Shanghai Disney Resort has revealed its ticket prices for Disneyland claiming the lowest of all 12 Disney parks and six resorts in the world.
Shanghai Disneyland ticket prices are set at 499 yuan (75 dollars) for the grand opening period (June 16-30, 2016) and regular price at 370 yuan. Its regular price for a one-day ticket is lower than its peers in Hong Kong, which is priced at 539 yuan and the Disneyland in Tokyo in Japan at 374 yuan. The regular price for a one-day ticket at the two parks in Los Angeles is 9. Tickets for Shanghai’s Disneyland will be on sale on March 28, 2016.
Shanghai’s Disneyland will have its opening day on June 16, 2016. All tickets will be date-specific and valid for admission only on the date purchased.
Peak pricing for high-demand dates, including designated holidays, summer holidays and weekends, is set at 499 yuan. Special pricing will be provided to categorized guests: children (1.4m and below), seniors (65 years old and above) and guests with disabilities will receive discounts of 25 percent, infants (1m and below) receive free admission. A two-day ticket will be available at a five percent discount. On March 28, 2016, guests can obtain information on tickets through several official channels.
The project has been under construction for more than six years now. Jun 16-that is, 6-16-2016-has been apparently chosen as the date of opening because the three 6s are believed to be auspicious, foretelling success.
Real estate professionals believe any success of Shanghai Disney Resort would entail all-round benefits for the area. For example, visitors in huge numbers would likely spark a retail boom in Shanghai.
"Supplies of retail properties are really limited now and prices have more than doubled in the past 12 months. Obviously, investors believe that even a 10 square meter space for a noodle stand will be really profitable if it is close enough to Disneyland," said Lu Jianxin, a real estate agent with Shanghai Huayu Property Ltd.
According to the passage, in which place is the regular price for a one-day ticket highest?
A. Shanghai. B. Los Angeles. C. Tokyo. D. Hong Kong.
According to the passage, how much will the two-day tickets cost if a couple go to Shanghai Disneyland on July 16, 2016, Saturday?
A. About 1900 yuan. B. About 2000 yuan. C. About 1500 yuan. D. About 1400 yuan.
What does the underlined word “auspicious” mean?
A. suspicious B. successful C. lucky D. unsuccessful

C. An advertisement. D. An introduction of a scenic spot.

Gregory Talley used to sleep in a park, at an airport, or under a bridge. The 50-year-old has been homeless for more than 10 years. “It is hard. It’s hard to live homeless. You filled every day trying to find out where you are going to get something to eat. If I hadn’t found wonderful Fairfax County Kennedy Shelter, I wouldn’t know where I would be by now. I might be dead,” Talley said.
According to 2015 government data, more than a half-million people in the United States are homeless on any given night. As many homeless shelters across the U.S. remain at or near capacity, the country faces complicated challenges. In his fiscal 2017 budget, President Obama proposed spending billion over the next 10 years to fight family homelessness.
The Kennedy Shelter is one of the facilities New Hope Housing provides for homeless families and individuals in the Washington suburbs. Pam Michell has dedicated her life to making the lives of this vulnerable population better as executive director of the nonprofit organization.
“I went to Africa in 1985. And I saw an immense amount of poverty, but I saw so much hope. And I wondered what I was doing at home in my middle-class American life and decided that I should try to do something that would bring hope to people,” Michell said. “It is convenient, homelessness just happened to be what was around me. So I picked that,” she added.
When Michell began working with New Hope Housing 25 years ago, its three shelters had about 80 beds. Now, it has 350 beds and serves about 1,500 homeless people every year. Michell has expanded the program beyond just providing beds for the night.
“We do outreach, we do prevention, we do permanent housing, we do transitional housing. We have an education program with all sorts of different things to move people to end their homelessness,” she said. “Our Out of Poverty program tries to teach the shelter residents self-reliance and work values, and includes courses on planning and personal responsibility.”
Gregory Talley is mentioned in the first paragraph in order to __________.
A. introduce the topic B. support the main idea
C. draw the reader’s attention D. raise the reader’s awareness
From the passage we know that the Kennedy Shelter ____________.
A. is a nonprofit organization B. is a place for the homeless to spend the night
C. is located in Washington D.C. D. provides 350 beds for 1500 people
According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. There were homeless people everywhere Michell went.
B. New Hope Housing does not just provide beds for the night.
C. New Hope Housing has three shelters for the homeless.
D. Michell started to work with New Hope Housing in 1985.

As an English learner, you want to be able to understand and to discuss a subject. You want to have the ability to express your opinions, and to support that opinion with a clear argument. You can learn these skills by learning how to debate.
In everyday conversation, Americans use the word debate to talk about discussions among people. When people debate, they give their own opinions about a topic.
Another use of the word debate describes a more formal discussion. Debaters work on a team to convince a judge that their opinion about a topic has more value than the opposite side’s.
Debate is part of the tradition of forensics started in Ancient Greece. The Greeks thought that, in a democracy, people needed to have certain skills. These skills included speaking in public in favor of an opinion, and providing evidence to support one’s opinion.
The Greeks supported the development of these skills by holding contests. Western education today continues the tradition with competitions between debate teams.
Charles LeBeau wrote a book with Michael Lubetsky called “Discover Debate” to help teachers understand a simple way to teach debate. The method depends on creating a kind of visual aid known as a graphic organizer. The visual aid reflects the way we talk about critical thinking and developing an argument.
Students work with the idea of building their argument just like they would build a house. They would draw their house on paper or a whiteboard and list:
? The focus of the discussion or the debate is the roof.
? The reasons and arguments are the “pillars” to support the roof.
? The data, numbers, examples, and expert opinions provide the concrete foundation.
The house approach gives students who have not experienced a debate in their own culture a way to plan what they will say to support their message.
You are debating when ____________.
A. you have an idea and discuss it with your classmates or friends
B. you are learning a foreign language and discussing a subject
C. you speak in protection of your opinions trying to convince others
D. you express your opinions in a competition before a judge
The book “Discover Debate” is intended for ___________.
A. teachers B. debaters C. speech competitors D. English students
What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Ancient Greeks were fond of debating with opponents.
B. Ancient Greeks made speeches in public to express their ideas.
C. There are debating lessons in all Western schools today.
D. Drawing a house before making a speech helps the speaker a lot.
What does the underlined sentence (the last paragraph) suggest?
A. A house is helpful to planning a speech.
B. The house approach is useful for language learners.
C. It’s a good idea for English learners to learn the house approach.
D. Debate is a must for all students in the world.
D
There was daylight. Glass could tell that much without moving, but otherwise he had no idea of the time. He lay where he fell down the day before. His anger had carried him to the edge of the clearing (森林的空地), but his fever stopped him there.
The bear had hurt Glass from the outside and now the fever hurt from within. It felt to Glass as if he had been hollowed out. He trembled uncontrollably, dreaming of the warmth of a fire. Looking around, he saw that no smoke rose from the remains of the fire in the campsite. No fire, no warmth.
He wondered if he could at least go back to his blanket, and made a tentative effort to move. The movement caused something deep in his chest. He felt a cough coming on and tensed his stomach muscles to stop it. The muscles were painful from earlier battles, and despite his effort, the cough broke out. It felt like his inside was being torn out through his throat.
When the pain of coughing decreased, he focused again on the blanket.
I have to get warm. It took all his strength to lift his head. The blanket lay about twenty feet away. He rolled from his side to stomach, moving his left arm out in front of his body. Glass bent his left leg, then straightened it to push. Between his one good arm and his one good leg, he push-dragged himself across the clearing. Each breath drew like a cutting through his throat, and he felt again the trembling in his wounded back. He stretched to grab the blanket when it came within reach. He pulled it around his shoulders, embracing the weighty warmth of the Hudson Bay wool. The he passed out.
Through the long morning, Glass’s body fought against the infection of his wounds. He slipped between consciousness, unconsciousness and a confusing state, aware of his surroundings like random pages of a book, scattered glimpses of a story with no continuity to bind them. When conscious, he wished desperately to sleep again, if only to gain respite (暂缓) from the pain. Yet each interlude (中间) of sleep came with a terrifying thought that he might never wake again. Is this what it’s like to die?
From the passage, we know that __________.
A. Glass was a hunter who used to hunt bears in the forest
B. Even though Glass was wounded, he killed the bear at last
C. After fighting with a bear, Glass was seriously wounded
D. Glass lay in the clearing for a week without being found
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. All the other people were searching for Glass when he was lying in the clearing.
B. Glass managed to put the blanket around his shoulders before he passed away
C. With one good arm and one good leg, Glass pushed-dragged himself back home
D. The whole morning Glass was sometimes conscious and sometimes unconscious
Paragraph 5 of this passage mainly tells us ___________.
A. how Glass was wounded by a bear and died B. what happened to Glass before he recovered
C. why Glass tried to get his blanket back D. how Glass struggled to keep himself warm
We can infer from the passage that ___________.
A. a desire for life supported Glass to struggle against hardships
B. life in the forest used to be hard for both animals and man
C. Hudson Bay was a small city where best wool was produced
D. Glass wanted to sleep as much as possible to recover soon

Dear editor,
I am Evan from Canada. Being the oldest child in the family has its disadvantages. First of all, I have to share all my toys with my young sisters. Of course, they don't need to return to the favor because I'm total uninterested in their things. Besides, they are always hanging around me. I just can't get moment's peace. At meals, I have to eat whichever is on the plate regardless of the taste. My sisters only try one bite if it's not our favorite food. In addition, when it comes to practice our musical instruments, I have to practice more than double the time. Worst of all, I got a larger quantity of housework. Comparing to them, I'm feeling rather annoyed. Can you please give me some advices?
Yours truly,
Evan Smith
