五、阅读理解。
Classical Chinese gardens are purposely designed so that no matter where you stand, you can never see the whole thing at once. The mystery and the discovery have helped the classical gardens of China, especially those in Suzhou, remain popular attractions after all these years.
Put simply, the aim of a classical Chinese garden is to deepen one's admiration for nature. Besides just relaxing in nature, the classical Chinese gardens have another purpose—to inspire artistic expression like poetry, literature or painting. Nearly all Chinese gardens feature the things in the list below.
Water
Water is a necessary thing that no Chinese garden can go without. The water in a garden typically symbolizes a lake or even the ocean. Water can even symbolize communication, movement and dreams.
Rocks
Large rocks typically symbolize mountains. Many of the rocks in Suzhou gardens come from the Taihu Lake, having been shaped by the flow of water over thousands of years. Smaller rocks are often on show in the fancy halls at a garden's entrance. This shows the appreciation the garden owners had of these rocks.
Gates & Windows
Gates of different shapes divide different parts of a garden. The most common type of the gate, the moon gate, is simply a circle. Windows are placed throughout the garden to allow the passage of light. You can also catch a glimpse of interesting trees or rocks on the other side from the window.
Pavilions (亭)
In Chinese gardens, pavilions are usually placed in some of the best viewing places. Sometimes a pavilion is placed where one can see the reflection (倒影) of the moon at night, or in the best place to listen to the sound of rain on the leaves above. In the past, pavilions were also used as places for garden owners to reflect, paint and write poems.

五、1. C 【点拨】根据“Classical Chinese gardens are purposely designed... The mystery and the discovery have helped the classical gardens of China, especially those in Suzhou, remain popular attractions after all these years.”可知，无论人们站在哪里，都无法一下子看到整个园林，这使得中国古典园林，尤其是苏州的古典园林，多年来一直是受欢迎的景点。故画线单词 those 指代上文中提到的“classical gardens”。
2. A 【点拨】根据“You can also catch a glimpse of interesting trees or rocks on the other side from the window.”可知，人们可以从窗口瞥见另一边有趣的树木或岩石。画线单词 glimpse 意为“一瞥”，与 look 意思相近。
3. C 【点拨】通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了中国古典园林的特点和构成元素，以及人们在其中的体验，故“迷失在中国古典园林中”适合作为文章标题。

【分析】
这道阅读理解包含三类常见题型：指代判断题、词义猜测题、主旨大意题。解题时首先要带着题干关键词回原文定位：第1题指代题需要往前文找对应出现的复数名词，结合句意匹配指代对象；第2题词义猜测题要结合划线词所在句的场景逻辑，推断单词含义再匹配选项；第3题主旨大意题要先抓住全文核心话题，逐一排除偏离话题的干扰选项，选出最贴合全文内容的标题。
【解析】
1. 定位到第一段划线词所在句："The mystery and the discovery have helped the classical gardens of China, especially those in Suzhou, remain popular attractions after all these years."，句意是这种神秘感和探索感让中国的古典园林，尤其是苏州的那些，多年来一直是热门景点，显然这里的those指代前文提到的classical gardens，对应选项C。
2. 定位到Gates & Windows部分划线词所在句："You can also catch a glimpse of interesting trees or rocks on the other side from the window."，句意是你还可以从窗户那边____到另一侧有趣的树木和石头，结合场景逻辑，这里表达的是从窗户看过去的动作，glimpse意为一瞥，和表示“看”的look含义最接近，对应选项A。
3. 通读全文可知，文章核心围绕中国古典园林展开，介绍了它的设计特点、造园目的、水、石头、门窗、亭这些核心组成元素：选项A完全没有提到园林核心话题，选项B文中没有涉及西方园林的内容，选项D的现代艺术和建筑和原文内容无关，只有C选项“沉浸在中国古典园林中”贴合全文介绍中国古典园林的主题，对应选项C。
【答案】
1. C 2. A 3. C
