Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
Whether you're up for a Crocodile Dundee's 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(延伸) of clean sand and water. With parking near the center of the beach, that leaves the rest of it as a peaceful location with a sparse population, from which you can go surfing but take care — without the huge crowds of other Sydney's 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 famous 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 few miles and takes you from Bronte Beach to Waverly Cemetery, where many famous Australians are buried, including the poet Henry Lawson.

B.Bronte Beach—Bondi Beach—Palm Beach—Sydney Beach

D.Bondi Beach—Bronte Beach—Palm Beach—Sydney Beach
（2）The underlined word "sparse" probably means ________.
A.large
B.thick
C.thin
D.crowded
（3）What can we learn from the passage?
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.

（1）B
（2）C

（4）D
【解析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，介紹了悉尼以及它的沙灘。無(wú)論你是想體驗(yàn)鱷魚(yú)鄧肯的冒險(xiǎn)之路，還是想品嘗一下澳大利亞的陽(yáng)光，悉尼和悉尼周?chē)�的沙灘可以滿(mǎn)足你這些需求，并且還不止這些。

⑴考查推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的“Sydney Beach is located at Sydney's northernmost tip”可知，Sydney Beach在最北部，排除A、C；根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“It starts at Bondi and heads south to Bronte Beach.”可知，Bronte Beach位于Bondi Beach的南部，說(shuō)明Bronte Beach在最南端，故選B。

⑵考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第三段中的“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”可知，Palm Beach是一個(gè)狹長(zhǎng)的地帶，汽車(chē)停在沙灘的中心地帶，那么，剩下的可供游客休閑的地方就很少了，排除A；根據(jù)“without the huge crowds”可知，這里不用擠，排除B、D，故選C。

⑶考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后兩段中的“two scenic coastal walks will afford you great views and sights along the shore...Your second choice for a scenic coastal walk covers a little under two miles”可知，在Bondi Beach和Bronte Beach可以散步，故選A。

⑷考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“the beaches in and around Sydney can offer you all that and more”可知，作者介紹了悉尼和它周?chē)�的著名沙灘，目的是吸引游客到這些沙灘游覽，故選D。
