If you’re new to San Francisco, paying the city a visit, or simply looking for a new
playground for you and your dog, here are four of the finest dog parks in San Francisco.
◆ Corona Heights Dog Park
Often visited by residents from all over the city because of its nearness to the Randall
Museum, Corona Heights
Dog Park offers pets and owners breathtaking views, after a steep hillside climb, and a
fenced dog area that allows dogs to let loose without a leash(狗链). Owners will also enjoy
the playground, tennis courts and basketball courts.
◆ Dolores Dog Park
The grounds of Dolores Park once served as camps for those who were left homeless
by the 1906 earthquake, but now often visited by crowds of Mission District people. Four-
legged friends can also wander about carefree off-leash while making friends with other
members of the doggie community.
◆ Pine Lake Dog Park
Noteworthy for its place as a rest stop for hundreds of species of birds to fly to and from
warmer climates, Pine Lake Park is also prized by city dogs and their owners for their nice
hiking paths, picturesque lake suited for swimming, and an off-leash area on the park's west
end that lets dogs run free.
◆ Buena Vista Dog Park
At 146 years young, Buena Vista Park is San Francisco’s oldest park. Dogs and owners
with plus energy will love burning it on this park’s steep paths and winding staircases. Dog
owners should have good control over their dogs, as it’s quite easy for dogs to get separated
when going through Buena Vista’s many twists and turns.
21. Why do dog owners take their pets to Dolores Dog Park?
A. To let them socialize. B. To give them rescue lessons.
C. To help them lose weight. D. To increase their physical activities.

D. Dogs can go climbing.B
How do you kill your time when you go to work? Most of us stare at our cell phones, and
refuse to make eye contact with others. We just read, chat with others online or play games
online. Or maybe we’re using the time between stops to do our makeup, catch up on emails,
or read a few chapters of a book. However, Dina Alfasi takes a very different approach.
Each day she has to travel hours on buses and trains to get to her engineering job at a
hospital in Israel. Rather than look at her cell phone in silence, she uses one very special
way to have connection with strangers. It is portraits of the people she meets on public
transport every day that she is taking. The photographs catch those quiet and personal
moments of people readying themselves for the day ahead. Some people lean (倚靠) their
head against the window and go to sleep, some stare into space and have a daydream, and
others sit quietly to read their documents or books. Each picture catches one tiny moment in
people’s lives, ripe with potential for your imagination. It is wonderful for her to look at
someone’s commute ( 上 下 班 ) and make up an entire story about the rest of their daily
existence, from the father travelling with a baby to the woman welcoming a change.
“What inspires me very much are the little moments that happen every day,” Dina told
My Modern Met. “My work is to tell stories through a single portrait, and it proves that all you
need is just to look around and find those magic moments.”
24. What will most people do when going to work?
A. Enjoy reading a book loudly. B. Make eye contact with others.
C. Have face-to-face talks with others. D. Concentrate on their mobile phones.
25. What makes Dina different from others?
A. Staring into the space and having a daydream.
B. Leaning against the window and relaxing herself.
C. Using her mobile phone to appreciate pictures she draws.
D. Drawing people while travelling on buses and trains to work.
26. Which word can best describe Dina Alfasi?
A. Cool. B. Careful. C. Generous. D. Considerate.
27. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Little moments make Dina special.
B. Cell phone is used to take special portraits.
C. Dina takes portraits of others while commuting.
D. People go to work with different ways to kill time.
C
Tutoring a New Normal
It's not piano lessons or dance classes. Nowadays, the biggest extracurricular activity in
the West is going to a tutor. “I spend about 800 [Canadian] dollars a month on tutors. It’s
costly,” says Pat, a mother in Canada. However, she adds, “After finding out half my
daughter’s class had tutors, I felt like my child was going to fall behind because everyone
else seemed to be ahead.”
Shelley, a mother of three, also has tutors constantly coming in and out of her
home.“When I used to sit down with my children, it was hard to get them focused. I was
always yelling. When I got a tutor once a week, they became focused for one entire hour and
could get most of their homework done.”Tutoring isn’t simply a private school phenomenon. Nor is it geared only toward lower-
achieving students. In Canada alone, seven percent of high school students reported using
a tutor in 2010. That increased to 15 percent in five years.
Overall, parents hire tutors because they are worried that schools are not meeting their
expectations, but there is also a cultural shift. A special value is placed on education in Asia,
where tutoring is viewed as an extension of the school day. With a large number of Asians
emigrating(移民)to the West in recent years, their attitudes towards education have had an
impact.
Another reason for the growth in business is parental frustration and their packed
schedules.“A lot of parents just don’t have time to help their children with homework,” says
Julie Diamond, president of an American tutoring company. “Others couldn’t help their
children after Grade Three. ”
There has been a shift in the attitudes, too. “Children used to get bullied ( 欺 侮 )for
having a tutor,” Diamond says.“Now it’s becoming the norm to have one.”
Children themselves don’t seem to mind that they have a tutor. One parent feels
surprised that so many of her child’s classmates have tutors. “For the amount we pay in
tuition, they should have as much extra help as they need,” she says. Still, she’s now
thinking of getting a tutor. Why? Her daughter has actually asked for one.
28. The tutoring business in the West has seen growth in recent years
because .
①immigrants from Asia have had an impact on people’s attitudes toward tutoring
②a lot of parents are too occupied to help their children with homework
③children no longer get bullied for getting extra help from a tutor
④many schools cannot offer as much extra help as their students need
A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C.①③④ D.②③④
29. Between 2010 and 2015 in Canada, the number of high school students using a
tutor grew by .
A. seven percent B. eight percent
C. ten percent D. fifteen percent
30. Shelley decided to equip her children with a tutor because cause .
A. her children’s school was not meeting her expectations
B. over half of her children’s classmates had tutors
C. her children’s homework was too difficult for her
D. she had a hard time getting her children focused
31. According to the article, which of the following statements is true?
A. Pat got a tutor because she couldn’t help her child with homework.
B. Shelley spends about 800 Canadian dollars on tutors every month.
C. Most students who use a tutor have poor scores at school.
D. Asians usually place more emphasis on education than Westerners.

Even a small increase in light activity such as washing dishes, or walking around the
house might help prevent an early death among older adults, researchers say
"It is important for elderly people, who might not be able to do much moderate intensity
( 强 度 )activity, that just moving around and doing light intensity activity will have strongeffects and is beneficial," said Ulf Ekelund, who led the research.
Published in the BMJ, the latest research was based on a review of eight studies
involving a total of more than 36,000 people with an average age of almost 63 years.
Participants were followed for five to six years; 2,149 deaths were recorded. All of the
studies involved monitoring the physical activity of individuals who had activity trackers, and
the studies did not rely on self-reporting, which, the experts noted, could be unreliable.
For each study participants were split into four equal-sized groups, based on the total
amount of time spent actively, and the risk of death assessed, taking into account factors
such as age, sex, body mass index, and socioeconomic status. This was then repeated for
an amount of activity at different levels of intensity. The results were analyzed together to
give an overview. The team found a greater amount of activity was linked to a lower risk of
death. The results held for different intensities of activity. The team said the study supported
the message "sit less and move more and more often".
However, the study had limitations. It only looked at the situation for middle age and
older adults, most of whom lived in the US or Europe, and some of the effect could be due to
those people with a higher risk of death being less likely to be related to physical activity.
Physical activity levels also were only measured over one period of time.
Dr Gavin Sandercock, from the University of Essex, said the results suggested moving
more brought bigger benefits than simply reducing the time of sitting, another factor
measured in the study.
"This study reinforces the important message that getting the least active people to do
even just a little bit more physical activity can have important public health benefits," he said.
32.Which of the following may Ulf Ekelund suggest elderly people do?
A. lying on the sofa reading. B. Doing a little gentle gardening,
C. Going out to hike with friends, D. Playing basketball sometimes.
33.What can we know about the research?
A. It lasted about 8 years.
B. The researchers admitted they used fake data.
C. The participants didn't include younger people.
D. Some participants died because of doing too much physical activity
34.What is the author^ attitude towards the researchers' conclusion?
A. Doubtful B. Critical C. Supportive D. Neutral
35.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word "reinforces" in
the last paragraph?
A . Highlights B. Conveys C. Excludes D. Denies

Caregivers care for someone with an illness, injury or disability. Caregiving can be
rewarding, but it can also be challenging. 36 Women especially are at risk for the
harmful health effects of caregiver stress. These health problems may include stress and
anxiety. There are ways to manage caregiver stress.
The first thing to do is learn ways to better help your loved one. 37 To find
these classes, ask your doctor or call your local Area Agency on Aging.Take time out to meditate(冥想)or reflect. Spending 10 to 20 minutes twice a day to
“clear your head” can work wonders when you’re feeling overburdened. Some caregivers
learn meditation techniques from classes or books on the subject, while others simply take
time out to quietly reflect. 38 Exercising is another good way to help mind and body
recover. It’s one of the best-known techniques for reducing stress and keeping healthy. A
quick walk several times each week gives you significant health benefits. 39 Your library
may offer exercise DVDs. Invite a friend over to join you.
40 Nursing a garden, watching a favorite TV show, or reading an article that
interests you. Your favorite hobby can help “center” you and remind you that you still have a
life outside of caregiving. You must make some time-even for 10-to take care of yourself.
A. Stress from caregiving is common.
B. Try to do something you enjoy every day.
C. You’d better keep a journal of your thoughts and feelings.
D. Find caregiving resources in your community to help you.
E. Whichever way you choose, it’s important that you focus on clearing your mind.
F. There are many good indoor choices, too, from walking in place to yoga or tai chi.
G. Some hospitals offer classes that can teach you how to care for someone with an
injury or illness.

I have the bad habit of skipping to the last pages of a book to see how it ends while I’m
still in the middle of it. This habit 41 people around me. Often my 42 wouldn’t be
confined(局限) just to the books I read but also to what others were 43 as well. Finally,
one day my daughter told me with a little 44 . “Dad, please just read a book one page
at a time like everyone else!”
At times I didn’t 45 this bad habit to just reading books either. I also tried to skip
ahead in my life and 46 what to do months and even years from now instead of 47
each day as it is intended. I knew that the book of my life wasn’t done yet and that I had
many 48 left to go. 49 , that didn’t stop me from trying to write the 50 half-
way through. Time and again, I would 51 jump ahead and try to solve every potential
problem before it 52 so I could reach that storybook happily ever after ending. Life,
however, doesn’t 53 like that. It loves to 54 us, and you never know what new
problem or opportunity each new day will bring.

to that bad habit of rushing ahead and living in the 57 again, I felt a special voice gently
telling me, “ Live one day at a time.” Then I smiled, and turned the book of my life back to the
58 page. Each of us has to live the book of life one page and one day at a time. Each of us
has to write it 59 and moment by moment. We have to trust that it will bring our 60
to its perfect end.

The novel coronavirus(冠状病毒), which 61 (originate)in the Chinese city of Wuhan
and has now spread to 12countries, has much in common 62 seasonal flu. They are
both viral infections, share similar symptoms and crucially(关键地) can spread from human
to human. In the midst of flu season in much of the northern hemisphere, 63 (tell) the
difference between the two will be vital in stopping its spread.
Human coronaviruses, of which there are four, can cause respiratory (呼吸道)infections
similar to flu: while many symptoms are mild, both can lead to pneumonia( 肺 炎 ) and
become lethal ( 致 命 的 ) . 64 , the novel coronavirus is more serious than 65
"typical influenza infection,(流感)"says Ian Jones, a professor of virology at the University of
Reading.
"This virus appears to go 66 (far) down into the lungs than would generally be the
case. Therefore, it will give you 67 (symptom) of pneumonia( 肺 炎 ): the lungs becoming
flooded, they don't function very well and the patient gets into breathing difficulty."
While the mortality rates and symptoms of flu and novel coronavirus may end up being
similar, humans’ ability 68 (fight) off the viruses differs greatly.
Human beings have naturally built up antibodies to seasonal flu and annual vaccines
69 (develop) to fight it. During a pandemic( 流 行 病 ), which the new coronavirus has the
potential to become, "there is no immunity(免疫性) in the population so you have potential
for a 70 (globe) spread," warns Jones.
