21、Given the crowds of visitors and many attractions at the Disney parks, it's easy to get lost. Thankfully, you will always find a worker to point you in the right direction. When you do, you just might start to notice something unique about their body language—and it's just one of the many secrets Disney employees won't tell you.

Cast members, as park employees are called, are taught in their training to always point with two fingers instead of one. The first reason for this is that pointing with just the one index finger(食指), as most Americans do, is considered impolite in some cultures and countries. The Disney parks have always attracted many international visitors, so the friendlier two-finger gesture became the norm among employees, in an effort to be sensitive and welcoming to every person. Employees have even affectionately named it "the Disney point”. Michaela Paris, a former Disney employee, said the Disney point is a sign of respect.

"Disney receives plenty of foreign travelers to their parks. The typical single finger point is a symbol of disrespect and has a negative(负面的) meaning in many cultures. Therefore, Disney created 'the Disney point' to accommodate all of their guests, " Paris said.

Other sources say this way of pointing is related to Disney himself. According to the Huffington Post, it's actually how Walt Disney himself used to point things out to visitors, because he usually had a cigarette balanced between the two fingers. You won't find cast members today smoking a cigarette—there's no smoking allowed for anyone, employees or guests, once you are inside the entrances at Disney parks—but the tradition of pointing with two fingers still stands.

Keep an eye out for the statue of Walt and Mickey doing "the Disney point" next time you're at Disney World. Meanwhile don't miss other such rules that all Disney employees must follow.

【1】When will a visitor probably notice "the Disney point"?

A．When asking the way.

B．When entering the park.

C．When greeting foreigners.

D．When smoking a cigarette.

【2】What does “the Disney point” refer to?

A．A gesture.

B．An employee.

C．A park.

D．A statue.

【3】What does the underlined word "accommodate" in paragraph 3 mean?

A．offer space to.

B．put up.

C．provide food for.

D．adapt to.

【4】What is paragraph 4 mainly about?

A．Rules to follow in the park.

B．The life story of Walt Disney.

C．Some attractions at Disney World.

D．A possible origin of “the Disney point”.

23、Bottlenose dolphins simplify and raise the pitch of their whistles to be heard above underwater shipping noise, Christopher Intagliata reports.

The oceans are getting louder. And coastal areas are some of the noisiest, as in this underwater recording, captured 17 miles off the coast of Ocean City, Maryland.

The noise could be a problem for marine mammals, which, like us, use sound to communicate. “Just like if we’re in a noisy bar, we have to shout to each other. And they might have to do that too.” Helen Bailey is a marine biologist at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science.

She and her colleagues recorded two months of underwater sounds, in that same area off the coast of Maryland. They used an automated software to fish out 200 bottlenose dolphin whistles from the noise, and visually compared the spectrograms (声谱图). Here’s a normal whistle.

But what they found was that dolphins dumbed down the complexity of their whistles and raised their pitch, when they were competing with shipping noise, which apparently helps, but could also hurt, their ability to communicate.

“By using simpler calls, yes, there is a risk they’re not communicating as much information as they would if it was quieter. Also for younger dolphins they actually learn these sounds from hearing other dolphins. So they’re hearing this much simpler language.”

The results and a few of those spectrograms are in the journal Biology Letters. [Leila Fouda et al., dolphins simplify their vocal calls in response to increased noise]

The survey site is the proposed future home of a wind farm—which could mean lots of noise as the huge towers are installed. Until then, it’s the chronic roar of ships and boats that Bailey wants people to think about carefully. “I think people think about boats in terms of the emissions, just like with cars. And I think what we need to think about is that sound is also an emission.”

【1】When will the bottlenose dolphins raise their tune according to the text?

A．When they want to catch more fish in the sea.

B．When they have to compete with ship noise.

C．When they want to sing loud songs with others.

D．When they feel angry with the ships.

【2】What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A．Marine mammals.

B．The dolphins.

C．Human beings.

D．Sea animals.

【3】What will happen to the bottlenose dolphins if the situation continues?

A．More and more bottlenose dolphins will love to make loud noise.

B．People will lose the bottlenose dolphins forever.

C．They will have to make long journeys in the ocean.

D．They will lose the ability to convey complex information.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．How To Protect The Marine Mammals—Bottlenose Dolphins

B．Bottlenose Dolphins Raise The Tune To Help The Wind Farm

C．Bottlenose Dolphins Raise The Tune To Communicate With Ships

D．Bottlenose Dolphins Make Easy Calls Above Under Ship Noise

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

How Supermarkets Are Changing Britain

The British love their supermarkets. And there are more and more of them every year. But is this a good thing?

Not necessarily. For a start, many small shops can’t compete on price with superstores such  as Tesco. And they don’t have as many products either. As a result, 36% of the UK’s small shops shut down between 1990 and 1996 while the number of supermarkets increased from 457 to 1,102. Supermarkets have even had a negative effect on the British pub. Beer and wine is much cheaper in a supermarket than in a pub. There are now over 55,000 supermarkets in the UK, but less than 55,000 pubs. A decade ago there were more than 61,000. These days, pubs are closing at the rate of 39 a week!

Supermarkets are also bad for animal welfare. The UK has high standards in this field, but some supermarkets get their meat from abroad. And in many cases, this meat is produced under conditions that would be illegal in the UK. But once they’ve got the meat, supermarkets put a British flag on the product as the meat is packed there. Dishonest? Not exactly, but it isn’t entirely true either!

Supermarkets have a poor environmental record too. Many of them don’t store food products themselves as storage space is expensive, so they get food producers to do it for them. This means that supermarket lorries have to make more trips to collect supplies. In turn, this increases the amount of petrol used, which leads to more pollution. Supermarkets also use a lot of plastic packaging, which isn’t good for the environment either.

So, what can be done to help the “little guys”? Not much really. Supermarkets have a lot of power. Many political parties receive donations from supermarkets. And supermarkets often use their money to influence decisions. For example, just before the year 2000, one supermarket gave the government £12 million to help build the Millennium Dome in London. Later, plans to tax supermarket car parks were dropped.
