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. This is also where kids can find The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Diagon Alley, one of the most impressive theme parks ever built.

In an age shaped by social media and self-promotion, people admire a visible version of success, the kind that takes center stage and seeks constant applause. For an extended period, I was a willing participant in this illusion (错觉), measuring my own worth by the volume of recognition I received from others, only to feel disappointed when my quiet contributions went unnoticed.
My perspective on value and success shifted greatly during my volunteer time at a small neighborhood library. It was a quiet place with calm yet purposeful daily activities, where the staff worked diligently without expectation of praise or recognition. My responsibilities there were modest and simple: reshelving books, helping a student find a suitable novel, or keeping the reading room quiet and peaceful for everyone. These ordinary and unsung routines, which were easily overlooked by most people, first struck me as trifling, totally lacking the applause and attention I had starved for.
Over time, however, I began to see deeper value in these simple tasks. An elderly man came to the library every week, calling it his only shelter of peace in a noisy world. A small group of young locals depended on its quiet and comfortable atmosphere to take a break from their busy lives. I gradually came to realize that the library’s true significance lay not in great public recognition or praise, but in the steady, silent dedication of its staff that made it a warm harbour for the whole community.
Eventually, I learned that true competence operates quietly. It lies in the work done without an audience: the small, consistent efforts that make life easier for others. Success does not need a spotlight to be real. The most meaningful contributions are often made without expecting applause, yet they are profoundly valuable.
24. What did the author previously believe
A. Recognition measured worth.
B. Success hid in the dark.
C. Visible efforts earned reputation.
D. Silent work deserved respect.
25. What does the underlined word “trifling” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Effortless.
B. Challenging.
C. Insignificant.
D. Complicated.
26. How does the author illustrate the importance of the library in paragraph 3
A. By making contrast.
B. By quoting readers.
C. By listing statistics.
D. By giving examples.
27. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To compare different types of success.
B. To describe the experience at a library.
C. To show the value of quiet devotion.
D. To advocate seeking public recognition.
C
To live a long and healthy life, it’s not enough to just eat well and exercise regularly. You must also nurture your psychological well-being. Let’s start with relationships.
The Harvard Study of Adult Development, the longest in-depth study of human life ever done, has followed participants for decades. It shows that high-quality relationships are key predictors of long-life health and well-being. For example, men with more positive social relationships are more involved in their community and have a lower risk of depression and better cognition in later life.
“People we’re close to help us find solutions to problems and control difficult emotions,” says Schultz, one of the researchers. Just being near people calms the body in important ways. This is because close relationships positively affect our hormones (荷尔蒙), immune systems and even how our genes are expressed.
When people are in good relationships, their wounds heal more quickly. Studies show that a stronger immune system is linked to having more friends, suggesting that sociability can help make the immune system stronger and more youthful. Having close friendships also appears to change the activity of genes responsible for aging and several systems that help our bodies cope with stress.
Loneliness is bad for our health. Its emotional pain can produce the same stress response as a long-term medical condition and lead to swelling and reduced immunity.
To tackle loneliness, clinical psychologist Katherine Schaffer recommends two steps: find a way to contribute to someone else’s life and let others contribute to yours. “Letting people do the same for you can have a great impact on how you connect with others and your attitude to loneliness,” she says.
28. What does the Harvard Study reveal about sound relationships
A. They can cure depression in old age.
B. Their benefits are more noticeable in men.
C. Better health outcomes are linked to them.
D. They are the most important factors for a long life.
29. According to paragraph 4, what is a benefit of good friendships
A. They can prevent the process of aging.
B. They can make the immune system stronger.
C. They reduce stress by changing stress-related genes.
D. They help wounds heal faster by boosting hormone levels.
30. What does Katherine Schaffer suggest to handle loneliness
A. Focusing on contributing to others.
B. Engaging in mutual support with others.
C. Avoiding any dependence on other people.
D. Accepting others’ contributions unconditionally.
31. What should be a suitable title for the text
A. The Power of Relationships
B. The Harm of Loneliness and Stress
C. The Importance of Diet and Exercise
D. The Harvard Study on Adult Development
D
Eating from plastic takeout containers may significantly increase the chance of heart failure, a new study finds, and researchers suspect they have identified the reasons.
The novel study from Chinese researchers adds to growing evidence of the risks associated with eating from plastic, and builds on previous evidence linking plastic chemicals to heart disease. The authors used a two-part method, first looking into how often over 3,000 people in China ate from plastic takeout containers, and whether they had heart disease.
They then exposed rats to plastic chemicals in water that was boiled and poured into carry out containers to collect chemicals. Plastic can contain any of about 20,000 chemicals, and many of them, such as BPA, phthalates (邻苯二甲酸盐) and PFAS, present health risks. The chemicals are often found in food and food packaging, and are linked to a range of problems from cancer to reproductive harm. They put boiling water in the containers for one, five or 15 minutes because plastic chemicals come out at much higher rates when hot contents are placed in containers.
The authors then gave rats the water polluted with chemicals from plastic to drink for several months, then analyzed the gut (肠道) bacteria and waste products in the feces. It found notable changes. “It showed that swallowing these chemicals changed the gut environment, affected gut bacteria composition, and changed gut bacteria waste products, particularly those linked to inflammation (炎症),” the authors wrote. They then checked the rats’ heart muscle tissue and found it had been damaged. The study did not find a significant difference in the changes and damage among rats that were exposed to water that had been in contact with plastic for one minute versus five or fifteen.
The study does not make suggestions on how consumers can protect themselves. But public health supporters say to avoid microwaving or adding hot food to plastic containers at home, or cooking anything in plastic. Replacing plastic tools at home with glass, wood or stainless steel choices is also wise.
32. What is the key conclusion of the Chinese study
A. Plastic containers change food flavour.
B. Chemicals in plastics may harm health.
C. Hot liquids damage plastic structure.
D. Gut bacteria help cause heart disease.
33. Why did researchers test with boiling water
A. To copy real food packaging situations.
B. To compare different plastic types.
C. To clean the containers thoroughly.
D. To test plastic containers’ durability.
34. What did the study find about rats exposed to plastic chemicals
A. Their gut bacteria remained normal.
B. Their waste products didn’t change.
C. Effects varied with exposure time.
D. Their heart tissue showed damage.
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To explain how gut bacteria affect heart function.
B. To compare different types of food packaging materials.
C. To introduce new plastic technologies in food preservation.
D. To warn about health risks from certain food containers.

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。
I stared at the wrinkled poster on the classroom wall, my heart sinking like a stone. The school’s annual community service fair was only a week away, and my group’s project — organizing a book drive for the local children’s home — was stuck in a mess. As the group leader, I’d confidently promised to collect at least 200 books, but so far, our donation box sat empty in the corner, laughing at my overconfidence.
“It’s not your fault,” Mia, my most responsible teammate, said gently as she wiped dust off the box. “Everyone’s just busy with midterms.” But I knew the truth: I’d rushed the planning, skipped making reminder flyers (传单), and assumed people would simply show up with books. When our class presentation about the project ended with awkward silence instead of enthusiasm, I chose to do nothing to improve the situation, too proud to ask for help.
On Wednesday afternoon, I passed the children’s home on my way home. Through the iron gate, I saw a little girl sitting on the steps, hugging a worn picture book so tightly that her fingers turned white. Her eyes lit up as she ran her fingers over the worn pages, and suddenly, my embarrassment turned into a sharp guilt. I’d let these kids down — not because of midterms, but because of my own carelessness and pride.
That evening, I sat at my desk, staring at the empty donation list. I thought about calling the teacher to quit, but the image of the little girl with the worn book stopped me. I pulled out my notebook and started drafting new flyers, this time adding hand-drawn illustrations and a personal note about why the books mattered. At 9 p.m., I hesitantly sent a message to my classmates — I messed up the book drive planning, but these kids deserve better. Would anyone help me try again
I held my phone, nervous about their responses. Would they laugh at my failure Ignore my request As minutes went by, my hopes faded — until the first reply showed up.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

My Dream, My Compass
Faced with the three diverging roads in the cartoon—parents’ wishes, society’s trends, and my own dream—I have decided to firmly pursue my own dream.
This decision emerges from a careful comparison. Parents’ wishes, though well-intentioned, often reflect their experiences rather than our realities. Society’s trends, while popular, are fleeting and may not align with our true strengths. In contrast, my own dream represents a deep-seated passion and a clear sense of purpose. It is this personal vision that serves as my internal compass, providing enduring motivation and true direction. For instance, choosing a career merely to please others or follow the crowd can result in dissatisfaction, whereas pursuing a field one loves yields both excellence and happiness.
Thus, balancing respect for parents and awareness of society, I choose to bravely follow my dream, for it is the path where my potential can truly shine, guided by the compass of my own heart.
应用文范文版本2
Choosing a Path with Purpose
Faced with the three directions shown in the cartoon—parents’ wish, society’s trend, and my own dream—my choice would be to follow society’s trend.
Some may argue that pursuing one’s own dream is the only way to true happiness. However, I believe that aligning with societal trends does not mean giving up personal ambition. Instead, it means understanding the needs of the world and finding where one can contribute meaningfully. Many of today’s most rewarding careers—in fields like green technology, digital innovation, and public health—are also society’s current directions. By choosing such a path, I can ensure that my work has real value and relevance.
This choice is not about blindly following the crowd, but about thoughtfully connecting my abilities with broader needs. In this way, I can build a stable future while still growing personally and making a tangible difference in the world.
读后续写参考范文
The first reply was from Leo, who rarely joined group activities. “Count me in! I have some children’s books at home and I can put up posters after school,” his message read. Soon, more replies flooded in — Mia offered to work with the class teacher for a classroom announcement, and several classmates said they’d ask their families and neighbors for donations. My heart warmed, and I realized that admitting my mistake wasn’t weakness but the first step to fixing it. The next afternoon, we gathered at school, cutting colorful paper for posters and packing up the books Leo had brought.
By the day of the community service fair, our donation box was overflowing. An unexpected number of picture books, storybooks and activity books filled every corner, going far beyond our 200-book goal. When we delivered the books to the children’s home, the little girl I’d seen earlier ran over, her eyes wide with joy as she picked a bright new storybook. “Thank you!” she said, hugging the book to her chest. I smiled, knowing that teamwork and being modest had turned our mess into success. This experience taught me that true leadership isn’t about being perfect, but about having the courage to correct mistakes and ask for help.
