for acting nor was he goodlooking.When he danced everybody laughed.Hans Christian recited poems though not very well.But he could sing.By the time Hans Christian was fourteen，he left for Copenhagen.People were kind to him but they told him he couldnt do well in the theatre.Then after his fifteenth birthday，his voice changed.He couldnt sing very well any longer.He decided that，since he couldnt sing or act，he would write plays for other actors instead.At first his plays were not a success but then a very important person in Copenhagen，Jonas Collin，read them and thought they are interesting.He became interested in him and he wanted to help Hans Christians first play.The first thing to do was to send Hans Christian to school.Although he was able to read，he knew nothing about grammar or spelling.Collin helped Hans Christian to get through these long，difficult years.His first book was a collection of poems and then he wrote a novel.While he waited for his books to publish，he was writing fairy tales.As time went by，Andersen became a friend of the king.Indeed he became the friend of all the famous writers in Europe.He returned to Odense several times to see his mother before she died and one day he went there as someone special.The people wanted to honor this famous son of their city.There were beautiful，bright lamps in all the streets and squares the night he arrived.Later when he came to write the story of his life，he said：“That night was like a fairy tale.”Indeed it was.Hans Christian was born in a very poor family but he became a famous

have one superpower，what would it be?Dreaming about whether you would want to read minds，see through walls，or have superhuman strength may sound silly，but it actually gets to the heart of

possess: the power to make a difference in the lives of others.Were not saying that everyone needs to contribute their lives to the poor.Your lives are busy enough doing homework，playing sports，making friends，seeking after your dreams.But we do think that you can live a more powerful life when you devote some of your time and energy to something much larger than yourself.Find an issue you are interested in and learn more.Volunteer or，if you can，contribute a little money to a cause.Whatever you do，dont be a bystander.Get involved.You may have the opportunity to make your biggest difference when youre older.But why not start now?Our own experience working together on health，development，and energy the last twenty years has been one of the most rewarding parts of our lives.It has changed who we are and continues to fuel our optimism about how much the lives of the poorest people will improve in the years ahead.【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。作者告诉我们，在我们周围有一些人每天都在激励着我们，这不是因为他们有超能力，而是他们通过做出色的事情，使这个世界变得更美好。因此，我们要做的就是花点时间和精力去帮助别人，这也会对我们的生活产生重大的影响。8What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to?AYour life style.

Dlocals【解析】此处考查游客的来源，要求较强的逻辑性。根据下文提到回避周末或者学校放假时间来参观，所以当地人利用周末来玩的可能性最大，选D。来访者不可能只是村民或者学生，故排除A、C；从原文中看不出来访者都是外国人，所以不能选B。句意为“迪士尼乐园吸引的游客大多数来自当地”。【答案】D24A.shortest BbusiestClongest Dbiggest【解析】周末和假期游客多，等候的时间肯定要长，而这里特别指出了要回避这两个时间，为的是等候的时间短一些，故排除C。此处主要指时间长短，所以排除B、D。【答案】A25A.time BweekCday Dyear【解析】根据“The period”知，此处考虑的是一个时间段，所以首先排除A；圣诞前后应该是一年中的一个时间段，不可能是一天或一周中的某个时间段，所以也排除B、C。【答案】D26A.leave BplanCarrive Dbook【解析】该部分提示游客来访时尽量来得早点，避免在好景点发生游客拥挤现象。leave离开；plan计划；book预订，都不符合句意，故排除A、B、D。【答案】C27A.after

order有条理；in turn轮流，反而。【答案】A32A.ought BmustCwill Dmay【解析】这里表示除了网上购票外，还“可以”通过其他途径购票，所以选may最合适。ought to应该；must必须；will将要。【答案】D33A.opened BreopenedCclosed Dreduced【解析】根据下文“经过两年维修和重建”来看，此处需要“重新营业”这个意思，故其他三个答案是错误的。【答案】B34A.possibilities BchangesCdevelopments Deffects【解析】possibility可能性；change变化；development进展，发展。此处谈Space Mountain两年维修的目的是为了提升show effect“展览的效果”，即它的可参观性。【答案】D35A.rebuild BvisitCreach Dshow【解析】由句意可知应为一早去参观Fantasyland。故应用visit。【答案】B36A.unluckily BunexpectedlyCespecially
