Question

【题目】阅读理解

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Canyoning (蹦谷运动)

The sports of canyoning explore the high-energy environment where water meets rock on the coast. Protected by wetsuits and helmets (头盔), people jump from cliffs (悬崖) and waterfalls and discover caves that would not normally be arrived at.

It was first done in the U.K. by TYF Adventure (01437 721611, www.tyf.com) and several thousand people jump from the cliffs near St David’s each year. A half day canyoning trip costs ￡50 (￡30 for children under 16).

Diving (潜水)

Diving is not popular with British people. The difficulties of wild waters are greater because the water is colder and not clear enough, but the coasts of Cornwall, Wales and Scotland have some of the best diving in the world.

The British Sub Aqua Club (0870 112 9133, www.bsac.com) and the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (01580 819688, www.padi.com) run courses teaching the important skills.

Surfing (冲浪)

The best surfing places in the UK are on the southwest coast where it is warmer, especially in Cornwall. The best time of year to surf in the UK is late summer and autumn when water temperatures are warmer.

The British Surfing Association (01479 861256, www.britsurf.co.uk) has a list of famous surf schools around the country.

Rock climbing

The most popular natural rocks in Britain include the Peak District, the Lake District, while large areas of Scotland are a climber’s ideal place. Climbing courses and climbing walls can be found on the website of the British Mountaineering Council (0870 010 4878, www.thebmc.co.uk) which offers a series of short films that take the new climber through a step-by-step guide to visiting a climbing wall for the first time.

本文是一篇应用文，介绍了四种运动项目，以及相应的组织机构的有关信息。

【1】C 细节理解题。根据第二段中提到的A half day canyoning trip costs ￡50 (￡30 for children under 16).可知半天的旅行一个人是50英镑，16岁以下的孩子30，所以两个成人加一个15岁的孩子所需要费用是260，故选C项。

【2】A 细节理解题。根据第四段中的The British Surfing Association (01479 861256, www.britsurf.co.uk) has a list of famous surf schools around the country.可知选A项。

【3】B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的Diving is not popular with British people. The difficulties of wild waters are greater because the water is colder and not clear enough可知潜水不受英国人的欢迎，因为水太冷且水质不清澈，故选B项。
