Disney＋ has arrived in the UK and the timing couldn’t be better.With the pandemic
keeping people indoors，its collection of family-friendly movies is just what we need
right now.Here we’ve picked out some of the best films on Disney＋ UK to help get
you started.
Togo
The year is 1925 and a deadly epidemic has struck the Alaskan town of Nome.The
only cure is 600 miles away and a massive storm is about to strike the region.The only
hope of getting to the vaccine(疫苗) lies with Leonhard Seppala，and his lead sled
dog，Togo.The entire mission to save the town relies upon Togo’s ability to face the
challenging conditions.Added to all that，Togo is based on a true story.

accidentally shrinks his own children ， plus the kids from next door and then
unknowingly throws them in the trash.To become their normal size again，the six-

house.It’s something filled with danger when you’re smaller than an ant.An absolute
classic.

over 90 minutes，director Pete Docter takes us on the journey of Carl ，an oldwidower who is seeking out Paradise Falls.Carl’s trip，in his flying house，is made

Emerson，my 11-year-old daughter，is on a wild ride with the United States Postal
Service (USPS) and our mail carrier，Doug.She has a serious letter-writing habit and
maintains correspondence with her favourite people.If you’ve been the receiver of her
hand-decorated letters and envelopes，then I know they really make your day.
A letter from Emerson is likely to include some art，a joke and enough questions to
guarantee a response.But when she wrote a letter to Doug，she put something new in
it.“You may know me as the person living here that writes lots of letters...You’re
very important to me，helping me stay in touch with friends.I cheer people up with
my letters，and you do that too！” Emerson wrote.
The next day，a package arrived with two letters.One was from Doug and the otherfrom his superior，Sara，saying she had shared Emerson’s letter in the internal
newsletter(内部通讯)of the USPS and believed many postal folks wanted to thank
Emerson.Emerson was so pleased with the letter that it perturbed me much，for the
possible result of no reply would come as a blow to her.
Surprisingly，today，we saw Doug come with two boxes of letters from around the
country.These letters were so human，filled with stories about family，pets and a
sense of kindness.But there was something more in them.People felt seen—some for
the first time in a long time.“I work alone in a small rural post office...”“Not many
people think about how hard we work...”Emerson wrote back seriously.
I’m sharing this not because I’m a proud dad，but because it’s relatively easy，if we
take the time，to give others links they need to be good.We all want to be seen，
known and loved.Send a letter.Give a call.Take a step of bravery，like Emerson.
4.Why did Emerson write Doug a letter?
A.To make friends with him.
B.To express her appreciation.
C.To cheer him up.
D.To share her daily life.
5.What does the underlined word“perturbed”in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Touched. B.Astonished.
C.Delighted. D.Concerned.
6.Which of the following words can best describe Emerson?
A.Courageous and generous.
B.Energetic and ambitious.
C.Caring and grateful.
D.Capable and humourous.
7.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.People should connect with others actively.
B.People should care more about mail carriers.
C.People should face challenges with bravery.
D.People should show kindness to other people.Anyone wanting to help the poor may like this idea—recycling aluminum cans in a
different way，which is apparently also good for the environment.So you’re actually
killing two birds with one stone.It goes without saying that recycling aluminum cans
can save resources ， energy ， time and money.People usually save and place
aluminum cans in the dustbins ， which are then collected and taken away by
cleaners，who will finally recycle them in the recycling centre.But if you save the
aluminum cans，and skip the cleaners，you can save these same cans for something
more important—helping the poor.In other words，by doing this，you are giving the
environmental cause some new significance.
Here is how to put this idea into action.Take your aluminum cans and place them in a
plastic bag.For the dirty ones，rinse them out first.Store the bag of clean aluminum
cans.Once you collect about one hundred cans or more，take the cans to the recycle
centre yourself.There are about eighteen aluminum cans in a pound.And you can
receive three to four dollars for one hundred cans.Donate your three to four dollars to
the poor or any charity organization of your choice.
By now，you may wonder if your few dollars have really made a difference to the
poor.Consider this：Is there any individual or any specific event that is great enough
to change the world or decide the direction that history takes？The answer is probably
no.What if there were a lot of people who would do the same thing？History shows
nothing but the collective will of the whole community.And that will surely be
powerful enough to make a bigger difference.
Go to your community or your school and spread your idea.Share your idea and save
your aluminum cans with other people.One hundred people can speak louder than
one.And the money you make by saving cans can be multiplied by one hundred
times.And if more people join in the cause around the world ， an even larger
difference can be made，and more people in need will enjoy the benefits.
8.What’s special about the new idea?
A.It makes profits.
B.It saves resources.C.It benefits the poor.
D.It involves cleaners.
9.What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A.Dirty cans do not sell well.
B.You decide who receives the money.
C.A hundred cans weigh about 3 pounds.
D.The recycle centre is conveniently located.
10.What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?
A.A great individual or event.
B.The direction history takes.
C.The collective will of people.
D.The neighbourhood you live in.
11.Which of the following does the writer want to tell us?
A.Many hands make light work.
B.Kill two birds with one stone.
C.Don’t put the cart before the horse.
D.No man can do two things at once.
Ⅱ.七选五
(2024·四川九市联考)
The Oxford Dictionary describes staycation as “a holiday spent in one’s home
country rather than abroad, or one spent at home and involving day trips to local
attractions.” __1__
It gives you almost 100% of restful time with little to no prep.Stop to consider the
following: the ratio (比例) of quality time that’s spent on relaxation is more important
than the number of days for holidays.__2__ For instance, a weekend break that
consists of long travel on either side is no recipe (良方) for relaxation.
This is one of the reasons why staycations are more refreshing than vacations.__3__
Instead of losing time and energy preparing for a vacation, a staycation will provide
you with high-quality resting time.You’ll get back to work feeling more refreshed,
and relaxed.__4__ Staycations also tick some of the same boxes as vacations like experiencing
new things.You just need to explore nearby things which you have never paid
attention to.Often we overlook the attractions that are near to us.__5__ However, if
you make an effort to explore the area close to where you live, you may be pleasantly
surprised.There will be cafes and restaurants you’ve never tried, historic buildings
you’ve never seen before, and nature parks you’ve never visited.So with a little effort
on your part, you’ll be able to experience new and exciting things close to home.
A.They act as real breaks from work and life pressure.
B.If you give this some thought, you’ll realize that it’s true.
C.A vacation can leave you more tired than before your trip.
D.In addition, it can offer you fresh experiences immediately.
E.Let’s take a look at the great things about taking a staycation.
F.Staycations don’t mean long traveling, which costs you a lot less.
G.We often choose to spend big amounts of money visiting foreign countries.
