Incredible Theme Parks Worth Visiting in America
Edaville Family Theme Park
If your son or daughter always watches Thomas the Tank Engine on TV, then you had better accompany your
child to Edaville Family Theme Park. This theme park is home to Thomas Land, highlights of which include a 20-
minute train ride on a life-size Thomas the Tank Engine, a live show featuring your favorite industrial trains and
numerous other themed rides featuring adorable, life-size and rideable Thomas characters.
Cliff’s Amusement Park
One of just two amusement parks in New Mexico, Cliff’s Amusement Park in Albuquerque is not just the best
park in its state. It also has what is considered to be one of the best wooden roller coasters in superb condition in
the country, the New Mexico Rattler. This coaster features more dips, twists and turns than even the most wound-
up snake.
Belmont Park
Belmont Park features one of the most historic coasters in the country. Indeed, this park is home to the Giant
Dipper, a wooden roller coaster that was built during the “Golden Age of Coasters” and opened in 1925. In addition
to this coaster and other rides and attractions, there are also some food stalls along the boardwalk.
Beech Bend Amusement Park
In addition to dozens of family-friendly rides, this park also features a dragstrip raceway (牵引式跑道) and a
camping ground. What is especially appealing to children and adults is the Splash Lagoon Water Park. Lie around
in the lazy river or the enormous leisure pool, or take a dive down the water ride. There’s no better way to beat that
intense Southern summer heat.

Ada Lovelace was born on December 10th 1815. Ada’s mother and father (the famous poet Lord George
Gordon Byron) parted just weeks after she was born. Her mother feared her growing up with her father’s
changeable nature. To stop this from happening, Ada was forced by her mother to learn science and mathematics
which was unusual for women at the time. She was also punished if her work was not up to standard. However, she
was greatly interested in mathematics and science and would perhaps have learned about them on her own.
Ada was partially disabled and as a result spent much time studying. Ada knew of her mother’s thought about
keeping the creative side of her from germinating (萌芽) however, as Ada herself is known to have said, “If you
can’t give me poetry at least give me poetical science.” Ada married at 19, to William King who was made Earl of
Lovelace in 1838, at which point she became Lady Ada King, the Countess of Lovelace, but was known as Ada
Lovelace. Ada and King had a relatively happy marriage, with King even encouraging his wife’s love for numbers.
During her youth Ada was introduced to the Scot, Mary Somerville, who was known as the “Queen of 19th
Century Science” and was the first woman to be accepted into the Royal Astronomical Society. It was through
Mary Somerville that Ada first heard of Charles Babbage’s idea for a new calculating (计算) engine. Attracted by
this idea, Ada began a period of letter-writing with him that would come to decide her professional life.
Ada met Babbage when she was around 17 and the two became close friends. Babbage was working on an
“Analytical Engine”, something he was designing to deal with complex ( 复杂的 ) calculations. Ada was later
asked to translate an article. She not only translated the article but added pages and pages of notes, calculations and
innovations (创新). Her notes were published in 1843 and it turned out that what she had written was so original, it
is now seen as the first comprehensive comment on what would become modern-day computer programming.
Although impressive, Ada was not actually given credit for the article until 1848.
24．What happened to Ada in her childhood
A．She was pushed to learn scientific knowledge.
B．She had to compare herself with other women.
C．She gave up learning because of her father’s nature.
D．She had no father any more.
25．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean
第 4页/共 12页
A．Ada thought poetry was boring. B．Ada thought science was creative.
C．Ada was interested in both science and poetry. D．Ada believed poetry was harder than science.
26．What decided Ada’s professional life
A．Ada was introduced to the Scot, Mary Somerville. B．Somerville’s suggestions.
C．Her husband’s encouragement. D．Her communication with Babbage.
27．What did Ada do after she met Babbage
A．She taught people how to program.
B．She invented an “Analytical Engine”.
C．She translated an article and developed it.
D．She praised Babbage’s achievements.
C
Point in the direction of food on the kitchen door, and your dog will follow your guidance to eat it up. That is
a skill even our closest relative in the animal kingdom cannot match.
“Chimps (黑猩猩 ) can perform much better than dogs on so many things,” said Brian Hare, a professor at
Duke University. “But they’re not particularly good at understanding cooperative communicative gestures.”
Previous studies have shown conflicting results about whether both dog and wolf puppies (幼崽) can read human
gestures. So Hare’s team compared a group of young dogs with their wild cousins to test the question out.
The dog puppies were service-dogs-in-training, and most of them were raised by a nonprofit organization.
Like other young puppies, they engaged in human interaction sometimes throughout the day, and they were still
looked after by their mother. The young wolves, on the other hand, were separated from their mother 10 or 11 days
after they were born, and they were around human handlers 24/7, living at the Wildlife Science Center.
The scientists put 44 dogs and 37 wolf puppies, all between 5 and 18 weeks old, through a series of tests and
challenges. In one task, researchers placed a treat in one of two bowls, and then pointed a finger at the bowl
containing the snack three times. The dog puppies were twice as likely to understand where to go even though they
had experienced far less human contact, and the researchers made sure the pups were not just smelling the food.
And in a separate test, the dogs were 30 times more likely to approach an unknown human and made significantly
more eye contact with people than little wolves.
“The comparison of so many young dogs and wolves on a wide variety of tasks is very exciting,” said Angie
Johnston, a researcher at Boston College, who was not involved with the new work. “It’s a very ambitious study.”
28. In which aspect did the experimental animals differ
第 5页/共 12页
A. Their age. B. Their living condition.
C. The number of tests they took part in. D. The human gestures they were about to read.
29. What can we learn from this study
A. The dog puppies were less likely to get the treat.
B. The dog puppies were more willing to interact with people.
C. The wolf puppies weren’t as interested in the food as the dogs were.
D. The wolf puppies weren’t so intelligent as dog puppies.
30. What is Angie Johnston’s attitude to the study
A. Uncaring. B. Uncertain. C. Supportive. D. Objective.
31. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Reading Humans: Dog Pups Outperform Wolf Pups
B. Chimps vs Dog Pups: Who’s the Master of Gestures
C. Interacting with Humans: Dog Pups’ Secret to Understanding Gestures
D. Dog Pups’ Skill: Master Eye Contact for Food
D
“Imagine you have to make a speech, but instead of looking down at your notes, the words appear in front of
your eyes, whichever direction you look in,” says Steve Sinclair when introducing the smart contact lenses (隐形眼
睛) being developed by his company Mojo.
However, this is just one of many features the makers of smart contact lenses promise will be available in the
future. Other smart lenses are being developed to collect health data. They are expected to help to self-monitor and
track glucose (葡萄糖 ) levels, according to Rebecca Rojas, instructor at Columbia University. “They can also
provide extended-release (缓释) drug-delivery options. It’s exciting to see how far technology has come, and the
potential it offers to improve patients’ lives.”
Despite the excitement, smart lenses technology still has to overcome a number of challenges. One challenge
will be powering them with batteries that will obviously have to be incredibly tiny, so will they deliver enough
power to do anything useful
Mojo is still testing its product, but wants customers to be able to wear its lenses all day, without having to re
charge them. “The expectation is that you are not consuming information from the lens all the time but in short
moments throughout the day. Actual battery life will depend on how and how often it is used, just like your
smartphone or smartwatch today,” a company spokesperson explains.

Besides, according to senior policy analyst Daniel Leufer, any device with a forward-facing camera that
allows a user to take pictures, or record videos, presents risks to bystanders’ (旁观者) privacy.
Additionally, there are concerns about the product that will be familiar to anyone who wears regular contacts.
“Any type of contact lens can present a risk to eye health, if not properly cared for or not fitted properly. Just like
any other medical device, we need to make sure the patients’ health comes first,” says Ms Rojas.
“We know it’s going to take some time for the public to accept it. But we think it’s unavoidable that all of our
eyewear is eventually going to become smart,” says Mr Sinclair.
32. What can Mojo’s smart lenses enable wearers to do
A. Take notes whenever necessary. B. Keep going in the right direction.
C. Receive information before their eyes. D. Share important information with others.
33. How could smart lenses benefit wearers’ health
A. By reducing their glucose levels. B. By avoiding the use of eye drugs.
C. By reminding them to do exercise. D. By informing them of their health state.
34. Which of the following is NOT a concern of the company
A. Long- term use without worrying about charging.
B. The risk of invading (侵犯) the privacy of bystanders.
C. The possibility of causing harm to eye health.
D. The lack of confidence in the prospect of smart eyewear.
35. What can we learn from Mr Sinclair’s words in the last paragraph
A. He is confident about the smart lenses’ future.
B. He will spend more time improving the smart lenses.
C. He expects the smart lenses to be a hit once launched.
D. He is worried about the problems brought by the smart lenses.
第二节 七选五(共 5小题;每小题 2.5分，满分 12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Tidying your desk, watering your plants or folding laundry — these household chores are hardly the height of
hedonism (享乐主义). ____36____. Psychologists suggest there are many potential mechanisms that might explain
the perfect pleasure of puttering (慢条斯理地做). They may well encourage you to engage in it more often.
Pleasant distractions
On the surface level, puttering may be useful because it occupies the mind, so that we give fewer resources to
第 7页/共 12页
the things that are worrying us. For instance, we may find household tasks can help us focus on the present moment.
People completing these small tasks often report a significantly better mood. ____37____, as if the immersion (沉
浸) in the simple activity had refreshed their minds.
____38____
Unlike other distracting activities- such as playing computer games or watching trashy TV — puttering also
has the advantage of being positive and useful, increasing our “perceived control”. When we feel anxious, a sense
of helplessness can heighten the physiological stress response, increasing levels of hormones. Ideally, we would
deal directly with the upsetting situation itself. But research suggests we can gain a perception of control from
activities that may have little effect on the situation that’s bothering us.
Tidy room, focused mind
____39____. If your puttering takes the form of organizing and decluttering (清理 ), you may find that the
tidier environment is itself a form of comfort. To sum up, if we see order outside, it helps us to feel a bit less
chaotic inside. ____40____.
A. Being powerful
B. A feeling of control
C. The benefits do not end there
D. We will feel great anxiety in our mind
E. This included reduced nervousness and even a sense of “inspiration”
F. It is comforting because it makes life easier to manage and more predictable
G. Yet we often find ourselves seeking pleasure and comfort in small repetitive tasks
