Creating public spaces

Jin Hee Park is a student at Stanford University in California. She studies hard. “Of course, I came here for the academic（学术）,” she says. “But the campus is so beautiful. I walk around just to relax.”

Alejandro Vega, a banker in New York City, jogs almost every evening after work in Central Park. “I never get bored. The park is so big. It’s a public space, yet it can feel completely private.”

Niagara Falls was on Ross Howard’s list of places to visit in upstate New York. “There are these wonderful footpaths that make the falls so close to the general public.”

In 1857, a design contest was held for a new park in New York City. Frederick Law Olmsted and his partner, Calvert Vaux, won the contest. Central Park was the finished product - the first landscaped public park in the United States. Today, no trip to New York is complete without a visit to this beautiful park.

Later in his life, Olmsted designed landscapes for college campuses, like Stanford University. He also designed footpaths at Niagara Falls to give visitors better views of the falls. In all his work, Olmsted tried to protect the natural beauty of an area.

Today there are new pressures on Niagara Falls: some business want to develop the area, On Goat Island, an

Taking Action

At Seven Oaks Middle School, Daniela Carrera was searching for a club. There was a dance club, a choir, an exercise club, and an action club that found creative ways to

raise money for other people. Daniela was thinking about j 81 the dance club because dancing was her favourite.

Then Daniela’s friend Ciara told her about the action club’s new p 82 . At first, Daniela was puzzled. “Why would people in a nursing home want a video-game console（平台）?” she asked Ciara.

“This would be a s 83 kind of console that plays fitness games. The games help people who need to exercise but weren’t able to get to a gym or exercise a 84 out of their rooms. Besides, everybody loves video games, don’t they?” Ciara replied.

“Not my great - grandmother,” Daniela said, laughing. But she agreed to go to the club meeting the next day.

At the meeting, Mr. Washington, the club’s manager, d 85 to Daniela and the others how fitness video games helped encourage people to move. He explained how the consloes could help distract（使分心）people who s 86 from severe pains. That was all Daniela needed to hear.

“How can I help?” She asked as she signed up for the club.

“We’re selling raffle（抽奖增卖）tickets. With the money we get, we’ll buy two fitness consoles. We’ll give one to the w 87 of the raffle. We’ll give the other console to the nursing home,” explained Mr. Washington.

“Great! Let’s get started. I’m motivated to sell the tickets immediately!” said Daniela.

D.Answer the questions （根据以下内容回答问题）

The sixth sense

The “sixth sense” is often said to be a strong feeling that a person has about something or someone. Read about one mother’s experience.

I had a feeling ...

Kathy Sansano arrived home from work two months ago at 7:00 in the evening. “Usually, my husband is home before me, but when I got in, his briefcase was there, but he wasn’t,”recalls Sansano. She just thought that he want to the store for something. Sansano began preparing dinner, but couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong. “I just started feeling very anxious and had to sit down. Five minutes later my husband phoned to say that our son had been injured in a football game at school.”

Luckily, the boy only had a broken wrist, but Sansano still can’t explain how she knew something was wrong. “It might have been ‘mother’s intuition（直觉）’” she laughs. “My son and I have always been very close.”

Science points out five basic senses that humans use to experience the world. There is now evidence that human may also own a sixth sense -- or an intuition about people or events. Recent studies suggest that insects and animals release odorless(meaning “without any smells”) chemicals into the environment to send signal emotions such as fear or aggression（侵略）. When another creature of the same kind senses the chemical, certain behavior is caused in that creature; for example, it will prepare to fight or to protect itself.

Scientists believe that humans long ago may have communicated using these kinds of chemical signals. “I walked into the room, and something just didn’t seem right.” It may be that the person is sensing chemical messages that have been produced by others. Kathy Sansano’s husband may have left the house feeling afraid and worried about their son. When Kathy got home, she sensed his worry.

88.Kathy’s husband came home earlier than his wife that evening, didn’t he?

89.What happened to their son at school?

90.What made Kathy have the feeling that something was wrong?

91.According to recent studies, how do insects and animals send signal emotions?

92.What will you probably do if you sense the messages of “fear”?

93.Do you believe there is a sixth sense in life? Show you reason(s) or example(s).

Ⅶ. Writing （作文）

94.Write at least 60 words about the topic “makes me grow”（请以“让我成长”为题，写一篇不少于60 个词的短文，标点符号不占格。

（注意：文中不得出现考生的姓名、校名及其他相关信息，否则不予评分。）

在你的学习和生活经历中，其成长过程肯定有来自于自己的拼搏和坚持，还会有来自外力的辅助，它们可能是鼓励、帮助、甚至有批评。请你结合自己自身的感受，选取给你印象最深，影响最大的，理解、经历和感悟。
