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. 4km2). 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 greenspace 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).

I decided to ski to the North Pole. It was after I saw an advertisement in a newspaper looking for people to join a team to ski 350 miles to the North Pole. Back in 1996, there had never been a woman from the UK who had accomplished this challenge. I wondered what it would be like to survive in temperatures cold enough to freeze your flesh in seconds, so I sent off for the application form.
The application form full of pictures of male explorers arrived. The words "Are you man enough for the ultimate (终极的) challenge " made me angry and even more determined to get on the team.
Over 500 individuals applied for a place in the team, and the selection process included physical and psychological tests designed to pick the best group. In one test, there was a huge rope ladder we had to climb, and I froze at the top because I have a fear of heights. I thought my hopes were fading as most other applicants sailed past, leaving me behind. But two others helped me over, and later I found out that the organizers were not looking for amazing individuals, but great team players, and this moment had shown them who would take care of others in the team.
I had revealed (显示) my weakness, and in a place like the Arctic, you have to be yourself, as there is nowhere to hide. There personalities of asking for help and showing weakness are necessary for women to master.
I realized that by being myself, I could succeed. I was selected for the team. I realized that I could achieve more than I ever imagined—more importantly, by sharing my story with others, I could inspire them to take a step into the new world and reveal more of their abilities.
24．How did the author react on seeing the advertisement
A．She got cross. B．She was determined.
C．She got frightened. D．She was uninterested.
25．What did the organizers view as the most important in the selection of new hands
A．Personal quality. B．Individual ability.
C．Spirit of teamwork. D．Courage to challenge.
26．What does the author think of women's showing weakness
A．Beneficia1. B．Shamefu1.
C．Mercifu1. D．Disturbing.
27．What's the intention of the author in writing this passage
A．To inspire us to prepare for our future goa1.
B．To advise women to turn to others.
C．To make suggestions to her team members.
D．To encourage people to explore the unknown.

Since the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment. “We didn’t know at that time there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA．
But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement .Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement. “The understanding has increased many， many times,” says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first. According to US government reports, emissions (排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 tons .The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9. Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with, the world is a safer and healthier place. A kind of “Green thinking” has become part of practices.
Great improvement has been achieved. In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs; today in 1995 there are about 6,600. Advanced lights, motors, and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.
Twenty –five years ago, there were hardly any education programs for environment. Today, it’s hard to find a public school, university, or law school that does not have such a kind of program. “Until we do that, nothing else will change!” says Bruce Anderson.
28．According to Anderson, before 1970, Americans had little idea about ___.
A．the social movement B．recycling techniques
C．environmental problems D．the importance of Earth Day
29．Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from
A．The grass –roots level. B．The business circle.
C．Government officials. D．University professors.
30．What have Americans achieved in environmental protection
A．They have cut car emissions to the lowest.
B．They have settled their environmental problems.
C．They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.
D．They have reduced pollution through effective measures.
31．What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph
A．Education. B．Planning
C．Green living D．CO reduction
D
Twelve years ago, Danny called me from a dark, damp subway station. “A baby!” he shouted. “Get down here, and flag down a police car or something.” By nature, Danny is a very calm person, so when I could almost feel his heartbeat through the phone line, I ran.
When I got to the subway station, Danny was holding a light-brown-skinned baby, about a day old. The baby had been wrapped (被包裹) in an oversize black sweatshirt and left on the ground in a corner behind the gate.
What neither of us knew, or could have assumed, was that Danny had not just saved an abandoned infant; he had found our son.
Three months later, Danny appeared in family court to tell the story of finding the baby. Suddenly, the judge asked, “Would you be interested in adopting this baby ” The question surprised everyone in the courtroom, except Danny, who answered, simply, “Yes.”
“But I know it’s not that easy,” he said.
“Well, it can be,” said the judge before giving orders to allow me to be a parent-to-be.
My first reaction, when I heard, went something like, “Are you crazy How could you say yes without asking me
In three years as a couple, we had never discussed adopting a child: I was an devoted playwright (剧作家) working as a part-time word clerk. Danny was a respected yet wildly under-paid social worker. We had a roommate, who slept in our living room, to help pay the rent.
We knew how many challenges couples usually faced when they want to have a baby. And while Danny had patience and selflessness, I didn’t know how to change a diaper (尿布), let alone nurse a child. I didn’t trust the social system and was sure there would be difficulties. Also, I couldn’t handle parenthood. So I promised myself I wouldn’t devote to it.
The caretaker held the baby and then placed him in my arms. But when the baby stared up at me, with all the innocence and hope he showed to me, I, like Danny, completely fell for him.
32．Why did the author rush to the subway station
A．Because Danny finally found their son.
B．Because she sensed Danny met something urgent.
C．Because Danny had a heart disease.
D．Because someone gave birth to a baby there.
33．How did the author feel on hearing Danny’s answer to the judge’s question
A．Excited by Danny’s words. B．Crazy to be a parent-to-be.
C．Angry about Danny’s decision. D．Upset about losing her authority.
34．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ______.
A．the author will adopt the baby
B．the couple were not to take the baby
C．the baby will bring hope to the family
D．the couple love each other very much
35．What is the author’s intention of writing the passage
A．To introduce a story of a poor family.
B．To inform people of the difficulty of adopting a baby.
C．To call on people to donate money to them.
D．To show human’s kindness and love by nature.

67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
When Jessica and her husband Edward welcomed their first child, they quickly understood that parenting would not be easy.Edward owned a textile(纺织品) business in Texas，but it was struggling. With a baby at home now, expenses went up, while income stayed the same or even went down in some months.There was constantly a lack of money.
Luckily, Edward's business grew slowly, and Jessica managed to save some money. But just when it appeared that they would be having a less stressful month, another problem knocked at their door : the washing machine broke down again.
After considering her options, Jessica realized that there was no point in getting the machine repaired. Jessica sat down to search online for a machine that she could afford. An hour of searching led her to one good find, but it cost $250, and Jessica could only afford to pay $150. In the end, she decided to see the owner James in person.
Upon arrival，a man opened the door.There was sadness in his eyes.“ How may I help you ” he asked. “ Hi! I’m Jessica. I messaged you regarding the washing machine. Can I have a look at it ”“Oh，e in,” James said. It seemed that the man was planning to move away.
“ Well, I hope you remember I said I wanted to talk about the price，” Jessica said embarrassedly.“I can't extend my budget beyond $150. We just had a baby, and you know things are not so well financially, so I am wondering if you could give me a discount ”
James stood there silently for a while. The woman’s sincere request made him think about his wife again，who had just passed away. He remembered she once told him that if he had the resources，he should help those who are less fortunate.Then he nodded his head in agreement.“Sure. $150 sounds like a good deal to me，” he said. Jessica’s eyes widened in surprise.“Really You are so nice. Thank you so much!”
Paragraph 1:
As Jessica entered the room, she saw the white machine.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
After getting home, Jessica was shocked to find $150 in the machine.

66．Dear Li Hua,
Terribly sorry to receive your letter telling me your confusion, I hasten to write to your to give you some ideas.
Personally, it normal for you to feel difficult to learn English, not understanding what teachers said in class or even failed in the exams. As a new senior student, it will take you sometime to adjust yourself to the busy and high-pressure life. So first and foremost, it is of vital significance to keep calm, remember being worried must be avoided. What’s more, turning to teachers or classmates for help is also a wise choice, for they may give you more practical and concrete proposals. Finally, nothing is better than listening to some English music or watching some English movie for you to improve your English in a short time, which will provide a good learning atmosphere.
Wish my suggestions useful.
Yours,
Emily
67．Paragraph 1:
As Jessica entered the room, she saw the white machine. It appeared brand new, exactly as she had seen it online. After checking the washing machine, Jessica was quite satisfied and quickly paid for it. Then James carried the huge machine to Jessica's car. Before moving it, he secretly put the money he just received into the machine. When all was done, James said with a sincere smile, “I hope the machine can help you in daily life. ”Jessica thanked him once more before leaving.
Paragraph 2:
After getting home, Jessica was shocked to find＄150 in the machine. She got a message from James. “It's a gift for your family. I don't think it is fair to ask for money from someone who was already struggling financially, ” it read. Jessica was so touched. Edward's business was gradually doing well. They sold their house to a poor family and moved into a large one. When moving away,she left the washing machine there with a note that read, “A gift from the former owner. Jessica. ”
