Beautiful Wuyishan Mountain

　　“The beauty of Wuyishan Mountain will amaze you,” my Chinese friends said when told I would visit the nature reserve of Wuyishan Mountain. While I was impatient to verify their comments, I was skeptical (懷疑的). As a Canadian I am accustomed to large acres of greenery and vast forest.

　　But now, I must confess my impression was wrong. I was not aware that a nature reserve could embody such splendid scenery and offer such starting glimpse of history and ancient culture, in a country of 1.2 billion inhabitants, I have discovered the marvel of a nature coexists in harmony and where modern life does not disrupt (打斷)the rhythm of nature.

　　The reserve is divided into four zones foe protection and conservation which offer unique characteristics: the conservation zone of the Jiuquxi River in the center, the natural and cultural zone in the east, and finally, the ruins of the imperial Minyue City of the Han Dynasty in the village of Chengcun. These zones formed a total environment, which since 1987 has been recognized as part of the global network Man and Biosphere. To further promote preservation of this site, china has requested that Wuyishan Mountain reserve be listed as a Natural and Cultural World Heritage site of UNESCo (聯(lián)合國教科文組織).

　　作者以一個加拿大人的視角繼續(xù)了自己游武夷山的感受。他抱這熱切卻懷疑的心態(tài)游覽了武夷山保護(hù)區(qū)，發(fā)現(xiàn)武夷山不但景色優(yōu)美而且重視了歷史。作者認(rèn)為武夷山景區(qū)是自然與現(xiàn)代生活的和諧共存體。保護(hù)區(qū)根據(jù)其不同特色分為四個部分：西部的生物多樣性保護(hù)帶;中部的九曲溪生態(tài)保護(hù)帶;東部的自然文化帶以及程村的漢代皇家民樂城遺址。中國政府已經(jīng)申請將武夷山保護(hù)區(qū)列入聯(lián)合國教科文組織的世界自然文化遺產(chǎn)名錄。

　　答案及分析：

　　1. A

　　分析：本題是文章原句的改寫。第一段的“While I was impatient to verify their comments, I was skeptical.”意思是“詞是我就迫不及待的想驗證他們的話，我有點(diǎn)懷疑。”選項A是這句話的一個概括。根據(jù)這句話，作者并不是急著想去欣賞武夷山的美，而只是想去驗證朋友的話是否正確，故B錯。作者是有點(diǎn)懷疑，但同時還是很急切的，所以C只說對了其中的一個方面，說法并不全面。作者去游武夷山的心情還是很急切的，并不是indifferent漠不關(guān)心，所以D錯。故答案是A.

　　2. D

　　分析：confess意思是“承認(rèn)，坦白”，顯然admit是它的同義詞。A conclude結(jié)束，終止，做出結(jié)論;B confer授予(稱號，學(xué)位等)，贈與，把…贈與，協(xié)議;C accept接受，所以答案是D。

　　3. B

　　分析：本題也是原文的改寫。第二段的“I have discovered the marvel of a nature coexists in harmony and where modern life does not disrupt the rhythm of nature.”意思是“我發(fā)現(xiàn)了現(xiàn)代生活與自然的節(jié)奏和諧共存的奇跡。”選項A意思是“草木和廣袤的森林”，明天不符合文意;選項C“秀美的景色”雖然也是武夷山的特點(diǎn)，但是不夠準(zhǔn)確;D“自然的節(jié)奏”顯然沒有切中要點(diǎn)，只有B“人與自然的和諧共存”是原文的改寫，最為全面準(zhǔn)確。

　　4. D

　　分析：本體在原文中也可以找到答案，即“the conservation zone of biodiversity in the west.”意思是“西部的生物多樣性保護(hù)帶”。對應(yīng)的選項就是D. Conservation of biodiversity.“生物多樣性的保護(hù)”。A 自然之美;B 文化的多樣性;C 生態(tài)保護(hù)

　　5. C

　　分析：biosphere意思是“生物圈”，顯然nature是最接近的選項。前問題到武夷山時是一方面講人文，一方面講自然環(huán)境。而biosphere所在的句子中出現(xiàn)的是“Man and Biosphere”;所以說biosphere涉及的是自然環(huán)境。A atmosphere大氣層;B circumstance環(huán)境;D ecology生態(tài)學(xué)。故答案為C。
