26、How to save money to visit Shanghai Disneyland?
The “happiest place on earth” is a top destination on many families’ bucket lists. 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. 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 store 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.
2. Make an Autograph Book
An autograph (亲笔签名)book is seen as a must-have 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 latest-and-greatest autograph book at Disneyland, such as the park's 60th anniversary edition. Other choices can get the job done for under $5. For example, you can buy a small photo album; cute pads or notebooks.
3. Eat Breakfast Before You Arrive
Breakfast is almost as pricey as lunch or dinner if you eat inside the Disneyland parks. If you have a hotel with a free breakfast, take advantage of it. If you want to eat out, eat at a local restaurant that is inexpensive or has a kids' menu, such as McDonald's which is close to the park.
4. Take Advantage of Discounts Offered to Special Groups
Disney offers a wide variety of discounts, including for 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.

27、Phil Wise is a wildlife scientist from the Save the Tasmanian Devil (袋獾)Program. The scientists working with this program study Tasmanian devils, check their health, and track the devils found in the wild. Because a disease is reducing the number of devils, Oddity, a young Tasmanian devil, and 14 others were raised in a preserve and then brought to Maria Island to be set free into the wild.
Life on this island off the coast of Tasmania was a big change for Oddity and the others. These devils bad little experience with other kinds of animals and had to explore the land and find new bones.
Though they are raised in zoos all over the world, devils live wild only in Tasmania. They eat dead animals they find, which helps clean up the environment. Devils also eat animals such as wallabies, wombats, and possums, helping to keep those populations balanced.
But a disease called Devil Facial Tumor Disease (DFTD) is killing devils on mainland Tasmania, putting them in danger. DFTD spreads when a diseased animal bites a healthy animal. The goal of the scientists w ho set Oddity and the others free was to create a lot of devils which are free of DFTD on Maria Island. Oddity is a part of this “insurance population” of devils raised in zoos and wildlife preserves. This means that if the facial disease causes the Tasmanian devil to die out in the wild, devils like Oddity can be sent back into disease-free areas of Tasmania, giving devils a chance to survive.
Oddity started his new life on Maria Island. And the other animals did so well that 13 more devils were set free. The 28 original Tasmanian devils have reproduced; there are now around 80 devils. They are doing well on Maria Island. and the plan is considered a success. Wise says he is “very happy to know that animals are getting a chance to be free in the wild in an area that is free of DFTD It is the final aim of all who work to protect animals.”
【1】Why were some Tasmanian devils sent to Maria Island?
A.To save their lives.
B.To treat their illness.
C.To make a further study.
D.To provide pleasure for visitors.
【2】What can be learned about Tasmanian devils?
A.They live mainly on plants.
B.They mostly live in the wild.
C.They need to be protected in the zoo.
D.They help keep the balance of nature.
【3】What does the underlined part “insurance population” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Well-trained wildlife.
B.Healthy baby devils.
C.Animals with DFTD.
D.Disease-free devils.
【4】What are Tasmanian devils’ lives like on Maria Island?
A.They are wonderful.
B.They are dangerous.
C.They are the same as before.
D.They are affected by human
28、Rainforests, it turns out, are not created equal. Take the Amazon rainforest, an area that covers about 7 million square kilometers. But within that huge expanse are all kinds of ecological zones, and some of these zones, says Greg Asner, are a lot more crowded than others.
“Some forests have many species of trees,” he said, “others have few. Many forests are unique from others in terms of their overall species composition…” And all of these different small areas of forest exist within the giant space that is the Amazon Rainforest.
So Asner, using the signature technique called airborne laser-guided imaging spectroscopy, began to map these different zones from the air. “By mapping the traits of tropical forests from above,” he explains, “we are, for the first time, able to understand how forest composition varies geographically.”
The results show up in multicolored maps, with each color representing different kinds of species, different kinds of trees, the different kinds of chemical they are producing and using, and even the amount of biodiversity, the animal and plant species that live within each zone.
Armed with this information, Asner says decision-makers now have “a first-time way to decide whether any given forest geography is protected well enough or not. If not, then new protections can be put in place to save a given forest from destruction.”
Asner says the information is a great way for decision-makers to develop a “cost-benefit ratio type analysis.” Conservation efforts can be expensive, so armed with this information, government leaders can ensure they are making the most of their conservation dollars by focusing on areas that are the most biologically diverse or unique.
The next step, Asner says, is to take his project global, and to put his eyes even higher in the sky, on orbital satellites. “The technique we developed and applied to map Peru is ready to go global.” Asner said. “We want to put the required instrumentation on an Earth-orbiting satellite, to map the planet every month, which will give the best possible view of how the world’s biodiversity is changing, and where to put much needed protections.
【1】Unequally-created rainforests refer to the fact ______.
A. how crowded they are
B. where they are located
C. when they came into being
D. what kinds of species they have
【2】What can government leaders learn from Asner’s mapping?
A. The cost to conserve forests.
B. The chemicals needing for certain forests.
C. The forest areas needing special protection.
D. The number of animals living in a forest.
【3】What is Asner planning to do now?
A. To send a satellite to map the world.
B. To track the change of biodiversity in the world.
C. To develop technology for mapping the globe.
D. To advertise his project around the world.
【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Using eyes in the sky to map biodiversity.
B. Making a map of big forests in the world.
C. Learning about the biodiversity of Amazon forest.
D. Protecting the forest from being destructed.
29、Students who understand the importance of learning a second language will find it very rewarding. Becoming bilingual (会说两种语言的) has many benefits! It takes time and effort. 【1】 In a globalized world, knowing two languages has become very important.
Knowing the same language connects us to one another. We use language to share information, thoughts, and ideas, and these viewpoints collectively create culture. 【2】 Also, your personal experience of culture will be developed when you open yourself to the possibilities another language offers.
With an ever-growing global economy, speaking a second language is a desirable trait (吸引人的特征) for many employers. From translating or creating documents to speaking with customers, employers need speakers of other languages on a daily basis. 【3】
If you plan to travel or work abroad, learning a second language will give you the tools to communicate with others. This will make things easier for you and the people you are communicating with. 【4】 Plus, locals may be friendlier and more helpful if you speak their language.
Opening your mind to new ideas and new challenges leads to personal growth. 【5】 You may also understand and appreciate your own language even more. In a word, learning a second language is something to be proud of.
A.However, it’s well worth it in the end.
B.More often than not, this is due to the language problem.
C.The more you learn new skills, the better your brain’s functions work.
D.It will be easier to ask for directions and order food and other services.
E.By learning a new language, you may begin to see yourself differently.
F.Your ability to speak different languages makes you a valuable employee.
G.Learning a second language connects you to new people and their cultures.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Although many companies offer tuition repayment, most companies only repay employees for classes that are 【1】 to their position. This is a very limiting policy. A company that repays employees for all college credit courses—whether job related or not—offers a service not only to the employees, but to the entire company.
One good reason for giving employees 【2】 tuition repayment is that it shows the company’s commitment to its employees. In today’s economy, where job security is a thing of the past and employees feel more and more expendable, it is important for a company to 【3】 to its employees that it cares. The best way to do this is with concrete 【4】 in them. In turn, this commitment to the betterment of company employees will create greater employee 【5】. A company that puts out funds to pay for the education of its employees will get its money 【6】 by having employees stay with the company longer. It will reduce employee turnover, because even employees who don’t take advantage of the tuition repayment program will be more loyal to their company just knowing that their company cares 【7】 to pay for their education. Most importantly, the company that has an unrestricted tuition repayment program will have higher quality employees. Although these companies do indeed run the risk of losing money on employees who go on to another job in a different company as soon as they get their 【8】, more often than not, the employee will stay with the company.
And even if employees do leave after graduation, it generally takes several years to complete any degree program. Thus, even if the employee leaves upon graduating, throughout those years, the employer will have a more sophisticated, more intelligent, and therefore more valuable and productive employee. And, if the employee stays, that education will 【9】 benefit the company: Not only is the employee more educated, but now that employee can be 【10】 so the company doesn’t have to fill a high-level vacancy from the outside. Open positions can be filled by people who already know the company well. Though unconditional tuition repayment requires a significant investment on the employer’s part, it is perhaps one of the wisest investments a company can make.
