【题目】Walt Disney and Shanghai government have formally agreed to open up a Disney theme park in China's commercial capital.

Just days after the World Expo was closed, they agreed on plans for a joint venture(合资企业)to manage the project, expected to cover nearly eight square miles for the entire resort(度假胜地), the city government said in a statement. The cost is reportedly estimated at 25 billion yuan.

Plans call for the theme park to be a strong international tourism resort with a pleasant, low-carbon environment, the city said.A joint venture between local companies and Disney will be responsible for construction, management and operation of the Disney theme park,it said.

Some villagers were long ago moved off farmland in Chuansha, a part of Pudong district near the city's main international airport,to make way for the park.

Disney issued a statement confirming its discussions with the Shanghai government, saying, We can confirm the statement from the Shanghai government that we have taken another step forward in the approval process.

But the company said it was still awaiting final approval of the joint venture by the central government and completion of necessary procedures.

The sixmonthlong World Expo,which ended on Sunday,drew a record of 72 million visitors,mostly Chinese tourists.That event made it necessary for the city to build nearly a dozen new subway lines,new highways,airport upgrades and other modern facilities.

With the Disneyland project due to start,the city appears likely to continue its building boom(激增).

The agreement on Friday came exactly a year after China's natioal planning agency approved the plans for the parka major step toward getting the project started.

The park will give Shanghai,the mainland's main financial and commercial centre,a new showcase.While the city is one of China's most modern and wealthy cities,it has relatively few big historic landmarks compared with ancient capitals like Beijing and Xi'an.

Disney has said the Shanghai resort will include a MagicKingdomstyle theme park with characteristics tailored to the Shanghai region.

Disney has been expanding its presence in mainland China after opening a theme park in Hong Kong in 2005.That venue, which has suffered from disappointing attendance,is in the midst of Disneys expansion as it intends to compete with the future theme park in Shanghai.

【1】What do we know about the Disneyland project to be built in Shanghai?

A.The cost is more than 25 billion yuan.

B.The design is environmentally friendly.

C.It will be built by Walt Disney Company.

D.It is as large as the World Expo Garden in area.

【2】What can we learn from Disney's statement?

A.The construction of the theme park is in process.

B.They need approval from the central government.

C.The joint venture has completed necessary procedures.

D.Disney didn't think their discussions with the Shanghai government was helpful.

【3】We can infer from the last paragraph that________.

A.visitors often go to Hong Kong Disneyland these days because of its expansion

B.the Shanghai theme park should learn from Hong Kong's

【题目】One of those big social networking sites, Facebook, has attracted over 58 million members. Commentator Melody Cramer is no longer one of them. Here is what she shares with us about her story.

I deleted all 1,281 of my coworkers, secondgrade classmates and people who I don’t know at all. I shut down my account, completely. I’m 30, and I’ve been on Facebook since March of 2004, which makes me one of the website’s earliest users.

At first, I used it obsessively. If I had a free moment, I’d log on to see whether my friends had updated their profiles. I’d sit alone scrolling through these updates and then run into someone at a coffee shop and have nothing to say because I already knew everything about them, and they knew everything about me.

In November, I went to my tenyear high school reunion and was not pleasantly surprised. Lauren became a model, Josh went to law school, Dina was a teacher. I hadn’t talked to any of them since graduation, but I knew exactly what they were doing, both now and last week. But lately, I’m overwhelmed(应接不暇). Facebook opened up to everyone, not just college students, and my coworkers started to join, which meant they now knew what I was doing when I wasn’t at work.

And as a rule: you can NOT make friends with your coworkers because then they’ll ask you the next day. But I thought we were friends. And you are friends but not the kind of friends who tell each other what they do outside of work. So now the people you work with can see what you did last night, and you’re constantly worrying what people might say about what you did last night instead of actually doing anything tonight. So Iquit. I became a 30yearold Luddite, a person who is strongly against technology development. I’ve retuned to how the world worked when I was 20, before I knew when my friends and coworkers were counting down the seconds to vacation or entering a complicated relationship. I’m hoping life will be a lot simpler now. People will be more mysterious now that I actually have to talk to them to find out their favorite books or hobbies or neurosis(神经症). I don’t know when my college roommate goes to the supermarket, and I think I’m a better person for not knowing. In fact, you could say getting off a social network was the best thing I’ve done this week.

1Melody Cramer decided to quit Facebook mainly because ______.

A. she thought it wasted too much time

B. she was afraid of the strangers on her account

C. she was tired of exposing her life to coworkers

D. she thought it made realworld life less interesting

2We can learn from the passage that Melody Cramer ______.

A. had a 10year membership of Facebook

B. used to be very objected to Facebook

C. was unpleasant to attend high school reunion

D. was one of the co-founders of Facebook

3Which of the following about Melody Cramer is TRUE?

A. She owes her communication skills to Facebook.

B. She wishes she could be several years younger.

C. She prefers to face her friends and co-workers in reality.

D. She is no longer curious about anything around her.

4The best title for this passage can be _____.

A. Addiction to Facebook

B. Farewell to Facebook

C. Friends Online

D. A Simpler Life

【题目】According to the Ministry of Health, 260 million Chinese people have chronic(慢性)diseases, and 85 percent of all deaths in China are caused by such diseases.Among them, cardiovascular(心血管的)disease has bothered more people than any other kind of chronic disease.

According to the WHO(World Health Organization), salt consumption(消耗), one of the key causes of high blood pressure that can lead to cardiovascular disease, is much higher in China than in other countries.

Douglas Bettcher, the director of the WHO’s Tobacco Free Initiative, says, “The average Chinese person consumes about 12 to 14 grams (of salt) per day, while the suggestion of the WHO is consumption of less than 5 grams per day.High salt consumption is a major cause of cardiovascular disease and high pressure in China.

Changing the way that food is prepared could reduce salt consumption in China.

Another major risk factor in China is smoking.Dr Michael O’Leary, a representative of the WHO, says, “We know already that one million deaths in China are related to smoking, This is an enormous number.It means that we are seeing nearly 3000 deaths a day in China, or two deaths every minute, related to smoking.

According to O’Leary, about 26 percent of men who die from smoking-related diseases in China die before the age of 60.People who can still contribute a great deal, in other words, are dying too young.

China has tried to ban smoking , but more efforts are needed.

More than half of chronic diseases are preventable by changing lifestyles and reducing risks.The four key risk factors are: smoking, diets high in fats, salt and sugar, environments that prevent physical activities, and alcohol consumption.These are the areas on which efforts to make changes need to concentrate.

【1】Which of the following is more in China than in other countries?

A.The amount of salt consumed

B.The number of deaths caused by high blood pressure.

C.The number of people with cardiovascular disease.

D.The number of people with high blood pressure.

2According to the WHO, how much salt should a Chinese person consume?

A.About 12 to 14 grams per day.

B.Less than 5 grams per day.

C.About 17 to 19 grams per day.

D.About 7 to 9 grams per day.

3Why does O’Leary mention “26 percent of men” in Paragraph 6?

A.To show China needs to try to ban smoking.

B.To show smoking causes the deaths of elderly people.

C.To show smoking causes the deaths of too many young people.

D.To show the number of smoking-related deaths in China is large.

4What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.There are four causes of chronic diseases.

B.The change in lifestyles can prevent some chronic diseases.

C.No smoking or alcohol means no chronic diseases.

D.If we do physical activities, we will have no chronic diseases.
