三、阅读理解 (共20小题; 每小题2分, 满分40分)
A
The state of Florida is best known for its beaches and palm trees. But a large part of it is swamp(沼泽地). The famous Everglades, a slow-moving sheet of water full of plants and alligators(鳄鱼), covers much of the southern part
of the state. To the north, the Okefenokee, which is partly in Florida and mostly in neighboring Georgia, is a true swamp with its own alligators and snakes.
It was formed when waters from an ancient ocean drew back and a large sandbar(沙洲) blocked most of the water flow to the sea.
There is no big city within 200 kilometers but tourists from all over the world manage to find it. They all want to know about its unusual name. Okefenokee is a Miccosukee Indian word meaning land of trembling(颤抖的) earth. Way back in the swamp are small, floating(漂浮的) islands, which one can walk across. And they tremble. Standing on them is like trying to balance on a floating mattress(床垫).
The Okefenokee, which is already nearly filled with plants, would probably dry up and become just another forest if it were not for the fires that come along from time to time. So the water in this protected National Wildlife Refuge keeps moving — slowly, very slowly.

Art experts say that the movement began in New York in the 1960s. Young adults would use paint in special cans to put their words and other images (图案) on walls and train cars (火车车厢) around the city.
