AHere are a few ways to stay safe when visiting theme parks.Read Maps Ahead of TimeDoing a bit of homework before going to a theme park is always helpful. When people have to stop and read a map in the middle of a crowd of people, bad things can happen. Not only do people look like clueless(一无所知的) tourists that can be easily be taken advantage of, but they also risk wandering into the wrong place. Therefore, it is best to review bathrooms, security, and medical services before heading to the park.Watch Those KidsNot everyone has children but those that do have to be aware of the kids at all times. Because there are crowds, children always run the risk of getting lost. Sometimes the parents aren’t paying close enough attention and other times the children are so excited aboutsomething that they run ahead and get lost in the crowd. When visit theme parks, a policy of holding hands is always good, especially with young children.Take Less BaggagePeople will stay safer if they do not weigh themselves down with too much equipment and supplies. If people bring in too many things, they man set them down and get them stolen or create unbalanced situations where they have difficulty going through crowds.Stay in Touch All AlongThanks to modern communication technology, people have the tools to stay in touch when they travel around an amusement park. This is why it is important to keep cell phones close and set loud enough so that they can be heard over the noise of the amusement park. A cell phone won’t prevent every problem, but it can help with communication and keep people up-to-date if something happens.21.The underlined word “homework” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to ____.A.tasks that has to be done in the theme parkB.written work given by the teacher at schoolC.preparations that should be made before travellingD.reading all kinds of maps at home ahead of time22.If you bring many things with you while travelling, you’ll be ____.A.enjoyableB. convenientC. confidentD. worried23.From the last paragraph, we can learn that ____.A.children shouldn’t bring cell phonesB. cell phones are useful in keeping safeC. technology is developing very rapidlyD. people should keep up with modern technology24.The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to show how to ___.A.take good care of your childrenB. protect yourself from being injuredC. ask for help when you are in troubleD. keep safe when visiting theme parksBWhile only 12 years old, it seems like Cameron Manor has done it all! She is the Butterfly Caretaker at the Environmental Nature Center. She also creates fun educational videos about science. She makes and delivers free cupcakes to the elderly, and a story she wrote was publishedin Stone Soup, an international kids’ magazine! Through all of her hard work she was even named a Discovery Girl’s example!Cameron first started raising butterflies when her mother let her get her own butterfly growing kit(设备). After mailing in for the butterflies, Cameron received five black caterpillars(毛虫).One of Cameron’s favorite parts about raising her butterflies was decorating the bottom of the cage with flower petals(花瓣) and freshly sliced oranges so the butterflies could eat. “For anyone wanting to attract their own butterflies, he can attract butterflies by planting herbs, flowers, and trees such as wild cherry, willow, maple, alder, birch, gooseberry, currant, wild rhododendron and cabbage. Each flower and plant attracts its own butterflies,” Cameron says.Over the last six months Cameron has raised over seventy butterflies. Her love for and experience with nature helped her become the new Butterfly Caretaker. Right now the butterfly house is being built. “I look forward to the day the new caterpillars arrive, so then there will be butterflies once again in the house,” Cameron said excitedly. “I am also looking forward to leading tourists in the butterfly house, to teaching young children how they can be butterfly protectors and growers.”She also has a love of science. And the coolest thing is that she is using her knowledge of science to make fun educational videos for others. Cameron’s first science video was made for a contest on Discovery Kids.25.What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us?A.Cameron’s goalsB. Cameron’s studiesC. Cameron’ s hobbiesD.

The park is set high in the hills of Alton in Staffordshire and it is hidden among the trees.The buying up of the theme park has caused more and more money to be put into the park which is only good for thrill(惊险刺激) seekers! The amount of rides is increasing but at the expense of the admission fees. The higher fees by no means stops people from visiting though with still around 2.5 million visitors each year.The theme park is open this year from the 17th March through until 11th November. This gives riders the nice hot British summer time to enjoy the rides with preferably less rainfall. The gates to the park open at 9:30 am and the rides and other attractions open at 10:00 am. To make the most of your money and your day I would suggest getting there on time or it will seem wasted. When I went, we got there at around 1:00 pm and because of that we didn’t get around everything we wanted to.The cost of getting into the park these days is very expensive so trips there I think for most families would be few. There are many different prices as the cost changes depending upon how you pay and when you want to go. There are three sets of prices, normal day ticket, event day ticket and buying online. The prices are as follows:29.Which of the following is TRUE of Alton Towers?A.It lies at the foot of the hills of Alton.B. It has a history of more than thirty yearsC. It is covered with the trees and grassesD. It is the best national park in the UK30.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ____.A.There are fewer visitors to the parkB. there is a lot of money hidden in the parkC. visitors are satisfied with the admission feesD. many visitors pay visit to the park every year31.The author is regrettable probably because he/she ____.A.Wasted some money and timeB. arrived at the park ahead of timeC. didn’t get the ticket on timeD. had to leave the park too early32.If you are at the age of 10 and visit Alton Towers on St David’s Day with your parents, how much has to be paid online?A.£90B. £87C. £64D. £40第二节 (共3小题，每小题2分，满分6分)下面文章中有3处(第33~35题)需要添加小标题。
