New York is an overwhelming city to visi...

    New York is an overwhelming city to visit with children. What follows is carefully collected advice from New Yorkers on how to cover the city right.

Tenement Museum

The Tenement Museum on the Lower East Side offers a fantastic glimpse into urban family life. Guided tours reveal the daily routines of generations of Irish, Jewish and Italian immigrants who made their mark then quickly moved up and out. Pick up a copy of “All-of-a-Kind Family”or a vintage toy in the museum shop, one of the city’s best.

MoMA Museum

MoMA Museum does an excellent job making modern and contemporary art accessible to children as young as 4. On weekend mornings, guided tours are divided into age-appropriate groups in which children can observe a number of works and draw; later they gain free admittance to the entire museum. The cafeteria is both grown-up and child-friendly, and there’s an art laboratory with hands-on activities and even an audio guide for young people.

Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum

The most significant in the museum is the Space Shuttle Pavilion, which is scheduled to reopen in July, showcasing the Enterprise, NASA’s first space shuttle, which arrived last year. The U.S.S. Intrepid, a World War II-era aircraft carrier, is worthwhile in itself. While the complex suffered damage during Hurricane Sandy, most of its facilities are once again shipshape. Families may want to consider Operation Slumber, which allows for overnight visits with special activities for children 6 and older.

Children’s Museum of the Arts

All the artwork here is made by children, and visitors can make their own bonus: you don’t have to clean up. An area for younger children includes sand, Play-Doh and guided music activities. Children go berserk for the Ball Pond, a closed-in area of oversize balls. Is it experiential art? An installation? Children need not bother with such imponderables.

1.Which of the following museums offer free admission?

A.Tenement Museum. B.MoMa Museum.

C.Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum. D.Children’s Museum of Arts.

2.How is Children’s Museum of the Arts different from the other three museums?

A.It is located in New York.

B.It exhibits a lot of artwork.

C.Its artwork is all created by children.

D.It used to be damaged in the Hurrican Sandy.

3.What do the four museums have in common?

A.They are all children-friendly.

B.They all show visitors contemporary artwork.

C.They can offer visitors activities to take part in.

D.They are all suitable for children over 4 years old.

 

1.B 2.C 3.A 【解析】 这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了纽约市四个孩子们可以去参观的博物馆。 1.细节理解题。根据MoMA Museum中On weekend mornings, guided tours are divided into age-appropriate groups in which children can observe a number of works and draw; later they gain free admittance to the entire museum.可知,在周末上午,导赏团会按年龄分组,让儿童观赏及绘画作品;随后,他们获得了整个博物馆的免费入场券。因此在MoMA Museum提供免费入场。故选B项。 2.细节理解题。根据Children’s Museum of the Arts中All the artwork here is made by children, and visitors can make their own (bonus: you don’t have to clean up).可知,这里所有的艺术品都是孩子们做的,游客们可以自己动手(额外的好处是:你不必收拾)。因此Children’s Museum of the Arts不同于其他三个博物馆在于它的艺术作品都是由儿童创作的。故选C项。 3.推理判断题。根据Tenement Museum中Pick up a copy of “All-of-a-Kind Family”or a vintage toy in the museum shop, one of the city’s best.你可以在博物馆的商店里买到一本《全家福》,或是一件古董玩具,这是纽约最好的玩具之一。MoMA Museum中On weekend mornings, guided tours are divided into age-appropriate groups in which children can observe a number of works and draw; later they gain free admittance to the entire museum.在周末上午,导赏团会按年龄分组,让儿童观赏及绘画作品;随后,他们获得了整个博物馆的免费入场券。Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum中Families may want to consider Operation Slumber, which allows for overnight visits with special activities for children 6 and older.家庭可以考虑“睡眠操作”,它允许6岁以上的儿童在夜间进行特殊活动。Children’s Museum of the Arts中All the artwork here is made by children, and visitors can make their own (bonus: you don’t have to clean up). 这里所有的艺术品都是孩子们做的,游客们可以自己动手(额外的好处是:你不必收拾)。可知,这四个博物馆对于孩子们都是很照顾的,因此可以说他们都是对儿童友好的。故选A项。

注意:每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。

Social anxiety(社交恐惧症) is a type of anxiety problem. People with social anxiety can usually interact easily with family and a few close friends. Instead of enjoying social activities, they might fear them and avoid some of them altogether. Like other anxieties, it is a fear reaction to something that isn't actually dangerous, although the body and mind react as if the danger is real. Because the physical sensations that go with the response are real and sometimes quite strong the danger seems real. With social anxiety, a person's fears and concerns are focused on the social performance whether it's a major class presentation or small talk at the lockers. People tend to feel embarrassed and uncomfortable about being noticed or judged by others.

Social anxiety might prevent someone from chatting with friends in the lunchroom, joining an after­school club, going to a party, or asking someone on a date. It might keep a person from volunteering an answer in class, reading aloud, or giving a presentation. It might prevent someone from acting the school play, being in the talent show, trying out for a team, or joining in a service project. It also prevents them from making the normal, everyday mistakes that help people improve their skills still further.

Social anxiety develops because the genetic features from parents and other relatives can influence how the brain senses and controls anxiety, shyness, nervousness, and stress reactions. Meanwhile, some people are born with a shy character and tend to be cautious and sensitive in new situations and prefer what's familiar. Naturally a person's shy character can be influenced by what he or she learns from role models. If parents or others react by overprotecting a child who is shy, the child won't have a chance to get used to new situations and new people. If people born with a cautious nature have stressful experiences, social anxiety can make them even more cautious and shy. Feeling pressured to interact in ways they don't feel ready for, being criticized or insulted, or having other fears and worries can make it more likely for a shy or fearful person to develop social anxiety.

Sometimes, but not always, medicines that reduce anxiety are used as part of the treatment. Family or friends are especially important and the right support from a few key people can help those with social anxiety gather the courage to go outside their comfort zone and try something new. Dealing with social anxiety takes patience, courage to face fears and try new things, and the willingness to practice.

    A few weeks ago, a 71-year-old man pulled his car to the roadside in Northwest Portland and  stopped. He rolled down the window, turned off the engine and stared at a house.

The place, distinguished by three gables, is partially hidden by hedges and trees. Most people who pass by would never notice it. And if they  did give  it a glance, they’d probably think it’s a nice house  in  a nice neighborhood. Nothing more.

The house, in the 2500 block of Northwest Westover Road, is known as  the  Bessie  &  Louis Tarpley House. Built in 1907, it’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The current owner is Barbee Lyon, 79.

He and his first wife took possession in 1975. When they divorced, he bought out her share.

A retired lawyer, Lyon learned Louis Tarpley, the home’s first owner, had also been a Portland lawyer. Setbacks in Tarpley’s life led to the house auction(拍卖) in the late 1920s.

“I’m only the fifth owner of the home,” Lyon said. A previous owner was Frank Masco.

He and his wife, Esther, and their nine children had lived across town in a tiny house needing  constant repairs. In the mid-1950s, the elder Masco wanted to move to a bigger house and one closer to work. A docker ( ), he was on-call 24 hours a day and had to quickly get to the Willamette River docks.

He found a home on Westover Road. At the time, many people  wanted to live  in new  construction in the suburbs. The Westover house was offered at a deep discount.

And later the family moved on several times, finally living in Vancouver.

One Sunday in July 2019, Charley Masco drove to Portland for an appointment at a computer store.

When it ended, he traveled the familiar route to Westover Road, pulled over and looked at that home.

He decided to do something bold. He got out of his car and walked up the steps and  rang  the doorbell. He waited. No response. Nervous, he thought it was a mistake to  do  this  and  considered turning around and walking back to his car.

Barbee Lyon opened the door and saw a stranger.

“I’m not selling anything,” Masco said quickly. “I just want you to know I once lived here.” Lyon opened the door wide.

“Come in.”

And for the first time since 1966, Masco stepped into his childhood home.

Every room looked as Masco had remembered it: The built-in china hutch in the dining room, the hanging lights above the table and, in the kitchen,  a massive  wood-burning  stove  where  his  mother used to cook family meals. It was as if he had walked into his own museum.

Lyon told Masco he’d never done major structural remodeling, which meant Masco knew his way around the home.

It was as if he had never left.

There, on the top floor, was the window he and  his  siblings  quietly opened  to sneak out  at night and return before their parents knew they were gone. The loft where  friends  daydreamed  about  the future. The living room – no TV ever allowed – where the family gathered to share music, play cards or just talk with each other.

Then they all walked to the basement.

In the far corner, Masco saw his father’s old wooden workbench. And above it, baby food jars.

Masco had forgotten about them.

He explained that his father had nailed lids from the jars to a rafter, filling the glass  with different size screws, nuts and bolts, and then screwing the jars back into the lids to give him easy access while working.

Masco thought about his father, his mother and three of his siblings who have died.  He thought  about his father, tinkering in the basement, while his mother was in the kitchen preparing dinner.

He thought about the 71-year-old man he was and the boy he had once been.

Kruse, Lyon’s wife, reached up and unscrewed a jar. She handed  it  to  Masco,  believing  it  belonged to this stranger.

Masco thanked her.

He clutched the  small bottle to his chest. “My dad,” he said quietly. “This is my dad.”

1.Why did Charley Masco come to visit the Westover house?

A.He wanted to review his past and hold memories.

B.He attempted to buy back his childhood house.

C.His friend invited him to be a guest at his newly-bought house.

D.He came to the house where his father lived to seek roots.

2.What made  Frank Masco decide to buy the  house?

A.The house’s owner  had been  a Portland lawyer.

B.The house was auctioned at a very low price.

C.He desired to improve his family’s living conditions.

D.The house was equipped with a basement.

3.What do we know about Barbee Lyon?

A.He bought the house from Louis Tarpley.

B.He took possession of the house at about 35.

C.He lived in the house with his first wife Kruse.

D.He disliked being disturbed by strangers.

4.Why did Charley Masco feel nervous when he rang the doorbell?

A.He knew the house owner was a bad-tempered man.

B.He thought it was improper to pay an unexpected visit.

C.He might not hold back his feelings when he went in.

D.He feared the house owner would take him for a salesman.

A.every room was not as he had remembered it

B.the house had experienced great structural changes

C.the childhood home was where his heart was

D.he couldn’t recall anything about baby food jars

6.What can be a suitable title for the passage?

A.Collision of Two Hearts B.Experiences of Two Families

C.An Unexpected Meeting D.The Harbour of the Heart

    I came home one day recently and, for reasons I don’t quite understand, my living room smelled like my grandmother’s house. Suddenly I felt as if I were 12 years old, happy and relaxed, sitting in her kitchen. I can remember what her house looked like, though it was sold 20 years ago – her three-level plant stand, the plates lining the walls, the window over her sink – but these visual memories don’t have the power that smell does. The funny thing is, I can’t even begin to describe the odor(气味) that was so distinctively hers. The best I can do is this: “It smelled like my grandmother’s house.”

It’s a common experience, and a common linguistic( 语言学的) problem. In cultures worldwide, people have powerful olfactory memories. This odor-memory link is also called “the Proust phenomenon,” after Marcel Proust’s famous description of the feelings aroused by a cake dipped in tea in “Remembrance of Things Past.”

Olfactory memories seem to be more closely bound up with emotions than are visual or auditory ones.

Not all these memories are pleasant, of course, and smells can also trigger feelings of pain.

It is surprisingly hard for English-speakers to describe the odors that occasion such strong emotions, however. English possesses almost no abstract smell words that pick out links or themes among unrelated aromas(芳香).

We have plenty of these in the visual field. “Yellow,” for example, identifies a characteristic that bananas, lemons, some cars, some flowers, old book pages, and the sun all share.

But for odors, we don’t have many more than the vague “musty” (smells old and stale) and “musky” (smells perfumey). We usually have no choice but to say that one thing smells like another – like a banana, like garlic, like diesel fuel.

A few languages, though, do have a rich odor vocabulary. Linguist Asifa Majid has found that the Jahai, the Semaq Beri, and the Maniq, hunter-gatherer groups in Malaysia and Thailand, employ a wide range of abstract smell words and can identify aromas as easily as we can colors. The Jahai have a word, for example, that describes “the seemingly dissimilar smell of petrol, smoke, bat poop, root of wild ginger and wood of wild mango.”

Last year my cat got sprayed by a skunk(臭鼬), and the vet told me to wash its face with coffee to cover the bad smell. Until then, I had never realized that coffee, which I find delicious, smells remarkably like skunk spray, which I do not.

Science has identified the chemicals that both share. They are called mercaptans (硫醇). But in oral English, we have no word for the underlying note that connects these two odors. If the Jahai drank coffee and encountered skunks, I bet they would.

1.The opening paragraph is mainly intended to  .

A.express the writer’s affection for his grandmother

B.direct the readers’ attention to a linguistic problem

C.tell us the odor of the grandmother’s house stayed the same

D.prove smell has a greater power than visual memories

2.Which of the following is related to olfactory memories?

A.Forming an image in mind after seeing the word “injury”.

B.Feeling sympathetic when seeing a sick cat.

C.Dancing to the music upon hearing it played.

D.Missing fried eggs with garlic cooked by mum.

3.The example of the Jahai suggests that  .

A.the Jahai don’t have many words in the visual field

B.English possesses many vague words like “musty” and “musky”

C.the Jahai has more abstract smell words than English

D.skunk and coffee have the same smell, but different functions

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A.The author feels pity about the limitation of his language.

B.English has a wide range of visual and odor vocabulary.

C.Olfactory memories can bring nothing but pleasant feelings.

D.Cultures worldwide always collide with each other.

    What would you do if you had invited friends to your house and they asked you for directions? Well, you could draw a map! And, if you did, you most likely would include your street and theirs, as well as the landmarks between the two. Using these places on the map as markers, your friends can then plan the best route to take.

Generally speaking, a map is an illustration of the earth’s surface, and a person who draws maps is called a cartographer. But how are maps made? In prehistoric times, hunters would sometimes draw their hunting territories on cave walls. In the millennia that followed, maps would have been painted by hand on various materials, including clay, ivory, and even the hide of an animal.

Fast forward to modern times. With the invention of such tools as compasses, telescopes, and sextants, cartographers were able to define and show distances much more accurately. Today, aerial photography, satellite images, and computer software such as Geographical Information Systems (GIS) have made mapmaking even more precise. For example, mapmakers are now able to illustrate the physical features of our earth. Using satellite images, they can create three-dimensional maps that exceptionally correct.

Do all maps show the same contents? No! There are many different types of maps. Physical maps  give us views of the earth’s continents, mountains, forests, and waterways. Political maps identify  countries and their boundaries. Economic maps offer information about the agricultural products or minerals found in a certain region. There are also maps that detail the climate or the population density in a particular location.

Of course, there are maps that offer details other than those connected with land masses. Nautical maps, for instance, are important tools for ship captains. They include information about the depth of the water, land formations along the coastline, navigational dangers, harbors, and bridges. They also provide data on tides and currents, as well as the earth’s magnetic field. Aeronautical maps help airplane pilots to determine position and altitude, and assist ground controllers in airport towers with planning and deciding the best route to a particular destination. In emergency situations, aeronautical maps can help responders locate an alternative landing area.

Today, people who have no special map training can observe the world from above without having to leave their homes. Most likely, you have used software such as Google Earth or Google Maps. Thanks to satellite images, we can now easily spot the smallest details of our house and environment by using the Internet. Not everyone, however, is fond of these tools, because their easy access may lead to violations of privacy. Lawmakers around the world are presently addressing this issue.

1.The author mentions inviting friends to your house at the beginning to indicate that ___ .

A.details in maps matter more than land masses

B.maps have a significant place in our life

C.planning routes is the key to reaching destinations

D.it is necessary to get satellite images accurately

2.Which of the following maps mainly focus on details?

A.Aeronautical maps. B.Political maps.

C.Climatic maps. D.Economic maps.

3.What is the main purpose of the passage?

A.To underline the importance of drawing maps.

B.To compare prehistoric maps and modern maps.

C.To appeal to address the issue of violations of privacy.

D.To introduce the development and functions of maps.
