Ⅰ.阅读理解
Mickey Mouse welcomed visitors to his new home in Shanghai on June 16, 2016.
The park opened with fireworks.
Joe Schott, president and general manager of the 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 of visitors 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 just build Disneyland; we built China's Disneyland,” said Bob Iger, Disney's chairman.
There's a traditional Chinese teahouse featuring local food. The Lion King performed in Mandarin for the first time, and characters worn Chinese opera garb(服装) to appeal to the Asian audience.
In the castle, not only do guests walk through, as they do in other Disney parks, but 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 is 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 a float in the parade.
( D )1.What's Joe Schott's attitude to Shanghai Disney Resort?
A.Disappointed. B.Concerned.
C.Doubtful. D.Confident.
( C )2.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.
( A )3.Why does China's Disneyland have all kinds of princesses?
A.Because Chinese people have no certain favourite Disney princess.
B.Because Chinese people don't know any princess characters in Disney movies.
C.Because Chinese people believe “the more, the better”.
D.Because parks in other countries are based on the Sleeping Beauty story.
( C )4.What is the purpose of giving the example of Mulan?
A.To show the Chinese character of Disneyland.
B.To show it is an important part of Chinese culture.
C.To show the Disneyland has not reflected enough Chinese culture.
D.To show the Disneyland has too few Chinese character films.
【语篇解读】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。同时也提到了一些令人遗憾的地方:对中国元素还是有一些没有做到位的地方。
1.D 推理判断题。根据第三段中他说的话“我可以向你们保证,还有很多东西没有揭露,我迫不及待地想在未来的岁月里与大家分享这一切。”可推断出,Joe Schott对上海迪士尼乐园的态度是充满信心的。故选D。
2. C 推理判断题。根据第六段“‘We didn't just build Disneyland; we built China's Disneyland,’ said Bob Iger, Disney's chairman.(迪士尼董事长鲍勃·伊格尔表示:‘我们不只是在建造迪士尼乐园,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》首次用普通话演出,演员身穿中国戏曲服装吸引亚洲观众。”可知,提到的中国茶馆、当地食物、中国戏曲服装等都在说明上海迪士尼乐园是融入了中国文化的迪士尼乐园。故选C。
3.A 细节理解题。根据第八段中的“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,因为没有特定的最受中国人喜爱的迪士尼公主,所以在上海迪士尼乐园有迪士尼电影中所有的公主。故选A。
4.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,它既没有自己的骑乘节目,也没有舞台剧。这个角色只是以一尊雕像和在游行队伍中的彩车出现。”可知,文中提到《花木兰》主要是说明中国的迪士尼乐园没有充分反映中国文化。故选C。
Ⅱ.七选五
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
[2024·武汉市第一中学模拟] Standing on a hill overlooking Cliveden Gardens on a sunny winter day, its darkgreen lake surrounded by centuriesold trees took my breath away. 1.__A__ It's just a local park near London that I'd never heard of during my eight years living in the UK. As I admired the serene(宁静的) garden, it taught me a lesson about the British culture of understatement.
“The English landscape is more beautiful because its beauty is understated,” my friend Will said to me later as we walked through an exhibition at Tate Britain. He pointed to a painting of a peaceful countryside. “This is the landscape I grew up with,” he said. Unlike grand waterfalls or wild forests, this scenery doesn't shout about its beauty. 2.__E__
I wonder if Chinese tourists will explore beyond London. 3.__D__ Indeed, Oxford and Cambridge and the beloved Lake District National Park are some iconic symbols of Britain. But it would be a pity if they miss out on the lesserknown parts of the English landscape.
4.__F__ I remember a straightA classmate once telling me he “survived exams” and another friend from Oxford introducing himself as “studying in the countryside”. This modesty also has its mirror in Chinese culture. I remember my parents' telling me to work hard but not to brag(吹嘘) about my achievements. Chinese culture is full of proverbs such as “real gold will shine sooner or later”, to encourage longterm dedication to one's chosen area of expertise.
Experiencing both cultures, I've realised that the English and Chinese both express achievements with understatement. 5.__G__ It reflects the unspoken charm in both British and Chinese traditions. And it's an offthebeatenpath attraction well worth exploration.
A.Cliveden isn't a famous holiday place.
B.Rather, its beauty is reserved for the locals only.
C.I've been impressed by British humour all the time.
D.They tend to prefer places with a strong reputation.
E.But the more I looked, the more I saw its quiet elegance.
F.Over the years, I've become familiar with British modesty.
G.This mix makes me appreciate the unusual beauty of Cliveden.
【语篇解读】文章主要描述了克莱夫登花园的美丽以及花园带给作者的感悟。
1.A 根据上文“Standing on a hill overlooking Cliveden Gardens on a sunny winter day, its darkgreen lake surrounded by centuriesold trees took my breath away.(在一个阳光明媚的冬日,站在山顶上俯瞰克莱夫登花园,深绿色的湖泊被百年古树环绕,这让我惊叹不已。)”以及下文“It's just a local park near London that I'd never heard of during my eight years living in the UK.(它只是伦敦附近的一个当地公园,我在英国生活的八年里从未听说过它。)”可知,A选项“克莱夫登不是一个著名的度假胜地。”承上启下,符合语境。故选A。
2.E 根据上文“‘The English landscape is more beautiful because its beauty is understated,’ my friend Will said to me later as we walked through an exhibition at Tate Britain. He pointed to a painting of a peaceful countryside. ‘This is the landscape I grew up with,’ he said. Unlike grand waterfalls or wild forests, this scenery doesn't shout about its beauty.(‘英国的风景更美,因为它的美是低调的,’后来我们参观泰特不列颠美术馆的一个展览时,我的朋友威尔对我说。他指着一幅描绘宁静乡村的画。‘这是我成长的环境,’他说。与大瀑布或野生森林不同,这里的风景并不张扬它的美丽。)”可知,E选项“但我看得越多,就越能看到它宁静的优雅。”承接上文,符合语境。故选E。
3.D 根据上文“I wonder if Chinese tourists will explore beyond London.(我想知道中国游客是否会去伦敦以外的地方旅游。)”以及下文“Indeed, Oxford and Cambridge and the beloved Lake District National Park are some iconic symbols of Britain. But it would be a pity if they miss out on the lesserknown parts of the English landscape.(的确,牛津大学和剑桥大学以及深受人们喜爱的湖区国家公园都是英国的标志性象征。但如果他们错过了英国风景中鲜为人知的部分,那就太遗憾了。)”可知,D选项“他们倾向于更喜欢名声好的地方。”符合语境,选项中的They指代上文中的Chinese tourists。故选D。
4.F 根据下文“I remember a straightA classmate once telling me he ‘survived exams’ and another friend from Oxford introducing himself as ‘studying in the countryside’. This modesty also has its mirror in Chinese culture. I remember my parents' telling me to work hard but not to brag about my achievements. Chinese culture is full of proverbs such as ‘real gold will shine sooner or later’, to encourage longterm dedication to one's chosen area of expertise.(我记得有一次一个全优的同学曾经告诉我,他‘挺过了考试’,另一个牛津的朋友介绍自己是‘在农村学习’。这种谦虚在中国文化中也有反映。我记得我的父母告诉我要努力学习,但不要吹嘘自己的成就。中国文化中充满了‘真金迟早会发光’这样的谚语,鼓励人们长期致力于自己选择的专业领域。)”可知,本段的主旨是关于谦逊的,所以F选项“这些年来,我已经熟悉了英国人的谦逊。”符合语境,选项中的modesty为关键信息。故选F。
5.G 根据上文“Experiencing both cultures, I've realised that the English and Chinese both express achievements with understatement.(经历了这两种文化,我意识到英国人和中国人都用低调来表达成就。)”以及下文“It reflects the unspoken charm in both British and Chinese traditions. And it's an offthebeatenpath attraction well worth exploration.(它反映了中英两国传统中不可言说的魅力。这是一个人迹罕至的景点,非常值得探索。)”可知,作者经历了两种文化,且都强调低调,所以G选项“这种混合使我欣赏到克利夫登不同寻常的美。”符合语境。故选G。

【语篇解读】文章介绍了美国恶地国家公园的特别之处以及参观游览的注意事项。
1.beds 考查名词的数。句意:恶地国家公园是南达科他州西南部最受欢迎的景点之一,拥有世界上最丰富的化石层之一。根据“one of+名词复数”可知,空处应填所给词的复数形式。故填beds。
2.to detect 考查非谓语动词。句意:科学家们认为,3 300万年前,一个水坑位于恶地公园,干旱迫使哺乳动物长途跋涉去寻找水源。此处应用不定式表目的,即动物长途跋涉的目的是去发现水源。故填to detect。
3.lived 考查时态。句意:古代的马、海龟和无角犀牛曾经生活在这里。根据副词once(曾经)可知,此处陈述过去的事情,应用一般过去时。故填lived。
4.to 考查介词。句意:如今,这个公园主要是大角羊、羚羊和鹿等哺乳动物的家园,它们在公园的244 000 英亩土地上游荡。结合句意,此处表达“是……的家园,是……的所在地”,用be home to。故填to。
5.which 考查定语从句。句意同上。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是mammals,从句缺少主语,应用关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
6.rarest 考查形容词的最高级。句意:该公园也是世界上最稀有的哺乳动物之一,濒危的黑足鼬的重新引入地。根据“one of+形容词最高级+名词复数”可知,此处应用rare的最高级。故填rarest。
7.camping 考查非谓语动词。句意:游客可以享受在400米至160千米长的八条路线上徒步旅行,并享受在景色优美的雪松山口露营地露营。空处和上文的hiking并列作动词enjoy的宾语,因此空处也应用动名词形式。故填camping。
8.a 考查冠词。句意:首先,提前申请通行证。pass作“通行证”讲时是可数名词,此处表泛指,应用不定冠词,且pass以辅音音素开头。故填a。
9.strongly 考查副词。句意:强烈推荐使用地图,地图可在书店购买。修饰动词recommend应用副词形式。故填strongly。
10.are banned 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:此外,在任何情况下都禁止篝火。句子陈述客观事实,且主语campfires和ban之间是被动关系,应用一般现在时的被动语态,主语campfires为复数,所以谓语动词用复数形式。故填are banned。
