3．（7．5分）    A large number of people visit Disney Park in Florida，US，on July 14．Visiting Disney Parks has placed a heavy financial burden（经济负担） on many US families．Walt Disney World is an amazing place for many people in the US．However，for some，this dream place is making them go into a lot of debt（债务）．

According to the US website LendingTree，45 percent of over 2，000 US Disney visitors with children under 18 went into debt for their trip．But more than half of these parents had no regrets．Why is it？

Disney is a big part of American culture．”Taking their kids to Disney is a tradition of passage（成长惯例），something they remember from their youth and want to experience with their kids，”said Matt Schulz，an expert at LendingTree．

As Alyssa Leach，a 38﹣year﹣old mother，told The New York Times：”I’ ll make more money，but my son will never be that young again．”

High prices of food，bus and hotel rooms in the park are some of the reasons．For example，in July，a hotel room for a family could be between ＄182（about 1，294 yuan） and ＄1，079（about 7，673 yuan） per night．

The habit of using credit cards（信用卡） to buy things also leads to the situation．For Disney World vacations，people in the US always put down ＄200 to hold their tickets and place to stay in Disney，and then pay the rest with credit cards．So they might find out after the trip that they go into debt，reported The New York Times．

（1）What is the main idea of Paragraph 1？ 　   　

A．Disney Parks are not popular in the US．

B．Disney Parks put a burden on many US families．

C．Walt Disney World is only for children．

D．Americans do not enjoy visiting Disney Parks．

（2）What percentage（百分比） of the 2，000 US Disney visitors with children under 18 who went into debt had no regrets about it？

（3）Why do many parents have no regrets about going into debt for a Disney trip？ 　   　

A．They can easily pay off the debt．

B．They think it is important in kids’ lives．

C．They want to show off their wealth．

D．They get a discount on their next visit．

（4）Which of the following is NOT a reason for the high financial burden of a Disney trip？ 　   　

A．The cost of food in the park．

B．The price of bus tickets to the park．

C．The cost of hotel rooms．

D．The cost of flights to Florida．

（5）What can we learn about the spending habits of Americans from the passage？ 　   　

A．Americans prefer to pay in cash for their entire trip．

B．Americans save money for years before going to Disney World．

C．Americans often use credit cards to pay for their Disney trips．

D．Americans borrow money from friends instead of using credit cards．

4．（7．5分）Social media（社交媒体） has its positive aspects，but it can also bring some problems．

Have you ever been bored and decided to check your We Chat moments，only to find out that your best friend is at the Great Wall or one of your classmates is eating delicious noodles at your favorite restaurant，or one of your basketball teammates is visiting the giant pandas in Sichuan？Have you had the feeling that others are enjoying life more than you are？If your answers are both “Yes”，you are experiencing FOMO—the fear of missing out．

Researchers have found that over 75%of young people are experiencing FOMO from time to time．Social media is the main culprit for it．Because it is so easy today for people to see what their friends are doing，eating，buying and talking about．And they are afraid of missing out on important and new information when they are away from social networks．However，it is impossible for us to enjoy the same activities others are enjoying on social media．Failing to realize this truth，we often let FOMO lead us to compare our lives with those of others．This comparison leaves us feeling dissatisfied．However，our lives have both good and bad moments，but all we see on social media are the picture﹣perfect moments others share．FOMO also makes us check social media more often，which can cause feelings of sadness，loneliness and boredom．

So what should we do if we have FOMO？Researchers advised that we face it and change our way of thinking．They also explained that taking part in social activities could help us realize that nothing bad was happening．What’s more，they suggested finding the joy in the present and not believing the unreal information or news on the Internet． “Take it as a chance to do what you really love，and turn your FOMO into your JOMO—joy of missing out，” one researcher said．

（1）What is the main purpose of Paragraph 2？ 　   　

A．To show what FOMO is with examples．

B．To find out if people suffer from FOMO．

C．To ask questions about people’s daily lives．

D．To give examples about people’s using social media．

（2）Which one can replace the word “culprit” in Paragraph 3？ 　   　

A．purposeB．causeC．resultD．problem

（3）According to paragraph 3，why does social media make people feel dissatisfied？ 　   　

A．Because our lives have both good and bad moments．

B．Because it leads us to compare our lives with those of others．

C．Because it is impossible for us to make friends by social media．

D．Because we can see the picture﹣prefect moments．

（4）According to the last paragraph，what are the right ways to deal with FOMO？ 　   　

①Join a voluntary group．

②Accept what you are having now．

③Check your friends’ We Chat moments from time to time．

④Develop your hobbies．

⑤Stop believing the news on the Internet．

A．③④⑤B．②③⑤C．①④⑤D．①②④

（5）What can be the best title of this passage？

C．FOMO：Get out of it!

D．Social media：Guard against it!
