Dear Disney，
Last weekend, the four members of my family spent an enjoyable holiday at the Magic Kingdom — Disneyland. And one event made our visit seem truly magical.
We got to the front of the line at Space Mountain, only to find out that our little daughter Gloria couldn't take her ice­cream on the ride. We were so excited that we all forgot ice­cream was not allowed on the ride.
Gloria cried and we all had no idea what to do. Then Murphy, one of the staff (员工) members, came over. She bent down (弯腰), and told Gloria that she would hold the ice­cream for her and give it to her when she finished the ride. Gloria said, “Promise？” Then she gave Murphy her ice­cream, and she completely enjoyed the ride.
Sure enough, as we walked out the exit, there was Gloria's new friend with “her” ice­cream.
Now you and I both know what happened, because we know that an ice­cream won't last twenty minutes on a summer afternoon in Florida. Murphy knew what time we would get off the ride; she went to the nearest shop and bought a brand­new (全新的)ice­cream thirty seconds before we walked out the exit. Gloria said, “Thank you，” but I'm sure she thought it was the same ice­cream.
We know that someone tried hard to make our visit special. Thanks so much for going above and beyond!
Your fan，
Carmen Rivera

Easter Island，an island in the south Pacific Ocean, belongs to Chile. The island is famous for its stone statues (雕像) along the coastlines.
In 1722, an explorer named Jacob Roggeveen visited the island. This happened to be on Easter Sunday, and this gave the island its name: Easter Island. What he discovered there were three types of people, dark­skinned, red­skinned, and very pale­skinned people with red hair. The island had a small population with almost no culture they could remember. They hardly had any contact with the outside world.
Most scientists believe that the Polynesians were the first people of Easter Island. Another guess is that the first people came from South America, for the sweet potato, a main diet of the early Easter Island people, was from South America. It shows that there must have been some connection between the two cultures. Erich von Daniken, a famous writer, believes that aliens once lived on the island.
The most famous sight on Easter Island is the 887 huge stone statues called Moai. Most of the statues are 5.5 to 7 meters tall and very few are shorter than 3 meters. The average (平均的) weight is 14 tons. Some Moai weigh more than 80 tons. Every one of them is made of one single piece of huge stone. Although all the Moai are large with heads and shortened bodies, no two exactly resemble (相像) each other. Besides, since the land had been treeless by the time the Europeans first visited, how the statues were moved is still a mystery.
It is believed that the statues were used to represent ancestors whom the island people regarded as gods. They were placed as a warning to keep enemies out and watch over other tribes (部落)．
语篇解读　复活节岛是位于南太平洋的一座小岛。到底是什么缘由使原始居民在光秃秃的山坡上，直立了近900座巨石像呢？这个在荒芜环境里的怪诞成就，让很多数学家、探险家及作家深感迷惑。
5．The island got its name of Easter Island because ________.
A. it was discovered by Jacob Roggeveen
B. it was discovered on Easter Sunday
C. it is on the eastern part of the Earth
D. it is to the east of Chile
答案与解析　B　细节理解题。由其次段中This happened to be on Easter Sunday, and this gave the island its name可知，这座岛因复活节那天被发觉而得名。
6．How many opinions about the first people on the island are mentioned in the passage?
A. Two. B. Three.
C. Four. D. Five.
答案与解析　B　细节理解题。由第三段可知，关于复活节岛的首批居民，存在三种不同的说法：很多科学家认为原始居民是波利尼西亚人；另外一种说法是认为原始居民来自南美洲；有位作家认为原始居民是外星人。
7．Which of the following about the statues on Easter Island is TRUE?
A. Most of them are less than four meters in height.
B. Their heads and bodies were made separately.
C. They were moved with wood.
D. They were used as symbols of gods.
答案与解析　D　细节理解题。由最终一段中It is believed that the statues were used to represent ancestors whom the island people regarded as gods可知，这些石像代表了岛上居民的祖先，他们被居民奉为神。
C
I have never understood why so many people visit Rome from late spring to early autumn, when traffic, heat, stressed (强调)shopkeepers and waiters make a busy city. Things improve a little in March, April, October and November.
But connoisseurs (内行) know that winter is the best time to go there. In winter, the colors are more vivid(明丽的) and the low­flying sun turns Rome into a wonderful stage set. There are days in winter when the sky is kind of blue — I've never seen anywhere else. And there are also days when you find that you have beautiful sights all to yourself.
Perhaps the only period you might want to avoid are the two weeks before Christmas. Italians often leave their shopping late, and traffic in the city is often heavy. But this can also be a good time to come if you are more interested in culture than in fashion shops, and if you stay somewhere central so that you can beat the traffic by walking everywhere.
Christmas in Rome is a low­key (低调的) family event. One of the nice things is the way the city keeps going: although museums and shops are closed, many bars and restaurants stay open, and public transport continues to run. Wherever you go, shops are comfortingly small­scale.
If you're lucky with the weather, it's in January and February that Rome is at its best. Late February in particular can be attractive. One sometimes forgets what a difference that extra hour of daylight makes compared with mid­December; there are always a few days of proper sunshine, when you can picnic in Villa Borghese and Pompeii. Remember that you have caught the sun after you go back to the hotel.
语篇解读　本文是作者结合自己对罗马的了解，主要介绍了去罗马旅游的最佳时间、住宿以及天气等等。
8．The author thinks the best time to visit Rome is ________.
A. in late spring B. in middle summer
C. in early autumn D. in middle winter
答案与解析　D　细节理解题。由其次段第一句话connoisseurs know that winter is the best time to go there.可知去罗马的最佳时间是冬季。故D项正确。
9．What can we know about the author according to the passage?
A. He was born in the city of Rome.
B. He has a good knowledge of Rome.
C. He fell in love with the blue sky of Rome.
D. He often gets caught in traffic jam in Rome.
答案与解析　B　推理推断题。由文章的内容可知，作者对罗马的介绍比较全面和具体，因此可以推出作者对罗马格外了解。故B项正确。
10．The last paragraph mainly talks about ________.
A. some attractions in Rome
B. the weather in Rome
C. different activities in Rome
D. the daylight in Rome
答案与解析　B　目的意图题。最终一段主要讲罗马的天气，在二月，那里天气晴朗，格外适合游客们户外野炊。故B项正确。
