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, 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.
4.What's Joe Schott's attitude to Shanghai Disney Resort?
A.Disappointed. B.Concerned.
C.Doubtful. D.Confident.
5.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.
6.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.
7.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.

(2024·浙江湖州检测)The Amazon rainforest spreads across nine South American countries but most of it (60%) is in Brazil.Brazilian scientists think they might have found a way to reverse the damage caused by deforestation and turn farmland back into forest.The secret lies in ancient local knowledge of soil.
Amazonian dark earth (ADE) is a thick, black soil found deep in the Amazon rainforest, and it could help restore forests around the world.ADE is a kind of compost—a soil made from dead plants and animals.Various kinds of compost are sold in gardening centers around the world, but ADE is unique.It was created by indigenous people (the descendants of people who lived somewhere before another culture arrived and took over) from the Amazon between 2,000 and 2,500 years ago.The Amazonian people, today known as Amerindians, created ADE using charcoal from fires, animal bones, food waste and poo.It contains microbes, including bacteria that help to turn chemicals in the soil into useful nutrients that feed plants and trees.
Vast areas of the Amazon have been cut down, mostly to make way for grassland for raising cattle.Scientists are looking for a way to turn grassland back into rainforest and revive forest ecosystems.These support thousands of animal and plant species, many of them unique to the area.Forests also absorb lots of carbon dioxide, a gas that cause climate change.
To see if the Amazon's special soil could help, the scientists grew grasses and trees in ADE, regular earth and a mixture of both.Trees grown in ADE were up to six times taller than those in regular soil.ADE takes hundreds of years to create, so the scientists can't simply make more.Team member, Dr.Siu Mui Tsai, said that instead they want to try and “copy its characteristics”, especially its helpful microbes, and see if it could help to restore natural habitats.
8.What are Brazilian scientists trying to do?
A.To bring forests back. B.To measure damage.
C.To reduce farmland. D.To dig out ancient soil.
9.What made the Amazonian dark earth special?
A.Dead plants. B.Animal bones.
C.Food waste. D.Bacteria inside.
10.What is the main idea of paragraph 3?
A.The reasons for cutting down forests.
B.The benefits of raising cattle.
C.The significance of forest ecosystems.
D.The influence of climate change.
11.Which of the following might Dr.Siu agree with?
A.Amazonian dark earth is helpful to microbes.
B.Amazonian dark earth is produced in large quantities.
C.Microbes are beneficial to the revival of forests.
D.Microbes are the characteristics of the natural habitats.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇应用文。本文介绍了四个令人流连忘返的国家公园。
1.A 细节理解题。根据Arenal Volcano National Park部分中的“The park has a continuous active volcano.”和Yellowstone National park部分中的“It is also the continent's largest volcanic zone.”,尤其是关键词volcano和volcanic可知,这两个公园的共同点是都有许多火山。故选A。
2.B 细节理解题。根据 Jiuzhaigou Valley National Park部分中“It stands among five impressive colored lakes.”可知,在中国的九寨沟可以欣赏五光十色的湖泊。故选B。
3.B 细节理解题。根据Kilimanjaro National Park部分中“Most of all, it is Africa's highest mountain.All enthusiastic mountaineers dream to climb to the top of it.As a result, the Kilimanjaro National Park is most popular with them.”可知,Kilimanjaro National Park是登山人最喜爱的公园。故选B。

[语篇解读] 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。
4.D 观点态度题。根据第三段第二句“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。
5.C 推理判断题。根据第六段迪士尼董事长鲍勃·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乐园。”和第七段“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)吸引了亚洲观众。”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。
6.A 细节理解题。根据第八段第二句“当发现中国人没有最喜欢的迪士尼公主时,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。
7.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段“然而,中国的迪士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。
C
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了巴西科学家发现当地亚马孙森林中的黑土可能可以帮助人们恢复森林生态系统,这种黑土富含有益的微生物,有助于土壤中成分的转化,帮助植物的生长,但这种黑土形成所需的时间较长,因此科学家只能通过复刻其特征来尝试恢复自然栖息地。
8.A 细节理解题。根据第一段第二、三句“巴西科学家认为,他们可能已经找到了一种方法,可以扭转森林砍伐造成的破坏,让农田重新变成森林。秘密在于当地古老的土壤知识。”可知,这些科学家在尝试恢复被破坏的森林。故选A。
9.D 细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句“亚马孙人,今天被称为美洲印第安人,用木炭、动物骨头、食物垃圾和粪便创造了亚马孙黑土。它含有微生物,包括有助于将土壤中的化学物质转化为植物和树木所需的有用营养物质的细菌”。可知,亚马孙黑土的特别之处在于亚马孙人创造它的方法是使它最终含有一些细菌,有利于土壤成分的转化。故选D。
10.C 段落大意题。根据第三段第二三句“科学家们正在寻找一种将草原变回雨林并恢复森林生态系统的方法。这些系统滋养成千上万的动植物物种,其中许多是该地区独有的。森林还会吸收大量二氧化碳,这是一种导致气候变化的气体”。可知,本段主要介绍恢复森林生态系统带来的好处,包括滋养特有的生物,以及吸收二氧化碳,即森林生态系统的重要性。故选C。
11.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“团队成员Siu Mui Tsai博士说,相反,他们想尝试‘复制它的特征’,尤其是它的有益微生物,看看它是否有助于恢复自然栖息地。”可知,他希望通过创造与亚马孙黑土类似的物质,尤其是其中的有益微生物,来恢复自然栖息地。由此推知,他会赞同“微生物对森林的恢复是有益的”的观点。故选C。
