旅游广告针对的当然是游客(tourists)。

(2)

根据文章首句：The Little Penguin has called Phillip Island home for untold generations。小企鹅把菲利浦岛当作家园已经不知几代了。untold多得数不清的。所以A项是正确的。B项说的是蚯蚓，而不是小企鹅；C项和D项在文中未提及。

(3)

　　成人票每张25美元，儿童票每张12.50美元，所以25×2＋12.50＝62.50美元。

　　这是一篇旅游广告，介绍了到菲利浦岛观赏企鹅的三种方式。

“Sevenfoot beds would work fine.”

     Phil White has just returned from an 18,000-mile, around-the-world bicycle trip. White had two
reasons for making this epic journey. First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity,
which he did. He raised ~70,000 for the British charity, Oxfam. White's second reason for making the
trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world. He is still
waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not.
    White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June 2004 and was back 299 days later. He
spent more than l,300 hours in the saddle(车座)and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains.
He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia, Australia, New Zealand
and the   Americas. Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team. No jeep carrying food,
water and medicine. No doctor. Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road.
     The journey was lonely and desperate at times. He also had to fight his way across deserts, through
jungles and over mountains. He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45 degrees, all to
help people in need. There were other dangers along the road. In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers
and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had. The worst thing that happened to him
was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia. For 1,000 kilometres
he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him. This part of the trip was slow, hard work
and depressing, but he made it in the end. Now Mr. White is back and intends to write a book about his
adventures.
1.  When Phil White returned from his trip, he________.
A. broke the world record

A. Very slow but exciting.                    
B. Very long and difficult.
C. Very smooth but tiring.                
D. Very lonely and depressing.
3. During his journey around the world, Phil White _______.
A. fought heroically against robbers in Iran
B. experienced the extremes of heat and cold
C. managed to ride against the wind in Australia
D. had a team of people who travelled with him
4. Which of the following words can best describe Phil White?
