Central Park One of the most famous parks in the world, Central Park is a man-made wonder. Not only is it the first public park built in America, but it is also one of the most frequently visited parks, with over 25 million guests per year. Set in the middle of busy Manhattan, its grounds serve as a safe harbor, not only for athletes, and musicians but also for lots of migratory birds each year. One can spend an entire peaceful day wandering its grounds, gazing upon nearly 50 fountains, monuments, and sculptures or admiring its 36 bridges. Hudson River Park Hudson River Park is a waterside park on the Hudson River that extends from 59th Street south to Battery Park in the New York City district of Manhattan. Bicycle and pedestrian paths, including the Manhattan Waterfront Greenway, span the park north to south, opening up the waterfront for the public to relax. The park includes tennis and soccer fields, childrens playground, dog run, and many other features. Washington Square Park Washington Square Park, located in the heart of Greenwich Village, is a very popular and often crowded place. People from all backgrounds gather to this large square dotted with trees. Central Park Zoo The Central Park Zoo is a small 6. 5-acre zoo located on Central Park in New York City. The zoo began in the 1860s, making it the first official zoo to open in New York. The zoo was improved in 1934, with the addition of many new buildings ranged in a quadrangle around the sea lion pool. Finally, the zoo was repaired in the mid-1980s and reopened in 1988, replacing the old-fashioned cages with naturalistic environments.21 Which park is set in the heart of Greenwich Village? A.Central Park. B.Hudson River Park.C.Washington Square Park. D.Central Park Zoo.22 What can we learn about Central Park? A.It is the first public park built in the world.B.It is primarily a man-made park.C.It was the most crowded park when first built.D.It especially attracts pedestrians and artists.23 When was the first official zoo in New York improved for the first time? A.In1934. B.In the 1860s. C.In the mid-1980s. D.In 1988.B On a cool morning, Wilson Kasaine walks along a dirt path in southern Kenya. Actually, Kasaine is tracking lions. Particularly, he is tracking one lion called Marti.Tracking lions on foot may sound dangerous, but Kasaine has been doing it for most of his life. Born in a traditional Maasai family, he understood the beauty and risk of the wildlife. Living with big game forces him to develop a good sense of where animals have been and where they might be going. During his 12-kilometer walks to and from school, he learned how to tell the paw prints of a lion from those of other animals.Growing up, Kasaine knew that improving his tracking abilities would help him avoid other dangerous animals. But maybe Kasaine didnt know that, years later, he would be tracking lions specifically to encounter them and to protect them. Today he leads a small group of wide-eyed tourists over a red sandy path in the reserve, searching for the lion that has left upon it his unmistakable prints.Each year, tens of thousands of tourists come to Kenyas national parks to try to visit the “big five”: elephants, rhinoceros, leopards, buffaloes, and lions. The attraction of these animals to people all over the world means that the nations economy is tied to the protection of its wildlife. If Kenyas wildlife disappears, so does its second-largest source of income.Considering the rapid urban development in Kenya, this isnt unimaginable. In 2016, a study shows that many of the nations most treasured species have fallen to less than one-third of their population counting from just 40 years ago. The number of lions fell too. In 1998, the nation was home to over 15,000; only about 2,000 remain today. Several experts have predicted they could disappear entirely from the country in the next two decades.Wildlife protection efforts in Kenya must be at the sacrifice of other things. People were forced to leave their land and into smaller surrounding regions. Communities like Kasaines are now finding it increasingly difficult to maintain a traditional Maasai lifestyle. But they are glad that their sacrifice really makes a difference.24.What did Kasaine learn on his way to school and back home?A. The beauty and risk of the wildlife.B. The method of telling different plants.C. The skills of telling different paw prints.D. The lifestyle of a traditional Maasai family.25.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The lion.B. The path.C. The reserve.D. The group.26.Why is Kenya making efforts to protect wildlife?A. To improve the nations economy.B. To offer more jobs to the local people.C. To show the importance of the “big five”.D. To set a good example to other countries.27.What do we know from the fifth paragraph?A. The lions in Kenya are in danger of dying out.B. The number of species declined seriously in 2016.C. The nations economy is experiencing a very hard period.D. Species in Kenya decreased every year in the recent ten years.CWhen I was 12, all I wanted was a signet (图章) ring. They were the in thing and it seemed every girl except me had one. On my 13th birthday, my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials(姓名首字母) carved into it. I was in heaven. What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasnt being replaced. Wed been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everythingso most of the new stuff (东西) we got was really just to replace what wed lost. But not my ring. My ring was new. Then, only one month later, I lost it. I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning. I was sad and searched everywhere for it. But it seemed to have disappeared. Eventually, I gave up and stopped looking for it. And two years later, we sold the house and moved away. Years passed, and a couple of moves later, I was visiting my parents when Mum told me that she had something for me. It wasnt my birthday, nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other gift-giving occasion. Mum noticed my questioning look. Youll recognize this one, she said, smiling. Then she handed me a small ring box. I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside. The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations, which included replacing the carpets. When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom, they found the ring. As it had my initials carved into it, they realized who owned the ring. Theyd had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother. And it still fits me.28 The underlined word in in the first paragraph probably means _.

A.My New Ring B.Lost and Found C.Lost and ReplacedD.An Expensive RingD Walt Disney is credited for creating such wonderful things as Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse. However, he cannot take the credit for creating other well-loved characters, such as Cinderella and Snow White. They are almost automatically associated with Disney because Disney turned old fables(寓言) into cartoon movies. The original Cinderella varies very much from the Disney version we know today. It started off with the girl mourning her mothers death and going to her tomb three times a day. In addition, there were only birds that helped Cinderella; there was no such thing as a fairy godmother or helpful mice, nor was there mention of a horse and carriage. The stepsisters were cruel: they always threw Cinderellas food into the ashes of the fire and made her sleep on the ashes on the floor, hence（因此）her name. In the original story, the kings ball actually lasted for three days. With the help of the birds, the girl, beautifully dressed, danced with the prince on all three nights and the prince fell in love with her. However, she broke away from him to rush back home each night. On the last night, the prince placed soothing sticky on the stairs; as Cinderella made her escape, a shoe got stuck on it. Here now is where the story becomes unpleasant: when the prince went to the house looking for the girl whose foot fit the shoe, the wicked(邪恶的) stepmother told one of her two daughters to cut off her big toe to fit into the shoe. The daughter did as told. So the prince took her away to be his bride. But when they passed the tomb of Cinderellas mother, the birds called out to the prince, “Turn and peep, theres blood in the shoe; the shoe is too small, the true bride waits for you.” Realizing he had been tricked, the prince returned the daughter to her mother. The other then had to cut off part of her heel in order to fit into the shoe, with the same result. Only Cinderellas foot fit perfectly and so the prince chose to marry her. The story ends with the wedding day: as Cinderellas two stepsisters followed her, pretending to be devoted to her so that they could enjoy the kings riches, two birds flew by and plucked(啄) out their eyes. Because of their wickedness and falsehood, they had to spend the rest of their days blind. The original Cinderella is so different from the Disney version. Thank goodness Disney made such changes; it indeed was a wise move.32 What dose the underlined word “They” in the first paragraph refer to? A.Such wonderful things. B.Other well-loved characters.C.Old fables. D.Cartoon movies.33 How did Cinderella get her name? A.The Birds came up with it. B.It was given by Disney.C.It came from the word “ash”. D.She got it from her mother.34 Which of the following is TRUE according to the original story? A Helpful mice got Cinderella a beautiful dress. B The ball was held to celebrate the princes wedding.C.Cinderella left her shoe on the stairs on purpose.D.The birds told the prince that he had been cheated.35 What does the author think of the Disney version? A.Excellent. B.OrdinaryC.Dull. D.Ridiculous.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分 ）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life.
