第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
With so many festivals taking place in the UK, it’s getting harder every year to decide which ones to go to—and more importantly, which ones you can actually afford.
Parklife — Heaton Park, Manchester
Dates: 10th — 11th June
Headliners: The 1975, Skrillex and Aitch
Cost: From £149.50 (weekend ticket), from £84.50 (one-day ticket)
Manchester’s favourite music festival is, unsurprisingly, a favourite with the city’s large student population. The weekend usually features a top-drawer line-up with loads of acts. You can’t camp at Parklife, so you also have to factor in accommodation in Manchester.
Latitude — Henham Park, Southwold
Dates: 20th — 23rd July
Headliners: Pulp, Paolo Nutini and George Ezra
Cost: £286.45 (weekend ticket with standard camping), from £90.75 (one-day ticket)
Latitude is one of the pricier festivals out there, but the lineup normally justifies (证明……正确) the dollar. The festival will have big artists alongside its main headliners. It’s a great all-rounder festival, where you can get back to nature by camping and lake swimming before dancing to DJs until the early hours.
Wireless — Finsbury Park, London
Dates: 7th — 9th July
Headliners: Playboi Carti, Travis Scott and 50 Cent
Cost: From £248.39 (weekend ticket), from £88 (one-day ticket)
We’re still a bit upset with Wireless for cancelling the festival’s Birmingham stop, making it a London-only event. Wireless hosts the sounds of grime, hip-hop, rap and R&B in North London’s Finsbury Park. Wireless isn’t a camping festival, so you’ll have to factor in the price of London accommodation for this one.
Victorious — Southsea Seafront Portsmouth
Dates: 25th — 27th August
Headliners: Jamiroquai, Kasabian and Ben Howard
Cost: £180 (weekend ticket with camping), £60 (one-day ticket)
Although it has an excellent line-up of big names, this is still a relatively little-known festival. Since there are so many big acts, it’s also a pretty cost-effective option too. Best of all, the Castle Stage is situated in front of the stunning Southsea Castle, making this one of the most picturesque festivals around.
1. What do Parklife and Wireless have in common?
A. They are for students. B. They are in London.
C. They don’t offer campsites. D. They are in July.
2. Where can the visitors swim in a lake?
A. Heaton Park. B. Henham Park. C. Finsbury Park. D. Southsea Seafront.
3. Which of the following festival s begins the latest?
A. Parklife. B. Latitude. C. Wireless. D. Victorious.
B
According to the Houston Health Department, for nearly one-quarter of children living in Houston, Texas, the choice to eat healthily doesn’t exist. Annie Zhu was shocked to find out so many children in Houston lived in food deserts — areas without access to fresh food. She was also shocked to see how much fresh food supermarkets discard (丢弃) every day. So she and her twin sister Shirley went to work.
First, they partnered with the Houston Health Department to give out food at community centres. With the help of Second Servings, they collected surplus food from grocery stores and began organizing monthly markets. They even connected with human service agencies to provide help beyond food. Lastly, they developed a simple app that tells people when and where the markets are. Since the food is fresh, it needs to be picked up right away, so they developed the text and messaging app Fresh Hub.
Each month, Fresh Hub organizes high schoolers who wear green shirts and go to work setting up stands of fresh produce, baked goods and packaged meats. The Zhu sisters and the green dream team have given out over 1,500 pounds of food. And while families are collecting food, volunteers are entertaining kids with art projects that teach healthy eating.
At the end of the day, Annie says the two are happy to be making a difference. “Frustration (沮丧) over the unfair circumstances built into society led us to meet amazing people,” says Annie. “I know I’m not alone on this journey to help the underserved — and I know our journey has only just begun!”
4. Why do one-quarter of children living in Houston eat unhealthy food?
A. They live in deserts.
B. The supermarkets waste lots of fresh food.
C. They find nowhere to get fresh and healthy food.
D. They choose unhealthy food instead of fresh food.
5. What does the underlined word “surplus” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Extra. B. Different. C. Fresh. D. Sufficient.
6. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. How to use the app Fresh Hub.
B. The Zhu sisters’ green dream team.
C. How much food they have given out.
D. The things volunteers do to help those families.
7. What can we infer from Annie’s words in the last paragraph?
A. She prefers to work alone.
B She will continue to help those in need.
C. The members of the team need to be replaced.
D. The unfair circumstances are good for the society.
C
Self-confidence is an important quality to develop in your kid. It is associated with better grades, more satisfying personal relationships, better decision making, and greater self-control. Self-confidence is obtained from skills and competencies, experiences, treatment by others and the nature and frequency(频率) of successes and failures. But, self-confidence is also affected by something as simple as how your kids carry themselves as they go about their daily lives. If kids behave more self-confidently, they feel more self-confident. Here are some direct instructions parents can give their kids to help them make it.
To start with, have your kids stand tall and straight with their shoulders back. This is particularly important for teenage girls. It is not unusual for girls to draw their shoulders inward as a way of avoiding dealing with the changes of their bodies. They will need help balance being confident in their bodies.
Self-confident people stand and walk with their hands out and to the side of the body. Some research has provided evidence that placing your hands on your hips(髋部) results in greater decisiveness in business situations. This is sometimes referred to as the super hero stance. Before your kids are about to engage in an activity where self-confidence is required, have them stand like a super hero with their heads held high, their eyes focused on the horizon and their hands on their hips. It can feel kind of silly but will make a difference in their attitude and behaviour.
Finally, your kids need to be aware of how they actually walk. Self-confident people walk with big steps. They take solid steps with their head up, looking where they are going and making direct eye contact with people they encounter.
With a little time and some direct instruction, you can help your teen appear more self-confident which will actually help them feel more self-confident. You are the perfect person for them to practise on. One thing though. It is probably better to address this in private.
8. What will kids fail to gain with more self-confidence?
A. Better marks on the exam. B. Better relationship with others.
C. Greater self-control. D. The strongest bones.
9. What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Standing like a super hero. B. Engaging in an activity.
C. Making eyes focused on a certain thing. D. Holding heads high.
10. What can we know from paragraphs 2-4?
A. Teen girls always stand tall and straight with their shoulders back.
B. Self-confident persons aren’t afraid of straight eye contact.
C. It’s impolite to put your hands on your hips when you talk with others.
D. You should mind your steps when you walk, being careful and slow.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Self-confidence and Body Language B. Self-confidence and Teen Girls
C. Self-confidence and Parents D. Self-confidence and Good Quality
D
Mickey Mouse welcomed visitors to his new home in China on June 16, 2016 as Disney opened its first theme park in the country.
The park, located in the city of Shanghai, opened with fireworks.
Joe Schott, president and general manager of Shanghai Disney Resort, said, “I can promise you that there is still so much left to be revealed, and I cannot wait to share it all with you in the months and years to come.”
Tens of thousands streamed into Shanghai Disneyland for its debut(问世), an event that was nearly two decades in the making. The $ 5.5 billion resort(度假胜地) covers 963 acres, but Disney has already begun expansion.
Company officials said they tried to reflect Chinese preferences in the new park.
“We didn’t build Disneyland in China, we built China’s Disneyland,” said Bob Iger, Disney’s chairman.
There’s a traditional Chinese tea house featuring local food. The Lion King performed in Mandarin for the first time, features the Monkey King and characters dressed in Chinese opera garb(服装)to appeal to an Asian audience.
In the castle, guests not only walk through, as they do in other Disney parks, they can also eat and shop. When it was discovered that Chinese people didn’t have a favourite Disney princess, the company decided that the castle would feature all the princesses. Parks in California and France are based on the Sleeping Beauty story.
“The visitors can learn the princesses over time, and this gives them an opportunity to have an introduction to all of the princess stories,” said executive producer Ali Rubinstein.
However, China’s Disneyland sometimes are not closely related to China. Disney’s only animated film based on a Chinese story, Mulan, which tells the tale of a Chinese warrior woman, got neither its own ride nor stage show. The character appears only as a statue and afloat in the parade.
12. What’s Joe Schott’s attitude to Shanghai Disney Resort?
A. Disappointed. B. Concerned. C. Doubtful. D. Confident.
13. What can be learned from what Bob said in paragraph 6?
A. They build the theme park in China.
B. The theme park belongs to China.
C. The theme park has Chinese elements.
D. The theme park has a long Chinese history.
14. Why does China’s Disneyland have all kinds of princesses?
A. Chinese people have no certain favourite Disney princess.
B. Chinese people don’t know any princess characters in Disney movies.
C. Chinese people believe “the more, the better”.
D. Parks in other countries are based on the Sleeping Beauty story.
15 What is the purpose of giving the Mulan example?
A. To show the Chinese character of Disneyland.
B. To show Mulan is an important part of Chinese culture.
C. To show China’s Disneyland has not reflected enough Chinese culture.
D. To show Disneyland has too few Chinese character films.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In class, I am sitting next to Mareena. We both have a good laugh. And when we laugh, it’s not small laughs. It’s more like big hair, we twist (扭曲) in laughter on our chairs and we end up under the table so much we are folded (折叠) in two. Sometimes, too, she annoys me a bit, especially when she uses my eraser or my pink pen that writes magic words. But best friends always fight a bit, that’s normal, Mum often tells me.
One morning, I found myself alone at my table. Mareena was ill. I found the day long, but I still laughed a bit. Because when Baptiste meant to say Madagascar (马达加斯加岛), he mistakenly said Madame Gaskal.
The next day, when I saw that Mareena was still away, I asked Mum if I could go to see her at her place. I wanted to bring her homework, but also make her laugh a little, so that she would feel better. Mum made a funny face and told me it was better to wait a few days. I thought maybe Mareena had a contagious (传染性的) disease. But still, it bothered me not to see my best friend. So I asked again. This time mum sat down with me on my bed and held my hands very tight. I realized that something was wrong.
Mum explained to me that Mareena was going to have to stay in the hospital for a while, because of an illness that I didn’t understand. Well, yes, what I understood was that my best friend wasn’t going to be back to school for a long time, and that we wouldn’t be laughing like whales anytime soon because of stupid things.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I still asked to go to see Mareena once at the hospital.

Latitude is one of the pricier festivals out there, but the lineup normally justifies (证明……正确) the dollar. The festival will have big artists alongside its main headliners. It’s a great all-rounder festival, where you can get back to nature by camping and lake swimming before dancing to DJs until the early hours.
Wireless — Finsbury Park, London
Dates: 7th — 9th July
Headliners: Playboi Carti, Travis Scott and 50 Cent
Cost: From £248.39 (weekend ticket), from £88 (one-day ticket)
We’re still a bit upset with Wireless for cancelling the festival’s Birmingham stop, making it a London-only event. Wireless hosts the sounds of grime, hip-hop, rap and R&B in North London’s Finsbury Park. Wireless isn’t a camping festival, so you’ll have to factor in the price of London accommodation for this one.
Victorious — Southsea Seafront, Portsmouth
Dates: 25th — 27th August
Headliners: Jamiroquai, Kasabian and Ben Howard
Cost: £180 (weekend ticket with camping), £60 (one-day ticket)
Although it has an excellent line-up of big names, this is still a relatively little-known festival. Since there are so many big acts, it’s also a pretty cost-effective option too. Best of all, the Castle Stage is situated in front of the stunning Southsea Castle, making this one of the most picturesque festivals around.
1. What do Parklife and Wireless have in common?
A. They are for students. B. They are in London.
C. They don’t offer campsites. D. They are in July.
2. Where can the visitors swim in a lake?
A. Heaton Park. B. Henham Park. C. Finsbury Park. D. Southsea Seafront.
3. Which of the following festival s begins the latest?

【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个英国的音乐节。

According to the Houston Health Department, for nearly one-quarter of children living in Houston, Texas, the choice to eat healthily doesn’t exist. Annie Zhu was shocked to find out so many children in Houston lived in food deserts — areas without access to fresh food. She was also shocked to see how much fresh food supermarkets discard (丢弃) every day. So she and her twin sister Shirley went to work.
First, they partnered with the Houston Health Department to give out food at community centres. With the help of Second Servings, they collected surplus food from grocery stores and began organizing monthly markets. They even connected with human service agencies to provide help beyond food. Lastly, they developed a simple app that tells people when and where the markets are. Since the food is fresh, it needs to be picked up right away, so they developed the text and messaging app Fresh Hub.
Each month, Fresh Hub organizes high schoolers who wear green shirts and go to work setting up stands of fresh produce, baked goods and packaged meats. The Zhu sisters and the green dream team have given out over 1,500 pounds of food. And while families are collecting food, volunteers are entertaining kids with art projects that teach healthy eating.
At the end of the day, Annie says the two are happy to be making a difference. “Frustration (沮丧) over the unfair circumstances built into society led us to meet amazing people,” says Annie. “I know I’m not alone on this journey to help the underserved — and I know our journey has only just begun!”
4. Why do one-quarter of children living in Houston eat unhealthy food?
A. They live in deserts.
B. The supermarkets waste lots of fresh food.
C. They find nowhere to get fresh and healthy food.
D. They choose unhealthy food instead of fresh food.
5. What does the underlined word “surplus” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Extra. B. Different. C. Fresh. D. Sufficient.
6. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. How to use the app Fresh Hub.
B. The Zhu sisters’ green dream team.
C. How much food they have given out.
D. The things volunteers do to help those families.
7. What can we infer from Annie’s words in the last paragraph?
A. She prefers to work alone.
B. She will continue to help those in need.
C. The members of the team need to be replaced.
D. The unfair circumstances are good for the society.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了富有爱心的Annie姐妹俩为帮助那些吃不到新鲜食物的人们做了很多努力,结识了很多志同道合的好人,一起做善事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Annie Zhu was shocked to find out so many children in Houston lived in food deserts—areas without access to fresh food.(安妮·朱(Annie Zhu)震惊地发现,休斯顿有这么多孩子生活在食物沙漠中——无法获得新鲜食物的地区)”可知,因为他们找不到新鲜健康的食物,所以生活在休斯顿的四分之一的孩子吃不健康的食物。故选C项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“She was also shocked to see how much fresh food supermarkets discard (丢弃) every day.(她还震惊地看到,超市每天丢弃了多少新鲜食品)”可知,食品超市每天会丢弃很多的新鲜食物,他们正好收集这些超市处理的多余的新鲜食物来帮助他人,推知surplus应是“多余的”之意,和A项意思相近。故选A项。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Each month, Fresh Hub organizes high schoolers who wear green shirts and go to work setting up stands of fresh produce, baked goods and packaged meats. The Zhu sisters and the green dream team have given out over 1,500 pounds of food. And while families are collecting food, volunteers are entertaining kids with art projects that teach healthy eating.(每个月,Fresh Hub都会组织穿着绿色衬衫的高中生去工作,摆摊出售新鲜农产品、烘焙食品和包装肉类。朱姐妹和绿色梦之队已经分发了1500多磅的食物。在各家各户收集食物的同时,志愿者们用教导健康饮食的艺术项目来娱乐孩子们)”可知,整段描述的是志愿者们为帮助那些没有办法吃到新鲜食物的家庭所做的事:搬运、分发食物,还会用艺术作品给孩子们普及健康饮食的概念。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“At the end of the day, Annie says the two are happy to be making a difference. “Frustration (沮丧) over the unfair circumstances built into society led us to meet amazing people,” says Annie. “I know I’m not alone on this journey to help the underserved—and I know our journey has only just begun!”(安妮说,在一天结束的时候,两人都很高兴能有所作为。安妮说:“对社会不公平环境的挫败感让我们遇到了很棒的人。”“我知道,在帮助弱势群体的旅程中,我并不孤单——我知道,我们的旅程才刚刚开始!”)”可知,虽然社会中不公平的环境令人沮丧,但也让他们遇到了很多志同道合的了不起的人。她坚信会有更多人加入进来,他们的旅程才刚刚开始,即他们会继续帮助那些需要帮助的人。故选B项。
C
Self-confidence is an important quality to develop in your kid. It is associated with better grades, more satisfying personal relationships, better decision making, and greater self-control. Self-confidence is obtained from skills and competencies, experiences, treatment by others and the nature and frequency(频率) of successes and failures. But, self-confidence is also affected by something as simple as how your kids carry themselves as they go about their daily lives. If kids behave more self-confidently, they feel more self-confident. Here are some direct instructions parents can give their kids to help them make it.
To start with, have your kids stand tall and straight with their shoulders back. This is particularly important for teenage girls. It is not unusual for girls to draw their shoulders inward as a way of avoiding dealing with the changes of their bodies. They will need help balance being confident in their bodies.
Self-confident people stand and walk with their hands out and to the side of the body. Some research has provided evidence that placing your hands on your hips(髋部) results in greater decisiveness in business situations. This is sometimes referred to as the super hero stance. Before your kids are about to engage in an activity where self-confidence is required, have them stand like a super hero with their heads held high, their eyes focused on the horizon and their hands on their hips. It can feel kind of silly but will make a difference in their attitude and behaviour.
Finally, your kids need to be aware of how they actually walk. Self-confident people walk with big steps. They take solid steps with their head up, looking where they are going and making direct eye contact with people they encounter.
With a little time and some direct instruction, you can help your teen appear more self-confident which will actually help them feel more self-confident. You are the perfect person for them to practise on. One thing though. It is probably better to address this in private.
8. What will kids fail to gain with more self-confidence?
A. Better marks on the exam. B. Better relationship with others.
C. Greater self-control. D. The strongest bones.
9. What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Standing like a super hero. B. Engaging in an activity.
C. Making eyes focused on a certain thing. D. Holding heads high.
10. What can we know from paragraphs 2-4?
A. Teen girls always stand tall and straight with their shoulders back.
B. Self-confident persons aren’t afraid of straight eye contact.
C. It’s impolite to put your hands on your hips when you talk with others.
D. You should mind your steps when you walk, being careful and slow.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Self-confidence and Body Language B. Self-confidence and Teen Girls
C. Self-confidence and Parents D. Self-confidence and Good Quality
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了自信的好处,并通过不同的肢体语言介绍如何让十多岁的孩子们增强自信。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Self-confidence is an important quality to develop in your kid. It is associated with better grades, more satisfying personal relationships, better decision making, and greater self-control.(自信是培养孩子的重要品质。它与更好的成绩、更令人满意的人际关系、更好的决策和更好的自制力有关。)”可知,孩子么变得自信之后,就可以拥有好的成绩、良好的人际关系和自制力等。“最强壮的骨头”在文中并未提及。故选D项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Before your kids are about to engage in an activity where self-confidence is required, have them stand like a super hero with their heads held high, their eyes focused on the horizon and their hands on their hips(在你的孩子即将参加一项需要自信的活动之前,像超人一样站着,仰起头,平视前方,双手叉腰)”可知,it代指前面的提到的“have them stand like a super hero”。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“They take solid steps with their head up, looking where they are going and making direct eye contact with people they encounter.
(他们昂首迈出坚实的步伐,看看自己要去的地方,并与遇到的人进行直接的眼神交流。)”可知,自信的人会与他们所遇到的人直接进行眼神交流。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章讲述了自信的好处,并通过不同的肢体语言介绍如何让十多岁的孩子们增强自信,作者提出了三种让孩子提高自信的方法,全部都是在肢体语言上的表现,A项“Self-confidence and Body Language(自信与肢体语言)”最能概括本文的主题,是最合适的标题。故选A项。

Mickey Mouse welcomed visitors to his new home in China on June 16, 2016 as Disney opened its first theme park in the country.
The park, located in the city of Shanghai, opened with fireworks.
Joe Schott, president and general manager of Shanghai Disney Resort, said, “I can promise you that there is still so much left to be revealed, and I cannot wait to share it all with you in the months and years to come.”
Tens of thousands streamed into Shanghai Disneyland for its debut(问世), an event that was nearly two decades in the making. The $ 5.5 billion resort(度假胜地) covers 963 acres, but Disney has already begun expansion.
Company officials said they tried to reflect Chinese preferences in the new park.
“We didn’t build Disneyland in China, we built China’s Disneyland,” said Bob Iger, Disney’s chairman.
There’s a traditional Chinese tea house featuring local food. The Lion King performed in Mandarin for the first time, features the Monkey King and characters dressed in Chinese opera garb(服装)to appeal to an Asian audience.
In the castle, guests not only walk through, as they do in other Disney parks, they can also eat and shop. When it was discovered that Chinese people didn’t have a favourite Disney princess, the company decided that the castle would feature all the princesses. Parks in California and France are based on the Sleeping Beauty story.
“The visitors can learn the princesses over time, and this gives them an opportunity to have an introduction to all of the princess stories,” said executive producer Ali Rubinstein.
However, China’s Disneyland sometimes are not closely related to China. Disney’s only animated film based on a Chinese story, Mulan, which tells the tale of a Chinese warrior woman, got neither its own ride nor stage show. The character appears only as a statue and afloat in the parade.
12. What’s Joe Schott’s attitude to Shanghai Disney Resort?
A. Disappointed. B. Concerned. C. Doubtful. D. Confident.
13. What can be learned from what Bob said in paragraph 6?
A. They build the theme park in China.
B. The theme park belongs to China.
C. The theme park has Chinese elements.
D. The theme park has a long Chinese history.
14. Why does China’s Disneyland have all kinds of princesses?
A. Chinese people have no certain favourite Disney princess.
B. Chinese people don’t know any princess characters in Disney movies.
C. Chinese people believe “the more, the better”.
D. Parks in other countries are based on the Sleeping Beauty story.
15. What is the purpose of giving the Mulan example?
A. To show the Chinese character of Disneyland.
B. To show Mulan is an important part of Chinese culture.
C To show China’s Disneyland has not reflected enough Chinese culture.
D. To show Disneyland has too few Chinese character films.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了中国上海的迪士尼乐园。设计者在里面融入了大量的中国元素。当然也提到了一些遗憾的地方,对中国元素还是有一些没有做到位的地方。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“I can promise you that there is still so much left to be revealed, and I cannot wait to share it all with you in the months and years to come.”(我可以向你保证,还有很多事情要透露,我迫不及待地想在未来的岁月里与大家分享这一切。)可知,Joe Schott对上海迪士尼乐园的态度是充满信心的。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段““We didn’t build Disneyland in China, we built China’s Disneyland,” said Bob Iger, Disney’s chairman.”(迪士尼董事长鲍勃·伊格尔表示:“我们不是在中国建造迪士尼乐园,而是建造了中国的迪士尼。”)和第七段“There’s a traditional Chinese tea house featuring local food. The Lion King performed in Mandarin for the first time, features the Monkey King and characters dressed in Chinese opera garb(服装)to appeal to an Asian audience.”(有一家传统的中国茶馆,以当地食物为特色。《狮子王》首次以普通话演出,主角是孙悟空和身着中国戏曲服装的角色(服装)吸引亚洲观众。)可知,接下来提到的中国茶社、当地食物、中国戏曲服装、美猴王等都在说上海的迪士尼是融入了中国当地文化的迪士尼乐园。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第八段“When it was discovered that Chinese people didn’t have a favourite Disney princess, the company decided that the castle would feature all the princesses.”(当发现中国人没有最喜欢的迪斯尼公主时,该公司决定将所有公主都放在城堡里。) 可知,因为中国人没有特定的最受喜爱的迪士尼公主,所以在中国迪士尼乐园有迪士尼电影中所有的公主。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, China’s Disneyland sometimes are not closely related to China. Disney’s only animated film based on a Chinese story, Mulan, which tells the tale of a Chinese warrior woman, got neither its own ride nor stage show. The character appears only as a statue and afloat in the parade.”(然而,中国的迪斯尼乐园有时与中国没有密切联系。迪士尼唯一一部基于中国故事的动画片《花木兰》,讲述了一位中国女战士的故事,既没有自己的骑乘节目,也没有舞台剧。这个角色只是一尊雕像,漂浮在游行队伍中。)可知,文中提到花木兰主要是指花木兰电影是迪士尼拍过的唯一以中国故事为背景的动画电影,而这个角色却在中国迪士尼只是一个雕塑,没有进一步挖掘成舞台剧等。表明中国的迪士尼乐园没有充分反映中国文化。故选C。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In class, I am sitting next to Mareena. We both have a good laugh. And when we laugh, it’s not small laughs. It’s more like big hair, we twist (扭曲) in laughter on our chairs and we end up under the table so much we are folded (折叠) in two. Sometimes, too, she annoys me a bit, especially when she uses my eraser or my pink pen that writes magic words. But best friends always fight a bit, that’s normal, Mum often tells me.
One morning I found myself alone at my table. Mareena was ill. I found the day long, but I still laughed a bit. Because when Baptiste meant to say Madagascar (马达加斯加岛), he mistakenly said Madame Gaskal.
The next day, when I saw that Mareena was still away, I asked Mum if I could go to see her at her place. I wanted to bring her homework, but also make her laugh a little, so that she would feel better. Mum made a funny face and told me it was better to wait a few days. I thought maybe Mareena had a contagious (传染性的) disease. But still, it bothered me not to see my best friend. So I asked again. This time mum sat down with me on my bed and held my hands very tight. I realized that something was wrong.
Mum explained to me that Mareena was going to have to stay in the hospital for a while because of an illness that I didn’t understand. Well, yes, what I understood was that my best friend wasn’t going to be back to school for a long time, and that we wouldn’t be laughing like whales anytime soon because of stupid things.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I still asked to go to see Mareena once at the hospital.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mareena eventually recovered.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I still asked to go to see Mareena once at the hospital. I was a little scared before seeing her again, but finally, I found that she did not look that bad. We laughed like before, even the doctors started to tell us jokes. There was even a time when I completely forgot that I was in the hospital, and that my best friend was sick. And then when leaving, Mareena took out an elephant-shaped blanket and handed it to me, saying, “Here, take my elephant. If you want to talk to me, you just have to talk to him, and he will answer you as if I were answering you.”
Mareena eventually recovered. It took several months, but she came back to school. Mum finally told me the name of the disease that Mareena had had. Just saying it, I swear, it makes you feverish. Since then, we have resumed our laughter games, and when we argue, I immediately think back to this long period when she was not there and immediately, we become friends again.
