Question

【題目】 Fraser Island is in Queensland, Australia, about 200 kilometers north of Brisbane. It is about 120 kilometres long and 240 kilometers wide. It is a very important is land because it is completely made of sand, but there is a long beach along the east coast. Planes arrive and leave from here.

The sand makes unusual shapes. There are hills made of sand called sandblows. Nothing grows on them. They move one or two meters a year from the northwest towards the southeast of the island, getting bigger and bigger. At other places on the island, such as Rainbow Gorge, The Cathedral and Red Canyon, the sandy rocks have different colors. Sometimes the rocks are so brown that they turn the sea brown, like coffee.

Surprisingly, the sandy island has a lot of different plants and animals. There are dark forests- eucalyptus woods, beautiful flowers and over a hundred lakes. There are many kinds of birds, like owls and curlews. There are many animals there, too, such as crocodiles, flying foxes and wild dogs called dingoes.

About 500,00 people visit the island every year to see the island's beauty and nature. People enjoy camping and hiking there. Unluckily, the visitors create problems. They damage (毀壞) plants and frighten (驚嚇) animals. Their sun cream (防曬霜) makes the water dirty. So it is necessary to manage the visitors. For example, people may not use motor boats or go fishing in the lakes, and they need official papers to drive there.

【解析】

文章大意：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了弗雷澤沙島的地理位置、領(lǐng)域范圍、這座沙島的組成以及島上特殊的動(dòng)植物。作者還提到游客們對(duì)島嶼的破壞行為并提出應(yīng)采取的措施。

【1】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“It is a very important is land because it is completely made of sand,”可知，它是一個(gè)非常重要的島嶼，因?yàn)樗�完全是由沙子�?gòu)成的，故答案選A。

【2】

理解判斷題。根據(jù)“There are hills made of sand called sandblows. Nothing grows on them. They move one or two meters a year from the northwest towards the southeast of the island, getting bigger and bigger. At other places on the island, such as Rainbow Gorge, The Cathedral and Red Canyon, the sandy rocks have different colors. ”有一種由沙子構(gòu)成的小山，叫做沙丘。上面什么也長(zhǎng)不出來。它們每年從島的西北部向島的東南部移動(dòng)一兩米，變得越來越大。在島上的其他地方，如彩虹峽谷，大教堂和紅峽谷，沙巖有不同的顏色�？芍�，沙丘上什么也不長(zhǎng)，沙丘可以移動(dòng)，沙丘并不是在一年之內(nèi)形成的，沙丘有不同的顏色，所以A選項(xiàng)符合文意，B 、C、D選項(xiàng)均與文意不符，故答案選A。

【3】

詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)“There are many animals there, too, such as crocodiles, flying foxes and wild dogs called dingoes.”可知這里的called是過去分詞作后置定語，意為被叫做“dingoes”的野狗，所以dingoes指的是“wild dogs”，故答案選C。

【4】

段意歸納題。根據(jù)最后一段中的內(nèi)容“Unluckily, the visitors create problems. They damage plants and frighten animals. Their sun cream makes the water dirty. So it is necessary to manage the visitors. ”不幸的是，游客制造了麻煩。它們破壞植物，驚嚇動(dòng)物。他們的防曬霜把水弄臟了。因此，有必要對(duì)訪客進(jìn)行管理。可知因?yàn)槿藶榈钠茐�，弗雷澤島需要保護(hù)，故答案選A。

【5】

主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段Fraser Island is in Queensland， Australia弗雷澤沙島位于澳大利亞昆士蘭；第二段第一句The sand makes unusual shapes沙子形狀異常；第三段第一句Surprisingly， the sandy island has a lot of different plants and animals令人驚訝的是，沙島有很多不同的動(dòng)植物；可知，短文主要介紹弗雷澤沙島自然景觀，故答案選A。
