必修4 Unit 5THEME 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 traveling 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 free-fall 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 Americas traditional southeastern culture. Although Dollywood has rides, the parks 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 old-fashioned 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 steam- engine train still working in the southeast USA. You can even see beautiful bald eagles in the worlds largest bald eagle preserve. And for those who like rides, Dollywood has one of the best old wooden roller coasters, Thunderhead. It is world-famous for having the most length in the smallest space. Come to Dollywood to have fun learning all about Americas historical southeastern culture! If you want to experience the ancient days and great deeds of English knights and ladies, princes and queens, then Englands 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!FUTUROSCOP 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 T-Rex, and survived the experience! I did all this in one great day at Futuroscope. Opened in 1987, Futuroscope is one of the largest space-age parks in the world. This science and technology-based theme park in France uses the most advanced technology. Its 3-D 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, up-to-date information together with many opportunities for hands-on 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 mote. I bought tickets for myself and my friends at the parks 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!主题公园是娱乐，又不仅仅是娱乐你想要参观哪一个主题公园呢？（世界上）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、电影及历史。有一些主题公园因为有最大或者最长的过山车而闻名，有些则展示了文化中那些著名的声音和视觉景象。不论你喜欢哪一个，不管你喜欢什么，都会有一个适合你的主题公园！你最熟悉的主题公园很可能就是迪斯尼乐园吧。世界上好几个地方都有迪斯尼乐园。无论你是在太空遨游，参观海盗船，还是邂逅你最喜欢的童话故事或者迪斯尼卡通里的人物，迪斯尼会把你带入一个魔幻的世界，使你的梦想变成现实。当你在游乐园漫步时，你可能会在游行队伍中或者街上看到白雪公主或米老鼠。当然，迪斯尼还有很多颇具刺激性的游乐设施，比如巨大的吊船和可怕的自由落体（设施）。有所有这么多引人入胜的东西，难怪哪里有迪斯尼乐园，哪里的旅游业就会兴旺。如果你想尽情娱乐，而且有更多的收获，那就来迪斯尼乐园吧！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地区的传统文化。尽管这里也有供搭乘的游乐设施，但是公园最具吸引力的还是它的文化。著名的乡村音乐乐团全年都会在露天或室内的剧院演出。美国各地的人们来到这里，是为了观看木匠或其他工匠们用老式的方法整理木制品、玻璃制品和铁制品。还可以到糖果店品尝一下糖果，这些糖果和150年前美国南方人整理的一模一样。或者乘一乘蒸汽火车，这可是在美国东南部依然运转的唯一一辆蒸汽火车。你甚至可以在世界上最大的秃鹰保护区欣赏到美丽的秃鹰。多莱坞为那些喜欢乘坐搭乘设施的人提供了最好的老式木质过山车之一雷暴云砧。它因为在最小的空间内拥有最长的长度而闻名于世。来多莱坞尽情了解所有的美国东南地区的历史文化吧！如果你想体验远古时代并且感受英国骑士、贵妇、王子和王后的高贵举止，那么英国的卡默洛特公园对你而言就再适合不过了。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。在有的地方，你还能和大魔术师梅林一起观看魔术表演。如果你想观看剑术或马上格斗，格斗区是一个值得去的好地方。如果你在那表现好的话，亚瑟王可能会挑选你参加大型的格斗联赛。你喜欢动物吗？那就来农场区参观吧。在这里你可以了解到古英格兰人是如何打理他们的农场以及照看他们的动物的。想进入古英格兰的梦幻世界吗？那就来卡默洛特公园吧！“观测未来”刺激与求知上周我进行了一次深入太空的旅行。我来到了太阳系的尽头，被拖进了一个黑洞里。然后我游览了巴西，感受了坠机后在丛林中求生的滋味。随后，我跟着一些潜水者潜入海底观看从未见过阳光的奇怪的失明的生物。作为间歇，我参加了一个赛车比赛，然后来到世界上最险要的山上滑雪。最后，我面对面地遭遇了一只恐龙可怕的霸王龙，在死里逃生之后，我的旅行也结束了。在“观测未来”主题公园，我在一天之内就做完了所有这些事情。“观测未来”于1978年开放，是世界上最大的太空时代主题公园之一。这个以科技为基础的法国主题公园使用了最先进的技术。它的立体电影以及那巨大的电影屏幕能为人们提供在地球上以及超越地球的全新体验。参观者可以接触到他们从来没有经历过的世界的角落，比如潜入海底，飞跃丛林，或者参观太阳系的边缘地带。这些让人惊讶的最新的信息加上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。遍布公园的学习中心可以让参观者尝试做他们自己的科学实验，与此同时可以学到更多关于太空旅行、海底世界等的知识。我在公园的入口处给自己和朋友买的票，但是也可以在网上购票。“观测未来”主题公园不仅仅适合个人（旅游），也适合学生全班出游，因为它是娱乐和学习的完美结合。班级或者大的团体如果提前让“观测未来”知道他们的计划，还可以拿到团体入场价格。“观测未来”附近为那些从城外来的游客准备了很多很好的旅馆，而且大多数旅馆都提供往返公园的车辆服务。如果开车（也很方便），“观测未来”就在高速公路附近。在出发之前好好计划一下你的旅行，因为“观测未来”里面的表演、活动和好的纪念品商店太多了，所有要全部游览完是很难的。来这里要准备走许多的路一定要穿上舒适的运动鞋或者其他走路穿的鞋！Unit 5 课后单词theme n. 题目；主题（曲）Camelot Park 卡默洛特公园（位于英国）central adj. 中心的；中央的Central Park 中央公园（位于美国纽约）Dollywood n. 多莱坞（公园名，位于美国）various adj. 不同的；各种各样的cartoon n. 漫画；动画片be famous for 以而闻名roller coaster n. 过山车whichever pron. 无论哪一个；任何一个pirate n. 海盗；盗版fairy tale 神话故事；童话fantasy n. 幻想；怪念头amusement n. 消遣；娱乐（活动）swing n. 秋千；摇摆vt. & vi.
