26、   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 opened 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's Day 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 or dinner reservations. Disney accepts reservations up to 180 days in advance，but you need to contact 1­407­WDW­DINE.

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 Centre parking lot，ride a tram(有轨电车) to the TTC，then take a ferry boat across the Seven Seas Lagoon to the Magic Kingdom. It makes a fantastic approach，but takes extra time. Give yourself an extra hour in the summer and half an hour during the school year.

【1】We learn from the passage that ________.

A. children are not allowed to visit Disney World on New Year's Day

B. Disney World theme parks have the same opening and closing times

27、   The iconic symbol of Paris, the Eiffel Tower opened to the public on March 31, 1889, and the graceful metal structure has continued to attract the world for 130 years. But some little known facts about the Eiffel Tower may surprise you.

The original intention was for the structure, which was built for the 1889 World’s Fair, to be demolished after 20 years. But engineer Gustave Eiffel later arranged to have a radio antenna (天线) and transmitter placed in the tower, and the importance of the tower to communications saved it from demolition. At the present time, 120 antennas broadcast radio and television transmissions from the tower.

During the 1889 World’s Fair, the newspaper Le Figaro set up a small printing operation on the third floor that produced a daily commemorative (纪念的) edition for visitors to buy.

Almost seven million visitors each year pay the admission fee to visit the Eiffel Tower. Since the structure opened in 1889, nearly 300 million people have experienced the tower.

A private apartment that Gustave Eiffel used as an office was created at the top of the tower. Eiffel entertained some important persons there, and today visitors to the apartment will see it as it looked in Eiffel’s day, with life-like wax models of Eiffel and Thomas Edison.

As a promotion during the 1889 World’s Fair, visitors could buy a commemorative postcard that was tied to a balloon and a small parachute. Visitors would write an address on the postcard and release it into the air from the tower. The postcard was supposed to fall back to earth gently due to the parachute, but it’s not known how many of these postcards ever made it to their intended addresses.

Because the taller sections of the tower are against the brighter sky, the bronze paint color is shaded slightly darker than the color closer to the ground. This is to give the impression that the tower is painted in a single shade.

Gustave Eiffel’s company designed the metal structure that holds the Statue of Liberty together. You can think of the Eiffel Tower as a Statue of Liberty without the skin, though the shapes of the two structures are quite different.

Visitors to Paris may not be as romantic as we thought. Although Paris is known as the City of Light and its illuminated attractions can easily be seen at night, the Eiffel Tower has much fewer visitors in the evening than during the day. The tower is closed at 11:45 pm, with the last admissions at 11 pm, 10:30 pm to visit the top.

Two of the original elevator cars, and the 1899 hydraulic (液压的) equipment, are still functioning in the Eiffel Tower elevators that go to the third floor in the east and west pillars (柱子). The equipment has been updated, but it is essentially the same technology that was used more than a century ago.

【1】Originally, the Eiffel Tower was built to ________.

A. serve the World’s Fair B. work as communications tools

C. store newspapers D. appeal to more visitors

【2】What does the underlined word “demolished” mean in the second paragraph?

A. repaired carefully B. constructed again

C. handled easily D. destroyed completely

【3】Nowadays, if people visit the Eiffel Tower, they ________.

A. have no access to the private apartment of Gustave Eiffel

B. can get into the Eiffel Tower without paying the admission fee

C. will find the tower still has radio antenna and transmitter placed in it

D. can buy a daily commemorative edition of the newspaper Le Figaro

【4】From the passage, we can know that ________.

A. the Eiffel Tower was painted in a single shade

B. the technology of the elevators has been changed

C. visitors can not enter the Eiffel Tower after 11 pm

D. the Eiffel Tower looks like the Statue of Liberty

29、   People born in winter are more likely to suffer mental health disorders, according to a recent study carried out by researchers at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee.

Researchers raised baby mice from birth to weaning in either “summer” light cycles of 16 hours of light and 8 hours of dark or “winter” cycles of 8 hours of light and 16 hours of dark. A third group experienced 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark a day.

Then half the winter mice stayed in a winter cycle, while half switched to a summer schedule. The summer mice were similarly split. The mice raised in equal periods of light and dark were split into three groups, one of which stayed on the 12­hour schedule, one of which joined the winter group, and one of which joined the summer group.

After 28 days, it turns out the summer­born mice behaved the same whether they stayed on the summer cycle or switched to winter. But among the winter­born mice, those that stayed in winter kept their previous schedule, while those that switched to summer stayed active for an extra hour and a half, which indicates that mice born and weaned in a winter light cycle showed dramatic disruptions in their biological clocks.

The finding is the first of its kind in mammals, and it could explain why people born in winter are at higher risk for mental health disorders.

“We know that the biological clock regulates mood in humans,” said study researcher McMahon. “If the mechanism similar to the one that we found in mice operates in humans, then it could not only have an effect on a number of behavioral disorders, but also have a more general effect on personality.”

【1】What’s the main idea of the text?

A.The biological clock regulates mood in humans.

B.Being born in winter has a negative effect on people’s mental health.

C.People born in winter are at higher risk for physical health disorders.

D.The length of light will influence the behavior of the mice.

【2】The underlined word “split”(Paragraph 3) can be replaced by ________.

A.divided B.torn

C.hit D.ended

【3】Who is probably the reader of the passage?

A.A job­hunter. B.A student in the university.

C.A newly­married couple. D.An experienced dentist.

32、阅读以下文章，并撰写文章的概要。

The famous classical pianist, Kong Xiangdong, surprised his fans last week by giving a concert combining classical music with Chinese folk music. Kong explained that he tried this because he wanted to create something new." As a musician, playing the same music in different cities of the world is very boring, "says Kong. He also feels that playing Chinese folk music on the piano can help bring it to the rest of the world.

Music has always been part of Kong's world. As his mother was a great music lover, he lived with music from birth. But it wasn't always easy for the young Kong Xiangdong. His mother couldn't buy him a piano until he was seven. She had to draw piano keys on a piece of paper so that he could learn to play as early as possible. The 5-year-old Kong would practice on the paper piano as his mother clapped the rhythm. He was made to practice the piano so much that, at times, he thought about giving up. However, he didn't quit, and he became a great pianist. In 1986,at the age of 18,he became the youngest prize winner in Moscow's Tchaikovsky International Competition. He went on to win awards in competitions across the world.

Because of Kong's talent and hard work, he became famous worldwide. But after years of performing, he felt that in some ways he had lost his identity. This is why he went back to his roots and rediscovered the beauty in Chinese folk music. He began experimenting with different styles and his Dream Tour Concert is the result.

Kong's new experiment in Chinese folk music is so important to him that he even changed his appearance. When he arrived at his concert last week, he had shaved off all his hair! Since his music style was new, he decided his hairstyle had to be new too!

Whether Kong is changing his appearance or transforming his music, he is a pioneer in music today. The concert last week was such a success that Kong's Dream Tour Concert is expected to run for the next two years in Beijing, Shanghai, and other main cities before going to Paris and New York.
