听力原文: We may think that an amusement park is designed and set up only for children and teenagers. As far as I can tell, adults can also find the delight in visiting and on most occasions are eager to enjoy the amusement park. Adults visit an amusement park for several reasons. For one thing, an amusement park is a place where it is acceptable to pig out on junk food. At the park, everyone including the adults is drinking Soda and eating popcorn, ice-cream and hotdogs, Nobody seems to be on a diet. So buying all the junk food you can eat in an amusement park is guilt free experience. Another reason why people visit an amusement park is to prove themselves. They want to visit the park that has the newest, scariest and most frightening ride in order to say they went on the parachute drop, the seven story elevator, the water shoot, or the guest slide. They think that going on a scary and frightening ride is a way to feel courageous and adventurous without taking too much of risk. A final reason that people visit an amusement park is to escape from their everyday pressures. When people are placed at the top of the gigantic roller coaster, they are not thinking of their bills of work or personal problems. A scary and frightening ride from a high place can empty an adult's mind of all worries except making it to the bottom: safe and sound. Adults at an amusement park may claim that they have come for their children. But they are there for themselves as well.
(35)
A.They are built only for children or teenagers.
B.They provide scary and frightening experiences.
C.They never allow adults to participate.
D.They seldom help adults to reduce weight.

Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place "Tomesha"—the land of fire. Death Valley's present name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been declared a National Monument (纪念碑) and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardly mined the special beauty of this place.
Here nature created a lot of surprising, almost like the sights on the moon, ever- changing as the frequent wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and variable parts of Death Valley is the Devil's Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures (沙雕) stand on a frightening ground, as evening shadows move and lengthen.
______is the lowest place in the desert.
A.Tomesha
B.Death Valley
C.Nevada
D.Badwater

"If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket."
"I can't write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so."
I looked down the counter and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, "What do all the people do?"
"We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not."
"So when it goes down, you go down with it."
"That’s what happens, sir."
"How long will the computer be down?" I wanted to know.
"I have no idea. Sometimes it's down for ten minutes, sometimes for two hours. There is no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it’s down it won’t answer us."
After the girl told me they had no backup computer, I said, "Let's forget the computer. What about your planes? They're still flying, aren't they?"
"I couldn't tell without asking the computer."
"Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he’s flying to Washington." I suggested.
"I wouldn’t know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to ' Washington', he couldn’t take you if you didn’t have a ticket."
"Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours.'?"
"I wouldn't know," she said, pointing at the dark screen. "Only 'IT' knows. 'it' can't tell me."
By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage(行李).
The best headline for the article is ______.
A.When the Computer Is Down
B.The Most Frightening Words
C.The Computer of the Airport
D.Asking the Computer

Americans who live in cities such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; they expect others to "push back", just as city people do in Tokyo, Beirut, or Sao Paulo, for example. But when they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kind and will take great care to help you. Many of them first came to the city as strangers and they remember how frightening a new city can be. If you need help or want to ask a question, choose a friendly looking person and say, "I am a stranger here. Can you help me?" Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find your way or answer your questions. But you must let them know that you need help, otherwise they are unlikely to help. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or discouraged; just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy helping a stranger.
The writer intends to tell you something about ______.
A.city life in America
B.the fast pace in big cities in America
C.foreigners first arriving in the U. S.
D.Americans attitude towards foreigners
