Loosely themed around the Jules
11、Verne book, Around the World in Eighty Days, the park was founded by Hunt Midwest Company. In 1982, Hunt Midwest bought a nearby waterpark, Oceans of Fun. In 2013, Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun were combined to a one ticket admission, providing all guests with access to 235 acres of amusement and
12、water rides. Hours: Worlds of Fun is open from April through Halloween. Tickets: Buy and print online. Always try to buy your tickets in advance, to save time when you get to the park. Reservations: Worlds of Fun sells “Fast Lane” cards that save riders time by allowing them to bypass the majority o
13、f wait for most of rides and attractions including Mamba, Prowler, and Patriot. Ride as many times as you want all day long. Strategy: Most visitors tend to begin the day with Prowler, the hottest attraction in the park. Use that tendency to your advantage and head to the Patriot first. After that,
14、try the Dragons. Then work your way back to the Prowler. After riding the Prowler, there is only one coaster left, Mamba. Hit it next.

18、was talking in three and four word sentences before I was ten months old. Some say its a gift while others simply think I talk too much.As my thirties came to a close, I found myself reflecting on my life. Im very happy and have no significant regrets. However, when I looked back on those times of d
19、ifficulty, I saw a clear common denominator(特征); I didnt seem to know when to stop talking. Whether it was hurting someones feelings, or having carelessly told a secret, the incident could have been avoided had I closed my mouth sooner. So I decided to practice the power of quiet.To take this step,
20、I needed to understand how people could sit comfortably in a group and not talk. Why does my husband feel completely content to say nothing in a conversation? Hes highly intelligent and has wonderful opinions but hell sit quietly and just listen. Even when hes asked a pointed question, hell answer w
21、ith few words while still communicating effectively. What a talent!Can you imagine being happy just listening? In surveying those I know who talk less than I do, I got two answersthey either didnt feel confident enough to speak up, or they just didnt feel the need to participate in the conversation.
22、 Of course there were other reasons for not talking, but these were the two most popular answers.The first one didnt work for me. Im just fine letting people know what I think about them, and hopefully it will make the conversation much more interesting. The second one didnt work either. I do feel t
23、he need to participate. I feel it physically like an electrical pulse through my body; sometimes its so strong that it causes me to behave badly in the form of interrupting or speaking in an unusually loud voice. I had to look further.An interesting thing happened on this journey to the power of qui
24、et. During my weekly yoga class, it came to me like an answer so clear that the words rang in my head like soft, heavenly bells.I talked too much so people would know I cared about them. It was my way of taking care of those I love. I decided before my fortieth birthday, that from that day forward,
25、those around me would know I loved them, and cared what they thought and felt, but I was going to practice the power of quiet. As my forty-second birthday approaches, I can say that deciding to talk less has been more about focusing on quality rather than quantity. Ive found that listening more show
26、s those who I care about that I really do care how they feel. Now when I break in, it means more to them. Oh, sure, I still have my short periods of talking too much, but for the most part this has been one resolution that I can call a success.25. In Paragraph 3 the writer mentions her husband mainl
27、y _. A. to show how one communicates effectively B. to explain the reason for his silence in a conversation C. to give her high opinion of his communication skills D. to give an example of those who have the power of quiet26. By “I had to look further”, the writer means she had to _. A. look into th
28、e future in order to succeed in practicing the power of quiet B. try harder to prevent herself from talking too much C. find out other reasons why she should talk less D. survey people in other areas who talk little27. Which of the following best describe the writers character? A. Kind but pessimist
29、ic. B. Selfless but proud. C. Loving and active. D. Stubborn and sensitive.C Whats the most important thing in life? Peoples answers vary greatly. For British scientist Robert Edwards, the answer is having a child. Nothing is more special than a child, he told the BBC. Edwards, the inventor of the I
30、n Vitro Fertilization (IVF) technologymore commonly known as test-tube (试管) baby technologypassed away on April 10, 2013 at the age of 87. Edwards changed the lives of millions of ordinary people who now rejoice (高兴) in the gift of their own child, said Peter Braude, a professor at Kings College Lon
31、don. He leaves the world a much better place. Edwards started his experiments as early as the 1950s, when he had just finished his PhD in genetics. At that time, much of the public viewed test-tube babies as scary, according to Mark Sauer, a professor at Columbia University, US. Edwards and his coll
32、eague Patrick Steptoe faced opposition from churches, governments and media, not to mention attacks from many of their fellow scientists. People said that we should not play God and we should not interfere with nature, Edwards once told Times. He said that he felt quite alone at the time. But Edward
33、s was a fighter, and he believed in what he was doing, said Sauer. Without support from the government, the two struggled to raise funds to carry on. And in 1968 they finally developed a method to successfully fertilize human eggs outside the body.来源:Zxxk.Com The first test-tube baby was born on Jul
34、y 25, 1978. Her name was Is Louise Brown. Despite peoples safety concerns, Brown was just as healthy as other children. IVF had moved from vision to reality and a new era in medicine had begun, BBC commented. Ever since then, public opinion has evolved considerably. Couples who were unable to have b
35、abies began thronging (拥向) to Edwards clinic. Nowadays, Reuters reports, some 4.3 million other test-tube children exist. Edwards received a Nobel Prize in 2010 and was knighted (封为爵士) by Queen Elizabeth the following year. Before his death, Edwards was still in touch with Louise. He is like a grand

39、d B. f-b-e-c-d-a C. f-b-e-c-a-d D. f-e-d-a-c-bD A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech integrated systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine
40、 is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks. “Its extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components (元件),” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor wh
41、o has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our o
42、wn,” he said. They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything
43、its connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured. While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, of
44、f-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers fields or on the battlefield. “Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said. Wood says the design offers a
45、 new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult
46、 with the animals, but using these robots instead,” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day to day basis.”32. The difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that _.A. they had no mo
47、del in their mindB. they did not have enough timeC. they had no ready-made componentsD. they could not assemble the components33. It can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly _.A. consists of a flight device and a control systemB. can just fly in limited areas at the present timeC
48、. can collect information from many sourcesD. has been put into wide application34. Which of the following can be learned from the passage?A. The robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects.B. Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.C. There used to be few ways to study how insects fl
49、y.D. Woods design can replace animals in some experiments.35. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Father of Robotic FlyB. Inspiration from Engineering ScienceC.

50、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。iPads vs textbooks What if you could have your whole backpack at the touch of your fingertips? In the first month of the Apple iPads release, 25million were sold! People all over the world use iPads for all sorts of different things, but one of their finest qualities is
51、 the ability to be a textbook. 36 To begin with, iPads are less expensive. Textbooks become outdated and schools have to buy new books, but with an iPad schools can update them for free. 37 Schools dont have to spend $500 every year for iPads because they last a while and can be updated. 38 Students
52、 usually have multiple classes, which results in multiple textbooks. Heavy backpacks filled with books can cause back problems. A solution to that is an iPad, which only weighs 1.33 pounds and can hold all of a students textbooks. Thirdly, schools should get rid of their textbooks and get iPads beca
53、use they have more capabilities. Some might think all of the apps are distracting, but the apps actually make iPads more efficient. 39 Textbooks cannot do those tasks, but iPads can easily do them with just a tap of the fingertip. Lastly, iPads are a better choice for schools instead of textbooks be
54、cause these devices allow students to access their learning anywhere at any time. 40 With iPads, they find it easier to get their homework done.

55、e palm of their hands.A. These tablets are perfect for busy students.B. Secondly, iPads cost less and are more popular.C. Therefore, they can use the saved money for other programs.D. iPads have already replaced textbooks in over 600 American counties.E. Moreover, in high school, textbooks have an a

I 55 off my shoes and stockings in a light 56 and began walking 57 through the water. Maybe my neighbors thought that I had lost my 58 wisdom, but I dont care. For in that moment, I was
