课时作业
Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共17.5分)
A
Many small American towns are known for their beautiful scenery, but very few have something special to offer. The following are known for their unique styles.
Scottsboro, Alabama
This attractive town is known as“The Lost Luggage Capital of the World”thanks to the ①unclaimed luggage center, where lost items such as snow skis, instruments and ②engagement rings are for sale. In addition to the store, which has become one of Alabama’s top tourist and shopping attractions, the city’s parks and heritage centers are popular places to visit.
Hope, Kansas
Hope is a city in southern Dickinson County, Kansas, with a population of 317.It has several antique shops. Hope’s motto, which is also the name of the town’s song, is “There will always be ‘Hope’ in Kansas”.
Branson, Missouri
Although its population is just over 10,000, Branson hosts over 9 million visitors each year. When the best-selling novel, The Shepherd of the Hills, written by Harold Bell Wright, was released in 1907, readers rushed to the Ozark hills to experience its famous views. Now tourists also get to visit the world’s largest Toy Museum, the world’s largest Titanic Museum Attraction and the record-breaking theme park, Silver Dollar City.
Leavenworth, Washington
Leavenworth is a European-inspired destination, offering a collection of outdoor activities all year long. It welcomes almost 2 million tourists each year and is home to the Nutcracker (胡桃夹子) Museum, which has more than 7,000 nutcrackers from around the world. Many of its visitors travel to the village in December during its annual holiday festival to see it light up with more than one million lights.

As we know, queues (队列) have always been related to the theme park experience. Disliked by many, attractions do their best to stop them from having a bad influence on the guest experience. However, queues remain a necessity for ①gated attractions with popular rides.
The most obvious problem with queues is that they waste time, and for guests, wasting their limited time during their visit leads to a poor experience. For attraction operators, queues can be a letdown too. Even though long queues might be a sign that business is good, the more time guests spend tied up in long lines, the less opportunity they have to spend money on on-site retail and food offerings.
Thankfully, technology is developing to meet changing guest expectations. Many theme parks are taking guests out of physical queues and putting them into virtual queues through an app or ②wearable device.
③Free from queues, guests are likely to spend their time and money far more freely around the attraction. Even though no one has to wait in line, attractions can still offer queue upgrades within a virtual queue system. According to a recent survey done by Attractions.io, over 84% of theme park visitors said they would rather use virtual queuing.
But queuing isn’t all bad, either. Making a queue part of the experience can also create an opportunity for better guest management. For example, Disney observes queues on many of their rides to give worried kids a space to relax. For smaller attractions, physical queues can be useful for judging how busy different rides are likely to be.
So to queue or not to queue? We say, why not both. In an ideal world, every attraction will have both virtual and physical queues. While virtual queuing can ensure that no one has to stand in line for hours, not every ride will need one. Short physical queues may still work for smaller or less popular rides, which guests can even enjoy while they wait in line virtually for another ride.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了景点现实排队让人烦扰,有许多不利之处,但虚拟排队可缓解这一问题,作者期望同时采取现实排队和虚拟排队形式。

4.What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 1 refer to?( )
A.Guests. B.Queues.
C.Attractions. D.Experiences.

B
解析:词义猜测题。由第一段中“As we know, queues have always been related to the theme park experience. Disliked by many, attractions do their best to stop them from having a bad influence on the guest experience. (……许多景点都不喜欢队列,景点会尽最大努力阻止them对游客体验产生不良影响)”可知,队列一直与主题公园的体验有关,所以景点会尽最大努力阻止排队对游客体验产生不良影响,画线词指代“Queues”。故选B项。
