No trip to Sydney would be complete without a visit to Australia’s most famous landmark, the Sydney Opera House. Its unique appearance was designed to resemble a ship’s sails and its historic importance is recognised by people all over the world. The Sydney Opera House welcomes more than 10 million visitors each year, making it the country’s most popular tourist spot.

The Sydney Opera House is open 363 days a year, and admission is free. Tours are available throughout the day in seven different languages. For those who arrive hungry, its restaurants offer everything from snacks to fine dining.

It is home to a vast number of Australia’s birds and other forms of wildlife. One of the most visited sites is the Three Sisters, named for its unique rock formations.
Off the coast of New South Wales lies a remote island called Lord Howe Island. Created by a volcano, the island is surrounded by beautiful reefs. Two mountains tower over a bay with sandy, white beaches. Visitors can enjoy beach walks, mountain hikes, water activities(above and below the water), exceptional bird watching and more. About 380 people live on it, and a maximum of 400 visitors can visit at one time.

【语篇解读】 文章主要介绍了作者在澳大利亚大洋路及其沿途的大奥特维国家公园游玩的经历。

1.which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰前面整个句子,从句中缺少主语,故用关系代词which引导。故填which。
2.extremely 考查副词。修饰形容词attractive,应用副词extremely。故填extremely。
3.were 考查时态和主谓一致。根据空前的was可知,时态应用一般过去时;主语为 the forest and mountains,谓语动词用复数形式。故填were。
4.to 考查介词。thanks to为固定短语,表示“多亏了,归功于”,此处表示“雨林里的天气还是很凉爽的,这要归功于来自各种瀑布的薄雾”。故填to。
5.called 考查非谓语动词。call在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语area构成被动关系,故用过去分词作后置定语。故填called。
6.be seen 考查语态。此处主语The view of the waterfall和see之间是被动关系,could后跟动词原形。故填be seen。
7.steps 考查名词的数。step为可数名词,由hundreds of修饰应该用复数形式。故填steps。
8.to explore 考查非谓语动词。way后常用不定式作后置定语,表示“……的方法”。故填to explore。
9.an 考查冠词。angle(角度)为可数名词,此处泛指一个角度,且angle以元音音素开头。故填an。
10.our 考查代词。修饰名词necks应用形容词性物主代词our。故填our。
感谢聆听,再见!
