Sitting on the peaceful coast(海岸) of the Galapagos Islands,Ecuador,watching the sun move quietly into the sea,you shouldn’t forget that Charles Darwin(1809—1882)arrived here in 1835.He stayed on the islands for five weeks,observing various animals.This finally inspired(激发) his famous work,On the Origin of Species.You can certainly follow Darwin’s footsteps and enjoy a trip from four to seven days to the islands.
The islands are certainly a paradise(天堂) for wildlife,as there are no natural killers on the islands and the number of boats and visitors is under government control.Though you cannot walk freely as Darwin did about 200 years ago,each day is as impressive as it could be.
The most well-known animal of the Galapagos is the giant tortoise,which can be seen moving slowly around the highlands of Santa Cruz,the second largest island in the archipelago(群岛).Some of these creatures are so old that they might have been seen in their youth by Darwin himself.
Despite(不管) strict control over activities and timing,your stay on the Galapagos will be remembered as a chain of incomparable pictures:diving with sea lions that swim and play within inches of you;feeling small sharks touch your feet as you swim;and,most magically,seeing a whale and her baby surface with a great breath of air.
Travelling between the islands and observing the wildlife that so inspired Darwin,you will feel as though you are getting a special view of an untouched world.At night you will sleep on board the ship,leaving the wildlife in complete occupation of the islands,which are as undisturbed now as they have been since the beginning of time.
1.What do we know about Darwin’s visit to the islands?
A.He studied different creatures on the islands.
B.He completed his famous book on the islands.
C.He was touched by the geography of the islands.

A.Animals on the islands feed on grass.
B.Local government forbids killing wildlife.
C.People cannot visit the islands as they wish.
D.Tourists are not allowed to touch the animals.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“...the number of boats and visitors is under government control.”可知人们不能随意上岛参观。
3.Your stay on the islands will be most impressive mainly because of .?

4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.A Unique Attraction for Wildlife Lovers
B.Galapagos as a Paradise for Adventurers
C.Charles Darwin as a Symbol of Galapagos
D.A Successful Example of Wildlife Protection
答案:A
解析:主旨大意题。C、D两项不是本文要阐述的重点,本文主要推荐the Galapagos Islands这个旅游景点,全文介绍了这些岛上独特的野生动物,对野生动物爱好者来说具有非凡的吸引力。故A项为最佳选项。
B
High school was wonderful,but I had always felt uncomfortable as one of taller members of my class,standing a head above the other girls and stooping(弯腰)at the back of the line to avoid sticking out.
I especially hated being around large groups of people,like during the social hour after the church services.
My grandfather would watch me grow increasingly uncomfortable(不舒服的),but he didn’t laugh at me or try to comfort me.Instead,he would warn(警告) me.“Stand straight and tall,” he’d say,as I tried to shrink(退缩)myself.
And each time,I would obey him.Even at age 15,I understand that his advice was about more than just feet and inches.
My grandfather grew up in war-torn Europe.When German soldiers took his hometown,the beautiful and exciting city of Tarnow,Poland,he joined the Soviet army for his country’s freedom.“Stand straight;stand tall,” meant something else back then.I trusted my grandfather more than anyone else in my childhood.And whenever I was afraid of something,he would tell me stories of his life.
After the war,he took a boat for America on January 27,1947.All alone in a new country,he was frightened about his future.
Still,he marched head-on in the streets of New York.Soon he met other European immigrants(移民),each of them trying to find his or her own way.
If they could do it,why couldn’t he?“Stand straight;stand tall,” he would tell himself.
At first my grandfather refused to enter an American church.He was angry with God for the loss of his whole family back in Europe.However,soon he walked into the church that first time;he walked in proudly.?
5.When the author was a high school student,what worried her?
A.The school life was not good.
B.Her classmates were more beautiful.
C.She did badly in her studies.
D.She was too tall for her age.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。由第一段可知,作者的校园生活虽然美好,但她由于比别人高一头而感到不舒服。因此,她过高的个头是她上中学时所烦心的事情。故答案为D项。
6.When the author’s grandfather found her uncomfortable,what did he do?
A.He did nothing but watch her.
B.He warned her to be herself.
C.He comforted her in a soft voice.
D.He laughed at her for it.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。由第三段可知,当作者的祖父发现她的不舒服之后,并没有安慰她,也没有笑她,而是告诫她要站直、站高。由此可推出作者的祖父要她自然地行事。
7.What did the author think of her grandfather’s advice?
A.It was valuable.
B.It was useless.
C.It was boring.
D.It was unnecessary.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。由第四段可知,每次作者都接受祖父的建议,认为他的建议不是无足轻重的。由此推出她认为祖父的建议是有价值的。

A.He was once a soldier who served in the Soviet army.
B.He served as a German soldier when he was young.
C.His family moved to the United States after the war.

A.the author’s grandfather regained self-confidence
B.the author’s grandfather became an American
C.the author’s grandfather didn’t hate Germans
D.the author’s grandfather began to play tricks on God
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。由句子中的However可知本句和上一句之间存在转折,上一句表示作者的祖父对上帝产生了不信任,不想进教堂,因此本句就应该表示他重新找到了对上帝的信心,即对自己的信心。故答案为A项。
