The amazing image shows the world’s largest ever cruise ship, complete with beach pool, shopping mall, rock-climbing walls, outdoor amphitheater(圓形劇場(chǎng))and New York-style loft suites(套間).The “traveling city” is being built on dry-docks in Finland by Royal Caribbean International, and she is named Oasis of the Seas.
Almost 1,200 feet long, 154 feet wide and rising 213 feet above the water line, the Oasis of the Seas will be able to host 3,000 crew to service every passenger’s need.In addition to the size, the Oasis of the Seas will also be the first ship that attracts people by the cruise line’s new neighborhood concept: 7 distinct themed areas, including Central Park, Boardwalk, the Royal Promenade, the Pool and Sports Zone, Vitality at Sea Spa and Fitness Center, Entertainment Place and Youth Zone.Of all these areas, the excellent zone will be “Central Park”.
Protected from the weather by a clear screen to let in the light, the Central Park area will be themed on Caribbean plants and leaves reflecting the area which the ship will eventually cruise in.And the park zone will have different restaurants, bars and boutique shops, bringing the idea of “floating city” to reality.
In addition, Oasis of the Seas will also include a rock wall, over 15 restaurants and bars, a casino(娛樂(lè)場(chǎng)), a theatre, two night-clubs and the largest freshwater pool on any cruise liner.
“Royal Caribbean is proud to introduce a number of ‘firsts’ that the world has never seen before,” said Adam Goldstein, “Oasis of the Seas is the ultimate expression of the creativity and imagination found on all of our ships, providing guests with a collection of experiences that will offer an incredible cruise vacation.”

    3. C.
      a deserted island

    3. C.

      its way of attracting tourists

BACD
1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段的the Oasis of the Seas will also be the first ship可知,這是一條船。故選B。
2.推理判斷題。由第一段的The “traveling city” is being built on dry-docks可知,這條船還沒(méi)有建成。7 distinct themed areas are being built在船上,而不是港口;the “traveling city”是一條船,可帶人們進(jìn)行乘船旅游,而不是一個(gè)景點(diǎn)。由第二段的the Oasis of the Seas will be able to host 3,000 crew可知,此船可容納3000船員,而不是說(shuō)乘客的數(shù)量。
3.主旨大意題。從內(nèi)容來(lái)看,第三段介紹了中心公園的主旨、公園區(qū)的建筑等。因此,C項(xiàng)更適合。A、B和D過(guò)于片面。
4.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段的In addition to the size, the Oasis of the Seas will also be the first ship that attracts people by...可知,A與B是正確的;第四段的the largest freshwater pool on any cruise liner.可知,C是正確的。

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2012屆安徽省合肥八中高三上學(xué)期第三次段考(英語(yǔ)) 題型:閱讀理解

If you plan on visiting to Fiji, you are probably looking for some fun things to do. Below are four unusual places.
The Poseidon Resort
The Poseidon resort is an underwater resort that gives visitors a beautiful view of sea life. This resort covers 255 acres. It’s covered and surrounded by a lagoon (咸水湖) that covers 5,000 acres and is about 90 feet under water, giving you a beautiful view of sea life right before your eyes. This resort even has a hotel for those who would prefer to have the unusual experience of sleeping and waking up to the beautiful scenery all around them.
The Sabeto Mud Pool
If you’re looking for something unusual to do, you can’t pass up the mud pool at Sabeto. It is located in a mountain range with a huge group of Geothermal (地?zé)岬? pools full of nice, warm mud. Getting down and into the mud in the pool is believed to have benefits for healthy skin. This is unusual, but adults and especially kids will love it.
Fire Walking
Fire walking in Fiji is believed to have originated on the island of Beau. Fire walking is when you walk on white-hot stones barefoot. To do this, you have to be mentally prepared for it. Trust me; there is a lot of preparation and strict rules that travelers follow in order to do this safely.
The Fiji Museum
The Fiji museum is unusual due to all the amazing artifacts you’ll see dating back 3,000-4,000 years. This museum has a certain attraction that makes it funny—a shoe. It’s been said that a man named Thomas Baker was eaten by the locals several centuries ago and the only thing left was his shoe. This unusual museum is a great idea if you bring the whole family to Fiji.
