From Alton Towers to Legoland, our experts pick their favorite British theme parks, highlighting the best roller coasters, character-led attractions, and anima safaris(狩猎旅行) .
Drayton Manor
The Staffordshire theme park includes rides for all ages but stands out for having hit on a winning formula for young families with its expanding Thomas Land section. The 286-acre site is set in woodlands but the main village is enough for little legs to explore, making it well suited to pre-and primary schoolchildren.
Paul tons Family ThemePark
On the edge of New Forest National Park, in Hampshire, Paul tons Family Theme Parks its in 140 acres of attractive parkland. Although overshadowed by Thorpe Park and Alton Towers in terms of big rides. the park is home to Peppa Pig World as well as 60rides and attractions, and is best for families with young children.
Chessington World of Adventures
This park in Surrey has injected novelty(新奇) this year with the launch of its exclusive Gruffalo River Ride Adventure, raising its status as a family-friendly destination. The park also provides added family value with the opportunity to get a close-up interaction with animals including monkey walk-through sand the Zufari safari experience.
Legoland Windsor

This is the entry-level theme park for families with kids below the age of 12, with bucket-loads to keep them happy.

It was an early blow to my self-confidence. I was attending my first group meeting in the lab as a postdoc, and I was pleased that I could follow most of the discussion. Then, in front of everyone, the professor turned to me and asked about my previous accomplishments. I froze. As a PhD student, I had achieved lots to be proud of. But all of those were in my home country of Brazil. Now I was in Washington, DC and I didn’t know what the word “accomplishment” meant. So all I could say was “I don’t know”.
I had decided to do a postdoc abroad because I thought the training would help me secure a teaching position. I applied for and received a Brazilian government fellowship to spend 18 months working abroad and got a position in a lab. It all seemed so easy—until I actually started.
In a new country, I struggled. After the mortifying lab meeting incident, my confidence took another hit. The paper I intended to publish did not materialize. I used to be invited to give talks. Now, I was asked to speak more slowly because of my accent. My confidence was destroyed.
After months of self-doubt, I reminded myself that I had potential. I needed to do something to regain my confidence. I thought a change of environment might be what I needed. So I made the move.
In another new lab. I still felt insecure. However, I was determined to make the most of the time I had. There were more opportunities to interact with others, which forced me to talk more. It was awful at first, but with practice I began to feel more confident in my English. I proposed new projects. I began to receive positive feedback on my presentations.
My confidence is back. I feel a little like Wonder Woman. She was a strong soldier in her homeland. When she left, she experienced obstacles and failures only to become even stronger than before.
24. What was the author’s reaction when asked about her previous achievements
A. She felt insecure. B. She kept silent.
C. She was at a loss. D. She felt proud.
25. Why did the author go abroad
A. To apply for government fellowship. B. To get a doctor’s degree.
C. To build her own lab. D. To gain experience for a position.
26. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to
A. I didn’t give a proper response in a lab meeting.
B. The paper I intended to publish did not materialize.
C. I was asked to speak more slowly because of my accent.
D. I reminded myself that I had potential.
27. What can be the best title for the text
A. A lab meeting incident B. I found my inside Wonder Woman
C. Brazilians’ confidence improved D. Poor English ruined opportunity
C
Almost everyone has heard the expression, “the calm before the storm”. It is usually used to describe a peaceful period just before a very stressful situation or a tense argument.
British sailors coined the phrase in the late 1600s; they noted that before certain storms the seas would seem to become static and the winds would drop.
But why is it often so calm before a storm
Science has given us the answer. According to US infotainment (资讯娱乐) website How Stuff Works, a calm period occurs because many storms, such as tornadoes and hurricanes, draw in all the warm and humid air from the surrounding area. As this air rises into the storm clouds, it cools and acts as “fuel for the storm, like petrol in a car”.
Once the storm has taken all the energy it can from the air, it is pushed out from the top of the storm clouds and falls back down to ground level. As the air descends, it becomes warm and dry. Warm, dry air is stable, so once it covers an area, it causes a calm period before the storm.
This same process also causes the “eye of the storm” in hurricanes and tornadoes. In these conditions, the calm occurs in the center of the storm because of the strong rotating winds.
The Weather Network has a tip for working out how far away a storm is. First, count how many seconds there are between a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder. Roughly three seconds equal one kilometer. So, for example, if you count nine seconds, the storm is about 3 kilometers away. A good evaluation is that if your count is below 30 seconds, you should seek shelter straight away.
However, due to the complexity of storm system, not all storms are preceded by calm. Given the right conditions, some storms announce themselves with heavy rain and chilling winds.
So, your best bet is to keep yourself updated with weather reports for any predictions regarding a coming storm in your area. That’s the most reliable and sensible way to predict the next display of nature’s temper.
28. The underlined word “static” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. violent B. quiet C. fast-changing D. warm
29. What is the main idea of Paragraphs 4 and 5
A. To explain how a storm comes into being.
B. To support previous research on storm clouds.
C. To explain why a peaceful period occurs before a storm.
D. To show how dangerous a storm can be in certain situations.
30. If there are 15 seconds between a flash of lightning and a thunder clap, how far away is the storm
A. Three kilometers. B. Four kilometers.
C. Five kilometers. D. Six kilometers.
31. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A. Storms have a big influence on life.
B. It is not always quiet before a storm.
C. Weather reports may fail to predict a storm.
D. Heavy storms don’t usually last for a long time.
D
“It’s a big hammer to crack a nut.” This is how one angry parent described the recent crackdown (严厉的打击) by London police on parents who drop their kids off at school by car. Yes, you read that correctly—the very way of transportation that many American schools insist is the only safe way to deliver kids to school is now considered illegal in the UK.
The decision to fine any vehicles seen dropping off or picking up kids within a particular zone of east London comes from city councillors’ (议员) long-term efforts to make the area safer and less crowded. They say they’ve been trying for years “to encourage reasonable parking”, but in vain. Neighborhood residents complain frequently about their driveways being blocked by illegally parked cars for 15 minutes or more, often while they’re trying to get to work, and the streets are long overcrowded.
Now the rules have changed. Some parents are angry. Angie is a mother who made the “big hammer” comment and says the crackdown is “way over the top.” The nearest drop-off point for her six-year-old is now a five-minute walk from the school. Others are happy with the decision, serious though it may seem. Councillor Jason Frost said:
“Traffic has significantly reduced, and more children are now walking to school, which is a great result. I would rather have complaints that we are slightly inconveniencing parents than hear that a child had been seriously injured because nothing was done.”
I see daily the disorder created by these in-town drivers, when I walk my own kids to school. There’s a parking lot crowded with vehicles and a slow-moving train of cars moving in circles, many filling the air with harmful smoke. Meanwhile, the conversations around overweight children and the importance of daily physical activities continue to stand out in schools.
32. What can be seen after the crackdown is carried out
A. Less daily disorder. B. Favor from all people.
C. More over-weight children. D. Complaints from neighbors.
33. Why is Angie Baillieul against the new rule
A. She is often fined by London police.
B. She will lose her job as a school driver.
C. She has adapted to the American practice.
D. She thinks it adds inconvenience to her kid.
34. What concerned Jason Frost most
A. Students’ safety. B. Students’ health.
C. People’s complaints. D. Parents’ inconvenience.
35. What’s the passage mainly about
A. Parents attempt to resist a school rule
B. London police cause widespread anger
C. American schools care about kids’ safety
D. Different voices are heard on a new traffic policy

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。
After a very meaningful conversation with my dad about the old days, we came up with an object that we both remembered clearly. It was my very first bicycle. My mind told me I got it when I was seven, who was cheated to ride it for fifty yards alone the first time I tried!
My dad put together all the small pieces of the bicycle from a beautiful material that he called, "Your own car." Of course I knew he had some magical ability, but I didn't think he could make such an awesome object. He added the seat and the pedals (踏板) so that I would not have any problems. My dad recalled the bicycle was the smallest he could find while I remember how huge it was. I was so afraid of it and there was no way that I was going to control that monster sized material. The bicycle was left in my backyard as a decoration for a month because I refused to ride it. Honestly, I was scared to try it.
After a month, my dad gave me a lecture to teach me what being a man was all about. I was finally determined to try it. My dad was proud of me and I felt very manly. He and I went to the park to see what we could do there.
The park was empty when we arrived, I had no doubt that my dad told everybody not to be there because we had to use it. I felt sorry for other people, but I was proud to have such an omnipotent(全能的)person as my dad.
We found a smooth and open space. My dad was holding the back part of the seat to make sure I didn't fell. He promised me that I was not going to fall because he would be running right behind, holding the bicycle.
Para1: I started to pedal and the bicycle moved.
Para2: I turned around and found my dad was not behind.2022届江苏省七市二模英语考前适应卷

New Era, New Students
Admittedly, we generations are in a new era when the world is undergoing major changes unseen in a century. With great changes come new challenges and responsibilities. To better coping with these, we yet need to sweep away all the uncivilized phenomena in our school first.
Unaware of its value, some students take it for granted to waste food. Besides, in the library, certain students speak or talk aloud, disturbing and annoying others. Little as the matters seem to be, we cannot afford to overlook the serious consequences they will bring. So I suggest that the school post more noticeable slogans and make relevant rules to help students rid of those uncivilized behaviours.
As students in the new era, I sincerely hope that we can become a better us to make contributions to the society.
读后续写:
I started to pedal and the bicycle moved. The move of the bicycle shook my body bitterly, tossing me into a whirlpool of horror and fear. I was afraid to look ahead, even closing my eyes. “Come on, honey. I’m behind you.” Dad exclaimed in high spirits, which reminded me of his promise. There was seemingly some magic in his voice, and I struggled to calm down. I was so preoccupied that I was unaware of the elapse of time. At this moment, I realized that I made it to ride a bicycle unconsciously, about to share the delight with my dad.
I turned around and found my dad was not behind. Totally shocked, I was scanning around for my dad’s whereabouts, finding he was in situ where I started my pedaling. Hearing my narration of the story, Dad couldn’t help laughing, eyes beaming with joy. I had nothing to say but smiling back, proud to have such an omnipotent person as my dad.

W: For hundreds of years, visitors to Loch Ness, the famous lake in Scotland, have described seeing a monster-like creature that some people believe lives deep in the lake. They call it “Nessie”.
Among the many theories about Nessie, the most well-known one is that Nessie is a long-necked dinosaur that somehow survived after other dinosaurs died out. Some other people believe that the creature is actually an extremely large fish. Now the mystery of Nessie may have no place to hide. A New Zealand professor is leading his international team to the lake next month. They plan to take some of the water and study genetic material from the lake to see what species live there. The 51-year-old professor says he does not believe the stories about Nessie at all, but he wants to take people on an interesting trip and communicate some science to them along the way.The professor said that when creatures move in water, they leave small pieces of their DNA behind. He and his team will take water from different points around the lake and at different depths. After removing the impure material from the water, they will compare the acquired DNA with all known species. He said they should have answers by the end of the year.
