12、ney for the Musee en Herbe, whose mission is to bring art to children.Founded more than 40 years ago, the 6,400-square-fbot space provides exhibit-related activities for those between the ages of 3 and 103.Were a little alien in the world of art,” said Sylvie Girardet, the museums director. She was

13、a graduate in art history and archaeology when she created the museum with two friends. At the time, she had been shocked to learn that the majority of the French population did not visit museums.Childhood is when a lot of core（核心）values are formed, said Ms Girardet.

17、ims to make music that uses synthetic（合成的）sounds to build real-seeming places. With electronic instruments, he creates the sound of wind, waves, bird calls, and insects. The sweet spot for me is when a piece I have made can be heard both as a field recording and as a completely composed, synthetic c

18、onstruct,* he says.In his new work, an online app called Phantom Islands, he tries out that idea to create a tour of islands that mapmakers once believed were real, but do not actually exist. Working with the web designer and developer Flavio Gortana, Pekler drew a map of imagined islands and filled

19、 each one with a fictional auditory(听觉 的）atmosphere.When European ships were traveling the world, during the Age of Exploration, the men on board would come back with tales of the islands theyd come across, previously, unknown, to their societies. Usually these reports would be accurate enough, but

20、sometimes this system went awry. Ship captains would conjure up（虚构 出 ）imaginary islands to please their funders and sailors would report seeing land that never existed. Over time, these reports would be corrected, although sometimes it would take centuries. Reports of phantom islands are still being

21、 exposed in this century. Theyre strange relics of a human attempt to better understand the world, with all the weaknesses that came along with that project. Thats part of what fascinates Pekler. These nonexistent places are connected with real stories of human bravery, devotion, cruelty, selfishnes

22、s, and confidence,” he says.Allow the map to take you on a tour, during which you will be accompanied by extraordinary sounds. Or you can explore on your own, hopping from one island to another, imagining places that never existed.8What do we know about Pekler?AHe used to be a mapmaker.BHe combines

BIt is out of fashion.CIt needs to be perfected. DIt involves little technology. Harry, the

25、 first camel to arrive in Australia in 1840, was an unlucky beast. He was imported from the Canary Islands by explorer John Horrocks. On an expedition （探险），Horrocks picked up his gun in order to shoot a beautiful bird to be added to the collection.” Perhaps Harry was an ecologisthe lurched （突然倾斜）, a

26、nd the gun discharged, shooting Horrocks in the face.Horrocks not surprisingly died of his injuries, and his teammates ordered Harry to be shot. The first importation of a camel into Australia came to naught.At the beginning of 1860, 24 camels arrived in Australia to be part of an expedition by expl

27、orers Robert OHara Burke and William John Wills. It was an unlucky expedition. The pair made one mistake after another, and ended up eating most of their camels within several months, before starving to death.Six years later, more than 100 camels and their Afghan minders arrived in Australia. This t

28、ime it succeeded and thousands more camels followed.Sir Thomas Elder set up the first camel studs （种畜场）in South Australia, while others were set up in Western Australia.

29、eleers （骆驼夫）were just as hardy and vital, leading camel trains across the cruel interior （腹地）of Australia, where few dared Io go. The camels carried heavy packs of wool and supplies and opened up the desert areas as none had managed to do before. The train that does this crossing today is called The

30、 Ghan, in their honor.Motorization put these camel trains out of business, and many camels were turned loose. The camels loved Australia, and multiplied in amazing numbers. What is to be done with them?Not surprisingly they have become quite a tourist attraction and you can take a camel ride in the

31、desert as the Afghan cameleers once did. But the fact is that camels create quite a problem in areas where they have taken over, as they damage local vegetation, muscle out native animals competing for food, and create chaos when they wander into settled area.12What do we know about Harry?AHe caused

32、 the death of an explorer. BHe was shot by his owner.CHe was interested in ecology. DHe was mistaken for a bird.13What can we infer from the passage?AHara Burke and William John Wills killed their camels by mistake.BIn 1860. most of the 24 camels arriving in Australia starved to death.CIn 1866, more than 100 camels arrived in Australia accompanied by their caretakers.DThe first camel studs was se
