【解析】本文为一篇记叙文。文章通过讲述女王在旅途中发现美的故事告诉我们，如果我们学会享受世界，美丽无处不在。
1．句意：很久以前，有一位女王住在宫殿里。她感到很无聊。
这里形容人的情感用bored feel后面接形容词构成系表结构，不用比较级。
2.句意：我需要各种各样的美景。
A. beautiful 美丽，形容词 B. beautifully 美地，副词 C. beauty美，名词 D. beautify使。。。变美，动词。根据句意这里用名词。
3．句意：让大家知道我会举办一场评选世界上最美丽东西的比赛。
know知道；to know不定式；knowing分词或动名词；known过去分词。动词短语let sb. do“让某人做某事”，let为使役动词，所以用省to的动词不定式做宾补，所以空处用动词原形，故选A。
4．句意：奖品将会是这个皇冠。
is一般现在时；will助动词；will be一般将来时；was过去时。根据I will hold a competition...，可知奖品将会是这个皇冠，所以时态用一般将来时will do(be)，故选C。
5. 句意：很多人参加比赛。。
People 是可数名词只能用many或few修饰，few表示否定的意思。故答案选A
6．句意：你所寻找的东西不能带给你。
bring带来；brought过去式；be brought被带来；be bring形式错误。 主语“What you are looking for你所寻找的”和谓语动词“bring带来”逻辑上属于被动关系，且情态动词cannot之后用动词原形，故选C。
7．句意：你必须自己找。
you你，主格；yourself你自己，反身代词；your 你的……，形容词性物主动词；yours你的，名词性物主代词。by yourself靠你自己，你独自地，故选B。
8. 句意：去旅行如何？
A journey一个旅行，表示一类人或物，用不定冠词。
9．句意：女王对这个想法很感兴趣，所以她立即开始了。
in在……里面；at在……；for为了；with和。be interested in“对……感兴趣”，故选A。
10. 句意：女王对这个建议很感兴趣，所以她立即开始。
前后句子是因果关系，故用so，答案选C
11．句意：当她在宫殿附近的山顶上时，她低头一看，突然有什么东西在她的心里哭了起来。“为什么我从未发现我的宫殿如此美丽？”
Though尽管；If如果；So因此；When当……时候。根据句意可知，当她站在山顶往下看时，才发现自己的宫殿如此美丽，所以用when引导时间状语从句，故选D。
12. 句意：女王花了一年的时间旅行。
Spend 。。。doing 花。。。。（时间，金钱）做某事。故答案选D
8．句意：她仔细想了想。
thinks it of打算，想出；thinks it over仔细考虑；thought it over仔细考虑，过去时；think about it思考。本文讲述过去的一个故事，所以时态用一般过去时，故选C。
9．句意：她应该学会享受这个世界。
should应该；could能够；has to不得不；would想要，根据上文Suddenly, she understood beauty was everywhere.可知她发现美丽无处不在，她应该学会享受世界，故选A。
10．句意：她终于找到了最美丽的东西，那就是世界。
beautiful原级；more beautiful比较级；most beautiful最高级；the most beautiful最高级，根据上文Let everyone __2___ that I will hold a competition for the most beautiful thing in the world.可知女王想找世上最美丽的东西，所以用最高级，故选D。

AustraliaRemember that it's winter in Australia in July and August. The hottest months are from November to March. The best time to go is September or October. It's warm enough to go to the beach.
