一、阅读理解
There are many national parks in the UK, and you may know Northumberland National Park, the North York Moors National Park and so on. But when you think of wildlife holidays in the UK, Scotland is probably the first destination that springs to mind, with quite a few breathtaking natural sites that offer a wonderful base to watch wildlife.
Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park
It is the first national park established in Scotland. The Loch Lomond at the center of the park is the largest body of fresh water in the UK. The largest land mammal (哺乳动物) in Britain, red deer can be found in the park. Keep an eye out as you pass through forests, woodlands and open hills.
The Isle of Staffa
The Isle of Staffa is famous for its dramatic rock formations, and for the cave known as “Fingal’s Cave”. Staffa provided inspiration for Felix Mendelssohn, a German musician. He visited in 1829 and, afterwards, composed his Hebrides Overture. The island is also famous for its adorable seabirds — puffins, which are known for their vibrant beaks (鸟喙).
The Cairngorms National Park
The Cairngorms National Park is in northeast Scotland. With an area of about 1,750 square miles, the park covers the Cairngorms range of mountains and surrounding hills, and is the largest national park in the UK and the second national park in Scotland. Over 25% of the UK’s endangered species make their home in the park’s ancient pine forests, among which you can find the red squirrel (松鼠) — the UK’s only native squirrel species.
1．Which of the following is connected with the creation of a piece of music
A．The North York Moors National Park.

C．To raise awareness of endangered wildlife in Scotland.
D．To compare some breathtaking destinations in Scotland.
【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了苏格兰三个可以观看野生动物的自然地。
1．细节理解题。根据The Isle of Staffa部分中“Staffa provided inspiration for Felix Mendelssohn, a German musician. He visited in 1829 and, afterwards, composed his Hebrides Overture.(斯塔法为德国音乐家门德尔松提供了灵感。他于1829年到访，之后创作了《赫布里底序曲》)”可知，斯塔法岛和一首音乐的创作有关。故选C。
2．细节理解题。根据The Cairngorms National Park中根据“Over 25% of the UK’s endangered species make their home in the park’s ancient pine forests(超过25%的英国濒危物种在公园的古松林中安家)”可知，各种各样的珍稀动物生活在这里。故选A。
3．推理判断题。根据第一段“But when you think of wildlife holidays in the UK, Scotland is probably the first destination that springs to mind, with quite a few breathtaking natural sites that offer a wonderful base to watch wildlife.(但是，当你想到英国的野生动物假期时，苏格兰可能是第一个出现在脑海中的目的地，那里有许多令人惊叹的自然景点，为观察野生动物提供了绝佳的基地)”可推知，本文的主要目的是介绍一些在苏格兰看野生动物的地方。故选B。
Baby sign language is a growing movement. Pointing to a colorful flower, Campbell lifts her baby’s soft hand, and rapidly moves it from one side of his nose to the other as she sniffs (嗅). “Flower!” she says loudly. Gregory smiles and looks carefully. It could be a year before Gregory, four months old, can speak, but now his mother hopes to communicate with her baby through sign language.
Like others around the world, Campbell is part of a growing movement of parents teaching hearing babies simple signs to communicate before they can talk. The baby sign language has been more popular in recent years. The movie, Meet the Fockers, where the main character teaches his young grandson to sign, makes it well developed.
Babies generally begin to talk between 12 and 15 months, but babies can use sign language to communicate before they learn how to speak. “We know they are learning language faster than they are able to show you with their speech production because that system takes a long time to develop,” says McRoberts, director of developmental research at the Haskins Laboratories.
“They are understanding words before they are able to say them. From around 16 to 18 months, they might say 50 words but understand 200. They understand short sentences well,” says McRoberts.
Studies have shown deaf children learn to use sign language earlier than hearing children learn to speak meaningfully. As to whether hearing babies can communicate earlier with sign language, McRoberts says, “I think that’s still unknown. It may not. I’m very interested in that very question.”
4．The first paragraph is written to _________.
A．show Gregory can use baby sign language B．introduce the topic — baby sign language
C．show how Campbell taught her son “flower” D．explain that baby sign language is easy to learn
5．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to
A．How to teach a grandson. B．Making baby sign language meaningful.
C．The movement of teaching babies sign language. D．The movie Meet the Fockers.
6．Many parents teach their babies sign language mainly to _________.
A．communicate with their babies B．make their babies learn English fast
C．make their babies clever D．make their babies interested in language
7．Which of the following does McRoberts agree with
A．Babies learn to talk quickly.
B．Babies can understand more words than they can say.
C．Hearing babies can communicate earlier.
D．Deaf babies understand short sentences well.
【答案】4．B 5．C 6．A 7．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了婴儿手语的兴起及其对早期沟通的重要性。
4．推理判断题。 根据第一段内容，尤其是“Gregory smiles and looks carefully. It could be a year before Gregory, four months old, can speak, but now his mother hopes to communicate with her baby through sign language. (Gregory微笑着，仔细地看着。虽然可能要再过一年，四个月大的Gregory里才能说话，但现在他的母亲希望通过手语与宝宝交流。)”可知，第一段的目的是通过Campbell教儿子手语的例子引出了婴儿手语的话题。故选B。
5．词句猜测题。根据第二段中画线词上文“Like others around the world, Campbell is part of a growing movement of parents teaching hearing babies simple signs to communicate before they can talk. The baby sign language has been more popular in recent years. (像世界上许多其他家长一样，Campbell是越来越多教听力正常的婴儿在学会说话之前使用简单手势进行交流的父母中的一员。近年来，婴儿手语越来越受欢迎。)”可知，画线单词it指的是上文的“教婴儿手语的活动”。故选C。
6．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Like others around the world, Campbell is part of a growing movement of parents teaching hearing babies simple signs to communicate before they can talk. (像世界上许多其他家长一样，Campbell是越来越多教听力正常的婴儿在学会说话之前使用简单手势进行交流的父母中的一员。)”可知，家长教婴儿手语的主要目的是在婴儿还不会说话之前与其进行交流。故选A。
7．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““They are understanding words before they are able to say them. From around 16 to 18 months, they might say 50 words but understand 200. They understand short sentences well,” says McRoberts. (“他们在能够说出单词之前就已经理解了这些词。大约从16到18个月大时，他们可能只能说50个词，但能理解200个词。他们能很好地理解简短的句子。”McRoberts说道。)”可知，McRoberts同意婴儿能理解的单词比他们能说的要多。故选B。
Yellowstone National Park is a territory of extraordinary natural beauty that can bless the spirit like no other. There are numerous remarkable places in Yellowstone that seem designed for travelers to simply sit back and admire. Unfold your picnic chair at Pet Creek and let the sound of its rushing waters bless your mind and soul. The park’s north, where dense trees stretch out into rolling meadows in Lamar Valley, is a sight to behold. The lush fields are watched by babbling brooks and framed by a backdrop of snow-capped peaks. It’s a splendid display of nature’s grandeur (壮丽).
Bringing binoculars allows you to catch a closer glimpse of the rare wild bison and other native animals. When evening sets in, you can set up your tent at one of the many campsites or head out of the park’s north entrance to Garner. This gateway town is the perfect haven for weary travelers. Warm yourself with a hearty meal at one of the many superb eateries (饭馆) before continuing your epic adventure in Yellowstone.

It has previously been proved that representative gestures improves memory for concrete words, in particular action words. Here, we investigate the impact of gestures on abstract word learning in a foreign language. We further ask if learning novel words with gestures promotes sentence production.
Thus twenty German speakers were recruited (招募) to participate in the experiment, with an average age of 21, consisting of 12 females and 8 males. No one had any known hearing loss. The training material contained 32 abstract sentences in an artificial language database created for experimental purposes. The 32 sentences were randomly distributed in two training conditions, with 16 sentences per group.
In condition 1, participants saw the word and heard it. After half a second, its translation into German appeared on the screen. Meanwhile, a video with a still image of the actress appeared on the screen. Participants were cued to repeat the word they had previously seen and heard aloud. In condition 2, participants saw and heard a word. Half a second later, the German translation showed up. At the same time, a video with the actress performing a symbolic gesture for the word appeared on the screen. Participants read the word aloud and repeated the gesture.
Participants were trained on the 32 sentences for 6 days. Memory performance was assessed daily using different tests. The overall results support the prediction that learners have better memory for words with gestures. In the sentence test, participants produced new sentences with the words they had acquired. Words represented with gestures were used more frequently, showing their enhanced accessibility in memory.
If adding a gesture to a word in a foreign language is a key to better storage and slower forgetting, teaching and learning should take this into account. Teachers could present new texts by connecting new words with gestures and encouraging students to repeat them. Learners could abandon their traditional vocabulary lists and instead perform their own actions accompanying new words.
12．What was the purpose of inviting twenty German speakers
A．To evaluate the impact of hearing problem.
B．To test their ability to learn foreign language.
C．To compare audiovisual and gesture learning.
D．To confirm the pre-experimental assumption.
13．How did the training conditions differ for participants
A．Both groups used the same methods with no difference.
B．Participants were divided based on their gender and age.
C．The training conditions were the same except extra gestures.
D．One used only audiovisual aids while the other only gestures.
14．What conclusion could be drawn from the production of sentences
A．Words with actions were more likely to be used.
B．Participants performed better with some gestures.
C．Memory influenced sentence production abilities.
D．Gestures had no effect on the sentence production.
15．What suggestion might the study offer for language learners
A．Depend only on audiovisual materials.
B．Teach new words with designed gestures.
C．Quit traditional vocabulary memorization.
D．Integrate movements with word repetition.
【答案】12．D 13．C 14．A 15．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章分享了一个关于手势和外语学习的研究，这项研究发现语言学习者在外语语言学习时， 使用手势对记忆外语中抽象词汇有积极的影响，发现手势能增强记忆和句子生成能力。
12．推理判断题。根据第一段“Here, we investigate the impact of gestures on abstract word learning in a foreign language. We further ask if learning novel words with gestures promotes sentence production.(在这里，我们研究手势对外语抽象单词学习的影响。我们进一步问，用手势学习新单词是否能促进句子的生成。)”和第二段“Thus twenty German speakers were recruited (招募) to participate in the experiment, with an average age of 21, consisting of 12 females and 8 males.(因此，我们招募了20名平均年龄为21岁的德语使用者参与实验，其中女性12人，男性8人。)”可知，该实验招募了20名说德语的参与者，目的是为了证实研究猜想，即在外语学习中，使用手势是否能够增强对抽象词汇的记忆。故选D。
13．细节理解题。根据第三段“In condition 1, participants saw the word and heard it. After half a second, its translation into German appeared on the screen. Meanwhile, a video with a still image of the actress appeared on the screen.(在条件1中，参与者看到和听到这个词。半秒钟后，屏幕上出现了它的德语翻译。与此同时，屏幕上出现了一段带有这位女演员静态图像的视频。)”和“In condition 2, participants saw and heard a word. Half a second later, the German translation showed up. At the same time, a video with the actress performing a symbolic gesture for the word appeared on the screen.(在第二种情况下，参与者看到和听到一个单词。半秒钟后，德文翻译出来了。与此同时，屏幕上出现了一段女演员为这个词做象征性手势的视频。)”可知，参与者的训练条件是一样的，除了额外的手势。故选C。
14．细节理解题。根据第四段“Words represented with gestures were used more frequently, showing their enhanced accessibility in memory.(用手势表示的单词使用频率更高，表明它们在记忆中的可及性更高。)”可知，有手势动作的语言更有可能被使用。故选A。
15．推理判断题。根据最后一段作者的建议“Learners could abandon their traditional vocabulary lists and instead perform their own actions accompanying new words.(学习者可以放弃传统的词汇表，而是用自己的动作来搭配新单词。)”可知，这项研究对语言学习者的建议是把动作和单词重复结合起来。故选D。
Exam Anxiety
Has this ever happened to you You’ve been studying hard for your midterm, but when you walk into your exam, your mind goes blank, your heart races fast, you get sweaty palms and find it hard to breathe. 16
Everyone feels stressed during exams. Usually, it results from a fear of failure, lack of enough preparation time and bad experiences taking tests in the past. This is normal and often helps you work harder, think faster and generally improve your performance. 17 You may also feel that other people are managing the exam better than you. This can cause you to feel that your mind has “gone blank” on information you know you have revised.
18 Some choose to ignore the problem, while others don’t review because they think they will do badly anyway and even miss exams due to the anxiety. It can also be really easy to think that if you don’t try and then you fail, you won’t feel as bad as if you fail after trying really hard.
So what can you do to fight against the negative mindset and stay calm before and during your test 19 Yes, this seems obvious, but it’s worth repeating. If you feel confident that you’ve prepared thoroughly, you’ll feel more confident walking into the test. The second tip is simple: just start. The blank page can maximize your anxiety. 20 You can always go back and change things later if needed, but a few quick answers can get the ball rolling. Besides, allocating (分配) your time is equally important. Look through the whole test before getting started. Mentally allocate how much time you’ll spend on each section. If there’s time to recheck, even better.
A．The first thing you should do is to be prepared.
B．People often deal with exam stress in many unhelpful ways.
C．If these classic signs of exam anxiety sound familiar, you’re not alone!
D．Therefore, people need an appropriate amount of pressure to help deal with exams.
E．Realizing time is almost up and that there’s still a lot of blank space will make you desperate.
F．However, if you are overly anxious about the result, you may be unable to focus on your work.
G．After you get the paper, dive right in by getting some questions done to build up your confidence.
【答案】16．C 17．F 18．B 19．A 20．G

18．后文“Some choose to ignore the problem, while others don’t review because they think they will do badly anyway and even miss exams due to the anxiety.(一些人选择忽略这个问题，而另一些人不复习，因为他们认为他们无论如何都会做得很差，甚至因为焦虑而错过考试。)”表示不同的人如何消极地应对考试焦虑，B选项“人们经常用许多无益的方式来应对考试压力”引出下文无益的几种方式。故选B。
19．前文“So what can you do to fight against the negative mindset and stay calm before and during your test (那么，你能做些什么来对抗消极的心态，并在考试前和考试中保持冷静呢？)”提问应如何减少考试焦虑，保持冷静，再结合下文“If you feel confident that you’ve prepared thoroughly, you’ll feel more confident walking into the test.(如果你觉得自己已经准备充分，那么在考试时你会更自信。)”可知，第一点应该是做好准备，A选项“你要做的第一件事就是做好准备”符合主旨。故选A。
20．前文“The second tip is simple: just start. The blank page can maximize your anxiety.(第二个技巧很简单：只要开始就行。空白的纸能让你的焦虑最大化。)”说明第二个方法是直接答卷，G选项“拿到试卷后，你可以通过做一些问题来建立你的信心”表明在做题的过程中逐渐增加自信，符合前文语境。故选G。

No museum in the United States is as famous as the Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), which is filled with 56 from all over the world, including collections from Ancient Egypt and classical antiquity. Visiting“ the Met” is an art 57 or like any other, and like much in New York, it’s impossible to see all the museum has to offer in one day (or even two days, for that matter). If you’ ve never been there, then you should visit its permanent collections (the first floor’s Greek and Roman art, 58 art and the second floor’s Islamic art exhibits are especially popular with travelers). If you have already 59 the Met a time or two, then plan your next trip around the semiannual exhibits by the Costume Institute, or head to The Met Cloisters, an offshoot museum that includes medieval Europe’s art and 60 located in Fort Tyron Park.
Travelers love the Met and believe the facilities and artworks are 61 . Many people suggest surfing the museum’s website to 62 what you’d like to see ahead of your visit. You can also apply for a special guided tour for a deeper 63 of the museum’s content.
The museum is located at 1000 Fifth Ave., on the eastern perimeter of Central Park. You can visit the museum from 10 a. m. to 5.30 p. m. daily, with extended hours on Friday and Saturday until 9 p. m. Suggested 64 to the Met is $25 for adults, $17 for seniors and $12 for students; kids younger than 12 can enter for free with a paying adult. You can purchase tickets 65 or in person. If you are a resident of New York state or a student in New York, New Jersey or Connecticut, the admission is“ pay what you wish.”

Should ordering takeaway food to school be banned
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Should ordering takeaway food to school be banned
Recently, our school students have had a heated discussion about whether ordering takeaway food to school should be banned. Students’ opinions vary on this topic.
Students in favor of it claim that ordering takeaway food provides a convenient way for those who plan to stay and learn some more time after class when there is little food left in the canteen. Besides, it enables us to have access to a variety of tasty foods, enriching our lives. However, opponents of takeaway food hold the belief that students are likely to develop some physical problems as a result of some unhealthy takeaway food. Apart from the food wasted in the canteen, there is no doubt that takeaway food wrapped in plastic leads to pollution. The more takeaway food we order, the more serious the pollution will be.
From my perspective, the disadvantages of ordering takeaway food do outweigh its advantages. Therefore, it is necessary that ordering takeaway food to school should be forbidden.

There are many national parks in the UK, and you may know Northumberland National Park, the North York Moors National Park and so on. But when you think of wildlife holidays in the UK, Scotland is probably the first destination that springs to mind, with quite a few breathtaking natural sites that offer a wonderful base to watch wildlife.
Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park
It is the first national park established in Scotland. The Loch Lomond at the center of the park is the largest body of fresh water in the UK. The largest land mammal (哺乳动物) in Britain, red deer can be found in the park. Keep an eye out as you pass through forests, woodlands and open hills.
The Isle of Staffa
The Isle of Staffa is famous for its dramatic rock formations, and for the cave known as “Fingal’s Cave”. Staffa provided inspiration for Felix Mendelssohn, a German musician. He visited in 1829 and, afterwards, composed his Hebrides Overture. The island is also famous for its adorable seabirds — puffins, which are known for their vibrant beaks (鸟喙).
The Cairngorms National Park
The Cairngorms National Park is in northeast Scotland. With an area of about 1,750 square miles, the park covers the Cairngorms range of mountains and surrounding hills, and is the largest national park in the UK and the second national park in Scotland. Over 25% of the UK’s endangered species make their home in the park’s ancient pine forests, among which you can find the red squirrel (松鼠) — the UK’s only native squirrel species.
1．Which of the following is connected with the creation of a piece of music
A．The North York Moors National Park.
B．Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.
C．The Isle of Staffa.
D．The Cairngorms National Park.
2．What do we know about the Cairngorms National Park
A．It is home to a wide variety of animals.
B．It lies off the coast of northeast Scotland.
C．It is the only place to find endangered species.
D．It is the second largest national park in Scotland.
3．What is the purpose of the text
A．To give advice on how to spend holidays in Scotland.
B．To introduce some places to see wildlife in Scotland.
C．To raise awareness of endangered wildlife in Scotland.
D．To compare some breathtaking destinations in Scotland.

Baby sign language is a growing movement. Pointing to a colorful flower, Campbell lifts her baby’s soft hand, and rapidly moves it from one side of his nose to the other as she sniffs (嗅). “Flower!” she says loudly. Gregory smiles and looks carefully. It could be a year before Gregory, four months old, can speak, but now his mother hopes to communicate with her baby through sign language.
Like others around the world, Campbell is part of a growing movement of parents teaching hearing babies simple signs to communicate before they can talk. The baby sign language has been more popular in recent years. The movie, Meet the Fockers, where the main character teaches his young grandson to sign, makes it well developed.
Babies generally begin to talk between 12 and 15 months, but babies can use sign language to communicate before they learn how to speak. “We know they are learning language faster than they are able to show you with their speech production because that system takes a long time to develop,” says McRoberts, director of developmental research at the Haskins Laboratories.
“They are understanding words before they are able to say them. From around 16 to 18 months, they might say 50 words but understand 200. They understand short sentences well,” says McRoberts.
Studies have shown deaf children learn to use sign language earlier than hearing children learn to speak meaningfully. As to whether hearing babies can communicate earlier with sign language, McRoberts says, “I think that’s still unknown. It may not. I’m very interested in that very question.”
4．The first paragraph is written to _________.
A．show Gregory can use baby sign language B．introduce the topic — baby sign language
C．show how Campbell taught her son “flower” D．explain that baby sign language is easy to learn
5．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to
A．How to teach a grandson. B．Making baby sign language meaningful.
C．The movement of teaching babies sign language. D．The movie Meet the Fockers.
6．Many parents teach their babies sign language mainly to _________.
A．communicate with their babies B．make their babies learn English fast
C．make their babies clever D．make their babies interested in language
7．Which of the following does McRoberts agree with
A．Babies learn to talk quickly.
B．Babies can understand more words than they can say.
C．Hearing babies can communicate earlier.
D．Deaf babies understand short sentences well.
C

It has previously been proved that representative gestures improves memory for concrete words, in particular action words. Here, we investigate the impact of gestures on abstract word learning in a foreign language. We further ask if learning novel words with gestures promotes sentence production.
Thus twenty German speakers were recruited (招募) to participate in the experiment, with an average age of 21, consisting of 12 females and 8 males. No one had any known hearing loss. The training material contained 32 abstract sentences in an artificial language database created for experimental purposes. The 32 sentences were randomly distributed in two training conditions, with 16 sentences per group.
In condition 1, participants saw the word and heard it. After half a second, its translation into German appeared on the screen. Meanwhile, a video with a still image of the actress appeared on the screen. Participants were cued to repeat the word they had previously seen and heard aloud. In condition 2, participants saw and heard a word. Half a second later, the German translation showed up. At the same time, a video with the actress performing a symbolic gesture for the word appeared on the screen. Participants read the word aloud and repeated the gesture.
Participants were trained on the 32 sentences for 6 days. Memory performance was assessed daily using different tests. The overall results support the prediction that learners have better memory for words with gestures. In the sentence test, participants produced new sentences with the words they had acquired. Words represented with gestures were used more frequently, showing their enhanced accessibility in memory.
If adding a gesture to a word in a foreign language is a key to better storage and slower forgetting, teaching and learning should take this into account. Teachers could present new texts by connecting new words with gestures and encouraging students to repeat them. Learners could abandon their traditional vocabulary lists and instead perform their own actions accompanying new words.
12．What was the purpose of inviting twenty German speakers
A．To evaluate the impact of hearing problem.
B．To test their ability to learn foreign language.
C．To compare audiovisual and gesture learning.
D．To confirm the pre-experimental assumption.
13．How did the training conditions differ for participants
A．Both groups used the same methods with no difference.
B．Participants were divided based on their gender and age.
C．The training conditions were the same except extra gestures.
D．One used only audiovisual aids while the other only gestures.
14．What conclusion could be drawn from the production of sentences
A．Words with actions were more likely to be used.
B．Participants performed better with some gestures.
C．Memory influenced sentence production abilities.
D．Gestures had no effect on the sentence production.
15．What suggestion might the study offer for language learners
A．Depend only on audiovisual materials.
B．Teach new words with designed gestures.
C．Quit traditional vocabulary memorization.
D．Integrate movements with word repetition.

Exam Anxiety
Has this ever happened to you You’ve been studying hard for your midterm, but when you walk into your exam, your mind goes blank, your heart races fast, you get sweaty palms and find it hard to breathe. 16
Everyone feels stressed during exams. Usually, it results from a fear of failure, lack of enough preparation time and bad experiences taking tests in the past. This is normal and often helps you work harder, think faster and generally improve your performance. 17 You may also feel that other people are managing the exam better than you. This can cause you to feel that your mind has “gone blank” on information you know you have revised.
18 Some choose to ignore the problem, while others don’t review because they think they will do badly anyway and even miss exams due to the anxiety. It can also be really easy to think that if you don’t try and then you fail, you won’t feel as bad as if you fail after trying really hard.
So what can you do to fight against the negative mindset and stay calm before and during your test 19 Yes, this seems obvious, but it’s worth repeating. If you feel confident that you’ve prepared thoroughly, you’ll feel more confident walking into the test. The second tip is simple: just start. The blank page can maximize your anxiety. 20 You can always go back and change things later if needed, but a few quick answers can get the ball rolling. Besides, allocating (分配) your time is equally important. Look through the whole test before getting started. Mentally allocate how much time you’ll spend on each section. If there’s time to recheck, even better.
A．The first thing you should do is to be prepared.
B．People often deal with exam stress in many unhelpful ways.
C．If these classic signs of exam anxiety sound familiar, you’re not alone!
D．Therefore, people need an appropriate amount of pressure to help deal with exams.
E．Realizing time is almost up and that there’s still a lot of blank space will make you desperate.
F．However, if you are overly anxious about the result, you may be unable to focus on your work.
G．After you get the paper, dive right in by getting some questions done to build up your confidence.

No museum in the United States is as famous as the Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), which is filled with 56 from all over the world, including collections from Ancient Egypt and classical antiquity. Visiting“ the Met” is an art 57 or like any other, and like much in New York, it’s impossible to see all the museum has to offer in one day (or even two days, for that matter). If you’ ve never been there, then you should visit its permanent collections (the first floor’s Greek and Roman art, 58 art and the second floor’s Islamic art exhibits are especially popular with travelers). If you have already 59 the Met a time or two, then plan your next trip around the semiannual exhibits by the Costume Institute, or head to The Met Cloisters, an offshoot museum that includes medieval Europe’s art and 60 located in Fort Tyron Park.
Travelers love the Met and believe the facilities and artworks are 61 . Many people suggest surfing the museum’s website to 62 what you’d like to see ahead of your visit. You can also apply for a special guided tour for a deeper 63 of the museum’s content.
The museum is located at 1000 Fifth Ave., on the eastern perimeter of Central Park. You can visit the museum from 10 a. m. to 5.30 p. m. daily, with extended hours on Friday and Saturday until 9 p. m. Suggested 64 to the Met is $25 for adults, $17 for seniors and $12 for students; kids younger than 12 can enter for free with a paying adult. You can purchase tickets 65 or in person. If you are a resident of New York state or a student in New York, New Jersey or Connecticut, the admission is“ pay what you wish.”
