B Green space is very important to people in cities. There isn't a lot of green space in New York City, so people there have built parks in new ways. Some parks are up high in the sky and some are under the ground. The High Line Park is a good example. In the past, the High Line was a railway line (铁路线) and it ran over the streets of Manhattan. The railway line closed in the 1980s. Then in 1999,Joshua David and Robert Hammond had an idea to turn the old railway line into a park. Ten years later, the High Line Park opened. The park is now a beautiful place, high above the busy city streets. "New York City can be very noisy. I feel bored and tired sometimes. The park provides a quiet place for me and I can relax here,"Sam Watts said during his school trip to the park. Now the High Line Park has become one of NYC's most popular places with travellers from all over the world. It provides fantastic views of the Hudson River and the great buildings in Manhattan. One look and you too, will see why it is such a must-see(必看的) place for tourists visiting the Big Apple! Because of the success of the High Line Park,people are now building the Low Line Park. They are turning an old trolley (电车) station into a park. There isn't much green space near the station, so the park will be great for people living near the station. New technology (科技) will be used to get sunshine for the park under the ground. Let's wait and see! 51.When did the High Line Park open? A. In 1980. B. In 1999. C. In 2009. D. In 2019 52. What did Sam Watts think of the High Line Park? A. Beautiful. B. Noisy. C. Boring. D. Quiet. 53.What do the underlined words "the Big Apple"in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Manhattan. B. New York City. C. The Hudson River. D. The High Line Park 54. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The Low Line Park is built under the ground. B. People can ride the trolley in the Low Line Park. C. The Low Line Park will be dark all year round. D. The Low Line Park is popular with many visitors. 55. What is the best title of the passage? A. The most popular parks B. Turn a railway line into a park C. Green space is good for cities D.

The ministry keeps doing surveys and protecting China's language resources. 62 Now China has owned the largest online language resource library in the world.Tens of thousands of videos and audio clips(音频片段)are provided,and people can learn dialects by watching or listening to them. 63 According to British linguist(语言学家)Harold Palmer,the dialect is the key to local culture,as language faithfully(忠诚地) shows the history and beliefs of an area. Scholar（学者） Zhang Hongming expressed his worries about the disappearing（消失） dialects."In the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou,children aged 6 to 15 can understand the dialect but hardly speak it. 64 If this continues,the dialect might disappear in the future,”he said. So how did China make this big library? 65 More than 350 universities and research organizations took part in the project,along with over 4,500 experts and more than9,000 dialect speakers. The project is now into its second part.This includes creating digital(数字化的)tools like apps and mobile dictionaries to help people learn dialects. ( A.It has studied how people talk in over 1,700places. B.Why is it so important to protect the dialect culture? C.National effort was put into the project to make it happen. D.The Ministry of Education has done a lot to protect dialects. E.Because of this,some dialects are in danger of disappearing. F.And young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it,but not very well. ) 三、短文填空(共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分) 阅读短文，从方框中选出正确的词并用其适当形式填空，使短文通顺、意思完整。每空限填一词，每词限用一次。 ( care loud uncomfortable stand could advice on although do different ) Etiquette(礼仪)is not the same in every culture,or in every situation.For example, 66 very close to the person you are talking with is quite common in some Asian countries.However,if you do this in Europe,some people might feel 67 .Even in China,we all know that etiquette is not the same in all situations.Perhaps we think that talking 68 in our own homes is fine,but there are other places where talking loudly is not allowed.For example,most people would agree that talking loudly in a library,a museum,or a movie theater is impolite. If we see someone breaking the rules of etiquette,we may politely give them some 69 .Perhaps one of the most polite ways is to ask someone,would you mind doing this or would you mind not doing that.For example,if someone cut in front of you in line,you could ask them,"Sorry,would you mind joining the line?"If someone is smoking 70 the bus,you could ask,"Excuse me, 71 you please put out that cigarette?"People don't usually like to be criticized(批评),so we have to be 72 how we do this. 73 rules of etiquette can often be 74 ,some rules are the same almost everywhere in the world!For example,dropping litter(垃圾)is almost never allowed.If you see someone you know 75 this,you can ask him,"Would you mind picking it up?" 四、读写结合(共两节，满分25分)第一节 任务型阅读(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，用英文填空或回答问题(请注意每小题的词数要求)。 Making a habit depends on the habit, you, and your efforts(努力). Scientists say it could take from 21 days to eight months. This varies（改变） because each habit is different. Many believe it takes 21 days to form a habit. This idea came from Dr. Maxwell Maltz, a doctor. He found that his patients spent about 21 days getting used to a new way of seeing themselves. But not all habits take 21 days to develop. Some need more time to become a regular part of your life. Mark Vahrmeyer, a therapist（治疗师）, says the 21-day rule seems easy. But often, it takes longer to make a habit. Dr. Maurice Duffy, who teaches about thinking patterns（思维模式）, says that our daily actions are our habits. Alyssa Roberts, who researches eating habits, says habits are made by repeating（重复） something. When we do something many times, our brain starts to do it without thinking. Author Charles Duhigg explains the “habit loop（习惯循环）”. A habit has three parts: a trigger（触发因素）, the habit, and a reward（奖励）. For example, stress might lead to overeating（暴饮暴食） to feel better. If this repeats, the brain will see stress as a chance to eat for comfort. How fast you form a habit depends on the habit. A 2009 study showed it can take 18 to 254 days to make a habit. On average, it’s about 66 days. Simple habits like drinking water are quicker to form than harder ones like exercising a lot. A 2016 study found that believing in yourself is the key to forming habits. If you think you can keep a habit, you likely will. This belief（信念） helps in quitting smoking（戒烟）, losing weight, drinking less, and exercising more. Vahrmeyer advises thinking positively（乐观地） about your goal. If making a habit isn’t fun, it will be hard to continue. He also advises making it as easy as possible. For example, pick a nearby gym（健身房） if you want to exercise. 76.Many believe forming a habit needs (10个词以内) 77.Dr. Maurice Duffy says .(10个词以内) 78.About forming habits,a 2016 study suggested(建议) .(10个词以内) 79.About forming a habit,Vahrmeyer advises .(20个词以内) 80.
