21、Walt Disney World is banning selfie-sticks from its theme parks because selfie-sticks have become a growing safety concern for both our guests and cast," Disney World spokeswoman Kim Prunty said.
Under a new policy, which takes effect Tuesday, the poles won’t make it past the bag check at any Disney World theme park. The sticks also won't be allowed in Disney World water parks or Disney Quest, a gaming attraction at Downtown Disney. Selfie-sticks will also become forbidden at Disneyland Resort in California on June 30. The prohibition begins at Disney's parks in Paris and Hong Kong on July 1.
Guests will be checked for the equipment during the routine bag check that happens near the parks' entrances. They will have an option of turning in their selfie-sticks for pick-up later or to go back to their cars or hotel rooms to keep them. Visitors will be told of the policy in locations such as the parking lots and at the resort's hotels. The prohibition will be added to the park rules post on Disney World's website.
The issue has been building at Disney. Previously, the sticks were prohibited from its rides, and "no selfie-sticks" signs were at select rides, such as Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Magic Kingdom. Cast members have given oral warnings to rule breakers.
Selfie-stick users put smartphones and cameras on the ends of poles to extend their reach, frequently capturing theme-park moments through self-portraits. The tools have been banned in public places — including some museums and stadiums — worldwide for obstructing views or causing safety issues.
Disney World already prohibits items such as skateboards, inline skates, wagon, folding chairs and glass containers, according to its official website, which also lists “other items that we determine may be harmful.”
Universal Orlando has banned selfie-sticks and other loose items from certain thrill rides at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure theme parks, but it has not set park wide bans.
【1】Which of the following objects has already been banned in Disney theme parks before the new policy takes effect?
A. smart phones B. folding chairs
C. cameras D. containers
【2】According to the ban, if the guests are found carrying selfie-sticks during the routine bagcheck, they may __________.
A. abandon them at the bag check
B. get fined and pick them up later
C. turn them in to the police
D. put them in the trunk of their cars
【3】The underlined word in the fifth paragraph probably means __________.
A. changing B. broadening C. blocking D. narrowing
【4】According to the passage, it can be inferred that __________.
A. the ban on the use of selfie-sticks is aimed at ensuring security
B. previously guests can take photos with selfie-sticks on thrill rides
C. the staff in Disneyland will inform visitors of the ban only orally
D. Universal Orlando has banned selfie-sticks parkwide
22、 Do you have a spare room in your house? Do you like to share your driveway in front of your garage with others? 【1】 Many people are benefiting from this new business of renting.
Perhaps the best-known example of a company in this field is Airbnb―an American Web business which allows you to rent out your spare room to holidaymakers. It says it operates in 34,000 cities and it has 800,000 listings of rooms and apartments. 【2】
A British company is doing something with parking spaces. JustPark's founder, Anthony Eskinazi, says, “When I had the original idea, I spotted a driveway close to a sports stadium. It would have been so convenient if I could have just parked in that driveway rather than in a commercial car park.” 【3】 Around 20, 000 people have advertised their spaces on the website and he says around half a million drivers use it. 【4】 They are people who run things like traditional hotels and commercial car parks. They are afraid of ending up losing money.
And there is another problem. Regulations for the new business are still unclear. 【5】 Because this is a new business world, those rules about appropriate manners aren't there yet.
A.And his great idea has proved a success.
B.Both of these can help you make money.
C.A rewarding thing is that you get to meet interesting guests.
D.They seem to have occupied the majority of the market.
E.How will renting out your driveway affect your neighbours?
F.But the new business of renting does have its competitors.
G.Share your driveway with people looking for parking in your area.
23、Across Britain，burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters rush to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers．But，according to a new study，we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year．
Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work．Now，the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours，they would earn as much as￡172，000 a year．
The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do，as well as the hours they are working，to determine the figure．This would make their yearly income￡30，000 more than the Prime Minister earns．
By analysing the numbers，it found the average mother works 119 hours a week，40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate and 79 hours as overtime．After questioning 1，000 mothers with children under 18，it found that，on most days，mums started their routine work at 7 am and finished at around 11 pm．
To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour，it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on，including housekeeper，part-time lawyer，personal trainer and entertainer．Being a part-time lawyer，at￡48．98 an hour，would prove to be the most profitable of the“mum jobs”，with psychologist(心理学家)a close second．
It also asked mothers about the challenges they face，with 80 percent making emotional(情感的)demand as the hardest thing about motherhood．
Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends．
The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother’s Day．The emotional，physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending，but children are also sources of great joy and happiness．Investing(投入)in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent．
【1】How much does a Prime Minister earn，according to the passage?
A．￡30，000． B．￡142，000．
C．￡172，000． D．￡202，000．
【2】The biggest challenge for most mothers is from_____．
A．emotional demand B．1ow pay for work
C．heavy workload D．1ack of training
【3】What is stressed in the last paragraph?
A．Mothers’importance shows in family all year long．
B．The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile．
C．Mothers’devotion to children can hardly be calculated．
D．Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return．
【4】What can we conclude from the study?
A．Mothers’working hours should be largely reduced．
B．Mothers should balance their time for work and rest．
C．Mothers’labour is of a higher value than it is realized．
D．Mothers should be freed from housework for social life．
24、 In India，one of the most significant festivals is Diwali，which falls between October and November. It’s a five-day celebration that includes good food，fireworks，colored sand，and special candles and lamps.
In honor of Lakshmi，the Hindu goddess of wealth，people make special prayers on the first day to obtain blessings for welfare，succcss，and well-being. People welcome the goddess into their homes by decorating entrances with colorful lanterns and traditional designs. In addition，many people treat themselves to fine jewelry，praying for good fortune. Those who cannot afford so much，seek out cheaper items such as clothes or household goods.
The second day of the festival is called Kali Chaudas. For some，the day provides an opportunity to drive away misfortune from homes and businesses. They decorate their homes with clay lamps and create design patterns called rangoli on the floor using colored powder or sand.
The third day is when the biggest celebrations occur，which begin early in the morning with a visit to a temple to seek the blessings of the goddess. As the sun sets，festival observers light up their homes with small lamps and enjoy delicious traditional foods with their loved ones.
The festival’s fourth day is celebrated in many different ways. Friends and relatives visit with gifts，sweets and best wishes for the season.
And the final day of the festival is called Bhai Oooj. It honors the close bond between brothers and sisters and is observed with traditional ceremonies and more delicious food.
For children in India，Diwali is similar to Christmas. They get all entire week off from school and are treated to gifts，new clothes，amazing food，and，in the past at least，a large number of fireworks. It is no wonder that the festival ranks high among the country’s favorite celebrations.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I have taught Spanish to thousands of students over my 36 years at Walpole High School in Walpole, Massachusetts. My students have ranged from the most academically gifted to the academically at-risk. There is one young man, however, who in the course of his high school career surpassed everyone’s expectations. His name is Vincent Lee.
Vincent entered my classroom as a nervous freshman on his first day of high school. He was enrolled in our Spanish course, a transition course for students who underperformed in Spanish I. In fact, Vincent had not had a lot of success in Spanish in middle school. His eighth grade teacher had described him as that “sad, introverted (内向的) boy in the last row who always kept his head down.”
Vincent often went to class unprepared and couldn’t see the point of learning another language. And yet there were other reasons to explain this lack of motivation. Vincent was dealing with a lot of turmoil (混乱) in his life: the recent divorce of his parents, moving from a house to an apartment and much greater responsibility at home for helping his mom take care of his younger twin brothers.
From the very start of my course, I sensed an attitude that separated Vincent from his peers. He entered class each day, took his seat quietly and took out what he needed for the lesson. At first, he was somewhat shy about answering questions in Spanish, but as the course progressed, I was able to engage him in conversations about his family, his interests and his passions.
With time going by, Vincent became more willing to volunteer and even ask me questions. He seemed fascinated by the fact that my parents were from Costa Rica and that I was fluent in both English and Spanish. When he once asked how long it takes to become fluent in another language, I explained that it takes many years and that the first sign that a person has adopted the language as his own is when one dreams in that language.
注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150词左右；
2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；
3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。
Clearly, Vincent was beginning to view himself as a real student.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
By the end of the year, Vincent had achieved a high level of proficiency.
