Sony and Toyota are struggling. But one brand name is booming (繁榮) in Japan during the economic slowdown—Mickey Mouse.
According to the company that runs Tokyo Disneyland, Japan’s busiest theme park will be more packed than ever over Christmas and New Year’s Day. Despite the bad economy, it’s already been a record year for an escape which is cheaper than the average night out in pricey Tokyo.
“Here, economic depression (蕭條) seems a world away,” visitor Namie Katsunuma said. “This is the only place where I can totally forget the economic worries and hardships of my life.”
The single mother’s salary at an auto factory was cut in November but, with her $500 yearly pass in hand, she makes the 95-km journey from her home to Tokyo Disneyland every couple of months.
The park’s operator, Oriental Land Co, estimates (估算) a record 26.5 million people will visit Tokyo Disneyland and its nearby sister park, Disneysea, during the financial year ending in March. The company is forecasting sales of a record $4.2 billion, up almost 10 percent.
“In a way, the economy works well for Tokyo Disneyland,” said Hiroshi Watanabe, an economist at the Tokyo-based Daiwa Research Institute. “Because of the economic depression, people have stopped buying cars and houses or going to Hawaii, and Tokyo Disneyland offers an affordable and pleasant alternative.”
Around the world, Disney’s theme parks have been a bright spot for the brand this year as people seem to look for an escape from bad times.
小題1:According to the passage, what happens to Tokyo Disneyland this year?
A．Fewer people visit it.B．Less money is made.
C．It attracts more visitors.D．Its sales have reached $4.2 billion.
小題2:What can be the possible reason for Tokyo Disneyland’s boom?
A．It costs less money to play here than in any other theme park.
B．People have a new understanding of amusement.

D．Visitors seek an escape from economic depression.

小題4:According to the last paragraph, what is the writer probably going to write?
A．The theme parks that attract most visitors.

小題1:C
小題1:A
小題1:B

小題1:C.第二段第二句話Japan’s busiest theme park will be more packed than ever可看出迪斯尼公園將比往常更擁擠,吸引了更多顧客。所以選擇C。
小題1:C倒數第二段第三行所說的例子people have stopped buying cars and houses or going to Hawaii告訴我們人們因為經濟蕭條而改變經濟方案選擇區(qū)迪士尼樂園。所以選擇C。
小題1:A Alternative的中文意思是“供替換的選擇”，在此處聯(lián)系上下文，考察詞組offer a choice，故選擇A。
小題1:B 此題考查概括能力。最后一段只提到了總體的迪士尼公園，沒有具體的例子，而Disney’s theme parks have been a bright spot for the brand這句話也暗示我們接下來將要寫一些迪士尼公園的成功例子。故選擇B。

Our thoughts, words, and actions often cause harm to others and to us. Without reconciliation (和解), we cannot deepen our understanding and only cause more suffering.

You speak, write a letter, make a telephone. Your words carry a message. People communicate with words. Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad.

You nod and people know you are saying "Yes". Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus helps you to know which bus to take.

“Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton (骨骼) in the closet (衣櫥)?” Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her mother paused thoughtfully. “Well, it's something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad's family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be 'a skeleton in his family's closet'. He really wouldn't want any neighbor to know about it.”
“Why pick on my family?” Jessica's father said with anger. “Your family history isn't so good, you know. Wasn't your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?”“Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.”“Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.
After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica's parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica's closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica's mother sank in a faint (暈倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.
“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school's skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They're both crazy,” she thought.
小題1:According to Jessica's mother, “a skeleton in the close” means ________.
A．a family honorB．a family secretC．a family storyD．a family treasure
小題2:What can we learn about some Australians' ancestors from Paragraph 2?
A．They were brought to Australia as prisoners.
B．They were the earliest people living in Australia.
C．They were involved in some crimes in Australia.
D．They were not regarded as criminals in their days.
小題3:Why did Jessica bring a skeleton home?
A．She was curious about it.B．She planned to keep it for fun.
C．She needed it for her school task. D．She intended to scare her parents.
小題4: Jessica's parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because ________.
A．they were crazy.
B．they were over excited.
C．they realized their misunderstanding.
D．they both thought they had won the quarrel.

2. Get to work on time. Give yourself an extra15 minutes to make sure you arrive on time.

Have you ever been to the beautiful country of Holland and its capital Amsterdam? Anyone who has traveled to Amsterdam would probably agree on one thing: Amsterdam's story is a tale of two cities -- one during the day and a completely different one at night．
During the day, the largest city in the Netherlands sits quietly on the Amstel River．You can rent a bicycle, visit the Van Gogh or Anne Frank museum, or take a water taxi．But when the sun goes down, the partying begins．In the big clubs and in coffee shops, tourists gather to hang out, talk politics and smoke．
Several areas of the city clearly show the two worlds that rule Amsterdam．And they're all within a short cab ride of each other．For example, Dam Square attracts daytime sightseers to its festivals, open markets, concerts and other events．Several beautiful and very popular hotels can be found there．And there's the Royal Palace and the Magna Plaza shopping mall．
But at night party-seekers come to the square．Hip hop or funk music is heard there．．So if you come, be ready to dance．The clubs don't shut down until 4 am．
And while you're there, check out the various inexpensive ways to tour the city．Don't worry about getting lost．Although Dutch is the official language, most people in Amsterdam speak English and are happy to help you with directions．And you'll notice that half the people in the streets are on bicycles they rent．
Amsterdam also has a well-planned canal system．For about 10 dollars, you can use the canal bus or a water taxi to cruise（巡游） the "Venice of the North"．
The city has a historic past．One impressive place to visit is the Anne Frank House on Nine Streets．It was there that the young Jewish girl wrote her famous diary during World War II．Visitors can view Anne's original diary and climb behind the bookcase to the room where she and her family hid from the Nazis for two years．
小題1:What means of transport is not available to visitors in Amsterdam?

Geena David knew she wanted to be a movie star when she was very young. She was not sure what gave her the idea, but she wanted to look like a movie star. “I have a lot of pictures from my childhood of me wearing sunglasses,” she says. “I used to wear them to watch TV.”
　 Early movie actors started wearing sunglasses not because they looked good, but because their eyes hurt. The lights used on movie sets were extremely bright and could cause a painful problem known as “Klieg eyes”. It was named after the Klieg brothers who invented the lights. Actors wore sunglasses to give their eyes a rest. But when movie stars began wearing their sunglasses in public, they quickly became a must.
　 Eventually actors started wearing sunglasses in their movies as well as on the street. Audrey Hephburn wore ultra-cool Ray-Ban sunglasses in the 1961 movie, Breakfast at Tiffany’s. As a result, Ray-Ban sunglasses started to appear more and more in the movies. In 1979, Ray-Ban “Wayfarers” were worn by Jake and Elwood in The Blue Brothers. Tom Cruise wore Ray-Ban “Aviator” sunglasses in the 1986 hit, Top Gun. Then in 1997, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones made Ray-Ban “Predator” sunglasses famous in Men in Black.
　  Of course sunglasses aren’t just a fashion statement. The main reason to wear sunglasses is to protect our eyes against UV radiation. UV radiation can damage our eyes, so people now choose their sunglasses carefully. But you don’t have to give up style for safety. The choice of frames and lenses available these days is huge. So you can protect your eyes and still be the coolest person on the beach.
小題1:What is mainly discussed in this passage?
A．The use of sunglasses.B．The history of sunglasses.
C．The sunglasses wearing.D．Why movie stars like to wear sunglasses.
小題2:Why did Geena David like to wear sunglasses?
A．She was a movie star.
B．She wanted to follow a movie star.
C．Wearing sunglasses was good to her eyes.
D．It was good to wear sunglasses when watching TV.
小題3:Early actors’ eyes hurt because ______.
A．they wore sunglasses
B．they went out in the sun too much
C．the lights on movie sets were too bright
D．their scripts were written in very small writing
小題4:Now people wear sunglasses ______.
A．just to protect their eyesB．for fashion and to protect their eyes
C．because of bright lightsD．because movie stars wear them
