Disneyland calls itself the happiest place in the world, but to keep visitors happy in its five locations across the globe, each theme park is adjusted to cater to local cultures and tastes. Outside of the two original resort areas in the US, Disneyland in California and Walt Disney World in Florida, the Disneylands in Paris, Tokyo and Hong Kong offer subtly different layouts(布局) to make their millions of visitors each year feel at home.

Disneyland Paris

After excitedly entering Disneyland Paris, which opened in 1992, visitors can see an arcade(拱廊) that features a small replica(復(fù)制品) of the Statue of Liberty—a gift from France to the US in 1886, making it a fitting introduction to Europe’s only instance of this American theme park. The arcade also offers essential cover from the cold and rain that typically hit Pairs. As you venture further into Disneyland Paris, you will see a lot of European visionaries.

Tokyo Disneyland

Opened in 1983, Tokyo Disneyland is the third most visited of any theme park in the world after the two Disney parks in the US. Like Walt Disney World in Florida, Cinderella’s Castle is located at the center of the park, said to culture than Sleeping Beauty, whose castle is featured in the center of Disneyland California.

Hong Kong Disneyland

The Hong Kong Disneyland, opened in 2005, incorporates feng shui and traditional Chinese elements into its design to attract tourists from the Chinese mainland.

Feng shui balances the elements of wood, fire, earth, metal and water to create positive energy, and these elements can be seen throughout the theme park. Rocks represent stability and prevent good luck from flowing away, so two gigantic boulders (圓石) have been placed at the park’s entrance to stop energy from flowing out of the resort. Water stimulates fortune and wealth, and the theme park is full of lakes, ponds and streams—not to mention the large fountain featuring Disney characters placed at the main entrance of the park.

1.Which of the following is the third most visited theme park in the world?

A. Walt Disney World.

B. Disneyland Paris.

C. Hong Kong Disneyland.

D. Tokyo Disneyland.

2.According to the text, the Statue of Liberty replica in Disneyland Paris is to __________.

A. serve as an introduction to American Disneyland

B. reflect the historical relationship between France and the US

C. show Americans’ artistic taste and knowledge

D. ensure the visitors’ safety from all over the world

3.The passage is mainly about Disneyland theme parks’ ________.

Lisa Pina never thought she would need the fire safety training she received during her apprenticeship(學(xué)徒期) as a union painter and dry waller(筑墻工). On Friday morning, she was thanking God she had it.

On Thursday night, while Pina was babysitting her granddaughter, nephew and two nieces in her sister’s apartment, she smelled smoke and realized the apartment building was on fire. When her 4-year-old granddaughter Ilean Garcia began saying, “We’re going to die,” she knew she had to act. Pina, 39, first sealed the door, and then told all four children to get on the floor. After calling 911, she told the children to start singing and promised them all treats as soon as they reached safety. “I said, ‘OK, we’re going to lie down and we’re all going to play a game,’” Pina said. “We all started singing our ABCs and 123s. I was just trying to make it fun.” Pina patiently waited, and a few minutes later, Riverside County sheriff’s deputies (治安官的助手) arrived. Pina, Ilean, 8-year-old Gabriel Parga, 5-year-old Aubreyana Parga and 4-year-old Meriyah Parga were all trapped on the second floor as flames filled the first story. Pina did the only thing she could. She opened the window and dropped the children, one-by-one, into the arms of the sheriff’s deputies about 15 to 20 feet below. “I just needed to keep the kids calm so they wouldn’t be afraid,” Pina said. “I was deathly afraid inside, but I couldn’t let them know that.” Not long after dropping the children out of the window, fire-fighters arrived with a ladder and rescued her. Ten people were treated at the scene for suffering smoke, but nobody was seriously injured.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

3.What did Lisa Pina do before she called 911，in order to prevent the fire?

A. She let children get on the floor.

B. She opened the windows of the second floor.

C. She had children start singing.

D. She closed the door hard.

4.What do we know according to the passage?

Google’s data centres and the offices for its 60,000 staff will be powered entirely by renewable energy from next year,in what the company has called a “l(fā)andmark moment”.The internet giant is already the world’s biggest corporate buyer of renewable electricity,last year buying 44% of its power from wind and solar farms.Now it will be 100%,and an executive said it would no longer refuse to invest in nuclear power in the future.

Oman said it had taken Google five years to reach the 100% target,set in 2012,because of the complexity involved with negotiating power purchase agreements.The company’s biggest demand for energy is its data centres and it admits their overall thirst for power is growing.

Google was now looking to sign 10-year agreements for low-carbon power that was constant,such as hydro,biomass and nuclear.“We want to do contracts on renewable power,it could be biomass if the fuel source is steady and enough,it could be nuclear.We’re looking at all forms of low-carbon generation.”

But he said new nuclear power was “controversial”,the possible safety consequences were much more “dramatic” than with renewable sources,and the price was “much more difficult to guarantee” than when funding solar panels and wind turbines.“We don’t want to refuse to sign a nuclear agreement if it meets our goals of low price,safety,and other factors.We don’t want to rule that out,but today we can’t positively say there are nuclear projects out there that meet this standard,”he said.

The company’s 100% renewable energy does not mean Google is getting all its energy directly from wind and solar power,but that on an annual basis the amount it purchases from renewable sources matches the electricity its operations consume.

1.A “l(fā)andmark moment” for Google refers to 　　　.

A. its efforts in saving energy

B. its growing demand for employees

C. its progress in using renewable energy

D. its becoming the world’s biggest company

2.What made Google slow in achieving its target?

A. Negotiations of agreements. B. High consumption of energy.

C. Shortage of energy. D. Tight budgets.

3.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?

A. Nuclear power is an ideal choice.

B. Solar and wind power is not safe enough.

C. It’s unwise to invest solar and wind power.

D. Google is unlikely to use nuclear energy soon.

4.What is the purpose in writing this text?

A. To show Google’s profit goal in global market.

B. To talk about Google’s new move to use energy.

C. To recommend a new kind of renewable energy.

D. To urge the public to use renewable energy.
