UNIT 4 课时跟踪检测（二）语言运用综合练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 Shakespeare once called the English countryside “the precious stone set in the silver sea” — and he is not the last to sing high praises of its beauty and historical charm. The countryside is particularly beautiful during the summer, especially in August and September.As one travels the countryside, you'll find more of its treasures: so many plants and animals, romantic castles, secret gardens, and villages so unchanged in the last decades that they seem to have been caught under a fairy's spell. Mustsees include Derbyshire, called “the heart of England” and home to the National Park. The great peaks were the muse (创作灵感) of the Bronte sisters (and if you love the book Jane Eyre, you can visit North Lees hall, where the real Eyre family once lived)． History lovers will enjoy a visit to Lincoln city (its most famous son is Lord Alfred Tennyson). It is also known for its cathedral, the charming tea shops, a small castle. One would never guess its past — built by the Romans, it was once a center for arrow (箭) making. Harry Potter fans shouldn't miss a visit to Alnwick, which is better recognized as the “Hogswarth” in the movies. Let's not leave out the Wessex region, where one can see one of England's greatest mysteries, Stone Henge. You can also go to the City of Bath, which has been famous for its medicines springs since the Roman times. Other popular attractions include Salisbury Cathedral, the landscaped gardens of Stourhead, and the cobbled (用鹅卵石铺的) streets of Shaftesbury. This is also home to Oxford, one of the world's most famous universities. Art lovers will also like a visit to East Anglia, whose landscapes inspired the painter Constable (he was born in Dedham village). This is also home of the University City of Cambridge, and the famous architectural attraction, King's College Chapel. Be sure to visit the aircraft museum of Duxford. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国乡村独有的美。它不仅有着美丽的风景，而且历史底蕴深厚，同时介绍了几处令旅游爱好者们喜欢的游览胜地。 1．The text is most pro
