Passage Two
[29]Majestic, serene. Just two words to describe the scenic regions of Utah in the Mountain West of the United States. Now, our office offers fabulous, five-day outdoor packages to the state for the adventurous.
On the first day of your tour, visit the capital of historic Salt Lake City, Temple Square, home to the world-famous Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and other local historical sites.
Then, your tour will take you on a four-day adventure of a lifetime to central and southern Utah where you will [30]hike and backpack through Arches National Park, Goblin Valley, and Bryce National Park. You'll also explore the magical world of Little Wild Horse Canyon. This very narrow, winding chasm, with its steep walls on either side of you, will leave you in amazement knowing that it was formed from rushing water and erosion over millions of years.
You'll also hike and scramble up to remote Indian ruins, study their history along the way, and learn how to respect and preserve the sites and wildlife you encounter. You also learn the basics in rappelling-techniques designed specifically for the amateur climber.
[31]The price of your package includes local transportation in Utah, one-night's lodging in a four-star hotel in Salt Lake City, hiking and camping gear, two meals a day, and your professional tour guide. Transportation from your point of origin is not included. Contact our office between 8 and 5:30 p.m. for more information and current availability on this wilderness trek, and reservations must be made thirteen days in advance. Let us show Utah like no one else can.
Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. What is the feature of the scenic regions?
正确答案:B
解析:短文一开头就提到,犹他州只需用两个词来形容:壮美、宁静。B为原文中majestic和serene的同义替换,故为答案。
30. Which activity is included in the package tour?
正确答案:B
解析:短文说,游客们将背包徒步穿行犹他州内的Arches, Goblin Valley, and Bryce三个国家森林公园。故答案为B。四个选项都描述了游玩的项目。注意做好记号,谨防有的项目没有出现、有的项目的描述张冠李戴。
31. What is covered in the price of the tour?
正确答案:B
解析:短文说,这个旅行套餐的费用包括犹他州本地交通,盐湖城四星级酒店一晚住宿,远足装备,一日两餐和专业导游。故答案为B。四个选项分别讲述食、宿、交通和装备四个细节,注意每个细节的限制或修饰条件。
