5、，此后，在美国和海外又陆续开了5家。2005年9月12日，香港迪士尼乐园成为中国第一座迪士尼主题公园，而迪士尼公司已落实计划在中国上海市川沙镇建设另一个主题公园。截止2010年3月，美国加利福尼亚州、佛罗里达州、法国巴黎、日本东京、香港5处地方建有迪士尼乐园。资格最老的是加州的洛杉矶迪士尼乐园，建成于1955年。1971年，耗时十年的佛罗里达州迪士尼建成；1983年，东京迪士尼乐园建成（2001年，扩建的海上乐园完成，耗资3380亿日元）；1992年，巴黎迪士尼乐园建成，耗资440亿美元。在五大乐园中，位于美国佛罗里达州奥兰多的迪士尼面积最大；香港迪士尼乐园最小仅为佛罗里达州的百分之一。论规模
6、，美国佛州的奥兰多最大，分“动物王国”、“魔幻影城”、“科幻天地”和“梦幻世界”4个主题乐园，还有2个水上乐园，全部玩下来，最少要5天。多莉山主题公园（Dollywood)，坐落在美国田纳西州的皮格佛格，是美国乡村乐坛有史以来最富创造力的著名歌手-多莉帕顿于1986年在自己的家乡田纳西收购了一家衰败的、古老的公园，并在此基础上创建了这个主题公园。主题公园是面向家庭的游乐园，不但有现代化的娱乐项目设施，还有特色手工工艺品、家具、服装店铺数十家；从比比皆是的斯特拉小姐的手浸CORNDOGS、点心到各种风味餐厅；遍布园里的让步站提供漏斗蛋糕、饮料、玉米等服务项目；古老的铁匠铺、玻璃制作作坊、木雕店，

8、公园环境优美，具有田园风光的气息。这是英国一片充满幻想的土地。亚瑟王（英语：King Arthur、全名：亚瑟潘德拉根）是英格兰传说中的国王，也是凯尔特英雄谱中最受欢迎的圆桌骑士团的骑士首领，一位近乎神话般的传奇人物。亚瑟王和他的圆桌骑士亚瑟王和他的圆桌骑士在不列颠群岛，乃至整个西方世界，最令人神往的传说之一便是亚瑟王和他的圆桌骑士。在英国人心目中，亚瑟王和圆桌骑士是正义与希望的象征。在那个野蛮黑暗的年代，正是这群英雄以勇敢和坚强驱逐了强敌，带领不列颠人寻找到光明，使群岛各部归于统一。圆桌骑士是一群为友情和正义而战的勇士，他们和亚瑟王亲如兄弟，誓死相随。亚瑟王（King Arthur）迎娶桂尼
9、维亚皇后（Queen Guinivere）时岳父赠予了他一张可容50人（一说150人）的圆桌，这张圆桌被称作温切斯特圆桌（The Winchester Round Table）。此后每年，亚瑟都会将最信任的骑士们聚集到卡米洛特城堡，与他们同坐圆桌共商要事。亚瑟王之所以选择了圆桌，是因为圆桌象征着友爱与平等。他将这些最信任的骑士们视同手足，可以与自己平起平坐。因此，任何在圆桌就坐的骑士都不会觉得地位低于别人，也就不会觉得委屈。从公元一世纪开始，不列颠长期处于罗马帝国的压迫下。公元500年左右，作为日耳曼人一支的萨克森人又大举入侵，烧杀抢掠。亚瑟王和圆桌骑士率领不列颠人民奋起反抗，最终在巴顿山之役
10、的交战中一举击溃敌军，将所有外来入侵者驱逐出英伦。之后他们又统一各部，为大英帝国后来的辉煌奠定了基础。在圆桌骑士中，有大名鼎鼎的兰斯洛特、高文、凯伊等人，后来英国乃至欧洲的骑士们都将他们视为楷模。时至今日，“圆桌骑士”已不再仅仅是一个历史名词，而成为“英勇”、“忠诚”和“信任”的代名词。这群骑士们的故事，以成传奇。Main idea of the passageWhat is the purpose of building theme parks?A.To amuse peopleB.To make a profitC.To educate peopleD.All of the aboveSk
