As we all know, there are plenty of different parks to visit in the UK. All theme parks in Britain have cafes, restaurants, picnic areas and gift shops, so you'll still have plenty to see and do when you and the kids have been on enough rides. There are usually smaller “unfair” rides and games as well, so younger children won't get bored. Several theme parks also have other attractions next to them, e.g. water parks often open all year round, unlike the theme parks.
Whenever you are in Britain, there's likely to be a theme park within one or two hours’ drive, bus ride or train journey. Several theme parks even have accommodation(住宿) so you can stay for a day for two if you want to make a trip into a short holiday.
Prices for UK theme parks differ a lot: some have an entrance price which allows you to go on all the rides, while in others you have to pay for every ride separately. It can also make a difference whether you go during peak time or not. For example, tickets always cost more during school holidays and weekends than they do during the weekdays.
Theme parks always get very busy during the summer months, so if you don’t like crowds, it is usually a good idea to go earlier or later in the year!
If you're thinking of visiting a UK theme park, it's worth having a look for special offers on tickets. Products such as chocolate bars and cereals sometimes have “buy one get one free” offers on theme park tickets, so keep a look out in shops and supermarkets.
21. What can’t you do in the theme park according to the passage? A. Have lunch.
B. Have a skiing.
C. Enjoy special offers.
D. Stay for the night.
22. What should you do if you are tired of crowds in the theme park? A. Avoid the busiest months.
B. Go there when no one is in it. D. Go earlier or later in the daytime.
C. Choose one with few visitors.
23. What is the passage intended to do? A. Introduce famous theme parks. B. Introduce the theme parks in the UK. C. Tell the readers the prices of theme parks. D. Tell the readers tips for visiting the theme park.

Tenzing left his home when he was ten to work and help his mother，who was looking after their 2-acre ancestral farm after his father’s death. He did temporary（临时的）jobs for the first few years and then joined a Malaysian construction（建筑）firm，where he learnt to drive，repair machines, work on the Internet and even speak English fluently.
“In those 13 years，I learnt everything—driving, mechanic work，and how to set up a small factory. This made me gain much confidence to do almost all jobs,” says Tenzing.
However, as his mother was getting older, on December 12, 2006, Tenzing returned to his hometown in Assam. Having visited several farms, he came to know that tea could be easily exported and many tea companies were buying tea; so he also decided to grow tea on his farm. But as his family had never grown tea, he had no idea how to do it.
Without specialized knowledge in this field, Tenzing went to meet with many tea experts and followed their instructions. But whenever he used pesticide (农药）on his farm, he’d get a headache and feel indisposed. So he started looking for other choices, Tenzing did his research online and finally in 2007, he connected with people from a Canadian non-governmental organization and invited them to his farm, where they trained him. Thus, Tenzing started growing tea organically.
Today Tenzing has 25 acres of land, in which 7.5 acres is used for tea planting, and he grows almost all types of fruits and vegetables. His success inspired many, and farmers from other parts of the country also started coming to his farm to learn organic farming. He has trained about
30,000 farmers so far. Every year almost 100 tourists visit his farm from many parts of the world like the UK, Australia, Germany, etc.
24. Why did Tenzing want to grow tea on his farm? A. His mother was getting older. C. His land was best for tea growth.
B. Tea sold very well at that time. D. He was tired of temporary jobs.
25. What does the underlined word “indisposed” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Unfair.
B. Prepared.
C. Touched.
D. Uncomfortable.
26. Which of the following could be the best title of this passage? A. A Hot Tourist Attraction in Assam B. The Biggest Tea Farm in Assam C. Assam, A Success in Tea Exports
D. Tenzing, Assam’s First Organic Tea Farmer

A culture's values can be mirrored by its humor. Humor has been evaluated(评估) by many great minds such as Thomas Hobbes, who, in \else but sudden pleasure arising from sudden thought of feeling far better than others.\humor to be a negative(消极的) quality of human narrow-mindedness.
However, Mordechai Gordon, PhD of Education, insists, \from an position that is amusing rather than serious.\world through humor is important.
In the United States, every four years an election occurs. Without humor as a way to express their feelings, how would Americans be willing to support the election? Television shows like \Daily Show\have become important parts of American culture. They are mothering the common people by unknowingly inputting politics into our mouths. They make politics fun.
Of course, politics is only one type of humor. Social humor helps people through the twists and turns of the human condition. American pop culture encourages an unhealthy self image. On the topic of self-image, Hari Kondabolu stands out. He has a joke about the popular musical group \He points out an obvious illegal activity in American culture.
