It’s almost time for that long-awaited vacation, and you’re starting to make plans. With so many destination choices, how do you decide where to go? Here are some of the best things New York City has to offer.
Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island
The iconic (标志性) copper-green Statue of Liberty stands on a small island in NewYork Harbor, casting a protective shadow (阴影) over neighboring Ellis Island, the site of an Immigration (移民) Museum. Still symbolic today, these two landmarks served as an inspiring gateway through which over 12 million soon-to-be-Americans passed from1892 to 1924.

Coney Island
Coney Island owns a wide beach, a popular seaside boardwalk and a lively amusement park, all reachable by subway from Manhattan. Popular attractions include the family-friendly New York Aquarium (水族馆) , Nathan’s Famous hot dogs, Deno's Wonder Wheel and thrill-filled Luna Park, the wooden Cyclone rollercoaster-a city and national historic landmark.
Planning tip: Walk to nearby Brighton Beach for classic Russian and Ukrainian eats.
Empire State
The tallest building in the world when it opened in 1931, the 434 metres EmpireState Building remains a much-loved character on the NYC skyline. Views from the outdoor, 360-degree view, 86th-floor deck and the indoor 102nd-floor observatory are breathtaking, though-particularly at sunset.
Planning tip: Buy tickets in advance.
Bronx Zoo and New York Botanical Gardens
Who’d have thought the American biggest and oldest zoo is in NYC? The BronxZoo hosts 6000-plus animals in 265 acres of specially designed habitats (栖息地) . Next to it is the New York Botanical Garden, a 250-acre, year-round nature showcase with dozens of gardens included in your ticket.
Planning tip: Smaller but impressive zoos can also be found at Central Park.

Heritages are unique and precious characteristics of a society that are passed down through generations. Without particular preservation efforts, many of these become lost in time. Africa is a continent with rich cultural heritage. Traditions like folk tales and dances by the moonlight, poem and other unique activities make up a large part of cultural heritage in Africa.
Uganda’s Ekyogero traditional herbal (药草) bath is a famous tradition. It is a bath for newborn babies that is popular in many communities in Uganda. According to the culture, it makes the child strong and physically healthy. It is a herbal bath that is used to wash the baby and give it smooth skin. It is believed to bring good luck to the newborn and drive away curses (祸根) . It is also believed that modern medicine does not have answers for every condition. In fact, a lot of modern medical treatments are based on traditional applications of herbs.
One unique thing about the Wodaabe people of Niger is the Guérewol competition. It is an annual marriage competition that has young men dancing and singing while dressed up with decorations and painted faces. As they dance and sing, they pat (轻拍) their eyes and show off their teeth to look more attractive. They intend to have one of the young girls of marriageable age fall in love with them and their skills.
Among the Maasai people of Kenya and Northern Tanzania spitting is a sign of respect and honor. It is also seen as a form of positive greeting. If one spits on one’ s hands, which are then used to shake someone’s hand, it means a friendly greeting. When done on a single person, especially a baby, it means blessings (祝福) . Also, when a father spits on his daughter on her wedding day, it means wishes and blessings for a beautiful home.
Today, most of the world is returning to its traditional ways or ideas. If countries like China, India, and Japan, who have long followed their traditional culture are doing well now, then Africa can do so too. It is time for Africans to get back to their roots by remembering and rebuilding their traditions. By taking part in a return to traditions, Africans will rebuild their diversity (多样性) of cultural heritage.
4. What do we know about the Ekyogero herbal bath?
A. It’s a practice in the countryside of Uganda. B. It is a modern baby care practice.
C. It becomes unpopular in modern times. D. It offers physical and spiritual benefits.
5. Why do young men dance and sing in the Guérewol competition?

C. To attract young girls. D. To display their costume.
6. How does a Maasai father express blessings to his wedding daughter?
A. By shaking her hand. B. By patting her eyes.
C. By showing off his teeth. D. By spitting on his daughter.
7. What is the writer’s attitude towards Africa’s recovering its heritage?
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Unconcerned. D. Worried.

If you ask a Chinese friend, especially an elderly one, to recommend a popular form of exercise or workout, the answer will most likely be Taijiquan, commonly known as Tai Chi Chuan or Tai Chi in English, a special type of martial arts (Wushu).
Today, there is growing evidence (证据) from around the world showing that this mind-body practice can play an important role in treating or preventing many health problems and slowing aging.
In Chinese philosophy (哲学), Taiji is the final source and motive force behind all things and phenomena (现象) in the universe. It also produces the two primary elements of the universe, namely, yin and yang, and the cultural understanding of the unity of heaven and humanity.
The roots of Taijiquan are also closely connected with traditional Chinese medicine. For instance, traditional Chinese medicine holds that qi, or life energy, must be able to move freely throughout the body in order to keep good health and the balance of mind and spirit. And practice of Taijiquan is believed to be one of the best means to unblock the flow of qi. This element has proved that it can benefit (使受益) people of all ages, particularly for the elderly.
Studies around the world suggest that Taijiquan has a number of specific health benefits, such as reducing stress, anxiety; improving mood, increasing energy, and bettering one’s balance and quickness. Other evidence shows that the exercise may help improve the quality of sleep, lower blood pressure, improve overall well-being, and reduce risk of falls among the elderly.
As a daily practice, it requires no special equipment. In aerobic (有氧的) exercise we’re taught to tense the muscle and push hard. Tai Chi is the opposite; it’s about the flow of the whole body in the movement. In order to unite human beings with the natural world, Taijiquan imitates (模仿) motions found in nature, such as movements of animals. Those movements all have very poetic names like “waving hands like clouds”.
8. What’s the purpose of practicing Tai Chi according to the text?
A. To promote a typical type of martial arts.
B. To apply the philosophy of yin and yang.
C. To serve as a form of traditional Chinese medicine.
D. To improve physical health and mental well-being.
9. What does Paragraph 3 mainly discuss?
A. Natural phenomenon. B. Taiji’s philosophical meaning.
C. The construction of the universe. D. The harmony between man and nature.
10. How does Tai Chi benefit the elderly particularly?
A. It removes stress and anxiety. B. It prevents blood pressure.
C. It leads to a free flow of qi. D. It builds muscle strength.
11. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Tai Chi: A Fitness Art B. Tai Chi: A Chinese Philosophy
C. Tai Chi: A Medicine of Mind D. Tai Chi: An Ancient Practice
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了太极拳,一种中国武术,以及它对身体和精神健康的益处。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Today, there is growing evidence (证据) from around the world showing that this mind-body practice can play an important role in treating or preventing many health problems and slowing aging.(今天,来自世界各地越来越多的证据表明,这种身心练习在治疗或预防许多健康问题和延缓衰老方面发挥着重要作用)”以及第五段“Studies around the world suggest that Taijiquan has a number of specific health benefits, such as reducing stress, anxiety; improving mood, increasing energy, and bettering one’s balance and quickness. Other evidence shows that the exercise may help improve the quality of sleep, lower blood pressure, improve overall well-being, and reduce risk of falls among the elderly.(世界各地的研究表明,太极拳有许多具体的健康益处,比如减轻压力、焦虑;改善情绪,增加能量,改善人的平衡和敏捷。其他证据表明,锻炼可能有助于改善睡眠质量,降低血压,改善整体健康状况,并降低老年人跌倒的风险。)”可知,练习太极拳的目的是增进身心健康。故选D。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“In Chinese philosophy (哲学), Taiji is the final source and motive force behind all things and phenomena (现象) in the universe. It also produces the two primary elements of the universe, namely, yin and yang, and the cultural understanding of the unity of heaven and humanity.(在中国哲学中,太极是宇宙万物和现象背后的最终源泉和动力。它还产生了宇宙的两个基本元素,即阴阳,以及对天人合一的文化理解)”可知,第三段主要讨论了太极的哲学意义。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“And practice of Taijiquan is believed to be one of the best means to unblock the flow of qi. This element has proved that it can benefit (使受益) people of all ages, particularly for the elderly.(而练习太极拳被认为是疏通气源的最好方法之一。事实证明,这一元素对所有年龄段的人都有好处,尤其是对老年人)”可知,太极拳导致气的自由流动,对老年人特别有好处。故选C。

D
Every organization has tons of important data to protect. Important business data, customers’ personal information, and confidential documents that should not be shown to outsiders are a few examples. The safety of data is only made possible by using network safety tools and skills.
The importance of network safety in the modern business has increased since a large part of the workforce started working remotely (远程) . Today, office information systems are spread in one huge network across many areas. A centralized system to protect network devices from being attacked doesn’t exist as it did before. This design leaves more vulnerable (脆弱) points that hackers (黑客) can take advantage of.
A cybercriminal (网络犯罪) can find these vulnerable points and cause damage to the system inside. An incident like this will lead to loss of funds, confidential information, and customer data, and it will also destroy the name of the business.
In March 2020, Marriott International suffered a major data attack in which the information of 5. 2 million guests was accessed (获取) using the login information of two employees. Twitter wasn’t spared from attacks. Strong network safety techniques are modern-day necessities for the survival of businesses, but more than that, network safety awareness has also become the need of the hour.
For today’s businesses, network safety is not limited to IT professionals and companies connected with it. Network safety is for everyone - lawyers, designers, musicians, bankers, and others will all find a network safety system beneficial for their work and business. By fixing network safety system and training employees on it, a small business will make its employees more responsible, a law office will better protect its data, and a designer will find more effective ways to control their important documents.
12. What does the underlined word “confidential” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Public. B. Informal. C. Secret. D. Unimportant.
13. What probably endangers the network safety?
A. The absence of the centralized safety system. B. The poor modern business environment.
C. The design of the network system. D. The popularity of working remotely.
14. Why does the author mention Marriott International and Twitter?
A. To stress their high position in business.
B. To express the need to protect the network.
C. To show the threat of remote work to networks.
D. To state the effective measures of big companies.
15. What can be learned about network safety from the text?
A. Its changes and weaknesses. B. Its difficulties and courses.
C. Its crimes and effects. D. Its challenges and solutions.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章主要讲述了网络安全所遇到的挑战,强调了保护网络安全对现代商业及各行各业人们的重要性,提出了相应的措施。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Important business data, customers’ personal information, and confidential documents that should not be shown to outsiders are a few examples. (重要的商业数据、客户的个人信息和不应该对外展示的confidential文件就是几个例子。)”中的定语从句“that should not be shown to outsiders”可知,confidential文件应该是指不应对外展示的秘密文件,故confidential表示“秘密的”。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“A centralized system to protect network devices from being attacked doesn’t exist as it did before. This design leaves more vulnerable (脆弱) points that hackers (黑客) can take advantage of. (保护网络设备免受攻击的集中式系统不像以前那样存在,这种设计留下了更多容易被黑客利用的脆弱点。)”可知,集中式安全系统的缺席可能会危及网络安全。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Strong network safety techniques are modern-day necessities for the survival of businesses, but more than that, network safety awareness has also become the need of the hour. (强大的网络安全技术是现代企业生存的必需品,但更重要的是,网络安全意识也成为了时代的需要。)”可知,该段提到了Marriott International和Twitter,是为了表达保护网络安全的必要性。故选B。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“A cybercriminal (网络犯罪) can find these vulnerable points and cause damage to the system inside. An incident like this will lead to loss of funds, confidential information, and customer data, and it will also destroy the name of the business. (网络罪犯可以找到这些弱点,并对系统内部造成破坏。这样的事件会导致资金、机密信息和客户数据的损失,也会破坏企业的声誉。)”、第四段“In March 2020, Marriott International suffered a major data attack in which the information of 5. 2 million guests was accessed (获取) using the login information of two employees. Twitter wasn’t spared from attacks. (2020年3月,万豪国际遭受了一次重大数据攻击,其中520万名客人的信息被两名员工的登录信息访问而获取。推特也未能幸免于攻击。)”可知,文章讲述了网络安全所遇到的挑战;根据第一段“The safety of data is only made possible by using network safety tools and skills. (数据的安全只有通过使用网络安全工具和技能才能实现。)”和最后一段“By fixing network safety system and training employees on it, a small business will make its employees more responsible, a law office will better protect its data, and a designer will find more effective ways to control their important documents. (通过固定网络安全系统并培训员工,小企业将使其员工更负责任,律师事务所将更好地保护其数据,设计师将找到更有效的方法来控制他们的重要文件。)”可知,文章提出了保护网络安全的解决方法。故选D。

【答案】Dear editors,
Since entering senior high school, I’ve faced several challenges. Academically, the courses are much more difficult, especially math and English. The heavy workload of homework and assignments also made it hard to balance study and life. Socially, making new friends wasn’t as easy as I thought.
To overcome these, I made a detailed study-plan to manage my time better for study. For math and English, I asked teachers and classmates for help and did more exercises. When it came to making friends, I actively participated in school activities and joined some clubs.
Now, I feel more confident and adapted to senior high school life. I believe challenges are opportunities for growth.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

It’s almost time for that long-awaited vacation, and you’re starting to make plans. With so many destination choices, how do you decide where to go? Here are some of the best things New York City has to offer.
Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island
The iconic (标志性) copper-green Statue of Liberty stands on a small island in NewYork Harbor, casting a protective shadow (阴影) over neighboring Ellis Island, the site of an Immigration (移民) Museum. Still symbolic today, these two landmarks served as an inspiring gateway through which over 12 million soon-to-be-Americans passed from1892 to 1924.
Planning tip: Take Boats to the Statue of Liberty and book tickets ahead.
Coney Island
Coney Island owns a wide beach, a popular seaside boardwalk and a lively amusement park, all reachable by subway from Manhattan. Popular attractions include the family-friendly New York Aquarium (水族馆) , Nathan’s Famous hot dogs, Deno's Wonder Wheel and thrill-filled Luna Park, the wooden Cyclone rollercoaster-a city and national historic landmark.
Planning tip: Walk to nearby Brighton Beach for classic Russian and Ukrainian eats.
Empire State
The tallest building in the world when it opened in 1931, the 434 metres EmpireState Building remains a much-loved character on the NYC skyline. Views from the outdoor, 360-degree view, 86th-floor deck and the indoor 102nd-floor observatory are breathtaking, though-particularly at sunset.
Planning tip: Buy tickets in advance.
Bronx Zoo and New York Botanical Gardens
Who’d have thought the American biggest and oldest zoo is in NYC? The BronxZoo hosts 6000-plus animals in 265 acres of specially designed habitats (栖息地) . Next to it is the New York Botanical Garden, a 250-acre, year-round nature showcase with dozens of gardens included in your ticket.
Planning tip: Smaller but impressive zoos can also be found at Central Park.
1. Which is the best choice for visitors to enjoy with their families?
A. Coney Island B. Empire State
C. Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island D. Bronx Zoo and New York Botanical Gardens
2. What do we know about Empire State?
A. It can be reachable by boat. B. It is the tallest building nowadays.
C. Views from the building are eye-catching. D. Visitors can learn about the American history.
3. The passage is most likely taken from _______.
A. a diary B. a travel brochure C. a book review D. a research report
B
Heritages are unique and precious characteristics of a society that are passed down through generations. Without particular preservation efforts, many of these become lost in time. Africa is a continent with rich cultural heritage. Traditions like folk tales and dances by the moonlight, poem and other unique activities make up a large part of cultural heritage in Africa.
Uganda’s Ekyogero traditional herbal (药草) bath is a famous tradition. It is a bath for newborn babies that is popular in many communities in Uganda. According to the culture, it makes the child strong and physically healthy. It is a herbal bath that is used to wash the baby and give it smooth skin. It is believed to bring good luck to the newborn and drive away curses (祸根) . It is also believed that modern medicine does not have answers for every condition. In fact, a lot of modern medical treatments are based on traditional applications of herbs.
One unique thing about the Wodaabe people of Niger is the Guérewol competition. It is an annual marriage competition that has young men dancing and singing while dressed up with decorations and painted faces. As they dance and sing, they pat (轻拍) their eyes and show off their teeth to look more attractive. They intend to have one of the young girls of marriageable age fall in love with them and their skills.
Among the Maasai people of Kenya and Northern Tanzania spitting is a sign of respect and honor. It is also seen as a form of positive greeting. If one spits on one’ s hands, which are then used to shake someone’s hand, it means a friendly greeting. When done on a single person, especially a baby, it means blessings (祝福) . Also, when a father spits on his daughter on her wedding day, it means wishes and blessings for a beautiful home.
Today, most of the world is returning to its traditional ways or ideas. If countries like China, India, and Japan, who have long followed their traditional culture are doing well now, then Africa can do so too. It is time for Africans to get back to their roots by remembering and rebuilding their traditions. By taking part in a return to traditions, Africans will rebuild their diversity (多样性) of cultural heritage.
4. What do we know about the Ekyogero herbal bath?
A. It’s a practice in the countryside of Uganda. B. It is a modern baby care practice.
C. It becomes unpopular in modern times. D. It offers physical and spiritual benefits.
5. Why do young men dance and sing in the Guérewol competition?
A. To make marriage funds. B. To celebrate the spring.
C. To attract young girls. D. To display their costume.
6. How does a Maasai father express blessings to his wedding daughter?

If you ask a Chinese friend, especially an elderly one, to recommend a popular form of exercise or workout, the answer will most likely be Taijiquan, commonly known as Tai Chi Chuan or Tai Chi in English, a special type of martial arts (Wushu).
Today, there is growing evidence (证据) from around the world showing that this mind-body practice can play an important role in treating or preventing many health problems and slowing aging.
In Chinese philosophy (哲学), Taiji is the final source and motive force behind all things and phenomena (现象) in the universe. It also produces the two primary elements of the universe, namely, yin and yang, and the cultural understanding of the unity of heaven and humanity.
The roots of Taijiquan are also closely connected with traditional Chinese medicine. For instance, traditional Chinese medicine holds that qi, or life energy, must be able to move freely throughout the body in order to keep good health and the balance of mind and spirit. And practice of Taijiquan is believed to be one of the best means to unblock the flow of qi. This element has proved that it can benefit (使受益) people of all ages, particularly for the elderly.
Studies around the world suggest that Taijiquan has a number of specific health benefits, such as reducing stress, anxiety; improving mood, increasing energy, and bettering one’s balance and quickness. Other evidence shows that the exercise may help improve the quality of sleep, lower blood pressure, improve overall well-being, and reduce risk of falls among the elderly.
As a daily practice, it requires no special equipment. In aerobic (有氧的) exercise we’re taught to tense the muscle and push hard. Tai Chi is the opposite; it’s about the flow of the whole body in the movement. In order to unite human beings with the natural world, Taijiquan imitates (模仿) motions found in nature, such as movements of animals. Those movements all have very poetic names like “waving hands like clouds”.
8. What’s the purpose of practicing Tai Chi according to the text?
A. To promote a typical type of martial arts.
B. To apply the philosophy of yin and yang.
C. To serve as a form of traditional Chinese medicine.
D. To improve physical health and mental well-being.
9. What does Paragraph 3 mainly discuss?
A. Natural phenomenon. B. Taiji’s philosophical meaning.
C. The construction of the universe. D. The harmony between man and nature.
10. How does Tai Chi benefit the elderly particularly?
A. It removes stress and anxiety. B. It prevents blood pressure.
C. It leads to a free flow of qi. D. It builds muscle strength.
11. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Tai Chi: A Fitness Art B. Tai Chi: A Chinese Philosophy
C. Tai Chi: A Medicine of Mind D. Tai Chi: An Ancient Practice
D
Every organization has tons of important data to protect. Important business data, customers’ personal information, and confidential documents that should not be shown to outsiders are a few examples. The safety of data is only made possible by using network safety tools and skills.
The importance of network safety in the modern business has increased since a large part of the workforce started working remotely (远程) . Today, office information systems are spread in one huge network across many areas. A centralized system to protect network devices from being attacked doesn’t exist as it did before. This design leaves more vulnerable (脆弱) points that hackers (黑客) can take advantage of.
A cybercriminal (网络犯罪) can find these vulnerable points and cause damage to the system inside. An incident like this will lead to loss of funds, confidential information, and customer data, and it will also destroy the name of the business.
In March 2020, Marriott International suffered a major data attack in which the information of 5. 2 million guests was accessed (获取) using the login information of two employees. Twitter wasn’t spared from attacks. Strong network safety techniques are modern-day necessities for the survival of businesses, but more than that, network safety awareness has also become the need of the hour.
For today’s businesses, network safety is not limited to IT professionals and companies connected with it. Network safety is for everyone - lawyers, designers, musicians, bankers, and others will all find a network safety system beneficial for their work and business. By fixing network safety system and training employees on it, a small business will make its employees more responsible, a law office will better protect its data, and a designer will find more effective ways to control their important documents.
12. What does the underlined word “confidential” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Public. B. Informal. C. Secret. D. Unimportant.
13. What probably endangers the network safety?
A. The absence of the centralized safety system. B. The poor modern business environment.
C. The design of the network system. D. The popularity of working remotely.
14. Why does the author mention Marriott International and Twitter?
A. To stress their high position in business.
B. To express the need to protect the network.
C. To show the threat of remote work to networks.
D. To state the effective measures of big companies.
15. What can be learned about network safety from the text?
A. Its changes and weaknesses. B. Its difficulties and courses.
C. Its crimes and effects. D. Its challenges and solutions.
