Question

【题目】 The Gold Coast family holidays are always great fun whether you are from Australia or from abroad. There are beautiful beaches, adventure parks, nature parks and so much more.

There are so many sights to see here. It is a pity to drive in a car and you’ll miss a great part of it. Australia is home to many animals and birds that can only be seen when moving slowly and going into the areas where they live.

When you are on a bicycle, you have the strength of being able to stop whenever you want to see an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before. It is a quieter way of transportation as well, so you might even be able to take a picture. When you are on the beach, you can breathe that clean air and view the beauty of the water and sand. It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car.

There are many choices of hiring a bicycle to experience the Gold Coast attractions. There are stores that will fit a bike perfectly to your size. These bikes for both adults and children are in many styles and colors to please any taste. If you have ever wanted to try a tandem bike (双人单车), now is your chance, because they have those too.

A bicycle hire on Gold Coast is something that everyone should try at least once. This is a wonderful chance for anyone who likes to cycle and it is also a cheap way to travel with your family.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】D

【3】A

【4】B

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。澳大利亚的黄金海岸是家庭度假的理想场所，这里有美丽的海滩，冒险公园，自然公园等。但是开车游玩会让你错过很多美丽的景色，骑自行车会带来完全不同的体验。这里提供租用自行车的服务，并且骑自行车在这里游玩是很经济的方式。

【1】推理判断题。根据第二段中的“There are so many sights to see here. It is a pity to drive in a car and you’ll miss a great part of it.”可知，这里有很多风景可看。如果开车的话你会很遗憾的，因为你会错过很多美丽的景色。因此你最好不要在黄金海岸开车，因为你不能很好地欣赏美丽的景色。故选C。

【2】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“being able to stop whenever you want to see an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before. It is a quieter way of transportation as well, so you might even be able to take a picture. It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car.”和第四段中的“it is also a cheap way to travel with your family.”可知，当你想看一只你从未见过的有趣的动物或鸟的时候，你可以停下来。这也是一种比较安静的游玩方式，你可以拍照。骑自行车会带来一个完全不同于日光浴或乘车游玩的感受。骑自行车与你的家人旅行是一个花钱少的方式。由此可知， A、B和C项在文中均被提到，而D项（这是一个做日光浴的好方法）与文章内容不符。故选D。

【3】词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“being able to stop whenever you want to see an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before...It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car.”当你想看一只你从未见过的有趣的动物或鸟的时候，你可以停下来。这也是一种比较安静的游玩方式，你可以拍照。骑自行车会带来一个完全不同于日光浴或乘车游玩的感受。当你在海滩上时，你可以呼吸到清新的空气，欣赏水和沙子的美丽。骑自行车会带来一个完全不同于日光浴或乘车游玩的感受。这是在说骑自行车在黄金海岸旅行时的感受，是开车不能体会到的。这是骑自行车旅行的“优势”所在，即strength意为“优势，优点”。A. advantage优势，有利条件；B. weakness缺点；C. appearance外观；D. importance重要性。因此advantage与strength具有相同的含义。故选A。

【4】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“A bicycle hire on Gold Coast is something that everyone should try at least once. This is a wonderful chance for anyone who likes to cycle and it is also a cheap way to travel with your family.”可知，在黄金海岸租自行车游玩是每个人都应该至少尝试一次的事情。对于喜欢骑自行车的人来说，这是一个很好的机会。骑自行车与你的家人旅行是一个花钱少的方式。因此作者对在黄金海岸租自行车游玩持支持的态度。故选B。
