题目内容
Every time you visit Disney World, there's something new to see. Each time the park ex?pands ,so do your chances to spend money. How can you save? As a family guide to Disney World, I've been to the park more than 25 times with my kids,and I've developed a few money-saving tips.
Buy the five-day All-in-One Pass even if you're visiting for fewer days,it's a deal (the pass costs $299 for visitors ages 10 and up, $183 for kids ages three to nine and is free for kids under age three). Without the pass,you'll have to pay separately for Pleasure Island and the water parks. A single trip to Blizzard Beach, for example, would cost a family of four $100.
Dine out at lunch. The prices at some of the nicer restaurants, especially those in Epcot's World Showcase, are much lower at noontime than at dinner. It's wise to make reservations(预定)before you leave home.
Become a Gold Card Member. For $65 ,you can get a Magic Kingdom Club Gold Card (call 1 -800-56-DISNEY). Cardholders get up to 20 percent off Disney hotel rooms, plus price breaks on character breakfasts, theme park tickets and goods from Disney stores.
Don't pay extra to see a character. Character theme dinner shows are expensive, costing a family of four about $140, and even a character breakfast, where Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck joins you for cakes,can set you back $50. If your budget(预算)is tight, try to meet the characters inside the theme parks and at free in-park shows. You can watch the Diamond Horse?shoe show,for example, in the Magic Kingdom for no additional cost,while the similarly themed Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue needs expensive tickets.
Wait until the end of your trip to buy souvenirs(纪念品).By then,the kids will really know what they want,and you won't waste money on expensive things.

A篇:本文告诉人们在迪斯尼乐园中如何节省不必要的开支。
1. A主旨大意题从文章第一段中"...I've developed a few money-saving tips." 一句以及全文都涉及如何省钱的描述,可知A项正确。
2. C细节理解题文中第五段中说道:"Don't pay extra to see a character. Character theme dinner shows are expensive... where Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck joins you for cakes,can set you back $50."由上下文可猜知"set you back"只可能指多花钱。set sb. back表"让某人花大笔的钱"之意。
3. C细节理解题文章第四段中"Cardholders get up to 20 percent off Disney hotel rooms, plus price breaks on character breakfasts, theme park tickets and goods from Disney stores."的描述是说持卡人在很多地方可以少花20%的费用,所以没有卡的人自然就要多付钱了。
4. B细节理解题由文中第五段中"You can watch the Diamond Horseshoe show,for exam?ple,in the Magic Kingdom for no additional cost."可知看这场表演不用额外付费,当然也就是最经济、最节省开支的方法。
