AWhoppie WhizzerThis thrilling ride that has you holding onto your seats in fear attracted more visitors than any other single attraction last year. The ride starts with a few gentle spins that gradually increase in speed, so that after thirty seconds you’ re moving round at 15 miles per hour! Suitable for anyone over 14 years of age, this ride is open throughout the season. It’s one you certainly don’t want to miss, so make sure you have a go early on in the day to avoid disappointment.SpooksvilleThis is a haunted house（鬼屋) with a difference — come and visit if you dare! A hired team of professional actors perform stunts（特技表演）and try to frighten you senseless, and be warned — they will! Still, you have to judge for yourselves, so bring all the family along to this attraction. Enter alone at your own risk!Aladdin's Magic MazeOur Magic Maze is Europe’s biggest, as you will realize as soon as you try to find your way out! The walls of our corridors（走廊）are covered with mirrors so that when you start walking through, it can be pretty confusing — we' re still waiting for someone to beat the record exit（离开）time of twenty-two minutes. If you think you can do it, come along and try!Pirate ShipThis huge pirate ship has been specially designed just for kids — it' s made of inflatable（可充气的）plastic so they can't hurt themselves! During our thirty-minute sessions they can climb up and down in the ship and enjoy themselves. Around the ship is the Slippery Scales swimming pool which they can swim around in — its new wave-m achine will make them believe they’re really at sea! Teams of trained staff always keep an eye on their activities so parents can relax and enjoy themselves too!21. In which attraction can visitors experience a high speed ride?A. Pirate Ship.B.

One American woman in Texas waited a long time for her chance to reach that goal.The woman, 85-year-old Janet Fein, received her bachelor’s degree (学士学位) from the University of Texas in December, 2018.Fein has had a full life. She raised five children and then had a career as a secretary (秘书) until she retired at age 77. But even then, she was not ready to take it easy and rest during a well-earned retirement. She decided to major in sociology (社会学).Fein grew up in the Bronx area of New York City. In high school, she just wanted to finish and get a job. After graduating early, at the age of 16, she went to work as a secretary.After getting married, she spent 18 years staying home with her children. She held several jobs throughout her life, including being a secretary at a Dallas hospital. That is the job she retired from in 2011. She received an associate degree (专科学位) in 1995. But she also wanted to earn a bachelor’s degree. Fein took part in a state program that lets people who are 65 and older take free classes at public universities in Texas.She kept going to class even as her health condition worsened. During her studies, it became necessary for her to use a walker to get around and she needed oxygen (氧气) too. She also developed knee problems. So, Fein took online classes to finish the last part of her degree requirements.Renee Brown is one of Fein’s care-givers. She says Fein has also inspired her. At 53, she plansto begin nursing school to further he r career. Brown says Fein told her, “Renee, you can do it. If I can do it you also can do it, and you will feel so good about it.”24. When did Janet Fein start to work?A. In 1933.B. In 1995.C. In 1949.D. In 2012.25. What does she study for her bachelor’s degree?A. Sociology.B. Secretary.C. History.D. Health.26. What does the underlined word “inspired” probably mean in the last paragraph?A. shocked.B. disappointed.C.employed.D. encouraged.27. What can we learn from Janet Fein’s story?A. Practice makes perfect.B. It is never too late to learn.C. A friend in need is a friend indeed.D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.CLocated at Europe’s biggest water park, the Galaxy Erding in South Germany, the world’s first VR water slide takes the exciting experience to a whole new level by offering thrill-seekers the choice of three attractive worlds —Space, Sky, or Snow. By simply wearing a headset, riders can slidethrough a magical alien world, follow beautiful butterflies around floating islands or put themselves in a white winter wonderland. To make the experience even more heart-stopping, the 160-meter-long ride that lasts about 35 seconds has two uphill tracks that provide a roller-coaster-like experience.While the tire slide, which has been successfully tested by almost 10,000 park goers since it opened in February 2018, is impressive, the technology behind it, developed by California startup Ballast is even more so. The specially-created waterproof headsets can be worn in water up to a few meters deep, without harming the delicate Samsung Galaxy S8 mobile devices that run the custom software for the VR experiences. The headsets also charge wirelessly (无线地), allowing park operators to swap out sets throughout the day.The biggest challenge the company faced, however, was providing a suitable VR experience for everyone. That’s because unlike roller coasters, where the speed is fixed for all riders, water slide speeds vary depending on the weight of the person. To overcome the issue, Ballast fixed smart sensors (传感器) in important areas along the slide to keep track of the rider’s progress at all times. The information, conveyed through the headset, allows the custom software to adjust his or her location within the virtual world accordingly, making for a smooth, seasickness free ride for all.Though Ballast is thrilled at Space Glider’s success, the company has bigger ambitions. They want to create an experience where guests will be able to swim underwater surrounded by virtual dolphins, whales, and even sharks, without wearing the heavy headsets!28.What can people do if they go to the Galaxy Erding?A. They can swim with dolphins.B. They can explore the outer space.C. They can experience VR water slide.D. They can swap out sets all day long.29.Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?A. The tire slide has been successfully tested so far.B. Water slide speed vary depending on the age of the person.C. Thrill-seekers take the exciting experience by wearing a headset.D. The specially-created waterproof headsets can be applied in water.30.What can help park goers experience a smooth, seasickness free ride?A. The painkillers.B. The fixed speed.C. A sensor fixed in important areas.D. Virtual dolphins, whales and sharks.31. The author seems to be _______the VR water slide.A. totally againstB. sorry to seeC. in favor ofD. neutral (中立) aboutDDieting to lose weight has become very popular in recent years. People have become more health conscious and try to take better care of their bodies by eating more healthily and exercising more regularly to lose any unnecessary fat that they may have.Not only are people being more careful about what they eat they are also concerned with how they eat and how their meals are prepared. People are taking more time for each meal. Many avoid the so-called“plastic" fast-food hamburgers and choose to eat a salad or a sandwich of more healthful ingredients in a quiet restaurant with a more comfortable atmosphere. At home, they also try to take enough time to eat a relaxed dinner without phone or TV interruptions.While dieting may be viewed as beneficial, it has also become a serious problem for Americans, particularly for young women. Dieting for them has actually become a psychological (心理的) addiction. They eat so little that they can lose as much as fifty percent of their total body weight, and although they look like skeletons, they still insist that they are fat.The current wave of exercising, dieting and the problems produced have caused many organizations to begin educating the public. Many schools, hospitals, health organizations, newspapers and magazines, for example, are offering classes, printing articles and so on to inform the public of the way to exercise and diet of the dangers of dieting too rapidly, and of the places people can go for medical help if they find themselves on the road to“diet addiction.32.
