Changbai Mountain is situated in Antu County of Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture (州) in northeast China, bordering the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in the south.
The most beautiful part of Changbai Mountain in China is undoubtedly Tianchi, or the Heavenly Lake. The lake was formed in the crater of the mountain, and it is the source of the Songhua, Tumen and Yalu Rivers. The altitude of the Heavenly Lake is 2,189meters, and so the average temperature is 7.3 ℃. With clouds everywhere, the Heavenly Lake is like a jade in the sky. You can find a very interesting phenomenon while walking along the Heavenly Lake. On many occasions it is common for sunshine and rain to occur at the same time. It may rain very hard one minute, but you may soon find the sun shining warmly the next minute.
To the north of the Heavenly Lake there exists an exit for the Chengcha River. Running gently for about1,200 meters, the river suddenly becomes churning rapids and drops from a 68 meters high cliff. This is the famousChangbai Waterfall, the highest volcanic waterfall in the world. Watching it from far away, the waterfall appears like a white ribbon suspended in midair. As you approach it, you can hear the loud roar and feel the chilliness of the waterfall. Another alternative to watch the waterfall is climbing to Heifengkou on the main peak. Gales blow ceaselessly in this col (山口), making it hard for visitors to walk and climb. But it remains the best place to watch the panorama of the waterfall.
Less than 2 kilometers away from the Changbai Waterfall lie the Changbai Hot Springs. With a special chemical composition inside, the rocks around the hot springs have been dyed many bright colors. Most of the hot springs have temperatures over 60 °C; the highest is 82 °C. Hot Spring Eggs have become a special local product. * Visitors can bathe in the hot springs, which are very effective for some ailments(疾病), such as arthritis,skin disease and exhaustion.

· 参考译文:
长白山位于中国东北部延边朝鲜族自治州安图县,长南与朝鲜民主主义人民共和国接壤。
中国长白山最美丽的部分无疑是天池。该湖形成于山的火山口,是松花江、图们江和鸭绿江的源头。天池海拔2189米,因此平均温度为7.3°C。天池云雾缭绕,宛如天上的玉石。沿着天池散步,你会发现一个非常有趣的现象。在很多情况下,阳光和雨水同时出现是很常见的。也许前一分钟雨下得很大,但下一分钟你就会发现阳光灿烂。
在天池的北面有一个乘槎河的出口。缓缓流过1200米后,这条河突然变成翻腾的急流,从68米高的悬崖上跌落下来。这就是著名的长白瀑布,世界上最高的火山瀑布。从远处看,瀑布就像一条悬浮在半空中的白丝带。当你走近它时,你可以听到巨大的轰鸣声,感受到瀑布的寒意。观看瀑布的另一种选择是爬到主峰的黑风口。在这种寒冷的天气里,大风不停地刮着,使游客很难行走和攀登。但它仍然是观赏瀑布全景的最佳地点。
距离长白瀑布不到2千米的地方就是长白温泉。温泉周围的岩石被一种特殊的化学成分染成了许多鲜艳的颜色。大多数温泉的温度超过60°C;最高温度为82°C。温泉蛋已经成为当地的特产。游客可以在温泉中沐浴,这对关节炎、皮肤病和疲劳等疾病非常有效。

The Dongting Lake is located in northeastern Hunan,China. And it ranks as the second largest freshwater lake in China, following the Poyang Lake in Jiangxi Province.This large and shallow lake is a flood- basin of the Yangtze River. And the provinces of Hubei and Hunan are named after their location relative to the lake: Hubei means" North of the Lake" and Hunan means" South of the Lake" in Chinese.
The Dongting Lake spreads wide on an area of 1,300square kilometers. According to geologists, the lake area used to be part of an ancient anticline (背斜) in south of the Yangtze River, but fell in a rupture (断裂) during the movement of Mount Yanshan 70 million years ago and became a lake. The area is well- known in Chinese history and literature. Dragon boat racing is said to have begun on the eastern shores of the Dongting Lake as a search for the body of Qu Yuan, the Chu poet, and a dragon- king is said to live at the bottom of the lake.
* The Dongting Lake is also famous for historical scenic spots on the lakefront, which include the Yueyang Pavilion, Junshan Mountain, Tomb of Du Fu, Wen Temple, and Longzhou Academy. At present, tourists can still enjoy five famous sights out of Eight Views of Xiaoxiang, namely the Autumn Moon on Dongting,returned Sail from Faraway Riverside, Wild Gooses Settle on the Smooth Sand, Sunset Glow on Fishing Village, and Snow Curtain Hanging over the River Sky.Moreover, the Ten Shadows of the Dongting Lake are also attractive sights.
The East Dongting Lake Nature Reserve is one of China's 30 important wetlands listed in the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands. Every year, 217 species of migratory birds under state protection live through the winter here, such as white storks, white cranes, gray cranes and egrets (白鹭). It will be a great fun if tourists take a boat tour of the lake to observe birds, listen to the waves, go fishing and taste delicious fish dishes in the nature reserve.

1. B 细节理解题。根据第一段的 The Dongting Lake is...And the provinces of Hubei and Hunan are named after their location relative to the lake... 可知, 湖北和湖南两省因其相对于洞庭湖的位置而得名……由此可知,洞庭湖起到了两省分界线的作用。
2. A 推理判断题。根据第二段的 but fell in a rupture during the movement of Mount Yanshan 70 million years ago and became a lake 可知, 洞庭湖区曾经是长江以南一个古老背斜的一部分,但在7000万年前的燕山运动中断裂,成为一个湖泊。作者提及燕山运动是为了解释洞庭湖的地质形成过程。
3. D推理判断题。第三段介绍了洞庭湖区的人文景观,无论是岳阳楼、君山、杜甫墓,还是潇湘八景,都显示了洞庭湖文化深厚的历史底蕴,为洞庭湖景色增添了无尽的魅力。
4. D主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了洞庭湖区的形成过程、著名景点以及湖区物种保护情况。
难句分析
The Dongting Lake is also famous for historical scenic spots on the lakefront, which include the Yueyang Pavilion, Junshan Mountain, Tomb of Du Fu, Wen Temple, and Longzhou Academy.洞庭湖也因湖滨的历史景点而闻名,包括岳阳楼、君山、杜甫墓、文庙和龙州书院。
which引导非限制性定语从句,补充说明先行词 scenic spots。
· 参考译文:
位于中国湖南东北部。它是中国第二大淡水洞湖,仅次于江西省的鄱阳湖。这个大而浅的湖是长江的一个洪水盆地。湖北和湖南两省因其相对于湖泊的位置而得名:湖北的意思是“湖的北面”,湖南的意思是“湖的南面”。
洞庭湖广袤无垠,面积达1300平方公里。地质学家研究表明,湖区曾是长江以南古背斜的一部分,7000万年前燕山运动期间,因地层断裂下陷而形成湖泊。这片区域在中国历史与文学中久负盛名:相传龙舟竞渡的习俗起源于洞庭湖畔东岸百姓寻找楚国诗人屈原遗体的活动,而湖底更有传说隐匿着龙王的居所。
洞庭湖也因湖滨的历史景点而闻名,包括岳阳楼、君山、杜甫墓、文庙和龙州书院。目前,游客仍然可以欣赏到潇湘八景中的五大著名景点,即洞庭秋月、远浦归帆、平沙落雁、渔村夕照和江天暮雪。此外,洞庭湖十影也是极具吸引力的景观。
东洞庭湖自然保护区是《拉姆萨尔湿地公约》中列出的中国30个重要湿地之一。每年,有217种国家保护的候鸟在这里越冬,如白鹳、白鹤、灰鹤和白鹭。如果游客在自然保护区乘船游览湖泊、观赏鸟类、聆听水浪、钓鱼并品尝美味的鱼菜肴,将是一件非常有趣的事情。

· 参考译文:
中国南方的喀斯特地区,特别是广西的喀斯特地区中非常大,在这些地区,你可以找到最好的喀斯特丘陵目的地。
1.桂林
桂林一直是中国和世界上最著名的喀斯特山区。它以喀斯特丘陵景观和丰富的洞穴系统为特色。这使得桂林成为一个真正伟大的目的地,中国的象征之一。漓江流经桂林,主要景点是漓江游船,从桂林到到兴坪和阳朔,穿过奇妙的喀斯特景观。
2.罗平
罗平是云南省东南部的一个小城市。罗平最吸引人的一面可以在2月至3月看到,那时平原上覆盖着无尽的油菜种植园。然后你可以看到一片广阔的油菜花的黄色海洋,到处都是像岛屿一样的绿色圆锥形山丘,使这个地区成为摄影师的天堂。
3.万峰林
这个地区的名字的意思是“万座森林山峰”,因为塔山确实很多。喀斯特形成了奇妙的景观,有洞穴、瀑布和山谷。万峰林西峰森林现已成为国家公园,是该地区最具吸引力的部分。它被认为是中国最美丽的喀斯特山区之一。
4.武陵源
这是一种不同的喀斯特丘陵景观。这里的山不是圆锥形的,甚至不是塔形的,而是石柱。这创造了一个独特的奇妙景观,这是地球上任何地方都看不到的。武陵源最好的地方是张家界国家公园,被称为“阿凡达山”,著名电影《阿凡达》就是在这里拍摄的。
5.石林
石林是世界上喀斯特石林形成的最好的例子。由于桂林和万峰林的条件不同,这里的水石加工也有所不同。因此,这些岩石并没有像塔山那样形成,而是被切割成石柱,这些石柱又小又尖又粗,像石剑或石牙。

本文主要介绍了黄河第一弯的美丽景色、最佳旅游季节等情况。
1. to see 考查非谓语动词。动词不定式作定语,修饰views。

3. geologically 考查副词。 important 是形容词, 应用副词修饰。
4. making 考查非谓语动词。谓语动词是 originates与flows, make处于非谓语的位置, The Yellow River与make之间是主动关系,故用现在分词,作伴随状语。
5. is考查主谓一致。黄河几字弯是游人们纷至沓来的原因。 The bends of the Yellow River是一个景点, 虽然是复数形式,但表达单数意义,故谓语动词用单数形式。
6. during 考查介词。如果你在夏季旅行,你需要运气好才能在这里看到日落。summer time 是一段时间,during意为“在……期间”。
7. where考查定语从句。游客可以乘坐电梯到达山顶的拍照点,在那里可以看到黄河几字弯的美景。where引导定语从句, 修饰先行词 the photo spot。

· 参考译文:
黄河第一弯是若尔盖最值得观赏的景观之一。在黄河畔的山上拍照点看日落景色,是观赏黄河几字弯的最佳地点之一。从地质学角度而言,此处对黄河本身亦为重要之地。黄河发源于西部的巴颜喀拉山脉,一路向东流淌,在此急转弯,向北流入甘肃省和青海省。白河在唐克镇与黄河第一弯汇合。
黄河几字弯是游人们纷至沓来的原因。许多游客也会选择在河边看日落。如果你在夏季旅行,你需要运气好才能在这里看到日落。游客可以乘坐电梯到达山顶的拍照点,在那里可以看到黄河几字弯的美景。
5月至10月是黄河第一弯的最佳旅游季节。许多游客在6月和7月来这里欣赏青山和草原的景色,但也有可能遇到雾天。黄河第一弯是一个四季分明的地方,但通常我们建议你尽量避开12月到2月(冬季),因为虽然天气非常晴朗,但太冷了。

Changbai Mountain is situated in Antu County of Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture (州) in northeast China, bordering the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in the south.
The most beautiful part of Changbai Mountain in China is undoubtedly Tianchi, or the Heavenly Lake. The lake was formed in the crater of the mountain, and it is the source of the Songhua, Tumen and Yalu Rivers. The altitude of the Heavenly Lake is 2,189meters, and so the average temperature is 7.3 ℃. With clouds everywhere, the Heavenly Lake is like a jade in the sky. You can find a very interesting phenomenon while walking along the Heavenly Lake. On many occasions it is common for sunshine and rain to occur at the same time. It may rain very hard one minute, but you may soon find the sun shining warmly the next minute.
To the north of the Heavenly Lake there exists an exit for the Chengcha River. Running gently for about1,200 meters, the river suddenly becomes churning rapids and drops from a 68 meters high cliff. This is the famousChangbai Waterfall, the highest volcanic waterfall in the world. Watching it from far away, the waterfall appears like a white ribbon suspended in midair. As you approach it, you can hear the loud roar and feel the chilliness of the waterfall. Another alternative to watch the waterfall is climbing to Heifengkou on the main peak. Gales blow ceaselessly in this col (山口), making it hard for visitors to walk and climb. But it remains the best place to watch the panorama of the waterfall.
Less than 2 kilometers away from the Changbai Waterfall lie the Changbai Hot Springs. With a special chemical composition inside, the rocks around the hot springs have been dyed many bright colors. Most of the hot springs have temperatures over 60 °C; the highest is 82 °C.
