THE REMARKABLE ROCKS area must-see on Kangaroo Island

accessible by air and ferry from the Australian mainland

Hop on new Kangaroo Island trail

for five-day adventure

It sounds like an amusement park.Or a portion of a zoo reserved for marsupials(有袋动物). But Kangaroo Island(KI), 30 minutes by air from Adelaide in South Australia, is just the opposite. Much of the island remained inaccessible to visitors until this year.Opened to the public in May, the Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail, a nearly 38-mile, fie-day hike, ushers adventurous trekkers on a botanically distinctive immersion into the islands' south-west side.

Footers can expect to walk roughly four to seven hours a day, passing colorful flower, splendid sugar gum tees and massive native plant life. In this timeless setting, they'll likely sport kangaroos, goanna lizards and spiny echidna. From cliff rims， they'll overlook the Southern Ocean， where sharks lurk and schools of salmon cluster in flower like, protective formations.

The trial includes 4 camping areas,each outfitted with 24 tent platforms :12 for self-guided walkers and 12 for tour operators,who also can arrange options off the trail.

Independent trekkers pay about$124to do the walk; the cost includes the parking at the Flinders Chase visitor center ,and a trail guide and map.

KI is accessible both by air and by ferry ;www.tourkangarooisland. com.au

这是一篇说明文,短文介绍了旅游景点袋鼠岛的相关信息。

【1】推理判断题。根据第一段“Opened to the public in May, the Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail, a nearly 38-mile, fie-day hike, ushers adventurous trekkers on a botanically distinctive immersion into the islands' south-west side.”袋鼠岛荒野步道(the Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail)于今年5月向公众开放。全长近38英里,为期五天的徒步旅行,将冒险的旅行者带到了岛西南部一个具有植物特色的地方。根据第二段“In this timeless setting, they'll likely sport kangaroos, goanna lizards and spiny echidna. From cliff rims, they'll overlook the Southern Ocean, where sharks lurk and schools of salmon cluster in flower like, protective formations.”在这种永恒的环境中,他们可能会看到袋鼠、巨蜥和多刺的针鼹。从悬崖边缘,他们可以俯瞰南大洋鲨鱼潜伏在那里,成群的鲑鱼像花朵一样,形成保护性的队形。所以判断出,袋鼠岛因自然美景而特别。故选D项。

【2】细节理解题。根据图片下的“THE REMARKABLE ROCKS area must-see on Kangaroo Island accessible by air and ferry from the Australian mainland.”可知Remarkable Rocks是袋鼠岛的必看景点。所以岛上的游客能看到Remarkable Rocks。故选B项。
