Question

【題目】 China's "Little People's Kingdom" is a theme park, where little people dance and sing in fairytale costumes, drawing both curious groups and criticism. The theme park, near Kunming City in Yunnan Province, employs 108 dwarfs from across the country, who gather on an artificial hillside twice a day to dance and sing for tourists. And all pretend to live in a tiny hilltop village.

The guests can watch shows like comedies, group dance and acrobatics. The show's centerpiece, a funny performance of Swan Lake, sees performers dressed in special pink costumes and pretending to be little swans." The first time I performed it (Swan Lake)I felt a bit embarrassed. I had never worn a skirt like that before. But later, once I got used to it, I found I could do it very well," said Chen Ruan, 21, from Hunan Province who joined the park when it opened.

For many of the employees, the park offers a rare opportunity to find work. As unlikely as it seems for men and women doing daily funny performances of Swan Lake, they think that it feels good to live in dormitories that look like caves while living with people with similar experiences. In addition, the life facilities in the park are made according to their special needs. Besides, performers in the park earn 2,000 yuan a month, around twice the salary of a high school graduate.

The founder of the park, Chen Ming, made his fortune by producing electronics and investing, but said he had always wanted to help the disadvantaged groups in the community. People, like human right activists for the disabled, think that such a park only encourages the discrimination against little people. The only requirement for participants to be employed at the theme park is to be shorter than 51 inches and be able to take care of themselves in daily life. The youngest employee is 18, and the oldest 48.

A.do good for society

C.create a ballet show of Swan Lake

D.let people know more about the dwarfs

【2】After living in the "Little People's Kingdom" for some time, many employees feel ________.

【答案】

【1】A

【2】D

【3】B

【解析】

本篇是說明文，主要描述了小人王國主題公園的創(chuàng)建，公園里都是侏儒人，公園為這些特殊的人提供了特殊幫助。

【1】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章最后一段“The founder of the park, Chen Ming, made his fortune by producing electronics and investing, but said he had always wanted to help the disadvantaged groups in the community.”公園的創(chuàng)始者陳明通過生產(chǎn)電子產(chǎn)品和投資來掙錢，但是他總是想要去幫助社區(qū)里的弱勢群體。所以這里陳明建立公園是為了對社會做出貢獻。故選A項。

【2】

推理判斷題。由文章第三段“For many of the employees, the park offers a rare opportunity to find work. As unlikely as it seems for men and women doing daily funny performances of Swan Lake, they think that it feels good to live in dormitories that look like caves while living with people with similar experiences.”對于很多員工來說，公園給他們提供了一個難得的工作機會，對于男人和女人來說，日常天鵝湖的有趣表演不太可能，但是他們認(rèn)為和有相同經(jīng)歷的人一起生活在像洞穴一樣的宿舍里感覺非常好。由此判斷出里員工對于公園的生活是滿意的。故選D項。

【3】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第一段“The theme park, near Kunming City in Yunnan Province, employs 108 dwarfs from across the country, who gather on an artificial hillside twice a day to dance and sing for tourists.”在云南省昆明市附近的主題公園，在全國雇傭了108位侏儒，他們每天兩次在公園假山坡上為游客表演歌舞。故選B項。
