Children's Museum of Manhattan
This nearly 40,000-square-fbot institution makes learning about culture and science an enjoyable experience for kids. It also hosts classes and workshops which are all designed with the latest child-development research in mind.
Brooklyn Children's Museum
When it was founded in 1899, the BCM was the country's first museum specifically designed for children. Today, it's one of the most comprehensive museums, with a permanent collection of 30,000 objects, including musical instruments, masks, dolls and fossils. Kids have fun while learning at interactive exhibitions like “World Brooklyn"， a mini city lined by stores where children can make bread at the Mexican Bakery, or shop for candy at the International Grocery. .
DiMenna Children^ History Museum
Exhibitions and programs at this kid-focused arm of the New-York Historical Society transport children back through 350 years of U.S. history. Galleries stress the lives of kids who grew up to become famous doctors, athletes and political figures, and Little New-Yorkers classes invite kids to join in singalongs and make crafts.
Children's Museum of the Arts
This museum is especially designed for kids so that they can travel around the art world. The 10,000-square-foot institution has more than enough room to house its 2,000-piece collection of international children's art, including a huge center gallery to display it in. Artists lead workshops in classrooms, studios and media labs-which are famous for a sound station, a clay bar and the video-making equipment.

27、The widespread use of Internet technology has made our lives easier but causes a big challenge to senior citizens (长者), who are not always comfortable with smartphones and so many new apps.
Only a few senior citizens are able to enjoy the advantages that new technologies offer. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the number of people aged 60 and above was 253.88 million in 2019, about 18.1% of China's population. But only 23% of the senior citizens were able to use the Internet. That means more than three-fourths of the elderly are deprived (被剥夺) of the digital benefits.
Many senior citizens who can't use smartphones are facing difficulties during this pandemic (流行病)．Even with a smartphone in hand and Internet available, many of them still feel helpless. They don't know how to call a taxi through the apps. There have been reports of many shops turning away elders who don't know how to pay using smartphones, instead of letting them pay with cash. Worse still, as they don't know how to get the Internet-based health code (健康码), they are refused to enter many public places. Presenting individual health code is part of the epidemic prevention(防疫) and control measures.
New technologies become popular because they are often useful in our daily lives. But many senior citizens, especially those living in the countryside or those whose grown-up children don't live with them, are not able to use the Internet or smartphones, either because of financial(财政的) problems or because they cannot learn new things beyond a certain point. The digital gap between the elderly and the young is becoming more clear.
However, the senior citizens should not become a silent group deprived of digital benefits. It is our responsibility to help them bridge the digital gap, and be patient with them when they face difficulties catching up.
【1】What do the statistics show in Paragraph 2?
A．There are a small number of senior citizens in China.
B．Only 23% of the senior citizens can use the computer.
C．Three fourths of the elders are unwilling to use smartphones.

【2】What does the author try to tell us?
A．Cash is no longer accepted in most shops.
B．It's a must for everyone to have a health code.
C．Most elders need guidance on how to use the apps.
D．Many shops now refuse to offer service to the elderly.
【3】The elderly can't enjoy digital advantages for the following reasons EXCEPT ________.
A．their living areas
B．their financial conditions
C．their relationship with children
D．their difficulty in learning new things
【4】Which word best describes the author's attitude to the present situation of the elderly?
A．Positive
B．Worried
C．Negative

29、With attractiveness in its structure (结构) and in its presence, the Eiffel Tower has become a great site of France and Gustave Eiffel's architectural wonder. Also known as La Tour Eiffel, the Eiffel Tower is climbed by millions of visitors every year. Do you know how tall the Eiffel Tower is? Standing at 1, 063 feet tall, this is the second tallest building in France after the Millau Viaduct, a road bridge across the river Tarn. Nicknamed La Dame de Fer, or the iron lady, this tower is a symbol of France even today.
The tower was built between 1887 and 1889 as the entrance for the World Fair. This event was to mark the 100th celebration of the storming of the Bastille and the French Revolution. Ironically, at first, the tower was considered unpleasant by a lot of art enthusiasts. Several members from the arts community said it only ruined the empty skyline of the Paris city. French novelist Guy de Maupassant expressed his dislike for the tower by eating lunch every day at the tower's restaurant — his explanation was that it was the only place in Paris where one could not see the structure! Whatever may have been the opinion about the structure at the time, the fact remains that it became an object that attracted many people around the world.
The tower, weighing 10, 000 tons, includes several non-metallic (非金属的) parts as well. The metallic parts used in the structure weigh 7,300 tons, which, if melted (熔化), will fill up a 125-meter square with a depth of 6cm. At the time when the tower was built, the great structure amazed lots of engineers and common people. The Eiffel Tower needs 50~60 tons of paint every seven years to keep the rust (铁锈) away.
The structure decorates the Parisian skyline. Being one of the most visited sites in the world, the Eiffel Tower still remains an architectural wonder!
【1】What does “the iron lady" refer to in paragraph 1?
A．Gustave Eiffel.
B．The Eiffel Tower.
C．Millau Viaduct.
D．The river Tarn.
【2】The underlined word “Ironically" in the second paragraph means “______________".
A．impolitely
B．impossibly
C．unexpectedly
D．cautiously
【3】How much paint was probably used from 1996 to 2017 on the tower?
A．170 tons.
B．220 tons.
C．5,500 tons.
D．10,000 tons.
【4】What is the purpose of the third paragraph?
A．To show how huge the Eiffel Tower is.
B．To show the Eiffel Tower is a good entrance.
C．To show the materials used to build the Eiffel Tower.
D．To show how difficult it is to clean the Eiffel Tower.
30、Pope (罗马教皇) Francis wearing a massive, loose and white puffer coat. Elon Musk walking hand-in-hand with rival GM CEO Mary Barra. None of these things actually happened, but such AI-generated _______ did go viral online over the past week.
The situation demonstrates a new online reality: the _______ of a new crop of artificial intelligence tools has made it cheaper and easier than ever to create realistic images, as well as audio and videos. And these images are likely to pop up with increasing frequency on social media.
While these AI tools may enable new means of expressing creativity, the spread of computer-generated media also threatens to further _______ the information ecosystem. That risks _______ the challenges for users, news organizations and social media platforms to tell what’s real. There are also concerns that Al-generated images could be misused.
Images, compared to the Al-generated text, can be _______ powerful in provoking emotions when people view them, said Claire Leibowicz, head of AI and media integrity at the Partnership on AI. That can make it harder for people to slow down and _______ whether what they’re looking at is real or fake. _______, bad guys could eventually attempt to create fake content in quantity in order to confuse Internet users and provoke certain behaviors.
Computer-generated image technology has improved rapidly in recent years, from the photoshopped image of a shark swimming through a flooded highway to the websites that four years ago began mass producing mostly _______ photos of people. But in most cases, the creators of the recent hot images don’t appear to have been ill-intended.
There are _______ by platforms, AI technology companies and industry groups to improve the transparency when a piece of content is generated by a computer. Platforms including Meta’s Facebook and Instagram, Twitter and YouTube have policies restricting or even ________ the sharing of media that could mislead users. But as use of AI-generated technologies grows, even such policies could threaten to ________ user trust. If, for example, a fake image accidentally slipped through a platform’s detection system, it could give people false confidence. Although there’s a detection system that says it’s real, it’s actually not.
Work is also underway on technical solutions that would, ________, watermark an AI-generated image or include a transparent label in an image’s metadata, so anyone viewing it across the Internet would know it was created by a computer. “All these institutions are ________ disclosure and transparency,” Leibowicz said.
A group of tech leaders, including Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, this week wrote an open letter ________ artificial intelligence labs to stop the training of the most powerful AI systems for at least six months, citing “profound risks to society and humanity.” ________, it’s not clear whether any labs will take such a step. And as the technology rapidly improves and becomes accessible beyond a relatively small group of corporations doing responsible practices, lawmakers may need to get involved.
