21、Theme Parks Worth Visiting in America
Edaville Family Theme Park
If your son or daughter is the sort to always have Thomas the Tank Engine on TV, then you had better get yourself 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-sized 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 the country, the New Mexico Rattler. Typically referred to as the 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, this boardwalk also features a taco shop, Dole Whip stand, midway snacks, cheap burgers and more.
Beech Bend Amusement Park
In addition to dozens of family-friendly rides, this entertainment complex also features a dragstrip raceway and a camping ground. The real draw here is the Splash Lagoon Water Park. Lie around in the lazy river or the giant leisure pool, or take a dive down the 55-foot-tall, 500-foot-long Cyclone Saucers water ride. There’s no better way to beat that intense Southern summer heat.

22、Alma Deutscher, a sixteen-year-old girl from England who created her first musical work at age six, first short opera at age seven, and first full-length opera based on Cinderella at age ten, is anything but average. Though her parents downplayed (淡化) her extraordinary talent, young Alma is being described as “little Mozart” by the music world.
Alma’s opera based on the classic fairy tale, which she began writing at age eight, has a slight twist. Her Cinderella is a musician who meets her Prince Charming, a poet through a song.“In my Cinderella, she sings the beginning of a ballad (情歌)—but at midnight she runs away. Eventually, the prince finds her after asking all the girls of the country to sing the end of the ballad.”
The opera was first performed in Vienna, Austria on December 29, 2016, where the then eleven-year-old skillfully changed between the piano and the violin and received enthusiastic reviews. The young genius has since performed two new piano works, one in Australia and the other in China.
Alma’s musical talent first came to light before she could even talk. However, Alma’s abilities only gained international attention in 2012, after a family friend posted a video online comparing her to Mozart. The family was suddenly filled with media and Alma became an overnight star. The nickname “Little Mozart” makes her parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl. They would instead prefer her to be called “a composer and musician”.
Alma does not want to be compared to the famous artist either, saying “There was only one Mozart, and I prefer to be little Alma”. Regardless of what she calls herself, the sixteen-year old is changing the world of music forever!
【1】Which of the following statement about Alma is WRONG?
A．She can play the piano and the violin skillfully.
B．She can write operas and compose music as well.
C．She displayed her talent for music at an early age.
D．Her talent goes far beyond that of Mozart.
【2】What does the underlined word “twist” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A．Disadvantage.
B．Improvement.
C．Change.
D．Mistake.
【3】What do we know about Alma’s Cinderella?
A．It is a short opera based on the classic fairy tale.
B．Cinderella meets her Mr. Right through a song.
C．The prince finds her with the help of a crystal shoe.
D．It enjoys a great success and has been performed in China.
【4】What was Alma’s parents’ attitude to her fame?
A．Concerned.
B．Overexcited.
C．Happy.
D．Shocked.
23、In films and TV shows, police investigators dust crime scenes for fingerprints to catch criminals. Now, conservationists (环保主义者) are using a similar method to tackle the illegal overfishing of sharks and rays.
Overfishing is when too many of a particular type of fish are caught, putting that species in danger. Many sharks and rays are killed because of a high demand-and a high price-for their fins(鱼鳍). In some countries, the fins are used as an ingredient in shark fin soup, which some people believe can cure certain illnesses.
About 100 species of sharks and rays are protected by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora(CITES), an agreement between 184 countries to limit sales of wildlife that may be at the risk of dying out. CITES has teams of people who visit ports and fish factories to look for evidence of protected species being illegally caught and sold. The idea is to punish those responsible and stop it from happening, but finding evidence is difficult. If a fish is already cut up and ready for sale, it’s hard to tell which species it was. Often, fish are sold before inspectors arrive.
Scientists have come up with a process that analyzes “fish dust”-tiny traces of fish that get left on the floor at ports and factories, even after the fish are no longer there. Using a process called metabarcoding(宏条形码技术), they examine the chemical that carries all the information about a living thing’s body and characteristics in the dust and can tell if it is from a protected species.
The scientists tested the method in Indonesia, where many sharks and rays are caught and sold. They studied dust from seven sites and found evidence of 61 species of sharks and rays. More than 80% of them were CITES-protected species. Dr. Andhika Prasetyo, the scientist who led the research, hopes the new method will be helpful in protecting endangered sea life.
【1】Why is dusting crime scenes mentioned in paragraph 1?
A．To discuss overfishing in a broader context.
B．To introduce the initial purpose of the passage.
C．To bring forth something new with the familiar.
D．To show the difference between two professions.
【2】What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about?
A．The risk in saving wildlife and the opportunity to seize.
B．The mission of CITES and the trouble inspectors confront.
C．The number of endangered species and the way to save them.
D．The agreement made by countries and the responsibility each carries.
【3】How does the metabarcoding process work?
A．It scans the body of a fish to confirm its killer.
B．It guides the investigators to the remains of a fish.
C．It turns a fish into the dust and test its characteristics.
D．It identifies a fish by studying the chemical in the dust.
【4】What does the test in Indonesia indicate?
A．The evidence collected belong to over 61 species.
B．Scientists in Indonesia will carry out further studies
C．The dusting method is promising in protecting sea life.
D．More than 80% of sharks and rays have been in danger.
24、“There’s our guide,” I said to the bus driver, pointing at a woman I’d never seen before. The driver stopped and opened the door for me to step off.
“You must be Becky,” she said. “My name is Anne.”
As tour director for the group of forty-three, I quickly confirmed with Anne the sites we would like to see during the next four hours. Then we climbed aboard to begin our tour of Washington, D.C.
After introducing Anne to the tourists, I handed the microphone to her and made my way toward the last seat. Conversation with a guide usually ended there. But on that day, we managed a brief chat in the shade of an elm tree along the National Mall. I was amazed to discover that we were both born in Ohio and that my doctor, Kiefhaber, was her dad.
My parents had told me the story all my life. I was born with my left leg turned inward (向内的). Right away, a doctor placed a cast (石膏)from my hip to my tiny toes. He monitored my progress closely. Thankfully, my leg straightened out and grew strong. By ten months, l was cast-free and taking my first steps. Amidst the joy, however, my parents feared the final bill for the months of treatment. They already struggled to make ends meet. How would they ever afford the specialist’s charges for that length of treatment? When the envelope arrived, Dad took a deep breath, opened it, and stared at the amount due. Surely, it was a mistake. The bill said they owed only twenty dollars.
The doctor who showed such great kindness to my family was Anne’s dad. I don’t believe those few surprising moments under the elm tree were just a coincidence. Anne needed to hear the wonderful story about her dad. Anne and I are now friends, with a connection that goes beyond our hometown. We are connected by kindness – Kiefhaber kindness – which touched my family long ago and inspires me yet today.
【1】What do we know about the author?
A．She has walking difficulty at present.
B．She seldom chats with guides in work.
C．She is a tour director working in Ohio.
D．She’s been friends with Anne since childhood.
【2】How did the author’s parents feel when paying the bill for treatment?
A．Depressed.
B．Curious.
C．Satisfied.
D．Grateful.
【3】What can be the best title for the text?
A．Lifelong Friendship
B．What a coincidence!
C．Connected by Kindness
D．An Unforgettable Tour

26、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 had just changed into my running clothes and was leaving my office, off for a run even though it was well over 38℃ outside. I couldn’t explain it, but I felt the need to run despite the record heat. A quarter-mile into my jog, I was exhausted. I admitted defeat and turned around. As I approached my car, I saw a dog circling it.
When I reached for the door handle, the dog disappeared beneath the car into the shade. I grabbed my bottle and took a drink of water. I then got down on my knees to look for the dog. When I stood up, I found him sitting in the driver’s seat, panting (喘息). I reached over and started the car, turning the air conditioning on high. He turned his face toward the vents, enjoying the cold air, his moustache blowing. I poured some water into the bottle cap and offered it to the dog. He drained it in a few desperate gulps (一大口). I refilled it several times before he had his fill.
He wore no collar. I walked around but there was no one in sight. I stood there, looking at the dog staring back at me through the window. He waited patiently as if he’d been in my car dozens of times before. I didn’t know what to do. Leaving him in that heat was out of the question. He would die.
I decided to drive him home. Before we were out of the parking lot, he had climbed onto my lap. He looked up at me, and then licked my sweaty face. “Ugh! No licking!”
I had never been a dog person. They smelt, they were loud, and they were messy. My newly-married husband had already resigned to the fact that we would never have a dog. And now one was in my car, on my lap! I pulled into my driveway and shrugged as my husband saw the dog, his eyes wide at this new development.
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。
I told him I was calling the animal shelter, lifting the dog out of the car.
