【題目】 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.

【題目】 Dr. Faisal Zawawi, an Otolaryngologist and member of the McGill Auditory Sciences Laboratory, notes that when a person is exposed to loud noises it can cause short-term hearing loss but that under normal circumstances the body typically is able to repair the loss of hearing within 72 hours. However, Zawawi warns that if symptoms are not reversed (倒轉(zhuǎn)) in the first 72 hours the damage could become permanent. Due to findings in previous studies about it, Zawawi says that the team of researchers has suspected that something may stop this repair process; therefore, the team set out to determine if caffeine could be a contributing cause to hearing loss. According to the Medical Daily, the researchers tested what they suspected on female guinea pigs(FGP) (豚鼠).

To perform the test, 24 female guinea pigs were split into three equal groups with each group exposed in different levels to caffeine, and loud noises. The researchers found that the guinea pigs subjected to only sound had their full hearing recovered by day eight. However, the guinea pigs that were subjected to both caffeine and loud noise never fully regained their hearing. Therefore，the researchers concluded that caffeine is a likely contributing cause to permanent hearing loss.

“This research confirms that while a cup of coffee may seem appealing after a long night at a loud concert, drinking caffeine produces more of a risk than benefit when it comes to a person's hearing. Although further research is required to understand the effect on humans, the results are promising," says Zawawi. If the research proves successful, the removal of caffeine from your diet following noise exposure could prevent permanent hearing loss as the body will be more able to repair itself naturally.

【1】What caused the team to do the research?

A.Caffeine loving people suffering hearing loss.

B.The results about hearing loss found before.

C.The finding that FGPs are sensitive to noise.

D.The fact that many people drink coffee.

【2】What is Zawawi's view about temporary hearing loss?

A.Drinking coffee daily results in it.

B.Drink less coffee while suffering it.

C.Generally people can recover from it in 3 days.

D.The continuous noise exposure surely causes it.

【3】What can we learn about hearing from the text?

A.Coffee can stop it from recovering.

B.Coffee Can lead to quick hearing loss.

C.Hearing loss after noise exposure is normal.

D.Loud noise causes people to lose it forever.

【4】How does Zawawi assess the research?

A.It's controversial.B.It's unnecessary to carry it on.

C.It's not predictable.D.It's almost successful.

For healthy adults, experts say that eating a lot of fruit is unlikely to get you into trouble, as long as it's part of 【1】 normal diet.

The main concern with overeating fruit is 【2】 (it) natural sugar, yet research has always linked whole-fruit eating to a 【3】 ((reduce) risk for obesity and other diseases. That's because whole fruit has a few built-in 【4】(advantage) that seem to reduce any sugar-driven health risks. It contains two kinds of fiber, which form a barrier on the inside of the small intestine(腸).This barrier limits the rate of sugar absorbing so that the liver(肝) is not harmed, just like stopping a large wave 【5】 building an underwater wall. Fruit fiber also 【6】(help) food reach the final part of your small intestine sooner, so you tend to feel full 【7】(quick) after eating fruit. As a result, the chances you will overeat fruit are relatively low.

Some fruits may be better【8】(eat) than others. For example, berries have been linked to both better heart and better brain health. 【9】 grapes may need more self-control. They're mainly little bags of sugar.

If you love whole fruit, there's little evidence to show 【10】eating it - even a whole lot of it - is bad for your health.
