第三部分 書面表達（共兩節(jié)，共30分）

• 11．Farm Theme Parks Popular in Japan
  In modern times，when we think or hear about major theme parks，what often comes to mind are successful franchises like Disneyland，Disneyworld and Universal Theme Parks.But a growing independent group of specialized theme parks in Japan are catching the attention of those who are in search of entertainment，fresh food and the feel of the great outdoors.
      For example，Namegata Farmers Village is a sweet potato theme park in Ibaraki Prefecture，an area noted for sweet potato production."The number of sweet potato producers has dropped due to the aging population.We thought up the idea to convey the charm of agriculture to young people who moved to urban areas because they didn't want to take over from aging farmers.We hoped to secure a stable future for sweet potatoes，"said Toshikazu Nagao，president of the village.
      Namegata Farmers Village covers a total area of about 33 hectares，or 82 acres，and utilizes abandoned farmland.A former primary school is used as the main facility.The park features the Yakiimo Factory Museum，a restaurant，a direct sales shop for agricultural products and rental farmland.Classes for making sweet potato cakes are popular among families with children.
      The concept of an agriculture theme park is not new in Japan.Iga no Sato Mokumoku Tezukuri Farm pioneered the concept of agricultural theme parks in the late-1980s.The farm opened in 1988 when MokuMoku Tezukuri Farm Co.，an agricultural corporation，attempted to improve the added value of Iga pork，a local brand.Local beer，bread and tofu are now produced at the 14-hectare farm.Visitors can experience making sausages in a factory，enjoy being close to animals，and eat at a restaurant.
      "I think farm theme parks are the future direction of agriculture.It should also lead to the preservation of the local rustic scenery（鄉(xiāng)村風光），"Naoyuki Matsuo，president of the farm said.
      Whether the theme park concept flourishing in Japan would ever work in other countries remains to be seen，but for those in Japan，at least，thinking outside the box is earning farmers and food corporations alike a good profit.
  
  （1）Who are usually attracted to farm theme parks in Japan？

  
  （2）Please decide which part is false in the following statement，then underline it and explain why.
  The first agriculture theme park in Japan opened in 1988 with the purpose of helping young people living in urban areas know more about rural life.

  
  （3）Naoyuki Matsuo said，"farm theme parks are the future direction of agriculture".
  Do you agree with him？Why or why not？（In about 40 words）
