The New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) works to ensure safe, fair, and sustainable movement for all New Yorkers and millions of visitors to get around the city. It manages roads, bridges, traffic signals, bike lanes, and even the Staten Island Ferry. Part of its service includes operating off-street parking garages and lots across all five boroughs: The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island.

These municipal parking facilities accept quarters, dollar coins, credit cards, and the ParkNYC app. Most parking fields do not allow overnight parking, but some garages are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (24/7). Parking after hours may result in a summons (传讯出庭), and vehicles are left without security.

Parking Rates (Effective October 1, 2024)

Each of the municipal parking garages and lots has their own rate structures, rules, and regulations. Detailed information for some facilities are found below.

Parking Reservation System

The Parking Reservation System (PRS) website allows the public to reserve parking spaces at municipal garages. Reservations open on the website five days before the first of the month at 10 am. All reservations, including monthly permits, are made for the upcoming month, on a first-come, first-served basis.

Obtaining a reservation does not guarantee that a parking permit will be issued. In order to finalize your reservation, you must pay for the permit at the garage manager’s office no later than the first day of the permit month that you are applying for.

21. What service by NYC DOT is the text mainly about?

A. Traffic safety.B. Off-street parking.

C. City sightseeing.D. Public transport.

22. Which borough has the highest 12-hour maximum parking fee?

A. Manhattan.B. Staten Island.C. Brooklyn.D. Bronx.

23. What should you do to ensure a parking permit?

A. Make a reservation on the PRS website.

Dr. Pauline Erica Tay didn’t always dream of becoming a scientist, though she had always loved biology and understanding how nature works. At first, she wanted to be a doctor. But she soon realized that path wasn’t right for her.

Today, she works as a biotech consultant at Celligenics, a young company in Singapore that uses stem cells to develop new treatments. Working at the crossroads of science, business, and society, she knew that to give sound advice on turning science into real products, she first had to understand the science deeply. That belief led her to earn a PhD in stem cell biology and spend eight years doing research. Some of her peers didn’t understand why, but Dr. Tay believed it was necessary. “If you haven’t gone through the process yourself, it’s hard to truly understand the science-and hard to bring it to the real world,” she explains.

At Celligenics, her role involves leading the company in turning innovative ideas into tangible products that can help people. Celligenics has developed a unique technology that collects a specific type of stem cell from the umbilical cords (脐带) of newborn babies. From these cells, they produce a cell-free liquid that supports the body’s natural healing processes. This liquid shows promise for applications such as wound healing and even cancer treatment.

In 2018, Celligenics secured its first round of funding from a Singapore-based company. This year, the company is focusing on bringing skincare products to market. In the long term, with additional funding and clinical trials, Celligenics aims to create medical products-like gels to help diabetic patients heal wounds, and injections to repair knee joints damaged by age or wear.

Dr. Tay’s journey shows that it’s okay to change direction. By staying curious and building a strong foundation, she now bridges the gap between science and the real world-helping turn bold ideas into action.

24. Why did Dr. Tay spend eight years doing research?

A. To fulfil her peers’ expectations.

B. To change the path of her career.

C. To obtain insights into science.

D. To realize her childhood dream.

25. What is Dr. Tay’s main work at Celligenics?

A. Doing scientific research in the lab.B. Seeking funding for her company.

C. Promoting the sales of new products.D. Turning science into real products.

26. What do we learn about Celligenics’ cell-free liquid?

A. It helps repair knee joints.B. It helps the body heal itself.

C. It’s a new skincare product.D. It works best for the elderly.

27. What does Dr. Tay’s story show?

A. Practice makes perfect.B. Knowledge is power.

C. Foundation is essential.D. Stick to your dream.

C

What does “environmentally friendly” mean to you? You might think of recycling programs, reusable bags, or windmills. But you probably didn’t picture seaweed!

People have been talking lately about seaweed farming as a way to help fight climate change. Why? Because farming seaweed doesn’t need many resources. Seaweed also absorbs carbon dioxide as it grows. But just because it could help doesn’t mean it will! Recently, a mathematical model was used to study five farming scenarios in British Columbia, Canada, varying factors like location, growth rate, and how the harvested seaweed taken into account.

The key finding was surprising: growing seaweed for direct carbon removal (e.g., sinking it in the ocean to remove carbon dioxide from the water) is not effective. In all scenarios, the emissions from farming, processing, and transportation outweighed the carbon removed, even when expanded areas or much faster growth were concerned.

However, using seaweed to replace carbon-intensive products has major potential. This “carbon avoidance” strategy yielded the greatest benefit. In the best scenario, replacing conventional products with seaweed-based alternatives (like food, feed, or materials) avoided 10 times more carbon dioxide emissions than simply sinking the seaweed.

Thus, seaweed’s main climate value resides not in being a direct carbon sink, but as a low-carbon substitute for everyday items. Seaweed has many uses as a food. You can dry it to make snacks, put it in soups, or even make cooking oils from it. Growing plants for animal feed is a big source of carbon emissions worldwide. The right kinds of seaweed can be healthy for many farm animals. Using seaweed for animal feed would also make it so that less land would need to be used for farms. And the uses of seaweed aren’t limited to foods! It can be used to make fertilizer, plastic, shampoo, and even fuel.

But as with any new product, it’s going to take a lot of creativity for people to find the best ways to use seaweed in their daily lives. Think about your day-to-day activities at home and at school. How many things can you find that could be replaced with seaweed products?

28. What is the general opinion about seaweed farming?

A. Eco-friendly.B. Energy-saving.

C. Pollution-free.D. Weather-resistant.

29. What is seaweed’s greatest environmental benefit according to the text?

A. Purifying the atmosphere.B. Being a direct carbon sink.

C. Saving natural resources.D. Being a green replacement.

30. How is paragraph 5 of the text developed?

A. By logical reasoning.B. By providing statistics.

C. By giving examples.D. By making comparisons.

31. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?

A. Seaweed has more uses than we think.

B. Seaweed products are now widely used.

C. Seaweed products have an unclear future.

D. Seaweed may replace all daily products.

Speaking multiple languages could slow down brain ageing and help prevent cognitive decline, a study of more than 80,000 people has found. The study suggests multilingual people are half as likely to show signs of accelerated biological ageing as those who speak just one language.

“We wanted to address one of the most persistent gaps in ageing research, which is if multilingualism can actually delay ageing,” says the co-author Agustín Ibáñez. Previous research has suggested speaking multiple languages improves cognitive functions such as memory and attention, which boosts brain health as we get older. But many studies rely on small sample sizes and unreliable methods of measuring ageing, leading to inconsistent and ungeneralizable results.

“This is the first study of this scale,” says Christos Pliatsikas, a cognitive neuroscientist (神经科学家) at the University of Reading, UK. The researchers used a computational approach to explore the link in 86,000 healthy participants aged 51-90 across 27 European countries. For each participant, they determined the biobehavioural age gap-the difference between chronological age (the number of years they have been alive) and ‘predicted’ age based on physiological, lifestyle and socioeconomic factors. A high gap signals faster ageing. Comparing this gap with the number of languages spoken, they found people who spoke only one language were twice as likely to have a high biobehavioural age gap as those who spoke two or more. “Just one additional language reduces the risk of accelerated ageing. When you speak two or three, the effect was larger,” says Ibáñez.

Such a large study really strengthens the interpretation that multilingualism, rather than other factors, protects us during ageing, says Susan Teubner-Rhodes, a cognitive psychologist at Auburn University. “It was using a really large sample and that allowed them to control for a number of confounders (干扰因子).” Future research should include more diverse populations outside Europe, she adds.

The researchers hope their findings will influence policymakers to encourage language learning in education.

32. What does the author think of the results of previous studies?

A. Reliable.B. Unconvincing.C. Groundless.D. Accurate.

33. The study found the biobehavioural age gap is high if people ______.

A. have a healthy lifestyleB. have a good memory

C. speak only one languageD. speak more languages

34. In which aspect will future research be improved?

A. The varieties of languages.B. The experimental design.

C. The age range of samples.D. The breadth of samples.

35. What is the significance of the findings?

A. Promoting foreign language learning.B. Advancing the brain science research.

C. Showing the process of brain ageing.D. Making flexible educational policies.

Everyone experiences the exhausting cycle of overthinking from time to time. Maybe you’re replaying an awkward conversation from years ago, or you’re stuck worrying about a big exam. 36 Here are a few simple, effective strategies that help you ground yourself and find some mental clarity.

·Write it all down.

One of the most powerful ways to manage overthinking is to get your thoughts out of your head and onto paper. 37 Whether you’re writing in a notebook or jotting down ideas on a sticky note, externalizing your thoughts can help reduce their intensity.

·Do something engaging.

When your thoughts start spiraling, distraction can be your friend — especially if it’s something that requires your full attention or brings you joy. 38 Redirecting your mental energy to an activity can help break the cycle of anxiety and bring you back into the present.

·39

Overthinking is often tied to the fear of the unknown or things that feel out of our control. Instead of getting stuck in “what ifs,” gently bring your focus to the things you can influence. Whether it’s setting boundaries, preparing for what’s ahead, or taking care of your body, small actions can help you feel more empowered and grounded.

·Talk it out.

40Talking to a trusted friend, family member, or therapist can give you a new perspective and remind you that you’re not alone. Sharing your thoughts out loud can help you sort through them more clearly and ease the emotional burden.

If you’re caught in a cycle of overthinking, remember that you’re not alone. With a few simple tools and some gentle self-compassion, you can calm your mind and reconnect with the present moment.

A. Focus on what you can control.

B. You’ll likely feel lighter and more focused.

C. In this regard, self-regulation will be a key aspect.

D. Go for a walk, play a game, or dive into a creative project.

E. Journaling gives your mind a place to release those racing thoughts.

F. It feels like you are trapped in a vicious cycle and hard to stay calm.

G. The best way to calm an overthinking mind is to let someone else in.

In a small town encircled by forests near Moscow, 7-year-year-old Filonenko Rodion had never thought his life would 56 (reshape)by a gift from China his mother brought home: a Pu’er tea cake — tea leaves compressed into the shape of a cake.

From then on, a routine 57 (take)root at the family breakfast table: before every meal, each family member would drink a cup of Pu’er brewed “as dark as oil”. Winters in Moscow were freezing. A 58 (mouth) of warm tea would spread heat slowly from his stomach through entire body. Rodion did not know what tea polyphenols (茶多酚)were. He was simply drawn to its comforting warmth and flavor 59 sparked his curiosity about China.

In 2018, Rodion traveled to China. He quit his commerce studies to enroll in a tea culture undergraduate program at 60 university in Hangzhou. He was fascinated by how fresh leaves go through complex procedures to become 61 (finish) tea. Each step hides endless mysteries. He would spend days in the laboratory 62  (observe) microbial changes during pile fermentation through a microscope. Every tea season, he followed his teachers 63 major tea-producing regions, refining his craft in mountains and factories.

When asked why he would travel so far 64 (study) tea in China, he said, “The answer lies in the first cup of Pu’er my mother brewed for me. When you are truly conquered by a flavor, you can’t help 65 seek its source.”

The Wayback Machine is an archive (档案库) of over one trillion web pages from across the internet. You can search back as far as 2004, or even earlier. Last night, while I was exploring it, I suddenly remembered a very special website — one I hadn’t visited since I was around 14 years old. It was a website my dad had made for me.

My dad used to be a doctor, and he passed away last year. When I was 11, he left my mom and me to work in Africa. On my 12th birthday, he sent me many gifts, including a diary with a butterfly on the front. I was a keen diarist as a child, so I was thrilled to receive such a beautiful diary. I immediately took it upstairs to my room to write in it, and soon I discovered a small message written on the inside back cover. It was addressed to me from my dad. He wrote how much he missed me and how he thought of me every day. At the end of the note, he said he had made a website just for me and wrote out the URL.

That night, after everyone had gone to bed, I sneaked down to the family computer and typed in the URL. What appeared on the screen absolutely shocked me. The website was filled with photos of my childhood that I had never seen before, as well as pictures of my dad and his life in Africa — also new to me. There were pages and pages of notes, letters, and poems, some he had written and some he had collected for me over the years. I felt incredibly special and deeply loved.

So last night, while using the Wayback Machine, I suddenly remembered that special website — though I wasn’t sure if it would still exist after all these years.

录音原文

Text 1

M: Do you walk to work every day?

W: No, it’s too far to walk. There is a bus that goes right by my house. But I do wish I had a car.

Text 2

M: The phone has been ringing for a long time, but Jack isn’t answering.

W: We should call the information desk and ask them to make an announcement. We don’t want all three of us to miss our flight.

Text 3

W: How much do I need to pay for sending this parcel by airmail to London, sir?

M: It depends on the weight. OK. That will cost forty dollars.

Text 4

W: Oh, don’t throw that away!

M: Why not? It’s been used already.

W: You can get a new label and put it on top of the old address, and then you can buy a bigger stamp and put it on top of the old stamp.

Text 5

M: This is the first time you haven’t done your homework. Is everything OK?

W: I’m sorry, sir. I’ve been a little stressed by my grandfather’s illness.

Text 6

M: Janet, I need you to hand in the sales report on Monday.

W: You must be joking. That’s not possible. Today is Thursday, and I usually spend at least a week writing it.

M: I know. But the sales meeting will be first thing on Monday morning. Would you consider working on Saturday?

W: Hmm, I have an idea. If you can get two other people to work with me today, I could put the report together tomorrow.

M: That’s not a bad idea. I think Rick and Sandy can help you.

Text 7

M: Hey! Susan, I heard you went to China last year. Did you stay there long?

W: Yes, I did. At first I just planned to stay there for two months, but then I extended it to double that. In the end I stayed another two months on top of that.

M: Wow, you must have greatly enjoyed your stay there. So, how was life there?

W: It was surprisingly convenient, even with the language barrier! People rarely carry cash. Instead, they pay with mobile apps like WeChat or Alipay. There are tons of apps for everything! I could order clothes, electronics, even groceries online and get them delivered within hours. It really spoiled me.

M: I heard with a history spanning thousands of years, Chinese cuisine is known for its rich flavors, diverse ingredients, and unique cooking techniques. You must have tasted so much of it during your trip!

W: Sure!

Text 8

M: I just found out about some amazing holiday courses at University of the Arts London. They offer them in spring, summer, and winter.

W: Really? That sounds interesting. Amy has been wanting to learn more about art. What courses do they offer?

M: There are 19 creative subjects to pick from, such as fashion design, jewellery design, and fine art.

W: That’s great. Amy really loves decorating clothes for her dolls. She’d definitely go for the first one. How long do the courses last?

M: They range from one to three weeks. We can choose the longest course because we don’t have any other plans for her before New Year.

W: That’s wonderful!

Text 9

M: Kizzie, you’ve just got a place on an astronaut training program, so tell us about it.

W: Well, first there’s the basic training, which takes sixteen months. Then there’s another year of learning about the International Space Station. After I’ve finished my training, I’d be ready for my first space flight—a short trip first, followed by a six-month mission on the Space Station.

M: Is there anything that you’re not looking forward to about going into space?

W: Everyone says the food is awful, but that doesn’t really bother me. I’d be busy too most of the time, which is good. I’m quite close to my two sisters and not seeing them for six months will be hard.

M: And what’s your biggest ambition?

W: I’m really interested in science and a lot of the experiments they do on the station are really exciting. It would be great to learn something new that could make a difference in people’s lives. As for the travel to other planets, like Mars, I’ll leave that to other young people!

W: Hello, I’m Louise Cannon. I’m very happy to share with you my journey as a book blogger. My love for reading began in childhood, but my blogging adventure truly started in 2018 when I had a conversation with Wendy H. Jones, a Scottish author, at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Then I did some research and taught myself how to blog.

Now I have been blogging for over 7 years. I must say I love it so much, from having contact with the authors, to the reading of the book, to the writing of the blog posts. I particularly love discovering books I have not considered before and being pleasantly surprised by them. I once read a book Journeys in the Wild by Gavin Thurston, an award-winning cameraman who films for the TV station. The book offers a profound look at the unpredictable and dangerous realities in remote wilderness, something I hadn’t known before. The good thing I’ve learned about myself through reading and book blogging is that I can just be myself and yet meet so many lovely people who seem to want and like to read my blogs. I’m lucky that I seem to have very kind followers.
