本文属于说明文。作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了迪斯尼乐园的起源和它的发展历史。
1.B 根据后文“The concept of Disneyland began when Walt Disney was visiting an amusement park in Los Angeles with his daughters.While watching them ride the merry-go-round(旋转木马),he came up with the idea of a place where adults and their children could go and have fun together…”可知没有多少人知道迪斯尼乐园的起源,所以选 B 项。
2.C 根据后文“Disney bought a 160-acre site near Anaheim in 1953.Construction began on July 16,1954.Studio employees worked on the project,paid from Disney’s personal funds.”可知他很快意识到当时设想的地方太小了,所以选 C 项。
3.A 根据后文“A guess list of 15,000 swelled to almost 30,000.Traffic was delayed on the two-lane Harbour Boulevard.Famous figures that were scheduled to show up every two hours appeared all at once.”可知开幕日成了一场灾难,因为来的人太多了,所以选 A 项。
4.G 根据前文对糟糕情况的描述及后文“After the extremely negative press from the preview(预演) opening,Walt Disney invited guests back for a private ‘second day’ to experience Disneyland properly.”可知,此处指大多数评论家说迪斯尼乐园管理不善,预测其历史很快会结束,故选G 项。
5.E 根据前文“In order to avoid overcrowding,Walt and his staff began to limit daily attendance to 20,000.”及空后一句可知,这里指“七周内,第一百万位客人顺利通过了大门”,E 项承上启下,故选 E 项。
