All Disney World theme parks are open 365 days a year, although opening and closing times for each park are different from day to day. If you are traveling without kids, try to visit it on a school day to avoid the largest crowds. If you need to visit it during a school vacation, try at least to avoid the week between Christmas and New Years Day and the Fourth of July. If you are not staying at a Disney World hotel, avoid visiting the Magic Kingdom on its Extra Magic Hours days. The hotel guests get into the park early on those days, increasing the waiting time for visitors who arrive at the normal opening time.      Buy your Walt Disney World tickets online at Disney Worlds website. There will be some advice on picking the right ticket. See the guide to Disney World tickets. You will also need to call in advance to make lunch or dinner reservations (预订). Disney accepts reservations, through 1-407-WDW-DINE, up to 180 days in advance. Time does pass quickly, so you should call six months before your trip to get a lunch reservation in the castle. We suggest you should have your lunch at Cinderellas Royal Table for your tour. If you cant get the reservation, ask for the Liberty Tree Tavern instead.     Keep in mind that to reach the Magic Kingdom, you must park at Disney Worlds Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC) parking lot, take a tram (有轨电车), and then take a boat across the Seven Seas Lagoon to the Magic Kingdom. 21. We learn from the passage that _.     A. a single adult had better visit the Magic Kingdom on a school dayB. children are not allowed to visit Disney World on New Years DayC. Disney World theme parks have the same opening and closing timesD. the Magic Kingdom was the earliest theme park in the world22. If you want to have dinner in the Walt Disney World, you can _.A. see the guide to Disney World tickets to reserve a tableB. use 1-407-WDW-DINE to reserve about 3 months in advance C. make a call to reserve a table for dinner in advance D. go to Cinderellas Royal Table or the Liberty Tree Tavern at any time you like23. Which of the following is TRUE according to passage?     A. Disney World theme parks will be closed on Christmas Day.B. The only way to get Walt Disney World tickets is to buy them online.C. The Magic Kingdom has Extra Magic Hours every day.D. Visitors have to reach the Magic Kingdom by tram and then boat. BWhen a dirty and untidy orange cat showed up in the prison yard，I was one of the first to go out there and pet itI hadnt touched a cat or a dog in over 20 yearsI spent at least 20 minutes，knelt down behind the kitchen as the cat rolled around，relaxedWhat he was expressing outwardly, I was feeling inwardlyIt was an amazing bit of grace to feel him under my hand and note that I was reaching a life or another creature with something as simple as my care Over the next few days，there were other prisoners responding to the catEvery yard period，a group of prisoners gathered thereThey stood around talking and taking turns petting the catThese were guys you wouldnt usually find talking to each otherSeveral times I saw an officer in the group，not chasing people away, but just watching and seeming to enjoy along with the prisonersBowls of milk and water appeared along with bread, wisely placed under the edge of the dustbin to keep the birds from getting it The cat was obviously homeless and in pretty bad shapePeople said that the cat came to the right placeHe's getting treated like a kingThis was truebut as I watched I was also thinking about what the cat was doing for usThere was a lot of talk about what's wrong with prisons in AmericaWe need more programsWe need more psychologists or treatment of various kindsSome may even talk about making prisons more kindBut I think what we really need is a chance to practise our own kindnessNot receive it，but give itAfter more than two decades here，I know kindness is not a value that's encouragedIt's often seen as a weakness Instead，the culture encourages keeping your head down，minding your own business，and never letting yourself be weak The cat did my heart good to see the effect he had on me and the men hereBy simply saying，”I need some help here”，he did something important for usHe needed usAnd we needed to be neededI believe we all do24Which of the following statements is true?

AAnimals Need Care BPrison Culture is Important CCaring Makes Us Human DEveryone Needs to be Cared for27In Paragraph 2，the author mentioned that “Several times I saw an officer in the group，not chasing people away, but just watching and seeming to enjoy along with the prisoners” to_ Ashow us the officer and prisoners get along well with each other Bshow us the officer and prisoners all like the catCshow us the American prison culture does need improvement Dshow us the American prison culture is great C The origins of the apple tree are in Asia. We know that 8,500 years ago apples were being grown and eaten in ancient Jericho, a city near the Jordan River. In some parts of the ancient world apples could only be afforded by royalty (王室成员) and their courts, and were a popular dessert as long ago as 4,500 years. Now the apple is the most popular fruit in the world.     You probably know that theres a tradition for students to bring shiny apples to their favorite teachers. But why?     No one knows for sure. The idea of "an apple for the teacher" has been with us since the late 1800s. Perhaps the custom grew out of the fact that apples are ripe (成熟的) in September, when the school year usually begins. In earlier times, students, particularly those in rural areas, could pick apples from trees on their way to school. They were easy gifts for children to give.     However, the lovely practice took on a dark note if the other children thought the gift-giver was trying to buy the teacher into giving him or her better grades. "Apple polisher" came to mean someone who tries to please a superior (上级) in return for special treatment. It was a popular college slang (俚语) term in the 1920s, but the term isnt used much any more.     Its true that apples can be very attractive. The apple is Americas favorite fruit, as shown in the phrase, "as American as Mom and apple pie".     After all, who ever says, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away" or "Youre the banana of my eye"? And who brings a banana to his or her teacher? Nobody.28. What do we learn about the apple from the passage?     A. It has been popular worldwide since 8,500 years ago. B. It has been a popular dessert for about 4,500 years.C. The origins of the apple tree are in America.D. Everyone could enjoy this fruit in the ancient world. 29. Why did students give their teachers apples?     A. Apples were ripe when the school year began. B. Apples were the most popular fruit.C Apples were expensive enough as gifts.      D. Teachers liked to get apples from students.30. Which of the following is TRUE about the phrase "apple polisher"?A. It is used to praise someone for his / her performance.B. It is still as popular nowadays as before.C. It may mean something good or bad, depending on the situation.D. It refers to someone who wants to please a leader.31. What do we learn from the last two paragraphs?     A. Apples are related to mothers in America.B .Apple is a popular word, and used in many phrases.C. Apples are attractive because of many stories. D. Nobody wants to use the word banana. DOne of the special features of English people is self-discipline (自律). Generally, English people are polite and always want to please others. On the other hand, they dont like to show their emotions, even in dangerous situations. Imagine the scene! Some English people are caught in a violent storm in the forest. Anybody else would be anxious to run away. The English would just try to hide their emotions. Not a sign of fear would be seen on their faces.     We often hear of the English "reserve"(矜持). On a long railway journey, with four Englishmen sitting together, often there wont be a single word spoken during the whole journey. The English think it is a bad manner to ask personal questions. That wouldnt be the case in America. In a short ride in New York, a taxi driver will tell you about himself, his wife and his family, and probably the towns of England he has visited, too.     The English value privacy (隐私) very much. An Englishmans house usually has a small garden with a fence all around to separate it from the neighbors. An Englishmans house is his castle.     Finally, we have to refer to the most special feature of the Scottish (苏格兰的) people the Scottish dress. Scotland is probably best known to the world for its traditional costume the kilt. This short, skirt-like piece of clothing is worn by men. The kilt is made of a special type of colorful cloth called tartan, which is very special in Scotland.32. When the English are in a dangerous situation they usually _. A. laugh at other people B. behave very bravely C. hide their emotions D. run away immediately 33. In the second paragraph the author mentions a taxi driver in New York to _. A. explain what a personal question is B. show the bad manners of Americans     C. show that English people are not very polite D. show the reserve of the English34.What do we know about the kilt in the last paragraph?      A. Its long and just like a skirt. B. Its worn by both men and women. C. Its made of a special type of cloth in Scotland.     D. Its a traditional costume all over Great Britain.35. What can we learn about the English from the passage?      A. They are not very confident. B .A house with a fence all around makes them feel safe. C .They usually dont respect others privacy. D. They prefer a house with a garden to a flat. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能坡入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多于选项。（请将此部分答案填涂到答题卡71-75题相应位置） Although it is fashionable to say that everyone should share the housework equally, in many homes parents do most of it. _36_It is true that young people spend most of the day at school or college and they also have large amounts of homework to do when they come home. _37_ In my view, family life is more pleasant when everyone shares the responsibility for cleaning and tidying because it takes less time._38_ But in my opinion, young people should learn to do them as preparation for the future.Teenagers should share the housework because learning how to do it will help them when they have you look after their own family in the future. _39_ But if they l
