Sitting on the peaceful coast of Galapagos Islands. Ecuador, watching the sun move quietly into the sea, you shouldn‟t forget that Charles Darwin (1809-1882) arrived here in 1835. He stayed on the islands for five weeks, observing various animals. This finally inspired (啟發) his famous work, On the Origin of Species. You can certainly follow Darwin‟s footsteps and enjoy a trip from four to seven days to the islands. The islands are certainly a paradise (天堂) for wildlife, as there are no natural killers on the islands and the number of boats and visitors is under government control. Though you cannot walk freely as Darwin did about 200 years ago, each day is as impressive as it could be. The most well-known animals of the Galapagos is the giant tortoise(巨型海龜),which can be seen moving slowly around the highlands of Santa Cruz, the second largest island in the archipelago (群島). Some of these creatures are so old that they might have been in their youth by Darwin himself. Despite strict control over activities and timing, your stay on the Galapagos will be remembered as a chain of incomparable pictures; diving with sea lions that swim and play within inches of you; feeling small sharks touch your feet as you swim; and most magically, seeing a whale and her baby surface with a great breath of air. Travelling between the islands and observing the wildlife that so inspired Darwin, so you will feel as though you are getting a special view of an untouched world. At night you will sleep on board the ship, leaving the wildlife in complete occupation of the islands, which are as undisturbed now as they have been since the beginning of time. 1.

文章大意: 本文介紹了一個野生動物的樂園Galapagos Islands,達爾文曾在這兒受到啟發寫出了《物種起源》一書,盡管時間、數量受政府控制,但可以和動物密切接觸,由于這兒保護得很好,直到現在依然是旅游的好去處。
Key: 1.A。事實細節題。第一段第三句話告訴我們他在島上住了五周,觀察各種各樣的動物。這最終啟發了他寫出名著《物種起源》所以A項正確。排除了B項 “在島上完成了著名著作,只是受到啟發”;C項“被島上的地表特征所打動”,文中沒提到,和D項“被島上的動物迷住了”,與文中observing意思不相符。
2.C。事實細節題。文章第二段第一句話告訴我們島上沒有天敵,船和游客的數量都在政府控制中,盡管你不能像200年前的達爾文那樣隨意走動,但是每一天對你來說都會留下很深的印象。得出C項 “既人們不能隨便參觀這個島”。選項A “動物以草為食”,文中沒提到。選項B “政府禁止捕殺野生動物”與“there is no natural killer和船的數量受政府控制”不一致。D項與倒數第二段的內容不相符合。
3.C。倒數第二段告訴我們作為一系列無與倫比的畫面,你將永遠記住這一段時間與海豹,鯨魚和鯊魚的近距離接觸。所以C項正確。 4.A。主旨大意題。文章以島上的野生動物為主線來說這個地方的迷人之處和獨特的價值,從而體現了野生動物愛好者們的作用。所以選A “野生動物愛好者們的一個獨特的地方”。 |
