A
If you like traveling, these less known places in New York City (NYC) are sure to create good memories that last a lifetime.
The High Line Park
The High Line Park has been only recently developed, so it is one of NYC’s most beautiful places and one of the most unique (独特的) places you could ever hope to find. It is nothing like your city park. Instead of being a park of trees, grass, and benches, it is built entirely on the top of an old above ground railway line.
The Cloisters
The Cloister is a branch (分支) of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is located in northern Manhattan’s Fort Tryon Park. It is filled with gardens and medieval (中世纪的) art and buildings. If you’re looking for a memorable experience, it is sure to be a good choice.
The Dream House
If you don’t like art museums or concert halls, you can choose the Dream House on Tribeca’s Church Street. It was created in 1993 by a married couple La Monte Young, a musician, and his wife Marian Zazeela. In the Dream House, every move that visitors make in the Dream House creates a different series of sounds. Meanwhile, fantastic pink lighting guides them through their journey.
Greenacre Park
If you have ever wished you could sit next to a surprising waterfall, you can go Greenacre Park. Located in the heart of midtown Manhattan on 5lst Street, this “pocket park” has a 25-foot waterfall, quiet greenery and benches.
1. What do we know about the High Line Park?
A. It is full of tall trees.
B. It hasn’t been finished.
C. It has so many works of art.
D. It is built on the top of a railway line.

Teaching is not an easy career (职业) to go into, yet it’s one of the most important careers in a culture. The future of a country depends on the quality of education that its next generation (代) receives and the character that the children develop. Even though educators are the most important part of our schools, the structure (结构) of the education system in the United States is not set up to fully support them. In fact, it often puts them in difficult situations.
In most careers, salaries (工资) are based on education, experience, and performance. Not so with teaching. In many schools, teachers aren’t paid bas ed on their level of education or experience. Though many go into the career because of their love of teaching and working with children, being fairly rewarded for their work is a problem.
Add to the fact that many teachers have to spend their summers making enough money to support their family, so many teachers are leaving the field. A 2019 study reported that about 8% of teachers gave up the career each year. The result will soon be that there won’t be enough educators.
One of the reasons why teachers are leav ing the field is that they don’t get respect in the classroom. Disrespect, in my view, is the biggest problem that our teachers face and it has got worse in recent years.
How to improve this situation? Schools should take care of teachers in them, and our teachers need more of us to support them. They need us to raise our voices for a stronger education system that supports them. They should be offered better salaries and more chances of career improvement. These will encourage more people to be teachers.
8. How does the author like the structure of the American education system?
A. It is unsatisfying.
B. It is full of risks.
C. It fully supports teachers.
D. It puts teachers in good situations.
9. Why do many teachers fail to relax in summer vacations?
A. They need some training in teaching.
B. They have to visit students' parents.
C. They have to look after students.
D. They need to make extra money.
10. What do the teachers need most in the author’s opinion?
A. Enough respect.
B. Increase in salaries.
C. Rights to control students.
D. Teaching methods.
11. What does the author advise in the last paragraph?
A. Requiring kids to work hard at school.
B. Calling for a better education system.
C. Encouraging more people to be teachers.
D. Having a better understanding of books.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. B

故选A。

【9题详解】
细节理解题。

根据文章第三段“Add to the fact that many teachers have to spend their summers making enough money to support their family, so many teachers are leaving the field. (再加上许多教师不得不在暑假挣足够的钱来养家，所以很多教师都离开了这个领域)”可知，许多教师不能在暑假放松，是因为他们需要额外赚钱。

故选A。

故选B。

D
A study shows exposure（暴露）to more light during the day and less light at night is important for people to get healthy sleep because it helps to keep the right body clock. The results suggest that in the office environment, being exposed to either sunlight or electric lights that are rich in short wave blue light may be important for the health of workers.
To see whether the office workers get enough light to regulate（调节）their sleep wake cycle, researchers found the participants（参与者）in five government office buildings across the United States. A total of 109 people working at the offices wore light-measuring devices（仪器）for one week to do an experiment in summer, and 81 of these participants reduplicated the experiment in winter once again. The office workers wrote down their sleep and wake time. They also answered questions of their mood and sleep quality at the end of each study period.
Researchers found that people who were exposed to lots of sunlight during the morning hours, between 8 am and noon, fell asleep more quickly at night compared to those exposed to low light in the morning. Office workers who were exposed to high levels of light all day, from 8 am to 5 pm, also fell asleep more quickly.
Poor-quality sleep has been linked to health problems. Researchers say there are many easy things we can do during the day to increase our exposure to sunlight, such as looking out of the window and walking out for light during the day, especially during the morning and lunch time.
12. Where did the participants of the experiment work for?
A. The government.
B. The car factory.
C. The local school.
D. The airline company.
13. What does the underlined word "reduplicated" in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Reused.
B. Released.
C. Repeated.
D. Requested.
14. What can people do to make themselves fall asleep more easily?
A. Eat much food.
B. Drink lots of water at night.
C. Talk with friends before sleeping.
D. Expose themselves to sunlight during the day.
15. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Looking outside at night is helpful in falling asleep.
B. Staying outside all day is bad for people's health.
C. The quality of sleep influences people's health.
D. The sunlight makes people hungry during the day.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. C
本文是说明文。

一项研究表明，白天多接触光线，晚上少接触光线对人们获得健康睡眠很重要，因为它有助于保持正确的生物钟。

研究结果表明，在办公室环境中，暴露在阳光或富含短波蓝光的电灯下可能对员工的健康很重要。

【12题详解】
细节理解题。

）”可知实验参与者在政府工作，故选A项。

【13题详解】
词义猜测题。

通过文章第二段画线词所在句中的“in winter once again”可知部分研究者在冬天再次进行了这个实验，故推知，画线词意为“重复”。

故选C项。

【14题详解】

通过文章第三段“Researchers found that people who were exposed to lots of sunlight during the morning hours, between 8 am and noon, fell asleep more quickly at night compared to those exposed to low light in the morning.

从早上8点到下午5点，整天暴露在强光下的上班族，也睡得更快。

）”可知白天暴露在阳光下能使人更快入睡。
