Central Park is New York’s largest city park and one of the biggest in the world, with an area of 843 acres (about 3.4km2). This park is home to man-made lakes, waterfalls, grass and wooded areas. You will also find the Central Park Zoo, among other attractions in this green space of New York.
Besides being the city’s primary green lungs, Central Park is also a favorite spot for many New Yorkers. It is perfect for sunbathing, going for walks, or doing any outdoor sports. Something that we found curious is seeing so many people running with their babies in prams (婴儿车).
On Foot or by Bicycle
To get to know some of the wildest parts of Central Park we suggest walking. However, to get a general feel for the whole park, the best thing to do is hire a bicycle and enjoy the scenery.
If you decide to hire a bike, you will find lots of bike rental stores around Central Park that are not very
expensive.

From 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekends.
From 6 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on weekdays.

Letting me move into my university dormitory wasn’t an easy decision for my parents. However, they knew if I wanted a good education, I’d have to live away from home. I’d always dream of living alone the life of no rules and regulations and being independent. So I was delighted about this new stage in my life.
Unexpectedly, during the first few months of living alone, I would find myself crying every day. I would call my mum every day. Coming from a big family, I was used to noises surrounding me. Therefore, the scary silence at night was th e worst. I couldn’t even sleep without keeping the lights on.
As time went by, I started enjoying the freedom that came with living alone. I could do things in my own time: eat whenever I want, wake up whenever I want. The space of loneliness was also then filled up by friends who became like family, so I started missing my family less.
When it was time to say goodbye and go back home after my graduation I was bittersweet. I’d enjoyed my time alone, learning things which wouldn’t have been possible if I had never moved away from home. But I’d also missed my family too much.
I’d learned a lot from this experience. Living alone made me value family time even more. I realized every second with them was important though I might not get the freedom while living alone.
I guess it’s different for everybody, but for me, there is no warmth in a house unless it’s filled with loving members and people you love.
24．How did the author feel before moving into the university dormitory?
A．Sad. B．Happy. C．Nervous. D．Cold.
25．What can we know about the author from paragraph 4?
A．He had mixed feelings.
B．He didn’t enjoy his time alone.
C．He has been used to the life in school.
D．He found living with his family was better than in the school.
26．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．The author felt cold living in school.
B．The author’s dormitory was the warmest place.
C．The author felt warm living with his beloved ones.
D．Everyone felt warm when living with his beloved ones.
27．What does the author want to tell us?
A．Family is the most important place in people’s life.
B．As time goes by, people can get used to what happened.
C．People can find freedom only when they leave their family.
D．People need to grow up on their own, but family plays an important role.
C
Researchers in Australia, who studied 1,500 people and their lifestyle, have found that having good friends can help you live longer. An American study of 10,000 students, over a period of 35 years, also found that if you make more friends than the average person at school, you'll receive a higher salary in later life. People need good social skills at work to manage people and work in a team successfully. These are the same skills we use to make friends at school.
On average, teenagers aged between 15 and 17 have 500 "friends" on their favourite social networking
site. Adults have 130. So if you believe this research, you might live for a long time and be very rich.
However, according to Professor Robin Dunbar from the University of Oxford, it probably won't make any difference. Dunbar studied the number of messages between users of a popular social networking website, each of whom had between 200 and 2,000 friends. He found that they always communicate with a maximum of 150 people.
Among these 150, Dunbar believes that around five people are close friends. You've mostly known them for a long time; they are probably old friends and you share all your good and bad experiences with them. Then there are ten more friends. Although they're close to you, you may not keep in touch with them every week. Next there are 35 people who you might spend time with because of a shared interest. You aren't close. And finally, there's a large group of 100. You see or speak to these people at least once a year, but you don't know them well. Beyond this number, Bunbar says, it's impossible to make any relationship meaningful.
If you have a lot of online "friends", try this experiment: First take away anyone you haven't been in touch with for a year. Then remove people you can't remember and, finally, take away friends who you wouldn't mind losing touch with. How many do you have left? How many of these people are actually good friends? According to the research, these are the only people that really matter.
28．What are the studies mentioned in the first paragraph mainly about?
A．The number of friends you should have.
B．The advantages of having a lot of friends.
C．Some social skills you may need at work.
D. Some useful advice on how to make friends.
29．According to the American study, the most popular students at school ________.
A．are likely to spend more money. B．may not be as popular at work
C．seem to get better- paid jobs. D．will work harder in later years.
30．What does the underlined part "this number" in paragraph 4 refer to?
A．10. B．35. C．100. D．150.
31．What does the text mainly want to show?
A．You need to spend more time with your friends.
B．Friends are sometimes more important than family.
C．There is a lot of research on the influence of friends.
D．It's more important to have good friends.

In 2015, Chennai was destroyed by one of the worst floods in over a century, leaving thousands without food, water and supplies. During the flood, many heroes arose, one of whom was Santosh, a young man who owned a take-out restaurant in Chennai.
When the first flood hit in November, he got a call from a company called Naga Rava. The company asked him to prepare 5,000 packets of food and give them to the flood victims. He, with his partners, took the order, cooked for 14 hours and delivered(递送) them. But that night, as they sat together discussing the event of the day, they actually felt ashamed(羞愧). “Here was a man not even from Chennai and he was going out of his way to help the affected people. We, while living here, had not really done anything ourselves for our own people,” said Santosh later.
He then began the groundwork for a collection to help cook more dishes. Little did he know that the November flood was just the beginning, and the real show was about to begin. The December flood affected them all. His own house got flooded and his family was trapped on the second floor. They lost phone connection and electricity. In spite of this, Santosh went back out into the flood, creating a kitchen and preparing food all by himself for the victims.
He did not sleep for four days, taking a one-hour break every day as he kept on cooking. As word got out about this man’s effort, others stepped out to join him. From children to the elderly, st rangers came to help him in cooking, packing and transporting food. Up to 300 volunteers worked together to make it all happen. By the time the fourth day finally came to an end, Santosh and his team had prepared 170,000 food boxes and
delivered them to people in need.
32．What inspired Santosh to help the affected people?
A．A call for help. B．His cooking skills.
C．An act of kindness of a stranger. D．The encouragement from his partners.
33．What does “the real show” in the third paragraph refer to?
A．The help and support. B．The severer flood.
C．Santosh’s family suffering. D．Santosh’s cooking more food.
34．Which of the following can best describe Santosh?

C．Selfless and caring. D．Kind and wise.
35．What is the best title for the text?
A．Many Hands Make Light Work

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。

文章介绍了作者在大学住宿时的经历。

起初作者对离开家去学校住宿感到十分的开心，但最初的几个月作者还是非常想念家人。

随着时间增长，作者和朋友的相处也变得越来越好，也没有那么想念家里了。

只有和自己珍爱的人在一起才会感觉到温暖。

24．推理判断题。

文中第一段倒数第二句及最后一句提到“I’d always dream of living alone the life of no rules and regulations and being independent. So I was delighted about this new stage in my life.”作者总是梦想着能够自由自在的独立生活，所以作者对于能够展开自己的生活的新阶段感到十分开心，delighted意为“高兴地、愉快的”，B项符合题意，故选B。

25．推理判断题。

第四段第一句提到“When it was time to say goodbye and go back home after my graduation I was bittersweet.”作者在毕业后要回家的时候有一种苦乐参半的感觉，作者很享受独处的时间，但也非常的想念自己的家人。

由此可知，这是一种复杂的感情。

A项符合文意，故选A。

26．推理判断题。

最后一段提到“there is no warmth in a house unless it’s filled with loving members and people you love.”一间屋子将不会充满温暖，除非有一屋子你爱的和爱你的人。

C项符合题意，故选C。

27．推理判断题。

文中最后三段提到，作者一方面很享受自己独处的时光，在自己独处的时间中也学习到了很多自己料想不到的事情，一方面又很挂念家中，由此可说明作者认为人要学会独立，但家庭还是扮演着非常重要的角色。

D项符合题意，故选D。

An American study of 10,000 students, over a period of 35 years, also found that if you make more friends than the average person at school, you'll receive a higher salary in later life. People need good social skills at work to manage people and work in a team successfully.(澳大利亚的研究人员对1500人及其生活方式进行了研究，发现有好朋友能帮助你长寿。

美国一项对一万名学生进行的为期35年的研究还发现，如果你在学校里交的朋友比一般人多，那么你在以后的生活中就会拿到更高的薪水。

在工作中，人们需要良好的社交技能来管理和成功地
在团队中工作)” 可知，第一段提到的研究主要是关于有很多朋友的好处。

故选B。

29．细节理解题, 根据第一段中“if you make more friends than the average person at school, you'll receive a higher salary in later life.(如果你在学校里交的朋友比一般人多，那么你在以后的生活中就会拿到更高的薪水)”可知，根据美国的这项研究，学校里最受欢迎的学生似乎能找到薪水更高的工作。

故选C。

30．词义猜测题。

根据第三段中“He found that they always communicate with a maximum of 150 people.( 他发现他们最多能和150人交流)”由此可知，Bunbar发现，人们最多只能和150人交流，超过150这个数字，和其他人的任何关系都没有意义。

故画线词“this number”指的是“150”。

故选D。

31．主旨大意题。

根据第一段中“Researchers in Australia, who studied 1,500 people and their lifestyle, have found that having good friends can help you live longer.(澳大利亚的研究人员对1500人及其生活方式进行了研究，发现有好朋友能帮助你长寿)”结合文章主要介绍了得出这项发现的研究过程，以及这项研究发现背后的意义。
