1．Like everything else，London's world-class museums closed in March，but one by one，most of them have announced their reopening.Visiting will be very different to the museum experience you're used to，though：you'll have to pre-book a timed entry slot（時段），you may have to follow a one-way route and face masks will be encouraged.

2．Ernest Hemingway，like all writers，means different things to different people.To some，he represents a hunting，drinking，smoking，and aggressive male.To my high school mind，he was just some old white guy going on about a fisherman desperate to catch a large sea fish-though.Ms.Frederieks，my English teacher，had forced us to read The Old Man and the Sea，I didn't come to appreciate it，nor any of Hemingway's books，until much later.But in my early 20s，someone mailed me a dusty copy of Hemingway's first novel，The Sun Also Rises.I'd never read anything quite like it - and haven't since.
Today marks the 90th anniversary of the publication of that book，a masterpiece of the form，The Sun Also Rises is a rare achievement in its power.Its brief yet evocative （引起共鳴的）sentences made a strong impression as I was beginning to develop my own love of words. "Don't you ever get the feeling that all your life is going by and you're not taking advantage of it？" one character asks narrator Jake，an American newspaper reporter. "Do you realize you've lived nearly half the time you have to live already？"
None of Hemingway's other works，though some were good and even great，quite expressed the idea of desire and longing that his first novel does.But there's also an obvious sadness that affects the entire novel，which，in truth，is what attracted me more than anything.How could these depressed and often insufferable characters be drawn so beautifully？And how on earth could such simple，undecorated writing carry this kind of emotional weight？Nathaniel Hawthorne says it best："Easy reading is extremely hard writing."
But for me，it's much more than that.When I read？The Sun Also Rises-and I go back to it every few yeas - I'm instantly transported to Pamplona，where Hemingway's characters go to watch the bullfights.I visited Pamplona as a kid with my family，and I too watched the bullfights with my father - who randomly sent me this wonderful book.
（1）What did the author think of Hemingway when he was in high school？
A．A puzzle.
B．A specialist.
C．A legend.
D．A passer-by.
（2）What do we know about The Sun Also Rises？
A．It is a best seller.
B．It was published a century ago.
C．Its simple words are appealing.
D．It's Hemingway's most popular novel.
（3）What can we infer about the author from the text？
A．He is crazy about travelling.
B．He was greatly affected by the book.
C．He attached importance to reading.
D．He enjoyed looking back on old days.
（4）Which column is the passage possibly from？
A．Review.
B．News.
C．Anecdote.
D．History.組卷：5難度：0.5 -
3．The battle for the best seat on a plane is one problem that airlines seem to find ever more inventive ways to solve.
But light comparison website Skyscanner today claimed to hare identified the perfect place to sit.
The site surveyed more than 1，000 airline passengers on their seat preferences - the study did not consider the extra legroom factor - looking at which section of the aircraft they chose，and whether they sat in the middle，aisle （過道）or window.
And the verdict is in-seat 6 A.
Previous research has found that passengers prefer the front six rows of the plane，while 60 percent of people favour a window seat，39 percent choose the aisle and just one percent the middle.The survey also found that 31 E，a middle seat located near the back of the plane，was the one most wanted to avoid.
Skyscanner travel editor Sam Baldwin explained the reasons for the results.He said： "Our survey shows that travelers are very particular about where they sit，with most people heading towards the front of the aircraft on the left hand side.The most popular seat，6 A，is well positioned for those wanting to get off the aircraft quickly without being too close to the hustle（忙碌，喧囂） of the front toilets.I think it's easy to see why seat 31 E is the most unpopular，as it's an awkward middle seat，towards the back of the aircraft which is neither close to the exit doors or the toilets."
He added， "There is always a great rush to get on board and get that favoured seat and I think it is really interesting that there are so many differing opinions on this.I just hope that the low cost carriers don't find out that there is such demand for seat 6 A and start charging an extra payment for it!"
（1）Why did the website make the survey？
A．To increase income.
B．To tower costs.
C．To provide information.
D．To arrange seats.
（2）What does the underlined word "verdict" in paragraph 4 mean？
A．Doubt.
B．Decision.
C．Demand.
D．Design.
（3）Which seat is probably the least popular？
A．A seat in the first row.
B．A seat with the extra legroom.
C．A seat on the left hand side.
D．A middle seat near the back of the plane.
（4）Why do many passengers favour seat 6 A？
A．It is safer.
B．It is near the toilet.
C．It is cheaper.
D．It is more convenient.組卷：5引用：1難度：0.5
