Florida Theme Parks and Amusement Parks

Fun Spot America(Two locations: Orlando and Kissimmee)

The two small amusement parks offer two great wooden roller coasters: White Lightning and Mine Blower. They also feature lots of spinning(快速旋转)rides, one of the world's tallest Skycoasters, go-karts, and other attractions. For 2021, the Orlando Fun Spot America is debuting Sky Hawk, a 90-foot-tall swing ride.

Discovery Cove (Orlando)

SeaWorld Orlando's sister attraction lets guests get up close and personal with dolphins and other animals for a unique theme park experience. Its somewhat expensive admission price includes all attractions, the swim-with-dolphins experience, meals, and a 14-day pass to either SeaWorld Orlando, Busch Gardens Tampa, or Aquatica water park.

Disney's Hollywood Studios(Lake Buena Vista)

The smallest of the four Walt Disney World parks, with the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, Disney's Hollywood Studios is home to Disney World's most thrill-packed rides. Two of its more recent additions, Toy Story Land and, especially, Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, have made Disney's Hollywood Studios much more popular.

Legoland Florida(Winter Haven)

The delightful Lego-themed park is designed for the 12-and-under set. Among the best things to do at Legoland Florida are Lego Ninjago the Ride, Miniland USA, the funny Lego Movie 4D, and the lovely Cypress Gardens, which is an ode to the park that once stood on the site. For 2021, the park introduced a new 4D movie, Journey to Mythica.

For us, one of the many cultural shocks we experienced was during our time in Bolivia. We spent five months traveling around South America but Bolivia surprised us most. Tourism and the approach to service in Bolivia are, to some extent, underdeveloped, which is not necessarily bad. However, you might get the feeling that the locals don't like your presence. At times we didn't feel welcome at all.

Bolivians will stare at you, give angry looks, and often won't even say hi when you come to their stores and restaurants. After some conversations with locals, we were told that the negative attitude had nothing to do with us. Bolivians are just not used to foreigners and don't really know how to handle tourists. But we can't even blame them. After a long and hard time as a Spanish colony (殖民地), people are still very suspicious of foreigners.

What we loved most and surprised us is how Bolivians keep their traditions alive, which is truly amazing. We often saw locals wearing their traditional clothes and marketing their self-made medicine. These and other efforts to preserve their customs deserve respect. You just can't see that in many countries in the world.

I loved their clothes so much that I borrowed a traditional Bolivian dress to try to overcome the "tourist vs local barrier" and show the locals on the island that we truly love their culture and appreciate it. The experience was absolutely wonderful. We walked to the sunset point and locals were smiling and waving at us, cheering and we felt like we had a "connecting moment".

Even though we had this cultural shock and despite the negative feelings at the beginning of our travels in Bolivia, we have to say that we will never forget how special Bolivia was to us.

4. How might newcomers feel about Bolivians?

A. They are cold.      B. They are gentle.     C. They are clever.     D. They are generous.

5. What shaped Bolivians' attitude to foreigners?

A. Foreigners' rude manners.            B. The location of the country.

C. Local people's lack of knowledge.      D. The unpleasant history of the country.

6. What's the author's favorite about Bolivians?

A. They seldom blame foreigners.        B. They are good at doing business.

C. They have many self-made items.      D. They preserve their traditions well.

7. Which of the following best describes the author's trip to Bolivia?

A. Restless.      B. Eye-opening.      C. Fruitless.      D. Awkward.

C

After years of intense public pushback, the Ringling Bros, and Barnum & Bailey Circus finally announced the retirement of their Asian elephant performers in 2016. While the decision was a victory for animal lovers and activists, it raised a new issue. The elephants were raised in a small closed area and lacked the skills to survive in the wild. Now, thanks to Florida-based White Oak Conservation, the animals have a new home-one where they can wander freely.

Located about 30 miles north of Jacksonville, Florida, the 17, 000-acre(英亩) facility is home to between 350 and 400 animals including 35 endangered species. The conservation center welcomed the first group of retired circus elephants in May 2021. The 12 female elephants range from 8 to 38 years old. To make the move easier, they were socialized together for several months before they came to the center. The animals will be joined by the remaining 20 as soon as the additional areas to house them are completed.

The elephants' new home is modeled after the elephant's natural habitat in the wild. The diverse environments include forests, grassland and wetlands, all connected for easy passage by foot. The elephants can wander in the woods, relax in the mud, or swim in one of the eleven specially-built water holes. The elephants can also spend their days relaxing inside the specially-built barns(畜棚)close to their human caregivers.

"We are excited to give these elephants a place to wander and explore," said the conservation center's owner Kimbra Walter. "We are working to protect wild animals in their native habitat. But for these elephants that can't be released, we are pleased to give them a place where they can live comfortably for the rest of their lives."

8. What problem do the retired elephants face?

A. They are still locked.                 B. They lack natural habitat.

C. They are unable to live in the wild.      D. They are in danger of being caught.

9. What can we learn about the White Oak Conservation from Paragraph 2?

A. It is transformed from a circus.               B. It houses over 300 hundred elephants.

C. The retired elephants are its first residents.      D. Some part of it is still under construction.

10. What's the third paragraph mainly about?

A. The reserve's efforts to protect the animals.

B. The elephants' new life in the natural habitat.

C. The environment of the elephants' new home.

D. The daily activities of the animals in the reserve.

11. What does Kimbra Walter think of their effort to protect the animals?

A. It's unique.      B. It's suitable.      C. It's helpless.      D. It's temporary.

D

A completely stress-free life seems like a much better alternative. But it isn't necessarily a good thing, research is now showing. A small amount of stress may actually help kids build mental toughness. David Lyons is a behavioral neuroscientist at Stanford University in California. His team reported causal evidence for this connection in a November 2019 paper Scientific Reports.

The team studied young monkeys. These monkeys experienced varying degrees of stress. "No-stress" monkeys enjoyed a typical life in the lab. They were housed in a cage with their mother and siblings(兄弟姐妹). There was plenty of water and food. They also got toys. The second group faced a mild stressor. They spent an hour a day away from their siblings on 10 straight days. The stress level went up for the third group. These monkeys had daily separation from siblings and no access to mothers during that hour. Two more groups experienced daily separation from both their mothers and siblings.

A fortnight later, all the monkeys were moved with their mothers to some unfamiliar cages. The researchers examined the monkeys' willingness to leave their mothers and explore the new surroundings. The team also analyzed levels of the stress cortisol(皮质醇)in the animals' blood. That blood had been collected before, during and after their time in the new cage.

Generally, monkeys faced with one or two stressors(groups 2 and 3)depend less on their mothers than those in groups 4 and 5. They were also more willing to explore the new environment. On the whole, they behaved less anxiously than both the no-stress and high-stress groups. The monkeys' cortisol patterns also reflected this trend. Animals that were exposed to mild stress lowered their cortisol level faster than the other monkeys.

Growing up healthy means "learning how to deal with mild challenges and changes," Lyons concludes.

12. What stress did the second group of monkeys face?

A. Being offered few toys.                B. Lacking access to mothers.

C. Being housed in a cage for 10 days.      D. Living without their siblings temporarily.

13. What may show the monkeys' level of stress?

A. The cortisol types in their blood.

B. Their tendency to try new things.

C. The length of time they spend in a new cage.

D. Their willingness to live with unfamiliar monkeys.

14. What can we learn about the monkeys in groups 2 and 3?

A. They experienced the high level of cortisol.

B. They felt quite uneasy without their mothers.

C. They showed little interest in the surroundings.

D. They expressed the least anxiety among the monkeys.

15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A. Mild Stress Helps Build up Toughness      B. Stress and Anxiety Go Hand in Hand

C. Report Reveals the Stress of Animals       D. Monkeys Learn How to Tackle Stress

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。

One day, I went out of my house and found a medium-sized dog sitting in my yard. The dog stood up and wagged(摇)his tail when he spotted me. I checked him for a collar or an ID tag. He had neither. "Where did you come from?" I asked. I lived in a small, rural town. I knew all the dogs in the neighborhood, but I'd never seen this fellow before.

Half-heartedly, I told him to sit. To my surprise, he sat as I said. "Stay," I said, as I made my way into the garage(车库)where we kept the dry dog food for our dog. I really didn't expect the dog to stay. But when I returned, he was sitting in the exact spot where I had left him. "Wow! You sure are trained," I told him. I set out a bowl of food, and the dog started eating. I left him in the yard and went inside to read through the newspaper's "Lost and Found" column. Unfortunately, nobody had reported a missing brown-and-white dog.

Later that afternoon, when my brother and I went out of the house the dog jumped to his feet and started wagging his tail. My brother threw a stick across the yard, and the dog raced after it. "Why don't you play with him while I go to the store?" I suggested.

After I got back from the store, my brother called me out into the yard. "Watch this," he said. "The dog knows tricks." Sure enough, the dog would fetch, sit, stay, roll over, and lie down following the orders. He also loved jumping to catch a tennis ball in midair. I was impressed-and a little suspicious. This was no ordinary dog. Someone had trained him pretty well. So, I had to wonder: why weren't his owners looking for him?

We gave him a comfortable place to sleep in the garage. The next day, I called the newspaper and ran a "Found" ad describing our new friend.
