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 tourist spots, 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 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 goes up 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 experience the stories of childhood again and enjoy favorite 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 spots. The park’s newest spots include Pirate River Quest, a boat ride through the former Cypress Garden. While the spots 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 typical sets, including San Francisco and New York. This is also where kids can find The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Diagon Alley, one of the most impressive theme parks ever built.
21．What can you find in Busch Gardens Tampa Bay

According to related new research, tropical cyclones(热带气旋), ranging from hurricanes to typhoons, are moving more slowly across the planet than they did decades ago, meaning that they get more destructive power and last longer.
It may seem like a good thing that cyclones crawl at a slower speed, but in fact it’s quite the opposite. Although the cyclones are moving slower across the ground, they still get high wind speeds inside, which on the contrary makes hard rains stay longer over communities.
“Nothing good comes out of a slowing storm,” says James Kossin, with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations Center for Weather and Climate in Madison, Wisconsin. “It can increase storm surge. It can increase the amount of time that structures are subjected to strong wind. And it increases rainfall.”
According to Kossin’s findings, changing storm patterns are causing greater destruction in another way. He noted that the speed of global tropical cyclones slowed by an average of 10 percent from 1949 to 2016. The pace of the storms slowed even more as they made landfall in some regions. In the western North Pacific, it declined by nearly a third. That means there will be more time for a storm that may already contain much moisture (水汽) to release more of it in each spot.
Basing his research on the details of nearly 70 years’ worth of storms, Kossin did not try to determine the cause of the slowdown. Even so, the shift is, exactly as he and other cyclone experts said, the expected result of climate change.
Kossin’s work was considered to be “pretty convincing” by Christina Patricola, a scientist with the Climate and Ecosystem Sciences Division of California’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
It is Kossin’s hope that a model demonstrating which communities are likely to be at the highest risk could be developed by scientists. Given that in some regions, the storms are moving poleward and gaining in strength as well, places not normally passed by could be affected by unusually heavy rainfall as a result. “These are not good things to be combining,” he says.
24．Why are cyclones more destructive when they crawl more slowly
A．They get higher wind speeds inside.
B．They cause more serious climate change.
C．They move poleward and affect more regions.
D．They make rains and winds stay longer over a place.
25．What has Kossin found about the western North Pacific
A．The speed of the storms there slows more.
B．It has much wetter air.
C．It has higher risk of being hit by storms.
D．The storms there cause less damage.
26．What’s Christina Patricola’s attitude to Kossin’s work？
A．Ambiguous. B．Cautious. C．Critical. D．Approving.
27．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A．Entertainment. B．Science. C．Health. D．Education.

Farmers often lose crops because they cannot spot diseases fast enough. When a virus (病毒) spreads, it can destroy many plants and hurt nearby farms too. In Tanzania, several viruses attack crops every year. Farmers used to wait six months or more for lab results, but now a small, hand-held tool is changing everything.
The tool is made by a British company. It looks like a little box and is easy to carry to any field. First, a farmer cuts a tiny piece from a sick leaf. The tool then pulls out the plant’s DNA and reads it. Within two hours, it tells the farmer which virus is hurting the crop. This speed is very important, because the quicker the answer, the sooner the farmer can act.
After testing, farmer Asha Mohamed learned exactly which viruses were on her land. She was given two kinds of new seeds that can control those viruses. She planted them right away. Nine months later, scientists came back and saw tall, healthy plants and a big harvest. The same tool was also used in Kenya on Naomi Mumo’s pawpaw trees. The quick test showed the exact disease, and Naomi could choose the right treatment.
Because the tool is small and runs on batteries, farmers can use it anywhere. They do not need a big lab or a long waiting time. By finding viruses early and choosing resistant seeds, farmers protect their crops, their neighbors’ crops, and their income.
32．What was the main problem farmers faced in the past
A．A lack of modern farming techniques. B．A shortage of high-quality farming land.
C．A slow process to find diseases in crops. D．An inability to afford necessary supplies.
33．How does the hand-held tool help farmers
A．By watering the crops when needed. B．By increasing the growth speed of the crops.
C．By reading the plant’s DNA to find the virus. D．By predicting which diseases will spread next.
34．What happened to farmer Asha Mohamed after she used the tool
A．She got more land to plant her crops on. B．She received money to help pay for her farm.
C．She was given special seeds that stop viruses. D．All her crops became completely disease-proof.
35．Where is the text most likely from
A．A diary. B．A guidebook. C．A fairy novel. D．A science magazine.
Perhaps you’ve heard the old saying “curiosity killed the cat.” It’s a phrase that’s often used to warn people — especially children — not to ask too many questions. 36 In fact, research has shown that curiosity is just as important as intelligence in determining how well students do in school. Curiosity can also lead us to make unexpected discoveries, bring excitement into our lives, and open up new possibilities. 37 For example, one day in 1831, Michael Faraday was playing around with a coil and a magnet when he suddenly saw how he could produce an electrical current. At first, it wasn’t clear what use this would have, but it actually made electricity available for use in technology, and so changed the world.
38 On one level, this is because technology has become so advanced that many of us are unable to think too deeply about how exactly things work anymore. While it may be possible for a curious teenager to take a toaster apart and get some sense of how it works, how much do you understand about what happens when you type a website address into a browser Where does your grasp of technology end and the magic begin for you
In addition to this, there’s the fact that we all now connect so deeply with technology, particularly with our phones. The more we stare at our screens, the less we talk to other people directly. 39 Then we feel we know enough about a person not to need to engage further with them.
The final — and perhaps most worrying — way in which technology stops us from asking more has to do with algorithms, the processes followed by computers. As we increasingly get our news via social media, the big data find out what we like and push more of the same back to us. 40 Perhaps the real key to developing curiosity in the 21st century, then, is to rely less on the tech tools of our age.
A．Yet it’s widely agreed that curiosity actually makes learning more effective.
B．All too often we accept the images of people that social media provides us with.
C．That means we end up inside our own little bubbles, no longer coming across new ideas.
D．We are always encouraged to challenge our pre-existing beliefs
E．In science, basic curiosity-driven research can have unexpected important benefits.
F．However, curiosity is currently under the biggest threat, coming from technology.
G．It is still not known why learning gives us such pleasure

But 58 English would not understand it at all! Now that it is not very good, why should you present the dishes in front of us The English would say to their guests “ Enjoy yourselves!” when eating and “hope you’ve enjoyed!” after eating.
While 59 (eat), we Chinese often say to the guests, “Eat slowly.” This would be very 60 (puzzle) to the foreigners: Am I eating very violently Am I eating too 61 or too much

67．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
The excitement about Thanksgiving was really building. Grandma arrived with a homemade pecan pie. Dad was searching for his electric carving knife. Mama was in the kitchen humming a song. Little baby Lonnie bounced up and down. Dad smelled the air and sighed. My big brother, Slim, who was anything but slim, sneaked off to his room with a slice of the pecan pie. Even our dog Fido was wagging his tail.
Having set a pretty table, Mama looked up, smiling. “Help me carry in the food,” she said. Slim, who had come out of his room by this time, went racing into the kitchen. " I'll get it! I'll get it!” The rest of us piled in behind him, everyone grabbing a dish. Then we watched Dad carry in the biggest, brownest, best-smelling turkey we had ever seen with Mama's hand under the plate, just in case. Together they lowered the turkey to its place at the table.
It was the tradition in our family to think of something for which we were most thankful. We all ran to the table yelling something like “I'm thankful for school being out” or “I'm thankful for pecan pie!” All eyes were on that enormous turkey as we took our seats.
Yes, everything was perfect except for one thing. On that special day, it was Dad who sat at the head of the table and carved the turkey. It was an honor that he had eagerly expected for days. Mama always called Dad a clumsy ox. He frequently tripped (绊倒) over his own two feet, and he could drop just about anything.
We automatically eased back when Dad tested the electric carving knife in the air. Dad went to work on the white meat first with surprisingly few problems. Slice after slice landed neatly on the plate with thick gravy (肉汁)。Dad leaned forward and grabbed the end of the left turkey leg and cut it off, placing it whole on the plate. His oily fingers shone brightly in the light of the chandelier (大吊灯)，and Mama waved her napkin. “I'm all right, Mama,” he said. “I'm all right. ”

【原文】M: Hey, Sarah, how have you been
W: Hi, John. Actually, I’ve been trying to figure out what career I want to pursue since we’re graduating from high school in six months. What about you Have you figured out what you want to be
M: Yes, I’ve always wanted to be a pilot, and the idea of exploring new destinations attracts me.
W: That’s amazing. My dream job is to become a biologist, but I’ve been thinking about whether it’s something I can develop a career in.
M: If you are strongly committed to your dream and work tirelessly to improve yourself, I’m sure you can make your dream come true.

【原文】W: When people think of Australia, they mostly think of kangaroos. But really, it’s full of diverse wildlife and landscapes.
M: Interesting. I’ve never been there before. Is the landscape quite different from here in the US
W: I’m from a dry and hot area of the country. But you can see many other wet coastal, cold mountainous, and mild city landscapes there on travel videos.
M: I have some relatives who live in Gold Coast, Australia. They’ve told me something I never knew about the country. But that area is mainly famous for surfing and beaches.
W: True. Around 85% of Australians live 50 kilometers from the coast because of the country’s rough climate. Still, many drive private trucks or vans through the country to experience the intense beauty.
M: I’d rather visit urban areas like Sydney or Melbourne. But an Australian road trip sounds cool!
7．B 8．A
【原文】M: Wow, that was some journey.
W: Yeah, I thought we’d never get here. All those delays.
M: Well, it’s nice to be back. Travelling is great, but I’m glad that I’ll be back surrounded by all the familiar things.
W: Well, it’s not quite as comfortable as the room we’ve been in for the past fortnight.
M: No, and all that time not having to cook our own meals was great.
W: Yes, well, it’s over now, back to reality. Come on, let’s get the bags sorted out.
9．A 10．C
【原文】W: Did you speak to your teacher
M: Yes, I had a word with her yesterday. And she said that she was disappointed in me. She told me I should have done better.
W: Oh, dear! You must have been upset.
M: Yes! It was completely unexpected. I reminded her that I had been ill and had missed some lessons. Actually, she admitted that she had forgotten about my illness. She apologized for forgetting. And she promised me that she would support me in any way necessary.
W: And what did you say to that
M: I said that I would try my best to do better in the next test.
11．A 12．B 13．C 14．B
【原文】 W: Listen carefully everyone. There will be a school trip to Hilltop Castle tomorrow. It’s a really interesting place and I’m sure you’ll enjoy going there. We’re getting group tickets, so instead of the usual price of six dollars, you only have to pay three dollars to visit the castle. And the bus is free. Now don’t forget that we’re going on March 4th. Mrs. Phillips, the school secretary, is away this week, so take your money to Mr. Gifford. He works in the office, too. I’m afraid you’ll have to get up early that day because you have to be at school at 7:30 a. m. The bus is leaving at 7:45 a. m. and I want you all to be at school fifteen minutes before that. At the castle, I’ll give you a piece of paper with questions on it and a pen to fill it out with. You should try to answer all the questions on it. And one last thing. The castle doesn’t have a cafe or a restaurant, so you’ll probably get hungry. Don’t forget to bring your lunch.
15．C 16．B 17．B 18．A
【原文】W: Welcome back. How was your vacation in Rome
M: Vacation No, I was there on business. But after the meeting there I went to Paris because I had a get-together party with my college friends there. Then it was a trip to Paris.
W: How was it
M: Fantastic! I went to many famous tourist attractions. Look, this is a picture I took on the top of the Eiffel Tower. It’s on my third day in Paris and the next day I took the evening flight to come back.
W: Oh, then did you go to the Louvre
M: Of course. That was the first thing I did in Paris. You can’t go to Paris without going to their most famous art gallery.
W: Did you see the Mona Lisa
M: Yes, but I wasn’t curious about the smile of Mona Lisa or the good skill of the painter. I was surprised by how small the Mona Lisa was, though.
19．A 20．A
【原文】M: Have you ever been to Japan I’m going in fall.
W: Yeah, I was there last summer.
M: Where did you go
W: Tokyo and Kyoto. I only had a week and a half.
M: What did you think of Tokyo
W: Exciting, but not very attractive. Some of the buildings are gray and ugly. And it’s very crowded, of course.
M: By the way, I also want to buy a camera. Which city do you think is better for shopping
W: Tokyo, I guess. It’s got more shops and a bigger selection. But it’s also more expensive. In fact, it’s probably the most expensive city in the world.

66．Lately an English writing contest with the theme of “Foreign students in China tell stories about China” was held in our school. A lot of foreign students joined in it enthusiastically and 10 students won first, second and third prizes respectively.
This contest was greatly welcomed by all students and teachers, because it made everyone understand China and Chinese culture more deeply. This event also inspired us to use what we’ve learnt to create a much more brilliant Chinese modern culture.
67．But when Dad pulled back the right turkey leg, it slipped from his oily fingers. “You clumsy ox!” Mom yelled, and she quickly grabbed and picked up the leg. Baba looked at the chandelier and looked annoyed. We all laughed, and Fido started barking in circles on the ground. Anyway, our Thanksgiving dinner is here.
As Lonnie yelled, we found a turkey leg was missing. Where’s the drumstick We felt very strange. Lonnie kept calling and looking at us, pointing under the table. We looked under the table and saw Fido munching on a big turkey leg. When he was found, he stared back at us, unrepentant. Mom said: “So Fido wants to have a delicious Thanksgiving, too.” Fido barked at us, as if confirming my mother’s words. We all laughed. It was so much fun.
