二、阅读理解

16.    Sydney is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and the 2000 Olympic Games put it on the map as one of the most lively and modern cities in the world. Any trip to Sydney is an adventure and with some of the world’s most beautiful beaches, this city has so much to offer. Sydney is so large an area that choosing a hotel is something you need to do very carefully. Public transport is good, but it can be slow and being close to where you want to be is probably the most important factor.

    The first and most obvious choice is hotels around Circular Quay. Circular Quay is the heart of the city and one of the major interchanges where trains, buses and ferries meet. It's also where Sydney's two most famous landmarks are located—the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. This area is active and offers some of the best views you will ever get from a hotel room.

    The farther hotels in the city are much more suited to business travellers and they are usually less expensive. Darling Harbour is a great choice as it mixes a great view with being right in the centre of the city. Darling Harbour has hundreds of pubs, clubs and restaurants along the water's edge.

    If you don't feel like dealing with the hustle and bustle of the city and are looking for someplace a bit quieter, why not head out to the Northern Beaches? It's only a short ferry ride over to Manly where you can find two major hotels on the beach with a number of smaller boutiques(时装店,精品店).

1. What made Sydney famous as one of the most lively and modern cities in the world?
A. Its traditional culture.  B. Its beaches and hotels.
C. The traffic system.  D. The 2000 Olympics.
2. If you want to live in a quiet hotel and buy some fashionable clothes or expensive gifts, you should choose one in _____.
A. Circular Quay  B. Darling Harbour
C. Manly  D. Sydney Harbour Bridge
3. The underlined part "hustle and bustle" in the last paragraph may refer to _____.
A. hot climate  B. serious pollution
C. busy noisy activities  D. slow-moving traffic

17.    Trip 1: Black Bear Count

答案以及解析

1.答案：politically

解析：考查副词。句意：这个国家在政治上取得了巨大的进步，但在经济上却没有。修饰动词，用副词形式。根据句意，故填politically.

2.答案：foundation

解析：考查名词。句意：这个组织被称为“Root Shoots”，因为根在地下缓慢移动，形成坚实的基础。firm是形容词，修饰名词，根据句意可知，空格处意为“基础”，名词是foundation，空前有a，空格处用单数，作宾语，故填foundation。

3.答案：in

解析：考查定语从句。句意：上周六晚上，我去了吴东的生日聚会，在那里我遇到了一个叫吉姆的外国人，句中先行词为Wu Dong's birthday party，在非限定性定语从句中作地点状语，所以用关系副词where引导，或者用介词in+which。故填in。

4.答案：which

解析：考查定语从句。句意：对抗世界贫困的更好方法是可行的，其中“绿色”农业被认为是第一选择，句中先行词为ways，在非限定性定语从句作介词among的宾语，所以用关系代词which引导。故填which。

5.答案：founder

解析：考查名词。句意：齐白石是中国现代艺术事业的奠基人，杰出的艺术家和艺术教育家。定冠词the后，介词of前接名词形式。根据句意，此处表示“奠基人”，应填名词founder。故填founder。

6.答案：whom

解析：考查定语从句。句意：他去听这位著名歌唱家的演唱，关于他我们已经听过很多故事了。此处为“介词+关系代词”结构非限制性定语从句修饰先行词singer，作介词的宾语，指人，故用whom。故填whom。

7.答案：listening

解析：考查省略。句意：她给了我一个安慰的微笑，一边耐心地听一边点头。while引导时间状语从句时，如果从句的主语和主句的主语相同，那么从句的主语和谓语动词be都可以省略，表示某个动作正在进行的同时，另一个动作也在进行之中。根据句意，故填listening。

8.答案：To save

解析：考查非谓语动词。句意:为了救那个溺水的儿童,那位男士毫不犹豫地跳进冰冷的水里。根据句意可知,此处应用不定式作目的状语。

9.答案：skilled

10.答案：convinced

11.答案：based

12.答案：in

13.答案：which

14.答案：amazing

15.答案：have never been

16.答案：1-3 DCC

解析：1.细节理解题。由第一段中的“...and the 2000 Olympic Games put it on the map as one of the most lively and modern cities in the world.”可知答案为D项。

2.由最后一段可知，要想找更安静的地方，那就去Manly,那里有许多时装店/精品店，自然可以买到“some fashionable clothes or expensive gifts”。

3.词义理解题。由最后一段中的“…and are looking for someplace a bit quieter…”可推知，“hustle and bustle”的意思应与quieter相反，故答案为C项。

17.答案：1-4 BCDD

解析：1.根据网站的名称以及三种不同的旅游活动所涉及的内容可知。

2.根据Trip 3中的“Many of the animals you will see on this trip can only be seen at night.”可知，这儿的许多动物白天睡觉，夜晚活动。
