单选题 Being a dutiful father, Walt Disney used to take his small daughters to amusement parks, where he would wait patiently while they enjoyed the rides. As far as he was concerned, there was not {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}that was truly enjoyable about such places; the grounds were dirty, the material shabby, the parents bored. And so it is that, around 1934 or 35, the idea began to {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}in his mind {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}perhaps something could be done to bring more pleasure to children and adults {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}. It was a modest idea at first. When Disney brought it{{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}in the open in 1948 ,he was merely proposing a small amusement area {{U}} {{U}} 6 {{/U}} {{/U}}a corner of the Burbank lot—eleven acres all {{U}} {{U}} 7 {{/U}} {{/U}}. Even so, the plan was not modest enough for Roy, who vetoed it instantly, lecturing at {{U}} {{U}} 8 {{/U}} {{/U}}about loans, debts, and extravagant dreams. Walter kept dreaming, nonetheless, and adding to his first concept. There should be more {{U}} {{U}} 9 {{/U}} {{/U}}rides and merry-go-rounds, he thought; it would be nice to have shops for the parents, soda fountains and theaters for all, a horse-drawn street car, plenty of things to do and see. {{U}} {{U}} 10 {{/U}} {{/U}}he went, either in the United States or {{U}} {{U}} 11 {{/U}} {{/U}}, he visited parks, county fairs, circuses, carnivals, open air attractions of all kinds—and, {{U}} {{U}} 12 {{/U}} {{/U}}all, zoos. {{U}} {{U}} 13 {{/U}} {{/U}}, Lilly announced that she would not travel with him {{U}} {{U}} 14 {{/U}} {{/U}}more if it was to visit another zoo. Most of the places that he saw looked dirty and sad {{U}} {{U}} 15 {{/U}} {{/U}}Disney. The only amusement park that {{U}} {{U}} 16 {{/U}} {{/U}}his approval was Copenhagen's Tivoli Gardens, because they were clean and cheerful, with friendly attendants and brightly painted attractions. The more he thought about his {{U}} {{U}} 17 {{/U}} {{/U}}, the more enthusiastic Disney felt about it. Although he was not {{U}} {{U}} 18 {{/U}} {{/U}}to the business side of such a venture, the park {{U}} {{U}} 19 {{/U}} {{/U}}more than a moneymaking device for him. He ;vas envisioning it as "a place for people to find happiness and knowledge... a place for parents and children to {{U}} {{U}} 20 {{/U}} {{/U}}pleasant times in one another's company; a place for teachers and pupils to discover greater ways of understanding and education."

单选题During the second half of 1776, the British had driven Washington's armies from their strongholds in and near New York City. Washington retreated, moving southeast across New Jersey. Before his army reached the shores of the Delaware, he sent soldiers ahead to bring together all the boats they could find. When the British arrived at the east bank early in December, the Colonials were safely across. And the British could find only two small boats on a pond. For the time being, the British gave up the chase. They set up camp at Trenton and at other strongholds along the Delaware. Washington had the boats on the Pennsylvania side, but that was about all he had. Food was short, and many soldiers were too iii to march. And any day now, the river might freeze, making it possible for the British force to cross into Pennsylvania. If the struggle for freedom was to continue, Washington had to have a victory. Finally he decided to re-cross the Delaware at Mckonkey's Ferry. That was nine miles up river from Trenton. Washington's plan was to cross under cover of darkness on Christmas night and attack the 2,000 to 3,000 British soldiers in Trenton. The general expected that the enemy force would still be celebrating the holiday. On the evening of December 25, Washington gave the orders to cross. It was sleeting snowing, and the river was filled with floating ice. Finally, his force of more than 2,000 men was on the Jersey side. It was after 2 a.m.. In a battle that lasted less than two hours, they defeated the enemy force. Washington had the victory he needed.

单选题{{B}}Part A{{/B}} Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing [A], [B], [C] or [D] . Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.{{B}}Text 1{{/B}} Taking a nap is frowned upon by many people and is viewed as fondness for the elderly and children. Mention nap and you could be seen as lazy, depressed and unwilling to work. However, taking a nap is one of the best but most underused tools for busy people to ease weariness. The majority of people experience drowsiness in the afternoon and notice their work efficiency and mood starting to slip and taking a nap will help combat this. The results of research suggest that taking a nap can make you more alert, reduce stress and improve cognitive function compared to those who working all day without rest. A mid-afternoon nap means that productivity can last long into the night. Researchers at NASA found that a 30- minute full nap increased cognitive function by 40%. The volunteers on the tests found that their memory improved as well as experiencing an increase in concentration. Those who didn't nap would score lower on IQ test than those who did (after a day of work). If you feel tired in the afternoon and from then on can't perform at your best, t recommend taking a short power nap to get yourself feel alert and ready for work. You will notice your mood and alertness to be improved. ! advise keeping the nap between 15 and 30 minutes if you want to avoid getting into deeper stages of sleep. If you do, you'll find it harder to wake and may experience the unstable feeling for a while. For those who are worried about the after-affect of a nap, there is the caffeine nap. A caffeine nap is taken after an intake of caffeine, so that you are asleep while your body digests the caffeine. After a 15 -30 minutes nap, you wake up and have the caffeine in your system. This is great if you need to be instantly on the move after a nap, and you can bounce out of your sleeping state and jump into refreshed Work feeling. Finding 15 -30 minutes to take a nap in a day sometimes seems difficult, but doing so is very helpful to your productivity. Even 10 minutes of a nap every day will be better than nothing at all, and may give you the energy you need to be successful. If you're willing to have a try, make sure you can find a comfortable place before setting your head down. If you can feel secure and let go, then your rest will be even more beneficial.

单选题{{B}}Passage 1{{/B}} There is one kind of pain for which nobody has yet found a cure--the pain that comes from the ending of a relationship. The relationship could be a marriage or a deep friendship. Such a relationship may come to a sudden end; or it may simply fade away slowly as people and circumstances change. You may be the one to "break it off', with a short note or a brief phone call. Or you may be on the receiving end. However it ended and whoever decided to end it, the pain is equally hard to bear and it requires the same time for grief. Although there is no cure for grief, we can not help looking for one, to ease the pain and to make us forget our tears. We keep ourselves busy with work, or we try to plunge ourselves into our hobbies. Perhaps we start to drink more than we should to "drown our sorrows", or we follow the conventional advice and join a club or society. But these things cannot cure it. Moreover, we are always in a hurry to get rid of our grief. We feel that we should try to convince ourselves, as we bite on the pillow, that we are much too old to be crying. Some people bury their grief deep inside themselves. Others seek relief by pouring their hearts out to their friends, or to anyone else who can offer a sympathetic shoulder to cry on. It is not easy to explain why we adopt these attitudes to emotional pain. Part of the answer must lie in the nature of grief itself. The important thing to admit about grief, then, is that it will take its time. By trying to convince ourselves that it ought to be over sooner, we create an additional tension which can only make things worse. How much time is needed will vary from person to person, but psychiatrists have a rule of thumb: grief will last as long as the original relationship lasted. The sad thing is that, when the breakdown occurs, we can only stumble forward over the stones beneath our feet. It is dark ahead, and we will fall painfully many times before we begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
