As the nation’s capital city, there are hundreds of attractions to visit. Here are some of the most famous ones.‎ Washington Monument ‎ The Washington Monument rises 555 feet, following the design of architect Robert Mills, a famous American designer of the 1840s. Construction of the monument began in 1848, but was not completed until 1884, almost 30 years after Mr. Mills’death. This delay in construction was due to the American Civil War.‎ Constitution Avenue and 15th Street NW, Washington, DC 20560 ‎ ‎(202) 426-6841‎ U.S. Capitol The cast-iron dome（圆顶屋）of the United States Capitol, constructed between 1855 and 1866, may well be the most famous man-made landmark in America. The United States Capitol is open to visitors from Monday to Saturday through much of the year, including Federal holidays.‎ First Street NE Washington, DC ‎ ‎(202) 224-3121‎ The White House The White House, is the official residence and workplace of the President of the United States. The West Wing houses the President’s office. The East Wing, which contains additional office space, was added to the White House in 1942. ‎ ‎6th Street and Constitution Avenue NW Washington, DC 20565‎ ‎(202) 737-4215‎ World War II Memorial The World War II Memorial was opened to the public on April 29, 2004 as a service to the World War II generation. The Memorial is a tribute to the World War II generation to those who served in uniform as well as those who worked in the nation factories and mines manufacturing necessary supplies. The Memorial takes its place between the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument.‎ ‎17th Street and Independence Avenue SW Washington, DC 20006‎ ‎(202) 619-7225‎ ‎21.

Saturday ‎23. Which of the following attractions has the shortest history? ‎ A. The Washington Monument B. The United States Capitol C. The White House D. The World War II Memorial B Yoga（瑜伽）is an ancient practice that helps create a sense of union body, mind, and spirit. It brings us balance. After a long time of practicing yoga, you no longer just practice it — you love it.‎ Yoga becomes part of your physical life. Your body grows stronger, more toned（有弹性的）, and more flexible as you move from one pose to another. I spent a week in Mexico at a yoga retreat, and it was the first vacation on which I lost weight. “Rather than building muscles, yoga builds muscle tone,” says Shakta Kaur Khalsa, author of KISS Guide to Yoga. “Because yoga helps maintain a balanced metabolism（新陈代谢）, and it also helps to control weight. Additionally, yoga stretches muscles lengthwise, causing fat around the cells disappear, thus losing weight.” I do yoga poses throughout the day. After hours at my computer, I stretch my stiff shoulders and arms. When I need an increase in energy, I do energizing poses. When I am feeling exhausted at the end of the day, I do restorative（恢复体力的）poses.‎ Yoga becomes part of your mental life. Yoga teaches you to focus on breathing while you hold the poses. This attention to breath is calming; it dissolves（使消除）stress and anxiety. I use yogic breathing on the tennis court, in the dentist’s chair, and when I’m stuck in traffic.‎ You should always leave a yoga practice feeling energized, but not tired. If you feel tired after yoga, it means you spent the time “fighting” yourself, trying to force yourself into poses. In yoga, actually, you should “surrender” to the poses by letting go of the tension.‎ ‎24. According to the second paragraph, yoga can help people ___.‎ A. lose weight B. make friends C. be flexible in thinking D. grow tall ‎25. Why does a person feel tired after yoga?‎ A. Because when practicing yoga, people will consume a lot of energy.‎ B. Because he or she surrenders to the poses by letting go of the tension.‎ C. Because he or she doesn’t do yoga poses naturally.‎ D. Because yoga doesn’t benefit all the people.‎ ‎26. What would be the best title for this passage?‎ A. What’s yoga? ‎ B. The benefits of yoga.‎ C. How do I do yoga poses? ‎ D. The varieties of yoga.‎ ‎27. What will be talked about if this passage continues?‎ A. The disadvantages of yoga. ‎ B. Yoga is becoming popular all over the world.‎ C. Encouraging people to do yoga. ‎ D. Yoga is becoming part of your spiritual life.‎ C The human body is designed to move. But modern lifestyles and office jobs rarely give us the chance to move around. As we know, we’re sitting while we’re eating; we sit in the car and we sit while we watch TV. And many of us sit for many hours at work.‎ New research shows that sitting less than three hours a day might extend your life by two years. Peter Katzmarzyk, a scientist at the University of Louisiana in the southern United States, says that sitting is ubiquitous in our lives, meaning it is something we do all the time, everywhere. However, Mr. Katzmarzyk says that does not mean you can sit for the rest of your waking hours. He also says you may exercise often. It’s extremely important. ‎ Mr. Katzmarzyk and his colleagues are part of a new generation of researchers studying how sitting all day affects length of life. “Studies that assess(评定) the relationship between sitting and mortality (死亡率) or television viewing and mortality are very rare. There’s only been a few of them, actually five or six now, in the last four or five years.” They found that cutting television time to less than two hours a day could add one point four years to life.‎ Luckily, change is already coming to some offices, especially in the design of desks. A “standing desk” lets people stand while they work. Another new design is called the “treadmill desk.” A treadmill is an exercise machine that lets you walk in one place. Even some U.S. schools are beginning to experiment with desks that are part bicycle to keep children moving. That’s one of the strategies that many companies are using now.‎ Mr. Katzmarzyk also says studying this problem has inspired his team to make a few changes in their own lives.‎ ‎28. The underlined word “ubiquitous” is closest in meaning to ________． ‎ A. dangerous B. awkward C. comfortable D. common ‎29. Which view agrees with the opinion of Mr. Katzmarzyk? ‎ A. Sitting too long may help increase one’s life.‎ B. Exercise is important and don’t sit too long.‎ C. Watching TV is bad, but can broaden one’s horizons.‎ D. Stopping watching TV is a necessary but hard task.‎ ‎30. What does Mr. Katzmarzyk think of his study in Paragraph 3 ? ‎ A. It’s a relatively new area of study. B. It’s a hot subject studied by experts.‎ C. It’s a popular study among the experts. D. It’s not ignored by many experts.‎ ‎31. Why are the desks of all kinds designed for those who sit more? ‎ A. To give them more comfort. B. To improve their work efficiency.‎ C. To offer them the chance to exercise. D. To seek pleasure while working. ‎ D ‎ Pigeons may only have a brain the size of a thimble (顶针), but it appears that pigeons can categorize(分类) and name objects in the same way human children learn new words. A new study from the University of Iowa has shown that the birds are capable of learning to categorize 128 different photographs into 16 basic categories.‎ Scientists taught three pigeons to sort out different kinds of dogs or types of shoes, for example by using a particular symbol in exchange for a reward. When they were shown black and white pictures of previously unseen dogs or shoes, the birds were able to correctly match these with the corresponding(相应的) symbols. The scientists behind the project say this is a similar approach taken by young children when they are first learning words for objects. However, the researchers said it took their birds around 40 days to perfect the task of learning just 16 categories.‎ Professor Edward Wasserman, who led the work, said: “Our birds’ rate of learning appears to have been quite slow. Because our pigeons came to the experiment with no background knowledge at all. Thus, the more relevant (相关的)comparison group may be newborn babies, who indeed take 6–9 months to learn their first words.” Would children learn faster than pigeons? Almost certainly.‎ Pigeons are known to be smarter than many birds. Professor Bob McMurray, who also took part in the study, said the results showed that human learning is not as unique as was previously believed. He said: “Children are facing a huge task of learning thousands of words without background knowledge to go on. For a long time, people thought that such learning is special to humans. However, what this research shows is that the ways in which children solve this huge problem may be shared with many species.‎ ‎32. What’s the main idea of this passage?‎ A. Pigeons and young children take a similar approach to learn words.‎ B. Pigeons are known to be smarter than newborn babies.‎ C. Pigeons recognize objects in the same way children learn words.‎ D. Pigeons are unique as they can learn like humans.‎ ‎33. Why does the writer think newborn babies are the more relevant comparison group?‎ A. They don’t have any background knowledge either.‎ B. They learn relatively quickly.‎ C. Pigeons and newborn babies learn at a same speed.‎ D. Young children are smarter.‎ ‎34. From the passage, we can learn that .‎ A. learning without background knowledge is unique to humans B. many species may be able to learn without background knowledge C. pigeons are able to solve most huge problems D. pigeons are known to be the smartest birds ‎35.The passage is intended to .‎ A. introduce pigeons B. prove a fact ‎ C. support an opinion D. report a study 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 ‎ If you are already making the time to exercise, it is good indeed! With such busy lives, it can be hard to try and find the time to work out. 36 Working out in the morning provides additional benefits beyond being physically fit.‎ Your productivity is improved. Exercising makes you more awake and ready to handle whatever is ahead of you for the day. 37 ‎ Your metabolism(新陈代谢) gets a head start. 38 If you work out in the mornings, then you will be getting the calorie(卡路里)burning benefits for the whole day, not in your sleep.‎ ‎ 39 Studies found that people who woke up early for exercise slept better than those who exercised in the evening. Exercise energizes you, so it is more difficult to relax and have a peaceful sleep when you are very excited.‎ ‎ 40 If you work out bright and early in the morning, you will be more likely to stick to healthy food choices throughout the day. Who would want to ruin their good workout by eating junk food? You will want to continue to focus on positive choices.‎ There are a lot of benefits to working out, especially in the mornings. Set your alarm clock an hour early and push yourself to work out! You will feel energized all day long.‎ A. You will stick to your diet.‎ B. Your quality of sleep improves.‎ C. You prefer healthy food to fast food.‎ D. There is no reason you should exercise in the morning.‎ E. You can keep your head clear for 4-10 hours after exercise.‎ F.
