1．C　细节理解题。根据The Galpagos：Evolution in Action中的相关内容可知，达尔文称加拉帕戈斯群岛是一个微型世界，那里有世界上其他地方没有的野生动物物种。所以加拉帕戈斯群岛的野生动物是独一无二的。

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。作者在文中介绍了到以色列旅游的最佳时间和该国的气候特征。

1．A　句中的But是解题关键，前文提到很多人对以色列天气的某种看法，而But表示转折，说明人们的那种看法是不正确的，即与事实相差甚远。

2．B　句意：虽然以色列七月和八月的温热天气是出了名的，但它肯定不是一直都是这样的。surely意为“肯定”，在此处用来表明作者肯定的态度。

3．B　根据下文提到的北美和西欧可知，此处表示对比，指以色列的天气不同于(differs from)北美和西欧的天气。

4．C　此处表示在这里你大体上将经历两个不同的季节。experience意为“体验，经历”。

5．B　空前的next是解题关键，表示答案应该是前文提到过的事物，因此根据空前一句的“the busiest and most crowded months”可知，应该选B项。

6．C　上文提到了9月、10月和4月是旅游旺季，这三个月份都属于夏季，所以可推知冬季是游览的好时机，不拥挤。

7．B　根据空后“from 50 to 60 degrees F at night and 62 to 72 degrees F during the day”可知，这里指温度的范围，range意为“(在……范围内)变化”。

8．B　上一句提到有降雪的只有两个地区，因此本句的Tel Aviv也表示地区。此处表示Tel Aviv和其他沿海区域不降雪。area意为“区域，地区”。

9．C　根据句中的“experience snowfall when it does __10__”可知，来自沿海地区的人会蜂拥而至来体验降雪。crowd in“涌入”；come back“回来”；give up“放弃”；run away“逃跑”。

10．C　it指代snowfall，由此可知C项符合逻辑，指“当确实下雪的时候”。

11．C　由冬季的光秃秃的样子变为到处是绿色的景色，这里发生了美丽的变化。change意为“改变”。

12．D　根据常识可知，草木丛生(green popping up)应该是冬季雨水充足(the plentiful winter rain)的结果。

13．D　particularly意为“特别，尤其”，表程度的加强。此处指Golan和Galilee地区尤其由野花覆盖着。

14．D　“there’s really no ’bad’ time to visit Israel”是对整篇文章的总结。Overall，意为“总的来说”。

15．C　上文提到了冬季的时候游客较少，因此是旅游的淡季。

Ⅲ．语法填空　

(2023·广西百色高二期末)Are you crazy about travelling? Do you have the dream of1．________ (go) around the world? Have you ever failed in starting your journey for the reason of time and money? Come on!

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种特殊的旅游方式——通过阅读的方式周游世界，实现你的旅行之梦。

1．going　考查动名词。句意：你有环游世界的梦想吗？空前of为介词，后跟动名词作宾语。故填going。

2．an　考查冠词。此处表示泛指，指“给你自己一个实现梦想的机会”，应用不定冠词，且opportunity以元音音素开头，应用an。

3．which　考查定语从句。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，且从句中缺少主语，应用关系代词which指代整个主句的内容。

4．silence　考查名词。句意：即使是一个人，你也可以一边静静地思考，一边默默地享受你的旅行。根据空前介词in以及提示词silent可知，此处应用固定短语in silence“默默地”，故填silence。

5．in　考查介词。句意：由于对异国的生活和风景一直很感兴趣，到目前为止作者已游历了世界各地，从日本到尼泊尔，从印度到东帝汶以及从古巴到委内瑞拉，用自己的心灵欣赏了那些国家的独特之美。结合句意可知，表示“对……感兴趣”，应用固定短语be interested in，故填in。

6．has travelled　考查动词的时态及主谓一致。根据时间状语so far“到目前为止”可知，设空处应用现在完成时，主语为the author。故填has travelled。

7．countries　考查名词的数。country意为“国家”时为可数名词，空前有those修饰，应用其复数形式。故填countries。

8．amazed　考查形容词。句意：跟着我们，你会对这里的美景惊叹不已！结合句意可知，此处表示“对……感到惊讶”，应用固定短语be amazed at。

9．importantly　考查副词。此处作状语，修饰后面整个句子，应用副词importantly“重要地”。

10．to realize　考查动词不定式。句意：最重要的是，你永远都不应错过任何实现梦想的机会。分析句子结构可知，设空处及其后的成分在句中作后置定语，修饰名词opportunity，故用动词不定式。
