THEME PARKS — FUN AND MORE THAN FUN

Which theme park would you like to visit? There are various kinds of theme parks, with a different park for almost everything: food, culture, science, cartoons, movies or history. Some parks are famous for having the biggest or longest roller coasters, others for showing the famous sights and sounds of a culture. Whichever and whatever you like, there is a theme park for you!

The theme park you are probably most familiar with is Disneyland. It can be found in several parts of the world. It will bring you into a magical world and make your dreams come true, whether you are travelling through space, visiting a pirate ship or meeting your favourite fairy tale or Disney cartoon character. As you wander around the fantasy amusement park, you may see Snow White or Mickey Mouse in a parade or on the street. Of course Disneyland also has many exciting rides, from giant swinging ships to terrifying free­fall drops. With all these attractions, no wonder tourism is increasing wherever there is a Disneyland. If you want to have fun and more than fun, come to Disneyland!

Dollywood, in the beautiful Smoky Mountains in the southeastern USA, is one of the most unique theme parks in the world. Dollywood shows and celebrates America's traditional southeastern culture. Although Dollywood has rides, the park's main attraction is its culture. Famous country music groups perform there all year in indoor and outdoor theatres. People come from all over America to see carpenters and other craftsmen make wood, glass and iron objects in the old­fashioned way. Visit the candy shop to try the same kind of candy that American southerners made 150 years ago, or take a ride on the only steam­engine train still working in the southeast USA. You can even see beautiful bald eagles in the world's largest bald eagle preserve. And for those who like rides, Dollywood has one of the best old wooden roller coasters, Thunderhead. It is world­famous for having the most length in the smallest space. Come to Dollywood to have fun learning all about America's historical southeastern culture!

If you want to experience the ancient days and great deeds of English knights and ladies, princes and queens, then England's Camelot Park is the place for you. Every area of the park is modelled after life in the days of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. In one place, you can watch magic shows with Merlin the Wizard. If you want to see fighting with swords or on horseback, then the jousting area is a good place to visit. If you do well there, King Arthur may choose you to fight in the big jousting tournament. Do you like animals? Then visit the farm area, and learn how people in ancient England ran their farms and took care of their animals. To enter a world of fantasy about ancient England, come to Camelot Park!

主题公园——是娱乐,又不仅仅是娱乐

你想参观哪个主题公园?有各种各样的主题公园,不同的公园有不同的主题,但几乎囊括了一切:食物、文化、科学、卡通、电影或历史。有些主题公园以有最大或最长的过山车而闻名,有些则因展示了文化中的著名景点和声音而扬名。无论你喜欢哪一个,喜欢什么,总会有一个适合你的主题公园!

你最熟悉的主题公园可能是迪斯尼乐园。世界上好几个地方都有迪斯尼乐园。它可以把你带进一个魔幻世界使你梦想成真,或遨游太空、或参观海盗船、或遇到你最喜欢的童话故事或是迪斯尼卡通里的人物。当你畅游幻想游乐园时,你可能会在游行队伍或街道上看到白雪公主或米老鼠。当然迪斯尼乐园也有很多刺激的供人乘坐的设施,有巨大的吊船还有可怕的自由落体设施。有这些吸引人之处,难怪有迪斯尼乐园的地方游客就会不断增加。如果你想娱乐而又不仅仅是娱乐,那就请来迪斯尼乐园吧!

位于美国东南部美丽的斯莫基山脉中的多莱坞,是世界上最独特的主题公园之一。多莱坞展示并欢庆美国东南部的传统文化。尽管多莱坞也有供人乘坐的设施,但是它主要吸引人的地方在于它的文化。著名的乡村乐队全年在室内或露天的剧院演出。美国各地的人都会来这观看木匠或其他工匠用古老的方法制作木制品、玻璃制品和铁制品。你可以光顾糖果店,在那品尝到和150年前美国南方人制作的一样的糖果,或者你也可以乘坐美国东南部仅有的仍在运转的蒸汽式火车。你甚至可以在世界上最大的秃鹰保护区见到漂亮的秃鹰。多莱坞为那些喜欢乘坐游乐设施的人提供了最好的老式木制过山车之一——雷暴云砧。它因在最小的空间里拥有最长的长度而闻名于世。来多莱坞吧,可以尽享美国东南部的历史文化!

如果你想体验远古时代英国骑士、贵妇、王子和王后的生活,那么英国的卡默洛特公园很适合你。园内所有景区都是按照亚瑟王和圆桌骑士生活的时代复制的。在一个地方,你还能和大魔术师梅林一起观看魔术表演。如果你想观看击剑或马上格斗,格斗区是你参观的好地方。如果你表现得好,亚瑟王可能会选中你参加骑士比武大会。你喜欢动物吗?那就来参观农场区,在这里你可以了解古英格兰人是如何打理他们的农场以及如何饲养动物的。想到古英格兰的魔幻世界,那就请来卡默洛特公园吧!

[语法初识]

[语法剖析]

英语中词的构成方法主要有三种:合成、派生和转化。

由两个或更多的词合成一个词,有的用连字符"­"连接,有的直接写在一起,还有的由分开的两个词构成。

1.合成名词

2.合成形容词

3.合成副词

4.合成代词

5.合成动词

[点津] (1)由"可数名词+介词(短语)"构成的复合名词变复数时,把前面的名词变复数。例如:father­in­law→fathers­in­law

(2)由man和woman构成的合成名词变复数时,两个名词都要变成复数。例如:woman doctor→women doctors

(3)由"名词+名词"构成的复合名词,在变复数时,只变化中心名词,而修饰名词不变。例如:girlfriend→girlfriends

派生法是由一个词根加上前缀或后缀构成另一个词。

1.前缀

前缀一般只改变单词的意思,不改变词性。

2.后缀

后缀常会改变单词的词性,构成意思相近的其他词性;少数后缀还会改变词义,变为与原来词义相反的新词。

转化是一个单词由一个词性转化为另一种或几种词性。

FUTUROSCOPE — EXCITEMENT AND LEARNING

Last week I took a journey deep into space, to the end of the solar system, and was pulled into a black hole. Then I took a trip to Brazil and experienced surviving an airplane crash in the jungle. After that, I joined some divers and went to the bottom of the ocean to see strange blind creatures that have never seen sunlight. For a break, I took part in some car racing and then skied down some of the most difficult mountains in the world. I ended my travels by meeting face to face with a dinosaur, the terrible T­Rex, and survived the experience!

I did all this in one great day at Futuroscope. Opened in 1987, Futuroscope is one of the largest space­age parks in the world. This science and technology­based theme park in France uses the most advanced technology. Its 3­D cinemas and giant movie screens provide brand new experiences of the earth and beyond. Visitors can get close to parts of the world they have never experienced, going to the bottom of the ocean, flying through the jungle or visiting the edges of the solar system. The amazing, up­to­date information together with many opportunities for hands­on learning makes the world come to life in a completely new way for visitors. Learning centres throughout the park let visitors try their own scientific experiments, as well as learn more about space travel, the undersea world and much more.

I bought tickets for myself and my friends at the park's entrance, but tickets are also available online. Futuroscope is not only for individuals, but is also the perfect mix of fun and learning for class outings. Classes or other large groups that let Futuroscope know their plans in advance can get the group admission rate. For

anyone coming from out of town, Futuroscope has many excellent hotels nearby, most of which provide a shuttle service to the park. If driving, Futuroscope is within easy reach of the freeway. Plan your trip well before starting, since Futuroscope has so many shows, activities and great souvenir shops that it is difficult to see them all. Come ready to walk a lot — be sure to wear some comfortable sneakers or other walking shoes!

"观测未来"——刺激与求知

上星期我进行了一次太空旅行,到了太阳系的尽头,被拖进了一个黑洞。然后我去巴西旅行,感受了坠机后在丛林中生还的滋味。然后我跟随潜水员潜入海底,观看那些神秘的、从未见过阳光的生物。作为休息,我参加了赛车,并到世界上最险要的山上滑雪。最后,我和可怕的霸王龙面对面,死里逃生之后,我的旅行结束了。

我在"观测未来"用了一天就完成了这些事。"观测未来"于1987年开放,是世界上最大的太空时代公园之一。这座科技主题公园在法国,它采用了最先进的技术。它的立体电影院和巨大的电影屏幕为我们提供了在地球以及更远的地方进行全新体验的机会。参观者可以去从没去过的世界其他地方,可以潜入海底,飞越丛林或游览太阳系边缘。这些奇妙的、最新的信息以及大量动手实践学习的机会,让世界以一种全新的方式展现在游人面前。学习中心遍及整个公园,可以让参观者尝试做自己的科学实验,也可以了解到更多关于太空旅行、海底世界等方面的知识。

我是在公园入口为自己和朋友买的门票,不过也可以网上订购门票。"观测未来"不仅仅适合个人,也适合学生全班出游,因为它是娱乐与学习的完美结合。班级或大团体要提前告知"观测未来",这样可以得到入场优惠。"观测未来"还为城外的游客在附近提供舒适的宾馆,大部分宾馆都有去公园的往返汽车。如果开车去,走高速公路很方便。出发前要计划好旅行,因为"观测未来"里有很多的表演、活动和纪念品商店,你很难全部浏览。做好走很长的路的准备——一定要穿舒适的运动鞋或其他便于步行的鞋!

[写作技法指导]

1.景点介绍类的文章就是对某一地方的自然环境,或对其过去、现在及未来的状况进行描述,向人们展示该地区的风貌,包括地域特点、位置、人口、面积等。

2.抓住该地点的基本特征。介绍地点,目的是让人明白无误地了解它,并且给人留下深刻的印象。因此写作时要首先抓住其基本特征,即该地点区别于其他地方的标志性特征。

3.要遵循一定的写作顺序,使文章条理清楚,中心突出。介绍地点通常采用空间顺序,即按照事物的空间存在形式,从外到内、从上到下、从前到后依次介绍或说明,反之亦然。

4.适当地运用描写,以增加文章的文采,使写作内容更能打动读者,达到最佳的表达效果。
