单选题 Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage. A few years back, the decision to move the Barnes, a respected American art institution, from itscurrent location in the suburban town ofMerion, Pa., to a site in Philadelphia's museum district caused anargument—not only because it shamelessly went against the will of the founder, Albert C. Barnes, butalso because it threatened to dismantle (拆开) a relationship among art, architecture and landscape criticalto the Barnes's success as a museum. For any architect taking on the challenge of the new space, the confusion of moral and designquestions might seem overwhelming. What is an architect's responsibility to Barnes's vision of amarvelous but odd collection of early Modem artworks housed in a rambling (布局凌乱的) 1920sBeaux-Arts pile? Is it possible to reproduce its spirit in such a changed setting? Or does trying to replicate(复制) the Bames's unique atmosphere only doom you to failure? The answers of the New York architectstaking the commission are not reassuring. The new Barnes will include many of the features that have become virtually mandatory (强制性的) in the museum world today—conservation and education departments, temporary exhibition space,auditorium, bookstore, cafe—making it four times the size of the old Barnes. The architects have triedto compensate for this by laying out these spaces in an elaborate architectural procession that is clearlyintended to replicate the peacefulness, if not the fantastic charm, of the old museum. But the result is a complicated design. Almost every detail seems to ache from the strain of trying topreserve the spirit of the original building in a very different context. The failure to do so, despite such anearnest effort, is the strongest argument yet for why the Barnes should not be moved in the first place. The old Barnes is by no means an obvious model for a great museum. Inside the lighting is far fromperfect, and the collection itself, mixing masterpieces by Crzanne, Picasso and Soutine with second-ratepaintings by lesser-known artists, has a distinctly odd flavor. But these apparent flaws are also what havemade the Barnes one of the country's most charming exhibition spaces. But today the new Barnes is after a different kind of audience. Although museum officials say theexisting limits on crowd size will be kept, it is clearly meant to draw bigger numbers and more touristdollars. For most visitors the relationship to the art will feel less immediate.

单选题Passage One There are still parts of the world today where coins and notes are of no use. People will buy nothing, and a traveler might starve if he had none of the particular local "money" to exchange for food. Among isolated peoples, who are not often reached by traders from outside, commerce usually means barter. There is a direct exchange of goods. Perhaps it is fish for vegetables, meat for grain, or various kinds of food in exchange for pots, baskets, or other manufactured goods. For this kind of simple trading, money is not needed, but there is often something that everyone wants and everybody can use, such as salt to flavor food, shells for ornaments, or iron and copper to make into tools and vessels. These things-salt, shells or metals-are still used as money in out-of-the-way parts of the world today. Salt may seem rather a strange substance to use as money, as in countries where food of the people is mainly vegetable, it is often an absolute necessity. Cakes of salt, stamped to show their value, were used as money in Tibet until recent times, and cakes of salt will still buy goods in Borneo and parts of Africa. Metal, valued by weight, and preceded coins in many parts of the world. Iron, in lumps, bars or rings is still used in many countries instead of money. It can either be exchanged for goods, or made into tools, weapons or ornaments. The early money of China, apart from shell, was of bronze, often in flat, round pieces with a hole in the middle, called "cash". The earliest of these are between three thousand and four thousand years old-older than the earliest coins of the eastern Mediterranean. ①Nowadays, coins and notes have taken the place of all the more picturesque forms of money, and although in one or two of the more remote countries people still hoard(储藏) it for future use on ceremonial occasions such as weddings and funerals, examples of primitive money will soon be found only in museums.

单选题Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item.

单选题Looking for a new weight loss plan? Try living on top of a mountain. Mountain air contains less oxygen than air at lower altitudes, so breathing it causes the heart to beat faster and the body to bum more energy. A handful of studies have found that athletes training at high altitudes tend to lose weight. Doctor Florian Lippl of the University Hospital of Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich wondered how the mountain air would affect overweight individuals if they weren"t doing any more physical activity than usual. Lippl and his colleagues invited 20 overweight men to an environmental research station about 300 meters below the summit of Zugspitze, a mountain around 2,970 meters near the Austrian border. They were allowed to eat as much as they liked. The men also gave blood so that researchers could test for hormones (荷尔蒙) linked to appetite and fatness. At the end of the week, the men, whose mean weight starting out was 105kg, had lost on average about 1.5kg. The men"s blood pressure also dropped, which the researchers attributed to weight lost. Exactly what caused the weight loss is uncertain. Loss of appetite is common at higher altitudes, and indeed the men ate significantly less than usual—about 700 calories fewer per day. Lippl also notes that because their consumption was being recorded, they may have been more self-conscious about what they ate. Regardless, eating less accounts for just 1kg of the 1.5kg lost, says Lippl. He thinks the increased metabolic (新陈代谢) rate, which was measured, also contributed to weight loss but cannot separate the different effects with the given data. Appetite loss at high altitudes could certainly be key, notes Damian Bailey, a physiologist at the University of Glamorgan, UK, who recently lost 11kg during a 3-month expedition to the Andes in Chile. Unfortunately, for the average person there"s no treatment that can resemble living at high altitude, says Lippl. The only alternative is a hypobaric chamber, which exposes subjects to low oxygen and isn"t practical as a therapy. He says, half-jokingly, "if fat people plan their holidays, they might not go to the sea, but maybe to the mountains."
