Question

    The Disneyland parks are full of amusements, but they are also small cities that deal with deliveries, rubbish, and groups of visitors. People need to move from one place to another; they have to refuel and relax. To meet these requirements, the parks are well-equipped in reality. For example, Disneyland Park in California has a reliable transport system. In Walt Disney World in Florida, dustbins are spaced 30 feet apart, and all of them are emptied through underground tubes.

None of this happened by accident. Walt Disney first had his idea for a play land in 1937. He first imagined the park's buildings in a small size. He spent years collecting ideas by visiting other places. He studied Beverly Park in Los Angeles, including rebuilt historic villages. He visited Colonial Williamsburg, where employees dressed up and walked around.. Then he organized a team of engineers and designers to plan and build a small world he called Disneyland. Walt Disney had blueprints（蓝图）drawn up, and tried to get the permission to break ground（破土动工）.

In 1953, he bought some land in Anaheim. Some designers thought it was too far, but Disney went ahead It was like building a new city Pipes had to be fixed. Railway track had to be laid around. Disney chose the hub-and-spoke（轴辐式）street pattern that many cities have. “I want Disneyland to be a place where you can't get lost,” he said, Designers and architects also diagrammed（图解）the rides and made models, while artists painted the background.

Finally in July 1955, the visitors came. If they picked up maps, they could see the results of years’ planning: the shops and restaurants, the square, and the streets. The magic city had finally jumped off the drawing board and come into real life.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。短文叙述了迪斯尼乐园内部是如何被沃尔特·迪斯尼设计和规划的。

1.推理判断题。由第一段 People need to move from one place to another; they have to refuel and relax. To meet these requirements, the parks are well-equipped in reality. For example, Disneyland Park in California has a reliable transport system. In Walt Disney World in Florida, dustbins are spaced 30 feet apart, and all of them are emptied through underground tubes可知，人们需要从一个地方移动另一个地方；他们需要补充能量和放松。为了满足这些要求，这些公园配备的设备很齐全。例如，加利福尼亚的迪斯尼乐园有可靠的交通系统。 在佛罗里达州的华特迪士尼世界度假区，垃圾箱间隔30英尺，所有垃圾都通过地下管道排出。由此判断出作者想在第一段中展示迪斯尼乐园方便的环境。故选A项。

2.推理判断题。由第二段He spent years collecting ideas by visiting other places. He studied Beverly Park in Los Angeles, including rebuilt historic villages.可知，他花了几年的时间，通过参观其它地方来构建自己的想法。他研究了洛杉矶的贝弗利公园，包括重建历史村庄。所以为什么沃尔特·迪斯尼要去贝弗利公园等不同的地方是为了寻找建设公园的灵感。故选D项。

3.推理判断题。由第二段None of this happened by accident. He spent years collecting ideas by visiting other places. He studied Beverly Park in Los Angeles, including rebuilt historic villages.这些都不是偶然发生的，他花了几年的时间，通过参观其它地方来构建自己的想法。 他研究了洛杉矶的贝弗利公园，包括重建历史村庄。由此判断出，沃尔特·迪斯尼考虑很周全。第三段Some designers thought it was too far, but Disney went ahead.一些设计师认为这太不现实了，但沃尔特·迪斯却坚持了下去，由此判断出沃尔特·迪斯尼意志坚强。故选C项。

4.主旨大意题。通读全文可知，短文介绍了迪斯尼乐园内部是如何被沃尔特·迪斯尼设计和规划的。由最后一段The magic city had finally jumped off the drawing board and come into real life.这座神奇的城市终于从画板上跳了下来，走进了现实生活。所以短文的最佳标题为“迪斯尼乐园建得像一座崭新的城市”。故选B项。
