Most of us have spent time at a museum，looking at and learning about the things there.But how many of us have ever thought about how these objects are kept in good condition？
Every year，museums put a lot of money and effort into keeping their objects in good condition.They make sure the temperature and light levels are always just right，and that the air isn't too wet.
However，even if the conditions are correct，some things still can ruin a valuable object—insects.Often they enter the museum inside the object itself.They may also be brought in by accident on visitors' clothes.Once inside the museum，they can quickly move from one object to another，and they enjoy eating natural materials such as wood，cotton，silk and wool.
Museum experts say that the older the objects are，the more the insects seem to be attracted（吸引） to them.That's a problem because these things can't easily be repaired.As a result，museums will try almost anything to prevent insects from harming their collections.For example，a new object will be kept separately at first.Then，when staff are sure there are no insects inside，it can be put on show.If insects are found in a piece of clothing or art，placing it in a freezer is one way of getting rid of（除掉） them.
But now one museum in the USA has decided to try something new.They are training a dog to find insects.Dogs have an excellent sense of smell.Usually the dog sits down to show that it has found what it's looking for.Staff at the Museum of Fine Arts，Boston hope that their dog，Riley，will learn to do this when it finds insects.They say that at the moment it's just an experiment（实验）.However，if Riley can help find insects before they do a lot of harm，other museums are sure to be interested.
25. The writer starts the passage by ______ .
A. telling stories B. comparing facts
C. raising a question D. giving an example
26. What does the underlined word" ruin"in Paragraph 3 mean ？ ______
A. protect B. destroy C. move D. send
27. In what object will an insect hide if it enters a museum？ ______
A. A glass painting of nature. B. An old bowl made of stone.
C. An ancient gold tower. D. An old Chinese silk painting.
28. What do we know about the Museum of Fine Arts，Boston？ ______
A. It has many collections of dogs.
B. It is trying to use a dog to find insects.
C. It plans to train Riley with other museums.
D. It is looking for volunteers for its experiment.
29. Which can be the best title for the passage？ ______
A. Insects Seem to be Interested in Older Objects.
B. Training Dogs to Find Insects in the Museum.
C. An Important New Way to Protect Museum Objects
D. Ways of Protecting Museum Collections from Insects

32. Last summer we visited a local farm in our city to pick up freshly-picked sweet corn.At the warehouse，we picked up a huge bag containing about 50 ears of corn for ＄30 .All that corn for a little of what it would cost in the grocery store，and a whole lot fresher as well.We shucked（剥去） it a few hours later，boiled it and slathered（涂上） it with margarine（黄油，奶油）.Biting into it，it was so delicious•••sweet-tasting and melting in your mouth.
Taking a drive in the countryside on a weekend means you can stop by various farm stands and pick up fresh produce that hasn't been sitting in a cold warehouse for days on end before it gets to your table.
If you've ever been strawberry picking on a farm，you know that those berries taste so much sweeter than anything else you've eaten.
The best thing is that you learn the true meaning of labor，and in many cases the price is much better than what you'd get in a grocery store.

______
(2) How was the corn from the farm？
______
(3) What did you need to do before you boiled the corn？
______

32.【答案】【小题1】Freshly-picked sweet corn.
【小题2】The corn from the farm for a little of what it would cost in the grocery store，and a whole lot fresher as well.
【小题3】We need to shuck it.
【小题4】Because the food we buy in the grocery store has been sitting in a cold warehouse for days.
【小题5】The best thing is that you learn the true meaning of labor.
【解析】细节理解题。
（1）根据第一段Last summer we visited a local farm in our city to pick up freshly-picked sweet corn.（去年夏天，我们参观了我们城市的一个农场，挑选新鲜采摘的甜玉米。）可知，去年夏天他们在当地的一个农场里挑选了新鲜采摘的甜玉米。故答案为：Freshly-picked sweet corn.
（2）根据第一段All that corn for a little of what it would cost in the grocery store，and a whole lot fresher as well.（所有这些玉米的价格只有杂货店的一小部分，而且新鲜得多。）可知，农场里的玉米只花了杂货店里的一点钱，而且还新鲜多了。故答案为：The corn from the farm for a little of what it would cost in the grocery store，and a whole lot fresher as well.
（3）根据第一段We shucked（剥去） it a few hours later，boiled it and slathered（涂上） it with margarine（黄油，奶油）.（几个小时后，我们把它去皮，煮开，涂上人造黄油。）可知，煮玉米之前我需要剥去玉米的皮。故答案为：We need to shuck it.

（5）根据第四段The best thing is that you learn the true meaning of labor，and in many cases the price is much better than what you'd get in a grocery store.（最好的事情是你了解了劳动力的真正含义，在许多情况下，价格比你在杂货店得到的要好得多。）可知，选择自己最好的事情是学会了劳动的真谛。故答案为：The best thing is that you learn the true meaning of labor.

Most of us have spent time at a museum，looking at and learning about the things there.But how many of us have ever thought about how these objects are kept in good condition？
Every year，museums put a lot of money and effort into keeping their objects in good condition.They make sure the temperature and light levels are always just right，and that the air isn't too wet.
However，even if the conditions are correct，some things still can ruin a valuable object—insects.Often they enter the museum inside the object itself.They may also be brought in by accident on visitors' clothes.Once inside the museum，they can quickly move from one object to another，and they enjoy eating natural materials such as wood，cotton，silk and wool.
Museum experts say that the older the objects are，the more the insects seem to be attracted（吸引） to them.That's a problem because these things can't easily be repaired.As a result，museums will try almost anything to prevent insects from harming their collections.For example，a new object will be kept separately at first.Then，when staff are sure there are no insects inside，it can be put on show.If insects are found in a piece of clothing or art，placing it in a freezer is one way of getting rid of（除掉） them.
But now one museum in the USA has decided to try something new.They are training a dog to find insects.Dogs have an excellent sense of smell.Usually the dog sits down to show that it has found what it's looking for.Staff at the Museum of Fine Arts，Boston hope that their dog，Riley，will learn to do this when it finds insects.They say that at the moment it's just an experiment（实验）.However，if Riley can help find insects before they do a lot of harm，other museums are sure to be interested.
25. The writer starts the passage by ______ .
A. telling stories B. comparing facts
C. raising a question D. giving an example
26. What does the underlined word" ruin"in Paragraph 3 mean ？ ______
A. protect B. destroy C. move D. send
27. In what object will an insect hide if it enters a museum？ ______
A. A glass painting of nature. B. An old bowl made of stone.
C. An ancient gold tower. D. An old Chinese silk painting.
28. What do we know about the Museum of Fine Arts，Boston？ ______
A. It has many collections of dogs.
B. It is trying to use a dog to find insects.
C. It plans to train Riley with other museums.
D. It is looking for volunteers for its experiment.
29. Which can be the best title for the passage？ ______
A. Insects Seem to be Interested in Older Objects.
B. Training Dogs to Find Insects in the Museum.
C. An Important New Way to Protect Museum Objects
D. Ways of Protecting Museum Collections from Insects

32. Last summer we visited a local farm in our city to pick up freshly-picked sweet corn.At the warehouse，we picked up a huge bag containing about 50 ears of corn for ＄30 .All that corn for a little of what it would cost in the grocery store，and a whole lot fresher as well.We shucked（剥去） it a few hours later，boiled it and slathered（涂上） it with margarine（黄油，奶油）.Biting into it，it was so delicious•••sweet-tasting and melting in your mouth.
Taking a drive in the countryside on a weekend means you can stop by various farm stands and pick up fresh produce that hasn't been sitting in a cold warehouse for days on end before it gets to your table.
If you've ever been strawberry picking on a farm，you know that those berries taste so much sweeter than anything else you've eaten.
The best thing is that you learn the true meaning of labor，and in many cases the price is much better than what you'd get in a grocery store.

（2）考查宾语从句引导词。句意：他问他的父母他是否可以给医院里的孩子们送礼物。A宾语从句中无词义；B什么时候；C是否；结合句意此时在征求父母意见，应该是"能否将礼物给医院里的孩子们"，因此if符合此空，故选C。
（3）考查代词。句意：但是他的父母拒绝了，因为他们自己有九个孩子，给生病的孩子买礼物太贵了。所给的选项都是代词"他们"的不同形式：A形容词性物主代词；B名词性物主代词；C主格；空格后有代词own，前面需要一个形容词，此时of one's own是一个固定搭配，意思是"某人自己的"，故选A。
（4）考查形容词。句意：这对他来说很难，因为他以前从未做过这件事。A形容词，困难的；B比较级，更困难的；C形容词最高级，最困难的；此时是陈述客观事实，没有进行比较，因此直接填入形容词原形即可，故选A。

（6）考查冠词。句意：他现在可以在一个小时内做一个泰迪熊。A，B：不定冠词；C定冠词；根据句意可知，此处是表示"一小时"，需要用不定冠词，hour是以元音音素开头的单词，因此用an，故选B。
（7）考查动词形式。句意：他试着每天做一只泰迪熊，这是他多年前开始的一个名为"奥利弗365计划"的项目。所给的选项都是动词"称作"的不同形式：A现在分词或动名词；B原形；C过去式或过去分词；动词和前面的名词 project之间是被动关系，即，这个被称之为……的项目，因此需要一个过去分词，故选C。
（8）考查被动语态。句意：许多人被奥利弗的故事所鼓舞，他们给他免费的材料。A一般现在时的被动语态；B现在进行时的主动语态；C现在完成时的主动语态；根据主语和动词之间的关系可知，此时是被动关系，即，很多人被鼓舞，再结合后面的时态可知是一般现在时，因此要填入的是一般现在时的被动语态，故选 A。
（9）考查时态。句意：到目前为止，奥利弗已经送出了大约1300只泰迪熊。A一般现在时；B现在完成时；C一般过去时；结合句中的时间标志词so far（迄今为止）可知，需要用现在完成时，故选B。
（10）考查动词形式。句意：他计划帮助更多生病的孩子。所给的选项都是动词"帮助"的不同形式：A原形；B动词不定式；C动名词或现在分词；句中动词plan的用法是：plan to do sth.意思是"计划做某事"，因此需要动词不定式，故选B。
