Experience the best of Orlando with the following activities:‎ l Walt Disney World Resort Theme Park Tickets l Universal Orlando TM Theme Park Tickets l Sea World Florida Park Tickets l LEGOLAND Florida Tickets l Discovery Cove Resort Packages What is the best place to stay in Orlando?‎ With a huge number of accommodations to choose from, International Drive is one of the most popular places to stay in Orlando. Located about 9 miles from the downtown area, it's filled with shops, restaurants and attractions Lake Buena Vista, about 15 miles from the heart of Orlando, has apartment options to suit all tastes and budgets. Many travelers are drawn here by the golf courses and shopping centers. But of course, the main attraction is Walt Disney World. If staying close to this iconic theme park is your top priority, Lake Buena Vista is a no-brainer(无需考虑的事).‎ Put on your Mickey Mouse ears and discover the magic of Walt Disney World with the kids. After that, spend a day admiring the inspiring works at the Orlando Museum of Art or visit the Orlando Science Center to learn about important discoveries If you like your music loud and live, get your hands on tickets to a show at The Social, known as one of the best live entertainment destinations in Florida ‎21.

Orlando Science Center B Massimo Bottura is an Italian cook, with plans to open two new restaurants in Paris and Naples next year. But wealthy diners will not be welcome.‎ The food will be free, made from marketplace leftovers (剩余物) and served only to the poor. Bottura's Refettorio Ambrosiano restaurant in Milan already feeds the poor and the homeless.‎ The restaurant is in an old theater in the outskirts (郊区) of the city. Chefs at Refettorio cook free meals with leftovers from local shops.‎ They use recipes (菜谱) created by Bottura and other famous cooks. Bottura told the Reuters News Agency that he never thought leftover foods were a waste.‎ Bread crumbs, some overripe tomatoes, brown bananas…they are just opportunities for us to show what we can do with our creativity. Bottura started the project to reuse leftovers from the eateries of Milan's international Expo in 2015.‎ The project receives support from the church foundation Caritas Ambrosiana. Unlike traditional soup kitchens, the guests do not have to wait in a line to receive food.‎ Everyone gets served at tables. This limits the number of daily guests to 96. But Bottura says the experience can help his guests regain confidence and take back control of their lives.‎ The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization says about one-third of the food produced worldwide each year is wasted or lost ‎24. Which one is NOT the purpose for Massimo Bottura to open the restaurant ?‎ A. To serve the poor with perfect food. B. To reduce the amount of wasted food.‎ C. To help others to be more confident. D.

It can help reduce the waste of food ‎27. Where can we most probably read this passage ?‎ A. A textbook B. A fiction book C. A social magazine D. A tour guide C Morten Petersen used to live in a windowless basement flat in Copenhagen. If he didn't get out in the daytime, he would lose track of time and start becoming annoyed and depressed. "When you are living in a basement with only artificial light, it becomes very clear that something is lacking,’’ he says. “It's an emotional, physical and mental thing all combined. ”‎ You can say that again. Our lifestyles have rapidly changed with light. Prior to the invention of gas lighting at the turn of the 19th century, the only artificial light we could rely on was from flickering firelight, candles or whale-oil lamps. People also spent many more of their waking hours outside. Over time, the technology of artificial light has been advancing, thus changing the way people live and work.‎ Today, the average westerner spends 90 per cent of their life indoors. That means we are getting less light during the day and being exposed to more light at night. This pattern is increasingly being linked to disturbed sleep and circadian rhythms — 24-hour changes in our biology and behavior — with consequences for our physical and mental health. Meanwhile, getting too little sunlight is contributing to vitamin D shortage and may be weakening our immune and cardiovascular systems as well.‎ Our changed relationship with the sun is greatly affecting our biology. That's why people like Petersen are being taken in by researchers to help investigate how much damage we do by shying away from the light, and just how much light we need. The good news is that researchers are ‎ finding even small increases in your exposure to bright light will bring about great changes to your health.‎ ‎28. Why is Morten Petersen mentioned in paragraph 1?‎ A. To explain a reason. B. To state an opinion.‎ C. To introduce the topic. D. To offer background information.‎ ‎29. What is mainly discussed in paragraph 2?‎ A. People's outdoor activities. B. Relationship between people.‎ C. The origin of gas lighting. D. The influence of light.‎ ‎30. What is the consequence of too much exposure to indoor light?‎ A. A small increase in vitamin D. B. Physical and mental disorders.‎ C. More time spent outdoors. D. More quality sleep.‎ ‎31. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. Come out for more sunlight! B. Never live in a basement!‎ C. Lifestyles have changed greatly. D. Artificial light makes a difference.‎ D Like Marty McFly’s banana-powered DeLorean （德罗宁时光机）,a future generation of flying cars could tip over the idea that all flying is bad for the climate. Firms such as the Rolls Royce, Lilium and Vertical Aerospace have argued that flying cars could be a green mode of transport despite the large amounts of energy they need to get off the ground.‎ One study into the environmental impact of such vertical （垂直的）takeoff and landing （(VTOL)） vehicles suggests their backers could be right — at least in some circumstances. Gregory Keoleian at the University of Michigan and colleagues found that VTOLs, if they ever took to the skies, would produce 6 per cent less emissions than an electric car over a 100-kilometre journey. "The VTOL is particularly energy intensive （集中的）during takeoff and landing. The flight phase, however, is much more efficient, and over long distances, makes fully loaded VTOLs competitive with ground based vehicles," says Keoleian. Flying cars would also have the advantage of being able to fly in a straight line, bypassing meandering routes.‎ However, don't act immediately. The difference was only very small and there are several big catches. Flying cars don't really exist yet —they are only at the prototype （蓝本）stage. The prototypes rely on electric power and act as a taxi, but another issue is that the study is a bit of an apples-for-oranges comparison.‎ The researchers assume that each electric car carries an average of 1.54 passengers while the passengers and drivers of the flying car are three and one. The reason for this assumption is that the flying car will provide a shared taxi service like UberPool, but in fact electric cars can do the same. In addition, due to the need for energy during take-off, the emissions from the flight below 35 km will be more than those of electric vehicles.‎ Keoleian and his team conclude flying cars could have a minor role in sustainable transport.‎ ‎ But even if they do prove to be green, they have a lot of other hurdles to cross first.‎ ‎32. Why do firms like the Rolls Royce argue for flying cars?‎ A. They are banana-powered. B. They are energy-saving.‎ C. They run faster. D. They need less energy to take off.‎ ‎33. What does Keoleian’s study find about the VTOL vehicles?‎ A. They are nearly perfect. ‎ B. They are able to fly in a straight line.‎ C. They can win out over long distances. ‎ D. They can save 6% energy than electric cars.‎ ‎34. What does the underlined word "catches" in paragraph 3 refer to?‎ A. Problems. B. Advantages. ‎ C. Differences. D. Efforts.‎ ‎35. What is the author’s attitude to flying cars?‎ A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. ‎ C. Disapproving. D. Neutral.‎ 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Shopping therapy （疗 法）is the practice of using the shopping experience to help overcome depression or other emotional problems. 36 Actually, it really works.‎ ‎ 37 One of the most obvious things is the enjoyment people get from the items they buy. When people shop, they often buy things they really care about on some level. For example, when people come home with a new shirt or a new computer, they assume that the item is going to improve their lives in some way. This can help reduce many feelings of unhappiness.‎ ‎ 38 Some experts think humans are linked with the need to constantly achieve and fight for improvement. People make a decision to buy something, and then actually follow through this plan. This is one way people can take action to directly change their own lives for the better.‎ People who don't actually have any money to buy things still benefit from shopping therapy. For them simply browsing （浏览）can be a nice experience. That's because it helps them form future shopping plans 39 .‎ The simple act of leaving home and spending time around other humans is another possible reason for the effectiveness of shopping therapy. 40 Many people even use shopping as a specific social activity by bringing friends along with them and turning the process into a pleasant one .‎ A. So why not shop until you start feeling better?‎ B. So how do people benefit from shopping therapy?‎ C. These plans offer great expectation and hope in their life.‎ D. Many people shop for this reason without even realizing it.‎ E. People can have the feeling of achievement after shopping.‎ F. Many people have gone into debt due to shopping addiction.‎ G. There is sometimes a sense of community in the shopping experience.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)‎ 第一节 完形填空(共20小题;每题1.5分，满分30分)‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A, B, C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ The stage lights dimmed(暗淡的), and I took a quick look from behind the heavy black curtains into the audience.
