细节理解题。根据第一段“Well,Pennywasmymother’sbestfriend,andshewasthepromiseofathrillingjourney,soIagreedandthenextdayIgotthebestshockofmylife.(Penny是我妈妈最好的朋友，她是一段激动人心的旅程的保证，所以我同意了，第二天我就得到了我一生中最大的震惊)”可知，同意去公园是因为她觉得和Penny一起去会很有趣。故选D。

【6题详解】

细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“ThelittlestrengthIhadleftwaspreservedfortheLeviathan,thelongestrollercoasterinthepark.Thatwasthepeak,themotherofallrides.(我仅存的那一点力气，是留给利维坦过山车的，那是公园里最长的过山车。那是巅峰时期，所有游乐园乘坐之首)”可知，认为TheLeviathan最令人兴奋的。故选A。
