If you’re living in or visiting New York, take a few hours to visit one of these places to ice
skate during your time in New York City.
Bank of America Winter Village at Bryant Park
The free rink (溜冰馆) in Manhattan’s Bryant Park first opened in 2005. At 17,000 square feet,
it is about half the size of the Wollman Rink in Central Park and twice as big as the rink at
Rockefeller Center.
As Manhattan’s only free skating rink, and centrally located at that, it tends to be mobbed(围聚)
with waits up to 2 hours on weekend days.Sky Rink at Chelsea Piers
Manhattan’s only year-round skating rink is a delight that’s been around since 1965. It’s large,
indoors, and has few lines, and polite staff. It’s also, amazingly, open 24 hours a day. In the winter it
sometimes gets so cold that the ice cracks, but at least they fix it!
Prices for skating admission is $11 and skate rental $6.
Riverbank Stile Park Ice Skating Rink
This sizeable outdoor rink is open to the public Friday through Sunday, and has a roof to
prevent December snows and April rain. And since Riverbank Stale Park overlooks the Hudson,
you'll have nice views of the river and the George Washington Bridge as a backdrop.
Admission is $5 for adults, children $3. Skate rental is $6.
The Ice Kink at Rockefeller Center
Ice skating at Rockefeller Center is a truly unique New York holiday staple(重要内容). It is the
most sumptuous(豪华的)setting for skating. Since opening on Christmas Day back in 1936, this
skating rink has been an institution at the Rockefeller.
Admission is $25—$32 for adults, children up to 12 years $15, skate rental $12.
21. What can be known about the Bank of America Winter Village at Bryant Park？
A. It is the first rink opened in Manhattan s Bryant Park.

23. If a couple with their 11-year-old son goes to skate at the Ice Rink at Rockefeller Center with
their
own skating equipment, how much should they pay at least?
A. $40 B. $64 C. $65 D. $101
B
I never saw my father home from work late or ill, nor did I ever see my father take a “night out
with the boys”. He had no hobbies but just took care of his family.
For 22 years, since I left home for college, my father called me every Sunday at 9:00 am. He
was always interested in my life----how my family was doing. The calls even came when he and my
mother were in Australia, England or Florida.
Nine years ago when I bought me first house, my father, 67 years old, spent eight hours a day
for three days, painting my house. He would not allow me to pay someone to have it done. All he
asked was a glass of iced tea, and that I hold a paintbrush for him and talk to him. But I was too
busy, for I had a law practice to run, and I could not take the time to hold the paintbrush, or talk to
my father.
Five years ago, my 71-year-old father spent five hours putting together a swing set (秋千) for
my daughter. Again, all he asked was that I get him a glass of iced tea, and talk to him. But again, I
had laundry to do, and the house to clean.
The morning on Sunday, January 16, 1995, my father telephoned me as usual, this time he had
seemed to have forgotten some things we had discussed the week before. I had to get to church, and
I cut the conversation short.
The call came at 4:40 am. That day my father was sent to hospital in Florida. I got on a plane
immediately, and I vowed (发誓) that when I arrived, I would make up for the lost time, and have a
nice long talk with him and really get to know him.
I arrived in Florida at 1:00 am, but my father had passed away at 9:12 pm. This time it was he
who did not have time to talk, or time to wait for me.
In the years since his death I have learnt much about my father, and even more about every
single day.
24. We know from the reading that the father_____.
A. liked to paint houses
B. had no friends around himC. was not healthy in his youth
D. thought of his family as his all
25. When her father painted her first house, the daughter_____.
A. could only afford a glass of iced tea
B. was too busy to talk to her father
C. could do nothing but hold a paintbrush
D. spent eight hours a day working with her father
26. On January 16, 1995, the daughter felt that her father_____.
A. seemed to be a little different
B. had no time to phone her as usual
C. became interested in church
D. had forgotten to discuss some things with her
27. Which is the best title of the reading?
A. Painting Houses
B. Daughter’s Family
C. Father and I
D. Father’s phone calls
C
Any foreigner who has tried to learn Chinese can tell how hard it is to master the tones
required to speak and understand. And anyone who has tried to learn to play the violin or other
instruments can report similar challenges.
Now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning
Chinese. Writing in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience ， researchers from Northwestern
University say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes
in pitch(音调)．
One of the study's authors ， Nina Kraus ， said the findings suggested that studying music
“actually tunes our sensory system” ． This means that schools that want children to do well in
languages should hesitate before cutting music programs，Dr. Kraus said. She said music training
might also help children with language problems.
Mandarin(普通话)speakers have been shown to have a more complex encoding(编码) of pitch
patterns in their brains than English speakers do. This is because in Mandarin and other Asian
languages，pitch plays a central role. A singlesyllable word can have several meanings depending
on how it is intoned.
For this study，the researchers looked at 20 nonChinese speaking volunteers，half with no
musical background and half who have studied an instrument for at least six years.
As they were shown a movie，the volunteers also heard an audio tape of the Mandarin word
“mi” in three of its meanings：squint，bewilder and rice. The researchers recorded activities in their
brain stems to see how well they were processing the sounds. Those with a music background
showed much more brain activities in response to the Chinese sounds.
The lead author of the study，Patrick C．M. Wong，said it might work both ways. It appears
that native speakers of tonal languages may do better at learning instruments.
28. When learning Chinese, a foreigner will find ________.
A．he has a difficult time learning music at the same time
B．he has an easier time learning music at the same time
C．it is hard to master the tones required to speak and understand
D．it is easy to use the brain to help him discover changes in pitch
29. Why does Chinese learning have something to do with music training?
A．Because there is the same difficulty in learning Chinese and music.
B．Because skills to learn the two make use of the same parts of the brain.
C．Because music training might help people with language study.
D．Because people who do well in Chinese study do well in music.
30. The underlined word “intoned” in the fourth paragraph can be replaced by the word “____”．
A．created B．spelled C．seemed D．pronounced
31. What would be the best title for this passage?A．Mandarin Speakers Are Smarter than English Speakers
B．Skilled Ear for Music May Help Language Study
C．Pitch Plays a Central Role in Chinese Learning
D．Schools Need to Develop Music Programs
D
The Secretary-General of the U.N. has always been chosen in private meetings. But for the first
time in its 70-year history, part of the selection process is taking place in public.
At least eight countries have announced their candidates ( 候 选 人 ) for the position, among
whom are women, including Irina Bukova from Bulgaria, Susana Malcorra from Argentina and
Helen Clark from New Zealand. 56 countries says the next U.N. chief should be a woman. There
have been eight U.N. chiefs, none of whom was a woman.
All member states were permitted to ask the candidates questions during two hour-long
meetings last week in the U.N. General Assembly (联合国大会). The candidates were also asked
some of the 1,000 questions written by people on social media.
They were asked questions about development, how they would improve efforts to create peace
and how they would protect human rights.
The U.N. Security Council will examine the candidates’ backgrounds. Then the 15 members
will vote secretly until one person is chosen. The General Assembly will then vote on whether to
accept the choice.
Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States are the five permanent members of the
Security Council. Experts say they are likely to have more influence on who will be the new
secretary-general than the 10 non-permanent nations on the council.
The Security Council will begin to discuss who will be named the next secretary-general in July.
A new secretary-general may not be confirmed until as late as November.
The U.N. has a tradition of choosing its new leader from a part of the world different from its
current leader. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is from Asia. The previous U.N. chief was Kofi
Annan, who was from Africa.
Dan Thomas is a spokesman for the president of the General Assembly. He says there is no rule
that says where a new secretary-general must come from. But most observers say the new U.N. chief
will not be from Asia or Africa.
32. What do the first two paragraphs imply?
A. All the Secretary-Generals of the U.N. have been chosen privately.
B. Women haven’t been allowed to apply for the Secretary-General.
C. The next Secretary-General of the U.N. might be a woman.
D. The process of choosing a new secretary-general is being made public.
33. Which of the following has the final decision on who will be the next secretary-general?
A. The five permanent members of the Security Council.
B. The Security Council.
C. The 10 non-permanent nations on the council.
D. The current Secretary-General.
34. Which of the following is NOT the factor affecting whether a candidate will become the next
U.N. chief?
A. Whether he is concerned about the human right.
B. Where he is from.
C. What his background is.
D. Male or female.
35. What is the best title of the passage?
A. U.N. Seeks New Secretary-General
B. The First Female Secretary-General of the U.N.
C. A Hard Decision in U.N.’s History
D. Who can be the Secretary-General of the U.N.
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。
As we all know, the spine (脊柱) stands at the center of your health, providing your body with
structure and support. It also contains your spine cord, a massive collection of nerves sending
electric signals from the rest of your body to your brain. 36 . Maintaining good posture is one of the most important things you can do to keep your spine
healthy. Proper posture means standing or sitting while keeping your spine straight, except for its
natural curves. Posture comes into play even when you are asleep. Sleeping on your side puts less
stress on your spine than most other positions. 37 . Especially if you work at a desk most of
the day, it’s important to get up and stretch regularly.
38 . Stretch can help the muscles around your spine relax and allow bones to shift into
better arrangement. Strength exercises like push-ups (俯卧撑) can also help by strengthening the
muscles around your spine. However, don’t overdo the exercise, as repeated movements can strain
the muscles around your spine.
Finally, your diet affects the health of your spine because many vitamins are necessary for
bones and nerves. In particular, vitamins B and D are essential to keep bones healthy, so you may
want to consider taking a supplement. 39 , so it is also helpful to do some of the back
exercise outside.
Many of the actions necessary to keep your spine healthy are the same as those used to keep
your health in other ways. 40 .
A. It can be hard on your back to stay still for too long
B. So, to have a healthy spine, you should take the following factors into account
C. Try the following exercises to keep your spine more flexible
D. So protect your back, the rest of the body will benefit
E. Exercise is also an important factor in your spine’s health
F. Doing yoga to protect your spine is also a necessary step
G. However, the latter can also be absorbed from sunlight

I was playing at my cousin house. Since his family was rich than mine, he had more toys than I
did. There was a toy what I'd always wanted on particular. I put into my pocket when he wasn't
looking. I guessed, even at that age, I would never be able to enjoy to playing with the toy or face

Dear Mr. Li,
I’m glad to tell you that I have made great progress in my English study since I became a senior
high school student.
When I started senior English in the beginning, I found it much more difficult than what I
learned in junior school and I almost lost heart. Later, I realized the importance of English, so I got
up early every morning, recited English words, listened to English tapes and did a lot of exercises. I
also asked my teachers and classmates for better ways of learning English.
Now, I’m improving my English greatly. And I’m getting more and more interested in learning it.
Thank you so much for your great help in your class.
Wish you all the best.
Yours,
Li
