The best things to do in New York City with kids
Check out these attractions, museums, playgrounds and more things to do in New York with kids.
American Museum of Natural History
In this museum that draws visitors from all over the world, museum-goers could wonder at the displays all day long, from learning about species in the Hall of Biodiversity, to walking under the giant whale in the Hall of Ocean Life. The museum has sleepover offerings for kids interested in sleeping under the giant whale.
Governors Island
This former military base of brick buildings and lawns feels like a New England college transported to an island. Jump into a boat and you’ll be transported to a park-like background with winding paths and play zones and lots of local food.

Central Park
Central Park’s unique history, accessibility and design make it New York City’s most famous park. As the first public park built in the US, it sees about 25 million visitors per year and contains 36 bridges and arches. Perhaps most important to families, the park contains 21 playgrounds, and the Central Park Zoo.
New Victory Theater
The moment the curtain rises in this theater, kids sense something truly amazing—the New Vic brings Broadway-quality productions(演出) to a young crowd.

This year I did something I’d never done—shopping at midnight on Black Friday after Thanksgiving. After all, you can get great deals online from the comfort of your bed over a hot cup of coffee. So why would I stand traffic, cold weather and crowds for a few bargains
For my teenagers, spending time with Mom is usually down on their list next to homework and picking up the dog waste. So, when they asked me to take them shopping at the mall at midnight on Black Friday, my first reaction was definitely no! But my son, who usually runs the other way if I mention shopping, wanted me to take him shopping. I felt needed, though I knew it was my wallet and a ride, not quality (高质量的) time with Mom that they wanted.
Then the hour-long car ride. We followed songs on the radio and talked about the deals we hoped to get. I had opportunities to give them lessons on what not to do when driving, but I had to keep the peace. And we all connected as we sat with crazed smiles at midnight.
The kids scanned for a spot once we finally reached the busy parking lot. There was something about standing in a line that snakes around the building in the freezing cold that brings people together. Once inside, we had to work as a team, hoping to come together with just the right size and color. As I dug through mountain s of clothing for a particular shirt for my husband and gave up, my daughter came toward me, shirt in hand and victory on her face. “I got the last one!”
So we ended up at 3 am with some bargains. Nothing we couldn’t have found online or in stores at a reasonable hour. But for me, I got quality time with my kids. Driving home tired, looking in the mirror at my children’s sweet faces, I decided, “If they ask me to go again next year, I’m in.”
4. What did the kids need according to the author
A. Buying things online with comfort. B. Taking a cup of coffee comfortably.
C. Shopping at their mother’s expense. D. Spending quality time with the family.
5. How did the author communicate with her kids during the drive to the mall
A. She shared their excitement. B. She taught them some songs.
C. She taught them shopping tips. D. She lectured them on behavior.
6. Why did the daughter show victory on her face
A. She had worked as a team member. B. She had searched out her clothes.
C. She had been in line to see a snake. D. She had found a shirt for her father.
7. How did the author find her shopping experience
A. Tiring. B. Enjoyable. C. Heart-broken. D. Money-wasting.
C
Fishing trips to Canada are a tradition for Jeffrey Hardy and his three friends from America. This summer in 2023 the forest air polluted with wildfire smoke forced the men to give up their mid-June fishing plan. Canada’s wildfire season put its tourism industry at a crucial time.
Except some days of poor air quality, major Canadian cities remain unaffected by wildfires. The fires are in the country’s northern areas that have drawn travelers interested in outdoor experiences in years past.
In a recent report by Destination Canada, a marketing organization, half of the total spent by international visitors is in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. But other Canadian destinations attractive to visitors have been affected by the wildfires.
In preparation for increasing visitor sizes and ongoing wildfires, some businesses are thinking about changing their operations, which see outdoor recreation(娱乐) as a tourism opportunity. A nonprofit travel agency is considering creating a questionnaire (调查问卷) for customers to show when they would cancel a booking because of road closes from the wildfires, poor air quality and a lack of visibility.
Tourism in British Columbia contributes (贡献) greatly to its economy. The province has various recreational offerings, from the major ski destinations to hiking along the coast. Blackcomb, a helicopter tour company, has canceled its sightseeing offerings, using most of its helicopters on the firefighting effort until at least early August.“ It’s the question of flying our customers around on sightseeing tours or putting out fires within 10 kilometers of our bases and the communities that we live in,” said Jordy Norris, the company’s tourism director. “We made it clear to both our staff and our customers that we have a duty to protect the backyard.”
Darrin Rigo, a photographer, recently saw a photo of a beautiful waterfall engulfed in fire on a media page. “I’m sure that’s not going to last long, and everything will turn to normal.” he said.
8. Which part of Canada is most affected by the wildfire
A. The northern areas. B. Canada’s central part.
C. Major Canadian cities. D. Places with few visitors.
9. What can be inferred about Jordy Norris
A. He is sad about his company’s loss from the fire.
B. He is glad to join in the fight against the wildfire.
C. He is confident about the use of the questionnaire.
D. He is stressed about the fire’s effect on his company.
10. What does the underlined word “engulfed” in paragraph 6 mean
A. Rescued. B. Stuck. C. Covered. D. Protected.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Tourism Suffers Great Loss in the Wildfire
B. All of Canada Have Acted to Beat Wildfire
C. Most of Canada Is Affected by the Wildfire
D. Wildfire Won’t Stop Canada’s Tourism Development
D
For those who believe that remote (远程的) work is more productive than in the office, research shows that offices remain important. A paper found a 4% drop in the number of calls handled per hour by employees of an online business that had changed from offices to homes. Not only did employees answer fewer calls when remote, the quality of their interactions suffered. They put customers on hold for longer. More also phoned back, an indication of unsolved problems.
Those working at home were 18% less productive than their peers in the office. Another study determined that even chess professionals play less well in online matches than face-to-face. Yet another used a laboratory experiment to show that video conferences affect creative thinking.
The reasons for the findings won’t surprise anyone who has worked from a dining-room table. It is harder for people to collaborate from home. Workers spoke of missing their “neighbours” to turn to for assistance. Some of the co-ordination (协调) costs of remote work might reasonably be expected to fall as people get used to it. But another cost may rise over time: the underdevelopment of human capital. In a study of software engineers, researchers found that feedback exchanged between colleagues dropped sharply after the move to remote work. There is more to work than productivity. Perhaps the greatest virtue of remote work is that it leads to happier employees. People can more easily fit in school pickups and doctor appointments, not to mention the occasional lie-in or mid-morning jog. And some tasks can often be done more smoothly from home than in open offices, especially those requiring unbroken concentration for long periods. All this explains why so many workers have become so office-shy.
Indeed, several surveys have found employees are willing to accept pay cuts for the option of working from home. Having satisfied employees on slightly lower pay might be a good deal for corporate managers. Nevertheless, the balance of the work week is likely to be back to the office, because better productivity lies in that direction.
12. What did a paper find about the online business
A. Employees are kept at work longer. B. Employees have quality interactions.
C. Work productivity doesn’t improve. D. Most hard problems are solved.
13. What did some remote workers miss about office work
A. They can ask colleagues for help. B. They can discuss things at dinner.
C. They have no co-ordination cost. D. They have high spirits in the office.
14. What do we learn about remote work from the last paragraph
A. It helps workers to fit in with society.
B. It represents the workplace situation.
C. It results in employees’ better productivity.
D. It may come with pay cuts for employees.
15. In which part of a newspaper can the text most likely be found
A. Technology. B. Life. C. Education. D. Environment.

47. 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。
My family always had the basics, but there was little money for much else beyond food and shelter. Everyone in our small town lived the same way. That is why I was pleasantly surprised when my mother came up with the money to ask someone to take a picture for my fourth-grade class. Twenty-two students lined up in three rows and faced the camera with smiles. My teacher Mrs. Cornell stood to the side.
Schoolwork was never a burden for me. Even when I was sick, I still wanted to go to school. As the years passed, I would see that fourth-grade picture from time to time. It always reminded me that I had wanted to become a teacher. Later, I got married and my focus was on building a family. Every so often I would feel that longing for the teaching career I never got to have.
Once my children were in school, I had some time to myself. The thirst to teach was still there. It would mean going back to college. But I was now forty-two years old. I had not been a student for over twenty years. Were there any brain cells left after raising three children Having only my husband’s income made money a problem as well.
After much mental struggle I managed to come up with enough money for my first semester, a total of nine hours, but I had no idea how I would pay for anything beyond that. With a step of faith, I moved forward. Standing in line with baby-faced teenagers to register for classes, I questioned my ability to do it all. But here I was, deciding on British Literature as my major.

This year I did something I’d never done—shopping at midnight on Black Friday after Thanksgiving. After all, you can get great deals online from the comfort of your bed over a hot cup of coffee. So why would I stand traffic, cold weather and crowds for a few bargains
For my teenagers, spending time with Mom is usually down on their list next to homework and picking up the dog waste. So, when they asked me to take them shopping at the mall at midnight on Black Friday, my first reaction was definitely no! But my son, who usually runs the other way if I mention shopping, wanted me to take him shopping. I felt needed, though I knew it was my wallet and a ride, not quality (高质量的) time with Mom that they wanted.
Then the hour-long car ride. We followed songs on the radio and talked about the deals we hoped to get. I had opportunities to give them lessons on what not to do when driving, but I had to keep the peace. And we all connected as we sat with crazed smiles at midnight.
The kids scanned for a spot once we finally reached the busy parking lot. There was something about standing in a line that snakes around the building in the freezing cold that brings people together. Once inside, we had to work as a team, hoping to come together with just the right size and color. As I dug through mountain s of clothing for a particular shirt for my husband and gave up, my daughter came toward me, shirt in hand and victory on her face. “I got the last one!”
So we ended up at 3 am with some bargains. Nothing we couldn’t have found online or in stores at a reasonable hour. But for me, I got quality time with my kids. Driving home tired, looking in the mirror at my children’s sweet faces, I decided, “If they ask me to go again next year, I’m in.”
4. What did the kids need according to the author
A Buying things online with comfort. B. Taking a cup of coffee comfortably.
C. Shopping at their mother’s expense. D. Spending quality time with the family.
5. How did the author communicate with her kids during the drive to the mall

7. How did the author find her shopping experience

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句到最后一句话“So, when they asked me to take them shopping at the mall at midnight on Black Friday, my first reaction was definitely no! But my son, who usually runs the other way if I mention shopping, wanted me to take him shopping. I felt needed, though I knew it was my wallet and a ride, not quality (高质量的) time with Mom that they wanted.(所以，当他们让我在黑色星期五午夜带他们去商场购物时，我的第一反应绝对是否定的！但我儿子，如果我提到购物，他通常会跑另一条路，他想让我带他去购物。我觉得自己被需要了，尽管我知道这是我的钱包和一辆车，而不是他们想要的和妈妈在一起的美好时光)”可知，孩子们想让作者陪他们在感恩节之后的“黑色星期五”去购物，是因为他们需要作者为他们买单。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Then the hour-long car ride. We followed songs on the radio and talked about the deals we hoped to get. I had opportunities to give them lessons on what not to do when driving, but I had to keep the peace. And we all connected as we sat with crazed smiles at midnight.(然后是一个小时的车程。我们跟着收音机里的歌曲，谈论着我们希望买什么。我有机会教他们开车时不要做什么，但我必须保持平静。午夜时分，当我们坐在那里疯狂地微笑时，我们都联系在了一起)”可知，孩子们一路上听歌和聊天，作者原本可以教育孩子们在开车时不能做什么事，但是那时作者只想与孩子们分享半夜时分购物的狂热心情。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段最后两句话“As I dug through mountain s of clothing for a particular shirt for my husband and gave up, my daughter came toward me, shirt in hand and victory on her face. “I got the last one!”(当我在堆积如山的衣服中为丈夫挖了一件特别的衬衫并放弃时，我的女儿向我走来，手里拿着衬衫，脸上洋溢着胜利。“我得到了最后一个！”)”可知，作者想为丈夫找一件衬衣但是没找到，就在这时，作者的女儿带着胜利的微笑拿着一件衬衣来到作者面前，说她抢到了最后一件。由此可推知，女儿脸上露出胜利的表情是因为她为她父亲找到了一件合适的衬衫。故选D。

Fishing trips to Canada are a tradition for Jeffrey Hardy and his three friends from America. This summer in 2023, the forest air polluted with wildfire smoke forced the men to give up their mid-June fishing plan. Canada’s wildfire season put its tourism industry at a crucial time.
Except some days of poor air quality, major Canadian cities remain unaffected by wildfires. The fires are in the country’s northern areas that have drawn travelers interested in outdoor experiences in years past.
In a recent report by Destination Canada, a marketing organization, half of the total spent by international visitors is in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. But other Canadian destinations attractive to visitors have been affected by the wildfires.
In preparation for increasing visitor sizes and ongoing wildfires, some businesses are thinking about changing their operations, which see outdoor recreation(娱乐) as a tourism opportunity. A nonprofit travel agency is considering creating a questionnaire (调查问卷) for customers to show when they would cancel a booking because of road closes from the wildfires, poor air quality and a lack of visibility.
Tourism in British Columbia contributes (贡献) greatly to its economy. The province has various recreational offerings, from the major ski destinations to hiking along the coast. Blackcomb, a helicopter tour company, has canceled its sightseeing offerings, using most of its helicopters on the firefighting effort until at least early August.“ It’s the question of flying our customers around on sightseeing tours or putting out fires within 10 kilometers of our bases and the communities that we live in,” said Jordy Norris, the company’s tourism director. “We made it clear to both our staff and our customers that we have a duty to protect the backyard.”
Darrin Rigo, a photographer, recently saw a photo of a beautiful waterfall engulfed in fire on a media page. “I’m sure that’s not going to last long, and everything will turn to normal.” he said.
8. Which part of Canada is most affected by the wildfire
A. The northern areas. B. Canada’s central part.
C. Major Canadian cities. D. Places with few visitors.
9. What can be inferred about Jordy Norris
A. He is sad about his company’s loss from the fire.
B. He is glad to join in the fight against the wildfire.
C. He is confident about the use of the questionnaire.
D. He is stressed about the fire’s effect on his company.
10. What does the underlined word “engulfed” in paragraph 6 mean
A. Rescued. B. Stuck. C. Covered. D. Protected.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Tourism Suffers Great Loss in the Wildfire
B. All of Canada Have Acted to Beat Wildfire
C. Most of Canada Is Affected by the Wildfire
D. Wildfire Won’t Stop Canada’s Tourism Development
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。加拿大的山林大火使旅游业受到很大的影响，但是人们依然对加拿大旅游业的发展充满信心。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The fires are in the country’s northern areas that have drawn travelers interested in outdoor experiences in years past.（大火发生在该国北部地区，过去几年吸引了对户外体验感兴趣的旅行者）”可知火山主要影响的是加拿大北部。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段Jordy Norris所说的话“We made it clear to both our staff and our customers that we have a duty to protect the backyard.（我们向员工和顾客明确指出，我们有责任保护后院）”可以判断他为自己的公司能够参加灭火行动感到高兴。故选B。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段“I’m sure that’s not going to last long, and everything will turn to normal.(我确信这不会持续太久，一切都会恢复正常的)”可以判断摄影师比较乐观，他所看到的是瀑布被大火吞噬的照片。故engulf可以用cover替代。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“Canada’s wildfire season put its tourism industry at a crucial time.（加拿大的野火季节让其旅游业处于关键时刻）”以及最后一段“I’m sure that’s not going to last long, and everything will turn to normal.(我确信这不会持续太久，一切都会恢复正常的)”可知全文讲述一场山火对加拿大旅游业的影响，谈到这场火灾的分布及其对旅游业的影响，以及旅游业的从业人员对未来旅游业发展的乐观态度。所以，用D项“Wildfire Won’t Stop Canada’s Tourism Development”作为本文题目，与文章主题相符合。故选D。
D
For those who believe that remote (远程的) work is more productive than in the office, research shows that offices remain important. A paper found a 4% drop in the number of calls handled per hour by employees of an online business that had changed from offices to homes. Not only did employees answer fewer calls when remote, the quality of their interactions suffered. They put customers on hold for longer. More also phoned back, an indication of unsolved problems.
Those working at home were 18% less productive than their peers in the office. Another study determined that even chess professionals play less well in online matches than face-to-face. Yet another used a laboratory experiment to show that video conferences affect creative thinking.
The reasons for the findings won’t surprise anyone who has worked from a dining-room table. It is harder for people to collaborate from home. Workers spoke of missing their “neighbours” to turn to for assistance. Some of the co-ordination (协调) costs of remote work might reasonably be expected to fall as people get used to it. But another cost may rise over time: the underdevelopment of human capital. In a study of software engineers, researchers found that feedback exchanged between colleagues dropped sharply after the move to remote work. There is more to work than productivity. Perhaps the greatest virtue of remote work is that it leads to happier employees. People can more easily fit in school pickups and doctor appointments, not to mention the occasional lie-in or mid-morning jog. And some tasks can often be done more smoothly from home than in open offices, especially those requiring unbroken concentration for long periods. All this explains why so many workers have become so office-shy.
Indeed, several surveys have found employees are willing to accept pay cuts for the option of working from home. Having satisfied employees on slightly lower pay might be a good deal for corporate managers. Nevertheless, the balance of the work week is likely to be back to the office, because better productivity lies in that direction.
12. What did a paper find about the online business
A. Employees are kept at work longer. B. Employees have quality interactions.
C. Work productivity doesn’t improve. D. Most hard problems are solved.
13. What did some remote workers miss about office work
A. They can ask colleagues for help. B. They can discuss things at dinner.
C. They have no co-ordination cost. D. They have high spirits in the office.
14 What do we learn about remote work from the last paragraph
A. It helps workers to fit in with society.
B. It represents the workplace situation.
C. It results in employees’ better productivity.
D. It may come with pay cuts for employees.
15. In which part of a newspaper can the text most likely be found
A. Technology. B. Life. C. Education. D. Environment.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍居家办公的利弊，并说明未来职场发展的方向还是在办公室办公。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“For those who believe that remote work is more productive than in the office, research shows that offices remain important. A paper found a 4% drop in the number of calls handled per hour by employees of an online business that had changed from offices to homes. Not only did employees answer fewer calls when remote, the quality of their interactions suffered.They put customers on hold for longer. More also phoned back, an indication of unsolved problems.(对于那些认为远程工作比在办公室更有效率的人来说，研究表明办公室仍然很重要。一篇论文发现，从办公室变为家庭的在线企业的员工每小时处理的电话数量下降了4%。远程工作时，员工不仅接听的电话更少，互动质量也受到影响。他们让客户等待的时间更长。更多的人也回了电话，这表明问题尚未解决。)”可知，网络公司实行远程办公后，出现了职员每小时处理的电话数量下降、与顾客的沟通质量及效率下滑、顾客等待的时间延长等问题，这表明远程办公时员工的工作效率比在办公室工作更低，没有得到提高，故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“The reasons for the findings won’t surprise anyone who has worked from a dining-room table. It is harder for people to collaborate from home. Workers spoke of missing their “neighbours” to turn to for assistance.(这一发现的原因不会让任何在餐厅餐桌上工作过的人感到惊讶。人们更难在家合作。员工们说他们想念他们的“邻居”以寻求帮助。)”可知，居家办公的员工说他们很想念办公室里可以求助的“邻居”，由此判断他们想念的是在办公室工作时同事能帮助他们，故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Indeed, several surveys have found employees are willing to accept pay cuts for the option of working from home. Having satisfied employees on slightly lower pay might be a good deal for corporate managers. Nevertheless, the balance of the work week is likely to be back to the office, because better productivity lies in that direction.(事实上，几项调查发现，员工愿意接受在家工作的减薪选择。对于公司管理者来说，以略低的工资让员工满意可能是一笔不错的交易。尽管如此，工作周的平衡很可能还是会回到办公室，因为更高的工作效率就在这个方向上。)”可知，居家办公时员工即使少拿工资也高兴，因此居家办公意味着降薪，故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，根据最后一段的“Indeed, several surveys have found employees are willing to accept pay cuts for the option of working from home. Having satisfied employees on slightly lower pay might be a good deal for corporate managers. Nevertheless, the balance of the work week is likely to be back to the office, because better productivity lies in that direction.(事实上，几项调查发现，员工愿意接受在家工作的减薪选择。对于公司管理者来说，以略低的工资让员工满意可能是一笔不错的交易。尽管如此，工作周的平衡很可能还是会回到办公室，因为更高的工作效率就在这个方向上。)”可知，居家办公时员工即使少拿工资也高兴，老板也很开心，但是工作效率低下，可知，本文探讨的是居家办公的利弊，它应该出自报刊的“生活”栏目，故选 B。

47. 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。
My family always had the basics, but there was little money for much else beyond food and shelter. Everyone in our small town lived the same way. That is why I was pleasantly surprised when my mother came up with the money to ask someone to take a picture for my fourth-grade class. Twenty-two students lined up in three rows and faced the camera with smiles. My teacher Mrs. Cornell stood to the side.
Schoolwork was never a burden for me. Even when I was sick, I still wanted to go to school. As the years passed, I would see that fourth-grade picture from time to time. It always reminded me that I had wanted to become a teacher. Later, I got married and my focus was on building a family. Every so often I would feel that longing for the teaching career I never got to have.
Once my children were in school, I had some time to myself. The thirst to teach was still there. It would mean going back to college. But I was now forty-two years old. I had not been a student for over twenty years. Were there any brain cells left after raising three children Having only my husband’s income made money a problem as well.
After much mental struggle I managed to come up with enough money for my first semester, a total of nine hours, but I had no idea how I would pay for anything beyond that. With a step of faith, I moved forward. Standing in line with baby-faced teenagers to register for classes, I questioned my ability to do it all. But here I was, deciding on British Literature as my major.

College proved to be a pleasure but a challenge.

One day two years later, my professor called to tell me that I was given a teaching job in the local primary school.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
College proved to be a pleasure but a challenge. I was back in school, attending classes and challenging myself to learn new things. My days and nights were spent reading and rereading difficult textbooks and studying essays on classic English literature. And I buried myself in the sea of readings that my professor had assigned. I watched as kids half my age got excellent test grades while I studied for hours to make a passing grade. Gradually, I found myself starting to relax and enjoy the classes, and began to stand out.
One day two years later, my professor called to tell me that I was given a teaching job in the local primary school. I hung up the phone with teary eyes. I couldn’t believe that my dream to teach was becoming a reality. My faith had been rewarded. For the next eighteen years, I worked diligently. I began each school year by telling the students about myself. I told them the story of how I had wanted to be a teacher all my life; it just took me a while to get there. It’s my desire that my students will realize their dream with my teaching and guidance.
