AIf you are looking for the place that has everything, there is only one place to visit, and that’s New York. It’s a whole world in a city.The World of Theater: All of New York is a stage. And it begins with Broadway. Where else can you find so many hit shows in one place? Only in New York!The World of Music: Spend an evening with Beethoven at Lincoln Center, swing to the great jazz of Greenwich Village, or rock yourself silly at the hottest dance spots found anywhere.The World of Art: From Rembrandt to Picasso. From Egyptian tombs to Indian teepees(圆锥形帐篷). Whatever kind of art you like, you will find it in New York.The World of Fine Dining: Whether it’s roast Beijing duck in Chinatown, lasagna(烤宽面条) in Little Italy, or the finest French coq au vin found everywhere, there is a world of great taste waiting for you in New York.The World of Sights: What other city has a Statue of Liberty? A Rockefeller Center? Or a Bronx Zoo? Where else can you take a horse-drawn carriage(马车)through Central Park ? Only in New York !21. From the text we know that “Rembrandt” is most likely to be the name of a famous _________ .A. actorB. musicianC. cookD. painter22. Which of the following sights can visitors see only in New York?A. the Statue of LibertyB. the finest French coq au vinC. Arch of TriumphD. Roast Beijing Duck23. What the writer really wanted to do is to _______.A．try to persuade readers to pay a visit to New YorkB．give readers some information about New YorkC．supply readers some wonderful programmes in AmericaD．help readers to get a better understanding of New YorkBHappy birthday! Do birthdays really make people happy? Of course they do. Birthdays celebrate the day we were born. Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggests another year of growth and maturity(成熟)—or so we hope. We all like to imagine that we’re getting wiser and not just older. Most of us enjoy seeing the miracle of growth in others, as well. For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud. For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process. Butgrowing old? That’s a different story.Growing old is not exactly pleasant for people in youth-oriented(以年轻为主导的) American culture. Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, “You’re as young as you feel.” Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom. But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at heart”.Many older Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden. Economically, “senior citizens” often struggle just to get by. Retirement at age 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income. Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference. Older people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care and housing. Some even experience age discrimination (歧视). In 1987, American sociologist Pat Moore dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets. She was often treated rudely—even cheated and robbed. However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect.Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast. Why? People are living together. Fewer babies are being born. And middle-aged “baby boomers”(出生率高峰期出生的人)are rapidly entering the groups of the elderly. America may soon be a place where wrinkles (皱纹) are “in”. Marketing experts are already noticing this group of consumers(消费者).24. which is the correct statement according to the third paragraph?A. many old people in America are suffering age discriminationB. the golden years can make the old earn lots of moneyC. the old in America have to retire at the age of 65D. American socia l security benefits are good25. From the last paragraph we know that the underlined word “in” can be replacedby ________.A. littleB. badC. disappearingD. popular26.

Companies will soon produce more goods for old Americans.CThere once was a little boy who wanted to meet the king. He set off, walking towards the king’s castle. After many years of walking, the king’s castle came into his view. However, as the boy drew closer to the outside of the castle, the guards noticed him.“Get out of here!” ordered the guards.Well, the li ttle boy didn’t have to be told twice. He turned…and ran. All he wanted to do was to tell the king wonderful things, and see all the beautiful things in the king’s hous e. But he couldn’t even get near the castle! The boy finally stopped running, sat down and cried.A young man happened to be coming down the path at the very moment. He saw the little boy and stopped. “What’s wrong, young man?” he asked.“Sir, I walked and walked just to see the king. But these guards made me scared. I wanted to tell the king how lovely everything is and just tell the king that I just wanted to see him!”The man looked at the little boy thoughtfully. “Look, why don’t you try again. I’ll com e with you this time.”The little boy got up and took the man’s hand. The king’s guards spotted them.“Look, mister, we don’t have to do this…I don’t want you to get hurt. We can just turn around now.”The man held the little boy’s hand and went on. The bo y really thought the man might be crazy until he looked back up at the guards. They were all smiling now. The little boy was amazed.“Who are you?” asked the little boy in astonishment.“Why, I’m the king’s son. You can enter the castle and be with the king.” said the man.The little boy broke into a huge smile.28. Why did the boy want to see the king?A. T o get some help from the king.B.

You canmake your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow up while gently letting him know that you will still be there for him when he needs you.Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving, parents should consider everything else open to negotiate(商量) with their child. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that he’ll clam up. Instead, let him attempt to solve things by himself. At the same time, remind him that you’re always there for him if he should seek advice or help. Show respect for your teen ager’s privacy（隐私）. Never read his mail or listen in on personal conversations.However, teaching your teenager something necessary is essential when he or she is growing up. For example, the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for 15 minutes, and then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation （节制）. Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager to have his own phone as long as he pays for it with his own pocket money or by doing a part-time job.32. The main purpose of the text is to tell parents____.A. how to control a teenagerB. how to respect a teenagerC. how to understand a teenagerD. how to help a teenager grow up33. What does th e phrase “clam up” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. become excitedB. show respectC. refuse to talkD. seek for help34. The last paragraph is about how to teach a teenager_______.A. to pay for his own telephoneB. to use the phone in a proper wayC. to share the phone with friendsD. to answer the phone quickly35. What should parents do in raising a teenager according to the text?A. Driving carelessly or taking drugs can be discussed.B. Give him advice only when necessary.C. Let him have his own telephone.D. Try to control every aspect of their children’s lives.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。
