Ready to join the party and plan a visit to O-Town? Just print out our list that suits your style.Universal Orlandos Islands of AdventureThe addition of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter was among the list of must-visits for theme park enthusiasts. Each of the parks “islands” Toon Lagoon, Jurassic Park, and The Lost Continent has unique appeal in the form of rides and interactive attractions. (407-363-8000)GatorlandIt bills itself as “Orlandos best half-day attraction”, for in a city people are limited by their time and money. Catch Gatorlands animals and handler（驯化） shows in the afternoon. Theres a nighttime run as well, including the Gator Night Shine and various activities. Gatorland ranks as a parative theme-park bargain. (407-855-5496)AquaticaOne of the citys most unique water parks, Aquatica is a fantastical world of twisting, turning rides and sparkling white sand beaches. And if you enjoy a side of terror with your water-park fun, be sure to check out Ihus Breakaway Falls. This towering slide is an eight-story mind-bender of a plummet（垂直落下） that is not for the weak heart. The less exciting will still find plenty of fun splashing from one giant wave pool to another or drifting down the lazy river through a world of unusual fish. You can also watch the black-and-white mersons dolphins underwater. (407-351-3600)Warbird AdventuresFew attractions are more hands-on historic than Warbird Adventures, which offers thrill-seekers the opportunity to fly like the hero aces of World War II in the North American T-6 Texan. Flights range from 15 minutes to an hour. A visit to the nearby Kissimmee Air Museum is a wonderful way to round out the experience. (407-870-7366)1. For fans of Harry Potter, theres _.A.

Before he ordered, he couldnt help but noticed a group of younger men at the table next to him. It was obvious they were making fun of something about him and it wasnt until he remembered he was wearing a small pink ribbon(丝带) on the lapel （翻领）of his suit that he became aware of what the joke was all about.The man pretended not to notice it, but the whisper and laughter began to get to him. He looked one of the rude young men straight into the eye, placed his hand beneath the ribbon and asked, “This?”With that the young men all began to laugh out loud. The man he spoke to said, “Hey, sorry, man, but we were just menting on how pretty your little pink ribbon looks against your blue jacket!”The middle-aged man calmly invited the joker to e over to his table, and politely seated him. As unfortable as he was, the young guy had to, not really sure why. In a soft voice, the middle-aged man said, “I wear this ribbon to bring awareness about breast cancer. I wear it in my mothers honor.”“Oh, sorry. She died of breast cancer?”“No, she didnt. Shes alive and well. But her breasts nourished me as a baby, and were a soft resting place for my head when I was scared or lonely as a little boy. Im very grateful for my mothers breasts, and her health.”“Umm,” the young replied, “yeah.”“And I wear this ribbon to honor my wife,” the man continued.“And shes okay, too?” the young guy asked.“Oh, yes. Shes fine. Her breasts have been a great source of loving pleasure for both of us, and with them she nurtured and nourished our daughter 23 years ago. Im grateful for my wifes breasts, and her health.”“Uh, huh. And I guess you wear it to honor your daughter, also?”“No. Its too late to honor my daughter by wearing it now ”Shaken and ashamed, the young guy said, “Oh, Im so sorry, mister.”“So, in my daughters memory, too, I proudly wear this little ribbon, which allows me the opportunity to enlighten others. And here” With this, he reached in his pocket and handed the young man a little pink ribbon. The young guy looked at it, slowly raised his head and asked, “?”4.

Shall we have some drink together?7. What is the best title for the passage?A. An Unusual Meeting. B. An Impressive Lesson.C. Be Grateful to Your Beloved. D. Little Pink RibbonCJohn D. Rockefeller once said, “The ability to deal with people is as purchasable a modity (日用品) as sugar or coffee. And I will pay more for that ability than for any other under the sun. ”Wouldnt you suppose that every college in the land would conduct courses to develop the highest-priced ability under the sun? But if there was one, it would not escape my attention.The University of Chicago conducted a survey to determine what adults want to study. That survey cost $ 25,000 and took two years. The last part of the survey was made in Meriden, Connecticut. It had been chosen as a typical American town. Every adult in Meriden was interviewed and requested to answer 156 questions such as “What is your business or profession? Your education? How do you spend your spare time? What is your ine? Your hobbies? Your ambitions? Your problems? What subjects are you most interested in studying?” and so on. That survey revealed that health is the prime interest of adults and that their second interest is people; how to understand and get along with people; how to make people like you; and how to win others to your way of thinking.So the mittee conducting this survey decided to conduct such a course for adults in Meriden. They searched for a practical textbook on the subject and found none. Finally they approached one of the worlds outstanding authorities on adult education and asked him if he knew of any book that met the needs of this group. “No,” he replied, “I know what those adults want. But the book they need has never been written.”I knew from experience that this statement was true, for I myself had been searching for years to discover a practical handbook on human relations. Since no such book existed, I have tried to write one for use in my own courses. And here it is. I hope you like it.8. What does John D. Rockefeller suggest about the ability to deal with people?A. It is as easy as drinking a coffee.B. It is very important in everyday life.C. It is affordable for everybody.D. It is more expensive than expected.9. What is the purpose of the survey conducted by the University of Chicago?A. To find out what adults desire to learn.B. To show what the adults ambitions are.C. To identify what skill is most needed for adults.D. To explain what changed peoples life.10. What challenge did the mittee have to face when conducting the course?A. Less financial support. B. No proper textbook available.C. Fewer qualified teachers. D. Lack of enough appeal.11. We can learn that the author wrote a book about .A. conducting a scientific surveyB. changing your way of thinkingC. developing good human relationsD. giving a practical business courseDxx was an influential year for artificial intelligence (人工智能), not just in terms of the advancement of the technology itself, but also for the development of our understanding of AIs impact on our society.When we talk about AI, often we focus on the belief that it is going to take away certain types of jobs. However, we often ignore the fact that this technology will also slowly spread into most of our lives.Thanks to the development of AI, we are on the highway of IA, (human) intelligence augmentation (增强). Despite the great steps weve made in AI development and will continue to make in xx, we are still years away from AI fully replacing human jobs. However, we are much closer to seeing the impact of AI spread into almost every job and the growth in human intelligence.Take a doctor for example: AI will soon be able to detect and diagnose mon diseases more quickly and accurately than humans. Now, doctors can spend more of their time explaining the possible diagnoses, municating with patients and developing unique, reliable treatment plans that are most effective for each specific patient.However, AI is so powerful and its adoption will only accelerate as it begins to help our work and allow us to focus on the parts of our job that are most important. But part of why AI is so attractive is also why its so dangerous. That is, that same power allows AI that are making incorrect decisions to do so with greater speed and impact than humans have ever had.This is why, as AI bees more useful in xx, it will also bee more closely examined. xx will be the year when panies purchasing AI products dont just ask about the power of AIthey will make sure that it is tested carefully in advance, minimizing their potential unexpected impact.12. What does the author suggest in the first two paragraphs?A. Many jobs should be replaced by AI in the future.B. People should think more about the impact of AI.C. AI is too abstract for ordinary people to understand.D. People care little about the development of AI.13. The author takes the example of “the doctor” to explain that .A. AI always makes right decisionsB. doctors will lose their jobs very soonC. human intelligence grows with AID. humans are no better than AI in medicine14. What will be the focus about AI in xx according to the authors prediction?A. The safety of AI.B. The possibility of replacing humans.C. Cost reduction.D. Power augmentation.15. What is the authors attitude towards AI?A. Indifferent.B. Negative.C. Doubtful.D.

The reason is that we are all afraid of making fools of ourselves. _16_But stop biting your finger-nails. Public speaking is easy. Its just plain talking, and you talk all the time. Although Im basically shy (honest!), Ive been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years, and I can tell you that public speaking is not a “gift” like musical talent. _17_ Here are some of the lessons I have learned:Your audience is going to e away with one or two of your main ideas. One or two. Not ten or 20. _18_ And if you dont have a clear idea of what you want to say, theres no way your audience will. _19_ how you are going to open, what major points you want to make and how youre going to close.When I do a radio or TV piece, I often write the last sentence first. _20_ A strong close is critical: the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember.The standard length of a vaudeville (杂耍) act is usually 12 minutes. If all those performers singing and dancing their hearts out couldnt go on longer without boring the audience, what makes you think you can?A. Some people are born to be good at making speeches.B. Anybody who can talk can speak in public.C. Try to relax yourself before making the speech.D. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we bee.E. If you cant express in a sentence or two what you intend to get across, then your speech is not focused well enough.F. When you know where youre headed, you can choose any route to get there.G. No matter how long or short your speech is, youve got to get your ducks in a row.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。It was a summer evening almost 30 years ago.
