A trail of hot springs dot the northern Kapong District. For tree worshipers, it's a site best described as awesome. Visitors can enjoy the ancient hot springs, 【1】 (understand) their therapeutic properties from knowledge 【2】 (pass) down from one generation to another. Rain, drizzle and cloudy skies are typical in Phang Nga, making secluded places even more mesmerizing in scenery.

Visit Phang Nga for a few days and you will immediately realise that once 【3】 (overlook) things turn out to be hidden gems and one 【4】 have planned for more time to enjoy them all.

You can’t pick the best weather, 【6】 even on partly cloudy days, the magnificent natural limestone structures of the bay is simply spectacular.

If you've heard about the trading routes of the Thai south and the Malay peninsula, you will notice a remnant of this direct link between Phuket (普吉) and Phang Nga (攀牙). 【7】 the major trading hub of Phang Nga in the old days, the district of Takua Pa boasts a small but untainted stretch of an old Sino-English community. These original century-old shophouses are “so authentic” here a local told me, it can overwhelm Phuket people with nostalgia.

However, the town centre of Phang Nga is not Takua Pa, though. The story has it 【8】 back in 1809, the Siam-Burmese wars drove people down to Phang Nga bay，hence the new settlement that has now become the province's municipal seat. It's still small in size, but with newer natural charms. Mountains 【9】 (surround) Phang Nga with the most magnificent limestone peaks 【10】 create wonderfully amazing signature views. Driving through the town's small parallel streets and looking up, one can only marvel at Mother Nature. Perpetual rain and misty mornings to virtual greenness --- Phang Nga people will ensure you get all that.

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文，介绍了泰国风景胜地攀牙湾的历史和壮美景观。

【1】考查非谓语动词。句意：游客可以享受古老的温泉，从一代代相传的知识中了解它们的治疗作用。Visitors与understand之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，表示主动，用现在分词作伴随状语，故填understanding。

【2】考查非谓语动词。句意同上，knowledge 与pass down之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，表示被动，用过去分词作后置定语，故填passed。

【3】考查非谓语动词。句意：去攀牙玩几天，你会立刻意识到，那些被忽视的东西原来是隐藏的珍宝，你本应该计划更多的时间来享受它们。overlook与 things是逻辑上的动宾关系，表示被动，用过去分词作定语，故填overlooked。

【4】考查情态动词+have done结构。句意同上，should have done表示“本应该做而没有做”，故填should。

【5】考查非谓语动词。事实上，著名的攀牙湾最好的观赏地点不是在海湾中央，而是在地势较高的萨米德南芝海岸。shores与elevate之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，表示被动，用过去分词作定语，故填elevated。

【6】考查连词。句意：你不能选择最好的天气，但即使在多云的日子里，海湾壮观的天然石灰岩结构也是非常壮观的。根据句意可知前后是转折关系，故填but。

【7】考查介词。句意：在过去，作为攀牙的主要贸易中心，塔瓜帕区拥有一个小而干净的古老的中英社区。根据句意可知此处表示“作为”，故填As。

【8】考查同位语从句。句意：据说早在1809年，暹罗和缅甸之间的战争就把人们赶到了攀牙湾。此处为同位语从句，解释story的具体内容，从句成分完整，用that仅起连接作用，无实义，故填that。

【9】考查时态和主谓一致。句意：群山环绕着攀牙，那些最壮丽的石灰岩山峰形成了令人惊叹的独特景观。陈述的是客观事实用一般现在时，主语是Mountains，谓语动词用复数，故填surround。

【10】考查定语从句。先行词为limestone peaks，其前有形容词最高级the most magnificent修饰，关系代词用that而不用which，故填that。
