Four Theme Parks in Florida
Here are four of the best theme parks in Florida so you can start planning your next trip. Busch Gardens Tampa Bay
Home to over 50 attractions, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is an animal-focused theme park with an emphasis on keeping rare animals. Here, you’ll find the tallest and fastest roller coaster (过山车) in the world, Montu, as well as the area’s largest zoo, with over 200 animal species. One of its newest coasters is the heart-stopping Iron Gwazi which ascends (上升) 206 feet in the air and reaches speeds of up to 76 miles per hour. Magic Kingdom Park
This park set the standard for the Florida theme park industry we know today when it opened in 1971. Today, Magic Kingdom Park bridges the old with the new, inviting guests to relive the tales of childhood and enjoy beloved attractions, like Pirates of the Caribbean. It’s also the home of Disney World’s newest ride, TRON Lightcycle/ Run, an exciting roller coaster. Legoland Florida
Themed with the brightly coloured bricks, Legoland Florida is the place for the next generation of excitement seekers, home to entry-level roller coasters and kid-friendly attractions. The park’s newest attractions include Pirate River Quest, a scenic boat ride through the former Cypress Garden. While the attractions may focus on younger guests, this is really a park for everyone.
Universal Studios Florida
Inspired by the greatest moments from entertainment history, Universal Studios Florida is a movie and television-themed park that began as an actual working studio. Several lands pay homage (致敬) to iconic sets, including San Francisco and New York.

Ekaterina Sky, a wildlife conservation artist, inspires people to reconnect with nature and animals through her work. Her love for animals led her to become a vegan(素食者), and she uses art as a creative outlet to promote kindness to all life. The fact that her work carries such an important message for the planet makes her paintings even more beautiful and moving.
“I can feel the suffering of our planet and the pain that is being caused to animals,” she said. “My mission is to speak up for those who can’t.”
Ekaterina began her art journey at The School of Fine Arts in Yaroslavl, Russia. There, she completed a fine arts program, which gave her the background she needed to become a conservation artist. She also received a scholarship to The Art School of Museum of Tel-Aviv. There, she expanded upon her knowledge and skills, learning to create her own unique style.
Recently, Ekaterina went on a tour to different countries worldwide, painting murals(壁画) of various endangered species. With each mural, she made the audience look directly into the animals’ eyes. This helps them connect more with the animals and perhaps helps them realize their interconnectedness with the animals. “Each animal was colorful to highlight their uniqueness and individuality,” Ekaterina said.
Her main goal is to connect people with animals, even in the most crowded urban places. We have greatly lost our connection to Mother Earth and all the creatures who inhabit it. Ekaterina’s work can help raise awareness about the fact that we all have to coexist here. She says our urban lifestyles make us forget about all the endangered species that we can help protect by making different choices.
“As I believe, we connect through our eyes, which are windows into our soul, and I believe that when we get to meet someone’s soul, we don’t have a heart to hurt them,” Ekaterina said.
4．What inspires Ekaterina Sky to create art
A．Her childhood. B．Her love for animals.
C．Her scholarships. D．Her travels.

6．How does Ekaterina Sky’s artwork contribute to wildlife conservation
A．By raising funds. B．By providing scientific data.
C．By increasing public awareness. D．By influencing the local policy.
7．What can we learn from Ekaterina’s words in the last paragraph
A．Art doesn’t influence people’s feelings.
B．Urban life helps protect endangered species.
C．She seeks to expose environmental harm.
D．She trusts our eyes link us to animals through art.
Farmers are celebrating their rice harvest by singing and dancing on the farm. This is Wanbao Mozambique rice farm, China’s largest rice planting project in Africa. Here, if people can speak hello in Chinese, “ni hao”, they most certainly also know another Chinese term Wanbao, the name of a Chinese rice farm project.
Through the fertile (肥沃的) area in south Mozambique, the Limpopo River is flowing into the Indian Ocean in the Xai-Xai district. Benefiting from the vast farmland, a suitable climate, enough water and the support from China, the project is creating a bright future for the people here.
Through cooperative planting methods, Wanbao is helping the local farmers develop successful rice plantations. It not only provides seeds, farm chemicals and fertilizers, but also does land leveling and water pumping (抽水).
To have good harvests, farmers work hard and learn from the Chinese. Now the local farmers’ love for farming is growing and they are getting richer and richer.
“I’ve benefited a lot from the rice farming and learned to produce rice using Chinese technologies on one hectare (公顷) of land,” says a mother of five children. “With the money, I have improved my life a lot. I have built my house and my children are going to school.”
An old farmer is now even teaching other farmers how to grow rice. He is cultivating crops over 40 hectares. “Thanks to the project, both my children and grandchildren are living a stable life. Now I go to the fields to support the other farmers with teaching. I hope Wanbao will extend the growing areas to other corners of the county in the future to help fight poverty,” he says.
8．Why does the author mention “ni hao” in the first paragraph
A．To show the popularity of the project in Mozambique.
B．To indicate farmers’ Chinese language skills.
C．To prove the importance of Chinese in Mozambique.
D．To suggest Chinese is a requirement for working on the farm.
9．What can we know about the Wanbao project
A．It plants trees in urban areas. B．It teaches locals Chinese.
C．It improves the local climate. D．It offers farming technologies for locals.
10．What does the underlined word “cultivating” in the last paragraph mean
A．Preparing. B．Growing. C．Selling. D．Pulling.
11．In which section of a website is the text likely to be found
A．Travel. B．Education. C．Agriculture. D．Art.
Kids everywhere love to play. And they know that a ball is a perfect thing to play with. Now scientists report bumblebees (大黄蜂) seem to know the same thing, making bumblebees the first insects known to play.
Lots of animals play: But the behavior is best known in mammals (哺乳动物) and birds. For many animals, playing is often seen as a kind of practice for things they’ll have to deal with in later life. But before this, there were no reports of insects playing.
Dr. Lars Chittka did an earlier experiment, where he trained bumblebees to roll balls into a goal for food. He noticed some bees were rolling balls even when they weren’t rewarded. He wondered whether they were playing for rewards or not.
To test the idea, he with other scientists set up a new experiment. First, they marked 45 young bumblebees, both male and female, between one and 23 days old. Then they set up a clear pathway from the bumblebees’ nest to a feeding area. On either side of the open pathway, small colored wooden balls were placed. On one side of the path, the balls couldn’t move. On the other side, the balls could roll around.
For three hours, a day over 14 days, the scientists opened the pathway. The bumblebees never had to leave the pathway to find food, but they left anyway. They weren’t so interested in the side where the balls couldn’t move, but they made lots of visits to the side with the rolling balls.
Grabbing the balls with their legs, the bumblebees would beat their wings to pull on the balls, causing them to roll. The 45 marked bumblebees did this 910 times during the experiment. Though some only did it once, others did it a lot. The scientists found the younger bumblebees spent more time rolling balls, and that males seemed more likely to play than females.
The scientists say it’s not clear why the bumblebees roll the balls or whether they enjoy it. But the experiment raises important questions about how the insects’ minds work and whether they have feelings.
12．What is the common view about animals’ playing behavior
A．A form of fight. B．A form of training.
C．A form of labor. D．A form of performance.
13．Why did Dr. Lars Chittka conduct the new experiment
A．To train bumblebees to play with balls.
B．To figure out bumblebees’ feeding style.
C．To explore if bumblebees play without a reward.
D．To observe how bees interact with different objects:
14．What did the scientists find during the experiment
A．Bumblebees only played with balls when food was involved.
B．Female bumblebees were more interested in playing than males.
C．Older bumblebees spent more time rolling balls than younger ones.
D．Bumblebees preferred balls that could roll to those that couldn’t.
15．What is the main idea of the text
A．The purpose of insects playing is to prepare for life.
B．Dr. Lars Chittka discovered a new way to train bees.
C．Bumblebees are the first insects known to play.
D．Playing is common among mammals and birds.
How to Beat Boredom over the Summer

五、书面表达
47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
During my high school years, I was part of the school band, a group that was not just about music but also about good-fellowship (友情) and shared experiences. We had a special event each year: the music festival at a well-known theme park. It was an opportunity for us to showcase our talents and enjoy the pleasure of the park. To make this event meaningful, we organized a fundraising campaign, selling chocolate bars throughout our community. It was a simple plan but one that required us to connect with our neighbors and ask for their support. There were always heart- warming encounters.
One sunny afternoon, I approached a neighbor’s home. The lady who answered the door greeted me with a smile and, after hearing about our cause, she decided to support us by purchasing several bars.
As we were nearing the end, the lady’s little girl, who was about three or four years old and had been watching our actions, ran out. The little girl came back with a bill in her hand, a little dirt on it. She was eager to give it to me and said, “I want to be like Mom and support you.” The lady was surprised and said it was saved by the girl herself. Her lovely face and eager eyes made it hard for me to say no. I tried to explain to her that her mother was already buying some chocolate, but she was determined. Neither her mother nor I could dissuade (劝阻) her from her newfound task of handing me the dollar bill. I knew that I couldn’t put her mother in a position to buy more chocolate than she had originally intended. I couldn’t accept the little girl’s money.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国传统节气大暑的气候特点、文化意义以及与之相关的传统习俗和健康小贴士。
36．考查形容词最高级。句意：在大暑期间，中国大部分地区进入一年中最热的季节。根据空格前的the可知，此处用the+形容词最高级，表示在某个范围内“最……的”意思，再根据提示词可知，这里指的是一年中最热的季节。故填hottest。
37．考查动词的时态与语态。句意：在中国，24节气是几千年前为指导农业生产而创造的。分析句子结构可知，the 24 solar terms与create之间存在被动关系，且根据时间状语thousands of years ago可知，此处需要使用一般过去时的被动语态。故填were created。
38．考查动词的时态与主谓一致。句意：但节气文化今天仍然有用，通过特殊的食物，文化仪式，甚至健康的生活技巧来指导人们的生活。分析句子结构可知，solar term culture是本句的主语，故谓语动词用be动词的单数形式，且根据today可知，此处需要使用一般现在时。故填is。
39．考查连词。句意：大暑时节阳光充足、高温和大量降雨有益于农作物的生长。根据句意可知，空格前后是并列关系，所以此处用and连接两个并列的事物。故填and。
40．考查名词复数。句意：但就像小暑一样，许多自然灾害，如洪水、干旱和台风也会在大暑期间发生。根据前面的many natural disasters such as floods可知，此处需要填入复数形式，又因为drought是可数名词，所以用名词复数形式。故填droughts。
41．考查非谓语动词。句意：因此，为了避免自然灾害造成的破坏，及时收获和种植非常重要。分析句子结构可知，此处不定式作目的状语，表示及时收获和种植的目的是“避免”自然灾害造成的损失。故填to avoid。
42．考查定语从句。句意：草粿，中文里也叫仙草冻，是由一种特殊的草制成的，这种草的茎和叶在晒干后可以做成草本果冻。分析句式结构可知，此处是定语从句，修饰a special grass，由于定语从句中缺少定语，所以用关系代词whose来引导。故填whose。
43．考查定冠词。句意：同上。由于sun是世界上独一无二的事物，所以用定冠词the。故填the。
44．考查形容词。句意：由于草粿具有惊人的消暑能力，在广东省有一句流行的说法：“大暑吃仙草，活如神仙不会老。”分析句子成分可知，这里需要一个形容词来修饰名词ability，因为ability指物，所以用形容词amazing表示草本果冻的这种能力是“令人惊叹的”。故填amazing。
45．考查词形转换。句意：同上。分析句式结构可知，此处需要一个形容词来修饰后面的名词saying，所以此处用提示词的形容词形式popular表示一个“流行的”谚语。故填popular。

Four Theme Parks in Florida
Here are four of the best theme parks in Florida so you can start planning your next trip. Busch Gardens Tampa Bay
Home to over 50 attractions, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is an animal-focused theme park with an emphasis on keeping rare animals. Here, you’ll find the tallest and fastest roller coaster (过山车) in the world, Montu, as well as the area’s largest zoo, with over 200 animal species. One of its newest coasters is the heart-stopping Iron Gwazi which ascends (上升) 206 feet in the air and reaches speeds of up to 76 miles per hour. Magic Kingdom Park
This park set the standard for the Florida theme park industry we know today when it opened in 1971. Today, Magic Kingdom Park bridges the old with the new, inviting guests to relive the tales of childhood and enjoy beloved attractions, like Pirates of the Caribbean. It’s also the home of Disney World’s newest ride, TRON Lightcycle/ Run, an exciting roller coaster. Legoland Florida
Themed with the brightly coloured bricks, Legoland Florida is the place for the next generation of excitement seekers, home to entry-level roller coasters and kid-friendly attractions. The park’s newest attractions include Pirate River Quest, a scenic boat ride through the former Cypress Garden. While the attractions may focus on younger guests, this is really a park for everyone.
Universal Studios Florida
Inspired by the greatest moments from entertainment history, Universal Studios Florida is a movie and television-themed park that began as an actual working studio.

Ekaterina Sky, a wildlife conservation artist, inspires people to reconnect with nature and animals through her work. Her love for animals led her to become a vegan(素食者), and she uses art as a creative outlet to promote kindness to all life. The fact that her work carries such an important message for the planet makes her paintings even more beautiful and moving.
“I can feel the suffering of our planet and the pain that is being caused to animals,” she said. “My mission is to speak up for those who can’t.”
Ekaterina began her art journey at The School of Fine Arts in Yaroslavl, Russia. There, she completed a fine arts program, which gave her the background she needed to become a conservation artist. She also received a scholarship to The Art School of Museum of Tel-Aviv. There, she expanded upon her knowledge and skills, learning to create her own unique style.
Recently, Ekaterina went on a tour to different countries worldwide, painting murals(壁画) of various endangered species. With each mural, she made the audience look directly into the animals’ eyes. This helps them connect more with the animals and perhaps helps them realize their interconnectedness with the animals. “Each animal was colorful to highlight their uniqueness and individuality,” Ekaterina said.
Her main goal is to connect people with animals, even in the most crowded urban places. We have greatly lost our connection to Mother Earth and all the creatures who inhabit it. Ekaterina’s work can help raise awareness about the fact that we all have to coexist here. She says our urban lifestyles make us forget about all the endangered species that we can help protect by making different choices.
“As I believe, we connect through our eyes, which are windows into our soul, and I believe that when we get to meet someone’s soul, we don’t have a heart to hurt them,” Ekaterina said.
4．What inspires Ekaterina Sky to create art
A．Her childhood. B．Her love for animals.
C．Her scholarships. D．Her travels.

A．By raising funds. B．By providing scientific data.
C．By increasing public awareness. D．By influencing the local policy.
7．What can we learn from Ekaterina’s words in the last paragraph
A．Art doesn’t influence people’s feelings.
B．Urban life helps protect endangered species.
C．She seeks to expose environmental harm.
D．She trusts our eyes link us to animals through art.
Farmers are celebrating their rice harvest by singing and dancing on the farm. This is Wanbao Mozambique rice farm, China’s largest rice planting project in Africa. Here, if people can speak hello in Chinese, “ni hao”, they most certainly also know another Chinese term Wanbao, the name of a Chinese rice farm project.
Through the fertile (肥沃的) area in south Mozambique, the Limpopo River is flowing into the Indian Ocean in the Xai-Xai district. Benefiting from the vast farmland, a suitable climate, enough water and the support from China, the project is creating a bright future for the people here.
Through cooperative planting methods, Wanbao is helping the local farmers develop successful rice plantations. It not only provides seeds, farm chemicals and fertilizers, but also does land leveling and water pumping (抽水).
To have good harvests, farmers work hard and learn from the Chinese. Now the local farmers’ love for farming is growing and they are getting richer and richer.
“I’ve benefited a lot from the rice farming and learned to produce rice using Chinese technologies on one hectare (公顷) of land,” says a mother of five children. “With the money, I have improved my life a lot. I have built my house and my children are going to school.”
An old farmer is now even teaching other farmers how to grow rice. He is cultivating crops over 40 hectares. “Thanks to the project, both my children and grandchildren are living a stable life. Now I go to the fields to support the other farmers with teaching. I hope Wanbao will extend the growing areas to other corners of the county in the future to help fight poverty,” he says.
8．Why does the author mention “ni hao” in the first paragraph
A．To show the popularity of the project in Mozambique.
B．To indicate farmers’ Chinese language skills.
C．To prove the importance of Chinese in Mozambique.
D．To suggest Chinese is a requirement for working on the farm.
9．What can we know about the Wanbao project
A．It plants trees in urban areas. B．It teaches locals Chinese.
C．It improves the local climate. D．It offers farming technologies for locals.
10．What does the underlined word “cultivating” in the last paragraph mean
A．Preparing. B．Growing. C．Selling. D．Pulling.
11．In which section of a website is the text likely to be found
A．Travel. B．Education. C．Agriculture. D．Art.
Kids everywhere love to play. And they know that a ball is a perfect thing to play with. Now scientists report bumblebees (大黄蜂) seem to know the same thing, making bumblebees the first insects known to play.
Lots of animals play: But the behavior is best known in mammals (哺乳动物) and birds. For many animals, playing is often seen as a kind of practice for things they’ll have to deal with in later life. But before this, there were no reports of insects playing.
Dr. Lars Chittka did an earlier experiment, where he trained bumblebees to roll balls into a goal for food. He noticed some bees were rolling balls even when they weren’t rewarded. He wondered whether they were playing for rewards or not.
To test the idea, he with other scientists set up a new experiment. First, they marked 45 young bumblebees, both male and female, between one and 23 days old. Then they set up a clear pathway from the bumblebees’ nest to a feeding area. On either side of the open pathway, small colored wooden balls were placed. On one side of the path, the balls couldn’t move. On the other side, the balls could roll around.
For three hours, a day over 14 days, the scientists opened the pathway. The bumblebees never had to leave the pathway to find food, but they left anyway. They weren’t so interested in the side where the balls couldn’t move, but they made lots of visits to the side with the rolling balls.
Grabbing the balls with their legs, the bumblebees would beat their wings to pull on the balls, causing them to roll. The 45 marked bumblebees did this 910 times during the experiment. Though some only did it once, others did it a lot. The scientists found the younger bumblebees spent more time rolling balls, and that males seemed more likely to play than females.
The scientists say it’s not clear why the bumblebees roll the balls or whether they enjoy it. But the experiment raises important questions about how the insects’ minds work and whether they have feelings.
12．What is the common view about animals’ playing behavior
A．A form of fight. B．A form of training.
C．A form of labor. D．A form of performance.
13．Why did Dr. Lars Chittka conduct the new experiment
A．To train bumblebees to play with balls.
B．To figure out bumblebees’ feeding style.
C．To explore if bumblebees play without a reward.
D．To observe how bees interact with different objects:
14．What did the scientists find during the experiment
A．Bumblebees only played with balls when food was involved.
B．Female bumblebees were more interested in playing than males.
C．Older bumblebees spent more time rolling balls than younger ones.
D．Bumblebees preferred balls that could roll to those that couldn’t.
15．What is the main idea of the text
A．The purpose of insects playing is to prepare for life.
B．Dr. Lars Chittka discovered a new way to train bees.
C．Bumblebees are the first insects known to play.
D．Playing is common among mammals and birds.
How to Beat Boredom over the Summer

五、书面表达
47．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
During my high school years, I was part of the school band, a group that was not just about music but also about good-fellowship (友情) and shared experiences. We had a special event each year: the music festival at a well-known theme park. It was an opportunity for us to showcase our talents and enjoy the pleasure of the park. To make this event meaningful, we organized a fundraising campaign, selling chocolate bars throughout our community. It was a simple plan but one that required us to connect with our neighbors and ask for their support. There were always heart- warming encounters.
One sunny afternoon, I approached a neighbor’s home. The lady who answered the door greeted me with a smile and, after hearing about our cause, she decided to support us by purchasing several bars.
As we were nearing the end, the lady’s little girl, who was about three or four years old and had been watching our actions, ran out. The little girl came back with a bill in her hand, a little dirt on it. She was eager to give it to me and said, “I want to be like Mom and support you.” The lady was surprised and said it was saved by the girl herself. Her lovely face and eager eyes made it hard for me to say no. I tried to explain to her that her mother was already buying some chocolate, but she was determined. Neither her mother nor I could dissuade (劝阻) her from her newfound task of handing me the dollar bill. I knew that I couldn’t put her mother in a position to buy more chocolate than she had originally intended. I couldn’t accept the little girl’s money.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国传统节气大暑的气候特点、文化意义以及与之相关的传统习俗和健康小贴士。
36．考查形容词最高级。句意：在大暑期间，中国大部分地区进入一年中最热的季节。根据空格前的the可知，此处用the+形容词最高级，表示在某个范围内“最……的”意思，再根据提示词可知，这里指的是一年中最热的季节。故填hottest。
37．考查动词的时态与语态。句意：在中国，24节气是几千年前为指导农业生产而创造的。分析句子结构可知，the 24 solar terms与create之间存在被动关系，且根据时间状语thousands of years ago可知，此处需要使用一般过去时的被动语态。故填were created。
38．考查动词的时态与主谓一致。句意：但节气文化今天仍然有用，通过特殊的食物，文化仪式，甚至健康的生活技巧来指导人们的生活。分析句子结构可知，solar term culture是本句的主语，故谓语动词用be动词的单数形式，且根据today可知，此处需要使用一般现在时。故填is。
39．考查连词。句意：大暑时节阳光充足、高温和大量降雨有益于农作物的生长。根据句意可知，空格前后是并列关系，所以此处用and连接两个并列的事物。故填and。
40．考查名词复数。句意：但就像小暑一样，许多自然灾害，如洪水、干旱和台风也会在大暑期间发生。根据前面的many natural disasters such as floods可知，此处需要填入复数形式，又因为drought是可数名词，所以用名词复数形式。故填droughts。
41．考查非谓语动词。句意：因此，为了避免自然灾害造成的破坏，及时收获和种植非常重要。分析句子结构可知，此处不定式作目的状语，表示及时收获和种植的目的是“避免”自然灾害造成的损失。故填to avoid。
42．考查定语从句。句意：草粿，中文里也叫仙草冻，是由一种特殊的草制成的，这种草的茎和叶在晒干后可以做成草本果冻。分析句式结构可知，此处是定语从句，修饰a special grass，由于定语从句中缺少定语，所以用关系代词whose来引导。故填whose。
43．考查定冠词。句意：同上。由于sun是世界上独一无二的事物，所以用定冠词the。故填the。
44．考查形容词。句意：由于草粿具有惊人的消暑能力，在广东省有一句流行的说法：“大暑吃仙草，活如神仙不会老。”分析句子成分可知，这里需要一个形容词来修饰名词ability，因为ability指物，所以用形容词amazing表示草本果冻的这种能力是“令人惊叹的”。故填amazing。
45．考查词形转换。句意：同上。分析句式结构可知，此处需要一个形容词来修饰后面的名词saying，所以此处用提示词的形容词形式popular表示一个“流行的”谚语。故填popular。
