25、) 请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 A Tampa, Florida, is mostly known for its great weather and beautiful beaches, but did you know that Tampa is also home to some great museums? Here is a short list of the best there, The Museum of Science and Industry It is on East Fowler Avenue.
26、 This museum offers different styles of exhibits(展品). It has a gift shop and book shop that are second to none. The Dali Museum It is just outside of Tampa in St. Petersburg, Florida.

27、e you are there. The Polk Museum of ArtIt is on E.Palmetto Street in Lakeland. This museum has everything from artifacts（手工艺品）from 600 AD to paintings and drawings from all times. They run special activities and tours(巡回演出) all year round. The Tampa Museum It is in downtown Tampa close to Curtis Hix
28、on Hall. This museum has 6 galleries（美术馆）that show collections of all kinds of art. Guided tours are a choice to consider or you can walk through the exhibits by yourself at your own pace.

32、the community, eco-friendly rain gardens are healthy for theenvironment and the people living and working nearby. A rain garden is not very different from a traditional garden. It is just a far more eco-friendly garden. Usually it is built lower than the ground. Rain gardens make smart use of rain a
33、nd storm water by temporarily holding water from rain and storms and letting it soak slowly into the ground before it runs into streams or enters the public drinking water supply. Thus, a rain garden keeps the water, allowing it to be used as needed by plants in the rain garden, rather than flowing
34、immediately into nearby streams and going unused. The water will soak slowly into the ground within a day or two. This creates an advantage that the rain garden does not allow mosquitoes to breed. This is a simple, attractive, and eco-friendly green way to treat storm water. Whats more, planting a r
35、ain garden helps reduce pollution and improve the environment. Without using expensive machinery and chemicals, raingardens remove harmful chemicals in the rainwater and cut down on the amount of pollution reaching streams and rivers by up to 30%. Native plants are recommended for rain gardens becau
36、se they are more used to the local climate, soil, and water conditions. They may attract local wildlife such as native birds. Water your rain garden immediately after planting and once a week, unless you have had at least an inch of rain during the week. Once the native plants establish the necessar
37、y root system, it will require little care.Often, local governments and private businesses develop large rain gardens in their yards and in public parks as a way to improve the environment and solve flooding problems. However, you dont need to be a professional environmental engineer to create a rai
38、n garden. As long as youre eco-conscious homeowners, you can help the environment by building smaller rain gardens in your yards.59. Which of the following is the eco-friendly function of rain gardens discussed in Paragraph 4?A. They can keep the rain and storm water.B. They can help reduce the poll
39、ution problem.C. They can be healthy for the people around.D. They can make the environment more beautiful.60.

40、 local gardenersD. they are more used to the local growing conditions.61. We can infer from the passage that after native plants are planted, rain gardens .A. need little waterB. need little careC. need to be watered every dayD. neednt be watered if there is at least an inch of rainwater per week C
41、MONEY matters, no matter who or where you are. So when Chinas currency(货币) the yuan was devalued (贬值) against the US dollar for three straight days in mid-August, the world felt the effects. As CNN put it: If China sneezes, the world catches a cold. Why does it matter so much? The exchange rate is t
42、he term for the comparison of two currencies. It says how much one currency is worth in terms of the other. Exchange rates play an important role in a countrys level of trade. It is one of the most important determinants (决定因素) of a countrys relative level ofeconomic health. A higher currency makes
43、a countrys exports（出口）more expensive and imports (进口) cheaper, and vice versa (反之然).Devaluation means the same amount of RMB can be exchanged for fewer USD. For example, on Aug 11, the exchange rate of RMB to USD was 6.23, which meant $1 was worth the same as 6.23 yuan. Two days later, the rate chan
44、ged to 6.4, meaning the value of RMB had dropped by 2.7 percent.So what does a weaker currency mean for our lives?It first affects those who want to travel to, or study in, the US. If your former classmate is leaving for a preparatory school in the US at the end of August, it now costs about 1,800 y
45、uan more to exchange currency for 10,000 US dollars than it did earlier this month. However, since many currencies have decreased in value, the value of yuan is still relatively high despite the recent devaluation. This means it costs 1,200 yuan less to get 10,000 Canadian dollars now than it did in
46、 March. Even if we dont have plans to travel abroad, though, we could still be affected. For example, your mother will have to pay more if she buys directly from overseas websites with US dollars. And chances are that imported chocolate and potato chips will soon be a bit more expensive in your loca
47、l supermarket.However, the weaker yuan is good news for Chinese exporters. It makes Chinese exports less expensive and it could boost (促进) the overseas sales that have been among the main reasons for Chinas economic growth during its rise over the past 30 years. Just as Erik Britton of Fathom, a Lon
48、don-based economic consulting firm, told The Guardian:Were all going to feel it: well feel it through manufactured goods exports, not just from China but from everywhere that has to compete with it; and well feel it through wages.The devalued yuan will force Chinas Asian rivals (竞争者), such as Indone
49、sia and South Korea, to compete even harder, wrote Heather Stewart, economics editor of The Guardian. The result may be cheaper Christmas presents.62. We can learn from the underlined sentence in the first paragraphA. Chinese yuan is weaker than the US dollar.B. Chinas currency devaluation affects t
50、he whole world.C. Chinas economy is the most important in the world.D. Chinas economy is healthier than that of other countries.63. Who will benefit (受益) from the devalued yuan?A. Chinese exportersB. bosses of Asian companiesC. travelers to and students in the USAD. online consumers buying with US d
51、ollars64. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. A weaker Chinese currency does no good to a countrys economy.B. Export is one of the main forces in Chinas economic development.C. It costs more to exchange the same amount of US and Canadian dollars.D. Exchange rate is
52、 the most important determinants of a countrys economy level.65. Whats the best title of the passage?A. Currency devaluationB. Chinas economy downturnC. Chinese currency change impactsD.
