26、Florence, Rome, Venice. Beautiful cities to be sure, not to mention some of the planet’s most visited travel destinations.

27、   The Disneyland parks are full of amusements, but they are also small cities that deal with deliveries, rubbish, and groups of visitors. People need to move from one place to another; they have to refuel and relax. To meet these requirements, the parks are well-equipped in reality. For example, Disneyland Park in California has a reliable transport system. In Walt Disney World in Florida, dustbins are spaced 30 feet apart, and all of them are emptied through underground tubes.

None of this happened by accident. Walt Disney first had his idea for a play land in 1937. He first imagined the park's buildings in a small size. He spent years collecting ideas by visiting other places. He studied Beverly Park in Los Angeles, including rebuilt historic villages. He visited Colonial Williamsburg, where employees dressed up and walked around.. Then he organized a team of engineers and designers to plan and build a small world he called Disneyland. Walt Disney had blueprints（蓝图）drawn up, and tried to get the permission to break ground（破土动工）.

In 1953, he bought some land in Anaheim. Some designers thought it was too far, but Disney went ahead It was like building a new city Pipes had to be fixed. Railway track had to be laid around. Disney chose the hub-and-spoke（轴辐式）street pattern that many cities have. “I want Disneyland to be a place where you can't get lost,” he said, Designers and architects also diagrammed（图解）the rides and made models, while artists painted the background.

Finally in July 1955, the visitors came. If they picked up maps, they could see the results of years’ planning: the shops and restaurants, the square, and the streets. The magic city had finally jumped off the drawing board and come into real life.

【1】What does the author want to show about Disneyland parks in the first paragraph?

A.The convenient environment. B.The amusing tourist attractions.

C.The differences between the parks. D.The visitors' common requirements.

【2】Why did Walt Disney travel to different places including Beverly Park?

A.To choose a place for construction. B.To advertise his Disneyland Park.

C.To experience American culture. D.To get inspiration for his park.

【3】What kind of person is Walt Disney according to the passage?

A.Confident but selfish. B.Stubborn but kind-hearted.

C.Considerate and determined. D.Careful and hard-working,

【4】What’s the best title of the text?

A.It is worthwhile to build large parks

B.Disneyland has been built like a brand- new city

C.How a theme park was built in a big city of USA

D.Disneyland--a famous park around the world

28、Around 1,500 endangered and rare languages are at a high risk of being lost in the next century, according to a study published on Thursday in Nature Ecology and Evolution.

The study found that around half of the world’s 7,000 documented languages are endangered. It also found that greater road density was associated with higher risk of endangerment.

“It’s as if roads are helping dominant languages overwhelm other smaller languages,” co-author and professor at the Australian National University Lindell Bromham said in a press release.

Greater endangerment was also associated with higher average years of schooling, suggesting that formal education contributes to loss of language diversity. “Mainstream education in a dominant language can lead to loss of competence in minority languages. We urgently need to invest in bilingual (双语的) education and develop programs that allow communities to bring their heritage language into schools, to make sure the language stays strong and is passed on to future generations,” Bromhall told CBS News.

The study found that unless there is intervention (干预), the world could lose at least one language per month, with language loss three times more in the next 40 years. The authors recommended “urgent investment” in community-based programs like bilingual education programs and language documentation. And some of the recommendations that experts made 20 years ago are still the same: governments should remove bans on languages and adults should encourage children to speak other languages — including their native language.

“Each language is a reflection on the creativity and inventiveness of human minds, a beautiful and fascinating solution to complex communication challenges,” Bromham told CBS News. “Most importantly, for many people, language symbolizes cultural identity and belonging. Many groups mourn (悼念) the decline of unique languages and long for competency in languages no longer spoken.”

【1】What was related with higher risk of language endangerment?

A．Less road density.

B．Unpopularity among language learners.

C．Greater competence of small languages.

D．Higher average years of schooling.

【2】What should government do to preserve language diversity?

A．Stop bans on languages.

B．Create more language education programs.

C．Put more investment in language research.

D．Encourage people to speak other languages.

【3】What do we know from the text?

A．Investment is needed in bilingual education.

B．Language loss results in mainstream education.

C．Half of the world’s current languages are lost.

D．Dominant languages are symbols of cultural identity.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．The causes of language loss.

B．The high risk of language loss.

C．The measures of language protection.

D．The importance of language diversity.

29、   Darrion Cockrell, who wasn’t much of a student, has been named Missouri’s Teacher of the Year—the state’s highest honor for educators, becoming the first male since 2015 to capture the state’s top award.

Cockrell—the child of “a drug-addicted mother” and a father who was killed when he was four years old—was in and out of the childcare centers and eventually became a gang (帮派) member. In his speech, he shouted out the special people who helped to guide him down the right path when he was going off track.

He thanked his teacher Ken who provided him with life advice while he lived in a boys group home. “He taught me it’s OK to be tough, but at the same time, it’s OK to be compassionate (富有同情心的),” Cockrell said. “He was like a father figure to me.”

The teacher—affectionately known as “DC”—also expressed his gratitude to the football coach that adopted him when he was in the 7th grade and helped to change his whole perspective (视角) on life. “When I changed the way I looked at things, the things around me started to change,” he said. “I had a lot of struggles and a lot of hurdles, and if not for those educators, I would not be here today.”

Now, Cockrell hopes to make an impact on the students at Lindbergh Schools’ Crestwood Elementary in St. Louis, where he’s been teaching physical education since 2015. Among his many accomplishments at the school is his development of the “Crest-Fit” training program for teachers, students and parents.

“Missouri is fortunate to have so many high-quality educators, and Darrion will be a wonderful representative as our state’s Teacher of the Year,” Commissioner of Education Margie Vandeven said in a statement. “He guides his students towards long-term physical and mental wellness, and the connections he has established will impact Crestwood children for years to come.”
