The Hangzhou Xixi National Wetland Park in China’s Zhejiang Province, founded in 2005, is the country’s first national wetland park. Situated in the western part of Hangzhou, Xixi is only 5 kilometers away from the West Lake, a renowned UNESCO World Heritage site in the city.
Water is the soul of Xixi.With an area of 11.5 square kilometers, the park is mostly covered by streams, ponds, lakes and swamps, with six long rivers forming an enormous network of waterways. Up to 70 percent of the park is water and the length of waterways inside the park surpasses 100 kilometers.
Additionally, about 85 percent of the land in Xixi is covered by plants such as reeds(芦苇), willows and persimmon trees and a variety of wildlife is living among them, making Xixi a superb platform for animal and bird watching, scientific research and education.
Because of its rich water resources and species, Xixi Wetland is an important part of Hangzhou’s ecosystem and helps purify(净化)water, relieve flooding, regulate the climate and maintain biodiversity. Located in an urban area of the city, it is called “the natural purifier of Hangzhou”.
As well as providing a place for people to enjoy the region’s natural charm, Xixi Wetland is also a cultural treasure which has been described and extolled by scholars throughout history.
Xixi was a land of beauty and a place of seclusion(隐居) in the eyes of ancient people. Inspired by the elegance of Xixi, many literati—including Su Dongpo, Tang Bohu, Dong Qichang and Yu Dafu —created numerous literary works about the place. Some of them are displayed on the inscribed boards and tablets dotted throughout the wetland park.
Xixi Wetland was not quite so well-known to people until the famous Chinese film director Feng Xiaogang used it as a backdrop for part of his 2008 film If You Are the One, adding the wetland to the list of must-visit tourist attractions in Hangzhou.
Today, the undeveloped scenery, the rustic (淳朴的) charm of a country lifestyle and the ancient traditions of Xixi appeal to tourists from around the world.

There is a famous story about how Walt Disney was inspired to build Disneyland. The story goes that during an afternoon visit to Griffith Park located near the Burbank Studios, Walt took a seat while his two young daughters rode the merry-go-round. Walt thought there should be an amusement place where both children and their parents could enjoy spending some time together in an environment that would be both entertaining and pleasing to the eye, so with this thought came the idea for Disneyland.
Walt’s original plan was to build an eight-acre park located near the Burbank Studios that would be a place for his employees and their families. Those plans were put on hold because of the start of World War Ⅱ. By 1952, Walt had created a special department that was devoted to planning his dream.
Finally in 1953, the first stTIF in building the park happened when Walt employed the Stanford Research Institute to make a survey to determine the best possible location for the future park. Considering population growth and the future freeway construction, they finally found a location in Anaheim and 160 acres of land were bought for the site of the new park.
The building of the park was very expensive and to collect money for the project, Walt developed the idea of the “Walt Disney’s Disneyland” television show. It turned out to be a splendid idea—not only gaining the money to build the park but also presenting the park to the American public.
Construction officially began on July 21, 1954, and it was an ambitious (野心勃勃的) building schedule of less than one year to complete the new park for the projected opening day. Walt watched over the park’s construction and progress continued with just a few minor hold-ups. Finally, the park was ready for the opening day on July 17, 1955.
5.What inspired Walt Disney to build Disneyland?
A.The special design of Griffith Park. B.A trip to a park with his daughters.
C.Requests from his family and employees. D.The idea of building a park for his daughters.
6.What is mainly considered in choosing the location of Disneyland?
A.Walt Disney’s personal preference. B.The natural environment.
C.Walt Disney’s employees and their families. D.Local traffic.
7.Where is the text most likely from?
A.A travel journal. B.An autobiography.
C.A magazine. D.A guidebook.
8.What can we learn about the construction process?
A.It was generally smooth. B.It was affected by World War Ⅱ.
C.It was completed later than expected. D.It was influenced by a shortage of money.

5.vastly 考查副词。设空处位于情态动词would 和实义动词influence 之间,故填副词vastly 作状语,表示“极其,非常”。句意:这种潜在的转变有一个决定性因素,它将极大地影响人类适应新环境的速度。
6.with 考查介词。be blessed with意为“享有(幸福等);赋有(能力等)”。故填with。句意:我的祖父母身体很好,是一种福气,他们将会继续在日常生活中锻炼身体。
7.to change 考查不定式。set out to do sth.意为“开始做某事”。句意:它被教授给艺术家和工程师,但很少被教授给科学家。Crystal着手改变那个情况,并帮助创建了一场全球运动。知识拓展 set out to do sth.=set about doing sth.开始做某事。注意set后的词不同,后面非谓语动词的形式也随之不同。
8.is banned 考查动词的时态、语态及主谓一致。句意:在寒食节这一天,火的使用是被禁止的,人们只能吃冷食以纪念介子推。该句描述的是节日习俗,应用一般现在时;the use of fire与ban之间为被动关系,应使用被动语态。主语是单数形式,故填is banned。注意ban的过去分词需要双写n加-ed。
9.Naming 考查动名词作主语。根据后面的动词creates可知,“ (name) each nature experience”作主语。句意:命名每一种自然体验都会创造一种可用的语言,这有助于人们认识和参与对他们来说最满意和最有意义的活动。设空处表示泛指的、一般的行为,所以应用动名词作主语。设空处位于句首,首字母需要大写,故填Naming。

Ⅰ.1.brightly 考查副词。分析句子可知,设空处修饰Although引导的让步状语从句中的谓语动词,所以应用副词作状语。故填brightly。
2.it 考查代词。分析句子结构可知,此处是固定句型It is+adj.+for sb.+to do sth.,此处表示“对我来说,分清这是早上还是晚上是不可能的”,由此可知,后面的不定式短语作的是真正的主语,所以此处应用it作形式主语。
3.where 考查定语从句。设空处无提示词且前面有逗号,逗号前面是一个完整的句子,此处表示“我在北极圈的上方,在那里,夏天太阳永不落下”,由此可知,设空处引导的是非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词“the Arctic Circle”,关系词在从句中作地点状语,故应用关系副词where。
4.is banned 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子成分可知,设空处作and前一分句的谓语,由Today和and后一分句的时态可知此处应用一般现在时,此处表示“公园边界内的所有新的开发都被禁止”,句中“development”和“ban”之间为被动关系,故应用一般现在时的被动语态,“development”为不可数名词,故填is banned。
5.traditional 考查形容词。分析句子可知,“way”为名词,前面应用形容词修饰,“tradition”为名词,对应的形容词为“traditional”,意为“传统的”。故填traditional。

10.but 考查连词。句意:我不是萨米人,但在萨勒克我已经养成了他们的一些习惯。根据句子成分和句意可知,此处应用连词but。
Ⅱ.语篇解读 这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了中国首批国家公园之一——武夷山国家公园。

8.where 考查定语从句。设空处无提示词,且前面有逗号,逗号前面部分内容完整,结合语境可知,“you can stop to admire the breathtaking and incredible beauty of mountains, waterfalls, and lakes around”的地点在“viewing platforms”,所以设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为表示地点的“viewing platforms”,设空处在从句中作地点状语,故填where。
