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. 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 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 to 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.

Port Lympne Reserve, which runs a breeding (繁育) programme, has welcomed the arrival of a rare black rhino calf (犀牛幼崽). When the tiny creature arrived on January 31, she became the 40th black rhino to be born at the reserve. And officials at Port Lympne were delighted with the new arrival, especially as black rhinos are known for being difficult to breed in captivity (圈养).
Paul Beer, head of rhino section at Port Lympne, said: “Obviously we’re all absolutely delighted to welcome another calf to our black rhino family. She’s healthy, strong and already eager to play and explore. Her mother, Solio, is a first-time mum and she is doing a fantastic job. It’s still a little too cold for them to go out into the open, but as soon as the weather warms up, I have no doubt that the little one will be out and about exploring and playing every day.”
The adorable female calf is the second black rhino born this year at the reserve, but it is too early to tell if the calves will make good candidates to be returned to protected areas of the wild. The first rhino to be born at Port Lympne arrived on January 5 to first-time mother Kisima and weighed about 32kg. His mother, grandmother and
great grandmother were all born at the reserve and still live there.
According to the World Wildlife Fund, the global black rhino population has dropped as low as 5500, giving the rhinos a “critically endangered” status.
24．Which of the following best describes the breeding programme
A．Costly. B．Controversial. C．Ambitious. D．Successful.
25．What does Paul Beer say about the new-born rhino
A．She loves staying with her mother. B．She dislikes outdoor activities.
C．She is in good condition D．She is sensitive to heat.
26．What similar experience do Solio and Kisima have
A．They had their first born in January. B．They enjoyed exploring new places
C．They lived with their grandmothers. D．They were brought to the reserve young
27．What can be inferred about Porn Lympne Reserve
A．The rhino section will be open to the public.
B．It aims to control the number of the animals.
C．It will continue to work with the World Wildlife Fund.
D．Some of its rhinos may be sent to the protected wild areas.

On December 26, 2004, an earthquake along the Indian Ocean caused a huge tsunami that killed thousands of people in Asia and East Africa. However, wildlife officials at Sri Lanka’s Yala National Park reported no mass animal deaths. Yala National Park is home to hundreds of wild animals.
Some researchers believe the animals at the park were able to sense the earthquake and moved to higher ground before the earthquake hit. Animals have good senses that help protect themselves from being hunted by their natural enemies. It is thought that their senses might also help them sense the coming disasters. Several countries have done research on the prediction of earthquakes by animals. There are two theories about how animals may be able to sense earthquakes. One theory is that animals sense the earth’s shake. The other is that they can sense changes in the air. However, so far there has been no strong evidence about how animals may be able to sense earthquakes.
Other researchers are skeptical (怀疑) about using animals for earthquake predictions. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) officially states, “Changes in animal behaviors cannot be used to predict earthquakes. Even though there have been many cases of unusual animal behaviors before earthquakes, a connection between a specific behavior and an earthquake has not been made. Because of their fine senses, animals can often feel the earthquake at its earliest stages before the humans. That’s why people say that the animal knew the earthquake
was coming. But animals can also change their behaviors for many other reasons.”
Although scientists disagree on whether animal behaviors can be used to predict earthquakes, they all agree that it is possible for animals to sense changes in the environment before humans. Researchers around the world are continuing to study the connection between animal behaviors and earthquakes. It is hoped that these studies will help to predict earthquakes.
28．What can we know about animals’ senses
A．They are not reliable. B．They can change the environment.
C．They can protect animals in some ways. D．They can prevent animals acting strangely.
29．What does the USGS mean according to the third paragraph
A．Animal behaviors can be used to predict earthquakes.
B．Animal behaviors are closely related to earthquakes.
C．Animals are bound to act strangely before an earthquake.
D．Animals might change their behaviors while being hunted.
30．Which word best describes the author’s attitude to scientists’ study
A．Disappointed. B．Positive. C．Uninterested. D．Doubtful.
31．What is the main idea of the text
A．Will big earthquakes cause tsunami B．Why does animals change their behaviors
C．Can animals truly predict earthquakes D．How can animals’ senses be put into use
D
Exercise could not only benefit your body, but also improve your memory, researchers found recently. In their paper published on Monday, researchers from the University of California in the US and the University of Tsukuba in Japan introduced their experiment and conclusion.
Scientists invited 36 volunteers who were in their early 20s to do 10 minutes of light exercise before taking a memory test in which they were shown pictures like broccoli (西兰花) or picnic baskets and asked to recall them later. The same experiment was repeated with the same group of volunteers without exercising. “The memory task was really quite challenging,” said Michael Yassa, co-author of the study and a neuroscientist (神经科学家) at the University of California. “We used trickily similar items to see if they would remember whether it was this exact picnic basket or that picnic basket.”
Researchers also scanned some of the brains of the participants during the experiment. They found that the brains of those who exercised strengthened their ability to remember things. This suggested that just 10 minutes of light exercise like walking, yoga or Tai Chi might increase memory.
As all the volunteers in the experiment were relatively young, researchers are still working to look at the
effects of light exercise on older people. “Our future goal is to try to develop an exercise prescription that can be used by older adults who might have disabilities or limited movements, but can still take very simple exercise and be able to, perhaps, put off the reduction of cognitive (认知的) skills slowly,” said Yassa.
32．What is the function of Paragraph 1
A．To correct a mistake. B．To introduce two universities.
C．To give practical advice. D．To present a research result.
33．Why was the memory task quite challenging according to Yassa
A．The people in the experiment were disabled. B．The items to be chosen were extremely similar.
C．The time to solve the questions was too limited. D．The questions to be asked were too complicated.
34．What is the underlined word “prescription” probably similar to
A．Ability. B．Benefit. C．Method. D．Detail.
35．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Exercise Can Improve Older People’s Cognitive Abilities
B．Ten Minutes of Exercise a Day Might Improve Memory
C．Exercise Is Beneficial to Both Young and Old
D．Advantages of Exercising Regularly

Being nearsighted is far more common than it once was. The case rate of myopia (近视) in Americans 56 (increase) by 66 percent since the early 1970s, according to a study by the National Eye Institute; in China and other East Asian countries, more than half of recent high school graduates are thought 57 (be) the persons who suffer myopia.
Myopia results when eyeballs are 58 (long) than normal, changing the angle at which light enters the eye and the ability to focus 59 distant objects. The disorder 60 (usual) begins before adolescence, when the eye is growing, but it can worsen in early adulthood.
Some experts connect the myopia to the many hours young people spend in staring at 61 (computer) and other screens. But a recent study published in JAMA Ophthalmology suggests that a greater factor may be a side effect of all that screen-watching — it’s 62 (keep) children inside.
This new study shows that a lack of direct sunlight may damage vision. Strong correlations (关联) were found between current eyesight and 63 (people) lifetime exposure to sunlight. Those 64 had gotten the most sun, particularly between the ages of 14 and 19, were about 25 percent less likely to have developed myopia by middle age. Exposure to sunlight up to 65 age of 30 also brought a protective benefit.

Through our lives, we can gain a lot and lose so much. But being honest should always be with us, as honesty is always regarded as a virtue. Every time I talk about the topic, something crowds in my mind as if it had just happened.
I was 16 when one morning, Dad told me I could drive him to Mijas and then take the car in a nearby garage to get it serviced. At that time, I had just passed the driving test, and I hardly had a chance to use the car, so I said yes without hesitation.
I drove my father to Mijas, promising to pick him up again at 4 pm, then I went to a
nearby garage, and put the car in there. Since I had several hours to spare, I decided to go to a movie theater near the garage to see the movie. However, I was so absorbed in the plot of the movie that I forgot the time. When the last movie finished, I looked at my watch： 6 pm. I was two hours late!
I thought my father would be very angry if he knew what I was doing. And he would never let me drive again. So I decided to make up an excuse. Then, I drove to the appointed place, my father was sitting in a corner, waiting patiently. I first apologized for being late, then told him that I wanted to get there as soon as possible, but that something was wrong with some of the main parts of the car.
I would never forget the way he looked at me. “I'm very disappointed that you thought you had to lie to me, Jason.” My father looked at me again and said, “When you didn't show up on time, I called the gas station and asked if there was anything wrong They told me you never picked up the car. So, you see, I know there's nothing wrong with the car at all."
Paragraph 1
A wave of guilt swept over me and I had to admit the fact that I had gone to the movies and that was the real reason why I was late.

We all know that exercise has many benefits. Mostly, we can tell by how much better we feel after exercise. And if we are overweight, exercising more usually helps with weight loss. Scientific research also supports this general understanding about exercise. Many studies are done on how different sports affect the human body. One recent study was done by the scientists of the American Cancer Society and Harvard University. It received information from people with 15 different types of cancer. Researchers found that there was lower risk for 7 of these 15 cancer types when people exercised. Also, the more they exercised, the lower their risk became. For example, men who exercised 7. 5 hours a week had an 8% less chance of getting colon cancer (结肠癌). And men who exercised 15 hours a week had a 14% lower risk. These results are not just numbers. Adults should get physical activity at recommended levels to lower the risk of cancer. Actually, scientists suggest that most adults can get enough exercise by walking 30 minutes a day at a rate of 3 miles per hour.

28．细节理解题。根据第二段“Animals have good senses that help protect themselves from being hunted by their natural enemies(动物有良好的感官，有助于保护自己免受天敌的猎杀)和“It is thought that their senses might also help them sense the coming disasters(动物的感官也可以帮助他们感觉到即将到来的灾害)”可知，动物的感官在某些方面可以保护动物。故选C项。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段第二句至段末“The United States Geological Survey (USGS) officially states, “Changes in animal behaviors cannot be used to predict earthquakes. Even though there have been many cases of unusual animal behaviors before earthquakes, a connection between a specific behavior and an earthquake has not been made. Because of their fine senses, animals can often feel the earthquake at its earliest stages before the humans. That’s why people say that the animal knew the earthquake was coming. But animals can also change their behaviors for many other reasons.” (美国地质调查局(USGS)官方声明：“动物行为的变化不能用来预测地震。尽管地震前动物有很多不寻常行为的案例，但人们还没有找到一种特定行为与地震之间的联系。由于它们敏锐的感官，动物经常能在地震发生的最初阶段比人类更早感受到地震。这就是为什么人们说动物知道地震要来了。但动物也可以因为许多其他原因改变它们的行为。” )”可知，动物会因为很多原因而改变自己的行为，比如被猎杀。故选D项。
30．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Researchers around the world are continuing to study the connection between animal behaviors and earthquakes. It is hoped that these studies will help to predict earthquakes. (世界各地的研究人员正在继续研究动物行为和地震之间的联系，希望这些研究将有助于预测地震)”可知，科学家们在持续研究动物行为与地震之间的关系，作者希望这些研究能帮助更好地预测地震。由此推知，作者对科学家研究的态度是积极的。故选B项。
31．主旨大意题。根据第二段第一句“Some researchers believe the animals at the park were able to sense the earthquake and moved to higher ground before the earthquake hit. (一些研究人员认
为，公园里的动物能够感知地震，并在地震发生前移动到更高的地方)”和第三段第一句“Other researchers are skeptical (怀疑) about using animals for earthquake predictions. (其他研究人员对使用动物进行地震预测持怀疑态度)”以及最后一段第一句“Although scientists disagree on whether animal behaviors can be used to predict earthquakes, they all agree that it is possible for animals to sense changes in the environment before humans. (尽管科学家们对动物行为是否可以用来预测地震存在分歧，但他们都同意动物有可能比人类更早感知到环境的变化。)”可知，科学家们关于动物行为是否可以预测地震有不同观点，即动物真的能预测地震吗。故选C项。
32．D 33．B 34．C 35．B

33．细节理解题。根据第二段Yassa的话“We used trickily similar items to see if they would remember whether it was this exact picnic basket or that picnic basket.(我们巧妙地使用类似的物品，看他们是否会记得是这个野餐篮还是那个野餐篮)”可知，志愿者要选择的两项物品之间极其相似，以至于记忆难度富有挑战。故选B项。
34．词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句子可知该词下文“that can be used by older adults who might have disabilities or limited movements(可以用于可能有残疾或行动受限的老年人)”是对划线词语的修饰和补充，故prescription意为“处方”，与method“方法”意思接近。故选C项。
35．主旨大意题。通读全文，根据文章首句“Exercise could not only benefit your body, but also improve your memory, researchers found recently.(研究人员最近发现，锻炼不仅有益于身体，还能改善记忆力)”，以及第三段最后一句话“This suggested that just 10 minutes of light exercise like walking, yoga or Tai Chi might increase memory.(这表明，只需10分钟的轻度运动，如散步、瑜伽或太极，就可以提高记忆力)”可知，本文的最合适的标题为“每天锻炼十分钟可能会提高记忆力”。故选B项。

There are many respectable people around us. And among them, my English teacher is a shining example, for whom I show great respect. The reason why she deserves my respect are as follows.
First of all, it is typical of her to treat us students with kindness as if we were her own children. Once I got stuck in a position where I was poor in English, deciding to give it up. However, it was her motherly kindness, patience and encouragement that pulled me through the hard times. What’s more, she is always devoted to her teaching career. As is often the case, busy as she is, she always sets aside some time to keep company with us students. Besides, what impresses me most is that she lays great emphasis on hard work. She has a strong sense of responsibility and is strict with us students, which leaves a deep impression on me.
All in all, she is a role model from whom I have learned and benefited a lot. I will always respect and remember her.

You see. I realize that I have failed as a father if after all these years you feel that you have to lie to me. I have failed because I have brought up a son who cannot even tell the truth to his own father. I'm going to walk home now and think where I have gone wrong all these years”.
But father, it's exactly eighteen miles home from here , and it's dark. You can't walk back. " I begged .My protests, my apologies and the rest of my words were useless.

I apologized all the way,telling him how sorry I was, but he simply ignored me. For 18 miles he kept walking.
