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 AdvanceDisney 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 BookAn autograph 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 parks 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 ArriveBreakfast 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 McDonalds which is close to the park.4. Take Advantage of Discounts Offered to Special GroupsDisney 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.21. It may take you more money to buy souvenirs at_.A. Disneyland B. Department stores C. Walmart D. Amazon22. How much do you pay for the parks 60th anniversary edition?A. $7.95 B. $19.95 C. $5 D. $3023. What is one piece of the authors advice on breakfast?A. You had better eat at Disneyland.B. You can eat at a local restaurant.C. You should prepare it well at home .D. You can ask the hotel to supply it for free.BWhile astronauts in space get to do many exciting things, they miss out on ordinary things that we all take for grantedbeing able to walk on firm ground, hanging out with family and digging into a slice of hot steaming pizza. Though not much can be done about the first two things, there may soon be a solution to the third one, thanks to this cool 3-D pizza printer!About a year ago, NASA offered $125,000 to Anjan Contractor, a 3-D technology expert, to build a device that would allow astronauts to make pizza on demand. The mechanical engineer promised that his invention would produce pies in large quantities that looked, tasted and even smelled like pizza made in common ovens.Late last year, the engineer presented a video of his first prototype（原型）that begins by creating a single slice of dough（面团）that is cooked and printed at the same time. Then comes the tomato “sauce”a mix of tomato powder, oil and water and finally, a protein slice that looks like cheese. While the video doesnt show the baking process, the inventor says that once the pizza is printed, it can be ready to be consumed in 7 seconds.While the pie in the video looks delicious enough to attract any pizza lover, Anjan Contractor is far from ready for astronauts. Thats because he still has to find a solution to make the food container in the printer last for 30 years. Though that may sound unrealistic, actually it is not. Anjan Contractor believes that the only way that is possible is that the water is removed from all the ingredients and then they are reduced to the powder form. This, as you can imagine, will not be so easy. But, while the printer may not be ready for space, it certainly looks ready enough for people on earth. Hopefully, NASA and Contractor will consider selling it to those not fortunate enough to go to Mars!24. Why does the author mention the things that astronauts in space cannot do?A. To ask us not to take common things for granted.B. To show they live a difficult life there.C. To show their life is boring in space.D. To introduce the topic of the text.25. NASA offered $125,000 to Anjan Contractor mainly to _.A. create some new type of 3-D printerB. attract more companies to work for NASAC. help astronauts in space enjoy fresh pizza one dayD. produce pizza in large quantities to earn great profits26. The biggest challenge that Anjan Contractor is faced with now is probably that _.A. he has no money left to go on with his researchB. the pizza doesnt seem appetizing to pizza loversC. he has no way to make pizza that can last for thirty yearsD. he cannot make the food container last for decades27. Whats the best title of the passage?A. NASA is trying its best to help astronauts eat betterB. Astronauts may soon be able to enjoy steaming hot pizzaC. NASA is working on making pizza for common peopleD. A 3-D pizza printer has been used to make pizzaCFor thousands of years, people thought of glass as something beautiful to look at. Only recently have they come to think of it as something to look through. Stores display their goods in large glass windows. Glass bottles and jars that hold food and drink allow us to see the contents. Glass is used to make eyeglasses, microscopes, telescopes, and many other extremely useful and necessary objects.Until the Second World War, most of the glass used for optical（光学的）instruments was imported from Europe. However, during the war Americans could not get European glass, and they were forced to make their own. Therefore, new kinds of glasses were developed that had been previously unknown. These new effects were achieved by mixing other chemical elements with the sand. Some of these new glasses are very strong and can resist many kinds of shocks. Legend has it that a very hard glass was invented by a Roman who showed his discovery to the Emperor. When the Emperor saw the glass he feared that it would become more valuable than gold and sliver, making his treasure worthless. Therefore, he had the glassmaker killed, and the secret was not discovered again for hundreds of years.In the present century, safety glass was invented for use in modern cars and planes. Safety glass is made by placing a layer of plastic between two layers of plate glass. When the outside layer of glass is broken, the pieces do not scatter（散开）and injure people. Some glass of the type is strong enough to resist bullets（子弹）.Although nowadays plastics have replaced glass under conditions where glass might be easily broken, there are new uses being developed, for the greatest advantage of glass is that its component（组成的）parts are inexpensive and can be found all over the world.28. As time goes by, glass _.A. is regarded as transparentB. is used to make things look pleasantC. is seen as more than decorationD. is widely used to replace steel in making containers29. Why did Americans make their own glass during the Second World War?A. The war blocked the way of glass import.B. The glass made in Europe was out of date.C. They refused to use the European glass.D. They were able to make a new kind of glass.30. Why does the author tell us the legend?A. To prove the Roman was the first inventor of hard glass.B. To support the Americans were as clever as the Romans.C. To give some information about hard glass.D. To provide a historical event concerned with hard glass.31. Why are new uses of glass being developed?A. Because glass is not as safe as plastics.B. Because glass is cheap and easily obtainable.C. Because glass is not as strong and durable as plastics.D. Because glass is more and more widely used.DThe Hawaiian people did not celebrate Christmas before the arrival of Captain Cook in 1778. It was, however, the protestant missionaries（传教士）from New England who first arrived in 1820 that first introduced Christmas to the Hawaiian people.The missionaries reduced the Hawaiian language to written form, enabling the Hawaiian people to read and write in their own language. Many words for which there were no clear Hawaiian language equivalents（对应词）were translated phonetically.Lets look at some key phrases that you may hear in Hawaii during the Christmas and New Years Day holiday season.Mele Kalikimaka Merry Christmas. The words “Mele Kalikimaka” are a phonetic translation. When the missionaries and other Westerners first brought the custom of Christmas to the islands, the Hawaiians had difficulty pronouncing “Merry Christmas” and turned it into words that rolled more easily off their tongues.Hauoli Makahiki Hou Happy New Year. The western Christmas and New Year fell during this same time of the year when the Hawaiians traditionally honored the earth for giving them plenty to eat. This period of resting and feasting was called Makahiki (mahkahHEEkee). It lasted for 4 months, and no wars or conflicts were allowed during this time. Because makahiki also means “year”， the Hawaiian phrase for “Happy New Year” became “Hauoli (happy) Makahiki (year) Hou (new)”Mele Kalikimaka me ka Hauoli Makahiki Hou Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.Mahalo Nui Loa Thank you very much. When you receive a nice gift or are treated to a special meal or beautiful song, youll want to express your appreciation for the kindness.32. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?A. The Hawaiian people had no written language before 1820.B. Christmas celebration became popular in Hawaii in 1778.C. Captain Cook had the greatest influence on the Hawaiian people.D. The missionaries forced the Hawaiian people to change their language.33. The underlined word “phonetically” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_”.A. by meaningB. by soundC. by appearance D. by form34. Makahiki is a traditional time for the Hawaiian people to _.A. celebrate the New YearB. show thanks to GodC. show thanks to the earthD. go for holidays35. What is the text mainly about?A. How the Hawaiian people celebrate their holidays.B. The development of the Hawaiian language.C. How Christmas was brought to the Hawaiian people.D. Some phrases used in Hawaii during festivals.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)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。How can we create the positive change in the world? With many competing needs, it can seem overwhelming（势不可挡的）to decide where to put our energies. 36Spread Peace in Small WaysSometimes just a smile can bring peace to someone. 37 Staying out of the gossip at work, not reacting to the mean driver behind me on the way home, listening to someone who needs to talk, doing what I can to help those around me. I also think that teaching my son by example to be tolerant of others beliefs and practices is very important, I may not be able to bring peace to the whole world but I can work on bringing peace to my little corner of it.38Today I was able to help educate a group of caregivers for the elderly and thank them for their service to seniors. I think that they may feel unappreciated because they are overworked and underpaid. I thanked them for their passion and hoped that getting this positive message would help them with their daily responsibilities. They have lost so much, yet experienced so much, and deserve to have some compassion（同情）in their lives as they deal with what they have to deal with now, on a daily basis.Prevent Accidents39 You may prevent someone from falling over it and prevent injury!Make Friends around the WorldPeace and love are both connected. I have a friend in another country, and she is really a blessing to me. Every time Im in trouble, she always lends me a hand. 40 So maybe we need to love all nationalities, countries.A.
