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 （纪念品）in Advance ‎ Disney 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 Book ‎ 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 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 Arrive ‎ Breakfast 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 Groups ‎ Disney offers a wide variety of discounts, including for military service members, college students, teachers, and youth groups. If you think you might qualify for a special discount or group rate, call the Disneyland Resort to book tickets. ‎ ‎21. It may take you more money to buy souvenirs at_____. ‎ ‎ A. Disneyland B. Department stores C. Walmart D. Amazon ‎22. How much do you pay for the park's 60th anniversary edition?‎ ‎ A. $7.95 B. $19.95 C. $5 D. $30‎ ‎23. 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.‎ B ‎ Back in 2003 an 86-year-old man drove his Buick through a crowded farmers’ market. Nine people were killed. More than fifty-four people were hurt, fourteen with serious injuries. When he finally stopped, the 86-year-old man got out his car and screamed at people to get out of the way. No alcohol or drugs were found in his system. Apparently, he was just old and confused.‎ This is a frightening accident, and it is not a rare one. There are many examples of elderly drivers driving into swimming pools, houses, storefronts, or worse.‎ In our teenage years, we all heard “driving is not a right; it’s a privilege.” That is still true, and there comes an age when driving is no longer a privilege that can be allowed. After a certain age, eyesight and dementia(痴呆) are very serious concerns. Undoubtedly, these age-related problems affect some older adults’ driving ability. By the time a person is between eighty-five and ninety years old, his or her driving privilege should be examined.‎ Licensing laws vary greatly from state to state, and it’s time for a national law on the maximum age limit for driving. The motivation for this law is safety. Another option is to start with laws that ban anyone over the age of eighty-five from driving after sundown, because driving conditions are not as safe as daylight hours. Still another option that may allow elderly drivers to continue driving could be new technology like a voice warning system that cautions drivers on busy streets or at traffic lights. Finally, since there are laws against driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, shouldn’t some prescription drugs also be included? The average age of 85-year-old is undoubtedly taking at least one prescription drug daily.‎ The thought of an 86-year-old driver with failing eyesight running down the road in a two-ton piece of metal is unsettling to us all. Driving at an advanced age is not only challenging for the elderly drivers, but also it’s dangerous for the rest of us.‎ ‎24. The first paragraph is written in order to show_________.‎ ‎ A. the harm of driving at an old age B. the importance of traffic safety C. traffic accidents are on the rise D. many elderly drivers are careless ‎25. The author suggests that there should be new laws against driving __________.‎ ‎ A. over eighty-five B. between sunset and dawn ‎ C. with the help of voice warning systems D. under the influence of prescription drugs ‎26. The underlined word “unsettling” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “_____”.‎ ‎ A. disappointing B. worrying C. touching D. interesting ‎27. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A. How to keep old people safe on the road?‎ B. Are drivers well protected by licensing laws?‎ C. Should there be an age limit for elderly drivers?‎ D. Is driving a right or a privilege for an old person?‎ C It is good to get in touch with your inner child from time to time，and obviously some people are willing to pay big money for the chance to do so in a proper environment. A Brooklyn-based adult preschool is charging customers between $333 and $999 for the chance to act like a kid again．‎ At Preschool Mastermind in New York adults get to participate in show—and—tell，arts—and—crafts such as finger paint，games like musical chairs and even take naps．The month-long course also has class picture day where the adults are expected to have a field trip and a parent day．‎ ‎30-year-old Michelle Joni Lapidos, the brain behind the adult preschool，studied childhood education and has always wanted to be a preschool teacher．She’s always on the lookout for new ways to get people in touch with the freedom of childhood．A friend encouraged her to start the mastermind course instead．‎ According to Candice，her blogger friend，Preschool Mastermind gives adults a chance to relearn and master the things that they failed to understand as children．“I realized all the significances of what we learn in preschool，”said founder Michelle Joni，“People come here and get in touch with their inner child．It’s magical．We are bringing ourselves back to another place，another time with ourselves when we are more believing in ourselves，more confident and ready to take on the world.”‎ ‎“One person’s here because they want to learn not to be so serious．”Michelle said．“Another's here to learn to be more confident.” She explained that most of the classes were ‎ planned．However，Joni added that while the planned activities were fun，it was often the spontaneous(自发的)moments that attracted students．“It’s the things you don’t plan for，the sharing between friends and learning from each other.’’‎ ‎28．What is the purpose of Preschool Mastermind?‎ ‎ A．To give adults a chance to return to childhood．‎ ‎ B．To help parents understand their children better．‎ ‎ C．To provide practical training courses for teachers．‎ ‎ D．To introduce some ways of playing with children．‎ ‎29．What is mainly discussed about Preschool Mastermind in Paragraph 2 ?‎ ‎ A．Its customers．    B．Its activities．    C．Its environment． D．Its schedule.‎ ‎30．According to Candice，people come to this program to________.‎ ‎ A．enjoy freedom of thinking B．realize their childhood dreams ‎ C．discover their inner abilities D．figure out childhood puzzles ‎31．What do we know about Michelle Joni?‎ ‎ A．She used to be a preschool teacher． B．She likes to make plans in advance．‎ ‎ C．She founded Preschool Mastermind． D．She gained confidence by sharing．‎ D Very mobile ears help many animals direct their attention to the rustle(沙沙声) of a possible attacker. Researchers say these mobile ears have become a useful communication tool. Their studies of animal behaviour build up a picture of how communication and social skills developed.‎ ‎ “We're interested in how they communicate,” said lead researcher Jennifer Wathan.“And being sensitive to what another individual is thinking is a fundamental skill from which other more complex skills develop.”‎ Ms Wathan and her colleague Prof Karen McComb set up a behavioural experiment where 72 individual horses had to use visual clues from another horse in order to choose where to feed. They led each horse to a point where it had to select one of two buckets. On a wall behind this decision-making spot was a life-sized photograph of a horse's head facing either to left or right. In some of the trials, the horses’ ears or eyes were covered. ‎ If the ears and eyes of the horse in the picture were visible, the horses being tested would choose the bucket towards which its gaze and its ears were directed. If the horse in the picture had either its eyes or its ears covered, the horse being tested would just choose a feed bucket at random.‎ Like many mammals that are hunted by predators（捕食者）, horses can rotate（旋转）their ears through almost 180 degrees - but Ms Wathan said that in our "human-centric" view of the world, we had overlooked the importance of these very mobile ears in animal communication.‎ ‎"It seems there's something in the visual clues----from both the eyes and the ears-----that are really important," she told BBC News. "Horses have quite rich social lives and relationships with other horses, so they're a good species to look at this in." And the more we look at communication across different species, the more we can consider what might have promoted the evolution of sophisticated communication and social skills."‎ ‎32. Why does a horse rotate its ears?‎ ‎ A. To tell each other where they can go for the buckets.‎ ‎ B. To be curious about what the other horse is thinking.‎ ‎ C. To warn the other horse when an attacker is coming closer.‎ ‎ D. To express its hope to build up social relations with others.‎ ‎33. Why did the researchers use the life-sized photograph of a horse in the experiment?‎ ‎ A. To help develop horses’ complex skills.‎ ‎ B. To lead other horses to feed themselves.‎ ‎ C. To make the horses in the experiment excited.‎ ‎ D. To provide clues for the horses in the experiment.‎ ‎34. Why are ears and eyes important to horses?‎ ‎ A. They can find the feeding buckets more easily with ears and eyes.‎ ‎ B. With ears and eyes they can escape from dangers more easily.‎ ‎ C. With ears and eyes they can communicate with other horses.‎ ‎ D. Horses have quite rich social lives with ears and eyes.‎ ‎35. Where does this text probably come from?‎ ‎ A. A scientific magazine B. A medical journal ‎ C. A school text book D. A tourist guide 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。 ‎ ‎ Another Way to Study English: Online Movie Rentals It is generally accepted that the best way to learn a language is to totally involve yourself in its culture by living in the country where it is spoken. 36 . Fortunately, many aspects of a country's culture have made their way to our lives in the form of various media and entertainment outlets(娱乐场所). Have you heard of online movie rentals? If not, there might be an option for you to increase your language skills and enjoy some entertainment at the same time. 37 . ‎ Most companies require customers to operate on the following model: ●Select and sign up for a payment program online, which will determine how many movies you can rent and hold at any one time. ● 38 . You can look up movies by title, actor or director. Then movies will be sent to you within 1-3 days, and shipping is covered by the company. ●Watch the movies, often with no late fees. If you haven't finished on time, you can delay returning. ● 39 . The envelope is prepaid and provided by the rental service.‎ ‎●Check the sites for specific and up-to-date details because new companies and terms of service are always changing.‎ Once you receive the movies, how can you improve your language skills with them? Well, just sitting in front of the TV with a drink in one hand isn't a bad way to relax, but you won't learn much. You should take notes of new expressions while watching a movie. Write them down and look them up in a good English-English dictionary to understand their possible meanings. 40 . If you don't know how to use words, learning vocabulary will lose all meaning. A. Return the movies in a return envelope. B. Watch movies as long as you have nothing to do. C. Please make the best use of time to watch movies.‎ D.
