(2024·河南省洛陽市統一考試)Some people like modern art, while others say that is rubbish.But a cleaner who works in the Tate Gallery in London isn't able to tell the difference.The woman, whose name isn't known, mistook a work of art by the German painter Gustav Metzger for a bag of rubbish, and threw it out with other bags. The plastic bag, which contained pieces of paper and cardboard, was later recovered outside the gallery, but the artist thought that it was too damaged to be put on show again. 78-year-old Mr Metzger explained that the exhibit, which he said was a copy of a similar work he had created in 1960, was meant to show that all art is temporary and “finite (有限的)”．
Embarrassed officials at the museum said that they had had to call a meeting with cleaners to explain which things should not be touched. They would not say whether Mr Metzger would be paid any compensation for the incident. However, to make absolutely sure the same thing would not happen again, they decided to cover Mr Metzger's work every evening with a coloured cloth. In this way the cleaners arriving after the gallery had been closed to the general public would realize they should not touch it.
This is not the first time that museum cleaners have had trouble distinguishing exhibits from rubbish. In 2001, in another London gallery, a cleaner threw away a work by the well-known British artist Damien Hirst. It was an arrangement of empty beer bottles, coffee cups, and overflowing ashtrays, which were meant to indicate the chaos in the life of an artist.
However, cleaners don't always throw things away — sometimes they clean them!
This was the case with a dirty bath, which was on show in a gallery in Germany. Without asking what the bath was doing in the gallery, the cleaners simply scrubbed it clean.

(2024·濰坊市第一中學高三上學期10月月考)Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time — about eight hours after you wake up — your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world, people take naps (小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers don't follow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap — even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.
語篇解讀：本文介紹了午休對身體有很大的好處。
5．Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?
A．Because you eat too much for lunch.
B．Because it's hot in summer.
C．Because your body temperature goes down at that time.
D．Because you didn't have a good sleep last night.
解析：選C 細節理解題。根據第一段中的“However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time — about eight hours after you wake up — your body temperature goes down.” 可知選C。
6．What can we learn about “naps” according to the last paragraph?
A．All the people in warmer climates take naps in the middle of the day.
B．Doctors need to take naps while employers don't.
C．If you take naps every day, you'll never suffer from heart disease.
D．Taking naps regularly is beneficial to people's health.
解析：選D 推理判斷題。根據文章的最后一段特別是“A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general.”可知D項正確。根據“Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps.”可知A項錯誤；B項是對“Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers don't follow it！”的曲解；C項說法太絕對，故應排除。
7．What can we infer from the passage?
A．If you get up at 6：30 am, you'd better take a nap at about 1：30 pm.
B．Taking a nap whenever you want will do good to your health.
C．You will feel less sleepy if you sleep for a long time.
D．You'll feel sleepy at regular intervals.
解析：選D 推理判斷題。由第二段的“Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up.”可知A項錯誤；由文章最后一段的倒數第二、三句可知，午睡太長或太晚都會使人感到疲勞，故C項錯誤；午睡應有合適的時間，想睡就睡對身體無益，故B項錯誤；根據第一段的“At that time — about eight hours ... slow down and feel sleepy.” 可知到某個時候通常會感到困倦，故D項正確。
8．What would be the best title for the text?
A．Just for a Rest
B．All for a Nap
C．A Special Sleep Pattern
D．Taking Naps in Warmer Climates
解析：選B 標題歸納題。文章主要介紹了午休對身體有很大的好處，因此建議大家如果有可能的話，都養成午休的習慣。故選B。
