It is right in the middle of New York City. They are enjoying a beautiful, new park called the High Line, which was built on old railway tracks.After the railway was no longer used in 1980, wild plants, grass and trees began to grow between the tracks. A few people looked at this natural garden and saw something amazing. They worked to protect the area when others wanted to pull it down. Today, the High Line attracts up to 2 million visitors every year. This summer, the new part of the High Line started, almost doubling the parks size to one mile.The design of the park is special. The new part includes many activities for children. Young people can use building toys, including wood, wheels, ropes, gears and tools, to create one-of-a kind structures （构造）. The toys dont come with instructions. Instead, children use their imaginations to fashion houses, animals and machines.Everyone supporting the High Line project wanted the park to go around the city, says Danya Sherman, director of public programs for the Friends of the High Line. The Friends of the High Line is the group that saved the railway from pulling down, Sherman believes that public spaces such as the High Line have the power to bring communities closer.The park also gives visitors a chance to experience nature in the city. The designers have allowed the park to keep the overgrown feeling that it had when it was an unused track. If you visit, you can see birds, butterflies and many plants that grow in the northeastern United States.The Friends of the High Line hope to make the park even larger, over an area that is still used as a rail yard. The High Line has also inspired projects in other cities, including Philadelphia, Chicago, and Amsterdam, where people hope to build new parks on old railway tracks.（1）The writer thinks the design of the new park is special because_. A . the size is one mileB . the park looks like a wheelC . children can create something freelyD . it was built on new railway tracks（2）According to Danya Sherman, the High Line_. A . divides communities into different partsB . helps to improve neighbors relationshipC . should be taken away from the cityD . will never go around the city of New York（3）It can be inferred (推断) from passage that_. A . all the rail yards will be pulled downB . most natural animals will leave the parkC . more parks on old railway tracks will appearD . more and more people dont support the High Line project（4）What would be the best title for this passage? A . The famous theme parkB . The modern railway tracksC . The friends of the Great LineD . The natural garden in the sky13. （10分） Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you. Well, ni-hao. (Laughter) It is such a pleasure and an honor to be here with all of you at this great university, so thank you so much for having me. Im here today because I know that our future depends on connections like these among young people like you across the world.Thats why when my husband and I travel abroad, we dont just visit palaces and parliaments(国会) and meet with heads of countries. We also come to schools like this one to meet with students like you, because we believe that relationships between countries arent just about relationships between governments or leaders theyre about relationships between people, particularly young people. So we view study abroad programs not just as an educational chance for students, but also as an active part of Americas foreign policy(政策).Through the wonders of modern technology, our world is more connected than ever before. Ideas can cross oceans with the click of a mouse. Companies can do business and compete with companies across the world. And we can text, email, Skype with people in the world.So studying abroad isnt just a fun way to spend a time of learning; it is quickly becoming the key to success in our times. Because getting ahead in todays workplaces isnt just about getting good grades or test scores in school, which are important. Its also about having real experience with the world beyond your borders experience with languages, cultures and societies very different from your own.
