  Millions of people pass through the gates of Disney's entertainment parks in California, Florida and Japan each year. What makes these places an almost universal attraction? What makes foreign kings and queens and other important people want to visit these Disney parks? Well, one reason is the way they're treated once they get there. The people at Disney go out of their way to serve their“guests”, as they prefer to call them, and to see that they enjoy themselves.

  All new employees, from vice presidents to part-time workers, begin their employment by attending Disney University and taking “Traditions I”. Here, they learn about the company's history, how it is managed and why it is successful. They are shown how each department relates to the whole. All employees are shown how their part is important in making the part a success.

  After passing“Traditions I”, the employees go on to more specialized training for their specific (具体的) jobs. No detail is missed. A simple job like taking tickets requires four eight-hour days of training. When one ticket taker was asked why it took so much training for such a simple ordinary job, he replied, “What happens if someone wants to know where the restrooms are, when the parade starts or what bus to take back to the campgrounds?... We need to know the answers or where to get them quickly. Our constant aim is to help our guests enjoy party.”

  Even Disney's managers get involved in the daily management of the park. Every year, the managers leave their desks and business suits and put on special service clothes. For a full week, the bosses sell hot dogs or ice cream, take tickets or drive the monorail(单轨车), and take up any of the 100 jobs that make the entertainment park come alive. The managers agree that this week helps them to see the company's goals more clearly.

  All these efforts to serve the public well have made Walt Disney Productions famous. Disney is considered by many as the best mass service provided in America or the world. As one long-time business observer once said, “How Disney treats people, communicates with them, rewards them, is in my view the very reason for his fifty years of success ... I have watched, very carefully and with great respect and admiration, the theory and practice of selling satisfaction and serving millions of people on a daily basis, successfully. It is what Disney does best.”

Great Flood Evidence Found

  A team of National Geographic explorers travelling around the Black Sea, which is located between Europe and Asia, has found that people once lived in an area that is now deep under water. The discovery is the latest evidence(证据) supporting the idea that a huge flood swamped the area 7,500 years ago and created the Black Sea.

  An underwater robot found several submerged (under the surface of the sea) artifacts (things made by man), including shine tools and wood-and-clay buildings. The artifacts lay about 90 meters below the surface of the sea and 19 kilometers north of Turkish coast.

  The notion (belief) that an ancient flood created the Black Sea was hatched several years ago by two geologists, Bill Hyan and Walter Pitman, of Columbia University. They speculated(considered) that the Mediterranean Sea began to rise at the end of the last ice age, 15,000 years ago. The big ice sheets that covered large parts of the Northern Hemisphere started to melt, and the meltwater drained into the Mediterranean. Water from the rising sea pressed against a large wall of rock that existed on the sea's western shore. Behind that wall of rock lay a large freshwater lake.

  Over the centuries, the pressure of the water became more and more intense (very great). Finally, in one giant push, the water broke the wall of rock and poured into the inland lake. In a matter of days, the lake doubled in size. The salt in the incoming water turned the lake into a real sea-the Black Sea. The rushing water probably drowned many lakeshore inhabitants.

  The explorers are continuing to search for more signs of ancient habitations beneath the Black Sea.

1.The passage mainly concerned with ________.

[  ]

A.the formation of the Black Sea

B.the disappearance of an ancient civilization

C.the separation of Asia from Europe

D.the cause of geographic

2.From what the explorers found we can guess that ________.

[  ]

A.some ancient people lived where the Black Sea is

B.stone tools were first made some 7,500 years ago

C.wood-and-clay buildings stand water wash well

D.ancient people were able to live under water

3.The underlined word “hatched” has about the same meaning as ________.

[  ]

A.justified
B.illustrated
C.deduced
D.thought of

4.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

[  ]

A.A large wall of rock built by ancient people protected them from being flooded.

B.It was the pressure of ice sheets that led to the collapse of the rock wall.

C.It took 7,500 years for the water to accumulate enough power to break the wall.

D.The Mediterranean area had the most ancient human civilization in the world.

5.The discovery made. by the team of explorers ________.

[  ]

A.needs further support

B.is just an imagination

C.has been widely accepted

D.has proved the existence of ice age

Ⅲ. 阅读理解 (共两节,满分40分)

第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)

阅读下列短文,从文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出一个最佳答案。

Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. When a person does a certain thing again, he is driven by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly, then a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits. Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits lasting as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by them.

  There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help. Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and so on.

  Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. These are all easily formed habits. Unfortunately older persons often form habits which could have been avoided.

  We should keep away from all these bad habits, and try to form such habits as will be good for ourselves and others.

36. ________ are formed little by little.

A. Good habits                   

B. Bad habits

C. Both good habits and bad habits

D. Either good habits or bad habits

37. Generally speaking, it's difficult for one___and easy for them____which should be avoided.

  A. to form bad habits; to form good habits

  B. to form good habits; to form bad habits

  C. to form such habits as will be good; to get rid of bad habits

  D. to get rid of bad habits; to form good habits

38. Why should we pay much attention to the formation of habits?

  A. Because habits are of great help to every one of us.

  B. Because a man can never get rid of a habit.

  C. Because it's hard and sometimes even impossible to throw away bad habits.

  D. Because we are forced to do them again and again .

39. According to the passage, early rising ________.

  A. has something to do with success

  B. is an easily formed habit

  C. is such a habit as should have been avoided

  D. is such a habit as will be kept
