請依下文回答第 41 題至第 45 題The story of Orlando’s stunning transformation from swamp and sinkhole to a metropolis began, inevitably, withWalt Disney and Mickey Mouse. Disney first flew over central Florida in an airplane on the fateful day of November 22,1963. The Kennedy assassination would mark America forever. So would the decision Walt Disney made that day to turnan inland Florida agricultural center into an epicenter of world tourism.Disney chose Orlando first because it was at the confluence of two of the most important thoroughfares, what todayare Interstate 4 and Florida’s Turnpike. Moreover, since Walt Disney’s original theme park—Disneyland, in southernCalifornia—covered fewer than 300 acres and was soon ringed with the suburban blight that its success inevitablyattracted—motels, strip malls, and copycat amusement parks, Disney hoped to rectify in Florida his mistake of notmaking Disneyland big enough. He set out to create a new, bigger, better Magic Kingdom. Here, arriving visitors wouldnot be permitted to choose their own parking spaces; smiling Disney characters would do that for them. Besides, water inthis Magic Kingdom could not be the tannic brown common in central Florida. So Bay Lake was drained, the sludgeremoved, and clear water pumped into the resulting lagoon. Even dry land would be turned into another Disney illusion:As you traverse the theme park, you are actually walking on the roof of an immense, underground control building fromwhich the operation is run, staffed, and supplied.代號:2301頁次:4-4
