Disneyland will bring you into a magical world and make your childhood dreams come true. Travelling through space, visiting a pirate ship, or meeting an adorable fairytale or cartoon character are all possible at Disneyland. As you wander around the fantasy amusement park, you may see Snow White or Mickey Mouse in a parade or even on the street. Of course, Disneyland also has many exciting rides to amuse you, from enormous swinging ships to scary free-fall drops. Dollywood, in the beautiful Smoky Mountains in southeastern USA, is unique because it shows and celebrates America’s traditional southeastern culture. Famous country music groups put on performances there all year round, indoors and outdoors. People come from all over America to see skilled workers make wood, glass, and iron objects in the old-fashioned way. Riding on the only steam engine still working in the southeastern United States is a special treat. And for those who like rides, Dollywood has a superb old wooden roller coaster, Thunderhead. Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in Zhuhai, China, is one of the leading ocean-themed parks in the world. Here you can walk under the Whale Shark Aquarium—the world’s largest—and see up to 20,000 fish, in addition to a whale shark 68 metres in length. Watching the dolphin and sea lion shows is both educational and fun. Of course, you can also see all kinds of interesting animals, including polar bears. The park has more rides than you can imagine: join a water fight against pirates, get turned upside down by an exciting roller coaster, or get wet in one of the water rides! 21. What is Dollywood most famous for? A．Its pirate ships. B．Its space. C．Its rides. D．Its culture. 22. What do the three theme parks mentioned in the text have in common? A．They all have rides.

For years, he thought his life would stay unchanged forever — busy with endless table orders and low-paid daily work, with no chance to try new things or realize personal dreams. He used to believe he was not smart enough to learn difficult knowledge, so he never planned any long-term self-improvement. Everything changed on a rainy afternoon when a foreign tourist tried to ask for food recommendations in English. Unable to understand a single word, Carlos felt extremely embarrassed and disappointed about himself. That unpleasant experience pushed him to make a life-changing decision: he would start learning English in his spare time no matter how hard it was. Without money for expensive training courses, Carlos made full use of small free time every day. He kept an English notebook in his uniform pocket and memorized new words while waiting for customers or having short breaks between meals. After closing the restaurant late at night, he watched free English learning videos online for one hour before sleep. In the first six months, he met lots of difficulties: confusing grammar rules, easy-to-forget vocabulary and weak listening skills made him want to give up many times. But the memory of that awkward day always pulled him back to keep going. Two years later, great changes took place in Carlos’s life. Not only could he communicate fluently with foreign guests, but he also began posting short English stories about his working experiences online. Gradually, he gained hundreds of followers from different countries. What surprised him most was a part-time online translator job offer he received last winter. This long learning journey brought far more than language skills. Carlos realized the biggest discovery was himself: he was capable of overcoming challenges and creating new possibilities as long as he held on to his goals. 24. What made Carlos decide to start learning English? A．His wish to find a well-paid job. B．An embarrassing experience with a tourist. C．The advice given by his foreign customers. D．His desire to quit the boring job as a waiter. 25. How did Carlos learn English? A．By borrowing textbooks from a library. B．By asking foreign customers to teach him daily. C．By using his spare time and free online resources. D．By memorizing new words when serving customers. 26. What did Carlos benefit most from English learning? A．He got a part-time online job. B．He became the manager of the restaurant. C．He had better awareness of his potential. D．He earned great fame by opening classes. 27. Which words can best describe Carlo’s growth experience? A．Risky and eventful. B．Inspiring and fruitful. C．Relaxing and unforgettable. D．Unlucky and stormy. C Teatime means much more than enjoying a warm cup of tea. Different cultures combine tea with food or snacks, and teatime becomes a special social event. The story of English afternoon tea began with Anna Russell, the 7th Duchess of Bedford. In the 18th and 19th centuries, most English people only ate two big meals every day: breakfast and a late supper. There was a long hungry break between meals. The Duchess had a good idea to solve this problem. She invited friends to have cakes, sandwiches and tea between four and five o’clock. Fine china cups and silver tableware made this small meal feel important. Soon afternoon tea became widely popular. It quickly turned into a fashionable social activity. Even today, afternoon tea still plays an important role in British social life. It is a great chance for people to meet, talk and enjoy food together. Yum cha is another famous teatime custom from southern China. Yum cha means “drink tea”. People go to restaurants to enjoy small bite-sized dim sum with family and friends. It is a relaxing time to catch up with loved ones. The best time for yum cha is late morning, known as brunch. This tradition started thousands of years ago. Teahouses along the Silk Road first offered tea for tired travellers. Later, teahouses began to serve snacks, and yum cha was born. 28. Why did the Duchess of Bedford invent afternoon tea? A．She wanted to create a new job for cooks. B．She felt hungry during the long gap between two daily meals. C．She hoped to sell expensive china and silver. D．She planned to hold big evening parties. 29. What can we learn about yum cha? A．People only drink tea without food. B．It is a social custom from northern China. C．Dim sum are small bite-sized dishes served with tea. D．It started in modern restaurants 100 years ago. 30. What do afternoon tea and yum cha have in common? A．Both are social occasions for people to meet and chat. B．Both only use silver plates and fine china cups. C．Both take place in the late afternoon. D．Both were born on the Silk Road. 31. What is the best title for the passage? A．Famous Tea Customs from Two Cultures B．How to Make British Afternoon Tea C．The History of the Silk Road D．Different Snacks for Western Meals D Nowadays many people have got used to taking short videos on mobile phones whenever they go sightseeing. However, a new rule at some famous scenic spots asks visitors not to shoot short videos for commercial purposes without official permission. Some tourists feel confused. They argue that it is their right to record and share beautiful views online. On the other hand, park managers explain that many commercial video--makers bring large filming equipment, occupy viewing platforms for hours and block ordinary visitors. Some internet influencers even ask other tourists to move away so that they can get perfect shots. As a result, ordinary visitors cannot enjoy the scenery comfortably. Besides occupying public space, uncontrolled commercial shooting also damages natural environments. Some video creators step onto grassland or break branches just to get wonderful images. Park workers have spent plenty of time repairing the damaged plants. This new rule does not mean a complete ban. Private tourists can still take photos and short videos for their own memory and post them on social media for free. Only those who make money out of scenic--spot videos need to apply in advance. The rule aims to balance the needs of ordinary visitors and commercial creators, and better protect natural resources. 32. What is the new rule about according to paragraph1? A．Tourists cannot take photos inside scenic areas. B．Commercial short--video shooting needs official approval. C．Influencers are not allowed to visit tourist attractions. D．Visitors must hand in their mobile phones at the gate. 33. What problem is caused by some commercial video--makers? A．They sell tickets illegally inside the park. B．They often argue with park managers over tickets. C．They take up public viewing space and harm plants. D．They spread false information about the scenic spots online. 34. Which of the following actions is still allowed under the new rule? A．An influencer shooting paid advertisements without permission. B．A visitor taking personal videos and sharing them for fun. C．A video team setting up lights on the grass for commercial shooting. D．A creator blocking the platform to finish one‑hour filming. 35. What is the writer’s attitude towards the new rule? A．Supportive. B．Doubtful. C．Unclear. D．Disapproving. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分） 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。 How to Build Self-Confidence Self-confidence is an essential quality for a successful life.
