## 题目原文

00:00:01,000 
 Section two. 
 00:00:02,960 
 You will hear part of a radio program about a theme park in the West of England called Fun City. First, you have some time to look at questions eleven to sixteen on page four. 
 00:01:01,360 
 Now listen carefully and answer questions eleven to sixteen. 
 00:01:08,860 
 And next, Peter Harley is just back from a fact-finding weekend with his family at the Fun City theme park. What can you tell us about it, Peter? 
 00:01:20,100 
 Well, Fun City's built in the grounds of a castle called Maidmont Castle. The theme park's open between March and November, and entry's from nine thirty AM, with the rides running from ten AM until nine PM. There are two types of tickets: basic tickets, which are just for the rides, and fast-track tickets, which also mean you don't have to queue. It's a lot cheaper if you book online. For example, a basic family ticket costs seventy-eight pounds online, whereas it's eighty-nine pounds if you pay at the gate. And for a fast-track family ticket, you pay ninety-five pounds instead of a hundred and thirteen pounds. 
 00:02:04,520 
 The park's split into themed areas. Main Street leads into Pirate Park, which is famous for its water ride, and you do get very wet, so leave this for the summer months because you'll dry off more quickly. Forget about wearing waterproofs, you'll still get wet. And do be careful with your camera. Mine got absolutely soaked. 
 00:02:28,600 
 Fun City spends a lot of money maintaining and upgrading the rides in the park. 
 00:02:34,560 
 For the future, the park's looking towards introducing Swivel, a medium-sized roller coaster aimed at the over sixteens. Nothing new there, you may think, but what really is different is the fact that it'll be constructed out of wood. The first roller coasters ever were built of this, so it'll give a real taste of a traditional ride, and you'll be surprised how fast it goes. 
 00:03:01,540 
 What about food? Well, there are loads of places to get things like hamburgers and drinks and crisps, but the cost will all mount up as the day goes on. So if I were you, I'd bring a packed lunch as there are lots of good spots for a picnic. One cafe we did try was called the Frisbee Cafe. It looked nice, but when we went in, there was only one girl serving a huge queue of people. That was often a problem, actually. Now, what would I recommend if you've only got a day to visit? Well, go early and leave late. Do the rides, then instead of going down to Main Street to see the parade, take a rowing boat out onto the lake and watch the evening firework display. The gardens are wonderful too, but I'd leave those for another time, especially if you've got kids with you. 
 00:03:59,140 
 Before you hear the rest of the program, you have some time to look at questions seventeen to twenty on page five. 
 00:04:12,180 
 Now listen and answer questions seventeen to twenty. 
 00:04:34,320 
 Now let's look at the rides in detail. The first one we went on was Cowboy. We all had a great time on this ride, especially my eight-year-old son who loves Wild West stories. But even our younger daughter seemed to enjoy all the shouts and bangs. And because we went on it first, we didn't even have to stand in a queue for long. 
 00:04:57,380 
 Then we went to the driving school ride. Our two youngest absolutely loved whizzing round the circuit in a car and taking their pretend driving test at the end. The older one couldn't do it as there's a height limit of one meter twenty. He was quite disappointed. 
 00:05:16,620 
 We'd wanted to go on Airlift, but we couldn't because the kids were too young. But we watched it from the ground. Everyone says that out of all the rides, this is the scariest. They go up high, then swing round a corner, and at the end, there's a vertical drop. Even though they know it's coming, everyone screams their heads off when they get there. 
 00:05:39,720 
 We did go on the Magic ride, though. This takes you on a journey through a haunted castle with an evil magician. If you enjoy reading horror stories, this is for you. And just when you think you're safely through the castle... Well, I won't tell you what happens as that'd spoil the ride for you. One piece of advice, take a spare pair of- 
 00:06:06,400 
 That is the end of section two. 
 00:06:09,200 
You now have half a minute to check
