Being a famous honeymooning spot and the 7th natural wonder of the world, it's no wonder that Niagara Falls tourism is still growing strong, year by year. Though it is most often trafficked by honeymooners and retirees, Niagara Falls is also a fantastic place for families and adventures to explore. But what is the best way to see the falls? You may want to try seeing the falls from a boat, like the Maid of the Mist which takes you right through the waters around all of the main attractions. This is a wet but enjoyable way to get" up-close and personal" with the falls. Another option of seeing Niagara Falls is through the elevator at Table Rock House. The elevator will drop you 151 feet through the rocks to an area where you’ll be able to view the falls from behind. If' you prefer not to get wet, you may want to try seeing the falls from the Skyline Tower Observation Deck No matter which way you choose to see the falls during the daytime, don't miss the chance to take a look at the falls at night In the evening, twenty-two spotlights illuminate the falls with a rainbow of colors. This light show takes place at different times all year round, so make sure you check the schedule before you go. Niagara Falls vacations don't have to always revolve around seeing the falls. There are so many other interesting places along the Niagara Parkway and within the town of Niagara Falls Canada that you might decide to stay an extra week to see them all. For a full view and adventure to remember, take the Whirlpool Aero Car across the Niagara Whirlpool. In this cable car, you can overlook a beautiful landscape and have a whole concept. Fruit farms, botanical gardens and a butterfly conservatory also make the list of off-the-beaten-path of Niagara Falls tourist spots. All of these can be found on the Niagara Parkway, and brochures can be found at any tourist booth

【Vocabulary】 illuminate:照明 rainbow 彩虹 cable car 纜車 conservatory 暖房 【 篇章導讀】 作為世界第七大奇跡的尼亞加拉瀑布,每年吸引著大量的游客。本文介紹了觀看瀑布的幾種方式和其他一些景致優美的旅游景點。 【答案解析】 1.D細節理解題。根據第二段的“This is a wet but enjoyable way to get 'up-close and personal' with the falls.”可知,人們坐船雖然會被淋濕,卻可以享受近距離觀看瀑布的樂趣。 2.A細節理解題。根據第四段“In the.evening,twenty-two spotlights illuminate the falls with a rainbow of colors.”可知,晚上在二十二盞照明燈的照耀下,尼亞加拉瀑布會出現彩虹般絢麗的色彩。因此,作者建議人們晚上去觀看瀑布,是因為照明燈使瀑布看上去更加奇幻。 3.C詞義推測題。根據后文“There are many other interesting places along the Niagara Parkway and within the town of Niagara Falls Canada,.”可知,還有很多其他有趣的地方可供游覽,前句應表示:在尼亞加拉瀑布休假,不必把精力都集中在看瀑布上。故畫線短語的意思應該是“集中在……”。 4.B細節理解題。根據倒數第二段“For full view and adventure to remember, take tire Whirlpool Aero Car across the Niagara Whirlpool.”可知乘坐纜車(Whirlpool Aero Car),人們可以看到尼亞加拉瀑布的全景。 障礙句分析This Light show takes place at different times all year round, so make sure you check the schedule before you go.每年會在不同時期有燈光展示,所以在你去之前,你要確保查一下時刻表。 注意介詞和連詞的作用:at,so,before。 |
