AShanghai Disneyland cost $5.5 billion to build and it is said to be the cheapest out of all the Disneyland resorts. Take the following advice to make a wonderful trip.1. Buy Souvenirs in AdvanceDisney has covered practically every industry, which makes it easy to find Disney items anywhere, from Walmart, Target, and your local grocery stores to department stores and Amazon. You can save a lot of money by purchasing items before your trip at these less-expensive retailers(零售商) than at Disneyland.2. Make an Autograph Book (签名簿)An 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 options can get the job done for under $5. For example, you can buy a small, generic photo album; cute memo pads or notebooks.3. Bring Your Own Food and DrinksWhile Disney’s official policy says it does not allow outside food or drinks, Disneyland does allow most food items. Take snacks for throughout the day or pack a lunch to enjoy in the picnic area just outside the main entrance of the park.4. Arrange Your Trip Around the Low Season TimesLots of things, from airfare to souvenirs, can get more expensive during Disneyland’s busier time of the year. To make the most of your money, plan your trip during the park’s low seaso n. The months of September through March—excluding December—are not as crowded at the parks, and even hotels can be less expensive during these months.21. Where may the souvenirs of Disneyland cost you most?A. On Amazon.B. In Walmart.C. At Disneyland.D. In grocery stores.22. Why do many people make an autograph book?A. It’s a must-have.B. It’s a memory.C. It’s up-to-date.D. It’s very cheap.23. According to the writer, when is the best time to visit Disneyland?A. During the off-season.B. From September to March.C. When airfare is cheaper.D. During Disneyland’s busier time.BThere are works of fiction that are published, enjoyed, but after a few years, more or less disappear. Then there are novels tha t don’t just have literary success, but major cultural impact. One such book is One Hundred Years of Solitude, whose 50th anniversary is this year. It was written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez (1927-2014).It is an epic(史诗) tale of the nation of Colombia, from the country’s founding to Marquez’s own time. The novel is a major example of a revolution in South American writing that was to have a far-reaching influence on global literature. The method of writing that Marquez and others are credited with inventing, “magic realism”，switched normal storytelling into a style where anything could happen.Marquez treats Colombian history skeptically. He focuses on political corruption(腐败), civil war and the negative influence of American big business. And while this could be a description of a very conventional novel, One Hundred Years of Solitude is anything but conventional.It took a memory of his grandmother to show him the right way to write the novel. He recalled that when she told him stories in his childhood, she would put on a “brick face”. Marquez remembered this trick and began to write the novel differently. He wrote, “If you tellsomething to someone with an absolutely serious expression on your face, you have a chance of them believing what you say.” It seems that mastering this trick of his grandmother’s helped Marquez create one of the greatest literary works of the 20th century.24. What do we know about One Hundred Years of Solitude from Paragraph 1?A. It was written in 1927.B. It came out as a failure.C. It holds an important status.D. It faded away after publishing.25. Why did the novel have a deep effect on global literature?A. It created the magic realism.B. It is an epic tale of Colombia.C. It tells a South American revolution.D. It used a normal storytelling method.26. How does the author think of Marquez’s writing style?A. SkepticalB. Realistic.C. Conventional.D. Untraditional.27. What does the underlined phrase “brick face” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Serious look.B. Funny expression.C. Beautiful dress.D. Strong face mask.CHandEnergy is an apple-sized device (设备) that charges your phone anytime, anywhere. But what really makes this thing special is the fact that it uses your own personal energy to do it.In a time where power-banks (充电宝) and solar-power devices have become mainstream, a device that lets you charge doesn’t sound very special. But while power-banks have to be charged the old fashioned way, and solar-power devices need the sun to store energy, HandEnergy just needs a hand. To get this little guy to produce energy, which it then stores in built-in batteries, all you have to do is hold it in your hand and rotate (旋转) your wrists.To use HandEnergy, users start by winding a starter ring. This sends a signal to activate the rotor (旋转器), at which point they can start rotating their wrists to keep the rotor spinning. It might sound hard to believe, but the rotor inside HandEnergy spins at an average speed of 5,000rotations per minute, changing mechanical power into an electric current, and charging the built-in batteries. To charge a device, all you have to do is connect it to HandEnergy using a USB cable.HandEnergy was successfully crowdfunded on Kickstarter, raising over $71,000 m one month, and will be available for the masses in May 2018，at a price of $99. One thing is for sure—it beats paying thousands of dollars on a solar-powered charging device.28. What is HandEnergy used for?A. Controling an Apple phone.B. Providing power.C. Burning personal energy.D. Amusing a child.29. How does HandEnergy produce energy?A. By exposing it to the sun.B. By keeping its rotor spinning.C. By connecting the power source.D. By opening and closing your hand.30. Which of the following is the right order?① Users wind a starter ring. ② The battery is charged.③ The rotor spins. ④ Users rotate their wrists.A. ①②③④B. ③①②④C. ①④③②D.③④①②31. What can be inferred about HandEnergy from the last paragraph?A. It is sort of expensive.B. It has come into market.C. It is popular with the public.D. It may have a bright future.DMeditation is a way to gain a better understanding of what is going on inside your head and your body, and it can help you have a better life.There are almost endless different kinds of meditation but they all have one thing in common, the seated gesture. Sitting with your back straight and your legs crossed allows the body to become motionless for long enough to get in touch with the feelings you are havinginside, and the effect those feelings are having on your state of mind.All of the different forms of meditation have one purpose, to allow you to separate your “self” from what’s going on in your head! Why does this matter? Because most of what is going on in o ur heads isn’t very nice!You see our brains have developed over millions of years, to help us survive. Back in the days of lions and tigers trying to eat us, we had to be very sensitive to dangers around us. Now, millions of years later, our minds are still programmed to seek out danger, so we tend to look at everything from a negative angle.Well, it doesn’t need to be that way! Because we are not cave people anymore! The newest parts of our brain that have developed are where our feelings of love and happiness and creativity function lie.Meditation helps us cool down the fear response that comes naturally to us, and helps us access the higher function areas of our brain.This allows us to live happier, healthier and more productive lives. By having access to this new awesome area of the brain we can do better at school, perform better in sports, have better relationships with our parents and friends, and spot dangerous thoughts and behaviors before they lead us into trouble!32. What is the common thing in different kinds of meditation?A. Thinking deep in your mind.B. Sitting in the same style.C. Affecting your feelings inside.D. Helping to lead an active life.33. What is the purpose of practicing meditation?A. To tell us what happens in your head.B. To get in touch with the outside world.C. To separate yourself from what you think.D. To get rid of the strange thoughts in your brain.34. What causes us to look at things negatively?A. Many lions and tigers arc around us.B. We have bad relationships in society.C. Sensation to dangers continues until now.D. We lack the higher function areas of our brain.35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. What is meditation?B. Meditation made simple.C. Meditation gestures.D. Forms of meditation.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。

A Films provide more than just entertainment．For many peo ple, watching English films is a way to develop language skills ．While watching a film，you are immersed（沉浸在）in the language and can pick up new expressions that you mi ght not find in a textbook．Some difficulties can arise when w atching English films-for example，unfamiliar colloquial language or strong regional accents．Wit h this in mind，here are my tips to help you make progress in English learnin g while enjoying the films．Choose a film genre类型) that you enjoy.If you like action films，watch an action film-for example Indiana Jones．If you prefer comedies，watch a comedy-anything with Hugh Grant in always provides a laugh！It's simple enough，but if you choose something you enjoy watching in your native language，you're more likely to enjoy it in English．Choose something that you are familiar with.It's best to start off with something simple because in this way you have a higher chance of understanding the film．Disney films such as The Lion King，or the more recently released Tangled，are classic examples．Other cartoons such as Up and The L ego Movie are also worth a watch．Ask friends for advicePerhaps you have friends who have already seen English film ?If so ,they may be able to recommend oneIf you need to，use the English subtitlesSubtitles are very helpful for beginners．using subtitles in y our own language is the easiest choice，but for more advanced learners why not consider using Englis h subtitles？This way，you can match the written subtitles to the words spoken on .s creen．It helps you to develop your language further.1. What can we know from the first paragraph ?A . Some expressions from textbooks can be found in Englis h films.B .Unfamiliar spoken language can be neglected when we w atch English films .C. Foreign language films can help us improve our language skills.D Strong regional accents cannot influence the understanding of English films.2.

What does the underlined word “subtitles“means in the text ?A. TranslatorsB. Chinese charactersC. English dictionariesD. Words on the screenBWill it matter if you don’t take your breakfast? Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages,from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were give n all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person w orks with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and mil k before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention to class.Opposite to what many people believe, if you don’t eat breakf ast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end u p gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.5. During the test, those who were tested were given _______ _.A. no breakfast at allB. very rich breakfastC. little food for breakfastD. different breakfast or none6. The results of the test show that ________.A. breakfast has great effect on work and studiesB. breakfast has little to do with a person s workC. a person will work better if he has a simple breakfastD. those working with brains should have much for breakfast7.

According to the passage, if a student does not eat breakfa st, ________.A. he will fall illB. he will fail to listen to his teacherC. he will not make progress in his studyD. his mind will work more slowlyCHe is regarded as having one of the brightest minds on the planet. But outstanding astrophysicist(天体物理学家) Stephen Hawking has admitted that he did not learn to rea d until he was eight years old.In a public lecture at the Royal Albert Hall, Professor Hawking also admitted that he was not active in studying while at Ox ford University, where he studied physics, and that only the di agnosis that he might die young from motor neurone(神经元) disease made him concentrate on his work.Professor Hawking said：“My sister Philippa could read by the age of 4 but then she wa s definitely brighter than me.” He said that he was unexceptio nal at school and was never further than halfway up his class.“My classwork was very untidy, and my handwriting was the despair of my teachers，” he said.“But my classmates gave me the nickname Einstein, so presumably they saw signs of s omething better.”But he said that it was when doctors told him that he probably only had a few years to live at the age of 21 that galvanized h im into focusing on his work and a period of productivity that r esulted in some of his early breakthroughs. He said，“When you are faced with the possibility of an early death, itmakes you realize that life is worth living and there are lots of things you want to do.”9. What made Stephen Hawking devote himself to his work?A. Patience.B. Knowledge.C. Disease. D. Laziness.10.

Now suddenly he has changed his bad behavior,” said a middle-aged man.“Yes, he should be praised and we must write a letter to the c ompany,” said a second passenger. “That's right,” another lad y said, “I wish a newspaper reporter were here so that more p eople could learn from this conductor.”Just then a gentleman who looked like a teacher turned to the conductor and said, “Excuse me, but can I know your name, please?

Why should they learn Chinese whe n most people in the world speak English?Mark(US): I studied French for 2 years in high school and German for 4 years in college. I studied Mandarin informally for a bout 4 months before moving to China. Now I speak Mandarin every day as my wife doesn’t speak English. But it is far from being fluent. Learning additi onal languages is a great thing, which offers a different persp ective on the world around us. Nowadays, it’s almost necessa ry to be able to speak more than just your native tongue. George (UK): No, unless the y’re taught from a very early stag e of childhood. Mandarin is so difficult. If China really is going to dominate the world, it’ll have to do so by speaking the worl d’s dominant language---English.Sam (UK): I don’t think Chinese will become as widely spoken throughout the world as English. It is too difficult to learn as a second language. To learn Chinese you completely have to d evote yourself to learning how to write and read it. If you have to learn it besides other subjects you can’t be good at it. But Chinese will become more popular, and that is a good thing. 1．What is probably Mark’s main motivation（动机）for learning Chinese?A. Further education.B. Effective commu nicationC. His frequent travelD. The official policy2．What does Sam think of learning Chinese?A. It’s necessary.B. It’s of little use.C. It takes too much time.D. It’s not popular .3．What seems to be the major problem when foreigners try t o learn Chinese?A. Its difficulty as a languageB. Misunderstanding about ChinaC. The great popularity of EnglishD. A lack of learni ng resources.BSure, human dads can play games with their kids and help w ith homework, but can they give birth? Daddy sea horses can!

I like that now I can throw a football further than when I didn’t have hands,” he said.The nation’s youngest hand-transplant patient has been working hard to learn how to use his new hands. He lost his hands and his feet 7 years ago aft er suffering from a serious infection. In August, the boy showe d off his new abilities by throwing out the first ball at a basebal l game. Dr. Scott Levin, team leader of Zion’s operation, said Zion was faced with the operation much braver than many ad ults. “I’ve never seen Zion cry,” Levin said. “He’s just an amaz ing boy. He has such courage and determination and gives us all inspiration.”Zion said his courage came from the two most amazing pe ople: his mom and his grandma. His mother, Pattie Ray, said, “It’s been a long journey but now I feel like I am living in my dr eam. It’s his dream, and it’s mine, too. I’m just living through h im, and I’m just here to support him in any way and help him d o whatever he wants to do.”However，Zion told reporters his mom wouldn’t let him try out for football . His mom said it’s too dangerous. She also pointed out that h e might be playing against little kids, not professionals, and sh e told him they would discuss it later. Zion tried to counter her argument. “My next goal: convince Mom to let me play footbal l,” he said.7. What is Zion’s attitude towards his transplanted hands?A. He likes them a lotB.

What do you need to do to achieve y our dream job? Perhaps you think that studying well and then going on to work hard will get you successful career you want. We are constantly taught that our hard work will eventually p ay off.But a government survey has shown that hard work is not t he only thing that will help you to move up the ladder. Two thir ds of people believe that who you know matters more than wh at you know when it comes to social activity. So are the conne ctions that you have more important than your education?76% of the people in the survey believed that family background is important in influencing your chances of success. The y believe that if you are privileged from birth, you are more lik ely to have a successful career, especially if your family is we althy.Even if you don’t have a privileged background, the people you know can still make a difference to your career. Networki ng is a skill which is encouraged by many career advisers. So me companies run networking workshops to try and encourag e staff to meet other people, to communicate and build relatio nships. It’s a valuable skill.But the survey also showed something quite interesting. Alt hough most people believed that networks are more important than education, many people put their own career success d own to talent, rather than background. 41% of the people said that their parents’ income had influenced their life, but at the same time, another 41% believed that they had achieved their own success.So which is more important, what you know or who you kno w? It seems that by working hard and making lots of connecti ons, the answer may be that both are very important.11. Which of the following is closet in meaning to the underlin ed part?A.
