Ⅰ.阅读理解 We spent the next three days based in Paihia，in the famous Bay of Islands.Although Paihia is only a town，it is a good base for exploring the northern part of the Northland.We spent one day nearby Waitangi，visiting the site of the first European settlements and signing of the Treaty of Waitangi，which created New Zealand as it is today. On the site，there is a fantastic museum which explains the history of the country，as well as the relationship between the European settlers and the native Maori tribes.There is also an excellent example of a Maori waka，or carved canoe，in which the original Maori tribes arrived in Aotearoa，or the Land of the Long White Cloud. It was a great introduction to New Zealand history and culture and would give us a good basis for understanding the Maori culture that we would meet with as we traveled through the country. The weather wasn’t fit for sailing through the blue，island-dotted bay，so the next day we headed across the point to the Kauri Coast and the Waipoa Kauri Forest to see the high Kauri trees，one of the few places in the country where these big trees that once covered the island still exist.Standing hundreds of feet high，with girths that would take 20 men to circle，these prehistoric (史前的) trees were used for everything from wakas to homes.Most were cut downnd where dinosaurs once walked. On the way back，we stopped in several small villages and towns，each of which seemed more Shire-like.We had almost forgotten that this was Lord of The Rings land，but in the rolling green hills of the central northland，we remembered that Bilbo Baggins and company could have lived here，too. 【解题导语】　本文讲述在派希亚旅行的所见所闻。 the Bay of Islands. 解析：选D。主旨大意题。纵观全Waitangi(第一段)(第二、三段)(第四段)以及回来路上的所见和所想(最后一段)。故A项和C项只是部分内容不全面；而B项太宽泛不具体。________has made New Zealand today.
