 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. 

(   ) 1. What is the passage mainly about?

A.     How to save money when visiting Disney World.

B.     How to find good restaurants in Disney World.

C.     How to see a character in Disney world.

D.     How to buy souvenirs for children in Disney World.

(   ) 2. Which of the following can be used in place of "set you back"?

A. Offer you much. B. Save you much.

C. Cost you much. D. Pay you much.

(   ) 3. You should pay more money      

A.     if you have a five-day All-in-One Pass while you're visiting for four days

B.     if you do not make a reservation for hotel rooms in advance

C.     if you are not a Magic Kingdom Club Gold Card holder

D.     if you watch the Diamond Horseshoe Show in the Magic Kingdom.
(   ) 4. The economical way of meeting the Disney characters is      

A.     to have a character breakfast

B.     to watch the Diamond Horseshoe show

C.     to pay separately for Pleasure Island and the water parks

D.     to attend the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue

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。

  Wild animals seem to have escaped the Indian Ocean tsunami(海哺),adding weight to ideas they possess a "sixth sense" for disasters, experts said on Thursday.

  Sri Lanka wildlife officials have said the giant waves that killed over 24,000 people along the Indian Ocean island's coast seemingly missed wild beasts, with no dead animals found.

  "No elephants are dead,not even a dead hare or rabbit. I think animals can sense disaster. They have a sixth sense. They know when things are happening," H. D. Ratnayake, deputy director of Sri Lanka's Wildlife Department, said on Wednesday.

  The waves washed floodwaters up to 3 km (2 miles) inland at Yala National Park in the southeast, Sri Lanka's biggest wildlife reserve and home to hundreds of wild elephants. "There has been a lot of evidence about dogs barking or birds migrating before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. But it has not been proven," said Matthew van Lierop, an animal behaviour spe?cialist at Johannesburg Zoo.

  "There have been no specific studies because you can't really test it in a lab or field set?ting ,"he said.

Other authorities agreed with this conclusion.

  "Wildlife seem to be able to pick up certain phenomenon, especially birds. There are many reports of birds detecting coming disasters," said Clive Walker,who has written several books on African wildlife.

  Animals certainly rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger such as predators(食肉动物).

  The idea of an animal "sixth sense" is a lasting one that the evidence on Sri Lanka's damaged coast is likely to add to.

(   ) 3. What does the term"sixth sense" in the text mean?

A.     It is the natural ability of animals that can save them from danger.

  When I lived in Spain,some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Be?fore they left,they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation(住所).I suggested that they should stay at " bed and breakfast" houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my ad?vice,but they came back with some funny stories.

  "We didn't stay at ' bed and breakfast' houses," they said, "because we found that most families were away on holiday.”

  I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought " VACANCIES" meant "holidays" , because the Spanish word for "holidays" is "vacaciones". So they did not go to house where the sign outside said " VACAN?CIES",which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said " NO VACANCIES" ,because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!

We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Span?ish,the word "DIVERSION" means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road,and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word "DIVERSION" on a road sign,they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hold.

  English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris,when someone offered me some more coffee, I said "Thank you" in French. I meant that I would like some more,however,to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away!Later I found out that "Thank you" in French means "No,thank you."

 From Daban, we move to another ancient small town,Loulan. Daban town is famous for girls and windmills, while Loulan is a myth(神话)in the desert.

  Two thousand years ago,beside the beautiful and rich Luobu Lake,there lay Loulan ancient city of the Silk Road. Businessmen from every country gathered here and there were dancing parties. Everything showed that people in Loulan lived a rich life then.

  However, two thousand years later, this rich land suddenly disappeared from the map of China. Then it became an area covered with sand and dead tree trunks.

  Loulan was first "discovered" by a Swedish man in 1900. People from America, Britain, Japan and Sweden, all set foot here.

In the past century many things have been dug out there including Han Dynasty coins,mirrors and many things from Greek and Roman. All these things show that a lot of business between East and West once took place there.

  Lying on the northwest of the Lop Nur area,the Loulan Kingdom is now a lifeless area with endless "forests" of mounds(小丘)which aren't easily seen in other parts of the world. Its mystery has been attracting so many people from so many countries.
