The more days you pay for, the cheaper the per-day cost gets. Disney Ticket No-Expiration Option Every Base Ticket exp
14、ires(到期) 14 days after you first use it. You can add the no-expiration option to your Base Ticket so that your unused days never expire. Disney Water Park Fun and More The Base Ticket only covers admission to the 4 theme parks. If you want to visit Blizzard Beach, Typhoon Lagoon, Disneys Wide World
15、of Sports, or Disney Quest you need another Disney ticket or you can add on the Water Park Fun and More option to your Base Ticket. The amount of visits to the Water Park or Disney Quest depends on the number of days on your Base Ticket. So a 2-Day Ticket with Water Park Fun and More will give you 2
16、 visits to the Water Parks; a 4-Day will give you 4 visits and so on. Disney Park Hopper Ticket The Base Ticket allows you to visit one Disney park each day. The Disney Park Hopper option lets you move from one park to another on the same day. So if you started in Animal Kingdom you could move to Ma
17、gic Kingdom or one of the other theme parks on the same day. The cost for this option is $ 53.25 per ticket regardless of the number of days you have on your Base Ticket. So it may be a good option for a 10-day ticket but not so great for a 2-day. It does take time to transfer(移动)between parks-Disne

The Arizona architecture students designed one component of a larger project called SunBlock, which rethinks the traditional configuration(结构)of di
22、strict energy systems that are used to heat or cool collections of buildings. District energy systems typically involve one central plant that creates heated or cooled water, then pumps it around to the other buildings within the district. The buildings take that water and pass it through an air han
23、dling unit. Air is then passed over the water to heat or cool the building. The SunBlock concept, designed specifically for the Sonoran Desert, focuses on cooling. The main way it is different from a traditional district energy system is that each SunBlock building would have its own solar-powered s
24、ystem that cools the water, rather than one central building doing it all. Because the buildings are built so efficiently, the cooling system would provide more cold water than needed. The extra water could be stored in underground tanks and shared with existing and less efficient buildings througho
25、ut the neighborhood. The project addresses sustainability(可持续性) from a number of angles: The buildings electricity is provided with solar power; the system does not use traditional air conditioning systems that use refrigerants(制冷剂), which are polluters; and the underground water tanks can also coll
26、ect rainwater for irrigation. Im optimistic that SunBlock will someday be more than a first-place project. We will do our best to help future groups of students who move SunBlock forward and bring it closer to reality, said Franzen. We just have to get more people on board. 24. How is the SunBlock c
27、oncept different from a traditional district energy system? A. Cold water cooling the air. B. Less cold water for buildings. C. One cooling system for one building. D.

30、t the tone of your voice, or the spacing of pauses in your speech? How about adjusting your body language and facial expressions, depending on the background of the person in front of you? These are just a handful of the shifts in behaviour that can contribute to what is known as your cultural intel
31、ligence, or CQ. The number one predictor of your success in todays borderless world is not your IQ, or not even your expertise(专长), writes social, scientist David Livermore in his book The Cultural Intelligence Difference. Its your CQ. Typically CQ is measured through a series of questions that asse
32、ss four distinct components. The first is CQ Drive-the motivation to learn about other cultures. Then there is CO Knowledge, which is an understanding of some of the general cultural differences you may face. CQ Strategy examines how you make sense of those difficult conflicts and learn from them, w
33、hile CQ Action involves your behavioural flexibility-whether you are able to adapt your conduct like a cultural chameleon. While understanding a specific culture can be useful, it may not predict at all your ability to engage effectively in a new place, says Livermore. In fact, our research finds th
34、at individuals who have lived in multiple locations for extended time are more likely to have higher CQ Knowledge than those who have lived multiple decades in one overseas setting. Someone with low CO might have a tendency to judge everyone elses behaviour by his own cultural standards. If he comes
35、 from a more sociable environment, for instance, and notices that his Japanese colleagues are very quiet in a meeting, he may assume that they are being unfriendly or bored. A person at the top of the scale(级别), meanwhile, might realise that silence is a sign of respect and that feedback(反馈)wont be
36、given unless it is explicitly required. As a result, hell make sure to offer suitable opportunities within the meeting for others to provide their opinions. 28. Which of the following best describes a cultural chameleon? A. Learning from other cultures to have a high CQ. B. Taking action to overcome
37、 the communication barrier. C. Getting along well with others despite cultural differences. D. Changing behaviour according to the cultural background. 29. What is the best way to get high CQ Knowledge? A. Experiencing a variety of different cultures. B. Spending a long time in a specific culture. C
38、. Meeting people from a distant country. D. Having personal experience in another culture. 30. What kind of people do the Japanese colleagues represent? A. People with low CO. B. People with high CQ. C. People from a different culture. D. People from a sociable environment. 31. Whom is the text main
39、ly intended for? A. Those who are going to be a social scientist. B. Those who want to learn about CQ Knowledge. C. Those who conduct some research on CQ and IQ. D. Those who interact with people from different cultures. D Sitting up straight in your chair isnt just good for your posture(姿势)-it also
40、 gives you more confidence in your own thoughts, according to a new study. Our body posture can affect not only what others think about us, but also how we think about ourselves, said Richard Petty, co-author of the study. The study included 71 students at Ohio State. They were told they would take
41、part in two separate studies at the same time, one organized by the business school and one by the arts school. They were told the arts study was examining factors contributing to peoples acting abilities, in this case, the ability to maintain a specific posture while engaging in other activities. T
42、hey were instructed to either sit up straight or sit slouched(无精打采)forward. While in one of these positions, the students participated in the business study, which supposedly examined factors contributing to professional performance. While holding their posture, they listed either three positive or
43、three negative personal traits(特质)relating to future professional performance on the job. After completing this task, they took a survey in which they rated themselves on how well they would do as a future professional employee. The results were striking. Students who held the upright, confident pos
44、ture were much more likely to rate themselves in line with the positive or negative traits they wrote down. In other words, if they wrote positive traits about themselves, they rated themselves more highly, and if they wrote negative traits about themselves, they rated themselves lower. However, stu
45、dents who assumed the slouched, less confident posture, didnt seem convinced by their own thoughts-their ratings didnt differ much regardless of whether they wrote positive or negative things about themselves. Their confident, upright posture gave them more confidence in their own thoughts, whether
46、they were positive or negative, Petty said. Sitting up straight is something you can train yourself to do, and it has psychological benefits-as long as you generally have positive thoughts, he said. 32. When did the business study take place? A. When the students took the survey. B. When the arts st
47、udy was going on. C. After the arts study was conducted. D. After the students took the survey. 33. Which can be included in the underlined words other activities in Paragraph 4? A. Sitting up straight. B. Working as an employee. C. Listing personal traits. D. Participating in the arts study. 34. Wh
48、at do we know about the ratings given by those who sat up straight? A. They were rather high. B. They were relatively low. C. They agreed with the written-down traits. D. They were different from the written-down traits. 35. What can be the conclusion of the study? A. Body posture affects our confidence level. B. Confidence leads to good body posture. C. Body posture affects professional performance. D. Personal traits affect professional performance. 第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项
