本单元重、难点的讲解
1．Have you ever been to an amusement park?
你去过露天游乐场吗？
amusement park（美）儿童乐园；露天游乐场
amusement作不可数名词时，当“娱乐，消遣、兴趣”；作可数名词时，当“快乐的事；娱乐（品）。”如：

To our great amusement，the teacher sang a funny song in class.
老师在课堂上唱了一首滑稽的歌，令我们非常愉快。
There were lots of amusements at the fair.

②be amused at / by / with…以……为乐。如：

theme作为名词，常见的短语为：
theme park（依特定主题所建造的）主题公园，（儿童）乐园

theme, subject与topic的辨析
三个词都有“题目，话题，主题”之意
subject是此意的常用普通词；意广；
topic指讨论、文章等的题目，话题，通俗用语；
theme一般指论文、演讲、音乐等的主题，较正式，意狭。如：

What is the subject of his new play?
他这部新剧的主题是什么？
4．Excuse me. Am I going in the right direction?

①direction可作“方向，方位，方面”讲，用作此意时，与in搭配，即构成：
in every direction/ in all directions朝四面八方
in the direction of…朝……的方向
in the opposite direction朝相反的方向
②direction还可作“指挥，指导”，用作此意时，多与under搭配。如：

一批古钱币被埋在他家后院。

①句子前半部分What they all have in common是一个what引导的主语从句，其后谓语动词用单数形式，后半部分that they combine fun with the opportunity to learn something是一个that引导的表语从句，that不作任何成分，只起连接作用。
②combine…with…把……和……结合起来

7．But theme parks also try to make sure that visitors leave knowing more about their theme.
但是，主题公园还尽量得保证游客离去时还对公园的主题有更多的了解。

I missed a good opportunity to give my opinion on it.
我失去了对那事提意见的机会。
I had the chance of visiting Paris.我有机会访问巴黎。
There is no opportunity for drawing back.没有后退的机会。
“抓住机会”有以下几种形式表达：

chance与opportunity的辨析
chance多指偶然的机会，含有侥幸的意味在内

10．Having enjoyed the rides at the Headland, visitors can take the shuttle to the Lowland.
游客在高地车乘以后，可以坐穿梭车去低地。

他们浇完了蔬菜之后就开始摘苹果。
Having been told many times, he still couldn’t understand it.

11．Visitors can go on exciting rides where they can feel what it is like to do the things they have seen their heroes do in the movie.

①整个句子是一个复杂的复合句，它含有状语从句、宾语从句和定语从句。where引导地点状语从句，因为rides不是表地点的先行词。what引导宾语从句，they have seen…是定语从句，修饰things，关系代词由于在从句中作宾语而被省略了。例如：
Please make marks where you have any questions.
请在你有问题的地方做记号。（where引导了一个地点状语从句）

我们起床起得很早，所以赶上了第一班公共汽车。（so that 引导结果状语从句）
