A
As for visiting Walt Disney World. People usually have trouble in arranging. The following will give you some practical suggestions on paying a valuable visit to the famous park.
When to go?
While it’s always busy, Disney World is slightly slower between mid-January and March. It’s summer when the visitors , combined with the heat and humidity(潮湿)， are crowded. Your best choice is either early in the morning or late in the day--- often you can enjoy more rides in the first or last two hours of the day than you can the entire rest of the day combined.
Where to stay?
The question: to stay on Disney World Resort property or not. Disney World offers three resort pricing: Deluxe(豪华的), Moderate, and Value, with good facilities and in-hotel attractions. That said, they all offer “Extra Magic Hours”(early access to the theme parks), guaranteed entry when the parks are over-crowded, and frequent shuttle service to the many attractions. Off-property hotels will have shuttle transfers, but often at less regular intervals(间歇)，wasting more time in transport. You’ll also need a rental car, which adds to the expense, making up for saving in the hotel rate. The “Magic Your Way Package” is a good value if you have a large family.
What to do?
Make use of the “Fast Pass” , which , for no extra cost allow you to insert your entrance ticket into a particular machine at the attraction and receive a schedule ride time a little later on. For example, use your Fast Pass ticket at a ride just before getting lunch. Once you’re done eating, you can return to the ride and jump right on during the busiest time of day. At the Animal Kingdom, the animals are most active either early or late in the day, so plan accordingly. Thankfully this is fit for the least busy times of day in the park. Study the map of the park the night before to plan your visit. You’ll save time by knowing where things are and where you’re headed.
56. Visitors who use Fast Pass tickets ________
A. can get discounts on tickets B. will have a well-planned ride time
C. will often be checked at the exit D. have to pay more for their tickets
57. If you have referred to the map of the park, you ________
A. are sure to save time B. will get the lowest-priced tickets
C. can learn the park’s location D. may have your lost tickets replaced
58. The underlined word “this” in the text probably refers to the fact that ________
A. there are more visitors at that time B. animals are active at that time
C. the Animal Kingdom attracts fewer visitors D. Fast Pass benefits visitors a lot
59. It can be learned from Part 2 that _________
A. every visitor will have a rental car for free
B. all the shuttle transfers are convenient for visitors.
C. three typed of resort pricing are offered by Disney World
Young couples are advised to take the Magic Your Way Package .
B
Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train , car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.
One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money , one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.
Then, in the country one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh ,clean air of the country If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging , planting , watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden . Then , when the flowers and vegetables come up , one has the reward of one who has shared the secret of Nature.
Some people. However, take no interest in country things: for them ,happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.
60. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. People who like country things prefer to live outside the city
B. People who work in London prefer to live in the country .
C. Because of certain disadvantages of living outside London , some people who work in London prefer to live inside London .
D. Because of certain advantages of living outside London , many people who work in London prefer to live outside London .
61. One can use the same money for ________ to buy a little house with a garden in the country.
A. getting a small flat with a garden B. having a small flat with a garden
C. renting a small flat without a garden D. buying a small flat without a garden
62. People who think happiness lies in the town would feel that ______ if they had to live it outside London.
A. their life was meaningless B. their life was invaluable
C. they didn’t deserve a happy life D. they were not worthy of their happy life
63. The underlined word “rest” refer to ___________ .
