BShanghai DISNEYs theme park, first built on the Chinese mainland, has already been completed, and opened its doors on June 16, 2016. “Six is a lucky number to Chinese people,” the Walt Disney Company said. Shanghai Disneyland hosted an opening celebration to welcome its first guests. At the opening, it held more Chinese-style activities instead of Western-style ones, because the host wants to show Chinas local traditional culture. “We have prepared a three-day celebration and are hiring more than 8,000 actors,” Philippe Gas, Shanghai Disneylands general manager, told Shanghai Television yesterday. So why has Disneyland been so popular? Well, its described as “the Happiest Place on Earth” and “a place for the young and young at heart”. Disneys storytelling in rides like roller coasters is a big reason for their parks success. “We tell a story in everything we do,” Pressler said. However, Disneys parks havent always been popular everywhere. When Disneyland Paris opened in 1992, some French people felt that American culture was invading(入侵) France. But still, the park stayed open and today it is a popular place for European visitors. 49. Why did the company decide to open on the date of “June 16, 2016”?A. Because that day is quite close to the summer holiday.B. Because the opening celebration wouldnt be ready until that day.C. Because the number SIX is considered to be “lucky” in China.D. Because Shanghai Disneyland wouldnt be completed until that day. 50. What did Shanghai Disneyland do on its opening day?A. It told stories to the guests. B. It mainly showed Western culture.C. It held more activities of Chinese-style. D. It invited guests to have a roller-coaster ride.51. What can we infer(推断) from the last paragraph?A. At first, Disneyland Paris was a great success.B. American culture is quite similar to French culture. C. Disneys parks have always been popular around the world.D. Disneyland Paris attracts many visitors from Europe at present. CAfter that, we went on down the river. It was very dark that night and it wasnt easy to see where we were going. Suddenly, a big steamboat came at us very fast, and the next minute it was right over us. Jim and I jumped off the raft (木筏) into the water. The boat hit the raft and went on up the river. When I came up out of the water, I couldnt see Jim anywhere. I called out his name again and again, but there was no answer. “Hes dead!” I thought. Slowly, I swam to the side of the river and got out. I saw that I was near a big old wooden house. Suddenly a lot of very angry dogs jumped out at me. They made a terrible noise and someone called from the house, “Whos there?”“George Jackson,” I answered quickly. “Ive fallen off a river boat.”Well, the people who lived in that house were very kind, and they took me in and gave me some new clothes and a good meal. I told them that my family were all dead, so they said I could stay with them as long as I wanted. It was a beautiful house and the food was good there, so I stayed. A few days later one of the slaves in the house came to me and said, “Come with me!” Together, we went down to some trees by the river. “In there!” he said and went away.On the ground, I found a man, asleep. It was Jim! I was really pleased to see him. When the steamboat hit the raft, Jim told me, the raft didnt crash. Jim swam after it and caught it. Then he began to look for me.We decided to leave at once. Its all right living in a house for a little while, but you feel more free and easy and comfortable on a raft.52. According to the story, which of the following is the correct order? a. George saw a big house. b. George got some new clothes. c. George found Jim on the ground. d. George jumped off the raft into the water.A. c-d-a-b. B. d-b-a-c. C. c-b-a-d. D. d-a-b-c.53. Why did George Jackson answer “quickly” when someone called from the house? A. George felt afraid and nervous. B. George felt tired and sleepy.C. George really wanted to stay there. D. George didnt want to lie to him.54. The underlined word “crash” in Paragraph 6 most probably means “_”. A. fit B. fix C. break D. work 55. Which of these old sayings best fits this story? A. It never rains but it pours. B. Every dog has its day.C. Burn the candle at both ends. D. Many hands make light work. DA 12-year-old girl from Virginia, US, never thought that a simple message she put online could bring her big problems. She posted the words, “Killing. Meet me in the library Tuesday.”, with three emojis(表情符号) of a gun, a knife and a bomb on Instagram, a social media(社交媒体). She was told that she broke the law because of threatening(威胁) her school.This problem is not far away from us. Not long ago, Ni Hanxiang, a Chinese student at a university in the US, was sent back to China after expressing on social media that he would kill his teachers if he failed to pass his exams. In China, posting threatening words online is also against the law. In 2013, Wu Hongfei, a singer, got into trouble for saying on Weibo that she wanted to blow up a building. “Threatening happens not only face to face but also through the Internet, social media and the telephone,” said Mr. Cao, a lawyer from Chongqing. “Although the law of China protects peoples right of free speech, it doesnt include words that threaten others lives and national safety.” “Some people may not mean to threaten. They may just be trying to say “Im strong”, said Fred Pratt, a lawyer from the US. The girls mother said her daughter was a good kid who had never been in trouble before. Ni Hanxiang also said he didnt realize that what he put online was so serious. “But not knowing the law doesnt mean the law will treat you any differently if you break it,” says David Allen Green, a lawyer from the UK. So, do you think wed better spend a minute or two thinking about the words or emojis we use on social media before we press “send”?56. The 12-year-old girl from Virginia put the words “Killing. Meet me in the library Tuesday.”, with three emojis _

A 12-year-old girl from Virginia, US, never thought that a simple message she put online could bring her big problems. She posted the words, “Killing. Meet me in the library Tuesday.”, with three emojis(表情符号) of a gun, a knife and a bomb on Instagram, a social media(社交媒体). She was told that she broke the law because of threatening(威胁) her school.
This problem is not far away from us. Not long ago, Ni Hanxiang, a Chinese student at a university in the US, was sent back to China after expressing on social media that he would kill his teachers if he failed to pass his exams.
In China, posting threatening words online is also against the law. In 2013, Wu Hongfei, a singer, got into trouble for saying on Weibo that she wanted to blow up a building.
“Threatening happens not only face to face but also through the Internet, social media and the telephone,” said Mr. Cao, a lawyer from Chongqing. “Although the law of China protects people’s right of free speech, it doesn’t include words that threaten others’ lives and national safety.”
