41、te位于；circle圈出；expand扩大。2A.pleases BorganizesCdraws Dbenefits答案C解析作为一个旅游胜地，“吸引”游客必为其制胜的功能，draw有“吸引”的意思。please使人满意；organize组织；benefit使人受益，三项均不合句意。3A.villages BforeignersCstudents Dlocals答案D解析此处考查游客的来源，要求较强的逻辑性。根据下文提到回避周末或者学校放假时间来观看，所以当地人利用周末来玩的可能性最大，选D。4A.shortest BbusiestClongest Dbiggest答案A解析周末和假期游客
42、多，等候的时间肯定要长，而这里特别指出了要回避这两个时间，为的是等候的时间短一些，故选A项。5A.time BweekCday Dyear答案D解析根据“the period”知，此处考查的是一个时间段，所以首先排除A；圣诞前后应该是一年中的一个时间段，不可能是一天或一周，所以也排除B、C。6A.leave BplanCarrive Dbook答案C解析该部分提示游客来访时尽量来得早点儿，避免在受欢迎的景点发生游客拥挤现象。leave(离开)，plan(计划)，book(预订)，都不符合句意，故选C项。7A.after BuntilCpast Dbefore答案D解析该题逻辑性强，为了避开拥挤
43、的时间段，以便有足够的时间自己游玩，所以应该提前一个小时到达，故选before，其他选项不合语境。8A.avoid BbuildCbreak Dcombine答案B解析提前一小时到达游乐园，是为了回避在最受欢迎的景点遇到游客拥挤的现象。before crowds build可指“在游客扎堆现象形成前”。avoid意为“回避”；break意为“破裂”；combine意为“结合；使联合”，均与句意不符，也不符合前面的逻辑。9A.sells BshowsCsends Dcollects答案A解析该段谈购票的问题。该句主语为迪斯尼乐园，为售票方，所以选A。show(出示；展览)；send(发送；派遣)
44、；collect(收集)，都不符合文意。10A.reserve BkeepCcopy Dprint答案D解析这里指迪斯尼乐园在网上售票，为了防止造假，应该是不允许游客在自己家里“print(打印)”。reserve和keep都有“储备，保存”的意思；copy(复制)，均不符合逻辑。11A.in advance Bin caseCin order Din turn 答案A解析订好的票需要邮寄给你，这需要一定的时日，所以要尽可能提前(in advance)预订。in case万一；in order有条理；in turn轮流，三项均不合句意。12A.ought BmustCwill Dmay答案D解
45、析此处需要一情态动词，意思吻合最关键，这里表示除了网上购票外，还“可以”通过其他途径购票，所以选may最合适。ought to应该；must必须；will将要，都不符合句意。13A.opened BreopenedCclosed Dreduced答案B解析根据下文“经过两年维修和重建”来看，此处需要“重新营业”这个意思，故A、C、D三项是错误的。14A.possibilities BchangesCdevelopments Deffects答案D解析possibility可能性；change变化；development进展，发展；三个单词在和show搭配时均不能体现维修的目的。此处谈Space
46、 Mountain两年维修的目的是为了提升show effect“展览的效果”，即它的可参观性。15A.when BsinceCas Dbecause of答案C解析此处建议带小朋友的游客尽量在早晨去Fantasyland，后面是提出该建议的理由，因为是比较明显的理由，所以用as。because of不能接句子；when引导时间状语从句；since是“既然”的意思。16A.unluckily BunexpectedlyCespecially Dnormally答案C解析上文提到有几个吸引游客的景点，此处专门提示其中最好的两个地方，所以用especially。unluckily不幸地；unexp
47、ectedly出乎意料地；normally正常地。17A.rows BwaitsCplaces Dpassages答案B解析此处指这个景点客容量较小，很容易出现游客扎堆现象，这样就很可能会等很长时间，所以用wait(名词，表示“等待的时间”)，且与上文吻合。18A.If not BIn a wordCAs a result DWhats more答案A解析此处需要一承上启下的转折，if not意为“如果不”，指如果不参观前面的景点，那么就。其他选项起不到此作用，in a word总而言之；as a result结果；whats more而且。19A.where BthatChow Dwhen答案D解析where引导地点状语从句；how一般表方式。这里是时间状语从句，在刚开门时，直奔Adventureland and New Orleans Square。20A.now BandCjust Dthen答案D解析最后一部分讲了参观各景点的顺序，最后一句为最后一处景点，所以用“then(然后)”最合适。
