Up until now, Disney’s attempt into China has been anything but magical. Its Hong Kong theme park, opened in 2005, has had a difficult time due to early mistakes and competition. But Disney doesn’t throw in the towel in a market with 1.3 billion potential customers. After more than a decade of negotiations, Disney can build its second Disneyland in Shanghai.
Disney officials wouldn’t say when the park will open or how much it will cost. But the company stated in press release that the Shanghai park will include “characteristics adapted to the Shanghai region”.
The approval for park construction comes among China’s ongoing efforts to develop its tourism sector, which is expected to increase by 3% this year.
Since the mainland Chinese make up a third of visitors to Hong Kong Disneyland, some fear that the Shanghai park will take tourists away from the former park. Since opening four years ago, Hong Kong Disneyland has underperformed due to its small size — 300 acres, the smallest of any Disney parks — as well as high ticket prices and competition from Ocean Park.
Disney has also made several market miscalculations. Analysts say the company, in trying not to make the same mistakes it did in Paris by failing to be adapted to local tastes, may have done too much in its efforts to adapt the Hong Kong park to Chinese customers. For example, the park’s restaurants originally planned to serve the shark’s fin soup, until environmentalists protested(抗议).
Disney officials dismissed concerns that a new park in Shanghai will steal Hong Kong customers. “We see Hong Kong Disneyland and the Shanghai park as complementary(互补的),” said an official. “We believe the Chinese market is large enough to support more than one park.”
Further expansion in Asia may be a good bet. Last year, roughly a quarter of Disney’s profit came from overseas operations. Asia contributed just 5%, but leisure-industry experts are confident about the region’s potential.
60. The underlined phrase “throw in the towel” in Paragraph 1 means “”.
A. have a good idea
B. admit that it has been defeated
C. bring hope
D. invest more money
61. The Chinese government agreed on the construction of Shanghai Disneyland with the aim of .
A. developing Shanghai’s tourism
B. competing with Hong Kong Disneyland
C. hosting a successful Disney celebration
D. promoting the development of local culture
62. A tourist gives up the idea of visiting Hong Kong Disneyland probably because .
A. it is not well adapted to Chinese customers
B. it lacks attractions
C. environmentalists protest
D. it is very small and the ticket price is high
63. From the passage, it can be inferred that .
A. only after long years of negotiations can Disney build its second park in Shanghai
B. when the Shanghai park will open and how much it will cost haven’t been decided
C. the Shanghai park will be as successful as the Hong Kong theme park
D. Paris Disneyland was not so successful, failing to satisfy the taste of the local people.
C
Children are being indirectly affectly by the impact of the recession (经济衰退) on their parents, the Children’s society warns.
The chief executive of the Children’s Society, Bob Reitemeier, said that children were “on the front of recession”. He said the recession made it even more important to try to end child poverty.
The answers suggest children from poorer backgrounds are more likely to be affected, but over a third of children across all backgrounds said they were aware that the recession was worrying their parents.
Fifteen-year-old Patricia said her family felt the impact of the recession on their everyday budget(预算). “We have to save up our money and do not spend it so much on unnecessary things,”she said.
Those questioned appeared to have great awareness of the economic crisis, which, unsurprisingly, was higher among the older children. But around 15% said they hadn’t been affected by it.
Recent figures showed that in 2007 there were 850,000 young people with no particular occupation. An official from the government said it was so “disappointing” that some young people were concerned about the economy.
Parents are clearly best placed to talk to their children about their worries, but schools also play an important role in teaching young people the skills they need to become healthy, happy and confident individuals.
64.Which of the following is true?
A. It is more important to try to end child poverty in the recession.
B.Children from poorer areas are less likely to be affected.
C.All the children questioned are worried about the economy.
D.That some young people are worrying about the economy is “good news”.
65.What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 5?
A. The poorer background.
B.The impact of the recession.
C. Everyday budget.
D.The government.
66.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Many children are concerned about the recession.
B.Children are being directly affected by the recession.
C.The recession affected children indirectly.
D. Schools play an important role in teaching young people how to become healthy, happy and confident individuals.
D
When I asked my daughter which item she would keep; the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.
Point 1 — The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?
Point 2 —The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,” says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her V olvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车) to her rescue.
Point 3 — The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at and time of day to ask where they are , where they are going, and how their last meeting went.
Point 4 —The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near——but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”
Point —5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously ( 同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn’t know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can ev en talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they’re space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access(存取) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.
67. How do you understand ‘Point 1 —The telephone creates the need to co mmunicate,…’？
A. People don’t communicate without telephone.
B. People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.
C. People communicate more since telephone has been created.
D. People communicate more because of more traffic.
68. Which of the following best shows people’s attitude towards mobile phones?
A. Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency.
B. Mobile phones bring convenience as well as little secret to people.
C. Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged.
D. Mobile phones are part of people’s life.
69. Which points do you think support the idea that phones improve people’s life?
a. Point 1.
b. Point2.
c. Point3.
d. Point 4.
e. Point 5.
A. c, d
B. a, e
C. a, c
D. b, e
70. It is possible to talk to several complete strangers simultaneously through .
A. the TV screen
B. a fax machine
C. the phone line hooked up to the computer
D. a microphone
第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，共35分）
第一节任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

(注意：每空格1个单词)
No one can avoid being influenced by advertisements. Much as we may pride ourselves on our good taste, we are no longer free to choose the things we want, for advertising exerts（施加）some influence on us. In their efforts to persuade us to buy this or that product, advertisers have made a close study of human nature and have classified（分类）all our little weaknesses.
Advertisers discovered years ago that all of us love to get something for nothing. An advertisement which begins with the magic work FREE can rarely go wrong. These days, advertisers not only offer free samples, but free cars, free houses, and free trips round the world as well. They design hundreds of competitions which will enable us to win huge sums of money. Radio and television have made it possible for advertisers to draw the attention of millions of people in
this way.
During a radio program, a company of biscuit manufacturers once asked listeners to bake biscuits and send them to their factory. They offered to pay $10 a pound for the biggest biscuit baked by a listener. The response to this competition was active. Before long, biscuits of all shapes and sizes began arriving at the factory. One lady brought in a biscuit on a wheelbarrow. It weighed nearly 500 pounds. All the biscuits that were sent were carefully weighed. The largest was 713 pounds. It seemed certain that this would win the prize. But just before the competition closed, a lorry arrived at the factory with a truly large biscuit which weighed 2,400 pounds. It had been baked by a college student who had used over 1,000 pounds of flour, 800 pounds of sugar, 200 pounds of fat, and 400 pounds of various other ingredients. The factory had to pay more money than they had expected, for they bought the biscuit from the student for $24,000.
Advertising
Customers and advertisers Though(71) ______ of our good taste, customers are (72)_____ by advertisements when buying things.
In fact, advertisers have studied human nature in order to
(73) _______ customers to buy this or that product.
According to their (74)______ all customers love to get things for (75) _______.
The usually effective means Advertisers offer free things, which often does (76) ______. Hundreds of competitions are (77) ______ for customers to win huge sums of money.
Radio and television are used to (78) ______ people’s attention.
An exception By radio, a company of biscuit manufacturers once advertised that they would offer $10 a pound for the biggest biscuit baked by a listener, which (79) ______ active response.
However, they never (80) ______ to pay $24,000 for a truly large biscuit made by a college student and carried by a lorry.
