A.sending
B.to send
C.having sent
D.to have sent
【答案與解析】 A 考查動詞非謂語形式。根據題意,sending充當伴隨狀語,符合題意,而having sent強調比work先完成。to send與to have sent充當目的狀語,均不合題意。題意:許多救援人員在夜以繼日地工作,向地震后的青海玉樹送去物資補。

?、?閱讀理解
Like many people, the most difficult part of planning a trip to Orlando is trying to decide which kind of theme park tickets is suitable. Why are there so many different ticket combinations? Obviously, there's no answer. Only you can determine the best ticket for you depending on your budget (預算), your interests and the amount of time you'd like to spend in a park.
If you plan to visit a park more than once, multi-day and multi-park tickets can save you money while providing greater flexibility (靈活性) and added convenience. Why stand in a variety of lines every day if you can purchase tickets once in advance? You'll save time, and usually save a little money, as well.
When buying multi-day and multi-park tickets, you'll also want to consider the duration and rules of the ticket. The length of valid duration (有效期) varies by ticket, but most set specific time frames. Each ticket has its own
restrictions and it is a good idea to read the restrictions carefully before you purchase it.
Typically, the more days or parks your ticket covers, the larger the savings. So the more you go, the more you can save. But if you won't be able to use the features of a multi-park ticket enough to justify its cost, forget it.
An Orlando vacation can be ideal for the entire family. There are enough parks and attractions to satisfy everyone. Think about what's best for you, then take enough time to research the ticket options (選項) available to you.
1.What does the author's purpose in writing the passage?
A.To attract people to visit Orlando.
B.To explain multi-day and multi-park tickets of Orlando.
C.To tell people the features of the theme parks.

【答案與解析】 B 主旨題。通讀全文可以看出,作者主要介紹了multi-day and multi-park tickets。
2.Which of the following can not determine what kind of tickets one buys?
A.How much money one can afford.
B.How much time one has.
C.What one is interested in.
D.How one will go to the parks.
【答案與解析】 D 細節題。由第1段最后一句可知,“如何去公園”對買哪種組合的票沒有關系。
3.From the passage we can see that ________.
A.the restrictions on each kind of tickets are different
B.the valid duration on the tickets is the same
C.every ticket has its own specific time frames
D.the length of the tickets is different
【答案與解析】 A 細節題。根據第3段第3句可知,每種票上的限制是有區別的。
4.The more parks the ticket covers, ________.
A.the more money one will save
B.the more money one will waste
C.the less money one will save
D.the less money one will spend
【答案與解析】 A 細節題。根據第4段可以看出,票面上所包含的公園越多,就越省錢。
5.What does the underlined word “purchase” mean in the passage?
A.Visit.
B.Start.
C.Buy.
D.Print.
【答案與解析】 C 詞義推測題。根據上文的stand in a variety of lines判斷,此處應為“買票”。
?、?根據短文內容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項多余選項。
__1__ Researchers from Harvard University and the University of California, San Diego, have found an answer as part of a study.
Nicholas Christakis and James Fowler based the study on the emotional health of almost five thousand people. They used information gathered over a period of twenty years, until 2008, in the Framingham Heart Study. __2__
The new study found that friends of happy people had a greater chance of being happy themselves. And the smaller the physical distance between friends, the larger the effect they had on each other's happiness.
For example, a person was twenty percent more likely to feel happy if a friend living within one and a half kilometers was also happy. Having a happy neighbor who lived next door increased an individual's chance of being happy by
thirty-four percent. The effects of friends' happiness lasted for up to a year.
The researchers found that happiness really is contagious (感染性的). __3__
People removed by as much as three degrees of separation still had an effect on a person's happiness. __4__
The study showed that having an extra five thousand dollars increased a person's chances of becoming happier by about two percent. But the researchers found that the influence of a friend of a friend of a friend can be greater than that.
