Passage 1
There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art. Washington, D.C. has the National Gallery of Art; Paris has the Luvre; London, the British Museum. Florida International University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see. And it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings.
FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States. You don’t have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked to a telephone.
You can call the telephone number of a University computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art produced electronically (通过电子手段) by artists on their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.
Robert Shostak is director of the new co

mputer museum. He says he starts the museum because computer artistes had no place to show their work.
A computer artist could only record his pictures electronically and send the records or floppy discs (软盘), to others to see on their computers. He could also print his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist needs an expensive laser (激光) printer.
Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have an audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum.
The main purpose of this passage is to give information about _________.
famous museums throughout the world
an electronic art museum in Miami, USA
art exhibitions in Florida International University
latest development of computer art
To see the art FIU museum, your special needs include ___________.
floppy discs
a computer and a printer
pictures and drawings on paper
a computer connected to the museum by a telephone line
What are stored in this museum?

The museum was stated when __________.

Art students needed better places to show their works
Computer scientists wanted to do something about art
The word “audience” in the last paragraph refers to __________.
A. art students B. computer owner C. exhibits in the museum D. those who will enjoy art

Passage 2
“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings.
“Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.
When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “It’s cool.” You may think, “He’s so cool,” when you see your favorite footballer.
We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one sentence, “It’s so cool.” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and left.
But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.
We know that the word “cool” has had ____________.
A. only one meaning B. no meaning C. many diff

erent meanings D. the same meaning
In the passage, the word “express” means “____________”.
A. see B. show C. know D. feel
If you are ___________something, you may say, “It’s cool.”
A. interested in B. angry about C. afraid of D. unhappy with
The writer takes an example to show he is ______________ the way the word is used.
A. pleased with B. strange to C. worried about D. careful with
In the passage, the writer suggests (暗示) that the word “cool” _____________.
cannot be replaced by other words
usually means something interesting
can make your life colorful
shouldn’t be overused
