Question

In addition to being a financial success, Disneyland was a personal satisfaction to his founder Walt Disney. It expressed his ideas of all that is true and good and beautiful in this world. He never was tired of visiting the park himself, of expanding it and improving it. Even today, Disneyland is kept spotless. Every night, each street and walkway is washed, and workers with knives get down on their hands and knees to scrape (刮，擦) up chewing gum that has been dropped by visitors. (Visitors to the park are called “guests” never “customers”) Every year, some 800,000 plants are replaced because Disney refused to put up signs asking his “guests” not to step on them. All of this has reduced the profits, but it adds immeasurably to the attraction of the park. Undoubtedly it helps explain why an amazing fifty percent of the people who enter Disneyland’s gates have been there before.

The park’s general design contributes to the visitor’s pleasure. There are plenty of shade trees, much grass, and lots of cool water in ponds and lakes and rivers—all man-made. The park is divided into five sections. In one section, the visitor walks along an American Main Street as Disney remembered from his childhood. Another section (Tomorrow land) shows the world of the future. A third, Adventure land, satisfies the universal love of exploration. Still another, Fantasyland, takes the visitor into the dreamlike worlds made famous by Disney films. Finally there is Frontier land, which represents the Old west. It is possible, in a single day, to visit in imagination every continent and almost every historical period. There is something for every group.

Most of what has been said about Disneyland is also true of Walt Disney World. This is a second huge amusement park outside of Orlando, Florida, designed to thrill east-coast visitors as Disneyland has thrilled those in the west. Millions of children and adults have visited its Main Street, Magic Kingdom, and other unforgettable attractions.

【解析】这是一篇介绍说明类文章。文章介绍了有关迪士尼乐园（Disneyland）的信息。

1.推理判断题。由第一段中的“In addition to being a financial success, Disneyland was a personal satisfaction to his founder Walt Disney. It expressed his ideas of all that is true and good and beautiful in this world”可知，迪士尼乐园除了是一个商业成功之外，对于他的建造者沃尔特∙迪斯尼来说，它也是令他满意的一个事物。它表达了他对世界上所有真实，美好的事物的看法。由此可以推知，迪士尼乐园实现了沃尔特∙迪斯尼的价值观。故C选项正确。

2.推理判断题。由第一段中的“Every year, some 800,000 plants are replaced because Disney refused to put up signs asking his “guests” not to step on them”可知，每年，大约有80万株植物被替换，因为迪士尼拒绝挂上要求参观者们不要踩踏植株的牌子。由此可以推知，迪士尼允许游客们踩踏植株。

3.细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“Finally there is Frontier land, which represents the Old west. It is possible, in a single day, to visit in imagination every continent and almost every historical period”可知，在Frontier land，游客们可以了解美国历史的每个时期。故D选项切题。

4.推理判断题。由最后一段中的“Most of what has been said about Disneyland is also true of Walt Disney World. This is a second huge amusement park outside of Orlando, Florida, designed to thrill east-coast visitors as Disneyland has thrilled those in the west”可知，关于迪士尼乐园的大部分情况也适用于沃尔特·迪斯尼世界。它位于佛罗里达州奥兰多郊外，是一个大的娱乐园。其目的就是像迪士尼乐园在西部使人们兴奋一样使东部海岸的游客们兴奋。由此可以推知，沃尔特·迪斯尼世界和迪士尼乐园具有一样的吸引力。C选项正确。
