As for visiting Walt Disney World. People usually have trouble in arranging. The following will give you some practical suggestions on paying a valuable visit to the famous park.
When to go?
While it’s always busy, Disney World is slightly slower between mid-January and March. It’s summer when the visitors , combined with the heat and humidity(潮湿), are crowded. Your best choice is either early in the morning or late in the day--- often you can enjoy more rides in the first or last two hours of the day than you can the entire rest of the day combined.
Where to stay?
The question: to stay on Disney World Resort property or not. Disney World offers three resort pricing: Deluxe(豪华的), Moderate, and Value, with good facilities and in-hotel attractions. That said, they all offer “Extra Magic Hours”(early access to the theme parks), guaranteed entry when the parks are over-crowded, and frequent shuttle service to the many attractions. Off-property hotels will have shuttle transfers, but often at less regular intervals，wasting more time in transport. You’ll also need a rental car, which adds to the expense, making up for saving in the hotel rate. The “Magic Your Way Package” is a good value if you have a large family.
What to do?
Make use of the “Fast Pass”, which, for no extra cost, allow you to insert your entrance ticket into a particular machine at the attraction and receive a schedule ride time a little later on. For example, use your Fast Pass ticket at a ride just before getting lunch. Once you’re done eating, you can return to the ride and jump right on during the busiest time of day. At the Animal Kingdom, the animals are most

active either early or late in the day, so plan accordingly. Thankfully this is fit for the least busy times of day in the park. Study the map of the park the night before to plan your visit. You’ll save time by knowing where things are and where you’re headed.
21. Visitors who use Fast Pass tickets ________
A．will often be checked at the exit
B．can get discounts on tickets
C．will have a well-planned ride time
D．have to pay more for their tickets
22. It can be learned from paragraph 3 that __________________.
A．three types of resort pricing are offered by Disney World
B．every visitor will have a rental car for free
C．all the shuttle transfers are convenient for visitors

23. The purpose of this text is to_________.

More than 2 million US teenagers have suffered a serious bout（发作) of depression in the past year, according to a federal government survey released on Tuesday.
On average, 8.5 percent of adolescents aged 12 to 17 described having had a major depressive episode in the previous year, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration reported.
But there were "striking differences" by sex, with 12.7 percent of girls and 4.6 percent of boys affected.
Depression is the leading cause of suicide, which in turn is the third-leading cause of death for 15- to 24-year-olds in the United States.
"The data Combined 2004 to 2006 data showed that rates of past year major depressive experience among youths aged 12 to 17 generally increased with increasing age," the researchers wrote.
Researchers at SAMHSA and RTI International in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, prepared the report using data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health.
More than 67,700 youths aged 12 to 17 answered questions about mood and depression. They were also asked to rate how depression affected them using the Sheehan Disability Scale, which measures impact on family, friends, chores at home, work and school.
- 13 -
Researchers defined a major depressive episode as two weeks or longer of depressed mood or loss of interest or pleasure, and at least four other symptoms such as problems with sleep, energy, concentration or self-image.
Nearly half of the teenagers who had major depression said it severely damaged their ability to function in at least one of the areas on the disability scale.
"Fortunately, depression responds very well to early intervention and treatment," SAMHSA Administrator Terry Cline said in a statement.
24. The underlined word “ episode ”in paragraph 2 probably means _________.
A. experience B. experiment C. expression D. feeling
25. The main symptoms of a serious depressive episode include ________ .
A. no family or friends or jobs or interests at all
B. low spirits, lack of sleep, energy and self-image, and poor concentration
C. poor health, sex discrimination, less energy and loss of interests
D. suicide, sadness, lack of confidence and depression
26. What can be implied, but is not stated directly?
A. depression is the third-leading cause of suicide
B. There were over 2 million American teens suffering depression in the past two years
C. There were more girl students suffering depression than boys
D. The students surveyed were aged between 12 and 17
27. What will the following paragraph probably talk about according to the passage ?
A. How to recover from stress B. How to have a happy feeling
C. How to prevent and treat depression D. How to live a comfortable life
C
What’s on Your Pet’s Mind?
In 1977, Irene Pepperberg of Harvard University began studying what was on another creature’s mind by talking to it. Her first experiments began with Alex. Alex was a one-year-old African grey parrot and Irene taught him to produce the sounds of the English language. “I thought if he learned to communicate, I could ask him questions about how he sees the world.”
At the time, most scientists didn’t believe animals had any thoughts. They thought animals were more like robots but didn’t have the ability to think or feel. Of course, if you own a pet, you probably disagree. But it is the job of a scientist to prove this and nowadays more scientists accept that animals can think for themselves.
“That’s why I started my studies with Alex,” Irene said, “Some people actually called me crazy for trying
- 13 -
this.”
Nowadays, we have more and more evidence that animals have all sorts of mental abilities. Sheep can recognize faces. Chimpanzees use a variety of tools and even use weapons to hunt. And Alex, the parrot became a very good talker.
Thirty years after, the Alex studies began. Irene was still giving him English lessons until his recent death. For example, if Alex was hungry, he could say “want grape”. Alex could count to six and was learning the sounds for seven and eight. “He has to hear the words over and over before he can correctly say them.” Irene said, after pronouncing “seven” for Alex a few times in a row. Alex could also tell the difference between colors, shapes, sizes, and materials (e.g.wood and metal). Before he finally died, Alex managed to say “seven”.
Another famous pet that proved some animals have greater mental skills was a dog called Rico. He appeared on a German TV game show in 2011. Rico knew the names of 200 different toys and easily learned the names of new ones. When Rico became famous, many other dog owners wanted to show how clever their pets were. Another dog called Betsy could understand 300 words.
One theory for dogs’ ability to learn a language is that they have been close companions to humans for many centuries and so their ability to understand us is constantly evolving (进化). While animals can’t do what humans do yet, some scientists believe that examples like Alex and Rico prove that evolution develops intelligence, as well as physical appearance.
28. Irene wanted to find out __________.
A. why a parrot can speak B. what a parrot thinks
C. how parrots make sounds D. if parrots speak English
29. Alex learnt new words by __________.
A. singing them B. reading them C. rehearing them D. writing them
30. The two dogs mentioned in the article could _______.
A. tell different colors B. recognize strange voices
C. copy human gestures D. understand some words
31. The article concludes that ___________.
A. mental ability can evolve in animals B. dogs may speak to humans one day
C. humans are related to chimpanzees D. our pets understand what we say
D
A shopkeeper sent his son to learn about the secret of happiness from the wisest man in the world. The boy walked a long way, and finally came upon the beautiful castle where the wise man lived.
On entering the main room of the castle, the boy was quite surprised: tradesmen
- 13 -
coming and going, people chatting in the corners, and a small orchestra playing soft music. The wise man talked with everyone, and the boy had to wait for two hours before it was his turn.
The wise man listened carefully to the boy’s explanation of why he had come, but told him that he didn’t have time just then to explain the secret of happiness. He suggested that the boy look around the palace and return in two hours.
“Meanwhile, I want to ask you to do something,” said the wise man, handing the boy a teaspoon that held two drops of oil. “As you wander around, carry this spoon with you without allowing the oil to spill.”
The boy began to walk up and down stairs of the palace, keeping his eyes fixed on the spoon. After two hours, he returned to the wise man.
“Well,” asked the wise man, “Did you see the Persian tapestries（挂毯）in the hall? Did you see the garden that took the master gardener ten years to create?” The boy was embarrassed, and replied that he had observed nothing. His only concern had been not to spill the oil.
“Then go back and observe the wonders of my world,” said the wise man. The boy picked up the spoon and returned to his exploration of the palace. This time he observed all of the works of art on the ceilings and the walls. When he returned, he described in detail everything he had seen.
“But where are the drops of oil?” asked the wise man. Looking down at the spoon he held, the boy saw that the oil was gone.
“Well, there is only one piece of advice I can give you,” said the wise man. “The secret of happiness is to see all the wonders of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon.”
32.When the boy arrived at the castle, he .
A. didn’t expect to see so many people around
B. had already missed his chance to talk to the wise man
C. was shown around the palace by the local people
D. received a warm welcome from the wise man
33.The wise man gave the boy two tasks in order to .
A. show him how to observe the wonders in the world
B. make him learn from his mistakes
C. teach him the secret of happiness
D. let the boy enjoy his palace and garden
34. We can infer from the article that “the drops of the oil on the spoon” probably refer to .
A. the beauty of one’s nature
B. the fortune a person possesses
- 13 -
A. the great opportunities in life
B. the responsibilities one has to take on
34. What would be the best title for the article?
A. The Secret of Happiness B. Lesson about Happiness
C. Learning about Happiness D. Searching for Happiness

Although it took place three years ago, I never forget the evening party which is such a unforgettable experience. In the evening party, we both spoke English. Some boys and girls sang English songs and danced happy. Our monitor had offered us some riddles and crossword puzzles. Unless you couldn’t guess it, you had to sing a song or dance or tell a story. The most exciting program is the short play “Cow and Cough”, where was played by our teacher and a few students. We burst into laughter. The short play was not funny but also instructive. When my classmate meet each other again, they often refer to that interested and unforgettable party.
