(建议用时：45分钟)
阅读理解
(2019·安徽示范高中高三上学期考试)It may seem hard to leave Sydney’s attractions and sights, but when the urge arises to explore beyond the city, many exceptional day trips await travelers.
Scenic World
On a visit to the World Heritage－listed Blue Mountains, enjoy clean fresh air and breathtaking landscapes of ancient rainforests. Scenic World in Katoomba is the best way to access the beauty of this region. Besides climbing, you can choose cable cars, elevated boardwalks or the Scenic Railway—the world’s steepest railway travelling through a rock tunnel, to reach the mountain top.
Royal National Park
Established in 1879, the Royal National Park is the world’s third national park. Located an hour’s drive south of Sydney, the beaches are unspoilt, crowd－free and great for surfing or swimming. There’s dramatic scenery along the way with a range of unique heritage attractions. Bushwalking, boating, canoeing and fishing are also popular activities.
Featherdale Wildlife Park
Located 45 minutes drive west of Sydney, Featherdale has the world’s largest collection of Australian native birds, mammals(哺乳动物) and reptiles(爬行动物). Situated in a bushland environment, Featherdale provides a unique opportunity for up－close animal interactions(互动). Hand－feed a kangaroo, have breakfast with a koala and check out a huge variety of species including dingoes, emus, penguins and more.
The Hawkesbury River
Located an hour’s drive north－west of Sydney, the Hawkesbury River is one of New South Wales’ best－kept secrets. Experience what this picturesque region of waterways, farmland and national parks has to offer—from water skiing and bushwalking to horse riding, river cruises and retail therapy.
