21、The world’s largest astronomy museum in Shanghai, China opened on July 18, 2021, with its architecture and exhibitions celebrating the complexity of the vast and largely unknown universe.
Most obviously, the museum’s surface is intentionally designed without straight lines or right angles to mirror both the continuous state of time and space and the complex gravitational relationships among suns, moons and stars in the universe. “This design draws from the classic ‘ three-body problem’ in physics, the unsolved question of how to mathematically calculate their movements,” explains Wong, the chief architect. “While the calculation can be carried out between two heavenly bodies, the orbits become messy and unpredictable with three.”
The complexity is also translated into the new museum’s three key attractions: the oculus (圆洞天窗), the inverted dome (倒穹顶) and the sphere.
Opening up above the museum’s main entrance is the oculus. It acts as a timepiece, producing a circle of sunlight that travels across the floor throughout the day to indicate the time and season.
Next comes the inverted dome that sits at the roof line. Inside the inverted dome, visitors are cut away from the view of the nearby urban context. It gives visitors the chance to have a sweeping view of the open sky. “We want people to have a real contact with the universe and understand the special nature of Earth as a place that hosts life, unlike any other place that we know of in the universe,” Wong said.
Built in the roof of the lower Museun wing, as if rising out of the horizon, the sphere gradually comes into view as visitors go around the building, the drama unfolding as though they were approaching a planet from one of its moons, allowing visitors to have an illusion (幻觉) of weightlessness or anti-gravity.
Other major elements in and around the new museum include a crowd-drawing range of temporary and permanent exhibitions, a 78-foot solar telescope, an observatory, an education and research center, and the digital sky theater.
【1】What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.The meaning of “three-body problem”.
B.The complex structures of the museum.
C.One of the museum’s architectural features.
D.The messy orbits among the heavenly bodies.
【2】Which might be used as a clock?
A.The oculus.
B.The sphere.
C.The observatory.
D.The inverted dome.
【3】What can visitors do in the inverted dome?
A.Have an unblocked view of the open sky.
B.Think about the meaning of life on Earth.
C.Experience the sense of weightlessness.
D.Observe the sun through a solar telescope.
【4】How is the text developed?
A.By time.
B.By space.
C.By giving examples.
D.By listing statistics.
22、After 14 years, the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam, the Nertherlands, finally announced the recovery of two Vincent van Gogh paintings on Friday, thanks to a recent operation by Italian police." The paintings have been found! That I would be able to ever pronounce these words is something I had no longer dared to hope for. "said Axel Ruger, director of the Van Gogh Museum, at a press conference in Naples, Italy, where Italian police announced the success of their operation.
Vincent Willem Van Gogh (30 March 1853 -29 July 1890) was a Dutch Post-impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art. In just over a decade he created about 2100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of them in the last two years of his life. He sold only one painting during his lifetime and became famous after his suicide (自杀) at age 37, which followed years of poverty and mental illness. The two paintings are"Seascape at Scheveningen”, painted in 1882, and "Congregation Leaving the Reformed Church in Nuenen”, painted in 1884. Their authenticity (真实性) has been confirmed by experts of the museum.
According to Italian media reports, the paintings were discovered in a house belonging to an international drug dealer group based in Castellammare di Stabia, about I9 miles south-east of Naples
When the paintings were stolen in 2002, the lost was considered one of the"top 10"art crimes that year, according to British newspaper The Guardian. The paintings have no frames and show signs of some damage but remain " in fairly good condition, " the Van Gogh Museum said in a statement posted on its website. As further investigation and legal procedures on the local crime organization are underway, it's not clear when the paintings will be shipped to Amsterdam.

23、Beethoven wrote many famous pieces of music, but he’s probably best known for his nine symphonies. A symphony is a long, complicated piece of classical music, usually divided into four parts. The four parts are often linked by “themes”—repeated musical ideas that tie the whole piece together.
When Beethoven died in 1827, he had some ideas for a 10th Symphony. But all that he left behind were some notes about the piece and a few “sketches”—short bits of written music.
In 2019, a special team of musicians, computer scientists, and historians was formed. Their goal: to try to complete Beethoven’s 10th Symphony to celebrate his 250th birthday. The team didn’t just want to complete the symphony, they wanted to come as close as possible to producing the symphony that Beethoven meant to write. That’s where deep learning came in. Deep learning—sometimes called Artificial Intelligence (AI)—describes computer programs that sort deeply through huge amounts of information. This allows them to find patterns humans may not have noticed. The programs can then use those patterns in new and surprising ways.
To train an AI to help with the symphony, the team turned every piece of music that Beethoven ever wrote into a form the computer could understand.
By feeding the program all of Beethoven’s music, the AI could look for patterns in the way Beethoven wrote. This included, for example, how he re-used simple melodies all through a piece to create a theme, or how he moved between different parts of the symphony.
Other members of the team studied Beethoven’s notes and sketches, and worked to figure out what Beethoven was planning to do. Where in the symphony did he plan to use each little bit of music that he left?
________. They played a few minutes of music created by the AI for Beethoven experts, musicians, and reporters. No one could tell which parts had been written by Beethoven and which parts the AI made up.
Finally, the AI had the challenge of trying to connect the little musical bits into a symphony. It took over two years, but the team was able to complete Beethoven’s 10th Symphony. Not simply a melody, but 40 minutes of music for a full orchestra—a large group of musicians playing everything from string instruments, like violins, to trumpets, flutes, drums, and piano. So Beethoven now has a 10th Symphony. And though Beethoven didn’t write it all, the team feels sure that the music is very much like what he might have written, if he’d had the chance.
【1】What does “That” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.How to improve Beethoven’s symphonies.
B.How to celebrate Beethoven’s 250th birthday.
C.How to restore Beethoven’s original thought accurately.
D.How to complete Beethoven’s 10th Symphony efficiently.
【2】Which of the following statement can be best filled in Paragraph 7?
A.The test showed the team was on the right track.
B.The newly created music was beyond comparison.
C.The 10th Symphony was presented to be successful.
D.The first attempt proved the symphony was a masterpiece.
【3】What can be inferred about the application of AI in music?
A.They trained an AI to follow every note that Beethoven wrote.
B.Computer programs were written to turn these patterns into notes.
C.They taught AI to figure out how the music was played by Beethoven.
D.The AI managed to discover the patterns after processing the programs.
【4】Which would be the best title for the passage?
A.AI Is Applied to Playing Classical Music.
B.AI Is Used to Finish Beethoven’s Music.
C.The Process of Beethoven’s Creation of Music.
D.Beethoven’s Last but the Most Famous Symphony.
