Everglades National Park is a park in danger. It is part of the Everglades.
At one time, water moved freely in the Everglades. During the rainy season, water from the Kissimmee River flowed (流动) into Lake Okeechobee. And the lake water spilled onto the flatland. From there a shallow (浅的) sheet of water ran down and emptied into Florida Bay. This shallow sheet of water was the Everglades River. It was up to 50 miles wide and over 100 miles long.
The Everglades are home to many rare plants and animals in the world. Today, some of these plants and animals are in danger.
The main reason is that the Everglades is no longer a free-flowing river. Canals have been built to dry most of the shallow river. Most of the water from the Everglades is kept in man-made lakes. The water cut into Everglades National Park has done more harm than good. Now it has harmed the wildlife in the park.
Water pollution is another reason some plants and animals are disappearing. Years ago, large areas of the Everglades were turned into farmland. Today the fertilisers (化肥) used on crops are polluting the water. The “river of grass” is slowly disappearing. Many kinds of plants are disappearing. Animals don’t have anything to eat.
The problems facing Everglades National Park are very serious. But there is still hope. Work has already been done to save the Everglades. The government of Florida is working hard to try to fix the problem.

解析
【解析】
27. 词义猜测题。根据第二段语境,雨季时基西米河的水流进奥基乔比湖,随后湖水______到平地上,结合上下文可知此处指湖水溢出,"spilled"与"Flowed over"(漫出,溢出)意思相近,故选A。
28. 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句"The main reason is that the Everglades is no longer a free-flowing river."可知,大沼泽地面临的主要问题是水不再能自由流动,故选D。
29. 文章结构题。文章第一段提出大沼泽地国家公园处于危险之中的问题;第四、五段分析问题产生的原因;最后一段表明已有拯救行动,政府正努力解决问题。因此文章结构为“提出问题→解释原因→给出解决方案”,故选C。
30. 主旨大意题。文章开篇点明大沼泽地国家公园处境危险,中间分析原因,最后提及拯救措施,全文围绕大沼泽地的危机及拯救展开,最佳标题为"Saving the Everglades",故选A。
