Paris is a museum city. There are hundreds of them, big and small. But, most importantly, they are excellent, some of the best on the planet. From the Louvre to the Musée d’Orsay to the Centre Pompidou, you could spend a lifetime wandering the halls of the city’s great museums. Here are some of the best museums in Paris.

The Louvre

The world’s ultimate museum is also the biggest one and the most visited. The 35,000 art objects on display are all overshadowed by one single painting—Mona Lisa, in the Renaissance era.

Jeu de Paume

Set in the Tuileries Gardens next to the Louvre, Jeu de Paume’s past lives were of a tennis court and then a museum which housed Impressionist art. Today it is Paris’s main photography and video museum. It also occasionally shows art-house films.

Musée d’Orsay

Housed in a former railway station on the Left Bank of the Seine, the museum opened in 1986 and today houses the planet’s largest collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artworks. If you like 19th-century natural landscapes with rural lives and tastes, this is the place to take it all in.

Musée du Quai Branly

As Paris’s main home to non-European art, objects, and culture, this Jean Nouvel-designed museum exhibits a collection of 3,500 pieces, many of which were taken from various countries during the vast period of French Colonialism. There are objects from Quebec and Louisiana from the time when the regions were under French control. There are also Indian sculptures, masks from West Africa and other aesthetic delights.

1.Which is the best and most admired exhibit in the Louvre?

A.Mona Lisa. B.Renaissance.

C.Lady Era. D.Unknown.

2.Which museum houses Impressionist art nowadays?

A.Jeu de Paume. B.The Louvre.

C.Musée d’Orsay. D.Musée du Quai Branly.

3.Musée du Quai Branly is different from the other three in that _________.

A.it houses non-European objects B.it used to be a tennis court

C.it shows the 19th-century rural scenery D.it is Paris’s largest museum

Paris is the city of dreams; the city of love. If you are thinking of heading to Paris for a study period, then perhaps a little reality check is in order. But my experience was a romantic one.

I paved my path to Paris through an exchange program. On arrival in Paris, I was constantly reminded of the official processes I was required to complete — forms to be filled in, meetings to attend, the list seemed endless. Perhaps it was due to my well organizational habit, but somehow this endless list of to-do‟s was completed in little more than a week.

Then the real work began. Once classes were underway, I found myself volunteering to do oral presentations and assignments first, rather than last. This method turned out to be very helpful.

Once I had finished class for the week, I had an ever-increasing list of museums to visit, neighborhoods to explore, cafés to sit in, and parks to run around. Read as many books about Paris as you can. Talk to as many locals and other foreigners living there as you can. The one thing that reading a book or talking to someone cannot do is to provide you with the experience of wandering Paris on foot. I discovered some of my favorite places in Paris by wandering. The people watching, the sounds of the city, the colors as the seasons change, they all add to the　 ecstasy that is experiencing Paris as an exchange student.

After spending five months wandering through the charming neighborhoods, I fell in love with the atmosphere that came out from every open door, and with every spoken word. There is something comforting about walking to the market each Sunday to be faced with the beautiful display of fruits, vegetables and dairy products. There is warmth in saying bonjour to the man across the hall.

On my last day in Paris, I confidently said, “Bonjour Monsieur,” as I passed the little store down the street. I guess no matter how hard I tried I was always going to be an outsider, a tourist. The best part about going on exchange in Paris is falling in love with the city in your own unique way. Everyone‟s experience of Paris is different. I know mine is unique and special to me, my own little pieces of Paris.

1.What does the passage mainly tell us?

A. The special working experience in Paris.

B. The charming neighborhoods in Paris.

C. Living abroad in Paris as a student.

D. The stressful study life in Paris.

2.What does the underlined word “ecstasy” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Happiness.　　 B. Imagination.

C. Courage.　　 D. Reputation.

3.Beyond reading books, which experience would the author treasure most?

A. Enjoying a cup of coffee in his spare time.

B. Greeting people in French in the street.

C. Buying vegetables in the market.

D. Wandering in Paris on foot.

4.According to the passage, what left the author the deepest impression?

A. The steps he went through before the exchange program.

B. The presentations and assignments he did in class.

C. The academic achievement he made in his study.

D. The special culture he experienced in the city.

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Rome, Paris and New York are the world’s top fashion cities, all of which have produced some of the top trends, from fashionable skirts to the hottest new shoes. But have you ever wondered about the negative ideas that they have enforced?

In April 2016, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) in Britain banned an ad from Gucci that featured models dancing around and having fun, because they were all extremely skinny. Banning ads due to the models’ extreme figures isn’t new. The ASA banned an ad in 2015 for the same reason. In France, it has been ruled that models are to provide a doctor’s no providing that they are at a healthy weight.

So what is the healthy weight for models? Twenty years ago, the average fashion model weighed 8% less than the average woman. Today, they weigh 23 less.

People may think that being at an unhealthy weight will help them gain the benefits that the models do. This provides a standard of beauty, and therefore people who want to achieve those things may attempt to obtain them through unhealthy ways. People may think that they are overweight, due to the images of models’ thin figures. They see something wrong with their bodies whether they are overweight or not. This is a key factor in a lowered body image, low self-esteem, depression and possibly even eating disorders.

I’m not blaming the fashion industry by any means. It’s not their fault that many people look up to the models and expect to live a life like theirs. I am glad that the ASA is raising its voices when discussing the growing issue of body images in the fashion industry. By banning photos and videos, speaking out against them and pushing for doctor’s notes from the models, it’s pushing for the ideas that the traditional fashion industry’s body image demands should be changed and something more needs to be questioned.

1.According to the text, why was one of Gucci’s ads banned?

A. Because the models didn’t act according to the rule

B. Because its models are much too thin.

C. Because none of its models had a doctor’s note

D. Because its models were dancing in an unhealthy way

2.We can infer from the numbers mentioned in paragraph 3 that 　　　　 .

A. many women on a diet to become models

B. people don’t know why models weigh less

C. models are becoming thinner with time going by

D. the healthy weight for models hasn’t been decided .

3.What does the fourth paragraph mainly show?

A. The changes in the standard of beauty　　 B. The benefits of becoming thin figures.

C. The negative effects of models images　　 D. people’s attitudes towards models’ images

4.What is the author’s tone of writing this passage?

A. Objective　　 B. Hopeful.

C. Critical.　　 D. Humorous.
