Question

【題目】National parks are large areas of public land. They give a safe home for local plants and animals. They help keep the air and water clean. They also give us the best trips. Today, there are nearly 7，000 national parks around the world. Forbes has listed 12 of the most beautiful ones in the world.

The Grand Canyon National Park of the US is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. It is best known for its size and depth. It is 446 kilometres long, up to 29 kilometres wide, and 1.6 kilometres deep. The immensity of the canyon makes people think big. Every year, about 5 million people visit here. Taking a tour in the South Rim offers visitors the park's full views, while the North Rim shows beautiful wild flowers.

If you love animals, you'll like the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. The “Big Five” live there. They are the lion, African elephant, African leopard(豹), black rhinoceros(犀牛) and African buffalo(水牛). The name “Big Five” came from the five animals that were the hardest to catch. Now they are what people most want to see in the wild. If you visit the park, you should never miss the migration(遷徙) of over 1.5 million wildebeest(角馬) and 250，000 zebras every year.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】A

【3】C

【4】D

【解析】

國家公園是大面積的公共用地，它們給當(dāng)?shù)氐闹参锖蛣游锾峁┝税踩�的居所。文章首段就介紹了國家公園的情況，第二段介紹了美國的國家大峽谷，第三段講了坦桑尼亞的塞倫蓋蒂國家公園。

【1】句意：根據(jù)第1段，關(guān)于國家公園哪一項是不對的？A.國家公園是覆蓋大面積的公共土地。B.野生植物和動物在國家公園得到保護(hù)。C.福布斯列出了世界上最大的十二個國家公園。D.國家公園因其自然美景而具有吸引力。原文“National parks are large areas of public land.”（國家公園是大面積的公共用地）說明A正確。原文“They give a safe home for local plants and animals.”（它們給當(dāng)?shù)氐闹参锖蛣游锾峁┝税踩�的居所）說明動植物在這里得到了保護(hù)，B正確。原文“Forbes has listed 12 of the most beautiful ones in the world”（福布斯列出了12個世界上最美麗的國家公園）說明列出的不是“最大的”公園，C錯誤。原文“Forbes has listed 12 of the most beautiful ones in the world that will surprise you with their amazing landscapes, geographic wonders and colourful plants and animals. ”（福布斯已經(jīng)列出了世界上最美麗的12個，它們將以驚人的風(fēng)景、地理奇觀和豐富多彩的植物和動物為您帶來驚喜。）說明國家公園確實因其美景具有很大吸引力，D正確，故選C。

【2】句意：句意：帶下劃線的“immensity”一詞是指巨大。A.巨大B.自然奇觀C.多彩的觀點D.不尋常的美。在這句話前面是“It is best known for its size and depth(深度). It is 446 kilometres long, up to 29 kilometres wide, and 1.6 kilometres deep.”（它以它的大小和深度最為人所知。它長446公里，寬29公里，深1.6公里。）說明這個峽谷是很大的，所以這里immensity可能的意思就是“巨大”，用來描述峽谷巨大的規(guī)模，故選A。

【3】句意：文章中提到了7種動物。A. 5 B. 6C. 7D. 8。最后一段是在描述動物，出現(xiàn)的動物有lion（獅子），African elephant（非洲象）, African leopard(美洲豹), black rhinoceros(黑犀牛) ，African buffalo(非洲水牛)，wildebeest(角馬)和zebras（斑馬），一共是7種動物，故選C。

【4】句意：句意：這篇文章的最佳標(biāo)題可能是“踏入野生動物的奇跡之地”。A.參觀大峽谷B.前往塞倫蓋蒂國家公園旅游C.世界七大自然奇觀D.踏入野生動物的奇跡之地，文章首段介紹了國家公園的情況，第二段介紹了美國的國家大峽谷，第三段講了坦桑尼亞的塞倫蓋蒂國家公園的動物，所以A和B標(biāo)題概括性不全，這篇文章也不是在說七大奇觀，C也不正確，所以D更有一定的概括性，這里的奇跡之地也就是野外的奇觀，是文章主要探討的主題，選D。
