UNIT 3 单元加餐练(三)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
The most popular of the amusement parks in Canada is Paramount Canada's Wonderland.This park frequently gets the most visitors of any seasonal park in North America.One reason is its numbers of wild rides.For younger kids, the television characters are very exciting.You can see Fred Flinstone, SpongeBob SquarePants or Dora the Explorer.There are often rides starring these characters that are more popular among younger children.There are plenty of fantastic shows for families to watch as well.What's more, the admission to the park includes the nearby Splash Works.
Another popular theme park is Galaxyland Amusement Park.Amusement park's fun shouldn't be limited to just the summer months, and Galaxyland is aware of this.As the world's largest indoor amusement park, Galaxyland packs in it 25 breathtaking rides and attractions.It is also home to one of the world's largest indoor roller coasters.Galaxyland remains one of the most popular theme parks in Canada for older children because of attractions like the Rock ‘N’ Ride Dance Party.This party combines music, music videos and unlimited rides from 8 p．m. to midnight.
One of the most visited amusement parks in Canada on the west coast is Playland.Playland, unlike other Canadian theme parks, has a long history in its city.Playland has all the fun of a carnival, with scary houses, merry go rounds(旋转木马) and a ferris wheel.There are also modern additions in the park, like a climbing wall for kids and a video game room.Playland is open from spring through fall, though only on weekends and holidays before 18th June and after 1st September.

And, as a lot of families do, I was enrolled (注册) in piano lessons 4 I had absolutely no interest in learning how to play it.So, it 5 ．Lesson after lesson I 6 but didn't play carefully at the time when I was meant to practise.Finally, I just quit 7 and my piano teacher told my parents that I was 8 ．Great — no more piano lessons.However, the music 9 didn't end here.It went on to where I decided what I wanted to 10 and that ended up being the drums.I enjoyed playing the drums and went on to play in several bands for many years after that.

C．situation D．consequence
解析：选C 冒号后的内容是作者面临的“情况(situation)”。

6．A.designed B．applied
C．provided D．attended
解析：选D 根据didn't play carefully at the time I was meant to practise 可知，作者去“上(attended)”课了，但在课堂上却不好好练习。最后发展到放弃“练习(practising)”，于是老师说作者在弹钢琴方面“没希望(hopeless)”了。

Shanti knew Jodi wouldn't make enough money for the medicine now.The market would be closing soon.
Shanti looked at the money in her hand.It was supposed to be for the beautiful doll she'd been dreaming of for so long.Then she looked at her friend's tired face.“Here, keep this for the medicine.”Shanti put her money into Jodi's hands.

Unfortunately, Ramu told Shanti someone had bought the doll.Shanti picked up her money silently and ran out of the door before Ramu could see her tears.Much to Shanti's surprise, when she arrived home, she received a large package and there was a note: For our best friend, Shanti.From Jodi and Kiran.With shaking hands, Shanti opened it.It was her doll! Jodi had bought it for Shanti! The dress was red and decorated with tiny white flowers.Shanti hugged the doll and said she would call her Jasmine.
