三、阅读理解
This summer，thousands of visitors are walking through a garden in the sky—right in the middle of New York City.They are enjoying a beautiful new park called the High Line，which was constructed on old railway tracks.
After the railway was abandoned in 1980，wild plants，grass and trees began to grow between the tracks.A few people looked at this natural garden and saw something amazing.They worked to preserve the area when others wanted to tear it down.Today，the High Line attracts up to two million visitors per year.This summer，the new part of the High Line opened，almost doubling the park’s length to a mile.
The design of the park is unique.The new section includes many activities for children.Young people can use building toys，including wheels，ropes and tools，to create one-of-a-kind structures.Instead，children use their imaginations to fashion forts，creatures and machines.Trees grow under and around it，giving you the feeling of walking through a jungle.
“Everyone supporting the High Line project wanted the park to embrace(环抱)the city，”says Danya Sherman，director of public programs for the Friends of the High Line.The Friends of the High Line is the group that saved the railway from being destroyed.Sherman believes that public spaces such as the High Line have the power to bring communities together.
The park also gives visitors a chance to experience nature in an urban environment.The designers have allowed the park to keep the overgrown(杂草丛生的)feeling that it had when it was an abandoned track.If you visit，you can see birds，butterflies and many plants native to the northeastern United States.
The Friends of the High Line organisation hopes to expand the park even further，over an area that is still used as a rail yard.The High Line has also inspired projects in other cities，including Philadelphia，Chicago and Amsterdam，where people hope to build new parks on old railway tracks.
1．Sherman tends to think that ______.
A．everyone should support the High Line
B．more railway tracks should be used for building parks
C．public spaces help build closer ties in communities
D．new parks on old railway tracks will certainly be built in other cities
2．Which of the following is TRUE of the High Line?
A．Visitors can enjoy the beauty of nature in it.
B．Visitors can avoid an overgrown feeling when visiting it.
C．The railway tracks are covered with grass and cannot be seen or felt.
D．The designers have planted many plants native to northwestern America.
3．Which of the following best describes the design of the High Line?
A．Funny.B．Creative.
C．Fashionable.
D．Traditional.
4．What is the main idea of the text?
A．People should make the most of public spaces.
B．Parks built on old railway tracks are becoming a new trend.
C．Young people enjoy playing in parks that are uniquely designed.
D．An old railway is transformed into a public park in New York City.
