Classes for preschool children aged five and under start at 10 am. Classes last 30 minutes and parents must attend with their children. Don't forget to book in advance, as places are limited, and to pack some warm clothes for after the lesson.‎ Woman's aerobics (有氧运动). Sessions are for one hour and begin at 10:45 am, led by Melissa. Come along and join us every Monday for an exhilarating hour of exercise and fun. Leave your kids at the nursery and take time out for yourself. Wear a track-suit or something similar.‎ Lunchtime yoga. Take a break at lunchtime (1:00—2:00 pm) for an hour of meditation and yoga. Enjoy the peace and quiet of our meditation room, and relaxing sessions designed for active people with busy lives. Use your own mat (垫子) for floor work or hire one from us for a small sum.‎ Family Shootaround. 10:00-5:30 pm. Family Shootaround is open for members and guests to bring the family out for basketball. Half court games are only during this time. There are no full court games during Family Shootaround hours. All participants must sign in at the front desk and wear a wristband during the play.‎ ‎21.When will Melissa be working?‎ A.From 10:00 am to 10:30 am. B.From 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm.‎ C.From 10:45 am to 11:45 am. D.From 10:00 am to 5:30 pm.‎ ‎22.Which activity may need extra fees?‎ A.Lunchtime yoga. B.Learn to swim C. Woman's aerobics.

D.The need to become a member.‎ B I didn't know how to say no, and was afraid to tell people what I wanted. Instead, I got myself tangled (纠结的) in a web of obligations, anxiety, and white lies.‎ The worst thing was that I didn't even realize what I was doing. I thought I knew how to say "no"—but couldn't remember the last time I had. Like a lot of people, I just wanted to be accepted, appreciated, loved—and that the only way to get those things was to put everyone else's needs before my own.‎ I never seemed to have time for things I really wanted to do. I'd like to learn Spanish, write more fiction, and travel. These aren't huge, unrealistic goals. And yet, my people-pleasing ways dramatically cut into my free time to pursue these desires.‎ But recently, I decided I'd had enough. As an experiment, I began standing up for myself, even at the risk of alienating (使疏远) myself from everyone and having my entire life come crashing down around me. Several days ago, a good friend asked me to go for coffee at 5 p.m. I was planning to hit the gym and then binge—watch Mad Men for the millionth time. I said, "Sorry, I've got things I want to do tonight." She said, "That's fine. Maybe another time." It was all so painfully simple that I wanted to cry.‎ Saying "no" is so much easier. If someone asks me to do something I have zero interest in, I'm polite but honest. "I'm sorry, I don't think that's really for me." The words slip out my mouth faster than some other lame excuses.‎ Learning how to say "no" has added several extra hours to my days, days to my weeks, and what feels like months to my years. I no longer have to back-burner my plans to help friends with their job search, or set aside a weekend to read a book draft by someone I barely know. Saying "no" has set me free.‎ ‎24.Why was the author afraid of saying "no"?‎ A.She didn't want to tell lies. B.She wanted to make more friends.‎ C.She wanted to please every one. D.She was always willing to help others.‎ ‎25.What was the bad point of being afraid of saying "no"?‎ A.She alienated many friends. B.She was kept busy all day long.‎ C.She felt depressed now and then. D.She had no time for her own hobbies.‎ ‎26.What was her friend's reaction when she said "no" to her?‎ A.Natural. B.Painful. C.Angry. D.Disappointed.‎ ‎27.How did the author feel after she had learnt to say "no"?‎ A.Lonely. B.Relaxed. C.Confident. D.Lost.‎ C On average, American kids ages 3 to 12 spent 29 hours a week in school, eight hours more that they did in 1981. They also did more household work and participated in more of such organized activities as soccer and ballet (芭蕾舞). Involvement in sports, in particular, rose almost 50% from 1981 to 1997: boys now spend an average of four hours a week playing sports; girls log half that time. All in all, however, children’s leisure time dropped from 40% of the day in 1981 to 25%‎ ‎“Children are affected by the same time crunch (危机) that affects their parents,” says Sandra Hofferth, who headed the recent study of children’s timetable. A chief reason, she says, is that more ‎ mothers are working outside the home. (Nevertheless, children in both double-income and “male breadwinner” households spent comparable amounts of time interacting with their parents 19 hours and 22 hours respectively. In contrast, children spent only 9 hours with their single mothers.)‎ All work and no play could make for some very messed-up kids. “Play is the most powerful way a child explores the world and learns about himself,” says T. Berry Brazelton, professor at Harvard Medical School Unstructured(unorganized）play encourages independent thinking and allows the young to handle their relationships with their peers, but kids ages 3 to 12 spent only 12 hours a week engaged in it.‎ The children sampled spent a quarter of their rapidly decreasing “free time” watching television. But that, believe it or not, was one of the findings parents might regard as good news. If they’re spending less time in front of the TV set, however, kids aren’t replacing it with reading. Despite efforts to get kids more interested in books, the children spent just over an hour a week reading. Let’s face it, who’s got the time?‎ 28. By mentioning “the same time crunch” (Line 1, Para. 2) Sandra Hofferth means ______.‎ ‎　　A. children have little time to play with their parents ‎　　B. both parents and children suffer from lack of leisure time ‎　 C. children are not taken good care of by their working parents ‎　　D. both parents and children have trouble managing their time ‎ ‎29. According to the author a child develops better if _______.‎ ‎　　A. he has plenty of time reading and studying ‎　　B. he has more time participating in school activities　‎ C. he is left to play with his peers in his own way ‎　　D. he is free to interact with his working parents ‎30. We can infer from the passage that _______.‎ ‎　　A. extracurricular activities（after-class activities） promote children’s intelligence ‎　　B. most children will turn to reading with TV sets switched off ‎　　C. efforts to get kids interested in reading have been fruitful ‎　　D. most parents believe reading to be beneficial to children 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，并在答题卡将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Get out your shovels, your seeds, and your soil—it's almost April 22. Here are four fun ways to celebrate Earth Day with your kids.‎ Plant a tree.‎ Since the first Earth Day in 1970, planting trees has been a traditional way of celebrating the holiday. Try planting one in your own backyard, or attending a local tree-planting event. In its lifetime, that single tree will absorb approximately one ton of carbon dioxide. 31 .‎ Spend the day without a car.‎ ‎ 32 . Yet, challenge yourself to make your way through the day without hopping in the car. Walking, biking, or catching the bus will keep your carbon dioxide emissions down and show the kids there are other fun ways of traveling.‎ Take a walk in nature.‎ Perhaps the most obvious Earth Day activity is a nature walk. Make a list of things you'd like to ‎ find and check them off on your walk. 33 . Go through the colors of the rainbow and try and find an object in that color on your walk.‎ Attend a community activity.‎ Show your kids it's not just Mom and Dad who care about Earth Day. Tons of people will show up for local events as well! 34 . We guarantee you will find some activities like park cleanup, recycling demos, or tree-planting ceremony.‎ ‎ 35 .‎ When it comes to taking care of Earth, we all need to do our share. Take your kids to the local playground and give them each a pair of gloves and a small garbage bag. Task them with picking of scraps of trash as fast as they can—whoever fills up their bag first, wins. Once you get back home, enjoy some Earth Day movies.‎ A. Play the clean-up game B. Remember that every day can be Earth Day C. If you don't feel like making a list, try a color search D. Check out your newspaper the week leading up to the holiday E. On Earth Day, we realize what we can do to preserve our natural resources F. And there are a lot more surprising facts about trees you can share with your kids G. Depending on where you live, this will bring varying degrees of problem to travel 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题，每小题1分，满分20分）‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。‎ ‎ " Just sign here, sir," the deliveryman said as he handed Oscar Reyna a package. ‎ ‎ The package consisted of a long , narrow box 36 wrapped in brown paper. 37 the box , Oscar saw an umbrella inside— a very old one with a beautifully carved wooden handle. 38 , he had not seen it in more than 20 years , he recognized it 39 . ‎ ‎ Oscar was 16 when he first saw the 40 umbrella.
