It’s been two years since I came to Helsinki, and while I have already forgotten my confusion about street names, in my mind the structure of it is still forming. There are stages of adjustment to a new place — from loving all the new to hating just about everything — but feeling settled can take a while.
I consider New York City my second hometown. You fight your way into NYC. It isn’t easy. It isn’t cheap. It isn’t particularly friendly, at least until you’re used to a four-letter word as part of a compliment. So when I got to Helsinki, I was suspicious(怀疑的)of how easy it was(aside from the street names). People were friendly and nice.
Aside from the coffee and the cost of living, Helsinki and New York don’t have much in common; but I was born in the US Midwest, which was heavily influenced by Nordic immigrants(移民), so as foreign as it was, parts of Finnish life seemed familiar.
Still, I missed New York. I visited it last year, and went to my old coffee cart(咖 啡车), still in the same place. Although it was 2019, my mind insisted that it was 2007and I had never left. Or, I did: cities change, bit by bit, day by day, so slowly that they always seem the same, when you close your eyes for twelve years, even if everything looks the same when you open them, it isn’t. The slang(俚语）is slightly different; there are references to a TV show I’ve never seen.
In my mind, this was home. It was the place I saw when I dreamt of my childhood, long after I left it; and now I am the same as the tourists. So I get back on the plane to Finland. I’m leaving the ghost behind to return to a place where I’m real, and that is itself changing, bit by bit, day by day.
1.We can know from the passage that _____ .
A.it took the authors some time to adapt to Helsinki
B.the author has lived in Helsinki for many years
C.the author is tired of everything in Helsinki now
D.the author has never returned to New York since she left
2.When the author got to Helsinki at first, she _____ .
A.found people there were not friendly
B.was confused about street names
C.thought it was easy to praise people using four-letter words
D.thought the life in Helsinki was harder than that in New York
3.Why does the author feel familiar with parts of Finnish life?
A.Because her birthplace was affected by Nordic’ immigrants.
B.Because Finland has the same coffee as her hometown.
C.Because the cost of living in Finland is the same as that of her hometown.
D.Because Helsinki and New York have much in common.
4.Which of the following might be the title for passage?

Erica and Steve Lineberry have been rock climbing since 2005. They were first introduced to it while visiting a family in Montana. Now they are at climbing centers, like Inner Peaks in Charlotte, three times a week, and on weekends they climb outdoors.
Steve said they first started climbing as part of their exercise. Years later, he lost 60 pounds. But as the couple’s interest in the sport grew, they consulted some mentors and started climbing outdoors.
Then Erica got pregnant. "Most people think that rock climbing and pregnancy don’t go very well together," Erica said. But with lots of places to go, Erica kept climbing through her pregnancy. Then her son, Canaan, was born. She says the baby immediately started participating in the family sport. "He went to the gym the first time with us at four weeks old, and then we took our first outdoor trip, just a day trip, at six weeks old with him."
Now Canaan is three-year-old, and Erica is once again pregnant: 7 months along. During her first pregnancy, she blogged about climbing while pregnant. Now her Cragmama.com website is a top resource for families who rock climb. Erica said, "I think a lot of people will say, they’ll wait a few years until they get into an easier age or an easier life phase with their kids. And I think if they wait for that they’re going to wait forever." Her message to women is to quickly climb back into the things you love; and that your life is not over once you are a mother.

Since the very year I was born, South Jersey has been a part of me. Since both of my grandparents have lived in the area for many decades, my family has visited South Jersey yearly since 2014. Its warm and lively feel is very appealing to many families that are looking for an easy and fun getaway.
Every summer we pile into the car and drive four hours away to the Seaview Hotel and Club, a wonderful place which is located in Galloway. 20 minutes from the beach and board- walk （木板人行道）.The Seaview is enticing and quite inexpensive as well, which is perfect for any family. The rooms are neat, and the breakfasts are a real attraction, even to adults. I have always loved going down to their lovely outdoor swimming pool in the mornings and then ordering a lunch from The Coastal Grille, the hotel's main restaurant. The Seaview is really great, and somewhere else is even more exciting.
At the end of every day in South Jersey, my family always makes it an important goal to drive to the local beach and boardwalk. Ocean City is wonderful with great swimming, lots of pizza places, ice cream stands, and excellent rides and games.
After dinner, we always check out "Gillian's Pier," the impressive and exciting, yet small amusement area located on the boardwalk. It is lots of fun to ride on bumper car （碰碰车）and rollercoaster and to taste soft-serve ice creams and cotton candy. Next door, there is even a video arcade （游戏厅）, so overall South Jersey is your classic family summer vacation. 1 would definitely recommend visiting, even just for a weekend, someday.
1.What does the underlined word "enticing" in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Attractive. B.Crowded.
C.Remote. D.Developed.

B.To show the attraction of South Jersey.
C.To show it's convenience to go to South Jersey.
D.To show his preference for tourism.
