Some of the best museums across China are putting their exhibitions online in VR format for free. While stuck at home due to the novel coronavirus outbreak(新冠爆发), why not take a detailed online tour at museums that you would not otherwise have time for?

The Palace Museum

The Palace Museum is known as the Forbidden City. Although the museum is now closed due to the current epidemic prevention, it's possible for visitors to take a virtual tour of parts of the museum without actually setting foot on the majestic grounds.

Visitors can browse all the buildings of the Palace Museums. More than 400,000 imperial artifacts have been digitized online, which can definitely help you gain knowledge and immerse yourself in a

cultural atmosphere.

Shanghai Museum

Shanghai Museum is a large and famous museum, which collects over 120,000 precious artistic relics from more than 5,000 years ago to the Qing Dynasty( 清朝). The marvelous bronze, ceramics, paintings and calligraphies offer a visual feast for the eyes, and also provide a good chance for people to learn the profound Chinese history and culture.

Now visitors can directly browse dozens of classic caves and appreciate the murals( 壁画) by cave

rooms through the “Digital Dunhuang”, the website of the Mogao Caves. The development of “Digital Dunhuang” not only shocks visitors in a visual sense but also “moves” the Mogan Grottoes outside.

The writer Margaret Mitchell is best known for writing Gone with the Wind( 乱世佳人), first published in 1936. Her book and the movie based on it, tell a story of love and survival during the American Civil War. Visitors to the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta, Georgia, can go where she lived when she started composing the story and learn more about her life.

Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell House is an exhibit area telling about the writer’s life. She was born in Atlanta in 1900. She started writing stories when she was a child. She started working as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal newspaper in 1922. One photograph of Ms. Mitchell, called Peggy, shows her talking to a group of young college boys. She was only about one and a half meters tall. The young men tower over her, but she seems very happy and sure of herself. The tour guide explains: “Now in this picture Peggy is interviewing some boys from Georgia Tech, asking them such questions as ‘Would you really

marry a woman who works?’ And today it’d be ‘Would you marry one who doesn’t?”

The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments. Now we enter the first floor apartment where Ms. Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They made fun of the small apartment by calling it “The Dump”.

Around 1926, Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a reporter and was at home healing after an injury. Her husband brought her books to read from the library. She read so many books that he bought her a typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book. Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success. Margaret Mitchell received the Pulitzer Prize for the book. In 1939 the film version was released. It won ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture.

The book Gone with the Wind was    .

first published on a newspaper    B. awarded ten Academy Awards

C.first published in 1936    D. adapted from(由--改编)a movie

The underlined phrase “tower over” in Paragraph 2 means    .

be very pleased with    B. show great respect for

C. be much taller than    D. show little interest in

Why did Ms. Mitchell stop working as a reporter according to the passage?

Because she was rich enough.    B. Because she was injured then.

C. Because her husband didn’t like it.    D. Because she wanted to write books.

Which is the best title for the passage?

Gone with the Wind: A Huge Success.    B. Margaret Mitchell: A Great Female Writer.

C. An Introduction of the Margaret Mitchell House.   D. A Trip to Know Margaret Mitchell.

C

Instagram is containing so many photos of food — now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading(上传) photos of their dishes to social networks.

I always thought people’s taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK, I’d probably do it too. “The Picture House” is the world’s first pay-by-photo restaurant — you order, click a photo of the food, share on Instagram and eat for free!

The restaurant belongs to( 属于) frozen food giant (巨人) Birds Eye, who came up with the idea to

cash in on people’s addiction with photographing food and sharing the pictures online. They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals. So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range.

The pop-up diner was open in Soho, London for three days in May, and is now moving to other major UK cities. They serve two-course meals that customers don't have to pay for, if they photo and Instagram it.

The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye’s “Food for Life” campaign, a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food. “Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments — from the everyday to the special,” said marketing director Margaret Jobling.

The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far. And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to

be an effective way. Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses. Last year, in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there, not by what they eat.

Instagram probably is      .

a restaurant free of charge    B. a campaign of “Food for Life”

C. a new marketing project    D. a program used to share photos

What’s the author’s attitude to this new trend?

Opposed.    B. Interested.    C. Confused.    D. Unconcerned.

“The Picture House” encourages sharing photos of its food to      .

attract more customers

raise the price of frozen food

create a new social media trend

reward the regular customers

Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?

No Need to Pay    B. The Pop-up Diner

C. Pay by Picture    D. Food for Life

D

Tree planting used to be regarded as an effective means of controlling climate change. Perhaps it's time for us to rethink this practice. Trees pull carbon dioxide or CO2 from the air. This effectively removes CO2 from the atmosphere（大气层）, making trees an important part of the fight against climate change. But trees only hold onto carbon dioxide as long as they're alive. Once they die, trees decay ( 腐烂) and release that CO2 back into the atmosphere.

Recent studies have found that trees around the world are growing faster than ever. Rising atmosphere CO2 is probably driving that rapid growth, said Roel Brienen. High levels of this gas are boosting temperatures, which in turn speeds tree growth in those areas, he added. The faster trees grow, the faster they store carbon. It seems like good news. However, it is known that fast-growing tree species, in general, live shorter lives than their slow-growing relatives.

In order to see whether this is a universal phenomenon, Brienen and his colleagues analyzed over 210,000 individual tree ring records of 110 tree species from more than 70,000 sites worldwide.“By measuring tree rings' widths one can tell how fast trees grew, while counting rings provides information on tree ages and allows making inferences about trees' maximum lifespan (寿命).” Brienen explained.

The team also created a computer program that modeled a forest. Early on, it showed that “the forest

could hold more carbon as the trees grew faster”, Brienen reported. But after 20 years, these trees stared dying and losing this extra carbon again. “We must understand that the only solution to bring down CO2 levels is to stop emitting (排放) it into the atmosphere,” said Brienen.

What is the first paragraph mainly about?

Where carbon dioxide or CO2 is.

Whether trees will be planted or not.

Why the atmosphere can remove carbon dioxide.

Why trees against climate change should be rethought.

Why are trees growing faster than ever according to recent studies?

They give off and store lots of CO2.    B. They belong to fast-growing species.

C. Rising atmospheric CO2 may help them.    D. The surrounding trees may affect them.

According to tree rings' widths, we can know a tree's    .

age    B. height    C. growth speed    D. top lifespan

What might be talked about in the following paragraph?

Why the team founded the computer program.

Why the faster trees grow, the longer they live.

How to make the old trees live a little longer.

How to deal with dying trees emitting their extra carbon.
