    13．The National Gallery of Art in Washington，D．C．，is one of the world's greatest art museums．Millions of people have entered its doors to see paintings by the world's fine artists．But if these priceless masterpieces are to be preserved，the Gallery must protect them carefully．The Gallery's 135-man guard force has successfully prevented theft，but protecting the paintings from nature is a greater problem．
    In past times，the owners of paintings did not protect them from damaging changes in humidity and temperature．As a result，the life of these paintings was shortened．In the National Gallery，however，humidity and temperature are carefully controlled．The building is air-conditioned in summer and heated in winter．The air-conditioning and heating systems are so important to the life of the paintings that the Gallery has two of each system．If one should fail，the extra one can take over．
    Light is another enemy of paintings．Ultraviolet rays （紫外线） in light cause paintings to fade （褪色）．Long ago，paintings often hung in dark churches and palaces．A coat of varnish （清漆） was a protection from the weak light．But when museums took over the care of many paintings，they were often hung in brighter light than before．Soon they were in danger of fading．The damaging effects of light were increased when the museums removed the varnish coating，yellowed with age．
    To protect its paintings，the National Gallery installed （安装） a special kind of glass in its skylights．This glass allows visible lights to enter the building but it keeps out harmful ultraviolet rays．The Gallery has also developed new and better varnishes which help to keep paintings from fading．Thanks to these new precautions （预防措施），many of the world's greatest paintings are being well protected for future generations to enjoy．
    32．The text mainly tells us aboutD．
    A．the guard force in the National Gallery
    B．the air-conditioning and heating systems in the National Gallery
    C．priceless paintings of past times
    D．protecting great paintings from nature
    33．What does harm to paintings according to the text？A
    A．Humidity，temperature and light．
    B．Humidity，temperature and varnish．
    C．Humidity，light and varnish．
    D．Temperature，light and varnish．
    34．Why did the museums remove varnish coatings from some paintings？D
    A．They had built glass boxes for the paintings．
    B．They had taken over the care of the paintings．
    C．They found the coatings yellowed with age．
    D．They would add other coating materials to the paintings．
    35．We can infer from the text thatB．
    A．the National Gallery has done little to protect the paintings
    B．the care of the world's greatest paintings is both a big responsibility and a great challenge
    C．you can touch these paintings while you are in the National Gallery
    D．the guard force in the Gallery has not done a good job．

    分析 本文讲述了博物馆内的绘画作品会受到湿度，温度，光照的损害，以及博物馆是如何采取措施保护画的．

    解答 32．D：主旨大意题．结合but protecting the paintings from nature is a greater problem可知文章主要介绍了The National Gallery of Art如何保护馆内的绘画作品免受自然环境的破坏的．故选D．
    33．A：细节题．结合the owners of paintings did not protect them from damaging changes in humidity（湿度）and temperature和Light is another enemy of paintings可知湿度，温度和光照对绘画作品都有害，故选A．
    34．D：推断词义题．结合上文The Gallery has also developed new and better varnishes which help to keep paintings from fading．可知画廊采用了新开发的设备来保护画，故选D．
    35．B：推断题．结合But if these priceless masterpieces are to be preserved，the Gallery must protect them carefully．可知对于保护这些绘画作品既是一项挑战也是美术馆的责任．故选B．

    4．阅读下面短文，并根据题目要求用英语回答问题（请注意问题后的字数要求）
    I'm not an athlete，but I am a lover of the Olympics．My biggest sports moment ever didn't  require me to be the fastest，the highest，or the strongest．It just required me to be in the right place at the right time，and catch the opportunity when it came to me．It was to carry our national flag for the Olympic Torch Relay．
      As a part of the celebration，flag bearers（旗手）were needed．I served in the army at that time and the Olympic organizers asked for volunteers to help carry some of the flags．Although it demanded that I give up part of my weekends and get up early，I thought that it was the chance of a lifetime．

      As a flag bearer，I was supposed to run out in front．Though the flag was fairly heavy，I picked it up and ran with it．I ran past rows of people．I ran through television cameras．It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life，being able to carry our national flag in an international event like the Olympics．I was very proud of it．
      I had never been able to attend the Olympics，and I might never be important enough to carry an Olympic torch or anything like that，but I did get to carry our national flag in the torch relay，although I will no longer have the opportunity to carry the flag in the Olympics，and that would be one sports experience that would be difficult to forget．

    80．Do you want to be a flag bearer？Why or why not？（no more than 20 words）Yes．Because it will be a good chance to participate in an event and experience the love for my motherland．．

    8．Why must we pay taxes？The answers is that the government needs money for many things，for example to pay its soldiers，sailors and airman，to build roads，bridges，offices，schools，etc and to buy goods from abroad；and only the people of the country can supply the money．One of the most important taxes is income-tax which a person pays according to the amount of his income-tax，no matter he is a businessman，a doctor，a lawyer，a shopkeeper，a miner，or anything else．This is called a"direct"tax，because it is paid in money direct to the government．
    Another tax is paid on goods such as watches，jewelry，new clothes，tobacco，wine，etc，when they are brought into a country，such tax is paid as part of the price of these goods if they are later sold in shops．We call it"indirect"tax，because it is paid indirectly through the shopkeeper．
    People usually complain about having to pay taxes，but they forget that the money is spent on the things that they and their families need．We need policeman to catch thieves，to see that men obey the laws，to direct traffic，etc，and they must be paid what they earn；children need education and there must be schools and teachers；we want our streets to be kept clean，and the wages of men who do this kind of work have to be paid．Above all，the country must always be ready to defend itself against attacking enemies，and we cannot have an army without paying for it．
    Taxes，therefore，cannot be avoided．we buy our own food and clothes and pay for our own amusements，but there are several things that the States finds the money for，and that are necessary for us if our society is to continue．So we have to real cause to complain when we are asked to supply money to be spent for the good of ourselves and for our fellow-citizens．
    27．Indirect tax meansD．
    A．tax that is not paid directly to the government
    B．tax that is paid as an extra amount added to the price of certain goods
    C．tax that one pays direct to the government
    D．Both A and B．
    28．Which of the following is right？B
    A．Taxes are paid to the sellers．
    B．Tax is amount of money that you have to pay to the government so that it can pay for public services．
    C．Income-tax is an indirect tax．
    D．The tax on new clothes is paid in money direct to the government．
    29．People have no real reason to complain about having to pay taxes becauseC．
    A．some shopkeepers are very rich
    B．they need money to buy goods from abroad．
    C．the money is spent on the things that they and their families need
    D．their children need education
    30．"Taxes cannot be a voided"meansB．
    A．you do not have to pay tax on some goods
    B．people have to pay taxes to the government
    C．soldiers do not have to pay taxes
    D．all goods have to be taxed．
