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 display s 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.

In a recent heartwarming story, Mr. Sun has touched the hearts of many by using AI face-swapping technology to create a video message from his late father.
The touching video captures Sun’s emotions as he replicates his father’s appearance and voice to convey a message of well-being to his grandmother. The entire process of face-swapping and video creation took a lot of effort and lasted nearly half a month, during which Sun couldn’t help but shed tears as he missed his deceased father.
In 2022, Sun’s father was diagnosed with a rare condition known as appendiceal mucinous adenocarcinoma（阑尾黏液腺癌）. Despite Sun’s efforts to seek medical treatment for his father, the disease progressed rapidly, and his father passed away in 2023．
Concerned about his grandmother’s fragile health, the family decided to keep Sun’s father’s passing a secret. They fabricated（编造）a story, telling the elderly woman that her son was still receiving treatment in a Beijing hospital. The prolonged separation depressed the grandmother a lot, who continuously expressed her longing to speak with her son.
In a creative attempt to comfort his grandmother, Sun, inspired by science fiction films, decided to use AI face-swapping technology to create a video message from his father. Prior to recording the video, he even shaved off his bear d to look more like his late father. By using AI software, he successfully transformed his appearance into that of his father, delivering a heartfelt message to his grandmother: “Mom, it’s Jihai. I’m doing well in Beijing.” Despite the relatively low pixel（像素）quality, the grandmother believed the well-intentioned fabrication.
Sun admit ted that his emotions almost broke down within the half-month, as every mention of his father’s name or a glance of his photograph brought great sorrow. He also expressed uncertainty about how long he can keep up the fabrication and whether he will make use of face-swapping again. Nevertheless, he is determined to follow in his father’s footstep to be a strong support for his family.
24．What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 mean
A．Copies. B．Paints. C．Recalls. D．Preserves.
25．How did Sun comfort his grandmother

B．By making up to look like his father.
C．By showing his father’s previous photographs and voice to her.
D．By telling a white lie and giving his father an online rebirth.
26．Which is NOT true about Sun’s use of AI face-swapping technology
A．It was a laborious process.
B．Sun will employ face-swapping again.
C．Sun got inspiration from science-fiction films.
D．The images this technology made were unclear.
27．Which words can best describe Sun according to the passage
A．Creative and honest. B．Optimistic and generous.
C．Considerate and responsible. D．Talented and courageous.
C
Fish genetically engineered to glow（发光）blue, green, or red under blacklight have been a big hit among aquarium（水族馆）lovers for years. But the pet is not restricted to glass displays anymore. The glowing fish have escaped fish farms in southeastern Brazil and are multiplying in the streams in the Atlantic Forest, a new study shows.
The unwelcome invaders（入侵者）are well-known to scientists who have used zebrafish for developmental and genetic studies. Native to Southeast Asia, the freshwater fish were engineered to glow for research purposes in the late 1990s by putting in them genes from jellyfish and coral. In the 2000s, companies saw the potential of the glowing fish as pets.
André Magalh es, a biologist at the Federal University, first spotted the engineered zebrafish swimming in the River Basin in 2015．The waters border the largest decorative fish farms of Latin America, and Magalh es says the fish probably escaped some of the farms’ ponds.
The Brazilian waters don’t have any local predators（捕食者）for zebrafish and the fish are reproducing all year round, with a peak during the rainy season. But the transgenic fish seem to achieve sexual maturity earlier than their ancestors, which allows them to reproduce more and spread faster. The invaders are also eating well: a diversified diet of native insects and algae. Before long, Magalh es says, the fish could become plentiful enough to directly affect local: species by competing for food or preying on them.
Tuckett, a researcher in Florida, says the Brazilian detection “should be a wake-up call” for fish producers and natural resource managers in Brazil. But he suspects the transgenic fish will encounter predators as they move to larger bodies of water. And the animals’ bright colors will make them disadvantaged.
For now, the glowing fish “could be considered little weeds growing up out of the concrete”. Tuckett says. Magalh es likes the metaphor, but points out that even little weeds can grow to cause a lot of damage.
28．What can we know about the glowing fish
A．They were released into the ocean.
B．They carry genes from other species.
C．They don’t enjoy popularity any more.
D．They were first created for commercial use.
29．Why do the glowing fish multiply rapidly
A．There are few species feeding on them.
B．They mature as early as their ancestors.
C．They prefer to reproduce in the rainy season.
D．No other species compete with them for food.
30．What might Tuckett agree with about the escaped glowing fish
A．They will grow in large numbers.
B．They will pose a great threat to nature.
C．They will be easy targets for predators.
D．They will ease the worry of fish producers.
31．Which of the following can be the best title for this text
A．Transgenic Fish Invades Brazilian Streams
B．Escaped Species Are Unwelcome in Nature
C．Genetically Engineered Fish Are in Demand
D．Zebrafish Travels Far to Colonize Other Waters
D
Since the 1950s, some 9.2 billion tonnes of plastic have been produced globally, of which only about 10% has ever been recycled. Yet environmentally conscious companies and consumers continue to look to recycling as a way to ease the plastic problem. Manufacturing giant s claim to be committed to making more of their products and packaging from recycled materials. However, this confidence masks（掩饰）a complex web of issues around plastic recycling. Recycling rates remain extremely low and critics argue that we should look at alternative ways to tackle plastic pollution.
While many plastics have the potential to be recycled, most are not because the process is costly, complicated and the resulting product of a lower quality than the original. Despite rising demand for recycled plastic, few waste companies turn a profit. Part of this is because virgin plastic-linked to oil prices -is often cheaper than recycled plastic, meaning there is little economic motive to use it. Worse yet, much of our plastic waste is difficult to recycle. Lightweight food packaging, like a mozzarella packet, contains different plastics, dyes and toxic additives（添加剂）. This dirty mix means plastic recycled through mechanical methods---the most common form---can only be melted down and moulded（浇铸）again a couple of times before it becomes too fragile to be reused. And the nature of the process means plastic recycling has a carbon footprint of its own.
Given all of these difficulties, environmental critics say recycling is not the solution-and argue that creating more products from recycled material to attract environmental consciousness merely worsens the problem. “The solution is to use less plastic and to stop misleading the public about the recyclability,” says Enck, president of Beyond Plastics, a US campaign group with a mission to end single-use plastic. “They should stop making false claims about the recyclability of plastics since they know most will either be littered or burned or landfilled（填埋）. Using less plastics means shifting to reusable products and relying more on paper, cardboard, glass and metal--all of which should be made from recycled content.”
32．Which of the following statements would environmentally conscious companies support
A．Recycling can’t solve the plastic problem.
B．Creating more products from recycled material can help ease plastic pollution.
C．The solution to plastic pollution is to use less plastic.
D．People should give up recycling because the recycling rates remain extremely low.
33．What is Paragraph 2mainly about
A．The recycling process of plastics.
B．Pollutants contained in recycled plastics.
C．Reasons why users dislike recycled plastics.
D．Contributing factors to low plastic recycling rates.
34．What is Enck’s attitude towards recycling plastics
A．Disapproving B．Unclear C．Neutral D．Indifferent
35．What will the environmental critics be happy to see according to the text
A．Using metal or glass food containers. B．Littering recycled plastics in a landfill.
C．Processing plastics in a mechanical way. D．Launching campaigns to promote recyclability.

Ways to Develop Self-discipline
Five years ago, I was the heaviest I’ve weighed in my life. When I would run, I’d immediately get tired. The worst part is that I had no motivation to get healthier—until I threw my back out. 36 When I went to physical therapy（治疗）, the young woman helping me pointed to my stomach and said, “we need to awaken these muscles.” From that point on, I knew I had to change. I had to think about how to develop self-discipline with eating and working out.
37 But I eventually lost 30 pounds and have maintained a consistent workout schedule for the past five years. Of course, self-discipline is bigger than just physical health. Having discipline helps us grow, makes us reliable, and strengthens our moral framework. Here’s how to develop self-discipline.
Set clear end goals. 38 If we don’t set clear goals, we’ll float around like feathers in the breeze. If you want to be disciplined, set clear and measurable goals. Then display those goals where you’ll see them every day.
Do the small things. We all want big change quickly. It doesn’t happen that way, though. Self-discipline starts by performing small activities consistently. The small things add up to big results. 39 Every small act of faithfulness makes your self-discipline stronger.
Keep record of your progress. It’s pointless to have goals if you aren’t measuring whether or not you are moving toward them. When I don’t track my progress, I stop doing things I need to do and become lazy. It’s easy to lack discipline when you lose focus on where you’re going. 40
A．It did take a lot of work.
B．I decided to take regular exercise.
C．Keeping track helps you stay on point.
D．We have to keep in mind where we want to go.
E．Occasionally, you may get results without effort.
F．I had shooting pains down my legs whenever I got up.
G．It may take time to see those returns, but stick with it.

Ali and his younger sister, Zahra, lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks.
One day, Ali took Zahra’s shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali’s running shoes. Zahra’s school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.
Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city. When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes. The day of race arrived. Ali had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided（碰撞）with Ali from behind and he crashed to the ground.

B篇【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了一个感人的故事，主人公孙先生利用AI换脸技术制作了一段来自他已故父亲的视频信息，以此来安慰他的祖母。
24．A 词句猜测题。根据第二段画线词后文“The entire process of face-swapping and video creation took a lot of effort and lasted nearly half a month, during which Sun couldn’t help but shed tears as he missed his deceased father.（整个换脸和视频创作过程非常耗时，历时近半个月，期间孙先生在怀念已逝父亲时不禁潸然泪下）”可知，画线词指通过技术手段复制或替换面部特征，故划线词与copies意思相近。故选A。
25．D细节理解题。根据第四段“Concerned about his grandmother’s fragile health, the family decided to keep Sun’s father’s passing a secret. They fabricated a story, telling the elderly woman that her son was still receiving treatment in a Beijing hospital.（出于对祖母脆弱健康的担忧，家人决定对孙先生父亲去世的消息保密。他们编造了一个故事,告诉老人她的儿子仍在北京的医院接受治疗）”及第五段“In a creative attempt to comfort hisgrandmother, Sun, inspired by science fiction films, decided to use AI face-swapping technology to create a video message from his father.（为了创造性地安慰祖母，孙先生受到科幻电影的启发，决定利用人工智能换脸技术制作一段来自父亲的视频信息）”可知，孙先生通过编造一个善意的谎言，同时利用AI技术让父亲以视频信息的形式“重生”，以此方式来安慰祖母。故选D。
26．B 推理判断题。根据最后一段“He also expressed uncertainty about how long he can keep up the fabrication and whether he will make use of face-swapping again.（他还表示不确定能维持这个谎言多久, 以及是否还会再次使用换脸技术）”可知，孙先生对于是否会再次使用换脸技术是不确定的。故选 B。
27．C 推理判断题。根据第五段“In a creative attempt to comfort his grandmother, Sun, inspired by science fiction films, decided to use AI face-swapping technology to create a video message from his father.（为了创造性地安慰祖母，孙先生受到科幻电影的启发，决定利用人工智能换脸技术制作一段来自父亲的视频信息）”可知，孙先生考虑到祖母的健康而采取了这一系列行动，显示了他的体贴，根据最后一段“Nevertheless，he is determined to follow in his father’s footstep to be a strong support for his family.（然而,他决心追随父亲的脚步，成为家庭坚强的支柱）”可知，他是有责任感的。故选C。
C篇 【导语】本文为一篇新闻报道。文章报道了一种会发光的转基因鱼逃离了巴西东南部的养鱼场，入侵大西洋森林的溪流并大量繁殖，预计会对这片水域中的生态造成破坏。
28．B 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Native to Southeast Asia, the freshwater fish were engineered to glow for research purposes in the late 1990s by putting in them genes from jelly fish and coral.（这种淡水鱼原产于东南亚，上世纪90年代末，为了研究目的，人们将水母和珊瑚的基因植入它们体内，从而使它们发光）”可知，这种会发光的鱼是因为体内携带了其他物种的基因。故选B项。
29．A细节理解题。根据第四段“The Brazilian waters don’t have any local predators（捕食者）for zebrafish and the fish are reproducing all year round, with a peak during the rainy season. But the transgenic fish seem to achieve sexual maturity earlier than their ancestors, which allows them to reproduce more and spread faster.（巴西水域没有任何当地的斑马鱼捕食者，斑马鱼全年都在繁殖，在雨季达到高峰。但转基因鱼似乎比它们的祖先更早达到性成熟，这使它们能够繁殖更多、分散更快）”可知，这些发光鱼能繁殖迅速是因为在巴西水域中没有他们的天敌对它们的制衡，即很少有物种以它们为食。故选A项。
30．C 推理判断题。根据第五段“But he suspects the transgenic fish will encounter predators as they move to larger bodies of water. And the animals’ bright colors will make them disadvantaged.（但他怀疑转基因鱼在移动到更大的水体时，会遇到捕食者。而动物鲜艳的颜色会使它们处于不利地位）”可推断，这些逃跑了的鱼会因为自身会发光而成为容易被攻击的目标。故选C项。
31．A 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其根据第一段最后一句“The glowing fish have escaped fish farms in southeastern Brazil and are multiplying in the streams in the Atlantic Forest, a new study shows.（一项新的研究显示，这种发光鱼逃离了巴西东南部的养鱼场，在大西洋森林的溪流中繁殖）”以及最后一段“For now，the glowing fish“could be considered little weeds growing up out of the concrete”. Tuckett says. Magalh es likes the metaphor, but points out that even little weeds can grow to cause a lot of damage.（就目前而言，这些发光的鱼“可以被视为从混凝土中生长出来的小杂草”。Tuckett说。Magalh es喜欢这个比喻，但指出即使是很小的杂草也会造成很大的破坏）”可知，文章介绍了因携带别的物种基因而会发光的外来的鱼逃离养鱼场进入了巴西的溪流,预计会对这些水域造成破坏。由此可知，A项“Transgenic Fish Invades Brazilian Streams（转基因鱼入侵巴西河流）”适合作本文最佳标题。故选A项。
D篇 本文是一篇说明文。公众期望用回收方式来解决塑料污染问题，但实际回收率很低。导致回收率低有很多因素——回收过程代价大，回收公司不能盈利、回收过程复杂且回收本身也有碳排放等。因此，批评人士认为，靠回收不能解决问题，而应该少用塑料制品或用可循环使用的物品替代。
32．B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Yet environmentally conscious companies and consumers continue to look to recycling as a way to ease the plastic problem.”和“Manufacturing giants claim to be committed to making more of their products and packaging from recycled materials.”可知，他们认为塑料回收能够缓解塑料问题.
33．D 主旨大意题。根据第二段“While many plastics have the potential to be recycled, most are not because the process is costly, complicated and the resulting product of a lower quality than the original. Despite rising demand for recycled plastic, few waste companies turn a profit. Part of this is because virgin plastic-linked to oil prices-is often cheaper than recycled plastic, meaning there is little economic motive to use it. Worse yet, much of our plastic waste is difficult to recycle. Lightweight food packaging, like a mozzarella packet, contains different plastics, dyes and toxic additives（添加剂）. This dirty mix means plastic recycled through mechanical methods-the most common form- can only be melted down and moulded（浇铸）again a couple of times before it becomes too fragile to be reused. And the nature of the process means plastic recycling has a carbon footprint of its own. （虽然许多塑料都有回收的潜力，但大多数塑料都没有被回收，因为这一过程成本高昂、复杂，而且最终产生的产品质量低于原来的产品。尽管对回收塑料的需求不断增加，但很少有废物公司盈利。部分原因是与油价相关的原始塑料通常比回收塑料便宜，这意味着使用它几乎没有经济动机。更糟糕的是，我们的许多塑料垃圾很难回收。像马苏里拉奶酪包一样，重量轻的食品包装含有不同的塑料、染料和有毒添加剂。这种肮脏的混合物意味着通过机械方法回收的塑料——最常见的形式——只能熔化并再次成型几次，然后变得太脆弱而无法重复使用。这一过程的性质意味着塑料回收本身就有碳足迹。）”可知，这一段主要介绍导致塑料回收率低的因素。故选D。
34．A 观点态度题。根据最后一段中的 environmental critics say recycling is not the solution and argue that creating more products from recycled material to attract environmental consciousness merely worsens the problem.“The solution is to use less plastic and to stop misleading the public about the recyclability,”says Enck, president of Beyond Plastics, a US campaign group with a mission to end single-use plastic.”可知，Enck认为回收不是解决问题的办法，解决塑料污染的办法是少用塑料制品，因此他对于塑料回收的态度是不支持的。
35．A 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The solution is to use less plastic and to stop misleading the public about the recyclability（解决方案是减少塑料的使用,并停止在可回收性方面误导公众）”和“Using less plastics means shifting to reusable products and relying more on paper, cardboard, glass and metal--all of which should be made from recycled content.（减少塑料的使用意味着转向可重复使用的产品，更多地依赖纸张、纸板、玻璃和金属——所有这些都应该由回收材料制成。）”可知，环境评论家认为，应该通过少用塑料制品或者可循环利用的物品来代替塑料制品来解决塑料污染问题。故选A。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分。）
七选五【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍作者自己的经历，说明了锻炼的重要性以及如何在锻炼方面做到更加自律。
36．上文“The worst part is that I had no motivation to get healthier—until I threw my back out.（最糟糕的是, 我没有动力让自己变得更健康——直到我扭伤了我的腰背。）”说明作者一直没有锻炼的动力，直到腰背部受伤；由下文“When I went to physical therapy（治疗）, the young woman helping me pointed to my stomach and said, ‘we need to awaken these muscles.’（当我去做物理治疗时，帮我的年轻女士指着我的肚子说：‘我们需要唤醒这些肌肉。’）”可知作者因为受伤去接受治疗；F选项“I had shooting pains down my legs whenever I got up.（每当我站起来，我的腿就会一阵剧痛。）”描述了作者身体受伤情况，承接上下文，符合语境。故选F。
37．由第一段段末“From that point on, I knew I had to change. I had to think about how to develop self-discipline with eating and working out.（从那时起,我知道我必须改变。我不得不思考如何在饮食和锻炼中培养自律。）”可知作者要改变自己，在饮食和锻炼方面保持自律；下文“But I eventually lost 30 pounds and have maintained a consistent workout schedule for the past five years.（但我最终减掉了30磅, 并在过去的五年里保持了稳定的锻炼计划。）”可知作者成功减肥，并一直坚持锻炼；A选项“It did take a lot of work.（那确实花了不少功夫。）”中的“It”指代上文“develop self-discipline with eating and working out”，此选项与下文表述内容“I eventually lost 30 pounds and have maintained a consistent workout schedule for the past five years”构成转折，符合语境。故选A。
38．由本段主旨句“Set clear end goals.（设定明确的最终目标。）”可知本段的建议是设立最终目标；D选项“We have to keep in mind where we want to go.（我们必须牢记我们要去哪里。）”符合本段主旨，选项中的“where we want to go”与上文中的“end goals”表述的内容一致。故选D。
39．上文“We all want big change quickly. It doesn’t happen that way, though. Self-discipline starts by performing small activities consistently. The small things add up to big results.（我们都希望迅速发生巨大变化。但事实并非如此。自律始于持之以恒地做一些小事情。小事积少成多。）”说明不可能很快发生巨大变化，必须要坚持，小事积少成多;下文“Every small act of faithfulness makes your self-discipline stronger.（每一个忠实的小行为都会使你的自律性更强。）”说明只要坚持下去就会看到成绩；G 选项“It may take time to see those returns, but stick with it.（看到这些回报可能需要时间,但要坚持下去。）”符合语境,选项中的“It may take time to see those returns”与上文中“We all want big change quickly. It doesn’t happen that way, though.”表述意义一致，选项中的“stick with it”与上文“performing small activities consistently”表述内容一致。故选G。
40．由本段主旨句“Keep record of your progress.（记录下你的进步。）”可知本段建议追踪、记录自己的进步；上文“It’s pointless to have goals if you aren’t measuring whether or not you are moving toward them. When I don’t track my progress, I stop doing things I need to do and become lazy. It’s easy to lack discipline when you lose focus on where you’re going.（如果你不衡量自己是否在朝着目标前进,那么设定目标是毫无意义的。当我不跟踪我的进步时，我就会停止做我需要做的事情，变得懒惰。当你对前进方向失去注意力时，你很容易缺乏自制力。）”阐述了不记录、跟踪所取得的进步的弊端；C选项“Keeping track helps you stay on point.（跟踪可以帮助你有的放矢。）”阐述了跟踪记录的重要性，符合语境。故选C。

42．A。根据“professional music teacher”可知，作者的父亲“专攻（specializing）”夏威夷吉他和西班牙吉他的教授工作。

45．D。像很多“家庭（families）”的做法。
46．A。即使（even if）“我”完全没有兴趣学习弹钢琴。

51．C。另一个“事实（truth）”是……（The other truth is that…）。
52．D。另一个事实是，当你“准备好（ready）”时，你就会做出自己的选择。
53．B。根据上文以及“This can be annoying to some people”可知，一些人“做决定（decide）”的时间会长一些，这可能会令人烦恼，但这就是生活。
54．A。等待别人做决定并不意味着什么也不干，相反，这意味着你“主动（offer）”去交换意见。
55．D。根据“You can influence”可知，无论你是否知道, 你说的话确实会产生“影响（effect）”。

第二节 读后续写（满分25分）
Ali looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead. Refusing to give up at this point, he jumped to his feet and ran as fast as he could. He dashed across the finish line and won the fourth prize. Thinking he would let her sister down, Ali couldn’t help sobbing. Just then he suddenly heard the announcement from the broadcast that he won the third prize as the runner who collided with Ali was disqualified for breaking the rule. Holding the shoes close to his chest during the award ceremony, Ali felt overjoyed and relieved as he eventually won the shoes for his sister.
Filled with delight. Ali walked home quickly. He could not wait to see his sister and share the thrilling news. On his arrival, Ali found Zahra was waiting outside. She was really nervous whether her brother had brought her what she was expecting “Zahra, see what I have got for you.” he took the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands. The instant Zahra saw the shoes, her face lit up. So thrilled was she that she threw herself at Ali. “Thank you! Ali.” Tears of joy welled up their eyes as the brother and sister hugged tightly together.

W: I moved to Ghana from England because my husband, Robin, took a new job there. Our house there was near the Volta River. With few people around our home, I turned to nature. I felt a sense of relief in this new place.（17）One day, I found a baby bird. His nest was blown from a tree. I placed him in a box with towels. For the next 84 days, wherever I went, it would fly around me. He liked to jump to my hand to rest. So sometimes, I at e and went to the toilet one-handed, as he was sleeping in my hand.（18）
It wasn’t strange to name a bird, but I never gave him a name. I knew the bird didn’t belong to me—I had to remind myself that he needed to return to the wild.（19）Almost three months later, the bird looked like an adult one. It was time for him to go. I flew back to England for Christmas and during that time my husband let the bird fly away.
Raising this bird encouraged me to do something big. Later, I joined a local conservation group and brought out a book about our story.（20）
