On March 28th, The New York Times will begin charging all but the most infrequent users to read articles online.
In a letter to readers, Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., the publisher of the paper, laid out the details of the paywall, which he said will go into effect immediately in Canada and on March 28th for the rest of the world. He called the move “an important step that we hope you will see as an investment in The New York Times, one that will strengthen our ability to provide high-quality journalism to readers around the world and on any platform.”
Sulzberger said that readers will be able to read 20 articles per month at no charge. Once they click on the 21st piece, however, they’ll be presented with three payment options: $15 for four weeks of online and mobile application access, $20 for access to the site and the iPad application, or $35 for access to everything. People who already receive the printed paper through home delivery will enjoy free and unlimited access to The New York Times on all platforms.
These details largely agree with earlier reports on how the paywall would work. The New York Times had made it clear that it did not want to imitate the total paywalls put into effect by papers such as The Times of London and Newsday, which block access to all contents unless the reader pays.
The paper also signaled that it wants to stay relevant in the social media world. According to Sulzberger’s announcement, people who come to The New York Times site from Facebook, Twitter or from blogs will be able to read those articles even if they have gone over their monthly limit.
However, Sulzberger said that a limit will be placed on “some search engines”, meaning that after readers have accessed a certain number of articles from search engines, any further articles they access from there will be added to their monthly count. It was reported that the only search engine that will be affected this way is Google, where there will be a five-article limit. This marks a clear attempt by The New York Times to close what could be a giant loophole ( 漏 洞 ), since so much online traffic is directed through Google. But it also presents a risk for the paper for the same reason.
Sulzberger seems well aware of the risk. “The challenge now is to put a price on our work without walling ourselves off from the global network,” he said, adding that The New York Times must “continue to engage with the widest possible audience.”
24.The author’s main purpose in the text is to______ .
A.describe research findings B.make advertisements
C.report a piece of news D.suggest a solution
25.Why will The New York Times charge their online readers?
A.It is the only way to offer better service to its readers.
B.It wants to stay relevant in the social media world.
C.It has too many readers coming from the other sites.
D.It is seeking new financial sources for its development.
26.Which group of people cannot read unlimited number of The New York Times articles?
A.Those subscribing to the printed newspapers.
B.Readers clicking through from Facebook.
C.Those using Google research engine.
D.Readers paying $35 a month.
27.What challenge may the paywall bring to The New York Times?
A.It may bring The New York Times more competition with the other media.
B.It may lead to a giant loophole online for The New York Times.
C.It may result in huge drops in papers’ online readership.
D.It may block the readers from the other websites.
【答案】24.C 25.D 26.C 27.C
【分析】本文是新闻报道。文章报道了《纽约时报》将开始对在线阅读文章收费,介绍了收费的原因、收费的标准以及付费门槛将给《纽约时报》带来的挑战。
24.推理判断题。根据第一段中“On March 28th, the New York Times will begin charging all but the most infrequent users to read articles online”可知,这篇文章是告诉大家一则消息:《纽约时报》将开始对所有在线阅读文章的用户收费,只有最不经常阅读的用户除外。故选C项。
25.细节理解题。根据第二段中“He called the move ‘an important step that we hope you will see as an investment in the Times, one that will strengthen our ability to provide high-quality journalism to readers around the world and on any platform’(他称这一举措是“一个重要的措施,我们希望你能将其视为对《纽约时报》的投资,这将加强我们为世界各地的读者在任何平台上提供高质量新闻的能力)”可知,《纽约时报》向网上用户收费是为其更好的发展寻求资金来源。故选D项。
26.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“It was reported that the only search engine that will be affected this way is Google, where there will be a five-article limit( 据报道,唯一会受到这种影响的搜索引擎是谷歌,(在谷歌引擎)将有五篇文章的限制)”可知,使用谷歌搜索引擎的人将被限制阅读《纽约时报》文章的数量。故选C项。
27.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“Sulzberger seems well aware of the risk. …adding that The New York Times must ‘continue to engage with the widest possible audience’ (Sulzberger似乎很清楚这种风险。……他还说,《纽约时报》必须继续与尽可能多地读者接触)”可以推断,Sulzberger认为付费门槛给《纽约时报》带来的挑战是可能会导致网上的用户数量下降,因此强调要与尽可能多地读者接触。故选C项。
C
Every morning I walk outside and bring in the morning newspaper. There was a time when every house on both sides of the street had a newspaper in the driveway. There was also a time when every house had a landline telephone, but not anymore. Not for a long time.
My husband is less willing to accept the downward trend of print-edition newspapers, as he has worked in newspapers since the age of 16. Even before that, he was what you would call an “independent publisher”.
Recently, we were at a Chicago park with our grandchildren. My husband had a newspaper folded under his arm. He sat down and put the paper on the bench beside him. A young girl walked over, looked at the newspaper, picked it up and asked, " What's this?"
I thought he was going to fall over. The color faded from his face. His eyes rolled back in his head and his legs were giving out. I rolled up his paper and waved it under his nose. The smells from the ink woke him up.
Some people simply love paper ― the feel, the portability, and the pleasure of piling them higher and higher until their wife cries, “Enough!" My husband was happy when he spent time with our youngest daughter and her husband. When they lived with us, they raced to pull the crossword puzzle from the paper every day. It's hard to do a crossword online. Pencil doesn't come off a computer screen as easily as you might think.
Now my husband will be very excited that I have found further proof that there may still be hope for the survival of print. I was chatting with a young mother who subscribes to the daily newspaper. I asked why she did something so conservatively. She looked shocked. "Because it's print!" she said. "I love print! When the paper didn't come one day, would you believe I called the main number to let them know and the lady said, ' Why don't you just subscribe to the online version? '” She shook her head in disbelief.
My husband will be so thrilled that he might write this young woman into his will. I say we leave her all our piles of old newspapers.
28.How did the author's husband feel when a girl asked a question in the park?
A.Shocked. B.Thrilled.
C.Disappointed. D.Confused.
29.What does the author probably mean by saying “his legs were giving out” ?
A.He was feeling tired and needed a rest.
B.He was very old and unable to stand long.
C.He almost lost his balance and became unconscious.
D.He was annoyed with the girl and played a trick on her.
30.What does the author mainly talk about in the passage?
A.The new rise of digital newspapers on the line.
B.A man's everlasting love for printed newspapers.
C.The pleasure of looking through daily newspapers.
D.A family's memory of reading printed newspapers.
【答案】28.A 29.C 30.B
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。作者的丈夫从16岁时起就从事与报纸有关的工作,文章讲述了作者丈夫与一些人关于报纸的故事,表达了作者丈夫对“印刷报纸”永恒的爱。
28.细节理解题。根据第四段中的I thought he was going to fall over. The color faded from his face.(我觉得他要摔倒了。他脸变得苍白。)及I rolled up his paper and waved it under his nose. The smells from the ink woke him up.(我卷起他的报纸,在他鼻子底下挥了挥。墨水的气味把他弄醒了。)可知他在听到女孩的问题时,震惊地要晕倒了。A项(震惊的)符合文章描述,故选A项。
29.推理判断题。根据第四段中的I thought he was going to fall over. The color faded from his face. His eyes rolled back in his head(我觉得他要摔倒了。他脸变得苍白,眼睛向后翻。)及下文的I rolled up his paper and waved it under his nose. The smells from the ink woke him up.(我卷起他的报纸,在他鼻子底下挥了挥。墨水的气味把他弄醒了。)可知作者说his legs were giving out(他的腿在抽搐)是想表达出他在知道小女孩竟然不知道他最在意的报纸是什么东西时,几乎要失去了平衡,失去了知觉。故选C项。
30.主旨大意题。根据第二段中的My husband is less willing to accept the downward trend of print-edition newspapers, as he has worked in newspapers since the age of 16.(我丈夫不太愿意接受纸质报纸的下降趋势,因为他从16岁起就从事与报纸有关的工作。)及最后一段中的My husband will be so thrilled that he might write this young woman into his will.(我丈夫会非常激动,他可能会把这个年轻女子写进他的遗嘱里。)及通读全文可知,文章讲述了作者丈夫与一些人关于报纸的故事,表达了作者丈夫对“印刷报纸”永恒的爱。因此B项(一个男人对印刷报纸永恒的爱。)符合文章大意,故选B项。

Real-life room escape games
Real-life room escape games are a type of physical adventure game in which people are locked in a room with other participants and have to use the things in the room to settle a series of puzzles. 35
The games are based on Escape the Room video games, such as Crimson Room and QP-Shot, created by TAKAGISM Inc. by Toshimitsu Takagi, in which the player is locked inside a room and must explore his or her surroundings in order to escape. Players must be observant and use their critical thinking skills to escape the room. Other inspirations include adventure board games and movies. Real-life room escape games are becoming popular in the United States, Japan and China. 36 For example, some games require you escape prison cells while others require you escape space stations.
37 Soon, they were exported to North America, Asia and Australia. Examples include the two pioneer companies Hint Hunt and Adventure Rooms. The games were so successful that new locations began opening up across China, in cities big and small. In the southern city of Shenzhen, for example, the first escape location opened last August. 38 “These real-life escape games can help those who stay at home on their computers and IPads all day to experience real social circle.” Said Tian Xiao chuan, who owns two room escape game stores in Jinan.
Earlier this year, The South China Morning Post said the real-life escape games are a hit among “highly stressed students and overworked young professionals.” 39 Some players get so involved that they tear down equipment or decorations inside their “prisons”, as Zhu Yumeng, chief operating officer of a Beijing room escape game store told China Daily.
A.Each game adds local themes to settings.
B.And seven new game locations quickly followed.
C.They should also be brave enough to face their fears.
D.Sometimes the excitement becomes a bit much, though.
E.They should find clues and escape the room within a set time limit.
F.Weekend or day event escape games have been held in some stores.
G.Permanent real-life escape games in a fixed location were first opened in Europe.
【答案】35.E 36.A 37.G 38.B 39.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一款释放人压力的暂时摆脱竞争激烈的社会现状的“真人密室逃脱游戏”,描述了它的流行以及发展的过程。
35.根据上文“Real-life room escape games are a type of physical adventure game in which people are locked in a room with other participants and have to use the things in the room to settle a series of puzzles.”(现实生活中的密室逃脱游戏是一种物理冒险游戏,在这种游戏中,人们与其他参与者被关在一个房间里,必须使用房间里的东西来解决一系列谜题。)可知,本段旨在介绍密室逃脱游戏及其游戏规则。E项“They should find clues and escape the room within a set time limit.”(他们应该在规定的时间内找到线索并逃离房间。)符合文意。故选E。
36.根据下文“For example, some games require you escape prison cells while others require you escape space stations.”(例如,有些游戏要求你逃离牢房,而另一些游戏则要求你逃离空间站。)可知,下文与空格处是例证关系。所以前面是说每个游戏都增添了一些当地的特色,所以后面举了两个特殊的例子。A项“Each game adds local themes to settings.”(每个游戏都将本地主题添加到设置中。)符合文意。故选A。
37.根据下文“Soon, they were exported to North America, Asia and Australia.”(很快,它们传到北美、亚洲和澳大利亚。)可知,此处是说这款游戏后来流传到了北美、亚洲以及澳大利亚等地。G项“Permanent real-life escape games in a fixed location were first opened in Europe.”(固定地点的永久性真人逃脱游戏首次在欧洲开放。)在时间上与下文衔接,符合文意。故选G。
38.根据上文“The games were so successful that new locations began opening up across China, in cities big and small. In the southern city of Shenzhen, for example, the first escape location opened last August.”(游戏非常成功,以至于中国各地开始在大大小小的城市开设新的场所。例如,在南部城市深圳,第一个逃生地点于去年8月开放。)可知,这一游戏在中国也大受欢迎,迅速普及,第一个逃生地点开放。B项“And seven new game locations quickly followed.”(七个新的游戏地点很快就出现了。)具有承上启下的连接作用,进一步用数字说明此游戏的受欢迎度,符合文意。故选B。
39.根据上文“Earlier this year, The South China Morning Post said the real-life escape games are a hit among “highly stressed students and overworked young professionals.”” ( 今年早些时候,《南华早报》称,现实生活中的逃脱游戏在“压力大的学生和工作过度的年轻专业人士”中很受欢迎。)以及下文“Some players get so involved that they tear down equipment or decorations inside their “prisons””( 一些玩家太投入了,以至于他们把“监狱”里的设备或装饰品都拆掉了)可知,上文说明这款游戏的功效,使得许多有压力的人获得了放松,下文是玩家兴奋有点过的一个具体体现。D项“Sometimes the excitement becomes a bit much, though.”(不过,有时兴奋会变得有点过分。)符合文意。故选D。
第三部分 书面表达(共两节, 32分)
第一节(共4小题; 第40、41题各2分, 第42题3分, 第43题5分, 共12分)
阅读下面短文, 根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
A child excitedly opens a present, but after seeing the toy, she shifts her focus to the wrapping paper, box, or ribbon (丝带). She might place the box on her head or tie the ribbon to a table leg. This is open-ended play, where children use everyday objects in creative, unstructured ways. It’s child-directed, with no set outcome. Research shows open-ended play is benefıcial in sometimes surprising ways.
Open-ended play starts with the objects children play with. Unlike electronic toys or movie-based toys, open-ended toys — often called “loose parts” — give children the room to do something new. Loose parts can include egg holders, seashells, or cardboard boxes and other common objects. They are the basis for imaginative play that helps children become more creative.
When a child picks up a stick and imagines it as a horse or telescope, she is exercising the ability to create and to think for herself. Each step in the process of free play is valuable. The process begins with choosing an object, then transforming (转变) it in her imagination into something new with its own purpose. Manufactured (制造的) toys do not give the mind the same freedom to imagine as do common objects that do not come with expectations or history.
Obviously, adult-directed activities are more controlled and more predictable, and often shield children from making mistakes. Open-ended play allows children to follow their interests and to make mistakes. With parents playing a more passive role, children are responsible for these mistakes. This allows for more chances to solve problems and creates opportunities for children to be successful, building confidence in their ability to reason.
The reality of modern life is that much of children’s lives will ba structured. But it does not all have to be. When parents, teachers, and caregivers take a step back, they open the door wider for children to create and learn.
40.What is open-ended play?
41.What is the benefit of children imagining a stick as a horse?
42.What does the underlined word “shield” in Paragraph 4 mean?
43.What is the main idea of this passage?
【答案】40.Children use everyday objects in creative, unstructured ways, without a set outcome. 41.It helps them exercise their creativity and independent thinking. 42.It means “stop”, “protect” or “prevent”. 43.The power/ benefits/ advantages of open-ended play.
【导语】这是一篇说明文,本文主要讲述了开放性游戏的好处。
40.考查细节理解。根据第一段中“This is open-ended play, where children use everyday objects in creative, unstructured ways. It’s child-directed, with no set outcome. Research shows open-ended play is beneficial in sometimes surprising ways.(这是一种开放式的游戏,孩子们以创造性的、非结构化的方式使用日常用品。它以孩子为导向,没有固定的结果。研究表明,开放式游戏有时会带来意想不到的好处)”可知,开放性游戏指孩子们以创造性的、非结构化的方式使用日常物品,没有固定的结果。故答案为Children use everyday objects in creative, unstructured ways, without a set outcome.
41.考查细节理解。根据第三段中“When a child picks up a stick and imagines it as a horse or telescope, she is exercising the ability to create and to think for herself.(当一个孩子拿起一根棍子,想象它是一匹马或望远镜时,她正在锻炼自己创造和自己思考的能力)”可知,孩子把一根棍子想象成是一匹马的好处是帮助他们锻炼创造力和独立思考的能力。故答案为It helps them exercise their creativity and independent thinking.
42.考查词句猜测。根据划线词上文“Obviously, adult-directed activities are more controlled and more predictable(显然,成人指导的活动更容易控制和预测)”和下文“Open-ended play allows children to follow their interests and to make mistakes.(开放式的游戏允许孩子们跟随他们的兴趣,并犯错误)”可知,成人指导的活动更容易控制和预测,且和开放性游戏犯错形成对比,指成人指导的活动防止孩子犯错,shield意为“保护,防止”,故答案为It means “stop”, “protect” or “prevent”.
43.考查主旨大意。根据全文内容,结合第一段中“Research shows open-ended play is beneficial in sometimes surprising ways.(研究表明,开放式游戏有时会带来意想不到的好处)”可知,本文主要讲述开放性游戏的好处。故答案为The power/ benefits/ advantages of open-ended play.

On March 28th, The New York Times will begin charging all but the most infrequent users to read articles online.
In a letter to readers, Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., the publisher of the paper, laid out the details of the paywall, which he said will go into effect immediately in Canada and on March 28th for the rest of the world. He called the move “an important step that we hope you will see as an investment in The New York Times, one that will strengthen our ability to provide high-quality journalism to readers around the world and on any platform.”
Sulzberger said that readers will be able to read 20 articles per month at no charge. Once they click on the 21st piece, however, they’ll be presented with three payment options: $15 for four weeks of online and mobile application access, $20 for access to the site and the iPad application, or $35 for access to everything. People who already receive the printed paper through home delivery will enjoy free and unlimited access to The New York Times on all platforms.
These details largely agree with earlier reports on how the paywall would work. The New York Times had made it clear that it did not want to imitate the total paywalls put into effect by papers such as The Times of London and Newsday, which block access to all contents unless the reader pays.
The paper also signaled that it wants to stay relevant in the social media world. According to Sulzberger’s announcement, people who come to The New York Times site from Facebook, Twitter or from blogs will be able to read those articles even if they have gone over their monthly limit.
However, Sulzberger said that a limit will be placed on “some search engines”, meaning that after readers have accessed a certain number of articles from search engines, any further articles they access from there will be added to their monthly count. It was reported that the only search engine that will be affected this way is Google, where there will be a five-article limit. This marks a clear attempt by The New York Times to close what could be a giant loophole ( 漏 洞 ), since so much online traffic is directed through Google. But it also presents a risk for the paper for the same reason.
Sulzberger seems well aware of the risk. “The challenge now is to put a price on our work without walling ourselves off from the global network,” he said, adding that The New York Times must “continue to engage with the widest possible audience.”
24.The author’s main purpose in the text is to______ .
A.describe research findings B.make advertisements
C.report a piece of news D.suggest a solution
25.Why will The New York Times charge their online readers?
A.It is the only way to offer better service to its readers.
B.It wants to stay relevant in the social media world.
C.It has too many readers coming from the other sites.
D.It is seeking new financial sources for its development.
26.Which group of people cannot read unlimited number of The New York Times articles?
A.Those subscribing to the printed newspapers.
B.Readers clicking through from Facebook.
C.Those using Google research engine.
D.Readers paying $35 a month.
27.What challenge may the paywall bring to The New York Times?
A.It may bring The New York Times more competition with the other media.
B.It may lead to a giant loophole online for The New York Times.
C.It may result in huge drops in papers’ online readership.
D.It may block the readers from the other websites.
C
Every morning I walk outside and bring in the morning newspaper. There was a time when every house on both sides of the street had a newspaper in the driveway. There was also a time when every house had a landline telephone, but not anymore. Not for a long time.
My husband is less willing to accept the downward trend of print-edition newspapers, as he has worked in newspapers since the age of 16. Even before that, he was what you would call an “independent publisher”.
Recently, we were at a Chicago park with our grandchildren. My husband had a newspaper folded under his arm. He sat down and put the paper on the bench beside him. A young girl walked over, looked at the newspaper, picked it up and asked, " What's this?"
I thought he was going to fall over. The color faded from his face. His eyes rolled back in his head and his legs were giving out. I rolled up his paper and waved it under his nose. The smells from the ink woke him up.
Some people simply love paper ― the feel, the portability, and the pleasure of piling them higher and higher until their wife cries, “Enough!" My husband was happy when he spent time with our youngest daughter and her husband. When they lived with us, they raced to pull the crossword puzzle from the paper every day. It's hard to do a crossword online. Pencil doesn't come off a computer screen as easily as you might think.
Now my husband will be very excited that I have found further proof that there may still be hope for the survival of print. I was chatting with a young mother who subscribes to the daily newspaper. I asked why she did something so conservatively. She looked shocked. "Because it's print!" she said. "I love print! When the paper didn't come one day, would you believe I called the main number to let them know and the lady said, ' Why don't you just subscribe to the online version? '” She shook her head in disbelief.
My husband will be so thrilled that he might write this young woman into his will. I say we leave her all our piles of old newspapers.
28.How did the author's husband feel when a girl asked a question in the park?
A.Shocked. B.Thrilled.
C.Disappointed. D.Confused.
29.What does the author probably mean by saying “his legs were giving out” ?
A.He was feeling tired and needed a rest.
B.He was very old and unable to stand long.
C.He almost lost his balance and became unconscious.
D.He was annoyed with the girl and played a trick on her.
30.What does the author mainly talk about in the passage?
A.The new rise of digital newspapers on the line.
B.A man's everlasting love for printed newspapers.
C.The pleasure of looking through daily newspapers.
D.A family's memory of reading printed newspapers.
D

Real-life room escape games
Real-life room escape games are a type of physical adventure game in which people are locked in a room with other participants and have to use the things in the room to settle a series of puzzles. 35
The games are based on Escape the Room video games, such as Crimson Room and QP-Shot, created by TAKAGISM Inc. by Toshimitsu Takagi, in which the player is locked inside a room and must explore his or her surroundings in order to escape. Players must be observant and use their critical thinking skills to escape the room. Other inspirations include adventure board games and movies. Real-life room escape games are becoming popular in the United States, Japan and China. 36 For example, some games require you escape prison cells while others require you escape space stations.
37 Soon, they were exported to North America, Asia and Australia. Examples include the two pioneer companies Hint Hunt and Adventure Rooms. The games were so successful that new locations began opening up across China, in cities big and small. In the southern city of Shenzhen, for example, the first escape location opened last August. 38 “These real-life escape games can help those who stay at home on their computers and IPads all day to experience real social circle.” Said Tian Xiao chuan, who owns two room escape game stores in Jinan.
Earlier this year, The South China Morning Post said the real-life escape games are a hit among “highly stressed students and overworked young professionals.” 39 Some players get so involved that they tear down equipment or decorations inside their “prisons”, as Zhu Yumeng, chief operating officer of a Beijing room escape game store told China Daily.
A.Each game adds local themes to settings.
B.And seven new game locations quickly followed.
C.They should also be brave enough to face their fears.
D.Sometimes the excitement becomes a bit much, though.
E.They should find clues and escape the room within a set time limit.
F.Weekend or day event escape games have been held in some stores.
G.Permanent real-life escape games in a fixed location were first opened in Europe.

Accompanied by 6 musical instruments like erhu, gong (锣), and lute (琵琶), actors present unique melodies as well dialogues which are beautifully written and of high literary value. For Chinese especially senior people, to listen to this kind of opera is a real 7 .

In 1790, four famous opera performing teams traveled to Beijing. They created the Beijing Opera by 8 their local opera with the operas in Hubei, Shanxi and Zhejiang.

On March 28th, The New York Times will begin charging all but the most infrequent users to read articles online.
In a letter to readers, Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., the publisher of the paper, laid out the details of the paywall, which he said will go into effect immediately in Canada and on March 28th for the rest of the world. He called the move “an important step that we hope you will see as an investment in The New York Times, one that will strengthen our ability to provide high-quality journalism to readers around the world and on any platform.”
Sulzberger said that readers will be able to read 20 articles per month at no charge. Once they click on the 21st piece, however, they’ll be presented with three payment options: $15 for four weeks of online and mobile application access, $20 for access to the site and the iPad application, or $35 for access to everything. People who already receive the printed paper through home delivery will enjoy free and unlimited access to The New York Times on all platforms.
These details largely agree with earlier reports on how the paywall would work. The New York Times had made it clear that it did not want to imitate the total paywalls put into effect by papers such as The Times of London and Newsday, which block access to all contents unless the reader pays.
The paper also signaled that it wants to stay relevant in the social media world. According to Sulzberger’s announcement, people who come to The New York Times site from Facebook, Twitter or from blogs will be able to read those articles even if they have gone over their monthly limit.
However, Sulzberger said that a limit will be placed on “some search engines”, meaning that after readers have accessed a certain number of articles from search engines, any further articles they access from there will be added to their monthly count. It was reported that the only search engine that will be affected this way is Google, where there will be a five-article limit. This marks a clear attempt by The New York Times to close what could be a giant loophole ( 漏 洞 ), since so much online traffic is directed through Google. But it also presents a risk for the paper for the same reason.
Sulzberger seems well aware of the risk. “The challenge now is to put a price on our work without walling ourselves off from the global network,” he said, adding that The New York Times must “continue to engage with the widest possible audience.”
24.The author’s main purpose in the text is to______ .
A.describe research findings B.make advertisements
C.report a piece of news D.suggest a solution
25.Why will The New York Times charge their online readers?
A.It is the only way to offer better service to its readers.
B.It wants to stay relevant in the social media world.
C.It has too many readers coming from the other sites.
D.It is seeking new financial sources for its development.
26.Which group of people cannot read unlimited number of The New York Times articles?
A.Those subscribing to the printed newspapers.
B.Readers clicking through from Facebook.
C.Those using Google research engine.
D.Readers paying $35 a month.
27.What challenge may the paywall bring to The New York Times?
A.It may bring The New York Times more competition with the other media.
B.It may lead to a giant loophole online for The New York Times.
C.It may result in huge drops in papers’ online readership.
D.It may block the readers from the other websites.
C
Every morning I walk outside and bring in the morning newspaper. There was a time when every house on both sides of the street had a newspaper in the driveway. There was also a time when every house had a landline telephone, but not anymore. Not for a long time.
My husband is less willing to accept the downward trend of print-edition newspapers, as he has worked in newspapers since the age of 16. Even before that, he was what you would call an “independent publisher”.
Recently, we were at a Chicago park with our grandchildren. My husband had a newspaper folded under his arm. He sat down and put the paper on the bench beside him. A young girl walked over, looked at the newspaper, picked it up and asked, " What's this?"
I thought he was going to fall over. The color faded from his face. His eyes rolled back in his head and his legs were giving out. I rolled up his paper and waved it under his nose. The smells from the ink woke him up.
Some people simply love paper ― the feel, the portability, and the pleasure of piling them higher and higher until their wife cries, “Enough!" My husband was happy when he spent time with our youngest daughter and her husband. When they lived with us, they raced to pull the crossword puzzle from the paper every day. It's hard to do a crossword online. Pencil doesn't come off a computer screen as easily as you might think.
Now my husband will be very excited that I have found further proof that there may still be hope for the survival of print. I was chatting with a young mother who subscribes to the daily newspaper. I asked why she did something so conservatively. She looked shocked. "Because it's print!" she said. "I love print! When the paper didn't come one day, would you believe I called the main number to let them know and the lady said, ' Why don't you just subscribe to the online version? '” She shook her head in disbelief.
My husband will be so thrilled that he might write this young woman into his will. I say we leave her all our piles of old newspapers.
28.How did the author's husband feel when a girl asked a question in the park?
A.Shocked. B.Thrilled.
C.Disappointed. D.Confused.
29.What does the author probably mean by saying “his legs were giving out” ?
A.He was feeling tired and needed a rest.
B.He was very old and unable to stand long.
C.He almost lost his balance and became unconscious.
D.He was annoyed with the girl and played a trick on her.
30.What does the author mainly talk about in the passage?
A.The new rise of digital newspapers on the line.
B.A man's everlasting love for printed newspapers.
C.The pleasure of looking through daily newspapers.
D.A family's memory of reading printed newspapers.
D

Real-life room escape games
Real-life room escape games are a type of physical adventure game in which people are locked in a room with other participants and have to use the things in the room to settle a series of puzzles. 35
The games are based on Escape the Room video games, such as Crimson Room and QP-Shot, created by TAKAGISM Inc. by Toshimitsu Takagi, in which the player is locked inside a room and must explore his or her surroundings in order to escape. Players must be observant and use their critical thinking skills to escape the room. Other inspirations include adventure board games and movies. Real-life room escape games are becoming popular in the United States, Japan and China. 36 For example, some games require you escape prison cells while others require you escape space stations.
37 Soon, they were exported to North America, Asia and Australia. Examples include the two pioneer companies Hint Hunt and Adventure Rooms. The games were so successful that new locations began opening up across China, in cities big and small. In the southern city of Shenzhen, for example, the first escape location opened last August. 38 “These real-life escape games can help those who stay at home on their computers and IPads all day to experience real social circle.” Said Tian Xiao chuan, who owns two room escape game stores in Jinan.
Earlier this year, The South China Morning Post said the real-life escape games are a hit among “highly stressed students and overworked young professionals.” 39 Some players get so involved that they tear down equipment or decorations inside their “prisons”, as Zhu Yumeng, chief operating officer of a Beijing room escape game store told China Daily.
A.Each game adds local themes to settings.
B.And seven new game locations quickly followed.
C.They should also be brave enough to face their fears.
D.Sometimes the excitement becomes a bit much, though.
E.They should find clues and escape the room within a set time limit.
F.Weekend or day event escape games have been held in some stores.
G.Permanent real-life escape games in a fixed location were first opened in Europe.

阅读下面短文, 根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
A child excitedly opens a present, but after seeing the toy, she shifts her focus to the wrapping paper, box, or ribbon (丝带). She might place the box on her head or tie the ribbon to a table leg. This is open-ended play, where children use everyday objects in creative, unstructured ways. It’s child-directed, with no set outcome. Research shows open-ended play is benefıcial in sometimes surprising ways.
Open-ended play starts with the objects children play with. Unlike electronic toys or movie-based toys, open-ended toys — often called “loose parts” — give children the room to do something new. Loose parts can include egg holders, seashells, or cardboard boxes and other common objects. They are the basis for imaginative play that helps children become more creative.
When a child picks up a stick and imagines it as a horse or telescope, she is exercising the ability to create and to think for herself. Each step in the process of free play is valuable. The process begins with choosing an object, then transforming (转变) it in her imagination into something new with its own purpose. Manufactured (制造的) toys do not give the mind the same freedom to imagine as do common objects that do not come with expectations or history.
Obviously, adult-directed activities are more controlled and more predictable, and often shield children from making mistakes. Open-ended play allows children to follow their interests and to make mistakes. With parents playing a more passive role, children are responsible for these mistakes. This allows for more chances to solve problems and creates opportunities for children to be successful, building confidence in their ability to reason.
The reality of modern life is that much of children’s lives will ba structured. But it does not all have to be. When parents, teachers, and caregivers take a step back, they open the door wider for children to create and learn.
40.What is open-ended play?
41.What is the benefit of children imagining a stick as a horse?
42.What does the underlined word “shield” in Paragraph 4 mean?
43.What is the main idea of this passage?
