Question

【題目】 It’s wonderful to have a relaxing bath in mineral water while looking out over beautiful scenery. If you live in the US or are planning a visit, consider going to one of the two natural hot springs (溫泉) in the western US:

Travertine Hot Springs

At the edge of the Sierra Nevada Mountains near Bridgeport, California lie the Travertine Hot Springs. The orange, green, and red rocks and the mountains create beautiful views for you to enjoy while you bathe. Each pool is a different temperature, so you can find one that’s comfortable for you. These springs can easily be reached by car. Take Route 395 south from Bridgeport and turn left onto Jack Sawyer Road. In about a mile you’ll arrive at the springs. If you like to camp, you can camp along Jack Sawyer Road.

Bagby Hot Springs

In the middle of an ancient forest you’ll find the Bagby Hot Springs. At the springs there are wooden bathhouses, with both private baths and communal baths. Through a system of pipes the spring water is brought to the baths at a temperature of 136 degrees Fahrenheit. If that’s too hot buckets of cold water are also available to mix into the bathtub (浴缸) or to cool off with after your bath.

The Bagby Springs are about 45 minutes from Estacada, Oregon, on Highway 224. To get to the bathhouse there is a 1.5-mile walk from the parking lot through the beautiful Mt. Hood National Forest. While in the area, make sure to visit Portland, which is known for its coffee, restaurants, and music.

The best time to visit the two hot springs is in late spring, or in summer or fall. While in the area, check out the Curecanti National Recreation Area, where you can enjoy canoeing, fishing, bird watching, camping, and hiking.

【4】D

【5】C

【解析】

這是一篇應(yīng)用文。文章介紹了美國西部的兩處溫泉。

【1】推理判斷題。第二段中的Take Route 395 south from Bridgeport and turn left onto Jack Sawyer Road. In about a mile you’ll arrive at the springs. If you like to camp, you can camp along Jack Sawyer Road. 從布里奇波特向南走395號(hào)公路，左轉(zhuǎn)到杰克索耶路。大約一英里后，你會(huì)到達(dá)溫泉。如果你喜歡露營，你可以沿著杰克索耶路露營。說明杰克索耶路離溫泉還有一段距離，在加利福尼亞的溫泉泡澡只能沿著杰克索耶路露營，沒法在溫泉附近露營，選項(xiàng)D你可以隨意在溫泉附近露營。所以這不是這處溫泉的優(yōu)點(diǎn)，切題，故選D。

【2】詞義猜測(cè)題。第三段中的At the springs there are wooden bathhouses, with both private baths and communal baths. 溫泉設(shè)有木制浴室，既有私人浴室又公共浴室。在句中both…and不但……而且，用于連接兩個(gè)表示并列關(guān)系的名詞或代詞，both后是private baths（私人的浴室），and后的詞應(yīng)與此對(duì)稱，應(yīng)為“公用的浴室”，畫線詞的詞義就應(yīng)是“公用的”，選項(xiàng)A共有的，合用的，切題，故選A。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第二段中的The orange, green, and red rocks and the mountains create beautiful views for you to enjoy while you bathe. 橙色、綠色和紅色的巖石和山脈為您營造美麗的景色，讓您在洗溫泉時(shí)盡情享受。可知，第一處溫泉周圍景色美麗。第四段中的To get to the bathhouse there is a 1.5-mile walk from the parking lot through the beautiful Mt. Hood National Forest. 要前往浴室，從停車場(chǎng)步行1.5英里，穿過美麗的胡德山國家森林就到了�？芍�，第二處溫泉周圍的自然景色很美麗。這兩處溫泉的相似之處是它們周圍美麗的景色。選項(xiàng)B溫泉周圍美麗的景色，切題，故選B。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章最后一段的The best time to visit the two hot springs is in late spring, or in summer or fall. 游覽兩個(gè)溫泉的最佳時(shí)間是在春末，或在夏季或秋季�？芍�，游覽的最佳時(shí)間不包括冬季，選項(xiàng)D12月份，12月份在冬季，切題，故選D。

【5】推理判斷題。文章介紹的是兩處溫泉，是向旅游者推薦的旅游項(xiàng)目和線路，面向大量的普通閱讀人群，吸引大家前往。發(fā)行后還要有一定的保有時(shí)間，保證受眾充分，報(bào)紙時(shí)間間隔太短，雜志是適合的媒介，選項(xiàng)C雜志，切題，故選C。

閱讀理解題中的反向思維題要注意題干中問題的否定問法，找到細(xì)節(jié)后要反向下結(jié)論，不要把文章細(xì)節(jié)直接做為答案，避免干擾。本題中的第1小題和第4小題都是反向思維題。第1小題是問哪一個(gè)不是它的優(yōu)點(diǎn)，要找到不能很便利做的，而不是能方便做的選項(xiàng)。第4小題是問除了哪個(gè)季節(jié)外，也就是哪個(gè)季節(jié)最好不要去，文中提到了三個(gè)季節(jié)，是適合去的，剩下一個(gè)季節(jié)才是不適合去的。
