12、Walt Disney World Base TicketStart with your base ticket-Magic Your Way Base Ticket-and add on options if you need them.You decide how many days you want to visit the four Disney World theme parks-the Magic Kingdom, Disneys MGM Studios, Animal Kingdom, and EPCOT. Magic Your Way Base Tickets are avai
13、lable from 1 to 10 days. The more days you pay for, the cheaper the per-day cost gets.Disney Ticket No-Expiration OptionEvery Base Ticket expires(到期) 14 days after you first use it. You can add the no-expiration option to your Base Ticket so that your unused days never expire.Disney Water Park Fun a
14、nd MoreThe Base Ticket only covers admission to the 4 theme parks. If you want to visit Blizzard Beach, Typhoon Lagoon, Disneys Wide World of Sports, or Disney Quest you need another Disney ticket or you can add on the Water Park Fun and More option to your Base Ticket. The amount of visits to the W
15、ater Park or Disney Quest depends on the number of days on your Base Ticket. So a 2-Day Ticket with Water Park Fun and More will give you 2 visits to the Water Parks; a 4-Day will give you 4 visits and so on.Disney Park Hopper TicketThe Base Ticket allows you to visit one Disney park each day. The D
16、isney Park Hopper option lets you move from one park to another on the same day. So if you started in Animal Kingdom you could move to Magic Kingdom or one of the other theme parks on the same day.The cost for this option is $ 53.25 per ticket regardless of the number of days you have on your Base T
17、icket. So it may be a good option for a 10-day ticket but not so great for a 2-day. It does take time to transfer(移动)between parks-Disney World is huge-so work out whether this is going to be the way your family want to visit.21. Which would you purchase if you wanted your Base Ticket to be availabl
18、e within a year?A. Disney Ticket No-Expiration Option. B. Magic Your Way Base Ticket.C. Disney Park Hopper Ticket. D. Disney Water Park Fun and More.22. What is the purpose of adding Disney Park Hopper option to the Base Ticket?A. To visit the Disney Water Park. B. To visit one theme park per day.C.
19、 To visit more than one theme park per day. D. To visit the theme parks all the year around.23. Where would you probably find this passage?A. On a factory website. B. In a travel brochure.C. On a school notice board. D. In a fashion publication.BUniversity of Arizona architecture students won the fi
20、rst place in a national competition for a project that reimagines the way buildings store energy for cooling.Being able to be recognized for your passion and having people tell you that what youre doing is really important are inspiring, said Franzen, one of the team members.The Arizona architecture
21、 students designed one component of a larger project called SunBlock, which rethinks the traditional configuration(结构)of district energy systems that are used to heat or cool collections of buildings.District energy systems typically involve one central plant that creates heated or cooled water, the
22、n pumps it around to the other buildings within the district. The buildings take that water and pass it through an air handling unit. Air is then passed over the water to heat or cool the building.The SunBlock concept, designed specifically for the Sonoran Desert, focuses on cooling. The main way it
23、 is different from a traditional district energy system is that each SunBlock building would have its own solar-powered system that cools the water, rather than one central building doing it all.Because the buildings are built so efficiently, the cooling system would provide more cold water than nee
24、ded. The extra water could be stored in underground tanks and shared with existing and less efficient buildings throughout the neighborhood.The project addresses sustainability(可持续性) from a number of angles: The buildings electricity is provided with solar power; the system does not use traditional
25、air conditioning systems that use refrigerants(制冷剂), which are polluters; and the underground water tanks can also collect rainwater for irrigation.Im optimistic that SunBlock will someday be more than a first-place project. We will do our best to help future groups of students who move SunBlock for
26、ward and bring it closer to reality, said Franzen. We just have to get more people on board.24. How is the SunBlock concept different from a traditional district energy system?A. Cold water cooling the air. B. Less cold water for buildings.C. One cooling system for one building. D. One central build
27、ing for all buildings.25. From Paragraph 7, we can learn that SunBlock buildings are .A. cheap to build B. environmentally friendlyC. easy to manage D. convenient for irrigation26. What did Franzen say about SunBlock?A. It could be put into use now. B. It needed more people to improve it.C. It shoul
28、d be introduced to more people. D. It couldnt be considered a first-place project.27. What is the best title for the text?A. Storing Solar Energy for Buildings B. Keeping Buildings Cool with Cold WaterC. Changing the Way Buildings are Built D. Rethinking I-low Buildings Are CooledCImagine meeting so
29、meone for the first time who comes from a distant country but is fluent in your language. Would you adapt the tone of your voice, or the spacing of pauses in your speech? How about adjusting your body language and facial expressions, depending on the background of the person in front of you?These ar
30、e just a handful of the shifts in behaviour that can contribute to what is known as your cultural intelligence, or CQ.The number one predictor of your success in todays borderless world is not your IQ, or not even your expertise(专长), writes social, scientist David Livermore in his book The Cultural
31、Intelligence Difference. Its your CQ.Typically CQ is measured through a series of questions that assess four distinct components. The first is CQ Drive-the motivation to learn about other cultures. Then there is CO Knowledge, which is an understanding of some of the general cultural differences you
32、may face. CQ Strategy examines how you make sense of those difficult conflicts and learn from them, while CQ Action involves your behavioural flexibility-whether you are able to adapt your conduct like a cultural chameleon.While understanding a specific culture can be useful, it may not predict at a
33、ll your ability to engage effectively in a new place, says Livermore. In fact, our research finds that individuals who have lived in multiple locations for extended time are more likely to have higher CQ Knowledge than those who have lived multiple decades in one overseas setting.Someone with low CO
34、 might have a tendency to judge everyone elses behaviour by his own cultural standards. If he comes from a more sociable environment, for instance, and notices that his Japanese colleagues are very quiet in a meeting, he may assume that they are being unfriendly or bored. A person at the top of the
35、scale(级别), meanwhile, might realise that silence is a sign of respect and that feedback(反馈)wont be given unless it is explicitly required. As a result, hell make sure to offer suitable opportunities within the meeting for others to provide their opinions.28. Which of the following best describes a c
36、ultural chameleon?A. Learning from other cultures to have a high CQ.B. Taking action to overcome the communication barrier.C. Getting along well with others despite cultural differences.D. Changing behaviour according to the cultural background.29. What is the best way to get high CQ Knowledge?A. Ex
37、periencing a variety of different cultures. B. Spending a long time in a specific culture.C. Meeting people from a distant country. D. Having personal experience in another culture.30. What kind of people do the Japanese colleagues represent?A. People with low CO. B. People with high CQ.C. People fr
38、om a different culture. D. People from a sociable environment.31. Whom is the text mainly intended for?A. Those who are going to be a social scientist.B. Those who want to learn about CQ Knowledge.C. Those who conduct some research on CQ and IQ.D. Those who interact with people from different cultur
39、es.DSitting up straight in your chair isnt just good for your posture(姿势)-it also gives you more confidence in your own thoughts, according to a new study.Our body posture can affect not only what others think about us, but also how we think about ourselves, said Richard Petty, co-author of the stud
40、y.The study included 71 students at Ohio State. They were told they would take part in two separate studies at the same time, one organized by the business school and one by the arts school.They were told the arts study was examining factors contributing to peoples acting abilities, in this case, th
41、e ability to maintain a specific posture while engaging in other activities. They were instructed to either sit up straight or sit slouched(无精打采)forward.While in one of these positions, the students participated in the business study, which supposedly examined factors contributing to professional pe
42、rformance. While holding their posture, they listed either three positive or three negative personal traits(特质)relating to future professional performance on the job. After completing this task, they took a survey in which they rated themselves on how well they would do as a future professional empl
43、oyee.The results were striking.Students who held the upright, confident posture were much more likely to rate themselves in line with the positive or negative traits they wrote down. In other words, if they wrote positive traits about themselves, they rated themselves more highly, and if they wrote
44、negative traits about themselves, they rated themselves lower.However, students who assumed the slouched, less confident posture, didnt seem convinced by their own thoughts-their ratings didnt differ much regardless of whether they wrote positive or negative things about themselves.Their confident,
45、upright posture gave them more confidence in their own thoughts, whether they were positive or negative, Petty said.Sitting up straight is something you can train yourself to do, and it has psychological benefits-as long as you generally have positive thoughts, he said.32. When did the business stud
46、y take place?A. When the students took the survey. B. When the arts study was going on.C. After the arts study was conducted. D. After the students took the survey.33. Which can be included in the underlined words other activities in Paragraph 4?A. Sitting up straight. B. Working as an employee.C. L
47、isting personal traits. D. Participating in the arts study.34. What do we know about the ratings given by those who sat up straight?A. They were rather high.B. They were relatively low.C. They agreed with the written-down traits.D. They were different from the written-down traits.35. What can be the
48、 conclusion of the study?A. Body posture affects our confidence level.B. Confidence leads to good body posture.C. Body posture affects professional performance.D. Personal traits affect professional performance.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。Tracking Your LifeSometimes
