A
Disneyland calls itself the happiest
place in the world, but to keep visitors happy in
its five locations
across the globe,
each theme park is adjusted to cater to local
cultures and tastes. Outside of the two
original resort areas in the US,
Disneyland in California and Walt Disney World in
Florida, the Disneylands
in Paris,
Tokyo and Hong Kong offer subtly different
layouts(
布局
)to make their
millions of visitors each
year feel at
home.
Disneyland Paris
After
excitedly entering Disneyland Paris, which opened
in 1992, visitors can see an arcade
(
拱
廊
)that
features a small
replica(
复制品
) of the Statue
of Liberty
–
a gift from France to the US in 1886,
making it a fitting introduction to
Europe
’
s only instance of
this American theme park. The arcade also
offers essential cover from the cold
and rain that typically hit Pairs. As you venture
further into Disneyland
Paris, you will
see a lot of European visionaries.
Tokyo Disneyland
Opened in
1983, Tokyo Disneyland is the third most visited
of any theme park in the world after the
two Disney parks in the US. Like Walt
Disney World in Florida,
Cinderella
’
s Castle is
located at the center
of the park, said
to culture than Sleeping Beauty, whose castle is
featured in the center of Disneyland
California.
Hong Kong
Disneyland
The Hong Kong Disneyland, opened in
2005, incorporates feng shui and traditional
Chinese elements
into its design to
attract tourists from the Chinese mainland.
Feng shui balances the elements of
wood, fire, earth, metal and water to create
positive energy, and
these elements can
be seen throughout the theme park. Rocks represent
stability and prevent good luck
from
flowing away, so two gigantic
boulders(
圆石
)have been placed
at the park
’
s entrance to
stop energy
from flowing out of the
resort. Water stimulates fortune and wealth, and
the theme park is full of lakes,
ponds
and streams---not to mention the large fountain
featuring Disney characters placed at the main
entrance of the park.
21.
Which of the following is the third most visited
theme park in the world?
A. Walt Disney World
B.
Disneyland Paris
C. Hong Kong Disneyland
D.
Tokyo Disneyland
22. According to the
text, the Statue of Liberty replica in Disneyland
Paris is to __________.
A. serve as an introduction
to American Disneyland
B. reflect the historical
relationship between France and the US
C. show
Americans
’
artistic taste
and knowledge
D. ensure the
visitors
’
safety from all
over the world
23. The passage is
mainly about Disneyland theme
parks
’
_____________.
A.
popularity around the world
B. small
similarities between them
C. differences between each
other
D. adjustments to local cultures
B
The summer before my
junior year in high school, my family and I took a
trip to a completely new
world. Being
from a small town, I had never really been exposed
to a large city such as New York City.
As we stood waiting for a taxi outside
of the airport, it was immediately apparent to me
that New
York City was not the same as
New Caney, Texas. It seemed like everyone there
was in a hurry to get to
another place.
The loud and constant sound of cars was heard
throughout the entire trip. When we found
our hotel in Times Square, I noticed
that it wasn
’
t just the cars
that were in a hurry. Everyone in the
streets was walking quickly that
indicated a rush to be somewhere. Just standing
and watching the many
people rushing
their won separate ways was an interesting
observation.
In addition to the people
and transportation, the buildings were also an
incredible sight. Each street
was
crammed with buildings that were built side by
side with no room in between, and a number of
skyscrapers were present throughout the
city as well. The stores were also large compared
to the ones of
my little town. A small
shop in New Caney would be a huge store that took
up an entire building in New
York. This
would make it seem logical that the prices of
everything in New York were almost double those
back home.
For the first
time in my life, I was exposed to a little taste
of what the real world is like. The incredible
transportation, the huge skyscrapers,
and all of the thousands of people made me anxious
to grow up and
perhaps move to an
incredible city such as this one. Either way, my
first trip to New York was one of the
most incredible experiences of my life,
one I will always treasure.
24.
According to the author, New Caney is _______.
A.
a very large city
B. a rather small town
C. a busy and
noisy place
D. an
undeveloped village
25. The author was
impressed by all of the following EXCEPT_________.
A.
the people
B.
the transportation
C. the buildings
D. the custom
26. The
underlined phrase
“
was
creamed with
”
in Paragraph 3
can be replaced by
“
________
_
”
.
A. was full of
B. was ruined
by
C. was lacking in
D. was narrowed by
27. What
is the main idea of the passage?
A. Big cities
can provide young people with more chances
B.
A trip to New York City reduced my love of my
hometown
C. My visit to New York City was a life
changing experience
D.
One
’
s impression of a city
is usually formed by the first visit
C
Saving money when
you
’
re young is an important
lesson. All good lessons and habits begin early,
and saving is a skill that everyone
needs. Many people
–
adults
included
–
do not have a
good sense of
saving for the long run.
Besides being a great way to ensure you
have enough money for your old age, saving money
when you
are young can help your
future.
Making sure you
don
’
t spend too much and
continuing to save is a good way to accumulate
wealth.
I have put my earnings in a
bank, and with
investments(
投资
)and regular
interest rates, have almost
doubled my
savings. Your money will double after twelve years
at a modest rate of six percent interest.
Many teens I know spend all the money
they earn so it never has a chance to grow.
Teems should realize that now is a
prime time to begin saving. In high school many
parents pay for
almost everything, so
expenses can be small. If you have a job, you
should have fun with some of the
money.
But you should also save some so that it will grow
for you without your working, and begin
planning for your future.
After high school, college is expensive
and then
“
real
”
life begins, with expenses such as food
and rent.
If you can hold
onto a good part of the money you earn as a teen,
going to college and buying a house
will be much easier. The earlier you
begin saving, the more time the money has to grow.
Saving early means you will have to
work fewer years when you are older and allow you
to spend
time doing things you want.
You also want to be financially secure so you can
live the way you want
without worrying.
Also, you will be able to retire at a reasonable
age.
28. Which of the following is an
advantage of saving money when young?
A. It teachers
important life lessons
B. It helps
develop good habits
C. It results in a sense of
responsibility
D. It
contributes to one
’
s future
29. The author advises teens ________.
A.
to put all their earnings in a bank for interest
B. not to spend the money
until twelve years later
C. to pay for their
schooling by themselves
D. not to spend all their
earnings having fun
30. According to
the author, what will
“
real
”
life bring about?
A. Lower interest rate
B. Higher living cost
C. Difficulty
in finding jobs
D. Less time to save money
31. What is the best title of the
passage?
A. The Earlier, The Better
B. Money Is Everything
C. The
Importance of Saving
D. To Save for Your Old Age
D
He wrote that the
“
human mind is capable of
excitement without the application of unpleasant
and
violent stimulants(
兴奋剂，刺
激物
)
”
. And it
appears that simply reading these words by William
Wordsworth proves his point.
