AIf 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 ParkOften visited by residents from all over the city because of its nearness to the Randall Museum,Corona HeightsDog 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 ParkThe grounds of Dolores Park once served as camps for those who were left homeless by the1906earthquake,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 ParkNoteworthy 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 ParkAt146years 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

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 differentapproach.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

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 in2010.That increased to15percent 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 tutoring②a lot of parents are too occupied to help their children with homework③children no longer get bullied for getting extra help from a tutor④many schools cannot offer as much extra help as their students needA.①②③B.①②④C.①③④D.②③④29.Between2010and2015in Canada,the number of high school students using a tutor grew by.A.seven percentB.eight percentC.ten percentD.fifteen percent30.Shelley decided to equip her children with a tutor because cause.A.her children’s school was not meeting her expectationsB.over half of her children’s classmates had tutorsC.her children’s homework was too difficult for herD.she had a hard time getting her children focused31.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 about800Canadian dollars on tutors every month.C.Most students who use a tutor have poor scores at school.ns usually place more emphasis on education than Westerners.DEven 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 than36,000people with an average age of almost63years. Participants were followed for five to six years;2,149deaths 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 about8years.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 activity34.What is the author^attitude towards the researchers'conclusion?A.DoubtfulB.CriticalC.SupportiveD.Neutral35.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word"reinforces"in the last paragraph?A.HighlightsB.ConveysC.ExcludesD.Denies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。
