作者讲述了从香港去阳朔旅游时的所见。

1．arrived [考查动词的时态。

主句谓语动词使用了过去进行时，根据语境此处要用一般过去时态。

]2．before/earlier [考查副词的用法。

由语境可知，几个小时之前我还在香港的家中，由此可知before/earlier符合句意。

]3．its [考查形容词性物主代词的用法。

空格后面有名词smog，故要使用形容词性物主代词。

]4．that/ which [考查定语从句关系代词的用法。

由句子结构不难判断这是一个定语从句。

先行词为指物的mountain tops and dark waters，关系词在从句中作主语，因此答案为that/ which。

]5．paintings [考查名词的复数。

“so many＋复数名词”为一常用短语。

]6．by [考查介词的固定用法。

根据句意可知，这只是驱车一小时的路程。

“by＋交通工具名词”为一固定短语。

]7．is [考查主谓一致和动词时态。

本段介绍阳朔的自然条件，属客观事实，要用一般现在时，由于主语是单数第三人称形式，因此答案为is。

]8．conducted [考查过去分词短语作后置定语的用法。

study与conduct之间为动宾关系，故用表示被动的过去分词形式。

此外，by是解题的关键词，conducted by...意为“由……所做的”。

]9．regularly [考查副词的用法。

该词修饰谓语动词arrange，故要用其副词形式。

] 10．living [考查现在分词短语作后置定语的用法。

由于live与其所修饰的名词people之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故用表示主动意义的现在分词形式。
