Question

【题目】阅读理解The World's Coolest Places
There's nothing wrong with a relaxing week at the beach. But travel can also be an education, a step toward empathy(共鸣) and international understanding, so for those longing to escape the crowds this summer, encounter new worlds and return with a tale, here're a few little-known travel destinations I recommend.

⒈Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands. This coral island in the Pacific Ocean, site of nuclear weapons tests decades ago, is now brilliantly beautiful and the deserted white-sand beaches are lined with coconut palms and scattered with seashells. The island is a reminder of the redemptive(救赎的) power of time and nature.
⒉Potosi, Bolivia. No city in Latin America is more beautiful than Potosi, Bolivia, where Europeans discovered a huge silver mountain centuries ago. Tourists can descend(下降) the silver mines to experience extremely hot and dusty tunnels, talk to the miners, get a glimpse of life image for Bolivians there and have new empathy for the miners.
⒊Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Maybe our family start at Victoria Falls, which wets you with spray, making Niagara Falls a backyard stream. Then we rent a car and make our way to Hwange National Park, empty of people but crowded with various animals. Zimbabwe has fewer tourists than South Africa, and there's less crime as well.
⒋Amritsar, India. The Golden Temple, Sikhism's holiest shrine(神殿), is a delightful place to contemplate the draw of faith. A four-century-old temple set in a lake attracts Sikhs(锡克教徒) worldwide. Walking the circuit of the lake, with your head covered, and putting up in temple buildings can be a full experience.

（1）If you want to experience the hardship of the miners, you should choose to visit.
A.Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands
B.Potosi, Bolivia
C.Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe
D.Amritsar, India
（2）Bikini Atoll is different from other attractions recommended by the author in that.
A.it is famous for its natural scenery
B.it is in the Pacific Ocean
C.it is well-known for its silver mines
D.it is related to religion
（3）Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?
A.Victoria Falls are in Hwange National Park
B.The Golden Temple is a holy place for Sikhs
C.Tourists can have new empathy for silver miners in Potosi
D.Tourists can enjoy themselves on white-sand beaches in Bikini Atoll

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）B
（2）B
（3）A
【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了世界上四个最酷的地方。
（1）考查细节理解。根据2.Potosi, Bolivia部分中的”Tourists can descend(下降) the silver mines to experience extremely hot and dusty tunnels, talk to the miners, get a glimpse of life image for Bolivians there and have new empathy for the miners.“可知如果你想体验矿工的艰苦生活，你可以拜访Potosi, Bolivia。故选B。
（2）考查细节理解。根据1.Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands.部分中的”This coral island in the Pacific Ocean, site of nuclear weapons tests decades ago, is now brilliantly beautiful and the deserted white-sand beaches are lined with coconut palms and scattered with seashells.“可知Bikini Atoll不同于其他景点在于它在太平洋里。故选B。
（3）考查推理判断。根据3.Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.部分中的”Maybe our family start at Victoria Falls, which wets you with spray, making Niagara Falls a backyard stream. Then we rent a car and make our way to Hwange National Park,“由此可知Victoria Falls不在Hwange National Park，所以A是错误的。
