The Happiest Place on Earth may soon be welcoming visitors again. On Wednesday, Disney CEO Bob Chapek announced that Shanghai Disneyland will reopen on May 11. But one of the new safety measures is phased (分阶段的) reopening. This means Disney will begin by gradually and partially reopening certain locations.

If you've ever been to a Disney theme park, especially during peak days, you know how crowded it can get and how necessary FastPasses are. On a "normal day" at Disneyland, park attendance is 65,000 people, according to Walt Disney Imagineering director Kim Irvine. So physical distancing and capacity measures are major focuses as Disney prepares to reopen. Dr. Hymel says that Disney will "conduct physical distancing guidelines based on guidance from health authorities."

The new measures will likely include a guest capacity (容量) based on state and federal guidelines. Disney is also exploring ways technology can help with social distancing-experiments in this aspect include using virtual queues at Disneyland and Walt Disney World in advance.

Other new measures include increased cleaning of high traffic areas. Disney will follow guidelines from the medical community and the government for improved screening procedures and prevention measures; this means guests will likely need facial masks. Disney Parks have already adopted new measures such as providing hand soaps and setting up hand washing stations.

Shanghai Disneyland has sold out all tickets for May 11. The theme park said that all tickets were gone in a matter of minutes after sales started at 8 am on Friday.

1.In order to reopen, Disney has decided to take some measures EXCEPT_________

A.following guidance from authorities

B.advocating waiting in line for tickets

C.cleaning high traffic areas more often

D.providing convenience for hand-wash

2.This passage is mainly about _________

A.the great popularity of Disney parks

B.the phased opening of Disney parks .

C.the new measures of Disney parks

D.the great changes of Disney parks

Walt Disney and Shanghai government have formally agreed to open up a Disney theme park in China's commercial capital.

Just days after the World Expo was closed, they agreed on plans for a joint venture(合资企业)to manage the project, expected to cover nearly eight square miles for the entire resort(度假胜地), the city government said in a statement. The cost is reportedly estimated at 25 billion yuan.

Plans call for the theme park to be a “strong international tourism resort” with a pleasant, low-carbon environment, the city said.A joint venture between local companies and Disney will be responsible for construction, management and operation of the Disney theme park，it said.

Some villagers were long ago moved off farmland in Chuansha, a part of Pudong district near the city's main international airport，to make way for the park.

Disney issued a statement confirming its discussions with the Shanghai government, saying, “We can confirm the statement from the Shanghai government that we have taken another step forward in the approval process.”

But the company said it was still awaiting final approval of the joint venture by the central government and completion of necessary procedures.

The six­month­long World Expo，which ended on Sunday，drew a record of 72 million visitors，mostly Chinese tourists.That event made it necessary for the city to build nearly a dozen new subway lines，new highways，airport upgrades and other modern facilities.

With the Disneyland project due to start，the city appears likely to continue its building boom(激增)．

The agreement on Friday came exactly a year after China's national planning agency approved the plans for the park­­a major step toward getting the project started.

The park will give Shanghai，the mainland's main financial and commercial centre，a new showcase.While the city is one of China's most modern and wealthy cities，it has relatively few big historic landmarks compared with ancient capitals like Beijing and Xi'an.

Disney has said the Shanghai resort will include a “Magic­Kingdom­style theme park with characteristics tailored to the Shanghai region.”

Disney has been expanding its presence in mainland China after opening a theme park in Hong Kong in 2005.That venue, which has suffered from disappointing attendance，is in the midst of Disney’s expansion as it intends to compete with the future theme park in Shanghai.

1.What do we know about the Disneyland project to be built in Shanghai?

A．The cost is more than 25 billion yuan.

B．The design is environmentally friendly.

C．It will be built by Walt Disney Company.

D．It is as large as the World Expo Garden in area.

2.What can we learn from Disney's statement?

A．The construction of the theme park is in process.

B．They need approval from the central government.

C．The joint venture has completed necessary procedures.

D．Disney didn't think their discussions with the Shanghai government was helpful.

3.We can infer from the last paragraph that________.

A．visitors often go to Hong Kong Disneyland these days because of its expansion

B．the Shanghai theme park should learn from Hong Kong's

C．Hong Kong Disneyland will face more challenges

D．Hong Kong Disneyland is well managed

How to save money to visit Shanghai Disneyland?

The “happiest place on earth” is a top destination on many families' bucket lists. But taking a vacation to Disney World can be difficult to do on a budget. There are some considerations that you can make to reduce the cost of your Disney World vacation.

1. Buy Souvenirs in Advance

Disney has influenced practically every industry, which makes it easy to find Disney items anywhere, from Walmart, Target, and your local grocery store to department stores and Amazon. You can save a lot of money by purchasing items before your trip at these less-expensive places than at Disneyland.

2. Make an Autograph Book

An autograph book is seen as a must-have by many Disneyland enthusiasts and is a memory you can take home with you. These books can cost anywhere from $7.95 to $19.95 at the Disney Store and up to $30 for the latest-and-greatest autograph book at Disneyland, such as the park’s 60th anniversary edition. Other choices can get the job done for under $5. For example, you can buy a small photo album; cute pads or notebooks.

When to go：The Magic Kingdom，which was opened in 1971，was the first theme park at Walt Disney World. All Disney World theme parks are open 365 days a year，although opening and closing time for each park changes from day to day.

If you plan to make a trip to the Magic Kingdom without kids，try to visit on a school day to avoid the largest crowds. If you need to visit during a school vacation，try at least to avoid the week between Christmas and New Year and the Fourth of July.

If you are not staying at a Disney World hotel，avoid visiting the Magic Kingdom on its Extra Magic Hours days，as Disney’s hotel guests get into the park early on those days，and visitors who arrive at the Magic Kingdom’s normal opening time have to wait for a long time.

Before you go：Buy your Walt Disney World tickets online at Disney World’s website. For advice on picking the right ticket，see our guide to Disney World tickets.

You will also need to call in advance to make lunch and/or dinner reservations(预定). Disney accepts reservations up to 180 days in advance，but you need contact 1－407－WDW－DINE.

When you get there：Plan to arrive at the Magic Kingdom’s front gate before the park opens in the morning. Keep in mind that to reach the Magic Kingdom，you must park at Disney World’s Transportation and Ticket Center parking lot，ride at tram to the TTC，then take a ferry boat across the Seven Seas Lagoon to the Magic Kingdom. It makes for a fantastic approach，but takes extra time. Give yourself an extra hour in the summer and half an hour during the school year.

1.For an adult，the best time to visit the Magic Kingdom is ________.

A．on the weekend

B．on a school day

C．during a school holiday

D．around Christmas

C．give advice on making a trip to the Magic Kingdom

D．attract more visitors to the Magic Kingdom

As we all know, there are plenty of different parks to visit in the UK. All theme parks in Britain have cafes, restaurants, picnic areas and gift shops, so you’ll still have plenty to see and do when you and the kids have been on enough rides. There are usually smaller “funfair” rides and games as well, so younger children won’t get bored. Several theme parks also have other attractions next to them, e.g. water parks often open all year round, unlike the theme parks.

Whenever you are in Britain, there’s likely to be a theme park within one or two hours’drive, bus ride or train journey. Several theme parks even have accommodation (膳宿) so you can stay for a day or two if you want to make a trip into a short holiday.

Prices for UK theme parks vary considerably; some have an entrance price which allows you to go on all the rides, while in others you have to pay for every ride individually. It can also make a difference whether you go during peak time or not. For example, tickets always cost more during school holidays and weekends than they do during the weekdays.

Theme parks always get very busy during the summer months, so if you don’t like crowds it’s usually a good idea to go earlier or later in the year!

If you’re thinking of visiting a UK theme park, it’s worth having a look for special offers on tickets. Products such as chocolate bars and cereals sometimes have “buy one get one free” offers on theme park tickets, so keep a look out in shops and supermarkets.

1.This passage mainly talks about all the following EXCEPT ________.

A.things to do B.prices for theme parks

C.rules to obey D.special offers

C.have a good time D.get something free

A.Avoid the busiest months.

B.Go earlier or later in the daytime.

C.Choose one with few visitors.

D.Go there when no one is in it

4.The best title for the text would be ________.

A.What to Do in the Theme Park B.Theme Parks in the UK
