Welcome to Los Angeles. Here are some best things to do in Los Angeles (LA) with your kids.
Fall at the Beach
Thanks to its almost perfect weather all through the year, a visit to the beach is one of the best things to do when in Los Angeles with kids. While they enjoy themselves nearby, you can simply relax and have a good rest in the sun.

A trip to the City of Angels with your little angels is incomplete without a visit to the Magic Kingdom. The joy they'll feel from being around all those Disney characters will light up your day, too.
Visit to the museums
If you want to turn your stay in LA into an educational one for your kids, you should visit the museums. Starting with the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, or the California Science Center, or even the Kidspace Museum in Pasadena, you have many choices. I'm sure a visit to all these places will make your kids feel smarter.
Visit to the Universal Studios Hollywood
Your kids could get to see interesting things from some of the most popular movies ever. From the theme park of Jurassic Park to Wisteria Lane from the TV play Desperate Housewives, the Universal Studios Hollywood is a place that we all find wonderful.

First it was jogging. Then aerobics (有氧运动). Not too long ago, Americans discovered race walking.
Now Americans are into a new fitness craze. They’re taking up bicycling. Over hills and down mountainsides and across quiet country roads, Americans are busily rolling along.
The number of adults who ride for fitness is around 17 million, an increase of 70 percent over four years ago. Twice as many women as men are coming to the sport. Americans are falling in love with biking because it has speed, the benefits of jogging and beautiful scenery.
Bicycling is a very appropriate sport, which is important to people who injured their knees while jogging or whose joints are aching from aerobics. And biking is a real awakening for people who have been into race walking in the past. Race walking is as dull as watching paint dry.
The most popular kind of bicycle for people who are new to the sport is the mountain bike, which has a fixed frame with wide tires and upright handles.
Mountain bikes also have many gears (齿轮) to make it easier to climb hills. About 5 million Americans ride mountain bikes, compared with 200, 000 who rode them only five years ago.
Costs range from about $130 for a bottom-of-the-line bicycle to more than $2,700 for an expensive bicycle.
Mountain biking has attracted some people who race down the sides of mountains like a bat out of hell. But most riders ride slowly and they rarely venture far from home.
The biking craze has brought an unexpected profit (盈利) to clothing and bicycle accessory (附属品) makers. Last year, bikers paid $630 million for biking clothes and accessories.
Bicycling seems likely to continue its fantastic growth.
24.Why is race walking as dull as watching paint dry

B.The number of adults who ride for fitness has grown 70 percent in four years.
C.It has speed, the benefits of jogging and beautiful scenery.
D.Americans are taking up bicycling.
25.Whom has the bicycling craze been a profit for

C.Race walkers.
D.Twice as many women as men.
26.What does the underlined word “bottom-of-the-line” mean
A.poor B.modern C.old D.cheapest
27.What is the main idea of the article
A.Riding a bicycle is one of the most dangerous sports in America.
B.Americans are rolling along.
C.Bicycling is the latest fitness craze to hit America.
D.Most people in America want to own a hand-made bicycle that can cost more than $2,700.
C
Culture shock is a broad term for the series of personal difficulties that people go through in new places. It’s usually most extreme for those who can’t speak the language of the place they have moved to, or for those who aren't familiar with the social rules. Both of these things applied to me in China when I moved there in 2011.
So, naturally, I went through the four well-known stages of culture shock: honeymoon, distress(痛苦),re-integration(重新融入)and autonomy(独立自主).
When I arrived, I was excited and optimistic, but I quickly became angry by cultural differences, missing how things worked back home.
By the end of my first year, I had totally lost my self-confidence; I was a bitter, clumsy and sensitive person, and I blamed China for making me that way.
Then, in my second year, I started to pick up some language skills, and I found fun activities to do in my spare time. I made great foreign and Chinese friends, and I developed an interest in Chinese history and culture.
I learned to consider myself a confident and happy laowai.
Today I’m back in the US, where I’m pursuing a PhD at a university in my hometown. It’s been a little tough to readjust to life in my home country. I suffered at first from “reverse”culture shock, experiencing the four stages in the opposite order.
I started out feeling independent and self-confident, before slowly realizing that I knew my country much less well than I used to.I’d complain loudly about little things, like how I could no longer shout “fuwuyuan!” to get a waiter’s attention in a restaurant.
But eventually, I came to realize that what I had thought was my “home” had become an entirely new place while I’d been away. That, by itself, was exciting.
28.Which of the following least helped the author ease his culture shock in China
A.By learning the Chinese language.
B.By making local friends.
C.By joining in fun activities.
D.By attending history courses.
29.Which stage of culture shock does Paragraph 4 mainly describe
A.Distress. B.Honeymoon. C.Re-integration. D.Autonomy.
30.What does the word “reverse” mean in Paragraph 7
A.Exchange the position.
B.Stop having a particular position.
C.Change the order of something around.
D.Change the previous decision.
31.When the author went back to the US, what did he do
A.He moved to a new place with his family.
B.He felt relaxed in a more familiar culture.
C.He missed his life in China very much.
D.He found it difficult to adapt to life there.
D
More students than ever before are taking a gap-year (间隔年)before going to university. It used to be called the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated (起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.
This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by University and College Admissions Service (UCAS).
That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said.
But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student had ship – young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to £15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and More students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods,”he said.
32. What do we learn about the gap year from the text
A. It is flexible in length. B. It is a time for relaxation.
C. It is increasingly popular. D. It is required by universities.
33. According to Tony Higgins, why do students take a gap year
A. They are better prepared for college studies
B. They know a lot more about their future jobs
C. They are more likely to leave university in debt
D. They have a better chance to enter top universities
34. How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon
A. He’s puzzled. B. He’s worried.
C. He’s surprised. D. He’s annoyed.
35. What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics
A. Attend additional courses. B. Make plans for the new term.
C. Earn money for their education. D. Prepare for their graduate studies.

【语篇分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在一个艺术展上做了两周的志愿者的经历。
【71题详解】
考查介词。句意:去年12月,我在一个艺术展上做了两周的志愿者。根据“my voluntary work”可知,此处是指作为志愿者,所以应用介词as表示“作为”。故将for改为as。
【72题详解】
考查动名词。句意:在开始我的志愿工作之前,我做了充分的准备。在介词before后应用动名词作宾语。故将begin改为beginning。
【73题详解】
考查形容词。句意:我仔细研究了每一位艺术家的生活经历和每件作品的详细解释。修饰名词research应用形容词。形容词careful意为“仔细的”。故将carefully改为careful。
【74题详解】
考查连词。句意:我仔细研究了每一位艺术家的生活经历和每件作品的详细解释。“the life experiences of each artist”和“the detailed explanations of each artwork”构成并列关系,所以应用连词and。故将or改为and。
【75题详解】
考查时态。句意:那天我在那里遇到了很多有趣的人,包括一位老太太。此处描述过去的事情,应用一般过去时。故将meet改为met。
【76题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:她以前是个学艺术的学生,我和她讨论了一些艺术作品。be used to do意为“被用来做某事”,used to do意为“过去常常做某事”,为固定搭配。根据句意可知,此处是指她以前是个学艺术的学生。故去掉was。
【77题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:她以前是个学艺术的学生,我和她讨论了一些艺术作品。在非限制性定语从句中,缺少介词with的宾语,先行词为She,所以应用关系代词whom。故将who改为whom。
【78题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:我还在展览上看到了一些孩子,他们似乎对艺术品有很多疑问。在some后应用可数名词复数。故将child改为children。
【79题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:我还在展览上看到了一些孩子,他们似乎对艺术品有很多疑问。seem to do意为“似乎做某事”,为固定搭配。故在seemed后加to。
【80题详解】
考查人称代词。句意:我从这次经历中学到了很多,并且永远不会忘记。此处代指“this experience”应用人称代词it作宾语。故将them改为it。
第二节 书面表达
【参考范文】
Dear Miss Evans,
How are you I’m writing to invite you to come and help us about the volunteering work.
To begin with, as volunteers, we ought to possess the ability to speak English fluently and naturally. To be honest, I have some problems to communicate with foreign students in English, so there is no doubt that you could give us a lot of help. What’s more, you can also share your experience about being a volunteer. Eventually, I would like you to convey the meaning of volunteering work, because we have little idea about the work.
I sincerely hope you could accept my invitation.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

M: Hello, everyone. My name is John. Today I want to say something mainly about my daily life. First I want to say my life has changed a lot. When I was a child, I had a lot of time to play. But now I have to study all day. I used to play baseball and basketball with my classmates, but now I just stay at home and do my homework. I seldom watch TV these days, for I'm often busy preparing for my tests. Books were my good friends. I used to read a lot of cartoon books and storybooks instead of reading textbooks all day like now. I enjoy doing homework with my friends. But my parents don't allow me to do that, because they think we will talk instead of studying. I disagree. We can learn a lot from each other. My mother is a doctor, and my father is an engineer. They expect me to be a doctor when I grow up, but I want to be a writer. Maybe I'll be a doctor anyway, but I don't think I could be a happy doctor
