题目与答案

1. 11 Which natural feature of Green Island is special?
   • The water
   • The birds
   • The fish

   答案：The water

   原文定位：Visitors come from all over the country to use our glass-bottom boat to see the fish at Green Island. But in fact, there's nothing unusual about the fish here. You find exactly the same species in many other places on this coast. And the same is true of the birds. What is unique about Green Island is that the water is so clear, which means that you can actually see the fish more easily

   同义替换：「special」↔「nothing unusual」

2. 12 Who started the nature park?
   • Mitchell Cullen
   • Churchill Peters
   • Joseph Turia

   答案：Mitchell Cullen

3. 13-14 Which TWO conditions are best for seeing fish?
   • Summer days
   • No wind
   • Early morning
   • High tide
   • No rain for one week

   答案：No wind,No rain for one week

   原文定位：The most important consideration is rainfall;What's important is that there shouldn't have been any rain for a week. That's when the water is clearest. The state of the tide, though, doesn't make much difference to underwater visibility;Another thing to think about is the wind. The perfect time to come to Green Island is when it's calm and there are no waves on the sea;Don't come too early in the morning. Anytime in the middle of the day when the sun is high is best;either summer or winter is fine... the season doesn't really matter
