华师附中高三英语周测 14 2024届浙江省杭州二中、温州中学、绍兴一中、金华一中高三第一次四校联考英语试题 第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节,满分 50 分 ) A The Seychelles--that remote island chain off the coast of northern Africa is heaven for scuba divers(水肺潜水). With more than 100 islands, most of which are uninhabited, and a relatively small amount of tourists impacting the oceans and beaches, the Seychelles has some truly best scuba diving. Fisherman’s Cove Reef If you’re a beginner diver who loves gentle drop-offs and sea turtles, make sure Fisherman's Cove Reef is on your scuba diving radar. The site is very popular as there’s rarely a current, it’s very shallow, and has a colorful reef with everything from eagle rays to small leaf fish, which can be very difficult to find against the seagrass and coral. Ennerdale Wreck If you love wreck diving, head right for the Ennerdale,a British oil tanker that accidentally sunk in 1970. Because of the medium-to-strong current and depth, it's for divers with advanced open water cert. They’ll be able to swim around the wreck's propellers, penetrate the frame, and likely see reef sharks and the occasional bull shark. Baie Ternay Marine Park The shallow, protected area of ocean has healthy and varied coral, and a lively reef. Both snorkelers and beginner divers are likely to see sea turtles grazing on the seagrass, coaching reef fish, and small eels poking out of the sandy ocean floor. Aldabra Atoll It doesn't get much more remote than the Aldabra Atoll,a UNESCO site. The coral reef continues underwater, which makes all the island's dive sites stunning. Advanced divers can do drift dives in a channel with a chance of seeing sharks, while beginners can stay closer to the reefs, checking the various species of marine life in the Indian Ocean off their must-see list. The island is home to nearly 100, 000 giant tortoises, as well as several other rare species. 21. Why is the Seychelles known as heaven for scuba divers? A. Its close distance to northern Africa. B. The high chance to spot the fish
