10.Is it possible to put millions of years of the world's history into one building?The British Museum seems to think so.
"A history of the World in 100 Objects",an exhibition about rare and ancient object from the world,has made it a success.
The British Museum says it owns at least 8 million historical objects.But why choose these 100 objects to tell stories of our world's history?
It all started with a challenge(挑战).
 Neil MacGregor,who was once director of the British Museum,was asked by BBC to choose 100 objects from the museum's huge collection day.
 MacGregor accepted,and took four years to choose each object himself.
 In 2010,MacGregor appeared on BBC radio,giving a detailed(详细的)explanation of each object.The show was a big hit and all these 100 objects were shown in the British Museum.A book with photos of each object soon followed.
"The objects had to cover the whole world,from a cooking pot to a golden galleon,from a Stone Age
tool to a credit card."MacGregor wrote.
The collection includes many important objects from China.There is a banknote from the Ming Dynasty,showing China as the first country to use paper money.
But it's not just ancient things that are shown.Among them are some modern things like a solar-powered lamp and even a throne made of weapons created by an African artist.
"Of course,the collection could only be'a'history of the world. But it is still a history that people in the present world need to know."MacGregor wrote.
34."A history of the World in 100 Objects"is a(n)D
A.TV programme about Africa   
B.challenge of scientific research
C.book about modern development   
D.exhibition of the world's history

D.the British Museum owns 2 million historical objects.
37.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?D

B.The history of the world is too long for us to show.
C.The British history is one part of the world's history.

37.D 句意猜测题.根据下文But it is still a history that people in the present world need to know."但是,现在世界上的人们仍然需要知道这一历史.可知这只是一部分历史,结合选项,应时说这些藏品只展示了世界悠久历史的一部分.故选D.

15.Dear Sunday Globe,
     I am writing to tell you about your article Smartphones Make Life Easier in last Sunday's newspaper.You did an excellent job explaining the good points of smartphones,but you didn't talk about their bad points at all.So,I hope you'll let me give your readers some advice on smartphone etiquette (礼仪).
     The first point I'd like to address is loudness.When you talk on your smartphone in public,please don't shout.In fact,the microphones in smartphones are very sensitive (灵敏的).So,you can be heard even if you speak quietly.
     Another point is about personal space.I don't think it is polite to make calls in small spaces full of people.This makes others uncomfortable and forces them to listen to your personal business.What's worse,it stops many face-to-face conversations from ever beginning.
     Lastly,doing two things at the same time is dangerous.For example,making calls while driving is a bad habit.Pay attention to the road!Similarly,when staying with your friends,turn off your smartphone and enjoy their company.
                                                                                                                                       Yours truly,
                                                                                                                                        Amber Jala
79.Amber Jala wrote the letter toB.
A.find a good job
B.provide advice
C.make her life easier
D.buy a smartphone
80.What does the underlined word"address"in Paragraph 2 probably mean?C
A.致函         B.称呼     C.陈述       D.选址
81.According to Paragraph 3,what makes people around you uncomfortable?D
A.Discussing face-to-face.
B.Speaking quietly on your phone.
C.Minding your own business.
D.Calling in small spaces full of people.
82.What can we learn from the last paragraph?D
A.It is dangerous to drive on the road.
B.It is easy to start a company with others.
C.It is bad to turn off our phones while driving.
