Jack opened the dinosaur book. He found Tyrannosaurus. He read:

Tyrannosaurus was the largest meat-eating land animalof all time.If it were alive today, it would eat a human in one bite.

Great, thought Jack. The book was no help at all.He couldn’t hide on the other side of the hill.The Anatosauruses (鸭嘴龙) might run away.He couldn’t run to the tree house. The Tyrannosaurus might run faster.Maybe he should just waitfor the monster to leave.

Jack looked around the tree.The Tyrannosaurus had walked closer to the hill.Something caught Jack’s eye. Annie was coming down the rope ladder!

Stupid! What is she doing?Jack wondered.

Jack watched Annie jump off the ladder.She hurried over to the Pteranodon (翼龙). She was talking to him. She was waving her arms. She pointed at Jack, at the sky, at the tree house.

She is stupid! Jack thought.

“Go!Go back up in the tree! Our friend is coming!”Jack whispered. “Go!”

Jack heard a roar (咆哮).The Tyrannosaurus was looking in his direction.Jack hit the ground.The Tyrannosaurus was coming toward the hill.Jack felt the ground shaking.

What should I do? Jack wondered. Should I run? Pull myself back into Dinosaur Valley? Or climb the tree?

Suddenly a giant shadow covered Jack. He looked up.The Pteranodon was flying overhead. The giant creature sailed toward the top of the hill.He was heading toward Jack.

C

“The past is a different country;they do things differently there,” L.P.Hartley wrote in one of his best-known novels,The Go-Between.To the British novelist,the past was not closely connected.And one of my Chinese students once told me “I have no interest in the past. I’m only interested in the present and the future.” I have to disagree. The “past” is a very interesting country, and the more we know about it, the more we will be able to understand the present and in this way, prepare ourselves for the future.

An ideal place, as I see it, that can allow us to look back on the past is the museum. I prefer to visit museums as if you are sitting in the same room with some of the greatest men in history. While no museums can make sure to offer a complete picture of human history, the lessons we can learn from the events and wonders of the past are of great value.

Thanks to modern technology,museums are being turned from places of looking and learning to spaces for people to really take part in.A large number of multi-media(多媒体) shows,which allow visitors to keep their interest in its exhibits(展览品) during their visit, play a big part at the Shanghai Natural History Museum.

The rise in technology has also made museums more reachable than ever.Since the outbreak of COVID-19,traditional museums have started to thinkoutside of the boxin order to create new ways for visitors to experience their collections online.It is surely good news for those who are crazy about museums but have difficulty actually going there. However, you shouldn’t expect to get the same experience that an in-person visit would provide, at least, that is, for now.

International Museum Day is on May 18 every year. This is a quick reminder that you should always spare some time to visit museums and enjoy the “must-see ‘em” things that are an important part of the cultural heritage of humankind.

(     )7. What does the writer think of “the past”?     

A. Different. B. Meaningful.   C. Unimportant.  D. Understandable.

(     )8. Why is the museum an ideal place to look back on the past?     

A. It’s where to learn and think.       B. It’s where to learn about past events. 

C. It’s where to meet with great minds.   D. It’s where to learn from ancient wonders.

(     )9. What does “outside of the box ” mean?     

A. Offering online exhibits.               B. Allowing more in-person visits.

C. Adding multi-media shows.           D. Showing a complete picture of history.

(     )10. Which could be the best title for the text?     

A. Technology Recreates Museums      B. Celebrate International Museum Day

C. Museums Are “Must-see ‘ems”      D. Visit Museums In-person or Online

六、阅读填空

In recent times, the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted(破坏)the age-old habit of shakinghands. It is most widely used as a greeting, but when did shaking hands become the standardgreeting?

The handshake dates all the way back to the 9th century BC. King Shalmaneser Ill ruled over Assyria, an empire(帝国)of the ancient Middle East. Archaeologists(考古学家)found a throne base from that time. It shows two people holding hands. In the 5th century BC, in Greece, this was a symbol of peace, showing that neither person carried a weapon. The handshake also made an appearance in Homer's ancient poem, the lliad(荷马史诗).In it, two characters “shook each other's hands".

However, these handshakes were not used as greetings. The earliest reference to a handshake greeting is in 16th century novels by French writer Francois Rabelais, says Dutch sociologist Herman Roodenburg.

Even so, the most widely-accepted theory about the handshake's origin is that it survivedthrough a group called the Quakers, who were committed(致力于)to equality and peace. Asthe movement spread, so did the handshake, eventually becoming standard among the working class in the mid-1700s.

However, this was not the case everywhere, according to Roodenburg. Some French peopledescribed it as a vulgar(平民)English greeting, so many maintained(维持)“la bise", the traditional peck(轻吻)on two cheeks, which was widely used until the COVID-19 outbreak. In many countries, people have started touching elbows or ankles to greet each other instead of shaking hands for safety.
