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. It comes alive in the heat of the summer, when cooling ocean winds make a visit to Governors Island a good idea.
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.

When 22-year-old Jake Marlow lost his job at a local restaurant in 2020, he never imagined he would become a neighborhood legend known as the “Chicken Cutlet Guy.” With only $500 in savings, Jake set up a small food cart outside his apartment building, selling crispy chicken cutlet sandwiches for $5 each.
At first, business was slow. Jake worked 12-hour days, standing in the sun or rain, and often went home with unsold sandwiches. But instead of raising prices or quitting, he started giving free sandwiches to homeless people in the neighborhood and to kids who couldn’t afford to pay. “I know what it’s like to go hungry,” Jake said. “I didn’t want anyone else to feel that way.”
Word spread quickly about Jake’s kindness. Soon, people from all over the city came to buy his sandwiches, just to support his mission. Local businesses donated ingredients, and neighbors helped him fix his cart and set up a small outdoor seating area. Within a year, Jake turned his cart into a small brick-and-mortar restaurant, hiring 8 local people who had also lost their jobs during the pandemic.
Today, Jake’s restaurant, Marlow’s Cutlets, is a community hub. He still gives away 50 free sandwiches every day to people in need, and he runs a “Pay It Forward” program where customers can buy a sandwich for someone who can’t afford it. “This isn’t just a restaurant,” Jake says. “It’s a way to give back to the neighborhood that lifted me up when I had nothing.”

In many parts of the world, ancient villages that have stood for centuries are at risk of disappearing, destroyed by urbanization, climate change, and neglect. These villages are more than just old buildings — they are living museums of cultural heritage, holding the stories, traditions, and way of life of generations of people.
In southern China, the village of Xidi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its traditional Huizhou architecture, has faced growing threats in recent years. Many young people have left the village to work in cities, leaving only elderly residents behind. Without proper maintenance, many of the village’s 1,000-year-old wooden houses have begun to rot, and some have collapsed. “These houses are not just structures,” says local historian Li Wei, “They are the soul of our village. If we lose them, we lose our identity.”
To save Xidi, local authorities and conservationists have launched a multi-year protection project. The project includes restoring damaged buildings, training local residents in traditional construction techniques, and creating eco-tourism programs that allow visitors to experience the village’s culture without harming it. The key to the project, according to Li, is “revitalization, not just restoration.” “We don’t want to turn the village into a museum for tourists,” Li explains. “We want to bring young people back, so the village can live and grow again.”
The word “revitalization” is often used in heritage conservation, but it carries a deeper meaning here. It means breathing new life into old spaces, combining tradition with modernity, and ensuring that cultural heritage is not just preserved, but passed on to future generations. For villages like Xidi, the fight to survive is a fight to keep their culture alive.
8. What does the underlined word “revitalization” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Complete destruction.
B．Simple restoration.
C．Bringing new life.
D．Tourist development.
9. What does the word “soul” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A．The ancient wooden houses of Xidi.
B．The local history of Huizhou architecture.
C．The cultural identity of the village.
D．The elderly residents of the village.
10. Why have many ancient villages like Xidi been at risk
A．They are not popular with tourists.
B．Young people have left and buildings are neglected.
C．Local authorities have destroyed them for urbanization.
D．They lack traditional construction techniques.
11. What is the main idea of the passage
A．The history of ancient Chinese villages.
B．The threats to cultural heritage from climate change.
C．The efforts to protect and revitalize ancient cultural villages.
D．The importance of eco-tourism in heritage conservation.
D
Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly entered classrooms around the world, offering new tools for teaching and learning. From AI tutors that provide personalized feedback to chatbots that help students with homework, the technology promises to revolutionize education. But is AI a blessing or a curse for students and teachers
Proponents of AI in education argue that the technology can level the playing field for students. AI tutors can provide 24/7 support to students who struggle in class, helping them catch up at their own pace. AI can also automate grading and administrative tasks, freeing up teachers to focus on one-on-one instruction and student well-being. “AI is not here to replace teachers,” says education researcher Dr. Sarah Chen. “It’s here to empower them, giving them more time to do what they do best: connect with students.”
However, critics warn that AI poses serious risks to education. Many students use AI chatbots to write essays, solve math problems, and complete homework, leading to a rise in cheating and a decline in critical thinking skills. “If students let AI do all the work for them, they will never learn how to think for themselves,” says high school teacher James Miller. “We are raising a generation of students who can’t write a sentence without AI, and that’s a crisis.”
Another major concern is bias in AI algorithms. AI systems are trained on data, and if the data is biased, the AI will perpetuate that bias, leading to unfair treatment of students from marginalized backgrounds. Additionally, over-reliance on AI can erode the human connection that is at the heart of education.“Learning is not just about getting answers,” says Dr. Chen. “It’s about the relationship between teacher and student, the discussion, the struggle, the growth. AI can never replace that.”
In the end, AI in education is a double-edged sword. It has the potential to transform education for the better, but only if it is used responsibly, with clear guidelines to protect students and preserve the human element of learning.
12. What is the author’s attitude towards AI in education
A．Fully supportive.
B．Objective and cautious.
C．Completely opposed.
D．Indifferent and unconcerned.
13. Why do critics oppose the use of AI in education
A．It replaces teachers and increases unemployment.
B．It leads to cheating and a decline in critical thinking.
C．It makes education too expensive for low-income students.
D．It automates grading and reduces teacher workload.
14. What is the main idea of the passage
A．The benefits of AI in transforming education.
B．The risks of AI in causing cheating in schools.
C．The debate over AI’s role in education and its challenges.
D．The ways to use AI to improve student learning outcomes.
15. According to the passage, what can we learn about AI algorithms
A．They are completely free from bias.
B．They may reflect biases in the training data.
C．They are designed to replace human teachers.
D．They always improve students’ writing skills.

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。
In the small coastal town of Seaford, 17-year-old Leo was known for two things: his extraordinary talent for fixing old radios, and his short temper. Ever since his father, a marine biologist, went missing during a research expedition two years ago, Leo had built a wall around his heart. His only companion was an old, crackling ham radio that his father had left behind, which he had repaired countless times.
One rainy Tuesday, while spinning the dial of the radio, Leo caught a faint, unusual signal. It wasn’t music or static, but a voice he thought he’d never hear again — his father’s. The message was broken: “...Leo... coral bleaching... the old lighthouse coordinates... the device I hid...” Then the signal disappeared into the noise.
Leo’s heart pounded. He knew his father had been studying the abnormal rise in sea temperatures near the abandoned lighthouse. Rushing to the lighthouse, Leo found a hidden waterproof box containing a strange, fist-sized device. It had a blinking red light and a note: “Son, if you’re reading this, I discovered a sonic frequency that can restore damaged coral cells. But it’s dangerous to operate alone. Trust someone.”
Holding the device, Leo felt both hope and despair. His pride whispered, “You can do this alone, just like you fixed those radios.” But his father’s note echoed: “Trust someone.” Just then, the lighthouse door creaked open. It was Mia, his quiet classmate who was always reading books about marine ecology, and who Leo had often ignored because she was “too nerdy.”
“I... I followed you,” Mia said shyly, pointing at the device. “My dad is a sound engineer. I think I understand how that works. And Leo, your father was trying to save the reef. Let me help.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答.
Leo hesitated, his fingers tightening around the cold metal of the device.
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
Two weeks later, standing on the shore, Leo watched as the sea surface began to shimmer with a strange, gentle light.

Leo hesitated, his fingers tightening around the cold metal of the device. For a long time, he refused to rely on anyone, thinking he could solve all problems on his own. But the words on his father’s note kept ringing in his ears. He looked at Mia’s sincere eyes and finally nodded. They spent the whole afternoon studying the device together. Mia explained sound frequency knowledge clearly and helped Leo work out safe operating steps. They made a careful plan to test the machine on the nearby coral reef.
Two weeks later, standing on the shore, Leo watched as the sea surface began to shimmer with a strange, gentle light. The sonic device worked perfectly under their joint operation. Pale, dead coral slowly regained bright colors, and small fish swam around them again. Leo realized that pride only brought loneliness, while trust and cooperation created miracles. He put aside his bad temper and became close friends with Mia. They decided to keep protecting the ocean together, carrying on his father’s unfinished dream.
