阅读理解 Money-Saving Tips For Disney World Every time you visit Disney World, there's something new to see. What began in 1971 as the Magic Kingdom now includes the high-tech, movie-mad Disney and Animal Kingdom. Each time the park expands, so do your chances to spend money. How can you save? As a family guide to Disney World, I have been to the park more than 25 times with my kids , and I've developed a few money-saving plans. ●Buy the Five-Day All-in-One Hopper Pass (入场券). Even if you're visiting for fewer days, it's a deal (The pass costs ＄229 for visitors aged 10 and up, ＄183 for kids aged 3 to 9 and is free for kids under age3). 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 Show-case, are much lower at noontime than at any other time. It's wise to make reservations（预订）before you leave home. Call 407-W-DISNEY. ●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 prices on character breakfast, theme park (主题公园) 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 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 Horseshoe show, for example, in the Magic Kingdom for no additional cost, while the similarly themed Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue (剧) requires 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. If you are short of money, the writer suggests . A. you should not buy things for the kids from Disney stores B. you should not buy souvenirs at the beginning of the trip C. you should not make a trip to Blizzard Beach D. you should not have your meals out at noontime 2. Which of the following can be used in place of “set you back”? A. offer you B. save you C. cost you D. return you 3. You should pay more money . A. if have a five-day All-in-One Hopper Pass while you're visiting for four days B. if 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 have lunch at a restaurant in Epcot's World Showcase 4. The economical (经济的) way of meeting the Disney cartoon character 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
The effects of the drug began to _.A. pay offB. take offC. wear offD. blow off
阅读理解 Thousands of years before Columbus came to the New World, the American Indians entered North America by crossing a narrow strip of land that once connected Alaska and Siberia.The migrants(移民)entered a new world in which there were no people at all. But there were many animals to hunt, and there were forests where nuts, roots and berries could be gathered. When the Europeans came to the New World, the Indians, at first, taught the settlers how to plant corn, bake fish, make canoes,and smoke tobacco. In return, the whites introduced horses,guns,gun-powder, alcohol. But at last, there were struggles for land, and the struggles could have only one result ─ war. When the wars were over, all Indians were moved to large tracts of land called reservations. Now some of them, embittered(耽怀于)by past mistreat, are determined to preserve their tribal life; some wish to modernize the reservations(居留地).These alternatives, with many variations(变化)are what most Indians have chosen─a future in modern technology and education, or the revival (振兴)of ancient tradition and treaties. (1) The Indians entered North America ______.[ ] A. with Columbus B. before Columbus did C. after Columbus’ arrival D. in the 18th century (2) The Indians moved to a new world which was ______.[ ] A. once settled by Europeans B. inhabited by primitive men C. dwelled by American migrants D. completely uninhabited by other people (3) As soon as the Europeans set their foot on the New World, they ______.[ ] A. were hostile (敌意的) to the Indians B. were on good terms with the Indians C. didn’t treat the Indians in a friendly way D. traded with the Indians friendly (4) The most accurate statement about contemporary (当代的)Indians is ______.[ ] A. most Indians rejects modern culture and technology B. some Indians preserve conventional life style C. some Indians have adopted modern culture and technology D. both B and C (5) The Indians were good at ______.[ ] A. struggle for land B. making boats C. contemporary tribal life D. the revival of their tradition

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.

Americans experience more food recalls (召回) today than they did five years ago, especially when it comes to meat and poultry (家禽). Meat and poultry recalls increased by two-thirds from 2013 to 2018, while food recalls overall went up 10%, according to the report recently published by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group.Meanwhile, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates (估计) 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die from food-borne disease each year in the U.S. "We are looking for the farm-to-fork preventative solutions," said Adam Garber, the research group's consumer watchdog. "By doing that, we can protect people's health."Over the five-year period, poultry posted the most recalls (168), followed by beef (137) and pork (128). The report shows the most serious meat recalls are on the rise. Among meat and poultry, the number of Class I recalls has increased by 83%, nearly doubling. Class I, the most serious of the recalls, is issued when there is a reasonable probability that the food will cause health problems or death.53. When would Class I recalls be issued?A. When the food is likely to cause health problems or death.B. When there are too many complaints from customers.C. When the food problem lasts for five years.D. When the product quality is below standard.

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.
