When you think of New York City, you think of the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building and the city’s world-famous museums. So, it makes sense that when you visit New York City, you want to visit those same quintessential New York sights. The New York CityPASS offers entry to six top New York City attractions for a single, discounted price, making it possible – and easy – to visit everything on your dream New York City agenda. The pass is valid for nine consecutive (连续的) days, making it a flexible choice for visitors who want to explore at a leisurely pace.

With New York CityPASS, visitors can get up close and personal with Lady Liberty and trace family roots at Ellis Island; experience a bird’s eye view of the city from 86th floor of the Empire State Building; visit the jaw-dropping collection of the largest art museum in the Western Hemisphere at the Metropolitan Museum of Art; and wow at the towering dinosaur skeletons at the American Museum of Natural History. The pass also lets you choose between either Top of the Rock or the Guggenheim Museum as well as the 9/11 Memorial & Museum or the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space

Museum.

If you choose to visit the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, the available entry time is 2pm or later from April through September. From October through March you may visit during regular museum hours. Last entry is always two hours prior to close.

There’s so much to see and so little time, so you won’t want to waste one New York minute waiting in line. In addition to the admission price, New York CityPASS holders can skip ticket and wait lines – a luxury when visiting special exhibits at the Metropolitan Museum of Art or the Empire State Building, where waits can be as long as three hours.

IMPORTANT: Available attractions are subject to change without notice. 21. What does the New York CityPass not offer?

A. Entry to six top New York City attractions. B. A flexible choice.

When I was a boy my father told me that he could do anything he wanted to. Dad said that he wanted to be the first to develop color prints in our city and so he did.

When I was 16, Dad looked closely at the violin I played and said that he wanted to make one.He read about violin-making, and then became a violin-maker at the age of 43. He bought the tools and materials, opened a small store and set Mom up as the shopkeeper, while he worked at a local company. He retired from the company 17 years later and continued to make violins and other instruments.

Dad often guessed why the Stradivarius violins sounded so beautiful. Some experts told him that it was the special varnish (油漆) that gave the instruments their beautiful sound. Dad argued that chemists could analyze the varnish—if that was the answer. One of Dad’s friends asked him which kind of wood was used to make violins. When Dad explained that the top was made of spruce (云杉) , his friend said that he had all old piece of spruce which Dad might be interested in.

He worked for the next 12 months making a violin from the wood that his friend had given him. It proved to be an excellent violin and it would become Dad’s masterpiece. He believed that the secret of the Stradivarius sound was in the wood itself. Later, the instrument was stolen, Dad’s spirit was broken and he stopped making instruments. But he kept the music shop until he was 80 years old, selling guitars and violins. The violin has been missing for more than 25 years. Somewhere a musician is playing a late-20th-century violin with an excellent tone. The owner today may never understand why this ordinary-looking violin sounds so much like Stradivarius.

24. In Paragraph l, the writer mentioned his father’s developing color prints to . A. let others know that he believed his father

3

B. show that his father would like to make violins C. prove that his father could do anything he wanted to D. give an example showing that his father was an inventor

25. The reason why the Stradivarius violins sounded beautiful was that_________.

A. they were made by experts. B. the wood of the violins was special.

C. the way of making them was unusual. D. the varnish was different from the others. 26. Which of the following statements is true about the missing violin?

A. It was a Stradivarius violin. B. It was made of spruce

C. It was not found until his father was 80 D. It must be valued by its new owner. 27. What kind of person is the writer’s father?

A. Pround and funny B. Talented and diligent C. Pessimistic and lazy D. Creative and aggressive

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving Day and the Friday before Cyber Monday in the United States. It is a busy shopping day and is a holiday in some states. For many American consumers, it is the day when you can get great deals on goods that may eventually become Christmas presents. Many people have a day off work or choose to take a day from their quota of annual leave on Black Friday.

But why is it \"black\" Friday? There are a couple of stories. But the most commonly cited one has to do with ink, paper, and accounting. By the early 1980s, a theory began to be circulated: that retailers traditionally operated at a financial loss for most of the year (January through November) and made their profit during the holiday season, beginning on the day after Thanksgiving.

When this would be recorded in the financial records, once-common accounting practices would use red ink to show negative amounts and black ink to show positive amounts. Black Friday, under this theory, is the beginning of the period when retailers would no longer have losses (the red) and instead take in the year's profits (the black).

The Christmas shopping season is of enormous importance to American retailers and, while most retailers intend to and actually do make profits during every quarter of the year, some retailers are so dependent on the Christmas shopping season that the quarter including Christmas produces all the year's profits and compensates for losses from other quarters. So there you have it. It's about how much money retailers are making from you and me. 28. According to the first paragraph, Black Friday is ___________.

A. the Friday before Thanksgiving B. the Friday when Americans can have a day off C. a federal holiday in the United States D. a public holiday in some states of America 29. What is the origin about Black Friday according to the passage?

A. There are many different stories about it including some religious ones. B. It is maybe about once-common accounting practices.

C. It is because so many people go shopping that day that it always leads to tragedies. D. It is to show respect for the ancient. 30. What do we know from the passage?

A. All the retailers depend on the profits on Black Friday to compensate for the previous loss. B. Black Friday is a great chance for retailers to make profits.

C. Christmas shopping season is the only profitable season to the retailers. D. most retailers are in red before the Christmas shopping season.

31. What is the best title of the reading passage?

A. Black Friday’s origin. B. Black Friday in the United Kingdom C. Black Friday and its origin D. Stories about Black Friday

D

When people introduce themselves, I always hear them say \"I'm just a housewife\". I don't understand why their introduction is always filled with regret and self-pity. Is it really a crime to be a housewife? Is it really embarrassing when you choose not to work outside and instead choose to work in your home?

How could you be \"just a housewife\" when the basic social unit of society depends on you and your service? A housewife works for the longest hour, supporting your husband, child studies, caring for elders, managing finances, paying bills, grocery shopping, cooking according to individual tastes, cleaning, etc. A housewife could be anyone: daughter, wife, mother, teacher, financial advisor, fashion designer and nurse, gardener, driver, cook, and so on. Don't think you are not being paid for it. You deserve the reward that no money can offer---the love and affection of your family, their trust, a happy home and your own satisfaction.

It is you who choose to be in this occupation, willingly or for any other reason. After a busy day, all wait to return to the comfortable home set by you. They know you will be there to absorb all their stress and tiredness and relax them. Would the life have been the same had you been working outside to earn some money? Would you along with your family have been able to buy all the content in life that you are enjoying now with that money?

Respect yourself for what you are. Introduce yourself to the world with the same dignity. The world understands the importance of your job; it's time to make them accept it. Introduce

yourself with pride and with twinkle in your eyes \"I am a housewife\". Kick that \"just\" out. 32. Housewives often use \"just\" when introducing themselves because ____________.

A. they are willing to mention this occupation B. housewives' services are very basic C. they feel a little pity about themselves D. their work is very easy such as cleaning and cooking

33. Listing the housewife's duties, the author implies that . A. a housewife usually leads a hard life B. a housewife plays a more important role

C. the family should help to release a housewife's burden D. a housewife makes a great contribution to the family 34. If a housewife worked outside, __________ . A. the family would have the same life like before B. no one would set a comfortable home for her family C. she could absorb her family's stress D. she would enjoy buying the content in life

35. What is the author's attitude towards housewives?

A. Respectful. B. Doubtful. C. Opposed. D. Tolerant. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
