阶段综合检测 (40分) Ⅰ.阅读理解(共4小题；每小题2.5分，满分10分) Victoria Falls is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.Statistically speaking，it is the largest waterfall in the world.Victoria Falls is located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe.The falls are also close to the border of Botswana.The Zambezi River，which originates in northern Zambia，serves as the falls’ water source. There are basically two seasons for the Victoria Falls area.The rainy season runs from late November to early April with the remaining months accounting for the dry season.One would imagine that the rainy season with more water would make the falls more spectacular(壮观的)．However，the additional water and subsequent mist(水汽) in the air makes it nearly impossible to see the base of the falls. The months of June and July are probably the best time to view the falls.The water levels are still high enough to show the beauty of the falls，but the amount of water is less，creating less mist and more visibility of the falls. As you move into the later part of the dry season，August through October，it is quite possible that you will see more rock face than falls.However，this also opens the door for walking across the top of the falls，which can be a unique and exhilarating experience as well. During the rainy season and high water，Victoria Falls can be a challenge to capture(抓拍) with a camera because of all of the mist in the air.However，this increases the probabilities that you will be able to capture rainbow images around the falls. The lower water levels can create more dramatic pictures with various rocks cropping out between the falls.You should also be able to see the canyon and base of the falls.You will also be able to walk across the top of the falls and take images down the face of the falls. 1．Where does the water source of Victoria Falls originate? A．In northern Zambia. B．In southern Zimbabwe. C．At the border of Botswana. D．Between the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe. 答案　A 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中“The Zambezi River，which originates in northern Zambia，serves as the falls’ water source.”可知，维多利亚瀑布的水源源自赞比亚北部。故选A。 2．When is the best time for travelers to walk across the top of the falls? A．From November to April. B．From August to October. C．In the months of June and July. D．In the months of May and June. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段“As you move into the later part of the dry season，August through October...for walking across the top of the falls，which can be a unique and exhilarating experience as well.”可知，8月到10月是步行穿过瀑布顶部的最佳时间。故选B。 3．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 5 probably refer to? A．A camera. B．High water. C．The rainy season. D．All of the mist in the air. 答案　D 解析　代词指代题。根据画线词上文“During the rainy season and high water，Victoria Falls can be a challenge to capture(抓拍) with a camera because of all of the mist in the air.”及下文“increases the probabilities that you will be able to capture rainbow images around the falls”可推知，空气中所有的雾虽然导致难以抓拍瀑布，却增加了你在瀑布周围捕捉到彩虹图像的可能性。故此处 this 指代的是“空气中所有的雾”。故选D。 4．What are the last two paragraphs mainly about? A．Travel strategies at different water levels. B．Challenges for falls travelers to overcome. C．Photo opportunities in different seasons. D．Different views of the falls all the year round. 答案　C 解析　段落大意题。根据倒数第二段“During the rainy season and high water...capture rainbow images around the falls.”以及最后一段“The lower water levels can create more dramatic pictures...take images down the face of the falls.”可知，文章最后两段主要讲述了在雨季与旱季旅行者的一些拍照机会。故选C。 Ⅱ.完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) Ciudad Perdida，Colombia’s “Lost City”，is older than Machu Picchu.There are no trains or buses allowing of 1 travels to reach its ruins.The remote place is only 2 on foot: a tiring multi-day hike.
