Disneyland has always been the dream vacation...

Disneyland has always been the dream vacation for kids throughout the world. However, Shanghai Disneyland has recently caught people’s attention through a lawsuit(官司).

The suit was brought by a college student Wang, who is from East China University of Political Science and Law. She refused after being told to either throw away the snacks she had brought in the backpack or eat them up. Wang argued with the park security and then made phone calls to the police and to official hot lines like 12345 and 12315, however, none worked. In order to get into the park, she gave up the snacks, which were worth 46.3 yuan.

Wang brought the case to the People’s Court Pudong New Area, where the theme park is located. The case was heard on April 23. Shanghai Disneyland replied in August with its “no outside food” policy and said that the rule is “consistent(一致) with many other theme parks across China” and “guests are welcome to enjoy their own food and drinks outside the park”.

This is not the first time that Disney has been accused. In June last year, a lawyer Jun accused Shanghai Disneyland of overpriced food in the park. The next month, Liu Demin, a father accused the park of charging his ten-year-old son a full fare ticket instead of half price.

Disney has owned 6 theme park resorts all over the world. Three parks in America and France do not have such rules as “no outside food” policy, while the three in China and Japan, as Asian countries, don’t allow tourists to take in outside food. In addition, customers are not informed about the rule when they book park tickets on the computer. No tips are listed on the official website of Disney. People can only get to know the certain rule at the end of the page when they buy tickets through smart phones.

1.In _________, customers can bring food and drinks into Disneyland.

A.Paris. B.Hong Kong. C.Shanghai. D.Tokyo.

2.What is the right order of the following activities?

① Wang gave up her snacks and got into the park.

② Shanghai Disney park replied with its “no outside food” policy.

③ Wang called the police and official hot lines.

④ Wang was refused to get into the park with snacks in her backpack.

⑤ Wang brought the case to the court.

A.②④③①⑤ B.④③①⑤② C.④①③⑤② D.①②④③⑤

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Wang’s case this year was the first time that Disney has been accused.

B.The college student Wang accused Shanghai Disneyland of its expensive food.

C.Guests are allowed to enjoy their own food and drinks outside Shanghai Disneyland.

D.Customers know about “no outside food” policy at the end of the computer page.

The young turtle has been swimming for three months now in the same warm shallow bay, dreaming of calm water and plenty of food. But as the days begin to shorten and the night comes earlier and earlier, the water grows colder. It drops to fifty degrees Fahrenheit(华氏). Swimming is harder. Its heartbeat slows—and almost stops. The young turtle is in danger of losing its life.

Ten days before Thanksgiving, Max Nolan, a ten-year-old boy, and his mother begin their patrol. The Nolans are among volunteers who walk Cape Cod’s beaches during November and December to search for turtles who are often cold and trapped and seem dead—turtles whose lives they may be able to save.

Max and his mother and the other volunteers do an important job. All sea turtles are threatened or endangered. Among them Kemp’s ridleys are the most endangered. Right now on our planet there are fewer than eight thousand Kemp’s ridley turtles left.

Max is far in front of his mother when he sees a turtle washed up by the surf. He runs up to it and shouts to his mom, “Got one!” The turtle is cold. Its eyes are open, but the turtle is not moving at all. It might be dead or still alive.

Max remembers the instructions given to all the volunteers. He picks up the turtle, which weighs about five pounds, and moves it above the high-tide mark to keep it from washing out to sea. Then he runs to find seaweed to protect it from the wind. He finds a stick to mark where it is, and next, he and his mother go to the nearest telephone and call the sea-turtle hot line for help.

1.The young turtle is in danger of losing its life because ________.

A. it has been swimming for three months

B. it dreams of calm water and plenty of food

C. the water drops to fifty degrees Fahrenheit

D. the days get longer and the nights come earlier

2.The underlined word “Patrol” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.

A. swimming in the sea

B. travelling to the seaside

C. enjoying Thanksgiving with others

D. walking along the beaches for turtles

3.In order to prevent the turtle from washing out to sea, Max ________.

A. runs to find seaweed

B. calls the sea-turtle hot line

C. finds a stick to mark where it is

D. moves it above the high-tide mark

Although it is quite common for Chinese people to dream of an empowered or a prosperous(繁荣) China, most people also have their own dreams. Throughout China’s thousands of years of history, these “China dreams” have always existed. Do you have a “China dream”?

It has been a dream for 30 years but now the world’s first flying car is set to hit the roads this year.

Ever since the “Back to the Future” movies lit up our screens in the 1980s， designers have dream of cars that could take to the sky at the push of a button. And now pilots can order their own “roadable” plane for just t 127，000.

The plane， which has fold- out wings that span（翼展）17.5f， has a range（连续的） flying distance of 460 miles and can be up to 115 mph. Back on the land， it can also travel at “highway speeds” in car mode（状态）

Fuelling the 19 ft long plane couldn't be simpler-you just drive it into a petrol station and fill it up.

A spokeswoman said，"You can keep your light-sport airplane in your garage. But because it needs a short runway to take to the air， you will have to drive to your local airport， fly up to 460 miles， land， and drive directly to your destination. You will always be ready to drive or fly."

The spokeswoman added， "Never let bad weather change your trip. You can simply divert（改道）and continue on the ground until the weather clears.”

There’s no risk to you----this is only the chance for you to be the first at your home field to unfold your wings and fly into the future.

A.can fly at “highway speeds” in car mode B.is a kind of car with fold-out wings

C.pilots can’t afford a “roadable” plane D.cars can fly in the sky

Getting electricity(电)has always been a problem for the 173 people living in Nuevo Saposoa, a small village in Peru, South America. However, things went from bad to worse in March 2015 after heavy rains damaged(损坏)the only power cables(电缆)in the area. The villagers were forced to use oil lamps, which are not only expensive but also dangerous because of the harmful gases they produce.

Luckily, researchers at the University of Technology(UT)in Lima, Peru heard about their problem and found a wonderful solution(解决方法).They made a lamp that can be powered by plants and soil, both of which can be easily found in the Amazonian rainforest where the village lies. The lamp takes energy from a plant growing in a wooden box and uses it to light up an LED light bulb.

While that may sound amazing and even impossible, the science behind the idea is quite simple. As plants create their food (using the sun's energy, water and chemicals from the soil )，they also produce waste which they return to the soil. Tiny animals in the soil eat this waste and they produce electrons一the building blocks of electrical energy. The UT team put special sticks inside the soil to get the energy and keep it in the lamp's batteries for later use. The researchers say a single charge can power a 50-watt LED light for two hours 一enough time for local villagers to get their evening work done.

The university gave ten Plant Lamps to the villagers of Nuevo Saposoa in October 2015. So far, they have been a huge success! Elmer Ramirez, the UT professor who invented the lamp，believes the Plant Lamp could help improve the lives of many people, especially small rainforest communities. 42% of whom have no electricity.

1.What is true about the Plant Lamp?

A. It can be made by local people.

B. It is much easier to use than oil lamps.

C. It can produce all the electricity the villagers need.

D. The things it needs to make electricity are easy to find.

2.The Plant Lamp's inventor believes it could be most helpful for 　　　　　　 .

A. rainforest communities　　 B. cars

C. poor people in cities　　 D. farmers

3.What is the purpose of the passage?

A. To report on a new invention
