Popular Attractions in San Francisco

San Francisco is a famous city in northern California on America’s west coast.There are beautiful landmark sites such as the Golden Gate Bridge and winding Lombard Street.

Golden Gate Bridge

The Golden Gate Bridge is the symbol and landmark of San Francisco.The bridge spans the entire San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate,making it an important transportation hub linking San Francisco with cities to the north.Many US movies and TV shows have been filmed here.

Fisherman’s Wharf

Fisherman’s Wharf is a strip(狭长地带) extending from Ghirardelli Square all the way to Pier 35 and close to popular destinations such as Chinatown and Lombard Street.Famous sites such as the Alcatraz Island,the Golden Gate Bridge,and the Bay Bridge can also be sighted in the distance.This is home to a wealth of shops and restaurants and lively street shows can be seen everywhere.

Lombard Street

Lombard Street is so named for its multiple hairpin turns(急转弯).The 40 degree inclination(倾斜度) here poses a serious challenge to driving skills.The whole street is paved with bricks and lined on either side with foliage as well as multicolored flowers,offering diverse views all around the year.

Palace of Fine Arts

The San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts was originally built to display works of art for the Panama Pacific International Exposition in 1915,but was rebuilt in 1962.The lake and surrounding trees are also home to wildlife,such as ducks,birds and raccoons.On top of the dusky red stone pillars stand sculptures of nymphs,which are a favorite subject of many photographers.

Perhaps thousands of people have searched for a bronze chest full of gold and jewels hidden in the Rocky Mountains between Santa Fe and the Canadian border hidden by a millionaire adventurer.At least four people died in their search for the treasure.

But it’s all over now.Fenn’s Treasure has been found.The 89-year-old adventurer named Forrest Fenn,who created the treasure hunt,announced the news via his website.“I don’t know the person who found it,but the poem in my book led him to the precise spot,” Fenn wrote.“The treasure was confirmed by a photograph the lucky finder sent me.”

Forrest Fenn,the man who started the hunt,lives in Santa Fe.He was a pilot in the Vietnam War and later accumulated his wealth as a dealer in art and antiques.Fenn was diagnosed(诊断) with cancer in 1988 and had planned to die peacefully in the woods with his treasure.But when his cancer became less serious,he changed his plan,eventually writing the poem that described his dream resting place,which is where he hid the treasure.The poem appeared in a memoir called The Thrill of the Chase.Fenn said that the chest wouldn’t be found by accident;only a treasure hunter who correctly interpreted the clues would find it.

Several treasure hunters went missing while attempting to find the chest,including hunter Jeff Murphy and Mike Petersen,both of whom went missing in Yellowstone National Park in 2017.Fenn said that he had never been to the Yellowstone National Park,and that the treasure was not in a dangerous place.“It was in the thick forest of the Rocky Mountains and had not been moved from the spot where I hid it more than 10 years ago,” Fenn wrote on his website.It is illegal to remove anything from a national park,which would cause trouble in legally claiming the treasure if it was found there.

4.What contributed to the finding of the treasure?

A Fenn’s announcement.

B.A poem in Fenn’s book.

C.Fenn’s vivid description.

D.A photo on Fenn’s website.

5.What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A.Who Forrest Fenn was.

B.Where Fenn hid the treasure.

C.How the treasure hunt began.

D.What Fenn did to find the treasure.

6.What can we learn about “Fenn’s Treasure”?

B.It was found by someone by chance.

C.It was moved from one place to another.

D.It was in Fenn’s chosen resting place.

7.What does the underlined word “claiming” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A.Taking.　　　　B.Burying

C.Protecting. D.Acknowledging.

C

The alarm went off about half an hour ago,the second time tonight.It’s somewhat difficult to figure out the rules for sure.Here,one bell means “elephant”,two,“rhino(犀牛)”,and three and four,I really can’t remember for what,because when you’re awoken by bells in the middle of the night,your first thought won’t be any “animal”!But as soon as I realized it was the rhino alarm,I was running for the stairs.

A baby African buffalo(水牛) and a baby rhino stood a couple feet apart,staring at each other.Behind them,their mothers were looking on with the kind of indifference of mothers everywhere who see their kids playing a harmless game.Of course,I was the only one watching the animals stare down.Either everyone else died of a heart attack when the bells went off,or I was the only one in the entire hotel who didn’t turn the alarm switch off before going to bed.

The Ark(方舟),a hotel shaped like the ark in the Bible,lies in the highlands of Kenya’s Aberdare National Park,about 100 kilometers north of Nairobi.At the Ark’s prow(船首) are huge windows overlooking a waterhole.Earlier tonight,I’d watched a pack of wolves,buffaloes and elephants.And now,at three or so in the morning,I’m down for rhino bells.The first time,2.5 hours ago,it was a single black rhino,which came down,got a drink,and left.

I’d have been sorry for the lost sleep.I’ve already arranged with a guide to take me out at sunrise for the so-called “should-never-miss” bird-watching,where we’ll get to see 30 species,but really,how many times in your life will you get to wake up and say,“Wow!Rhino!”?Isn’t that the definition of a pretty good night?Last week we went from Uganda into Kenya.Before I left home,I thought I’d be happy with ten elephants and five or six giraffes on the whole trip.I didn’t dare to dream the rhino.

8.What do we know about the message that the hotel’s bells sent?

A.It was significant for visitors to avoid danger.

B.It was a matter that all visitors had got used to.

C.It was hard for the author to remember in detail.

D.It was a wise alarm the author had never heard of.

9.What did the author see at about 3:00 am?

A.Rhinos and buffaloes were fighting for water.

B.A rhino and a buffalo were staring at each other.

C.A buffalo was watching its baby play with rhinos.

D.A boat-shaped hotel was overlooking a waterhole.

10.What can we learn from the passage?

A.The author likes all the animals.

B.The author is only interested in rhinos.

C.There are various wild animals near the Ark.

D.The author didn’t sleep well during the whole trip.

11.What’s probably the author’s attitude towards the bell?

A.It should be turned off when it rings.

B.It’s bothering but rewarding.

C.It is a bad way to wake the guests up.

D.It brings visitors a chance to see buffaloes.

Ⅳ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。旧金山是美国西海岸加利福尼亚州北部的一个著名城市。文章主要介绍了旧金山的四个热门景点以及它们各自的特色。

1.D　细节理解题。根据Golden Gate Bridge部分中的“Many US movies and TV shows have been filmed here.”可知,许多美国电影和电视节目都在这里拍摄。所以,如果游客是影迷,他们应该去金门大桥。故选D项。

2.C　细节理解题。根据Lombard Street部分中的“Lombard Street is so named for its multiple hairpin turns.”可知,Lombard Street因它的多个急转弯而得名。故选C项。

3.A　细节理解题。根据Palace of Fine Arts部分中的“On top of the dusky red stone pillars stand sculptures of nymphs,which are a favorite subject of many photographers.”可知,在暗红色的石柱顶部矗立着仙女的雕塑,这是许多摄影师最喜欢的题材。由此可知,游客可以在艺术宫给雕塑拍照。故选A项。

【语篇导读】 本文是一篇记叙文。众多寻宝人寻找多年的宝藏最终被找到了,藏宝人Fenn通过自己的网页发布了这个消息。

4.B　细节理解题。由第二段中的“I don’t know the person who found it,but the poem in my book led him to the precise spot”可知,是Fenn书里面的一首诗促成了宝藏的发现,故选B项。

5.C　段落大意题。根据第三段中的“Forrest Fenn,the man who started the hunt,lives in Santa Fe.He was a pilot in the Vietnam War and later accumulated his wealth as a dealer in art and antiques.”以及最后一句“Fenn said that the chest wouldn’t be found by accident;only a treasure hunter who correctly interpreted the clues would find it.”可知,本段主要讲述了Forrest Fenn的个人经历及他是如何把宝藏隐藏起来让别人寻找的,故选C项。

6.D　细节理解题。由第三段中的“But when his cancer became less serious,he changed his plan,eventually writing the poem that described his dream resting place,which is where he hid the treasure.”可知,Fenn的宝藏在他选择的安息之所,因此D项正确。

7.A　词义猜测题。由画线词前文“It is illegal to remove anything from a national park”可知,从国家公园带走任何东西都是违法的,因此“which would cause trouble in legally claiming the treasure if it was found there”这一部分应表示“如果宝藏在国家公园被发现的话,想要合法地带走宝藏就会引起不少麻烦”,由此可知画线词意为“带走,拿走”,故选A项。

【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者到肯尼亚度假,住在方舟宾馆里,这个宾馆的附近有很多的野生动物。半夜的时候作者被铃声吵醒了,就此展开了描述。

8.C　细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“Here,one bell means ‘elephant’,two,‘rhino’,and three and four,I really can’t remember for what,because when you’re awoken by bells in the middle of the night,your first thought won’t be any ‘animal’!”可知,一声铃声意味着“大象”,两声意味着“犀牛”,三声、四声的含义作者不记得是什么了,因为半夜被铃声惊醒时,人的第一反应不会是“动物”。由此可知,作者不记得铃声的具体含义了。故选C项。

9.B　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“A baby African buffalo and a baby rhino stood a couple feet apart,staring at each other.”可知,一头非洲水牛幼崽和一头犀牛幼崽站在离彼此几英尺远的地方盯着对方;结合第三段第四句“And now,at three or so in the morning,I’m down for rhino bells.”可知,现在,大概凌晨三点,听到犀牛铃声,“我”下楼去了。所以在凌晨三点左右,作者看到一头犀牛幼崽和一头水牛幼崽盯着彼此。故选B项。

10.C　推理判断题。根据第三段第三句“Earlier tonight,I’d watched a pack of wolves,buffaloes and elephants.”可知,今晚早些时候,“我”看到了一群狼、水牛和大象。再结合全文内容,比如对铃声的含义的描述、作者被铃声叫醒后看到的景象等,可以推断出,宾馆的周围有很多野生动物。因此,C项“方舟(宾馆)附近有各种各样的野生动物”符合以上说法。

11.B　推理判断题。由第一段的描述尤其是其中的“when you’re awoken by bells in the middle of the night,your first thought won’t be any ‘animal’”可推断出,作者最开始对铃声感觉很恼火;再根据最后一段中的“how many times in your life will you get to wake up and say,‘Wow!Rhino!’?Isn’t that the definition of a pretty good night?”可知,作者一开始觉得铃声很烦人,但后来觉得因为铃声他收获了很多。所以B项“它烦人但是值得”符合语境。
