It may be the happiest place on Earth, but the Magic Kingdom has become a little more restrictive(限制的) for the children hoping to enjoy Disney’s US parks on their own. Beginning on March 23 of this year, anyone under the age of 14 must go there with someone over 14. If a worker who works at the front gates sees a child who looks younger than 14 without a person who looks older than that, he will have a talk with the tourist. If he is sure the tourist is under 14, his parents will be contacted to pick them up.
Before this, Disney did not have any age restrictions(限制) for tourists. The new rule was set up after Disney conducted a survey of its tourists and contacted various child welfare association(福利機構(gòu)). They both thought it was necessary to have the age requirement. The American Red Cross suggested that 14 is the minimum(最小的) age for babysitters(保姆).
News of the age restriction comes nearly a week. A child on vacation with his father and mother fell into a pool and died at Disneyland Pop Century Resort(度假村). Anthory Johnson was swimming in the hotel pool with a group of children including his little brother and a cousin at about 9:30 pm when the accident happened. Witnesses said the teen was playing in the water on Sunday evening without family members. A cousin found him under water around 9:10 pm and told others in the group who pulled him out of water. Orange Country Sheriff’s officials said after Anthony was taken to nearby hospital, he died several days later.
小題1:How does the worker know the child is under 14?
A.By contacting with his parents.
B.By seeing if the child comes on his own.
C.By seeing if the child comes with his parents.
D.By looking at the child’s appearance and talking with him.
小題2:What ISN’T the reason for setting up the new rule?
A.14 is the minimum age for babysitters.
B.Children like to play in Disney’s US parks with their parents.
C.Tourists think it’s necessary to have the age requirement.
D.A child on vacation with his parents died in a pool at Disney’s Pop Century Resort.
小題3:What’s the main idea of this passage?
A.The happiest place for children.
B.A new rule of age requirement about children who go to Disneyland.
C.A survey of age requirement about children who go to Disneyland.
D.A child who fell into a pool and died at Disneyland.

小題1:D
小題2:B
小題3:B

試題分析:這篇文章主要講了低于14歲的孩子沒有大于14歲的人陪同就不能去迪斯尼樂園。關(guān)于年齡限制的規(guī)定制定出來已經(jīng)將近一個星期。
小題1:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù) If a worker who works at the front gates sees a child who looks younger than 14 without a person who looks older than that, he will have a talk with the tourist.句意:如果一個前門工作的工作人員看到一個孩子小于14歲,且沒有一個大于14歲的人陪同,他會和這個游客交談。由此可知,工作人員是通過看孩子的外貌和交談來判定孩子是否低于14歲。故選D。
小題2:推理判斷題。孩子們喜歡和他們的父母親在迪斯尼樂園玩。這個不是制定新規(guī)定的原因。可知應(yīng)選B。
小題3:主旨大意題。這篇文章主要講了低于14歲的孩子沒有大于14歲的人陪同就不能去迪斯尼樂園。故選B。

If cars had wings, they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2011.The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to make such a car-plane called “Transition”, to customers(顧客) by the end of 2012. “It’s the next ‘wow’ vehicle,”said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh. “Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris don’t fly.”
The car-plane has wings that unfold for flying—a process the company says takes one minute-and fold back up for driving. A runway is still needed to take off and land.
The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is both. The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.
The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as an easier and cheaper way to fly.They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports: You drive the car to the airport and then you’re good to go.When you land, you fold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you don’t have to store it at an airport—you leave it in the car park at home.
The car-plane is designed to fly under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum take-off weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers.
The Transition’s price tag: $194,000, But there may be something else you need to pay, like a radio, transponder or GPS and so on.
So far, the company has more than 70 orders. “We’re working very closely with them, but there are still some remaining steps,” Brown said.
小題1:We can learn from the first paragraph that _________.
A.car-planes will be popular in 2012
B.people might drive a car-plane in 2012
C.both Transition and Ferrari can take off and land
D.Richard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts
小題2:According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A.The car-plane needs a runway to take off and land.
B.A car-plane with radio and GPS will cost $194,000
C.The car-plane may fly at 8,000 feet
D.People can park the car-plane in the car park at their home.
小題3:Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “unfold” on this passage?
A.startB.spreadC.coverD.travel
小題4:What’s the best title for the passage?
A.Cars With Wings May come true soon
B.A Ferrari or a Car Plane
C.A Easier and Cheaper Way to Fly
D.Cars With Wings Can Fly as Fast as Planes

A new plan for getting children to and from school is being started by a local government in Eastern England. This could end many parents’ worries fearful for their children’s safety on the roads. 
Until now the local government have only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, as long as the arrangement will not lose money and children taking part will attend their nearest school.
The new plan is to be fired out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington School. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the local government said in the past that they would not undertake to provide free transport to the school . But now they have agreed to offer a sum of money for a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the school’s headmaster. Between 50 and 60% parents have said they would like their children to take part . Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a government official has said the cost to parents should be less than £20 a term. They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to  Impington . The same bus would now just make one more journey to pick up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in had asked if transport could be provided for their children to see if they would like to take part in the new plan. 
小題1:What is the aim(目的) of the plan?
A.To prevent the students’ road accidents
B.To relieve the traffic pressure
C.To save time for the parents and students
D.To help the parents save money
小題2:How can the local government arrange the new bus service at a low cost? 
A.By letting the bus run in the morning only.
B.By limiting the number of the students
C.By getting the support from the headmaster
D.By linking the new bus service with the existing one
小題3:Which of the following is possible if the plan is carried out? 
A.The bus company will make much more money
B.The children can choose whatever school they like
C.The parents can get rid of their worries
D.The students in Impington School can have free bus rides
小題4:This passage is most probably _____ 
A.a(chǎn) personal letter.B.a(chǎn)n advertisemen
C.headmaster’s report.D.a(chǎn) newspaper article

Singapore, July 12-many people enjoy chewing(咀嚼) gum, but in 1992 Singapore decided to make it against the law. The government said that people were not careful about throwing away used gum. Instead, they dropped it on sidewalks and on the streets where it made a big mess. Chewing gum also got stuck in the doors of the underground trains so that the doors didn’t close properly. This meant the trains didn’t run on time. Singapore said that people had to give up chewing gum or pay a lot of money to the government. During the time without chewing gum, the streets and underground trains of Singapore were clean.
Now the government of Singapore is changing the rules a little. Some dentists say that chewing sugarless gum can help take care of people’s teeth. Now the government says that people will be able to buy special kinds of gum at drugstores for health reasons. Other kinds of gum are still not allowed.
