阅读下列短文,从题后所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳答案。
A
A school travel club is preparing a one-day English exhibition called Natural Wonders Around Us. The teacher does not want students to copy long introductions from the Internet. Instead, each group must choose one wonder, collect basic information, and explain why tourists may want to visit it. The final product will be a poster and a three-minute oral report.
Li Ming's group chooses the Stone Forest in Yunnan. They first write down its location: it lies about 80 miles from Kunming. Then they describe its main feature. After 280 million years of formation, many stones have developed into different shapes, such as plants, animals and human figures. From a distance, the tall stones look like a forest. That is why people call it the Stone Forest. The group also adds a short note: visitors should protect the stones and follow the guide's instructions.
Another group chooses Chaka Salt Lake in Qinghai. Their poster says the lake is shallow and reflects the sky like a giant mirror on clear days. Students call it the Mirror of the Sky, but the teacher reminds them to explain the nickname, not just use beautiful words. A good travel poster should answer three questions: Where is it? What is special about it? Why is it worth visiting?
At the exhibition, students walk around the classroom and ask questions in English. Some ask about location, some ask about size, and others ask about the best season to visit. The activity helps them practise useful expressions such as be located in, be known as, from a distance and attract tourists. More importantly, it teaches them to introduce China's beautiful scenery with clear facts and real pride. When students answer visitors' questions, they also learn to check information, organize ideas and avoid empty praise, which makes their English more useful in real communication.
16. What does the teacher ask students NOT to do?
A. Copy long introductions directly from the Internet.
B. Finish posters without group discussion.
C. Give a three-minute oral report.
D. Explain why tourists may visit the wonder.
17. Why is the Stone Forest called by this name?
A. It is covered with many green trees.
B. Its stones look like a forest from a distance.
C. It has thick forests all around the stones.
D. Local people plant trees among stone shapes.
18. What should the Chaka Salt Lake group explain about the nickname?
A. How many visitors know this name.
B. Why the lake is called the Mirror of the Sky.
C. When people first created the nickname.
D. How to write the nickname in simple words.
19. Which expression is practised in the exhibition?

B. in charge of
C. get along with
D. be located in
20. What is the main purpose of the activity?

B
During the summer holiday, Chen Yu joined a small study tour to Huangshan Mountain. Before the trip, he only knew that Huangshan was a famous tourist destination in Anhui Province. His English teacher asked him to keep a travel notebook and record useful words for describing natural scenery. Chen Yu wrote down words such as peak, distance, impressive, attract and wonder.
On the first morning, the guide introduced the basic information. Huangshan covers about 154 square kilometers and has many peaks. Lianhua Peak rises above 1,800 meters. The mountain is famous for its spectacular rocks, pine trees, hot springs and views of clouds. When Chen Yu saw the rocks from a distance, he understood why visitors often used the word lifelike. Some rocks looked like animals, while others looked like people standing quietly on the mountain.
The most unforgettable part came after rain. Clouds moved between the peaks, and the mountain seemed to float in a white sea. A traveler from another province said that Huangshan was the most impressive mountain he had ever seen. Chen Yu wrote the sentence in his notebook and later changed it into indirect speech: The traveler said that Huangshan was the most impressive mountain he had ever seen. His teacher praised him because he connected real travel experience with language practice.
After returning to school, Chen Yu made a poster for his group task. He did not simply write Huangshan is beautiful. Instead, he organized the poster into three parts: basic information, scenery features and tourists' comments. He also added a reminder that visitors should not leave rubbish on the mountain. He finally understood that recommending a natural wonder means more than praising it. A good recommendation should give facts, describe feelings and show respect for nature. In his final reflection, Chen Yu wrote that numbers made scenery clearer, comments made it warmer, and protection advice made the poster more responsible. He also noticed that simple words could still be powerful when they were supported by exact details.
21. Why does Chen Yu keep a travel notebook?
A. To record useful language for describing scenery.
B. To write down every local food he tastes.
C. To count how many tourists visit Huangshan.
D. To compare Huangshan with his hometown.
22. What is Huangshan famous for according to the passage?
A. Only its highest peak Lianhua Peak.
B. Rocks, pine trees, hot springs and clouds.
C. Its large shallow salt lake.
D. A deep cave with many small waterfalls.
23. What does the idea lifelike suggest about the rocks?
A. They can move freely on the mountain.
B. They are made by local visitors by hand.
C. They look like real things or human figures.
D. All rocks share exactly the same shape.
24. What did Chen Yu do with the traveler's sentence?
A. He translated it into Chinese for fun.
B. He stuck it on his travel ticket as a mark.
C. He cut it out and threw it away.
D. He changed it into indirect speech.
25. What can be inferred from Chen Yu's final poster?
A. A travel poster should only include beautiful adjectives.
B. A good recommendation needs facts, feelings and respect for nature.
C. Tourists' comments are less useful than ticket prices.
D. Students should not write about mountain scenery features.
C
Many natural wonders become famous not only because of their size or beauty, but also because people tell interesting stories about them. Table Mountain in South Africa is a good example. It is a flat-topped mountain that looks like a huge table. When white cloud covers the top, local people call the cloud tablecloth. For visitors, the name is easy to remember because it connects the shape of the mountain with something in daily life.
There is also a local story about the tablecloth. Long ago, people said the cloud came from smoke during a contest between two powerful figures. The story may not be scientific, but it makes the natural wonder more attractive. A guide once explained to a reporter, "The story helps tourists remember the mountain, but we also need to tell them the real facts." His words show an important rule for travel communication: stories can catch attention, but facts build understanding.
For vocational students who may work in tourism or service jobs, this rule is practical. When introducing a wonder, they should not only say It is beautiful. They need to answer tourists' questions politely. Where is it located? What does it look like? Why is it special? Is there any safety rule? If students interview a park manager, they should listen carefully and ask follow-up questions according to the answers.
Good travel communication also shows cultural respect. Some visitors may love legends, while others may prefer numbers and maps. A careful speaker can use both. He may begin with an interesting story, then give information about location, height, width or history. In this way, tourists can enjoy the wonder emotionally and understand it clearly. Natural wonders are not silent objects. Through proper introduction, they become bridges between nature, culture and people. This is why a short interview about one mountain can become a lesson in listening, speaking and cultural understanding.
26. Why is the name tablecloth easy for visitors to remember?
A. It is the full official name of South Africa.
B. It connects the cloud with a familiar daily object.
C. It tells visitors the exact height of Table Mountain.
D. It has fewer letters than the name Table Mountain.
27. What does the guide's words imply about stories and facts?
A. Interesting stories should take the place of all facts.
B. Scientific facts are only important for researchers.
C. Stories attract attention, but facts help people understand.
D. Most tourists never care about local old legends.
28. Which question is NOT mentioned as useful when introducing a wonder?
A. Where is it located?
B. What does it look like?
C. Why is it special?
D. How much money does the guide earn each day?
29. What should students do when interviewing a park manager?
A. Listen carefully and ask follow-up questions.
B. Only ask simple yes-or-no questions.
C. Ignore all answers and read prepared text.
D. Stop the interview after one single question.
30. What is the best title for the passage?
A. How to Draw Clear Travel Maps
B. Table Mountain and the Skill of Travel Introduction
C. Famous Natural Wonders All Over the World
D. How to Measure the Height of Table Mountain
D
A travel agency in Jiangsu plans to design a Natural Wonders Week for vocational students. The route will not take students to very far places. Instead, it will teach them how to compare destinations, read travel information and recommend a suitable place for different tourists. The teacher who helps design the route says that students should learn that choosing a destination is a decision based on purpose, distance, safety and personal interest.
On the first day, students read three short introductions. The first is about the Stone Forest, which is known for lifelike stones and is suitable for students interested in geology and photography. The second is about Chaka Salt Lake, a peaceful place where the shallow water reflects the sky. It may attract travelers who enjoy quiet scenery, but visitors must protect the salt surface and follow local rules. The third is about the Great Barrier Reef, which supports a diverse range of life. It is a wonderful place for learning about the ocean, but it is far from China and needs more careful planning.
Students then receive three customer cards. Ms. Liu is a photography teacher who wants to take pictures of waterfalls and rocks. Mr. Green is a wildlife lover who hopes to learn about sea life. Wang Lei is a student in Jiangsu who has only a short holiday and wants a place that does not require international travel. Each group must recommend one destination and explain the reason in English.
The activity is not a real travel sale. It is a classroom task that combines reading, speaking and thinking. Students learn to use expressions such as It is suitable for..., It attracts... and According to your needs.... They also learn that a good recommendation should not be the same for everyone. A destination may be impressive, but it is not always the best choice for every traveler. Understanding needs is as important as knowing the wonder itself.
31. What is the main goal of Natural Wonders Week?
A. To sell expensive overseas travel products to students.
B. To train students to compare and recommend destinations.
C. To make every student become professional photographers.
D. To ask students to memorize all agency working rules.
32. Which destination may interest a traveler who enjoys quiet scenery and reflections?
A. The Stone Forest.
B. The Great Barrier Reef.
C. Chaka Salt Lake.
D. A downtown shopping mall.
33. Who is most likely to choose the Great Barrier Reef?
A. Ms. Liu, who takes photos of rocks and waterfalls.
B. Wang Lei, who only has a short domestic holiday.
C. A tourist who hates all kinds of sea creatures.
D. Mr. Green, who wants to learn about sea life.
34. What does the passage suggest about travel recommendations?
A. They should match travelers' real needs.
B. They always pick the farthest scenic spot.
C. They can ignore safety and travel distance.
D. They give the same suggestion to all visitors.
35. What language expression might students use in the task?
A. I have no idea about this place.
B. It is suitable for...
C. Please stop asking me questions.
D. I copied all words online.

During the summer holiday, Chen Yu joined a small study tour to Huangshan Mountain. Before the trip, he only knew that Huangshan was a famous tourist destination in Anhui Province. His English teacher asked him to keep a travel notebook and record useful words for describing natural scenery. Chen Yu wrote down words such as peak, distance, impressive, attract and wonder.
On the first morning, the guide introduced the basic information. Huangshan covers about 154 square kilometers and has many peaks. Lianhua Peak rises above 1,800 meters. The mountain is famous for its spectacular rocks, pine trees, hot springs and views of clouds. When Chen Yu saw the rocks from a distance, he understood why visitors often used the word lifelike. Some rocks looked like animals, while others looked like people standing quietly on the mountain.
The most unforgettable part came after rain. Clouds moved between the peaks, and the mountain seemed to float in a white sea. A traveler from another province said that Huangshan was the most impressive mountain he had ever seen. Chen Yu wrote the sentence in his notebook and later changed it into indirect speech: The traveler said that Huangshan was the most impressive mountain he had ever seen. His teacher praised him because he connected real travel experience with language practice.
After returning to school, Chen Yu made a poster for his group task. He did not simply write Huangshan is beautiful. Instead, he organized the poster into three parts: basic information, scenery features and tourists' comments. He also added a reminder that visitors should not leave rubbish on the mountain. He finally understood that recommending a natural wonder means more than praising it. A good recommendation should give facts, describe feelings and show respect for nature. In his final reflection, Chen Yu wrote that numbers made scenery clearer, comments made it warmer, and protection advice made the poster more responsible. He also noticed that simple words could still be powerful when they were supported by exact details.
21. Why does Chen Yu keep a travel notebook?
A. To record useful language for describing scenery.
B. To write down every local food he tastes.
C. To count how many tourists visit Huangshan.
D. To compare Huangshan with his hometown.
22. What is Huangshan famous for according to the passage?
A. Only its highest peak Lianhua Peak.
B. Rocks, pine trees, hot springs and clouds.
C. Its large shallow salt lake.

23. What does the idea lifelike suggest about the rocks?
A. They can move freely on the mountain.
B. They are made by local visitors by hand.
C. They look like real things or human figures.
D. All rocks share exactly the same shape.
24. What did Chen Yu do with the traveler's sentence?
A. He translated it into Chinese for fun.
B. He stuck it on his travel ticket as a mark.
C. He cut it out and threw it away.
D. He changed it into indirect speech.
25. What can be inferred from Chen Yu's final poster?
A. A travel poster should only include beautiful adjectives.
B. A good recommendation needs facts, feelings and respect for nature.
C. Tourists' comments are less useful than ticket prices.
D. Students should not write about mountain scenery features.

Many natural wonders become famous not only because of their size or beauty, but also because people tell interesting stories about them. Table Mountain in South Africa is a good example. It is a flat-topped mountain that looks like a huge table. When white cloud covers the top, local people call the cloud tablecloth. For visitors, the name is easy to remember because it connects the shape of the mountain with something in daily life.
There is also a local story about the tablecloth. Long ago, people said the cloud came from smoke during a contest between two powerful figures. The story may not be scientific, but it makes the natural wonder more attractive. A guide once explained to a reporter, "The story helps tourists remember the mountain, but we also need to tell them the real facts." His words show an important rule for travel communication: stories can catch attention, but facts build understanding.
For vocational students who may work in tourism or service jobs, this rule is practical. When introducing a wonder, they should not only say It is beautiful. They need to answer tourists' questions politely. Where is it located? What does it look like? Why is it special? Is there any safety rule? If students interview a park manager, they should listen carefully and ask follow-up questions according to the answers.
Good travel communication also shows cultural respect. Some visitors may love legends, while others may prefer numbers and maps. A careful speaker can use both. He may begin with an interesting story, then give information about location, height, width or history. In this way, tourists can enjoy the wonder emotionally and understand it clearly. Natural wonders are not silent objects. Through proper introduction, they become bridges between nature, culture and people. This is why a short interview about one mountain can become a lesson in listening, speaking and cultural understanding.
26. Why is the name tablecloth easy for visitors to remember?
A. It is the full official name of South Africa.
B. It connects the cloud with a familiar daily object.
C. It tells visitors the exact height of Table Mountain.
D. It has fewer letters than the name Table Mountain.
27. What does the guide's words imply about stories and facts?
A. Interesting stories should take the place of all facts.
B. Scientific facts are only important for researchers.
C. Stories attract attention, but facts help people understand.
D. Most tourists never care about local old legends.
28. Which question is NOT mentioned as useful when introducing a wonder?
A. Where is it located?
B. What does it look like?
C. Why is it special?
D. How much money does the guide earn each day?
29. What should students do when interviewing a park manager?
A. Listen carefully and ask follow-up questions.
B. Only ask simple yes-or-no questions.
C. Ignore all answers and read prepared text.
D. Stop the interview after one single question.
30. What is the best title for the passage?
A. How to Draw Clear Travel Maps
B. Table Mountain and the Skill of Travel Introduction
C. Famous Natural Wonders All Over the World
D. How to Measure the Height of Table Mountain
【答案】26.B 27.C 28.D 29.A 30.B
【解析】26 .【原文定位】第一段最后一句:For visitors, the name is easy to remember because it connects the shape of the mountain with something in daily life.B 准确说明别称好记的原因:将山顶云雾和日常生活里的桌布联系起来。

C:无中生有,别称不包含山体高度数据;
D:无中生有,原文没有对比两个单词的字母数量。
27 .【原文定位】第二段最后一句:His words show an important rule for travel communication: stories can catch attention, but facts build understanding.C 完全复刻导游表达的核心观点,故事吸引游客,事实帮助游客真正了解景点。
A:正反混淆,导游要求兼顾故事与事实,不能用故事完全替代事实;
B:范围缩小,事实对普通游客同样重要,不只是科研人员;
D:极端化表述,原文说明部分游客喜欢传说,并非所有人都不在意。
28.【原文定位】第三段第四行:They need to answer tourists' questions politely. Where is it located? What does it look like? Why is it special? Is there any safety rule?题干询问文中未提及的问题,D 选项薪资问题原文完全没有提到。
29.【原文定位】第三段最后一句:If students interview a park manager, they should listen carefully and ask follow-up questions according to the answers.A 是学生采访景区管理人员的标准做法,贴合原文要求。
B:范围限制,原文没有规定只能问是非题;
C:正反混淆,要求认真倾听,不能无视对方回答;
D:无中生有,没有采访只能问一个问题的规定。
30.全文主线:以南非桌山为例,讲解旅游从业者介绍景点时平衡传说与事实的沟通技巧。B 完美概括全文,桌山为案例,核心是旅游介绍专业技能。
A:片面,绘图只是文中极小举例,不是文章主旨;
C:范围过大,文章仅以桌山举例,没有介绍全球所有奇观;
D:片面,山体高度测量只是细节,并非全文中心。

A travel agency in Jiangsu plans to design a Natural Wonders Week for vocational students. The route will not take students to very far places. Instead, it will teach them how to compare destinations, read travel information and recommend a suitable place for different tourists. The teacher who helps design the route says that students should learn that choosing a destination is a decision based on purpose, distance, safety and personal interest.
On the first day, students read three short introductions. The first is about the Stone Forest, which is known for lifelike stones and is suitable for students interested in geology and photography. The second is about Chaka Salt Lake, a peaceful place where the shallow water reflects the sky. It may attract travelers who enjoy quiet scenery, but visitors must protect the salt surface and follow local rules. The third is about the Great Barrier Reef, which supports a diverse range of life. It is a wonderful place for learning about the ocean, but it is far from China and needs more careful planning.
Students then receive three customer cards. Ms. Liu is a photography teacher who wants to take pictures of waterfalls and rocks. Mr. Green is a wildlife lover who hopes to learn about sea life. Wang Lei is a student in Jiangsu who has only a short holiday and wants a place that does not require international travel. Each group must recommend one destination and explain the reason in English.
The activity is not a real travel sale. It is a classroom task that combines reading, speaking and thinking. Students learn to use expressions such as It is suitable for..., It attracts... and According to your needs.... They also learn that a good recommendation should not be the same for everyone. A destination may be impressive, but it is not always the best choice for every traveler. Understanding needs is as important as knowing the wonder itself.
31. What is the main goal of Natural Wonders Week?
A. To sell expensive overseas travel products to students.
B. To train students to compare and recommend destinations.
C. To make every student become professional photographers.
D. To ask students to memorize all agency working rules.
32. Which destination may interest a traveler who enjoys quiet scenery and reflections?
A. The Stone Forest.
B. The Great Barrier Reef.
C. Chaka Salt Lake.
D. A downtown shopping mall.
33. Who is most likely to choose the Great Barrier Reef?
A. Ms. Liu, who takes photos of rocks and waterfalls.
B. Wang Lei, who only has a short domestic holiday.
C. A tourist who hates all kinds of sea creatures.
D. Mr. Green, who wants to learn about sea life.
34. What does the passage suggest about travel recommendations?
A. They should match travelers' real needs.
B. They always pick the farthest scenic spot.
C. They can ignore safety and travel distance.
D. They give the same suggestion to all visitors.
35. What language expression might students use in the task?
A. I have no idea about this place.
B. It is suitable for...
C. Please stop asking me questions.
D. I copied all words online.

33.【原文定位】第二段第三句 + 第三段第二句:The third is about the Great Barrier Reef... wonderful place for learning about the ocean; Mr. Green is a wildlife lover who hopes to learn about sea life.D 完全匹配人物需求,格林先生想了解海洋生物,适合大堡礁。
A:刘老师想拍摄岩石瀑布,对应石林,不适合海洋景观;
B:王雷假期短、只想国内出行,大堡礁在海外,不符合需求;
C:正反混淆,讨厌海洋生物的游客不会选择大堡礁。

【参考范文】
I'd like to recommend Huangshan Mountain to my classmates. It is located in Anhui Province and is one of the most famous natural wonders in China. It is known for its spectacular rocks, pine trees, hot springs and views of clouds. From a distance, some rocks look like animals or people, so many visitors think they are very lifelike. After rain, clouds move between the peaks and make the mountain look like a white sea.
I recommend Huangshan because it is not only impressive but also full of cultural meaning. Many travelers say it is the most beautiful mountain they have ever seen. If we visit it, we should follow the rules, take away our rubbish and protect the plants there. Natural wonders are gifts from nature, and everyone should help protect them.
【词汇积累】natural wonder 自然奇观;be located in 位于;be known for 因……而闻名;spectacular rocks 怪石;from a distance 从远处;lifelike 栩栩如生的;protect nature 保护自然。
【句式拓展】1. It is located in Anhui Province. It is one of the most famous natural wonders in China. 可合并为:Located in Anhui Province, it is one of the most famous natural wonders in China. 2. Many travelers say it is the most beautiful mountain they have ever seen. 该句使用间接引语结构,可用于引用游客评价。
【点睛】范文围绕推荐中国自然奇观展开,结构包括位置、特色、推荐理由和保护意识;语言使用 be located in, be known for, from a distance, impressive 等本单元重点词块,适合中职学生仿写。
