Formerly mobile, it has now found a permanent home where visitors can browse all year round, warm themselves up by a wood-burning fire in the winter and enjoy the performances of music and poetry on the rooftop stage in the summer.‎ ‎+44 7976886982, https://www.atlasobscura.com ‎◆ EL Ateneo Grand Splendid Buenos Aires, Argentina This theater-turned-cinema-turned-bookstore is an example of the connection between the performing arts and books. It preserves the traditional ceiling and special curtains of the former theater and books line the walls, including where the audience once sat in box seats.‎ ‎+54 1148136052, https://www.atlasobscura.com ‎◆Kay Craddock Antiquarian Bookseller Melbourne‎, ‎Australia This shop sells only antique and second-hand books. Visitors can search for the strange collection of owl figurines (猫头鹰雕像) scattered throughout or they can check out the shelves to find classics，such as a collection by Jane Austen printed in 1833 selling for ＄15, 000. ‎ ‎+61 (0)396548506, https://www.kaycraddock.com ‎◆ Zhongshuge Bookstore Hangzhou‎, ‎China Each location of this Chinese bookstore chain is architecturally unique, but the location in Hangzhou stands out. Stairs and seats built into round bookshelves combined with mirrored ceilings give the optical illusion (视觉幻象) of countless books. Other optical illusions include a tunnel of books and what appears to be a long roller coaster of books in the children's book room.‎ ‎+86 057188003279, https://weibo.com/67661899‎ ‎1.

I had already mentally planned our trips up north with the boys. I was going to spend endless hours playing baseball with you— like Grandpa did with me.‎ When we said goodbye to kindergarten I knew it was real. I spent some time being sad. Now you are 8. You still have no words. We have never had one of those father-son moments I pictured when you were a baby. But I'm learning that's OK. I still have unbelievable things to offer as your dad, even if they weren't the things I originally expected.‎ You have taught me to be patient. You have taught me that it's OK to be different and to be sad when life doesn't go as planned. You have taught me that it is OK to talk about those feelings and fight for what is right. Stand up and say this is wrong, and encourage others to stand up for you and say the same.‎ My job on this earth is to create a world for you and other kids like you. Be the voice you don't have, and build the kind of community which I want to see you grow up in. I used to shy away from contacting people with disabilities or just not consider them. Before you were born, I was so caught up in my own world that I probably wouldn't have even noticed. Now, I see things differently. I notice. You did that for me. And hope my example will do that for others. ‎ Your mom and I have spent 8 years trying to find your voice. And honestly, we don't know if we ever will. I promise you I will spend my life keeping you safe and making this world better for you.‎ ‎4. To whom is the text written?‎ ‎ A. The author's son. B. The author's wife. ‎ C. The author's father. D. The author's friend.‎ ‎5. What can be learned about the author?‎ ‎ A. He's at a loss what to do to help Jack.‎ ‎ B. He's to blame for Jack s present condition.‎ ‎ C. He has changed his attitude to the disabled.‎ ‎ D. He hasn't accepted the reality up to now.‎ ‎6. How does the author sound in the text?‎ ‎ A. Sympathetic. B. Caring.‎ C. Regretful. D. Indifferent.‎ ‎7. In which section of a magazine may this text appear?‎ A. Science. B. Entertainment.‎ C. Sports. D. Relationship.‎ C The TV series, The Longest Day in Chang'an, which was shown on Chinese online platforms last summer became a hit soon. Since then, it has been shown on partnering streaming platforms and TV networks abroad. Some websites overseas also offered the program to their users paying for it—— the first time a Chinese series was broadcast as paid content abroad.‎ ‎"I was amazed by the overseas audience's love for this show," Cao Dun, director of The Longest Day in Chang'an, told Bejing Review. "I was worried that they wouldn't understand the complex political structure of the Tang dynasty. But in reality the show is prompting foreign audiences to research Tang dynasty's history to better understand the plot. "‎ The unique culture in ancient China is not a barrier but a bridge to connect with foreign audiences. In the TV series, every figure is given enough space to flesh out his or her character. Telling stories of ordinary Chinese people that resonate(引起共鸣) with the audience might be the way to communicate with the world. "The success of the TV series shows that beauty is a universal language crossing borders," he told Beijing Review.‎ His ambition is to distinguish Chinese dramas from the TV shows in the rest of the world. "The TV series is a step in my plan to tell Chinese stories to the world," Cao said. "After describing the impressive beauty of the Tang dynasty, I am looking for several plays that tell stories of today's China. I don’t want to copy any country's production. Chinese dramas have to be built on our rich culture and Chinese people's everyday life," Cao added.‎ ‎8. What do we know about the TV series?‎ A. It was put on overseas, when first released. ‎ ‎ B. It can be appreciated for free.‎ ‎ C. It is about the development of the Tang dynasty.‎ ‎ D. It was very popular once it was shown.‎ ‎9. What does the underlined word "prompting" in paragraph 2 probably mean?‎ ‎ A. Requiring. B. Reminding.‎ ‎ C. Encouraging. D. Informing.‎ ‎10. What made the TV series a success? ‎ ‎ A. Stories of ordinary people. B. Recognition of beauty. ‎ ‎ C. Diversity of Chinese culture. D. Personalities of every figure.‎ ‎11. What is Cao Dun’s ambition? ‎ ‎ A. To tell Chinese stories to the world. B. To make a successful TV series.‎ ‎ C. To show China’s different nationalities. D. To learn the ancient political structure.‎ D Very few animals except dolphins, chimpanzees (黑猩猩)，and elephants have ever passed the mirror test for self-recognition. Scientists believe they have found a fish able recognize itself in a mirror. The result is surprising because this ability is usually only found in animals with bigger brains. Even humans don't usually pass the mirror test until they are about a year and a half old.‎ To test the wrasse (隆头鱼), a small fish in the sea, scientists put each wrasse in a tank with a mirror. They gave the fish a chance to get used to the mirror and watched their reactions. At first, the wrasses challenged the "other fish" by swimming up to the mirror and "fighting" them with the mouth. But soon the wrasses seemed to understand that something funny was happening. They began to swim toward the mirror upside down or in other unusual ways. It was like they were testing whether the fish in the mirror were really themselves. ‎ Once the wrasses seemed used to the mirror, the scientists gave the wrasses a mark by putting the fish to sleep and injecting something under their skin. Some of the fish got a brown mark. Other fish got a clear "mark" that didn't have a color and couldn't be seen in a mirror.‎ After looking in the mirror, the wrasses with the brown marks would rub the area with the mark against the sand in the bottom of the tank. Then they would go back and look in the mirror again, as if checking if the mark was still there. But when wrasses with brown marks were put in tanks without mirrors, they didn't try to rub their marks away. And wrasses with clear "marks" didn't either, even when they could see themselves in the mirror. ‎ The unexpected results are making some people look hard for other ways to explain how the wrasses reacted. So even though the wrasses seem to have passed the mirror test, the scientists will need some time to reflect on exactly what that means.‎ ‎12. Why do the scientists feel surprised about the result?‎ A. The fish has a big brain.‎ B. Elephants failed to pass the mirror test.‎ C. Chimpanzees are as clever as dolphins.‎ D. The fish succeeded in passing the mirror test.‎ ‎13. What did the scientists take notice of about the wrasses at first? ‎ A. They swam in unusual ways.‎ B. They were unaware of themselves in the mirror.‎ C. They thought the mirror interesting.‎ D. They wanted to challenge themselves.‎ ‎14. How did the fish with brown marks react in the mirror test?‎ A. They would rub the area with the mark against sand.‎ B. They would pay no attention to marks.‎ C. They would rest in the bottom of the tank.‎ D. They would swim upside down to the mirror.‎ ‎15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. Why Are Fish Smarter than Expected?‎ B. Do Colors Affect the Experiment?‎ C. How Is the Mirror Test Conducted?‎ D. Can Fish Recognize Themselves in the Mirror?‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Impolite cellphone users are anywhere where there's a cellphone signal. 16 .
