2、ory: Worlds of Fun was opened on May 26, 1973, at a cost of 25 million dollars. Loosely themed around the Jules Verne book, Around the Worldin Eighty Days, the park was founded by Hunt Midwest Company. In 1982, Hunt Midwest bought a nearby waterpark, Oceans of Fun. In 2013, Worlds ofFun and Oceans o

3、f Fun were combined to a one ticket admission, providing all guests with access to 235 acres of amusement and 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.Reservat

4、ions: Worlds of Fun sells “Fast Lane ” cards that save riders time by allowing them to bypass ther majority of wa most of rides andattractions 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 at

5、traction in the park. Use that tendency to your advantage and head to thePatriot first. After that, try the Dragons. Then work your way back to the Prowler. After riding the Prowler, thereisonly one coaster left, Mamba. Hit it next. If the park is not very crowded, you can ride Boomerang on the way

6、to Mamba. After riding Mamba, head backfor a ride on the Wolf. By then you will have tried most of the popular rides and attractions in the shortest possible time.News: In 2017, Worlds of Fun is adding Steel Hawk, a ride that will take guests up 301 feet in the air and spin them at a 45-degree angle

7、 for a60-second flight. Wait to have a try!21. When did Hunt Midwest s two parks start to share one ticket?A. In 1937B. In 2013C. In 1982D. In 201422. With a “ Fast Lane ” card, the visitor can _.A. save some moneyB. buy tickets onlineC. avoid lining up for longD. enjoy all the rides for free23. Wha

8、t is talked about in the part of Strategy?A. The hottest attractions in the park.B. The highest ride in the park.C. The most popular tour season.D. The best visiting route.24. According to the passage, by beginning with_ a visitor can try most of thepopular rides and attractions in the shortest poss

9、ible time.A. ProwlerB. DragonsC. PatriotD. WolfBWith fuel costs rising and airlines finding more fees to impose on travelers every day, airfare isnnce you t getting anyccan t drive to all your dream destinations, flying is the only way to go sometimes and, undeniably, the fastest. Luckily, there are

10、 plenty of ways to find themost affordable fares and also avoid paying as many extra charges as possible when you plan ahead.Getting the best fare. Airlines put out their fare sales on Tuesday morning, making this day the best day to book a flight for less.Fly during the least popular times. Tuesday

11、, Wednesday and Saturday are the slowest days to fly, which means cheaper deals than the rest of theweek. You can also find reduced rates on early morning flights, since many people don t like to get up before the sun to get to the airport. Earlier boardingtimes can also considerably cut down your c

12、hances of getting bumped on an overbooked flight or delayed because of other delayed flights or mechanicalissues.Choose your seat later. Some airlines charge you to pick your seat when you book online, adding even more to the bottom line of your ticket cost. Ifyou show up early on your travel day, y

13、ou can still get suitable seats. Some of the best seats get held back until flight day, unless others are willing to payextra for them ahead of time, so you still have the chance at one of those.Fly on holidays. You already know that summer is the most expensive time to fly, and even though most oth

14、er times are more affordable, the dayssurroundi ng holidays can be crazy. Save big if you re willing to travel on major holidays, such as Thanksgivingand Christmas.Don t wait until the last-minute to book. Many travelers don t know that there s a sweet spot for booking and getting the bestprice on y

15、our tickets. Book too early or too late and you could end up paying more than you need to. The best time to book is between three months and2six weeks from when you want to travel.Avoiding extra fees Airlines will charge for just about anything these days. Some have even toyed around with charging c

16、ustomers for using therestroom. All those extra fees can certainly add up, but there s no reassnrectqnaHehE m if youdonare some tips to keep money in your wallet once you get to the airport.Avoid the upgrade its not necessary. Sometimes upgrades are free, but mostly you will be charged for seeking a

17、 last-minute bump to first class, andthe cost can be hefty.Fly carry-on only. Baggage fees vary wildly, but almost all airlines charge them and charge big. Why pay for your clothes to fly with you? If everyonein your travel party checks a bag, your bill can be astronomical before you ever even get t

18、o your desti nation. It seasy to reduce the amount of stuff you pack: Make sure all your clothing coordinates, so you can take less and still make more outfit combinations, takeonly two pair of shoes, plan to do a bit of laundry on your trip and bring only travel-sized toiletries.Pack your own snack

19、s. Unless you re flying internationally, it ur flight cormesawithGa free meal. Snacks on the plane are not cheap and almostnever healthy. Don t rely on what s on the small menu and instead tuck some of yogranrtasbackshomemade muffins, fruit and trail mix all make fantastic travel foods - into your b

20、ag and eat a lot better, and cheaper, than other passengers.Do you have a tried and true method of getting the best deal on your flights? Let us know.25.Tuesday is the best to book a ticket at a lower cost for_.A. fewer people travel on Tuesday.B. the flights are slower than usual.C. fare sales are

21、usually announced on Tuesday.D. flights are seldom delayed on Tuesday.26.Which of the following will help to cost you less for a flight?A. Book your flight on Thursday.B. Travel surrounding Christmas.C. Pick your seat the moment you book onlineD. Book early morning flights27.The underlined word “ he

23、ngers.D. plan to do the washes on flight.CMy mom takes pride in the fact that I was talking in three and four word sentences before I was ten months old. Some say it a gift while others simplythink I talk too much.As my thirties came to a close, I found myself reflecting on my life. I m very happy a

24、nd have no significant regrets. However, when I looked backon those times of difficulty, I saw a clear common denominator（ 特征）;I didn t seem to know when to stop talking. Whether it was hurting someone s feelings, or having carelessly told a secret, the incident could have been avoided had seld） my

25、mouth sooner. So I decided to practice the power ofquiet.To take this step, I needed to understand how people could sit comfortably in a group and not talk. Why does my husband feel completely contentto say nothing in a conversation? He s highly intelligent and has wonderful opinions but he and just

26、 ll silisten. Even when he s asked a pointed question, he ll answer with 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 answers they eitherdidn t feel confident enough to speak up

27、, or they just didn t feel the need to participate in the conversation. Of coirrse there werereasons for not talking, but these were the two most popular answers.The first one didn work for me. I rjust fine letting people know what I think about them, and hopefully it will make the conversation much

28、 moreinteresting. The second one didn t work either. I do feel the need to participate. I feel it physjcallelectrical pulse through my body; sometimes itng that stocstuoes me to behave badly in the form of interrupting or speaking inan unusually loud voice. I had to look further.An interesting thing

29、 happened on this journey to the power of quiet. During my weekly yoga class, it came to me like an answer so clear that thewords 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 for

30、tieth birthday, thatfrom that day forward, 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 qu

31、antity. I fovedthat listening more shows 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 myshort periods of talking too much, but for the most part this has been one resolution that I can call a success.29. In Paragraph 3

32、 the writer mentions her husband mainly _ .A. to show how one communicates effectivelyB. to explain the reason for his silence in a conversationC. to give her high opinion of his communication skillsD. to give an example of those who have the power of quiet30. By “I had to look further”, the writer

33、means she had to _ .A. look into the future in order to succeed in practicing the power of quietB. try harder to prevent herself from talking too muchC. find out other reasons why she should talk lessD. survey people in other areas who talk little31. Which of the following best describe the writers

34、character?A. Kind but pessimistic.B. Selfless but proud.C. Loving and active.D. Stubborn and sensitive.DA 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 aseries of new high-tech integrated systems. Des

35、igned to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow itto stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.“It s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just thesum of a bunch of individual components （元件）, ”

36、saidRobert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who 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 proisjetchtalitke thisactually none of those components are off the s

37、helf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” he said.They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly.“The seemingly simple system whgicsh just movesthhas a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but the

38、n has to be matched well toeverything its connected to, ” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computantigona,nsdensicontrol 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 rob

39、otic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it mightsomeday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers fields or on the battlefield. “ Basicallyit should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he s

40、aid.Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologieson board could have much broader applications.“You can start thinking about using theemn to answer opscientific questions, you know, to study b iology

41、in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead, said. “So there are a lotof 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

42、 that _.A. they had no model in their mindB. they did not have sufficient 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 limi

43、ted areas at the present timeC. 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 fe

44、w ways to study how insects fly.D. Wood s design can replace animals in some exepriments.35. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Father of Robotic FlyB.
