In Old Town Alexandria,Virginia,you can find Jamey Turner playing an unusual musical instrument,the glass harp(竖琴).A glass harp is made up of different sized drinking glasses,each filled with water.
Turner makes music by running his fingers over the tops of the glasses.By doing so,each glass makes a different musical sound.Visitors to Alexandria like what they see and hear.They thank Turner by leaving a dollar or more in his box for donations.Jamey Turner is 78 years old.Turner became interested in playing the glass harp at the age of six,when he heard his father playing with a glass of water at the dinner table.He has been playing it for 50 years.
Today Turner puts together his instrument by placing 60 different glasses on a wooden soundboard.He holds the glasses in place with rubber bands,which keeps them from breaking.He then adds different amounts of water to each one to create different musical notes.Adding or taking away just a little water will change the sound.Adding water to a glass will make a lower sound.The smaller bowls of water produce a higher sound,while the larger ones produce a lower,deeper sound.
Turner always uses low-priced glass because it sounds better than costly crystal(水晶玻璃) and he has more control over the sound.Before buying new glasses,he will test them in stores.He decides if they produce the right sound by rubbing his finger over the top of them.
The glass harp was popular 300 years ago when composers like Wolfgang Mozart wrote music for the instrument.There have been about 400 pieces of music written just for the glass harp.But Turner plays all kinds of music,even popular music from China.Few people play the glass harp these days,but Turner says he sees videos of people experimenting with the instrument on YouTube.He hopes the next generation will continue making the music.
4.What do visitors think of Jamey Turner’s performance
A.Boring. B.Attractive.
C.Terrible. D.Common.
5.How can Jamey Turner change the sounds of the glasses

B.People are trying to play the instrument online.
C.Few people are playing the instrument these days.
D.The instrument cannot produce some beautiful sounds.
7.Which of the following can be the best title for this test

The Disneyland parks are full of amusements,but they are also small cities that deal with deliveries,rubbish,and groups of visitors.People need to move from one place to another;they have to refuel and relax.To meet these requirements,the parks are well-equipped in reality.For example,Disneyland Park in California has a reliable transport system.In Walt Disney World in Florida,dustbins are spaced 30 feet apart,and all of them are emptied through underground tubes.
None of this happened by accident.Walt Disney first had his idea for a play land in 1937.He first imagined the park’s buildings in a small size.He spent years collecting ideas by visiting other places.He studied Beverly Park in Los Angeles,including rebuilt historic villages.He visited Colonial Williamsburg,where employees dressed up and walked around.Then he organised a team of engineers and designers to plan and build a small world he called Disneyland.Walt Disney had blueprints(蓝图)drawn up,and tried to get the permission to break ground(破土动工).
In 1953,he bought some land in Anaheim.Some designers thought it was too far,but Disney went ahead.It was like building a new city Pipes had to be fixed.Railway track had to be laid around.Disney chose the hub-and-spoke(轴辐式)street pattern that many cities have.“I want Disneyland to be a place where you can’t get lost,” he said,Designers and architects also diagrammed(图解)the rides and made models,while artists painted the background.
Finally in July 1955,the visitors came.If they picked up maps,they could see the results of years’ planning:the shops and restaurants,the square,and the streets.The magic city had finally jumped off the drawing board and come into real life.

It has been four years since the Flashfood App was set to hit Canadian grocery stores and made it easier for shoppers to buy soon-to-expiry(临期的) food at a discount.Much to my delight,I heard it advertised recently on a radio station and figured it’s time for an update,especially since people became more aware of food waste’s role in the climate crisis.
The first thing I did was to download the App.I hadn’t done it before because it was limited to a few locations,but now it’s all over Canada.I could see immediately that many brands of yogurt are all marked down 50 percent.Users pay for the food using the App,and then pick it up at a marked location in the store.There is no need for you to worry about them actually being bad.
It makes sense for retailers to get behind this App because it offers a win-win situation for everyone involved.Flashfood sells 75% of the products through its App while saving consumers an average of 50% on those grocery items,and it has 300,000 active users right now.That number is expected to grow naturally as Flashfood partners with more grocers.
“As a food retailer,we are in the business of providing food,not wasting it.The Flashfood programme allows us to provide our customers with a convenient and environmentally sustainable(可持续的) way to purchase food.Loblaw sells 77% of the items it puts on Flashfood,moving an average of $800 to $1,000 worth of goods weekly at each of its largest stores,”said Gord Chem,senior VP with Loblaw’s Real Canadian Superstores.
I love looking for discount deals at the grocery store and always keep an eye out for the hot pink clearance stickers.But it’s always random,and I never know what I’m going to get from week to week.The appeal of Flashfood is that I can see what’s available,pre-purchase it,and leave it off my shopping list.
12.What can we know about the food on the Flashfood
A.It’s delivered directly to the customers.
B.Much of it is charged at half the price.
C.Users can pay for it in the marked store.
D.It’ll be a month away before it goes bad.
13.According to Gord Chem,the Flashfood is .
A.beneficial B.popular
C.creative D.reliable
14.How is the advantage of Flashfood introduced in the last paragraph
A.By listing some examples.
B.By making a comparison.
C.By explaining the cause.
D.By introducing the result.
15.What is the main idea of the text
A.Customers can buy much cheaper food on a recent app.
B.A win-win situation has been set for Canadians involved.
C.Canadians have a smart approach to reducing food waste.
D.Canadians adopt a new way of protecting the environment.

Saving Money on Holiday Travel
The holiday season isn’t just about shopping and gifts. 16 However,holiday travel can get very expensive.Fortunately,the following tips will help you keep your travelling expense under control.
Plan ahead.The earlier you book your travel,from tickets to hotels,the easier it is to find good deals. 17 In fact,you should book travel one to three months in advance so that you have more opportunities to find the best deals.
Book your air travel on cheaper days.Travelling by air on Tuesdays and Wednesdays often costs less than travelling on Fridays and Sundays.During the holidays,though,it’s not just about a specific day of the week. 18 Days right before and after a holiday can be more expensive.If you don’t travel on Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day,you might be able to find an even better deal.
Consider travelling overnight.Early-morning flights often cost less than those at more convenient time. 19 Depending on where you are going,and the ways of getting there,overnight travel can help you avoid a night in the hotel,as well as save your money on travel to your destination.
20 You can’t bring water or drink with you on the plane,but you can bring sandwiches and other food.When you’re on the road,you can buy food at local food stores to make your own meals.
A.Bring your own food.
B.Consider cheap hotels that provide food.
C.Besides,booking earlier can save your money.
D.If you are flying,consider airports that are farther away.
E.You also need to consider the days before and after the holiday.
F.A great deal of travel also takes place during this time of year.
G.Other choices include night trains and ships.

Two years ago,my friend and I were at college.With his birthday quickly 21 ,he came to me with an unusual 22 :instead of receiving presents,he wanted to do some acts of kindness.
I was 23 with such an idea. 24 instead of taking for the birthday was really different.I asked him how he could come up with such a 25 idea.He told me about a TED talk he had watched on generosity,which had 26 him.So we started to plan out creative things we could do.
Our university employed some security guards to 27 its students.They have to work around the clock,keeping watch on every corner throughout the university.For the most part it’s a thankless job as most people grow 28 to seeing the guards all around and eventually barely notice their 29 ,let alone acknowledge their efforts.How could we show them our appreciation
We decided to make a large pot of hot chocolate.We hired a Uber and asked the driver to take us around the campus where we knew the 30 would be and we poured them each a cup of hot chocolate.The Uber driver was 31 a bit doubtful about the entire plan but after a while he was helping us spot the guards and our lively spirit had 32 to him as well.We were met with many 33 and appreciative words.It was amazing to see how a 34 act or even intention of generosity can lift everyone’s spirit.
I now realise that special energy is created when you choose to think bigger than yourself and act in 35 of others.You’ll find it’s actually the greatest gift you’ll ever get,especially when it’s your birthday.

Papa always wanted a cowboy to help on our farm.When I was born,he probably took one look at me and said,“Send her back!”OK,so I overstate a little.But I know he wishes I were a boy.He’s always calling me “Joey”instead of “Josefina”.I’ve been riding in barrel races since about the time I started walking.But whenever I ask to help herd(放牧) the cows here on the farm,Papa always says,“That’s men’s work.”
On Saturday morning it rained cats and dogs.I flew into the kitchen when I smelled the delicious pork sausage.Papa had already finished eating and was putting on his rubber boots.Without a word,Papa walked out into the downpour and his face fell.“Is Papa mad at me ”I asked Mama,who sat at the table drinking coffee.After filling my plate with eggs and sausage,I sat down beside her.
“Your father is worried about the cows,”Mama explained.“Unless he can drive them to high ground,they might drown.He needs help.”“I’m pretty good on horses,”I reminded her between bites.“I’ve got several cups to prove it.”She laughed,“You know how Papa feels about young ladies driving cattle.”
I did,but I decided to make an offer anyway.When he came to the stable(马厩),I was there waiting.“I could help if you’d only let me,”I told him.He stood there for what seemed like an hour,and then said,“Go get your raincoat,Joey.”
“It’s Josefina!”I raced back into the house.Walking in my wide-brimmed hat and high-topped boots,I felt like a cowgirl.
Fully equipped,Papa and I set off in the heavy rain.Papa rode on a big horse named Miguel and I on my small horse Isabella.We began calling the cows as soon as we reached the side of the river.Our horses made a noise every now and then as muddy water from the flooded stream tickled(使发痒) their bellies.
Finally,we found the cows bunched up in a large bush.
By the time we got back home,the rain had mostly given way to darkness.

In Old Town Alexandria,Virginia,you can find Jamey Turner playing an unusual musical instrument,the glass harp(竖琴).A glass harp is made up of different sized drinking glasses,each filled with water.
Turner makes music by running his fingers over the tops of the glasses.By doing so,each glass makes a different musical sound.Visitors to Alexandria like what they see and hear.They thank Turner by leaving a dollar or more in his box for donations.Jamey Turner is 78 years old.Turner became interested in playing the glass harp at the age of six,when he heard his father playing with a glass of water at the dinner table.He has been playing it for 50 years.
Today Turner puts together his instrument by placing 60 different glasses on a wooden soundboard.He holds the glasses in place with rubber bands,which keeps them from breaking.He then adds different amounts of water to each one to create different musical notes.Adding or taking away just a little water will change the sound.Adding water to a glass will make a lower sound.The smaller bowls of water produce a higher sound,while the larger ones produce a lower,deeper sound.
Turner always uses low-priced glass because it sounds better than costly crystal(水晶玻璃) and he has more control over the sound.Before buying new glasses,he will test them in stores.He decides if they produce the right sound by rubbing his finger over the top of them.
The glass harp was popular 300 years ago when composers like Wolfgang Mozart wrote music for the instrument.There have been about 400 pieces of music written just for the glass harp.But Turner plays all kinds of music,even popular music from China.Few people play the glass harp these days,but Turner says he sees videos of people experimenting with the instrument on YouTube.He hopes the next generation will continue making the music.

Saving Money on Holiday Travel
The holiday season isn’t just about shopping and gifts. 16 However,holiday travel can get very expensive.Fortunately,the following tips will help you keep your travelling expense under control.
Plan ahead.The earlier you book your travel,from tickets to hotels,the easier it is to find good deals. 17 In fact,you should book travel one to three months in advance so that you have more opportunities to find the best deals.
Book your air travel on cheaper days.Travelling by air on Tuesdays and Wednesdays often costs less than travelling on Fridays and Sundays.During the holidays,though,it’s not just about a specific day of the week. 18 Days right before and after a holiday can be more expensive.If you don’t travel on Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day,you might be able to find an even better deal.
Consider travelling overnight.Early-morning flights often cost less than those at more convenient time. 19 Depending on where you are going,and the ways of getting there,overnight travel can help you avoid a night in the hotel,as well as save your money on travel to your destination.
20 You can’t bring water or drink with you on the plane,but you can bring sandwiches and other food.When you’re on the road,you can buy food at local food stores to make your own meals.
A.Bring your own food.
B.Consider cheap hotels that provide food.
C.Besides,booking earlier can save your money.
D.If you are flying,consider airports that are farther away.
E.You also need to consider the days before and after the holiday.
F.A great deal of travel also takes place during this time of year.

Learning that a meaningful race will be held in our community to celebrate the coming Dragon Boat Festival,I’m writing to invite you to sign up together.
The dragon boat race is one of the most typical traditions of the Dragon Boat Festival.It is said that after the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan committed suicide in a river,people raced out in boats to get his body,which later became a custom of the festival.Now it’s a worldwide popular water sport and celebrating activity.To compete in the race,we’d better watch some videos in advance.

Papa always wanted a cowboy to help on our farm.When I was born,he probably took one look at me and said,“Send her back!”OK,so I overstate a little.But I know he wishes I were a boy.He’s always calling me “Joey”instead of “Josefina”.I’ve been riding in barrel races since about the time I started walking.But whenever I ask to help herd(放牧) the cows here on the farm,Papa always says,“That’s men’s work.”
On Saturday morning it rained cats and dogs.I flew into the kitchen when I smelled the delicious pork sausage.Papa had already finished eating and was putting on his rubber boots.Without a word,Papa walked out into the downpour and his face fell.“Is Papa mad at me ”I asked Mama,who sat at the table drinking coffee.After filling my plate with eggs and sausage,I sat down beside her.
“Your father is worried about the cows,”Mama explained.“Unless he can drive them to high ground,they might drown.He needs help.”“I’m pretty good on horses,”I reminded her between bites.“I’ve got several cups to prove it.”She laughed,“You know how Papa feels about young ladies driving cattle.”
I did,but I decided to make an offer anyway.When he came to the stable(马厩),I was there waiting.“I could help if you’d only let me,”I told him.He stood there for what seemed like an hour,and then said,“Go get your raincoat,Joey.”
“It’s Josefina!”I raced back into the house.Walking in my wide-brimmed hat and high-topped boots,I felt like a cowgirl.
Fully equipped,Papa and I set off in the heavy rain.Papa rode on a big horse named Miguel and I on my small horse Isabella.We began calling the cows as soon as we reached the side of the river.Our horses made a noise every now and then as muddy water from the flooded stream tickled(使发痒) their bellies.
Finally,we found the cows bunched up in a large bush.
By the time we got back home,the rain had mostly given way to darkness.
参考范文
Finally,we found the cows bunched up in a large bush.Papa and I rode back and forth behind them,yelling to drive them out of the bush.At last we got the cows out of the bush and herded them along a muddy road towards high ground.As Isabella waded across a deep stream,I felt cold water creeping into my boots and due to the heavy rain,I was nearly soaked to the skin.Grinning,Papa said,“A true cowboy is tough,Joey,”“Cowgirl,”I murmured.Finally,we succeeded in getting the cows to high ground,which took us all day.
By the time we got back home,the rain had mostly given way to darkness.We got off the horses and led them into the stable.After changing into dry clothes,we went to the stable again.Papa brushed the horses while I fed them.Papa said,“You’re a good cowboy,Joey.”“Cowboy Joey ”I asked.Laughing,Papa picked me up.“My little cowgirl,Josefina,I’m so proud of you!”A big smile spread over my face and I knew Papa really does love me,even though I’m not a cowboy.

In Old Town Alexandria,Virginia,you can find Jamey Turner playing an unusual musical instrument,the glass harp(竖琴).A glass harp is made up of different sized drinking glasses,each filled with water.
Turner makes music by running his fingers over the tops of the glasses.By doing so,each glass makes a different musical sound.Visitors to Alexandria like what they see and hear.They thank Turner by leaving a dollar or more in his box for donations.Jamey Turner is 78 years old.Turner became interested in playing the glass harp at the age of six,when he heard his father playing with a glass of water at the dinner table.He has been playing it for 50 years.
Today Turner puts together his instrument by placing 60 different glasses on a wooden soundboard.He holds the glasses in place with rubber bands,which keeps them from breaking.He then adds different amounts of water to each one to create different musical notes.Adding or taking away just a little water will change the sound.Adding water to a glass will make a lower sound.The smaller bowls of water produce a higher sound,while the larger ones produce a lower,deeper sound.
Turner always uses low-priced glass because it sounds better than costly crystal(水晶玻璃) and he has more control over the sound.Before buying new glasses,he will test them in stores.He decides if they produce the right sound by rubbing his finger over the top of them.
The glass harp was popular 300 years ago when composers like Wolfgang Mozart wrote music for the instrument.There have been about 400 pieces of music written just for the glass harp.But Turner plays all kinds of music,even popular music from China.Few people play the glass harp these days,but Turner says he sees videos of people experimenting with the instrument on YouTube.He hopes the next generation will continue making the music.
4.What do visitors think of Jamey Turner’s performance
A.Boring. B.Attractive.
C.Terrible. D.Common.
5.How can Jamey Turner change the sounds of the glasses
A.By beating the glasses on different parts.
B.By placing the glasses on a wooden board.
C.By adding or reducing water in the glasses.
D.By holding different glasses with rubber bands.
6.What may be Jamey Turner’s real worry about the glass harp
A.Little music is written for the instrument.
B.People are trying to play the instrument online.
C.Few people are playing the instrument these days.
D.The instrument cannot produce some beautiful sounds.
7.Which of the following can be the best title for this test
A.Making Music by Playing Glasses
B.Special Sounds from Glasses
C.Devotion on Playing Glasses for Fun
D.Fingers over the Tops of the Glasses

The Disneyland parks are full of amusements,but they are also small cities that deal with deliveries,rubbish,and groups of visitors.People need to move from one place to another;they have to refuel and relax.To meet these requirements,the parks are well-equipped in reality.For example,Disneyland Park in California has a reliable transport system.In Walt Disney World in Florida,dustbins are spaced 30 feet apart,and all of them are emptied through underground tubes.
None of this happened by accident.Walt Disney first had his idea for a play land in 1937.He first imagined the park’s buildings in a small size.He spent years collecting ideas by visiting other places.He studied Beverly Park in Los Angeles,including rebuilt historic villages.He visited Colonial Williamsburg,where employees dressed up and walked around.Then he organised a team of engineers and designers to plan and build a small world he called Disneyland.Walt Disney had blueprints(蓝图)drawn up,and tried to get the permission to break ground(破土动工).
In 1953,he bought some land in Anaheim.Some designers thought it was too far,but Disney went ahead.It was like building a new city Pipes had to be fixed.Railway track had to be laid around.Disney chose the hub-and-spoke(轴辐式)street pattern that many cities have.“I want Disneyland to be a place where you can’t get lost,” he said,Designers and architects also diagrammed(图解)the rides and made models,while artists painted the background.
Finally in July 1955,the visitors came.If they picked up maps,they could see the results of years’ planning:the shops and restaurants,the square,and the streets.The magic city had finally jumped off the drawing board and come into real life.
8.What does the author want to show about the Disneyland parks in the first paragraph
A.The convenient environment.
B.The amusing tourist attractions.
C.The differences between the parks.
D.The visitors’ common requirements.
9.Why did Walt Disney travel to different places including Beverly Park
A.To choose a place for construction.
B.To advertise his Disneyland Park.
C.To experience American culture.
D.To get inspiration for his park.
10.What kind of person is Walt Disney according to the passage
A.Confident but selfish.
B.Stubborn but kind-hearted.
C.Considerate and determined.
D.Careful and hard-working.
11.What’s the best title of the text
A.It is worthwhile to build large parks
B.Disneyland has been built like a brand-new city
C.How a theme park was built in a big city of the USA
D.Disneyland—a famous park around the world

It has been four years since the Flashfood App was set to hit Canadian grocery stores and made it easier for shoppers to buy soon-to-expiry(临期的) food at a discount.Much to my delight,I heard it advertised recently on a radio station and figured it’s time for an update,especially since people became more aware of food waste’s role in the climate crisis.
The first thing I did was to download the App.I hadn’t done it before because it was limited to a few locations,but now it’s all over Canada.I could see immediately that many brands of yogurt are all marked down 50 percent.Users pay for the food using the App,and then pick it up at a marked location in the store.There is no need for you to worry about them actually being bad.
It makes sense for retailers to get behind this App because it offers a win-win situation for everyone involved.Flashfood sells 75% of the products through its App while saving consumers an average of 50% on those grocery items,and it has 300,000 active users right now.That number is expected to grow naturally as Flashfood partners with more grocers.
“As a food retailer,we are in the business of providing food,not wasting it.The Flashfood programme allows us to provide our customers with a convenient and environmentally sustainable(可持续的) way to purchase food.Loblaw sells 77% of the items it puts on Flashfood,moving an average of $800 to $1,000 worth of goods weekly at each of its largest stores,”said Gord Chem,senior VP with Loblaw’s Real Canadian Superstores.
I love looking for discount deals at the grocery store and always keep an eye out for the hot pink clearance stickers.But it’s always random,and I never know what I’m going to get from week to week.The appeal of Flashfood is that I can see what’s available,pre-purchase it,and leave it off my shopping list.
12.What can we know about the food on the Flashfood

Papa always wanted a cowboy to help on our farm.When I was born,he probably took one look at me and said,“Send her back!”OK,so I overstate a little.But I know he wishes I were a boy.He’s always calling me “Joey”instead of “Josefina”.I’ve been riding in barrel races since about the time I started walking.But whenever I ask to help herd(放牧) the cows here on the farm,Papa always says,“That’s men’s work.”
On Saturday morning it rained cats and dogs.I flew into the kitchen when I smelled the delicious pork sausage.Papa had already finished eating and was putting on his rubber boots.Without a word,Papa walked out into the downpour and his face fell.“Is Papa mad at me ”I asked Mama,who sat at the table drinking coffee.After filling my plate with eggs and sausage,I sat down beside her.
“Your father is worried about the cows,”Mama explained.“Unless he can drive them to high ground,they might drown.He needs help.”“I’m pretty good on horses,”I reminded her between bites.“I’ve got several cups to prove it.”She laughed,“You know how Papa feels about young ladies driving cattle.”
I did,but I decided to make an offer anyway.When he came to the stable(马厩),I was there waiting.“I could help if you’d only let me,”I told him.He stood there for what seemed like an hour,and then said,“Go get your raincoat,Joey.”
“It’s Josefina!”I raced back into the house.Walking in my wide-brimmed hat and high-topped boots,I felt like a cowgirl.
Fully equipped,Papa and I set off in the heavy rain.Papa rode on a big horse named Miguel and I on my small horse Isabella.We began calling the cows as soon as we reached the side of the river.Our horses made a noise every now and then as muddy water from the flooded stream tickled(使发痒) their bellies.
Finally,we found the cows bunched up in a large bush.
By the time we got back home,the rain had mostly given way to darkness.

In Old Town Alexandria,Virginia,you can find Jamey Turner playing an unusual musical instrument,the glass harp(竖琴).A glass harp is made up of different sized drinking glasses,each filled with water.
Turner makes music by running his fingers over the tops of the glasses.By doing so,each glass makes a different musical sound.Visitors to Alexandria like what they see and hear.They thank Turner by leaving a dollar or more in his box for donations.Jamey Turner is 78 years old.Turner became interested in playing the glass harp at the age of six,when he heard his father playing with a glass of water at the dinner table.He has been playing it for 50 years.
Today Turner puts together his instrument by placing 60 different glasses on a wooden soundboard.He holds the glasses in place with rubber bands,which keeps them from breaking.He then adds different amounts of water to each one to create different musical notes.Adding or taking away just a little water will change the sound.Adding water to a glass will make a lower sound.The smaller bowls of water produce a higher sound,while the larger ones produce a lower,deeper sound.
Turner always uses low-priced glass because it sounds better than costly crystal(水晶玻璃) and he has more control over the sound.Before buying new glasses,he will test them in stores.He decides if they produce the right sound by rubbing his finger over the top of them.
The glass harp was popular 300 years ago when composers like Wolfgang Mozart wrote music for the instrument.There have been about 400 pieces of music written just for the glass harp.But Turner plays all kinds of music,even popular music from China.Few people play the glass harp these days,but Turner says he sees videos of people experimenting with the instrument on YouTube.He hopes the next generation will continue making the music.

The Disneyland parks are full of amusements,but they are also small cities that deal with deliveries,rubbish,and groups of visitors.People need to move from one place to another;they have to refuel and relax.To meet these requirements,the parks are well-equipped in reality.For example,Disneyland Park in California has a reliable transport system.In Walt Disney World in Florida,dustbins are spaced 30 feet apart,and all of them are emptied through underground tubes.
None of this happened by accident.Walt Disney first had his idea for a play land in 1937.He first imagined the park’s buildings in a small size.He spent years collecting ideas by visiting other places.He studied Beverly Park in Los Angeles,including rebuilt historic villages.He visited Colonial Williamsburg,where employees dressed up and walked around.Then he organised a team of engineers and designers to plan and build a small world he called Disneyland.Walt Disney had blueprints(蓝图)drawn up,and tried to get the permission to break ground(破土动工).
In 1953,he bought some land in Anaheim.Some designers thought it was too far,but Disney went ahead.It was like building a new city Pipes had to be fixed.Railway track had to be laid around.Disney chose the hub-and-spoke(轴辐式)street pattern that many cities have.“I want Disneyland to be a place where you can’t get lost,” he said,Designers and architects also diagrammed(图解)the rides and made models,while artists painted the background.
Finally in July 1955,the visitors came.If they picked up maps,they could see the results of years’ planning:the shops and restaurants,the square,and the streets.The magic city had finally jumped off the drawing board and come into real life.
8.What does the author want to show about the Disneyland parks in the first paragraph
A.The convenient environment.
B.The amusing tourist attractions.
C.The differences between the parks.
D.The visitors’ common requirements.
答案A
解析推理判断题。由第一段中的“People need to move from one place to another;they have to refuel and relax.To meet these requirements,the parks are well-equipped in reality.For example,Disneyland Park in California has a reliable transport system.In Walt Disney World in Florida,dustbins are spaced 30 feet apart,and all of them are emptied through underground tubes.”可知,作者想在第一段中展示迪斯尼乐园方便的环境。故选A项。

It has been four years since the Flashfood App was set to hit Canadian grocery stores and made it easier for shoppers to buy soon-to-expiry(临期的) food at a discount.Much to my delight,I heard it advertised recently on a radio station and figured it’s time for an update,especially since people became more aware of food waste’s role in the climate crisis.
The first thing I did was to download the App.I hadn’t done it before because it was limited to a few locations,but now it’s all over Canada.I could see immediately that many brands of yogurt are all marked down 50 percent.Users pay for the food using the App,and then pick it up at a marked location in the store.There is no need for you to worry about them actually being bad.
It makes sense for retailers to get behind this App because it offers a win-win situation for everyone involved.Flashfood sells 75% of the products through its App while saving consumers an average of 50% on those grocery items,and it has 300,000 active users right now.That number is expected to grow naturally as Flashfood partners with more grocers.
“As a food retailer,we are in the business of providing food,not wasting it.The Flashfood programme allows us to provide our customers with a convenient and environmentally sustainable(可持续的) way to purchase food.Loblaw sells 77% of the items it puts on Flashfood,moving an average of $800 to $1,000 worth of goods weekly at each of its largest stores,”said Gord Chem,senior VP with Loblaw’s Real Canadian Superstores.
I love looking for discount deals at the grocery store and always keep an eye out for the hot pink clearance stickers.But it’s always random,and I never know what I’m going to get from week to week.The appeal of Flashfood is that I can see what’s available,pre-purchase it,and leave it off my shopping list.
12.What can we know about the food on the Flashfood
A.It’s delivered directly to the customers.
B.Much of it is charged at half the price.
C.Users can pay for it in the marked store.
D.It’ll be a month away before it goes bad.
答案B
解析细节理解题。从第二段中的“I could see immediately that many brands of yogurt are all marked down 50 percent.”可知,Flashfood上许多品牌的食物都标价打五折。
13.According to Gord Chem,the Flashfood is .
A.beneficial B.popular
C.creative D.reliable
答案A
解析推理判断题。从第四段中Gord Chem所说的话可知,他认为Flashfood给顾客提供了方便,并且提升了商店的销售量。由此可以判断:他认为Flashfood是一款非常有利的应用程序。
14.How is the advantage of Flashfood introduced in the last paragraph
A.By listing some examples.
B.By making a comparison.
C.By explaining the cause.
D.By introducing the result.
答案B
解析推理判断题。从最后一段内容可知,作者喜欢在杂货店里购买打折商品,但在Flashfood上选购打折食物更方便。由此可以判断:作者采用了对比的方法来描写Flashfood的优点。
15.What is the main idea of the text
A.Customers can buy much cheaper food on a recent app.
B.A win-win situation has been set for Canadians involved.
C.Canadians have a smart approach to reducing food waste.
D.Canadians adopt a new way of protecting the environment.
答案C
解析主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文介绍了加拿大最近推行的一款有益的应用程序Flashfood,该程序对临期食品进行打折售卖,从而有效地减少了食物浪费。

Saving Money on Holiday Travel
The holiday season isn’t just about shopping and gifts. 16 However,holiday travel can get very expensive.Fortunately,the following tips will help you keep your travelling expense under control.
Plan ahead.The earlier you book your travel,from tickets to hotels,the easier it is to find good deals. 17 In fact,you should book travel one to three months in advance so that you have more opportunities to find the best deals.
Book your air travel on cheaper days.Travelling by air on Tuesdays and Wednesdays often costs less than travelling on Fridays and Sundays.During the holidays,though,it’s not just about a specific day of the week. 18 Days right before and after a holiday can be more expensive.If you don’t travel on Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day,you might be able to find an even better deal.
Consider travelling overnight.Early-morning flights often cost less than those at more convenient time. 19 Depending on where you are going,and the ways of getting there,overnight travel can help you avoid a night in the hotel,as well as save your money on travel to your destination.
20 You can’t bring water or drink with you on the plane,but you can bring sandwiches and other food.When you’re on the road,you can buy food at local food stores to make your own meals.
A.Bring your own food.
B.Consider cheap hotels that provide food.
C.Besides,booking earlier can save your money.
D.If you are flying,consider airports that are farther away.
E.You also need to consider the days before and after the holiday.
F.A great deal of travel also takes place during this time of year.
G.Other choices include night trains and ships.

Our university employed some security guards to 27 its students.They have to work around the clock,keeping watch on every corner throughout the university.For the most part it’s a thankless job as most people grow 28 to seeing the guards all around and eventually barely notice their 29 ,let alone acknowledge their efforts.How could we show them our appreciation
We decided to make a large pot of hot chocolate.We hired a Uber and asked the driver to take us around the campus where we knew the 30 would be and we poured them each a cup of hot chocolate.The Uber driver was 31 a bit doubtful about the entire plan but after a while he was helping us spot the guards and our lively spirit had 32 to him as well.We were met with many 33 and appreciative words.It was amazing to see how a 34 act or even intention of generosity can lift everyone’s spirit.
I now realise that special energy is created when you choose to think bigger than yourself and act in 35 of others.You’ll find it’s actually the greatest gift you’ll ever get,especially when it’s your birthday.

Dear Louis,
Learning that a meaningful race will be held in our community to celebrate the coming Dragon Boat Festival,I’m writing to invite you to sign up together.
The dragon boat race is one of the most typical traditions of the Dragon Boat Festival.It is said that after the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan committed suicide in a river,people raced out in boats to get his body,which later became a custom of the festival.Now it’s a worldwide popular water sport and celebrating activity.To compete in the race,we’d better watch some videos in advance.
Looking forward to your active participation.

Papa always wanted a cowboy to help on our farm.When I was born,he probably took one look at me and said,“Send her back!”OK,so I overstate a little.But I know he wishes I were a boy.He’s always calling me “Joey”instead of “Josefina”.I’ve been riding in barrel races since about the time I started walking.But whenever I ask to help herd(放牧) the cows here on the farm,Papa always says,“That’s men’s work.”
On Saturday morning it rained cats and dogs.I flew into the kitchen when I smelled the delicious pork sausage.Papa had already finished eating and was putting on his rubber boots.Without a word,Papa walked out into the downpour and his face fell.“Is Papa mad at me ”I asked Mama,who sat at the table drinking coffee.After filling my plate with eggs and sausage,I sat down beside her.
“Your father is worried about the cows,”Mama explained.“Unless he can drive them to high ground,they might drown.He needs help.”“I’m pretty good on horses,”I reminded her between bites.“I’ve got several cups to prove it.”She laughed,“You know how Papa feels about young ladies driving cattle.”
I did,but I decided to make an offer anyway.When he came to the stable(马厩),I was there waiting.“I could help if you’d only let me,”I told him.He stood there for what seemed like an hour,and then said,“Go get your raincoat,Joey.”
“It’s Josefina!”I raced back into the house.Walking in my wide-brimmed hat and high-topped boots,I felt like a cowgirl.
Fully equipped,Papa and I set off in the heavy rain.Papa rode on a big horse named Miguel and I on my small horse Isabella.We began calling the cows as soon as we reached the side of the river.Our horses made a noise every now and then as muddy water from the flooded stream tickled(使发痒) their bellies.
Finally,we found the cows bunched up in a large bush.
By the time we got back home,the rain had mostly given way to darkness.

Finally,we found the cows bunched up in a large bush.Papa and I rode back and forth behind them,yelling to drive them out of the bush.At last we got the cows out of the bush and herded them along a muddy road towards high ground.As Isabella waded across a deep stream,I felt cold water creeping into my boots and due to the heavy rain,I was nearly soaked to the skin.Grinning,Papa said,“A true cowboy is tough,Joey,”“Cowgirl,”I murmured.Finally,we succeeded in getting the cows to high ground,which took us all day.
By the time we got back home,the rain had mostly given way to darkness.We got off the horses and led them into the stable.After changing into dry clothes,we went to the stable again.Papa brushed the horses while I fed them.Papa said,“You’re a good cowboy,Joey.”“Cowboy Joey ”I asked.Laughing,Papa picked me up.“My little cowgirl,Josefina,I’m so proud of you!”A big smile spread over my face and I knew Papa really does love me,even though I’m not a cowboy.
