The “happiest place on earth” is a top destination on many families' bucket lists (人生目标清单). 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．Come Prepared

Plan ahead so that you don't have to purchase a necessity at Disneyland that you could have brought from home. For example, check the weather so that you don't need to buy a raincoat or an umbrella.

2．Buy Souvenirs in Advance

Disney has influenced practically every industry, which makes it easy to find Disney items anywhere, from Walmart, Target, and your local grocery stores 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.

3．Make an Autograph Book

An autograph book is seen as a must­have 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 latest­and­greatest autograph book at Disneyland, such as the park's 60th anniversary editions. Other choices can get the job done for under $5. For example, you can buy a small photo album, cute pads or notebooks.

4．Take Advantage of Discounts Offered to Special Groups

Disney offers a wide variety of discounts, including 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.

1．Where can it take you more money to buy souvenirs?

A．At Amazon.                           B．At Disneyland.

C．At Walmart.                          D．At department stores.

2．How much do you pay for the park's 60th anniversary autograph book?

A．$30.          B．$19.95.         C．$7.95.         D．$5.

3．Who can enjoy the low­priced tickets?

A．All the young people.                B．All the doctors.

C．All the students.                    D．All the teachers.

 When I was trying to find a place where to spend my December holidays, I met by chance some cheap flights to Iceland. After checking just a few winter pictures of Iceland, I realized that the country, known as the land of fire and ice, during the cold months of the year could offer me experiences I had never had before.

For sure you can’t miss the chance to go to Iceland in winter if your traveling wish list includes at least one of the crazy experiences Iceland can offer. Iceland in the North Atlantic Ocean is a paradise ( 乐 园 ) for all those who want to see the northern lights, experience cold weather conditions and put themselves in geothermal ( 地 热 的 ) baths while the snow is falling on their head.

The best way to move around Iceland is with a rental car. Distances are huge and public transport in winter is not really common out of the major towns. As we wanted to be even more convenient we decided to rent a small camper ( 野 营 车 ). Sleeping and cooking in a camper saved us a lot of driving, money and gave us the chance to be always in the right place at the right time.

There were also no locals and in many cases no tourist facilities (设备). For us, as we slept in a camper, it was easier. But for tourists traveling by normal cars it is necessary to check the opening times of hotels and restaurants as many of them run just from June to September.

It is amazing to experience how the weather is changing in Iceland. However, Icelanders prefer to stay inside their houses. They have even no time to complain about the weather in December. All they care about is Christmas. They love to decorate their houses, sing Christmas songs and eat typical Christmas food.

4. Why is Iceland famous as the land of fire and ice?

A. Because tourists would like to play with fire on the ice.

B. Because it is too dry to easily cause fire to happen.

C. Because it is hot inside a house and cold outside.

D. Because there exist hot springs and freezing ice.

5. What did the author think of the rented camper?

A. It was not only practical but also economical.

B. It was convenient but cost them more money.

C. It provided the best chance to see the new country.

D. It was much faster than other public transport.

6. What does the last paragraph imply?

A. The Icelanders prefer to live with their family.

B. The joy of Christmas drives the freezing weather away.

C. December is the coldest month of the year.

D. The Icelanders are always positive and stay outside.

7.What does this passage most probably come from?

A. A textbook  B. A scientific report  C.A travel magazine   D.A news report

                                    C

    Hundreds of children are being treated for sleep problems in Wales every year. In some cases, babies, infants and teenagers have been admitted to hospital while in north Wales alone.

The Children’s Sleep Charity said many children were suffering from lack of sleep mainly because of technology use. Public Health Wales said sleep was as important to a child’s health as healthy eating and exercise, and children with poor sleep patterns were more likely to be fat.

Statistics obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by BBC Wales found at least 408 children have been admitted to hospitals across Wales suffering from sleep disorders since March 2013.

Children aged between 0 and4 made up the highest number of inpatients (住院病人), with some newborns being treated for sleep-related problems from the day of birth.

Vicki Dawson, who set up the Children’s Sleep Charity (CSC), said sleepless nights were putting both children and parents in anxiety. “Their weight and growth may also be affected as well as their mental health,” she said.

Teachers said children showing signs of sleep shortage and tiredness in class were a concern as they couldn’t concentrate for long periods.

Psychologist Amy McClelland, of Sleep Wales, said a common problem was children being “over excited” and “not having the chance to relax property” before bed and families should get back to basics. “Think 1950s family home. Dinner as a family, read, chat, a film maybe, lights off and then bed.” She added.

8. What’s the main reason why children are short of sleep?

A. Less exercise.  B. Eating habits.  C. Technology use. D. Sleep patterns.

9. Who are the majority of the inpatients with sleep-related disorders?

A. Teenagers.     B. Infants(婴儿，幼儿）.    C. Teachers.   D. Parents.

10. What can we infer from what Amy McClelland said?

A. Relaxation has a bad effect on children.

B. It is difficult for children to read before bed.

C. Being too excited is good for sleep habits.

D. Chatting and films make children sleep more.

11. What is the best title for the text?

A. Sleep Problems of Welsh Children      B. Sleep Habits of Welsh Children

C. Ways to Treat Sleep Problems          D. The Problems of Welsh Children

                               D

Life in the Internet age is lonely—or is it? That’s what experts in human interaction are debating after a new Stanford University survey has been published.

According to the study, the more time people spend online, the less they can spare for real-life relationships with family and friends. The researchers asked 113 people about the Web’s influence on daily activities. 36％ of those people are online for more than five hours a week.” As Internet use becomes more widespread, it will have an increasingly isolating (孤立的) effect on society,” says Robert Kraut, one of the researchers.

Scholars and Web lovers criticized the study for stretching its data to make the “isolating” point. While 13％ of regular Web users admitted the loss of time with loved ones, 60％ reported watching less TV. The survey also shows that E-mail is the most popular online activity. If some of webheads (网虫)spend what was once passive TV time keeping company with friends via E-mails, “that’s a move toward greater connectedness（联络性）,” says Paul Resnick, a professor at the University of Michigan.

This isn’t the first claim that the Web should be criticized. A 1998 report monitored 73 Pittsburgh-area families’ Net use for a year. People who used the Internet more “talked less to family members and reported being lonelier and more depressed.” says Robert Kraut.

“It’s true that there have been big declines in social connectedness over the past decades, but those declines began before the Internet was invented,” says Thomas Putnam.

As Amitay Etzioni says, the Internet gives us a different kind of social life—not better or worse than before, but just different.

12. Who claimed that the Web had negative influence?

A. Paul Resnick.   B. Robert Kraut.  C. Thomas Putnam. D. Amitay Etzioni.

13. The underlined word “This” in Para.4 refers to       .

A. the opinion expressed in Bowling Alone

B. the survey made by the University of Michigan

C. the study conducted by Stanford University

D.  the conclusion in a report written in 1998

14. From the passage we learn that       .

A. the Web was blamed more than once for causing an isolating effect

B. watching TV used to take time away from staying online

C 36％ of web users spend more than five hours a week online

D. the Web has the same influence as telephones and televisions

15. The passage mainly discusses       .

A. how we can make a better use of the Internet

B. how declines in social connectedness appear

C. what a different life the Internet brings to us

D. whether the Internet causes an isolating effect

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。

 We all know that stress (压力) can have a negative (消极的) effect on our minds and bodies. It increases our risk for heart attack, and decreases our quality of life. Doctors often encourage people to decrease stress and “stop and smell the roses.” __16__ Consider the following：

Reconsider your diet.

Eating healthfully will not only keep you physically fit, it will also help you think clearly and stay energetic throughout the day. First, consider adding vitamins and nutrients to your diet. Most of us don't get what we need from our diet. Many of these actually are said to have stress­breaking benefits. __17__ Your favourite diet might not lead to good health. If you want to enjoy heart­healthy food without losing taste, you might try the Mediterranean diet which includes fish, healthy fat, plenty of fruits and vegetables, and whole grains.

__18__

Getting active is probably one of the best things you can do to decrease stress. Researchers found that working out has powerful stress­reducing benefits. Another recent study found that people who sleep less than five to six hours a night are more likely to be overweight. Make sure that you get enough sleep by going to bed and getting up at the same time each day, even on the weekends.

Try to take a deep breath.__19__ As you breathe in through your mouth, take in positive and powerful energy. As you breathe out through your nose. You remove any negative energy or stress that is stuck in your own body.

Stress is an unfortunate fact of life. Luckily, you can reduce it by simply making some changes in lifestyle. __20__

A．People who don't get enough sleep tend to overeat the next day.

B．Try to get enough vitamins.

C．Get plenty of exercise and sleep.

D. But how can you achieve this when your day­to­day life is very busy?

E. With these changes, you can improve the quality of your life and regain your

peace of mind.

F. Second, consider changing your unhealthy diet.

G．When you feel stressful, a deep breath through your mouth may be of help.

第二节（满分25分）

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

It was one o’clock in the morning. In the Rivesville town art gallery, a window opened and a man came in. His name was Harry Black, and he was a thief. It was dark in the art gallery, but Harry had a light. He looked across the room at a painting.

“There it is!” he said.

Harry moved quickly across the room. He stood and looked at the painting.

“A million dollars for this?” he thought. “I don’t understand it.”

But he took a knife from his coat. Then he took the painting very, very slowly from its frame. Harry went back across the room to the window, but he walked into a table. There was a beautiful blue glass vase on the table. It fell on the floor and broke into pieces. He ran across the piece of glass to the window.

Harry rented a room in Mrs. Allen’s house. He went quietly up to his room and closed the door. In his room, Harry took the painting from his bag. He wrapped it with a newspaper and put the newspaper under his bed.

In the morning, Janey Allen was putting old bottles into a box. On the TV, a reporter was at the Rivesville art gallery. He was talking about the lost painting and the broken glass vase. Janey glanced at the photo of the blue vase.

At that time Harry wasn’t in his room. He was talking on his telephone. Janey was looking for old newspapers. Every Friday morning, she took them from every room in the house. Then later, the newspaper recycling truck arrived.

Janey opened Harry’s door and looked into his room. She always took his old newspapers or bottles for recycling. She found a newspaper under Harry’s bed. She put the old newspapers into a black recycling box. Then she ran from the house and saw the truck. “Wait!” she said. And she quickly gave the box to one of the men.

Harry came back to the house. He saw the recycling truck, and he saw Janey.

“The newspaper—！Oh, no!” Harry said.

范文一：There are many respectable people around us.They may be our teachers,parents or one of our elders. As for me, my father is the person I respect most.My father is a teacher who loves his work and his students very much. He works very hard every day but he will also spare some time to accompany me and share many funny things with me about his work.

When I come across the problems of learning in my study, my father will listen to me patiently and encourage me to overcome the difficulties bravely. He achieved a lot in his work, respected by his students. So, in my mind my father is the person I respect most and I love him deeply.

范文二：There are many respectable people around us, such as our parents, teachers, polices and so on. But the people I admire most are cleaners. Cleaners work hard silently very day to keep our city clean and beautiful. They get up early in host summer or cold winter when we are sleeping. They don’t work for themselves only, but for us, for our city. Sometimes, we think they are dirty and we don’t want to close to them. It’s not right. They clean our environment by their hard work.

读后续写【参考范文】

He chased after the truck. By coincidence, the traffic light in the nearest crossing turned red when the truck was on the point of going through it. The truck having to stop, Harry managed to get close to it and reached the black recycling box. Having held the most expensive newspaper tightly under his arms, he got into a taxi immediately, not noticing a thin piece of glass drop. However, Jenny witnessed what had happened. Driven by curiosity, she picked up the piece of glass and remembered the photo of the blue vase, with her mouth wide open.

Then Janey called the police on the phone. She informed the police of where the taxi was heading and the doubtful piece of glass she had just found. “It’s exactly from the broken vase in the art gallery, I bet.” The policemen set off in no time. After thirty minutes or so, Harry, the hateful thief was caught when hiding the precious painting in a hut. Eventually, the painting was returned to the art gallery and Harry was punished for his greed.

【思路点拨】

1. 首先理解清楚整篇文章：Harry是一名盗窃艺术品的小偷，一天凌晨他偷了一家画廊的非常昂贵的一幅画，在离开的时候不小心打碎了一个玻璃花瓶。回到租住的地方，Harry把画卷在一张旧报纸里，然后把旧报纸放在了床下；Janey Allen是Harry 的房东，每天为Harry打扫房间，并把报纸瓶子等送到垃圾回收的地方，这天Janey正在收拾房间时，新闻里正在播放画廊失窃案，她在电视上看到了蓝色花瓶的照片。她在Harry的床下看到旧报纸，就按照以往的习惯送到垃圾回收的地方，Harry当时正在打电话，没有注意到这些事，等Harry看到垃圾回收车，看到Janey时，马上意识到发生了什么，他追了过去。
2. 续写思路：读后续写的两段的首句是每一段的方向提示，第二个首句也暗示了第一段续写的结尾，在这篇文章中，第一段的首句为He chased after the truck.Harry追上了垃圾回收车，拿回了报纸。第二段的首句为Then Janey called the police on the telephone.那么Janey为什么打电话报警呢？她发现了什么？文本中提到Janey glanced at the photo of the blue vase. 所以第一段中还要提及，Harry在偷画时打碎的花瓶碎片被Janey发现了，而Harry自己本人却没有注意到。第二段描述事情最后的结果，本着扬善惩恶的主题，Harry被逮到，画被归还给了画廊，Harry也为自己的行为付出代价。
3. 第一段续写：Harry追上卡车，取回报纸，但是在这个过程中，一小块玻璃碎片出卖了他，被房东发现。第二段续写，房东给打电话报警，Harry被捉到，画还给画廊，Harry收到惩罚。文本中划线的单词，the photo of the blue vase, the piece of glass, newspaper, painting, the truck都是续写中必需的单词。
4. 整体用一般过去时，注意非谓语动词和各类从句的使用。
