Central Park
Explore Central Park, one of the largest city parks in the world and one of the most famous symbols of New York. Let’s have a look at its main sights.
Central Park is New York’s largest city park and one of the biggest in the world, with an area of 843 acres (about 3.4 km2). This park is home to man-made lakes, waterfalls, grass and wooded areas. You will also find the Central Park Zoo, among other attractions in this green space of New York.
Besides being the city’s primary green lungs, Central Park is also a favorite spot for many New Yorkers. It is perfect for sunbathing, going for walks, or doing any outdoor sports. Something that we found curious is seeing so many people running with their babies in prams (婴儿车).
On Foot or by Bicycle
To get to know some of the wildest parts of Central Park we suggest walking. However, to get a general feel for the whole park, the best thing to do is hire a bicycle and enjoy the scenery.
If you decide to hire a bike, you will find lots of bike rental stores around Central Park that are not very expensive.
Open Time
From 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekends.
From 6 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on weekdays.
Price
Entry to the Park is free. But if you visit some parts like Central Park Zoo, you need to buy a ticket.

Jim Denevan is an amazing artist whose work is admired by all, but owned by none — that’s because all of Jim’s art is created on an unusual canvas — the soft sand. He sometimes spends days working on a piece, only to see it washed away by the sea or a storm and that is just the way he likes it.
Jim discovered his artistic talents about ten years ago, when he was wandering aimlessly on the beach with a stick. He ended up drawing a 12-foot-long fish. Since then, Jim has traveled over 1,800 miles while creating over 600 pieces of sand art.
Over the years, his drawings have become bigger, but the tools he uses haven’t changed — all he needs is a stick, a garden rake and most importantly, his lively imagination!
Just like any good artist, Jim is quite particular about the “quality” of his canvas, sometimes walking for miles, in search of perfect sand. His latest piece of work, which is also the world’s largest freelance drawing, was created in the desert sands of Nevada. It took Jim three trips, eight days and over 100 miles of walking to create this 3-mile work of art. It took the storm just one night to destroy it! However, Jim says he actually enjoys watching the waves or rain wash his paintings away. Jim’s art has become very popular over the years and was even the topic of a documentary named “Sandman” in 2005.
24. Why can nobody own Denevan’s art according to the story
A. Because it is too expensive.
B. Because nobody likes it.
C. Because it is easy to disappear.
D. Because it is out of style.
25. What does Jim enjoy about his work according to the text
A. Watching his work destroyed by nature.
B. Waiting for the storm to come.
C. Selling his work at a high price.
D. Sharing his work with others.
26. Which of the following can best describe Denevan
A. Kind-hearted. B. Imaginative.
C. Strict. D. Outgoing
27. What can be learned from the text
A. Jim gets many drawing tools.
B. It is easy to find suitable sand to draw on.
C. The storm can’t destroy Jim’s work.
D. Jim walks a lot to get his work better.
C
Almost none of us have the time to read everything we’d like to read. Yet we lose countless hours to daily activities that bring us little joy like taking buses and waiting in line. What if we could turn these little blocks of unoccupied (空闲的) time into precious and rewarding moments for learning and thinking
Established in 2012, iReader, a micro-learning app on mobile phones, brings the biggest ideas from best-selling books through 15-minute audio (音频) and text. So far, more than 3,000 books have been included, ranging from psychology and parenting to management and economics, with new titles added every day.
iReader is pioneering a new method of reading, with over 9 million users enjoying the benefits already. According to the Pew Research Center (PRC), the British read just 4 paper books a year and over 25% haven’t read a single paper book this year, but reading isn’t dying. There are now more ways for the British to read than ever before, due to the widespread use of audio books.
The books in iReader are rewritten to ensure it is easy to remember the main content. The way the content is edited has been specifically designed to ensure it is useful in practice. Besides, the content is rewritten with related examples in real life, which means users are more likely to remember and apply what is helpful to them.
Holger Seim, German co-founder of this app, declares, “iReader gives you the biggest ideas in the shortest possible time. It transforms great ideas into little packs you can listen to or read in just 15 minutes.”
28. What does the author suggest doing in the unoccupied time in paragraph 1
A. Having a good rest.
B. Writing and sharing.
C. Learning and thinking.
D. Talking and waiting.
29. What can we infer from the PRC’s research
A. Most of the British benefit a lot from reading.
B. Reading ways are more important than before.
C. E-books have taken the place of paper books.
D. New forms of books are changing the way the British read.
30. How does iReader make the content remembered easily
A. By adding fun to it.
B. By making it useful in practice.
C. By using colourful designs.
D. By taking users as examples.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. iReader: Big Ideas in Small Packages
B. iReader Unites Worldwide Book-lovers
C. iReader: The Best New App Creation
D. iReader Prevents Reading from Dying
D
“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” But now scientists have given us another warning: too much play with smart phones or computers makes you dull too.
“Many focus on the benefits of digital devices in education but ignore the costs,” said Patricia Greenfield from the University of California,“losing the ability to understand the emotions (情感) of other people is one of the costs.”
Greenfield and her research team did an experiment. They worked with 105 children who spent about 4.5 hours in front of screens on a school day. The students were asked to describe the emotions towards the pictures and videos of people who were happy, sad, angry or scared. Then, half of them attended a five-day nature and science camp. There they had no smart phones, TV or computers. The other half stayed in school and spent the five days as usual. Five days later, all the children took the test again.
Students who had been to the camp got about 5 percent more answers correct than they had done before the camp. But the other group of students didn’t show much improvement.
“The study is not perfect in some sense.” said the researchers. But scientists say that the study is still a warning for us. “Emotional skills develop in practice and the brain develops through real communication.” said Professor Taylor, a professor at the university of San Francisco.
Researchers talked to 2,000 parents of children aged 2-16 in the UK about what activities their children could do confidently. The results were surprising. Their children could use a tablet (平板电脑)(59%) and work a mobile phone (57%) more confidently than they could tie their shoe laces (鞋带)(53%)!
So, spend more time away from mobile phones and computers if you want to be an understanding friend, and not a member of what the Daily Mail called “Generation Helpless”.
32. What may using digital devices in education lead to according to Professor Greenfield
A. Failing to get along well with teachers.
B. Failing to understand others’ emotions.
C. Making more mistakes when taking exams.
D. Failing in all schoolwork.
33. What does the underlined word “ignore” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Change. B. Prepare.
C. Forgive. D. Overlook.
34. What can we know from the text
A. Most of the children couldn’t tie their shoe laces in the UK .
B. Students learned how to describe emotions in the experiment.
C. Too much play with digital devices raised some worries.
D. Students living without screens did much better in studies.
35. What is the purpose of the text
A. To show screens harm emotions.
B. To introduce a digital world.
C. To help us to stay away from the Internet.
D. To tell us how people become addicted.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
I’m often asked how to study English effectively. I think this means getting the most out of your study time, and that means variety. 36 .
Study Every Day
37 . However, don’t exaggerate (夸张)! Study for thirty minutes every day instead of two hours once a week. This habit of studying English every day will help keep English in your brain fresh.
A Little Grammar, a Little Listening, a Little Reading, and a Little Writing
Make sure that you study a number of areas rather than focusing on just one. Study a little grammar, then do a short listening exercise, and then read an article on the same topic. Don’t do too much; twenty minutes on three different types of exercises is plenty!
Review Grammar as You Watch or Read
Give yourself one grammar goal when reading a new article or watching a new video.
38 . Use colored pens to highlight (使……突出) forms that you are studying.
Use Different Learning Methods
Don’t just use one way to study English. Use many kinds of methods which will make all the parts of your brain help you. For example, if you are learning new vocabulary, you can create a word map, describe a picture, make a list... 39 .
40
You can practice the exercises together, have conversations together (in English) , and, as you study English together, help each other with exercises you may not understand.
A. Forget Grammar
B. Find Some Friends
C. It’s important to study English every day
D. All of these methods together help with your learning
E. Here are some basic ways to help you as you study English
F. Here are some ways to help you make good use of your study time
G. For example, try to write down each example of a form you are studying such as the
present tense

Dear Mary,
I’m very glad to receive your e-mail asking my advice on how to learn English well. Here are my suggestions:
Firstly, it’s important to listen to your teacher carefully in class and take notes when taking English courses. Secondly, as a saying goes, “Practice makes perfect.” You should practise listening, reading, speaking and writing every day. Only in this way can you learn English well. Thirdly, it’s also a good idea to watch English movies and listen to English songs in your free time, which will help you remember English words more easily.
English is widely used in the world, so you should learn it well. I believe with your great efforts, you will have a good command of it.
Yours,
Li Hua

答案解析
阅读理解
A
这是一篇应用文。本文对纽约的中央公园做了介绍，同时提到了其开放时间、抵达方式、价格和其附近的地点。
21. B 细节理解题。结合文章的第二段第二句：This park is home to man-made lakes, waterfalls, grass and wooded areas.可知，选项A是natural lakes，与man-made lakes概念不同；第三段第二句：It is perfect for sunbathing, going for walks, or doing any outdoor sports.可得出选项B和文意一致；结合第二段第一句：Central Park is New York’s largest city park and one of the biggest in the world, with an area of 843 acres (about 3.4 km2).可看出选项C不符合文章意义。由第一段第一句：Explore Central Park, one of the largest city parks in the world and one of the most famous symbols of New York.可知，中央公园是纽约最著名的标志之一。所以，选项D错误。故选B项。
22. A 细节理解题。根据题干关键词：enjoy the scenery，定位文章第4段最后一句：However, to get a general feel for the whole park, the best thing to do is hire a bicycle and enjoy the scenery.即可看出，选项A为正确答案。故选A项。
23. D 推理判断题。结合文章的大意，是介绍了纽约的中央公园和其相关的细节，所以，可以得出其来自旅行指南。选项A：教科书；选项B：历史书；选项C：时尚杂志；选项D：旅行指南。故选D项。
B

W: There were two men living next to each other, both with large gardens. One of them was a retired teacher and the other was a baker. The teacher seldom cared for the plants in his garden, but the baker was very careful with his plants and gave them water very often. Therefore, the teacher’s plants were small, while the baker’s plants were much bigger and greener. One night, a heavy storm hit the village. The next morning, both of the neighbors came out to check on their plants. The baker saw that his plants were destroyed. However, the teacher’s plants were not damaged at all. The baker asked the teacher, “We both grew the same plants and I cared for my plants better than you did. Why are your plants still OK ” The teacher smiled and said,“You gave your plants too much attention, so you made it too easy for them to grow. I gave my plants just a little bit of water, so their roots had to grow deeper to find more by themselves. That’s why my plants survived.”
