There are probably no other two museums in the world that share such a similar name. In Chinese, they are both called Gugong. In English, the one in Taipei is named the "National Palace Museum". The other one is in Chinese mainland--the Palace Museum standing inside the Forbidden City (紫禁城) in Beijing.

The name suggests the two museums are connected, and soon they may be. The "National Palace Museum" has a collection of more than 650,000 pieces of ancient Chinese artwork, making it one of the largest in the world. Most of the collection is made up of high quality art collected by China's ancient emperors.

After years of waiting, people from the Chinese mainland could soon get a look at the relics (文物)that were once housed in Beijing' s Palace Museum.

In late February, the mainland agreed to lend 29 Qing Dynasty relics from the Palace Museum to Taiwan to display in October. They hope the favor will be returned. It is reported that the second half of the swap(交换)might happen within the next three to five years.

Chinese citizens are already drawing up lists of relics they'd most like to see in a mainland exhibition. These include the jade cabbage(翡翠玉白菜), the Dongpo look-alike stone(东坡肉形石)and the other half of the Song Dynasty painting Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival. Half of it has hung in Taipei since 1949; the other half can be seen in Beijing.

45. Which is right about the "National Palace Museum"?

A. The "National Palace Museum" stands inside the Forbidden City in Beijing.

B. It is the largest museum in the world.

C. All the collection in it is made up of high quality art collected by China's ancient emperors.

D. There is the jade cabbage and the Dongpo look-alike stone in it.

46. The underlined sentence "They hope the favor will be returned. "means ________.

A. it's hoped that Taiwan will have some of its relics appear in a mainland exhibition

B. they hope Taiwan will return their favourite relics

C. the mainland hope some relics once housed in Beijing' s Palace Museum will be returned

D. it's hoped that the "National Palace Museum" and the Palace Museum will become one

47. According to the passage, which is right about the painting Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival ?

A. It was painted in Qing Dynasty.

B. In 1949 the whole painting once hung in Taipei.

C. The two halves of the painting were not drawn by the same person.

D. It's likely that half of the painting hanging in Taipei was once housed in Beijing's Palace Museum.

Although similar in appearance to hyenas(土狼), African wild dogs are nevertheless true wild canine(犬). They are a mixture of black, yellow, and white in such a wide variety of patterns that no two individuals look exactly alike. African wild dogs are widely distributed across the African plains but they do not live in jungle areas.

They are social animals, living in groups of usually from 2 to 45 individuals. A hierarchy（统团） exists within the group,　 but the animals are friendly to one another. The young and the infirm（体弱的） are given special privileges within the group.

African wild dogs use their sense of sight, not smell, to find their prey. They can run up to 55 km/h for several kilometers. In eastern Africa, they mostly hunt Thomson's gazelles, but they will also attack calves, warthogs, zebras, impalas, and the young of large antelopes such as the gnu.

Growing human populations have decreased or degraded the African wild dog's habitat and also diminished their available prey. Road kill and human persecution（迫害） have also had a negative impact on African wild dog populations. This species is also susceptible to a variety of diseases such as distemper, which is controlled in domestic .dogs. Conservation of the African wild dog's natural habitat must have the highest priority, as these dogs suffer in habitats modified by human intrusion（干扰）．

1.What does the underlined word "susceptible" mean?

A. easily affected or suffered　　　　　　　　　 B. badly doubtful

C. seriously harmful　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. highly dangerous

2.What factors affect the population of the wild dogs?

B. African wild dogs are living in groups

C. African wild dogs use their eyes mostly when sleeping to guard

C. African wild dogs can run at a speed of about 15 m/s for a long distance.

5. What can we infer from the passage?

A. African wild dogs are not in danger, because there are such a wide variety of patterns.

B. African wild dogs are not in danger, because are widely distributed across the African plains.

高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.

People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.

Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they want to get some advantages in social position or fortune(财), nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections（反对）, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接触) with them. Otherwise, it can be unpleasing and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.

1.The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means ________.

A. make others unhappy

B. have a good taste with social life

C. often blame others openly

D. enjoy the pleasure of life

2.We can conclude from the passage that ________.

A. we should pity all such unhappy people

B. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness

C. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life

D. unhappy people cannot understand happy persons

3.If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should ________.

A. show no respect and politeness to them

B. prevent any communication with them

C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects

D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes

4.In this passage, the writer mainly ________.

A. describes two types of people

B. laughs at the unhappy people

C. suggests the unhappy people get rid of the habits of unhappiness

D. tells people how to be happy in life

People who are happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. They enjoy all cheerful things. Those who are unhappy think and speak only of unpleasant things.
