26、The Magic Kingdom was the first theme park at Walt Disney World. All Disney World theme parks are open 365 days a year, although opening time or closing time for each park is different. If you are travelling without kids, try to visit it on a school day to avoid large crowds on weekends or during a school vacation. If you have to visit it during a school vacation, try at least to avoid the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day.

If you are not staying at a Disney World hotel, avoid visiting the Magic Kingdom on its Extra Magic Hours days. This is because Disney’s hotel guests can get into the park first on those days, which can prolong the wait of other visitors, even if they arrive at the Magic Kingdom’s normal opening time.

Buy your Walt Disney World tickets online at Disney World’s website. For advice on picking the right ticket, see the guide to Disney World tickets.

You will also need to call in advance to make lunch or dinner reservations (预订). Disney accepts reservations, through 1-407-WDW-DINE, up to 180 days in advance. Time does go quickly, so you should call six months before your trip to make lunch or dinner reservations in the castle. We recommend you should have your meals at Cinderella’s Royal Table.

Plan to arrive at the Magic Kingdom’s front gate before the park opens in the morning. You can check the Magic Kingdom’s opening time through the Disney World’s website.

Keep in mind that to reach the Magic Kingdom, you must park at the Disney World’s Transport and Ticket Centre parking lot, ride in a tram (有轨电车) to the TTC, then take a boat across the Seven Seas Lagoon to the Magic Kingdom. It makes for a dramatic approach, but takes extra time. Give yourself an extra hour in the summer!

【1】This passage is written to 　　　.

A．compare the theme parks at Walt Disney World

【3】The writer suggests we avoid visiting the Magic Kingdom on its Extra Magic Hours days because 　　　.

A．it is too crowded on those days

B．it’s not open to everyone on those days

C．you may have to wait a long time to get in

D．the tickets to the park cost much more on those days

【4】From the passage we know that through 1-407-WDW-DINE, people can .

A．buy tickets to the Magic Kingdom

B．make reservations for meals in the park

D．make reservations for hotels near the park

27、   We talk continuously about how to make children more “resilient (有恢复力的)”, but whatever we’re doing, it’s notworking. Rates of anxiety disorders and depression are rising rapidly among teenagers. What are we doing wrong?

Nassim Taleb invented the word “antifragile” and used it to describe a small but very important class of systems that gain from shocks, challenges, and disorder. The immune (免疫的) system is one of them: it requires exposure to certain kinds of bacteria and potential allergens (过敏原) in childhood in order to develop to its full ability.

Children’s social and emotional abilities are as antifragile as their immune systems. If we overprotect kids and keep them “safe” from unpleasant social situations and negative emotions, we deprive (剥夺) them of the challenges and opportunities for skill-building they need to grow strong. Such children are likely to suffer more when exposed later to other unpleasant but ordinary life events, such as teasing and social rejection.

It’s not the kids’ fault. In the UK, as in the US, parents became much more fearful in the 1980s and 1990s as cable TV and later the Internet exposed everyone, more and more, to those rare occurrences of crimes and accidents that now occur less and less. Outdoor play and independent mobility went down; screen time and adult-monitored activities went up.

Yet free play in which kids work out their own rules of engagement, take small risks, and learn to master small dangers turns out to be vital for the development of adult social and even physical competence. Depriving them of free play prevents their social-emotional growth. Norwegian play researchers Ellen Sandseter warned: “We may observe an increased anxiety or mental disorders in society if children are forbidden from participating in age adequate risky play.”

They wrote those words in 2011. Over the following few years, their prediction came true. Kids born after 1994 are suffering from much higher rates of anxiety disorders and depression than did the previous generation.

What can we do to change these trends? We can’t guarantee that giving primary school children more independence today will bring down the rate of teenage suicide tomorrow. The links between childhood overprotection and teenage mental illness are suggestive but not clear-cut. Yet there are good reasons to suspect that by depriving our naturally antifragile kids of the wide range of experiences they need to become strong, we are systematically preventing their growth. We should let go—and let them grow.

【1】Why does the author mention the immune system in Paragraph 2?

A.To stress its importance. B.To analyze the cause of anxiety.

C.To question the latest discovery. D.To help understand a new word.

【2】Parents overprotect children because ________.

A.they are concerned about their children’s safety

B.they want to keep children from being teased

C.parent-monitored activities are a must

D.children are not independent enough

【3】According to the author, free play can ________.

A.promote children’s resilience

B.strengthen children’s friendship

C.reduce children’s risky behavior

D.develop children’s leadership skills

【4】Which of the following does the author probably agree with?

A.Stop trying to perfect your child.

B.It takes great courage to raise children.

C.Prepare the child for the road, not the road for the child.

D.The more exposed the children are to the risks, the more resilient they would become.

28、A good book is indeed the best friend of a person.The same goes for high—profile CEOs of world recognized companies as well.Let's have a look at the favorite books of some of the world-famous CEOs.

Apple CEO—Tim Cook,Competing against Time by George Stalk Jr.and Thomas M.Hout

This book is based on 10 years of valuable research done by the authors.It talks about how new concepts of managing time in new product development,production and sales provide companies with the advantages to succeed in this highly competitive world.

Microsoft CEO(Former)—Bill Gates,The Catcher in the Rye by J.D.Salinger

A few themes explored in the novel are rebellion（叛逆）,anxiety and confusion.It admits that young people are a little confused,but can be smart about things and see things that adults don't really see.Gates said,"I didn't actually read The Catcher in the Rye until I was 13,and ever since then I've said that's my favorite book."

Oracle CEO—Larry Ellison,Napoleon by Vincent Cronin

This book is considered by far the best biography ever written on Napoleon Bonaparte.Ellison said,"It's interesting to read about him for a couple of reasons: to see what an ordinary man can do with his life and to see how history can distort（歪曲）the truth entirely."

OWE CEO—Oprah Winfrey,To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

This book talks about how a little girl observes the people around her.Winfrey said,"I read it in eighth or ninth grade,and I was trying to persuade other kids to read the book.So it makes sense to me that now I have a book club, because I have been doing that probably since I read this book."

A. Time efficiency.   B. Product development.

C. Apple company.   D. Sales concepts.

29、Pain is usually connected to a nervous system. When you put your hand too close to a hot stove, nerve cells send a warning of danger to your brain. 【1】 That, in turn, causes you to pull your hand away before any serious damage is done. Plants don't have nerves or brains, so they can’t feel pain like you do. 【2】 And since they can't escape a potentially dangerous situation, they need other ways of fighting back.

【3】 Some plants discourage plant-eaters from chewing on them by growing thorns or sharp little hairs, like a rose or a cactus does. Other plants produce bad-tasting or even toxic chemicals. These force potential attackers to abandon their meals.

But a plant called bittersweet nightshade does something even more smartly. When a slug, a small creature, chews holes in a nightshade’s leaf, a kind of sweet juice begins dripping out of the edges of the wound, almost as if the plant were bleeding. 【4】 In order to collect the juice, the ants gather all over the injured nightshade plant and attack anything that stands in their way—including the slug that damaged the plant in the first place. In short: Slug attacks plant; plant calls army of ants to come closer to kill slug. 【5】

Plants may look like passive victims. But they have armies of cold-blooded killers always ready to obey their orders.

A．Your brain recognizes that signal as pain

B．The biggest threat to a plant's life is getting eaten.

C．This sweet juice successfully drives the slug away.

D．Your brain is definitely a complex nervous system

E．The sweet juice happens to be a favorite food of ants

F．But plants definitely do recognize when something is hurting them.

G．Thus, the plant can help itself by calling the enemies of its own enemies.

31、Directions：Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Cure isn’t a word normally used in the 【1】 of AIDS. For most of the 35 years since HIV, the virus responsible for the disease, was first identified, doctors have viewed the notion of a cure as more 【2】 than fact.

That’s because HIV is a virus unlike any other. It disables the very immune cells that are 【3】 to destroy it, carrying out the ultimate deadly ambush（埋伏）whenever the guard of immune 【4】 comes down, months or sometimes even years later.

Yet for the first time in the HIV epidemic that 【5】 affects nearly 37 million people worldwide, some experts are starting to aim for a cure cautiously. The National Institutes of Health（NIH）is funding HIV cure efforts and advocacy groups like amfAR are also 【6】 resources into not just treating HIV, but also finding ways to eliminate it completely.

“Absolutely HIV can be cured,”says Rowena Johnston, vice president and director of research for amfAR.“The question is how.”

Doctors today have no trouble keeping HIV under control in people who are infected, thanks to antiretroviral（ARV）drugs, which stop the virus from replicating（复制）. If it is not making more copies of itself. HIV cannot spread to infect new cells. That can 【7】 into healthier, longer lives for people who are HIV-positive.

Powerful as the current drug treatments are, they can’t actually 【8】 the body of infected cells. For self-preservation, some HIV lies latent（潜伏性的）inside certain immune cells. These are the viruses that come coaring back when people stop taking their medications.

But the latest report this month revealed the strongest evidence that these latent viruses can be activated and eliminated, at least in animals. Dr. Dan Barouch and his colleagues showed that a drug that stimulates the immune system, 【9】 with a powerful antibody, prevented HIV from roaring back in five of 11 animals, six months after they stopped taking ARVs.“I think our data raises the 【10】 that an intervention achieving a functional cure is possible,”says Barouch.
