Modern theme parks

 The history of modern theme parks started with the pleasure gardens of Europe, which were built around important cities in the 1550s. The main attractions were flowers, fountains, dancing, fireworks, games, stage shows and some simple amusement rides. These pleasure gardens were early amusement parks, from which theme parks developed.

In the late 1880s，with the decline(衰退) of pleasure gardens in Europe, amusement parks spread to North America, mostly to solve the money problem of railway companies. People used railway services a lot during the week to go to work, but much less on weekends and other holidays. Therefore, amusement parks were built at the end of railway lines so that people would use the railways every day.

In 1894, Paul Boyton, an Irish American, built the world's first modern amusement park called Paul Boyton's Water Chutes in Chicago, USA. Since then, amusement parks have grown in number and size.

Today, there are still many amusement parks around the world. For example, Bakken Amusement Park in Denmark, which was opened in the 1580s, is the oldest amusement park in the world.

Modern theme parks grew out of amusement parks. Different from amusement parks, theme parks place more importance on showing themes or ideas in some related(相关的) areas. These theme areas recreated a special time and place for visitors to enjoy themselves. Common themes are culture，fantasy，history and religion.

The most important theme park began with a mouse and a man, Walter Elias Disney, better known as Walt Disney.

答案与解析　

【解题导语】　本文列了几则到中国杭州旅游的小贴士。

1．which　分析句子结构可知，这里要用关系代词引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词Hangzhou并在从句中充当主语成分。故用which。

2．as　as much as possible意为“尽可能多地”。

3．with　杭州是一个有许多有趣的地方的城市。故用介词with。

4．to decide　分析句子结构可知，此处缺少表语，又因为空处的动作是还未发生的动作，故应用动词不定式作表语。

5．how　分析句子结构可知，此处为“特殊疑问词＋动词不定式”作decide的宾语，又根据语境可知，应用how。

6．attractions　根据语境可知，此处意为“旅游景点”，需要用名词形式，且杭州的旅游景点很多，故要用名词的复数形式。

7．better　根据句中的连词than可知，这里表示两者之间的比较，所以要用good的比较级形式better。

8．asking　空处位于介词After之后且与后面的reading并列，故用动词－ing形式。

9．to walk　forget to do sth.表示“忘记去做某事”。

10．off　fall off “(从某物上)掉下，脱落”。
