请认真阅读下列短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Welcome to the Honeypot Farms Corn Maze Explore the “paths” cut through thousands of living cornstalks (玉米杆) in our 22-acre corn maze, the largest in New England! There are 18 stations strategically placed throughout the maze with answers to a sheet that you will be given before entering. You need to find your way out on your own! What’s the average time it takes to exit the maze? It ranges. We’ve had folks find their way out in under an hour; others are still in there. What if I don’t make it out before Honeypot Farms closes? We strongly suggest building a shelter and a fire before nightfall. The temperature really drops inside the maze and, from what we understand, securing a campsite can be controversial. Is there crime inside the maze? We wish we were immune to typical corn-maze problems, but we aren’t. Crime is an usual issue, particularly theft and physical attack. While we’re doing everything we can to contain these threats, please be cautious and don’t invite conflict. Keep cell phones and candy apples out of plain sight at all times. What if I need medical attention in the maze? We airdrop medical supplies into the maze on Mondays and Thursdays. Do not save these supplies, as others in the maze need them desperately. An unfortunate consequence of these airdrops is the recent formation of a maze-wide black market --- one that also deals in food, blankets, and phone accessories (配件). I heard that people sometimes find the maze exit but choose not to leave. We’ve found that some folks do in fact experience the feeling that they belong there. Life inside the maze begins to make sense to them in a way that their previous lives outside never did. It doesn’t take long for awareness of their former selves to completely fade away, at which point they submit fully to the maze and are reborn. 56. The Honeypot Farms Corn Maze is _____. 高三英语 第5页 （共16页）
