2.Amusement parks make most of their money from admission fees paid by guests attending the park.Other sources include parking fees,food and drink sales and souvenirs.Practically all amusement parks operate using one of two admission principles:
Pay-as-you-go.In this form,a guest enters the park at little or no charge.The guest must then buy rides one by one,either at the attraction's entrance or by buying ride tickets.The cost of the attraction is often based on its complexity (復(fù)雜性) or popularity.The park may allow guests t o buy unlimited admissions to all attractions within the park.A pass is then shown at the attraction entrance to gain admission.
Disneyland opened in 1955 using t he pay-as-you-go form.Initially,guests paid the ride admission fees at the attractions.Soon,the problems of dealing with so many coins led to the development of a ticket system that,while now out of use,is still part of the amusement-park vocabulary.In this new form,guests bought ticket books that contained a number of tickets,with"A,""B"and"C."Rides and attractions using an"A-ticket"were generally simple,with"B-tickets"and"C-tickets"used for the larger,more popular rides.Later,the"D-ticket"was added,then finally the now-famous"E-ticket,"which was used for the biggest rides,like Space Mountain.Smaller tickets could be traded up for use on larger rides.Disneyland,as well as the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World,gave up this practice in 1982.
●The advantages include:
●guests pay for only what they choose to experience
●attraction costs can be changed easily
●The disadvantages include:
●guests may get tired of spending money almost continuously
guests may not spend as much on food or souvenirs

分析 本文敘述了游樂園采取了兩種制度,一是現(xiàn)收現(xiàn)付制,就是游客進(jìn)入游樂園時(shí)幾乎不付費(fèi)之后你要乘坐的任何工具和玩的設(shè)施都要一一付費(fèi),并且短文以迪士尼樂園為例進(jìn)行了介紹.
解答 24:C 主旨大意題.作者通過這篇短文主要介紹了游樂園的規(guī)章制度,故選C.
25:B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段Pay-as-you-go In this form,a guest enters the park at little or no charge.The guest must then buy rides one by one,按照現(xiàn)收現(xiàn)付制,進(jìn)入游樂園之后你要乘坐的任何工具或設(shè)施都應(yīng)付費(fèi),故選B.
26:B 詞義猜測題.根據(jù)第三段guests paid the ride admission fees at the attractions.Soon,the problems of dealing with so many coins led to the development of a ticket system that,根據(jù)soon可知?jiǎng)澗的應(yīng)是最初,最初游客在娛樂設(shè)施處付費(fèi),不久處理那么多的硬幣成了一個(gè)問題,故選B.
27:A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段Practically all amusement parks operate using one of two admission principles:可知上文只介紹了一種現(xiàn)收現(xiàn)付制,還有一種制度沒有提到,故下文該介紹另一個(gè)制度,故選A.
點(diǎn)評 考查學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力.做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確選擇.在做推理判斷題時(shí)不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí),要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
