These wonderful NYC attractions offer pay-what-you-wish days, free entry hours/days and other great stuff for local families.

Staten Island Zoo

There are plenty of creatures who call NYC home—the Staten Island Zoo is one of them. Once you’ve finished learning about the wildlife in the animal nursery, reptile (爬行动物) side rooms, horse barn and other areas of the attraction, make sure to mark your schedule for fun seasonal happenings, such as the Easter Egg Games and the scary, crazy Halloween Shows.

Entry on Wednesdays is by suggested donation; children aged two and under free.

Children’s Museum of the Arts

The Children’s Museum of the Arts welcome 135,000 little visitors each year through its doors. Once inside, the whole family can enjoy interactive programs, exhibitions (展览) and events that celebrate the changed power of the arts on youngsters and grown-ups alike.

Pay-as-you-wish Thursdays, 3-6 p.m.

Wave Hill

Everyone needs a few hours of calm now and then—kids included—and you’d be hard-pressed to find a more peaceful spot within city limits than Wave Hill, the broad grounds located above the river, covering 28 acres of public gardens, plus woodlands and grasses to wander. Jump in on nature walks, story times and family art projects often led by local artists and free with general admission.

Pay-as-you-wish Tuesdays and Saturdays, 9 a.m.-moon.

New York Hall of Science

Naturally, kids love it when the New York Hall of Science pleases them with neat exhibits and fun hands-on activities. The museum’s playground is the most attractive to children. A tube slide (管道滑梯) will give little ones the knowledge on science topics, while the climbing area mirrors a giant spider web. There are also wind pipes, metal drums, sandboxes and much more. What better way to make the most out of science?

Free entry Sep-Jun on Fridays, 2-5 p.m., and Sundays, 10-11 a.m.

In the past, most people received their news from newspapers, magazines, radio and TV. But now, almost anyone can report and publish on the Internet and share it as news through social media. But the problem is that not all of the information is true and not all of the reporting is trustworthy.

Howard Schneider, a former editor of the newspapers Newsday, started the Center for News Literacy (素养) at Stony Book University in 2007. The center has multiple projects, but the most famous one is a course to teach news literacy. The course trains students to look for various details that may indicate the truth of the story.

Michelle Sheng is a third-year student at the University of Michigan. Sheng finds that students either just stop reading the news or only take news from one source that they trust. “A lot of people are tired of the news. People are too busy to keep up with the news, and it is really easy to take whatever news is given to you because you don’t have the time to figure it out yourself,” she says.

For her part, Sheng recently created a digital exhibit for the university library of images to educate students on steps they can take to better analyze the news.

It is important to educate an even larger audience, beyond American university students. The Center for News Literacy has developed teaching resources, as well as a free online news literacy course. It is also trying to reach a younger audience. It has partnered with several secondary schools in the American state of New York to teach news literacy.

People should research and confirm what they read online. However, to change human behavior is a difficult thing, but that really is the only thing that is going to help. The biggest problem is not getting people to be able to recognize bad journalism or false news, but getting people to want to recognize it. Our brains are wired to the Internet to seek out information that agrees with our current beliefs.

4. What’s purpose of the course “News Literacy”?

A. To teach students good habits of using information online.

B. To train students to tell true information from the false.

C. To make people realize the risk on the Internet.

D. To get rid of false information on the Internet.

5. Why do students have difficulty judging the truth of news?

A. They lack time to check its realness. B. They lack news resources.

C. They are bored with news.  D. They are too lazy.

6. What does the Center try to do besides teaching university students?

A. Found several secondary schools. B. Prevent children going online.

C. Improve the service online. D. Educate the public.

7. What did the author suggest doing to solve the problem of false news?

A. Only trusting reliable information. B. Questioning all the news online.

C. Changing human behaviors. D. Seeing is believing.

Many Americans experience surprise (or disappointment) when they wake up on Christmas Day. They might be surprised or disappointed by a family member’s actions. They might be happy or unhappy about a Christmas gift. Imagine a child expects to get an Xbox or PlayStation for Christmas. On Christmas morning, they quickly open their gift. Inside is an English grammar book. They might feel disappointed. The Everyday Grammar team would prefer the new English grammar book. But if you are like most young people, you would probably rather have a new video game.

Today, we are going to explore those feelings—feelings of surprise and disappointment. In other words, we are going to explore how speakers show that reality was better or worse than their expectations.

Many languages use words to express expectation. Speakers also use words to express how events are not happening as expected. This idea is known as “counter expectation”.

Do not worry about the term. Just remember that it means that speakers use words to show that reality is countering their expectations.

English has many words that serve this purpose. Three of the most common are the words “even”, “still” and “actually”. You will often hear them in informal, everyday speech. Speakers use these words to show disappointment. The pitch (声调) of their voice tells you what they mean. Let’s study examples of each word.

Speakers often use the word “even” to show disappointment or surprise. Imagine a young child that expects a phone call from a family member—perhaps an uncle or grandparent. The phone call never comes. The child might say the following: “What’s wrong with him? He didn’t even call me on Christmas day.” Americans sometimes use “still” for showing how reality does not quite meet their expectations: “You’re still here? It’s over! Go home. Go!” Another common word that shows surprise or disappointment is “actually”: “I can’t believe it! Uncle Bob actually stole her Christmas gift.”

8. What might most young Americans prefer as a Christmas gift according to paragraph 1?

A. An English grammar book. B. A newly made video game.

C. A new designed school bag. D. A unique jacket from their parents.

9. What does the underlined phrase “counter expectation” in paragraph 3 mean?

A. Expression of disappointment. B. Something expected to happen.

C. The same with one’s expectation. D. A result against what is expected.

10. What do the tree words “eve”, “still” and “actually” have in common?

A. They express disappointment. B. They are easy to understand.

C. They show delighted feelings. D. They are used most at Christmas.

11. What’s the last paragraph mainly about?

A. Expectations from loved ones. B. Different uses of the three words.

C. Examples of the use of the three words. D. Emotions of disappointment and surprise.

D

For almost as long as people have walked on Earth, they have looked up at the moon and wondered: How did the moon get there? How long has it been there? Scientists have studied these questions. And now, a group of researchers from California have an answer. Based on their studies, they think the moon is 4.51 billion years old.

For years, researchers have been studying the many rocks American astronauts brought back from the moon between 1969 and 1972. The early rock studies led many scientists to think the moon was formed long ago—about 4.3 billion years ago.

Scientists believe the moon was created when a huge rocky object about the size of Mars struck a very young Earth. Then some of the pieces from that violent crash came together in space to form the moon. But that estimated (估计的) age, 4.3 billion years, created a problem for scientists. That is because it does not leave much time for life to get started and develop on planet Earth.

Researchers wanted a better, more exact estimate of when the moon was formed. They found their answer by studying a moon rock brought back to Earth in 1971. They looked closely for signs of a matter in the rock called zircon (锆石). And they found out that the moon is actually older. The moon didn’t form at 4.3 billion years old, but it formed at least 4.51 billion years old.

Those extra years solves the problem of life on Earth. And this solution gives scientists a better understanding of how life formed here and how it might form on other planets.

The new information means the moon was orbiting Earth just 60 million years after the birth of our solar system, Then the earth had much more time to cool down, form the atmosphere, form the water and then finally had all the conditions met for life.

12. How did the moon come into being?

A. By breaking away from Earth. B. By a solar storm caused by Earth.

C. By gathering other small planets in space. D. By a big crash between a huge object and Earth.

13. What’s the problem with the estimated age of the moon before?

A. It is based on a false rock.  B. It led to a wrong idea on the birth of Earth.

C. It doesn’t explain the origin of life on Earth. D. It was misled by the rocks brought from the moon.

14. What was the key factor in the study?

A. A matter called zircon.  B. The previous conclusion.

C. A theory about life on Earth. D. The understanding of the moon.

15. What is the best title of this text?

A. The Moon Brought Life to Earth B. New Discovery Puzzles Scientists

C. The Moon Is 4.5 Billion Years Old D. Man Is Always Curious about the Moon

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。

Here are four tips to help you prepare a better cup of coffee from the comfort of your kitchen:

Start with good materials.

At its simplest, a cup of coffee consists of two things: coffee and water.    16    Therefore, choosing good water is very important for creating good coffee at home.

When it comes to the other main material, it goes beyond just buying “good” coffee. Try choosing fresh coffee. Like some fruits, coffee will go bad with time, and the unique flavors will start to fade away.

Get a good coffee grinder (研磨机).

Good grinders run coffee beans through two gear-like circles. They allow for a more uniform grind size compared to common grinders, although they tend to be bigger and more expensive. There are mechanized grinders and hand control ones.    17  

Develop Your Recipe.

The proportion (比例) of coffee to water is a personal thing. Walimaki likes a 1:16 proportion.    18    “The right proportion,” she says, “will do magic to like the flavors of your coffee.” If that math is hard in your head, try starting out with 60 grams of coffee to one liter of water as a baseline.

   19  

Don’t expect to become some kind of expert taster overnight. Walimaki notes, “The more you taste something, the better you’re going to get at identifying what s good and what s bad. If you’re having trouble naming what you taste, try using a flavor wheel—a handy tool that can help you pick out exactly what you’re tasting.    20    And it gets more specific towards the edges (边缘).”

A. Learn to describe what you taste.

B. That is one part coffee to 16 parts water.

C. There can be more to coffee than just what’s in your cup.

D. The taste of your water will affect the taste of your coffee.

E. It starts with more general tastes in the center like fruit and nut.

F. Drink your morning coffee at home while catching up on the news.

G. By breaking up beans yourself at home, you can choose your preferred powder.

In order to relieve the stress on us students, a 20-kilometer-long hiking will be organized next week.

To begin with, the hiking is scheduled on next Thursday from 8 a. m. to 2 p. m. We will set out at the schoolgate and the route will carry us by the Renmin Park, City Museum, Great Theatre and finally Peace Park in the rural area. Because the hiking is long, you should take enough water and protect yourselves from being sunburnt during the activity.

Hopefully, you will make it and will have a great time.
