AHow to save money to visit Shanghai Disneyland?The “happiest place on earth〞 is a top destination on many families' bucket lists. But taking a vacation to Disney World can be difficult to do on a budget. There are some considerations that you can make to reduce the cost of your Disney World vacation.1. Buy Souvenirs in AdvanceDisney has influenced practically every industry, which makes it easy to find Disney items anywhere, from Walmart, Target, and your local grocery store to department stores and Amazon. You can save a lot of money by purchasing items before your trip at these less-expensive places than at Disneyland.2. Make an Autograph BookAn autograph book is seen as a must-have by many Disneyland enthusiasts and is a memory you can take home with you. These books can cost anywhere from $7.95 to $19.95 at the Disney Store and up to $30 for the latest-and-greatest autograph book at Disneyland, such as the park's 60th anniversary edition. Other choices can get the job done for under $5. For example, you can buy a small photo album; cute pads or notebooks.3. Eat Breakfast Before You ArriveBreakfast is almost as pricey as lunch or dinner if you eat inside the Disneyland parks. If you have a hotel with a free breakfast, take advantage of it. If you want to eat out, eat at a local restaurant that is inexpensive or has a kids' menu, such as McDonald's which is close to the park.4. Take Advantage of Discounts Offered to Special GroupsDisney offers a wide variety of discounts, including for military service members, college students, teachers, and youth groups. If you think you might qualify fora special discount or group rate, call the Disneyland Resort to book tickets.1. It may take you more money to buy souvenirs at_____.A. DisneylandB. Department storesC. WalmartD. Amazon2. How much do you pay for the park's 60th anniversary edition?A. $7.95B. $19.95C. $5D. $303. What is one piece of the author’s advice on breakfast?A. You had better eat at Disneyland.B. You can eat at a local restaurant.C. You should prepare it well at home .D. You can ask the hotel to supply it for free.BThe Arctic is not a safe place to be by any stretch of the imagination. Essentially a vast, floating block of ice, with only a small area of land, the landscape can be almost totally different from year to year. Even the most experienced explorers are lucky to return with all their fingers and toes, not to mention their lives.Into this extreme environment stepped Nabil Al Busaidi. In fact, he didn’t juststep—he stepped and skied his way across 650km, pulling 50kg of equipment. He also carried the flag of the Sultanate of Oman, which he held in the air at the North Pole, becoming the first Arab to achieve this impressive feat (壮举).On the way to the North Pole, Nabil was driven by the reward of success and the pain at the thought of failure. “T hrough the 20-whatever days , every minute there was a different thing that kept me going, either the fear of failure, the fear of dying or the reward of finishing and getting somewhere warm. 〞The ever-present cold, averaging around -40℃ but dropping as l ow as a recorded -81℃, is his overriding (首要的) memory of the experience. As an Omani, Nabil had an additional 20℃ drop in temperature to get used to, compared to his British teammates. Apart from the extreme cold, polar bears were a common feature of the j ourney, and Nabil and the team had their fair share of bear encounters. “Polar bears are dangerous, but they are not that threatening because they don’t intend to harm humans. They’re usually either curious or just don’t care. We saw five bears, and none were aggressive,〞 said Nabil.One final problem Nabil faced was the stress put on team relations by the severity of the conditions, especially during the first three stages of the journey. However, during the fourth and final leg, the team worked so well together that they travelled 130km in only two and a half days.4. What does Paragraph 1 show?A. Nabil’s hard-won success.B. The value of Arctic exploration.C. Nabil’s good luck.D. The change of the Arctic.5. Which is the problem Nabil faced on his journey?A. Gradually rising sea level.B. Frequent polar bear attacks.C. Constantly changing climate.D. The heavy psychological burden.6. What can we know about Nabil?A. He had gone on an Arctic journey before.B. He explored the Arctic with pretty light packs.C. He finished the exploration of the Arctic all alone.D. He suffered more from extreme cold than his teammates.7. What is the passage mainly about?A. Life in the Arctic.B. Climate of the Arctic.C. The first Arab to step into the Arctic.D. Achievements scientists made in the Arctic.CThe digital revolution is both launching us into a no-handwriting future, and also sending us backwards in time to when the spoken words ruled. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing.“I don’t thin k kids should be assessed on their ability to master cursive(草书). It’s not something that they are going to use much in their lives as they grow older. It’s not something most of us adults use in our lives today. 〞 Anne Trubek, an author, suggests that schools offer handwriting or cursive as an elective or art class in the future.“Focus on how to teach kids to express their ideas, how to organize their thoughts, how to make arguments〞she says. “The forming of the letters are less important. And there are certainly many ways to individualize what you write beyond the way you’ve circled the ‘I’ or crossed your ‘T’.〞“This myth that handwriting is just a motor skill is just plain wrong,〞Virginia Berninger said. “We use motor parts of our brain, motor plann ing, motor control, but what’s very critical is a region of our brain where the visual and language come together and actually become letters and written words.〞“A lot of people are very stubborn about the importance of handwriting, but at the same time will admit they never write themselves,〞 Trubek says.Trubek suggests, however, that handwriting keeps some value –for now. “ For us today, in the 21st century America, handwriting represents something individualand unique about a person. It doesn’t alw ays mean that in previous times in history, and it won’t always mean that in the future, but right now for us we relate our sense of self to our handwriting.〞8. How does Trubek feel about the handwriting?A. It’s useless.B. It’s only an art.C. I t’s less important.D. It’s meaningful.9. Virginia Berninger’s attitude to the use of handwriting is ______.A. indifferentB. doubtfulC. favorableD. disapproving10. What do we know from the last paragraph?A. Handwriting still keeps some value today.B. Handwriting represents previous times in history.C. Handwriting reflects the past and the future.D. The computer makes handwriting out of date.11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To show people’s worry abo ut future.B. To discuss the importance of handwriting.C. To introduce something about handwriting.D. To encourage people to practice handwriting.DNothing is more tiresome than being stuck in a boring class. Every second takes ages to tick by. A recent survey of American kids revealed that 91 percent experience boredom. In fact, adolescence is considered a peak period for the problem. One study showed that roughly one in three teenagers was bored at school.Peter Stromberg, professor at the U niversity of Tulsa says, “Our brains adapt really quickly to certain levels of stimulation(刺激). We get used to the media providing levels of highly emotional stimulation, and when we’re not getting them we feel bored. As our society develops various ways of keeping us entertained, we may discover that rather than getting rid of boredom, we’re multiplying it.〞Luckily, new research is implying a way that we can battle the trend.Professor John D. Eastwood of the University of York developed a new theory of b oredom, which links it to the brain’s attention system—the part of the brain that we use to focus. Anything the attention system in your brain locks onto will be automatically sucked up into your conscious awareness—it might be a bird outside the window, the pleasant smell of lunch, or even someone sleeping in the back of the class.The problem is that your attention system doesn’t like being told what to do. It wants to focus on stuff that you find fun and interesting. For the parts of school that you enjo y, this isn’t a problem. But for those classes that don’t interest you, or present too much or too little challenge, the story is very different. In those situations, you’re going to have to spend a lot of effort constantly redirecting your attention system to focus on things it would rather ignore. And the effort is going to wear you out. Eastwood describes it as “wanting, but being unable, to be involved in a satisfying activity.〞It’s like a block in the system. And it’s the awareness of that block combi ned with a sense that the environment is to blame that leads to feelings of boredom.When we’re bored we blame the world around us, but Eastwood’s theory challenges this assumption: Boredom doesn’t exist out there; it exists inside your brain. What that means is—hard as it may be to hear—boring lessons aren’t only the fault of your teacher or the subject, they’re your fault too.12. According to Peter Stromberg, ________.A. teenagers are victims of boredomB. our brains demand much stimulationC. we’ve grown dependent on media for funD. the way we have fun makes us become bored13. According to Paragraph 4, the attention system ________.A. doesn’t like challengesB. enjoys interesting thingsC. does what you want it to doD. can make our efforts fruitless14. What might the author suggest about a boring class?A. Focusing more attention on it.B. Changing the way we look at it.C. Employing various teaching methods.D. Challenging the disturbing environment.15. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Escape Your BoredomB. Battle Your AttentionC. Fun or Boredom?D. Who Is to Blame?第二节 (共5小题;每一小题2分,总分为10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最优选项。

ATourism wasn’t as important as it is today. In the past, only people with a good deal of money could travel on holidays to other countries. More people travel today than in the past because there is a growing middle class in many parts of the world; that is to say, people now have more money for travel. Special plane fares for tourists make tra vel less expensive and more attractive than ever before. One person doesn’t travel for the same reason as another. But most people enjoy seeing countries that are different from their own. They also like to meet new people and to taste new food. Touris m brings many changes in a country and in people’s lives. People build new hotels and restaurants and train native men and women as guides to show visitors interesting places. There’re new nightclubs and other amusements. International tourism is clearly a big business.1. In the old days _________ could travel to other countries.A. boys and girls, men or women, young or oldB. either kings or queensC. both the poor and the richD. nobody but those who had money2.

ABill Javis took over our village news—agency at a time of life when most of us only want to relax. He just thought he would like something but not too much to do, and the news—agency was ready—made。
The business produced little enough for him,but Bill was a man who only wanted the simplicity and order and regularity of the job。
He had been a long—serving sailor, and all his life had done everything by the clock.Every day he opened his shop at six a.m. to catch the early trade; the papers arrived on his door—step before that。
Many of Bill’s customers were city workers, and the shop was convenient for the station。
Business was tailing off by 10 o'clock,so at eleven sharp Bill closed for lunch。

AI was desperately nervous about becoming car-free. But eight months ago our car was hit bya passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: we’ll buy another. But the insurance payout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car-I worked out that, with the loan, we’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as £600 a month.And that’s when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity.Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to”own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other citizens do too—in a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking something much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer becauseI dared to ask the question.1. The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ______.A. most families chose to go car-freeB. he was hurt in a terrible car accidentC. the cost of a new car was too muchD. the traffic jam was unbearable for him2. What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan?A. Supportive.B. Disapproving.C. Optimistic.D. Unconcerned.3. What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends’ opinion?A. Argue against it.B. Take their advice.C. Think it over.D. Leave it alone.4. What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?A. Life cannot go without a car.B. Life without a car is a little bit hard.C. His life gets improved without a car.D. A car-free life does not suit everyone.BStreet art can be found on buildings, sidewalks, street signs and even trash cans from Tokyo to Paris to New York City. This special kind of art can take the form of paintings, sculptures, cloth or even stickers. It has become part of a global visual culture. Now, even art museums and galleries are collecting the works of street artists.It is not easy to provide an exact history of the street art movement. This kind of art has developed in many kinds of ways in places all over the world. Also, because it is illegal to paint on public and private property without permission, street artists usually work secretly. This secretive nature of street art and its countless forms make it hard to define exactly. And people have different opinions about the movement. Some think street art is a crime and destroys property. But others see this art as a rich form of non-traditional cultural expression.Many experts say the movement began in New York City in the 1960s. Young adults would use paint in special cans to spray their “tag” on walls and train cars around the city. This tag was a name they created to identify themselves and their artwork. This colorful style of writing is also called graffiti (涂鸦). It is visually exciting and energetic. Some graffiti paintings were signs marking the territories of city gangs or illegal crime groups.Graffiti also became a separate movement expressing the street culture of young people living in big cities. Graffiti art represented social and political rebellion (叛逆). This was art that rejected the accepted rules of culture and power. These artists could travel around areas of the city making creative paintings for everyone to see. Sometimes this street art created a conflict between artists and city officials. Graffiti artists created their images and city officials quickly painted over them.During the 1980s, two New York painters—Keith Haring and Jean Michel began showing their work in art galleries and museums. This is when street art started to become part of the more general popular culture.5. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. Street art has become popular and is accepted as a kind of culture.B. Street art is very special compared with other fo rms of popular art.C. Many people are beginning to learn street art.D. Street art is better developed in big cities than in rural areas.6. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.“TAG” was a word created by people to distinguish street artists and the other artists.B. There are three reasons explaining why it is hard to define the history of street art.C. The movement of street art began in the 1980s in New York City.D. All the people don’t think that the street art is a rich form of cultural expression.7. The city officials used to get rid of graffiti probably because ________.A. they caused arguments between peopleB. they were ugly in someone’s eyesC. they were not painted under proper guidanceD. they didn’t express traditional culture8.Which is the best title of the passage?A. The Way to Become a Street ArtistB. What Does Graffiti Art Stand For?C. The History of Street Art MovementD. The Work of Street ArtistsCIt is amazing to note that the Internet is still such a new device,and yet it is one of the fastest and most powerful media tools. But think about it for a moment. On the Internet, a big online company can be run by only two guys in their garage. So it is only reasonable then, that people shopping online would be a little leery of the security levels.Internet giants such as Microsoft knew consumer confidence was the key to getting virtual shopping off the ground, and they work hard to make people feel safe to shop online.Credit card companies, too, quickly saw the potential for online shopping, and have installed things like online shopping insurance for people. If you ever have a problem with your online credit purchases, many credit card companies will happily refund your money and then set their claws on the company that wronged you. Now that’s buying power!There are other bonuses for online shoppers, of course. No line-ups, for one. No annoying mall shopping carts with broken wheels and kids crying because their parents won’t get them what they want.When shopping online, consumers can sit down, have a coffee, and wear their slippers, not having to worry about their hair or parking, and just clicking through sale after sale. Comparison shopping couldn’t be any easier. And thanks to courier companies(快递公司)getting in on the act, you never need to wait longer than a day or two to get those all important purchases delivered right to your door.No wonder so many companies are shaking their heads at traditional advertising and instead looking to the “virtual” world to attract online shoppers.9.The underlined word leery means _________.A. distrustfulB. confidentC. hopefulD. disappointed10. Consumer confidence in online shopping mainly relies on _________.A. shopping freedomB. shopping convenienceC. Internet accessD. Shopping security11.Which groups of words would the writer use to describe current online shopping?A. Adventurous, enjoyable, fast, unrealB. Unsafe, cheap, slow, convenientC. Safe, convenient, fast, comfortableD. Reliable, popular, convenient, slow12.The following companies are thought to have made contributions to the popularity of onlineshopping EXCEPT ________.A. Internet companiesB. advertising companiesC. courier companiesD. credit card companiesDDear Ms. Wang,I am writing to inform you of some arrangements about my composition course and Latin course next year.I’ve decided to re-establish the 5-paragraph essay as the goal for the composition course.I interviewed some of my former students and they all agreed that being able to write critically and continuously was important to them.So next academic year, Term 1 will be like always: sentences to paragraphing. And Term 2 will work toward the 5-paragraph essay. The final 3 weeks of Term 2 will be reserved to introduce writing for TOEFL and CEE. By that time, if the students have done their job correctly, then they should be able to write quite well.As for the Latin course, I will post notices around campus next week so that the students will understand what’s on offer before I actually introduce the course. A number of students alreadyemailed me about the course.I am sure you don’t understand what a big deal our opening this program at our school is. People around the world are interested in what we plan to do. There are many rewards available to the students who succeed in the course. Please share what I have said with the administration.I want them to understand the importance of this course. The reason I have contacted these colleagues (actually Oxford contacted me) is that I have confidence in our students and in myself.I know that when those professors meet our students and hear them speaking and reading Latin, they are going to be amazed. It will open all sorts of doors for students that they never even thought of knocking on.Well, that’s it for now. I’ll see you soon.Yours,Edward Johnson13. According to the letter, what will Edward teach about writing in Term 1?A. Critical thinking.B. 5-paragraph essay.C. Sentences to paragraphing.D. Writing for TOEFL and CEE.14. We can learn from the letter that Edward’s Latin course______.A. has aroused students’ interestB. enjoys a nationwide reputationC. has won a number of awardsD. benefits anyone who takes it15. Why does Edward write this letter?A. To seek assistance from the administration.B. To inform the school of his course plans.C. To show his achievements in Latin.D. To apply for the teaching position.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

It was hard luck on anybody who wanted a paper or magazine in the afternoon, for most likely Bill would be down on the river bank, fishing, and his nearest competitor was five kilometers away. Sometime in the afternoon, the evening paper landed on the doormat, and at 4 o’clock Bill reopened. The evening rush lasted till seven, and it was worthwhile.He lived in a flat above the shop, alone. Except in the very bad weather, you always knew where to find him in the afternoon, as I have said. Once, on a sunny afternoon, I walked home along the river bank from a shopping trip to the village. By my watch it was three minutes past four, so I was astonished to see Bill sitting there on his little chair with a line in the water. He had had no luck, I could see, but he was making no effort to move.“What’s wrong, Bill?” I called out from the path.For answer, he put a hand in his jacket and took out a big, golden object. For a moment I had no idea what it could be, and then it suddenly went off with a noise like a fire engine. Stopping the bell, Bill held the thing up and called back, “Ten to four, you see, and this is dead right.”I had never known anyone carrying a brass alarm clock round with him before.1.

BGenetically modified (转基因 ) foods have become a focus point of agriculture throughout the news today. This has an effect on many different aspects of the agriculture world. From the seed dealer, to the farmer that buys the seed, to the workers that the farmer sells to; all are affected by the new technologies that are involved in this part of production agriculture.Genetically modified foods have come under heavy fire lately. There are some countries that are against buying these types of foods. They are tested for safety by the best scientific experts in Europe, the US and the rest of the world. They are not for sale until they have gone through this complete safety process. Since they are a new product, and any slight problem with them could affect a whole country,these tests are very necessary.These safety tests are carried out because of the new rules that were made with the Novel Foods Regulation. Begun in May of 1997, the Novel Foods Regulation set up an EU-wide pre-market system for all novel foods. A novel food is described as one that has not been eaten by EU consumers widely in the past. By setting up this program the EU hopes to keep its consumers safe from any possible side effects of any new food products.There are a variety of ways in which genetic modification has helped food producers. They can improve the nutritional (营养的) value or the storage conditions of the food. Today there are only two genetically modified foods that have been allowed for use, these are GM soybean and GM maize.Despite any safety checks, many people are still cautious about eating genetically modified foods. By providing these people with the necessary information, we can allow them to make decisions about these foods.5. What do we know about the novel food?A. It’s very popular in EU.B. It’s bad for people’s health.C. It’s a new kind of food.D. Its story has been published.6. Genetically foods are allowed to be sold if they are .A. tested for safetyB. of high qualityC. more nutritionalD. grown in Europe7. From paragraph 2, we can learn that genetically modified foods .A. do no harm to peopleB. have caused some problemsC. are well received after being testedD. are criticized and attacked by many people8. What’s the writer’s attitude towards genetically modified foods?A. We should warn people that they are too dangerous to be eaten.B. We should give people information about them so that they can decide whetherto buy themC. We should encourage people to eat them because they are more nutritional.D. We should tell people that they are trying to fool the farmers.【答案】5.C6.A7.D8.B【名师点睛】细节理解题解题思路与应试技巧细节题是针对文中某个细节、某句话或某部分具体内容设置问题,正确答案的根据一定可以在原文中找到,即原文的改写往往成为正确选项。
