Dear Disney,

       Last weekend,the four members of my family spent an enjoyable holiday at the Magic Kingdom—Disneyland. And one event made our visit seem truly magical.

       We got to the front of the line at Space Mountain,only to find out that our little daughter Gloria couldn’t take her ice-cream on the ride. We were so excited that we all forgot ice-cream was not allowed on the ride.

       Gloria broke into tears and we all had no idea what to do. Then Murphy,one of the staff (員工) members,came over. She bent down and told Gloria that she would hold the ice-cream for、her and give it to her when she finished the ride. Gloria said ,“Promise?” Then she gave Murphy her ice-cream,and she completely enjoyed the ride. Sure enough,as we walked out the exit,there was Gloria's new friend with “her” ice-cream. Now you and I both know what happened,because we know that an ice-cream won5t last twenty minutes on a summer afternoon in Florida. Murphy knew what time we would get off the ride;she went to the nearest shop and bought a brand-new ice-cream thirty seconds before we walked out the exit. Gloria said ,“Thank you”’ but I'm sure she thought it was the same ice-cream.

       We know that someone tried hard to make our visit special. Thanks so much for going above and beyond!

                                                              Your fan,

                                                          Carmen Rivera

1. C 2. B 3. D 4. A 5. C

[解析]這篇短文是去迪斯尼樂園游玩的游客寫的一封感謝信。

1. C 根據(jù)文中 We got to the front of the line at Space Mountain,only to find out that our little daughter Gloria couldn’t take her ice-cream on the ride.可知,不能拿著冰淇淋去玩太空飛車,所以他們的小女兒哭了。故選C. 

2. B 根據(jù)文中... as we walked out the exit,there was Gloria's new friend with “her” ice-cream.當(dāng)我們走出出口,Gloria的新朋友拿著冰淇淋在等著 她。這里的新朋友指的就是Murphy ,迪斯尼的工作人員。故選B.

3. D 根據(jù)文中 Murphy knew what time we would get off the ride;she went to the nearest shop and bought a brand-new ice-cream thirty seconds before we walked out the exit.可知在夏天,冰琪淋很快就會(huì)化了,是Murphy又重新買了一個(gè),在出口處等著我們。故選D.

4. A 因?yàn)楸疚木褪歉嬖V了我們作者一家在迪斯尼樂園受到了 Murphy的幫助,所以這里的someone指的就是Murphy。故選A.

5. C 這篇短文主要說的就是Carmen Rivera因?yàn)樵诘纤鼓針穲@受到幫助而寫的一封感謝信,所以答案為C.

 Carl,one of the American exchange students,said that curry is one of his favourite food. Daniel wants to learn more about curry. He has found this article on the Internet. Read it with him.

Curry around the world

"Curry" is the English word used to describe meat or vegetables in a spicy sauce,usually served with rice. It is believed that the word "curry" comes from the Tamil word "kari".

Curries have been very popular dishes in many Asian countries throughout history. Although curry is believed to originally come from India,it has been eaten in many other Asian countries—such as Pakistan,Bangladesh,Sri Lanka,Nepal,Indonesia,Malaysia and Thailand—for thousands of years.

Today curries are eaten all over the world. This tasty and spicy dish was brought to the West by British people from India in the 17th century.

What we call "curry" today is an international dish that is well known around the world. Over time and distance,the flavours of dishes change so that the people eating the dish will like it. For example,the most popular curry in restaurants in the UK is called chicken tikka masala. Many British people think this is an Indian dish. However,it is really a dish created by restaurants in the UK and is not a traditional Asian dish at all.

Today curry is loved by people all over the world,unless,of course,they do not like spicy food!

However,his mother was getting old and Mr Jiang did not want her to do any more housework.
