　　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 a 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 steps 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.

答案： 4. B 细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，华特·迪士尼带两个女儿去公园玩，女儿在玩旋转木马的时候他突发奇想，产生了建造迪士尼乐园以供孩子和他们的父母玩乐的灵感。故选B。
5. D 细节理解题。根据第三段的第二句中的“Considering population growth and the future freeway construction”可知，迪士尼乐园位置的选择主要考虑了人口的增长和本地的交通。故选D。
易错归因
本题易误选C项，因为第二段谈到“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.”，但是这里指的是“Walt's original plan(华特最初的计划)”，不是最终的选址，所以不作为参考线索。
6. A 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句可知，华特监督着公园的建设，除了几次小停顿外，工程仍在继续。最后，公园在1955年7月17日为开幕日做好了准备。故推知，总的来说施工过程还算顺利。故选A。
易错归因
本题易误选B项，因为第二段提到“Those plans were put on hold because of the start of World War II.”，但要注意这里指的是“Those plans”，二战影响的是计划，而不是真正的建造过程。
7. C 推理判断题。第一段第一句“There is a famous story about how Walt Disney was inspired to build Disneyland.”提到有一个著名的关于华特·迪士尼是如何受到启发建造迪士尼乐园的故事;中间几段介绍了迪士尼乐园从构思到建造的过程;最后一段最后一句“Finally, the park was ready for the opening day on July 17, 1955.”指出，公园在1955年7月17日为开幕日做好了准备。以上信息告诉我们，本文在讲述华特·迪士尼建造迪士尼乐园的过程，属于人物故事类的文章，故推知，文章很可能出现在杂志上的人物介绍版面。故选C。
