3.Whether you're up for a Crocodile Dundee adventure or you'd just like a taste of the Australian sun,the beaches in and around Sydney can offer you all that and more.Sydney Beach
Sydney Beach is located at Sydney's northernmost tip on an extension(延伸) of land ending at Palm Beach.Before checking out the golden sand,take a quick tour of the houses of millionaires from the art and film industries.
Palm Beach
Only about an hour from downtown Sydney,Palm Beach offers a long stretch(地段) of clean sand and water.With parking near the center of the beach,that leaves the rest of it as a sparse population and peaceful location from which you can surf or body board-but take care; without the huge crowds of other Sydney beaches,Palm Beach doesn't afford quite the safety level to be found elsewhere; volunteer lifesavers are on duty only on weekends and holidays.
Bondi Beach
For the big name beach,Bondi Beach has to be your choice.Parking is difficult to find even on slow days,so consider taking public transport to this world-known beach in the eastern Sydney suburbs.Easily reachable by taxi,bus,and rail,Bondi Beach offers sun bathing,swimming,snorkeling,and all sorts of water sports fun.If you're in the mood for a bit of exercise,two scenic coastal walks will afford you great views and sights along the shore.Take in views from Mackenzie's Point.It starts at Bondi and heads south to Bronte Beach.But don't try to swim in Mackenzie's Bay-it holds dangers such as hidden rocks.
Bronte Beach
Your second choice for a scenic coastal walk covers a little under two miles and takes you from Bronte Beach to Waverly Cemetery,where many famous Australians are buried,including poets Henry Kendall,Doreothea Mackellar,and Henry Lawson.
60.Which of the following shows the right order of the beaches listed from the south to the north?B
A.Palm Beach---Sydney Beach-Bronte Beach-Bondi Beach
B.Bronte Beach-Bondi Beach-Palm Beach---Sydney Beach
C.Sydney Beach-Palm Beach-Bondi Beach---Bronte Beach
D.Bondi Beach-Bronte Beach-Palm Beach---Sydney Beach
61.The underlined word"sparse"probably meansC.
A.large B.thick C.thin D.crowded
62.What can we learn from the passage?A
A.If you want to enjoy a walk,you can choose Bondi Beach or Bronte Beach.
B.If you want to swim in Palm Beach,the safer time is on weekdays and holidays.
C.If you want to visit the famous people's tombs,you can choose Sydney Beach.
D.If you want to visit Palm Beach,the airplane is your best choice.
63.The author intends toD in and around Sydney.
A.show the scenery of the beaches B.introduce the culture and customs
C.show the activities on the beaches D.attract the visitors to the beaches.
分析 无论你是想体验鳄鱼邓肯的冒险之路,还是想品尝一下澳大利亚的阳光,悉尼和悉尼周围的沙滩可以满足你这些需求,并且还不止这些.
解答 60.B.细节理解题.从"Sydney Beach"部分中的"Sydney Beach is located at Sydney's northernmost tip on an extension of land ending at Palm Beach"可知,Sydney Beach在最北段,紧挨着的是Palm Beach.再根据"Bondi Beach"部分中的"It starts at Bondi and heads south to Bronte Beach."可知,Bronte Beach在它的南边.故选B.
61.C.细节理解题.从"Palm Beach"部分中的"Palm Beach offers a long stretchof clean sand and water"及"without the huge crowds of other Sydney beaches"可知,Palm Beach比较长,空间比较大,因而游客稀少.故这个词的意思与"thin"相近.故选C.
62.A.推理判断题.从"Bondi Beach"部分中的"If you're in the mood for a bit of exercise,two scenic coastal walks will afford you great views and sights along the shore."以及"Bronte Beach"部分中的"Your second choice for a scenic coastal walk covers a little under two miles and takes you from Bronte Beach…."可知,这两个海滩都是散步的好地方.故选A.
63.D.写作目的题.从文章开头部分的"….you'd just like a taste of the Australian sun,the beaches in and around Sydney can offer you all that and more"可知,本文的主要目的是想吸引游客到澳大利亚的Sydney周围的海滩度假.故选D.
