THE REMARKABLE ROCKS area must-see on Kangaroo Island

accessible by air and ferry from the Australian mainland

Hop on new Kangaroo Island trail

for five-day adventure

It sounds like an amusement park.Or a portion of a zoo reserved for marsupials(有袋動(dòng)物). But Kangaroo Island(KI), 30 minutes by air from Adelaide in South Australia, is just the opposite. Much of the island remained inaccessible to visitors until this year.Opened to the public in May, the Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail, a nearly 38-mile, fie-day hike, ushers adventurous trekkers on a botanically distinctive immersion into the islands' south-west side.

Footers can expect to walk roughly four to seven hours a day, passing colorful flower, splendid sugar gum tees and massive native plant life. In this timeless setting, they'll likely sport kangaroos, goanna lizards and spiny echidna. From cliff rims， they'll overlook the Southern Ocean， where sharks lurk and schools of salmon cluster in flower like, protective formations.

The trial includes 4 camping areas,each outfitted with 24 tent platforms :12 for self-guided walkers and 12 for tour operators,who also can arrange options off the trail.

Independent trekkers pay about$124to do the walk; the cost includes the parking at the Flinders Chase visitor center ,and a trail guide and map.

KI is accessible both by air and by ferry ;www.tourkangarooisland. com.au

【2】B

【解析】

這是一篇說明文,短文介紹了旅游景點(diǎn)袋鼠島的相關(guān)信息。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“Opened to the public in May, the Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail, a nearly 38-mile, fie-day hike, ushers adventurous trekkers on a botanically distinctive immersion into the islands' south-west side.”袋鼠島荒野步道(the Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail)于今年5月向公眾開放。全長近38英里,為期五天的徒步旅行,將冒險(xiǎn)的旅行者帶到了島西南部一個(gè)具有植物特色的地方。根據(jù)第二段“In this timeless setting, they'll likely sport kangaroos, goanna lizards and spiny echidna. From cliff rims, they'll overlook the Southern Ocean, where sharks lurk and schools of salmon cluster in flower like, protective formations.”在這種永恒的環(huán)境中,他們可能會(huì)看到袋鼠、巨蜥和多刺的針鼴。從懸崖邊緣,他們可以俯瞰南大洋鯊魚潛伏在那里,成群的鮭魚像花朵一樣,形成保護(hù)性的隊(duì)形。所以判斷出,袋鼠島因自然美景而特別。故選D項(xiàng)。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)圖片下的“THE REMARKABLE ROCKS area must-see on Kangaroo Island accessible by air and ferry from the Australian mainland.”可知Remarkable Rocks是袋鼠島的必看景點(diǎn)。所以島上的游客能看到Remarkable Rocks。故選B項(xiàng)。
