The increasingly popular “design museums” that are opening today, however, play quite a different role. Unlike most art museums, the design museum shows objects that are easily found by the general public. These museums sometimes even place things like fridges and washing machines in the center of the hall. ‎ ‎ People have argued that design museums are often used as advertisements for new industrial technology. But their real role is to honor those excellently invented products. The difference between the window of a department store and the showcase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you something, while the second tells you the success of a sale. ‎ ‎ One advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the 11‎ ‎ objects on show. Unlike the average art museum visitors, design museum visitors seldom feel frightened or puzzled. This is partly because design museums clearly show how mass-produced(批量生产)products work and how design has improved the quality of our lives. Art museum exhibits, on the other hand, would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something beyond their understanding. ‎ ‎ In recent years, several new design museums have opened their doors. Each of these museums has tried to satisfy the public’s growing interest in the field with new ideas. London’s Design‎ ‎Museum, for example, shows a collection of mass-produced objects from Zippo lighters to electric typewriters to a group of Italian fish. tins. The choices open to design museums seem far less strict than those to art museums, and visitors may. also feel the humorous part of our society while walking around such exhibits as interesting and unusually attractive toys collected in our everyday life. ‎ ‎56. Showcases in design museums are different from store windows because they__________. ‎ ‎ A. show more technologically advanced products ‎ B. help increase the sales of products ‎ C. show why the products have sold well ‎ D. attract more people than store windows do ‎ 57. The author believes that most design museum visitors __________. ‎ ‎ A. do not admire mass-produced products ‎ B. are puzzled with technological exhibits ‎ C. dislike exhibits in art museums ‎ D. know the exhibits very well ‎ 58. The choices open to design museums __________. ‎ ‎ A. are not as strict as those to art museums ‎ B. are not aimed to interest the public ‎ C. may fail to bring some pleasure to visitors ‎ D. often contain precious exhibits ‎ 59. What does the underlined word “satisfy” mean in English?‎ ‎ A. develop B. take C. have D. meet ‎ 60. The best title for this passage is __________. ‎ 11‎ ‎ A. The forms of design museums B. The exhibits of design museums ‎ C. The nature of design museums D. The choices open to design museums B It seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble. That’s more or less what happened the night that Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty. ‎ ‎ “I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got-onto Highway 40, blue lights and sirens(警笛)going, I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway. The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me. He was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder.” ‎ ‎ But Hyde couldn’t go after him. Taking care of injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try to keep the Firebird in sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car. As it turned out, keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult. Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene. ‎ ‎ Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination(目的地). At that point he found another unit had already arrived at the accident scene. His help wasn’t needed, Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the Firebird, who by this time had developed something new to panic about. ‎ ‎ “Just about that time,” Hyde says, “I saw fire coming out from under that car, with blue smoke and oil going everywhere. He’d blown his engine. Now he had to stop.”‎ ‎ “After I arrested him, I asked him why he was running. He told me he didn’t have a driver’s license(执照).” ‎ ‎ That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty-a thousand dollars for the new engine-not to mention the charges for driving without a license, attempting to run away, and dangerous driving. ‎ ‎61. The meaning of “panicked” in Paragraph 2 is related to the feeling of __________. ‎ ‎ A. happiness B. hatred C. anger D. fear ‎ 62. Why did the driver of the Firebird suddenly speed down the highway?‎ ‎ A. Because he was racing with another driver on the road. ‎ 11‎ ‎ B. Because he realized he had to hurry to the accident scene. ‎ ‎ C. Because he thought the police officer wanted to stop him. ‎ ‎ D. Because he wanted to overtake other cars on the shoulder. ‎ ‎63. Which of the following statements is true?‎ ‎ A. Someone else was taking care of the injured person. ‎ ‎ B. The Pontiac reached its destination at the accident scene. ‎ ‎ C. Hyde knew where he was going by following the right car. ‎ ‎ D. The policeman was running after a speeder on Highway 40. ‎ ‎64. The driver of the Firebird__________. ‎ ‎ A. took a wrong turn on the way B. had some trouble with his car ‎ C. was stopped by the police officer D. paid for the expenses of the accident ‎65. What is probably the best title for the article?‎ ‎ A. Losing His Way? B. Going My Way?‎ ‎ C. Fun All the Way? D. Help on the Way?‎ V. 阅读表达(每小题2分, 共10分)‎ ‎ One of the most difficult things we may face in life is to forgive somebody who has hurt us deeply. ‎ ‎ A number of years ago, a woman named Paula D’Arcy was with her husband and three-year-old daughter on a highway in Connecticut. On the other side of the highway was a young man who was drunk, and driving at a high speed. He lost control of his car, crossed the median divider, smashed into the D’ Arcys’ car and killed Paula’s daughter and her husband. ‎ ‎ No words can be found to describe what Paula went through. She Suffered destruction in her life. Along with that were anger, bitterness(苦涩)and hatred for the man who had caused this horrific accident and was without regret. ‎ ‎ But Paula decided that she wouldn’t live her life in the underground prison that we create for ourselves when we are hurt and can’t forgive. She began to learn how to meditate(调解). She read books and went to counsel(咨询)professionals. She did everything she could. Finally she got to the point where she was able to get back on her feet and overcome a lot of bitterness, anger and need for revenge(复仇). She came to the point where one day she was able to honestly look at the 11‎ ‎ young man and say, “I forgive you.” And Paula went on with her life. ‎ ‎ Her life is really becoming better. She’s a gifted writer, fascinating speaker and spiritual counselor. She’s a force；and the force, I believe, came out of her ability to forgive. After the forgiveness, in a sense, Paula came into her fullness. ‎ ‎66.

Besides, once time is lost, it will never return. This is the reason why we should cherish time. ‎ ‎ Now that time is so valuable, we should have a correct attitude toward it. To begin with, we are expected to make full use of our limited time. What’s more, we can develop the good habit of saving time. However, the most important thing is that we must realize that wasting time means wasting our own life. ‎ ‎ In a word, if everybody knows why and how we should cherish time, we can do more useful things with it and our life will be more meaningful. ‎ 11‎
