Bandhavgarh National Park in India is best known for its amazing setting,as well as having the highest concentration of tigers in India.In addition to tigers,there are also bears,deer,wolves,birds,etc.

Location :In Madhya Pradesh state,almost 200 kilometers northeast of Jabalpur.The nearest village is Tala,which is the access point of the park.

Opening Hours and Safari (打猎) Times

Safaris operate twice a day,starting at dawn until late morning,and mid afternoon until sunset.The best time to visit the park is early in the morning or after 4 p.m.to spot the animals.the park is closed from July 1 to September 30 due to the monsoon season (季风季节).

Bandhavgarh Zone

Bandhavgarh is divided into three main zones: Tala (the park's best zone,with the most tigers),Magdhi (the second best zone to see tigers),and Khitauli (scenic and less visited,although tiger sighting do occur there; particularly good for birding).

Entry Fees and Charges for Jeep Safaris

Bandhavgarh has become expensive to visit in recent years.Entry fees have increased since October 2014.When going on a safari,separate fees must be paid for park entry and jeep hire.Entry tickets are priced per vehicle (up to six people).For 2015­16,park entry tickets cost as follows:

Tala Zone: 2,400 rupees for Indians,4,800 rupees for foreigners.(Up to six people)

Other Zones: 1,200 rupees for Indians,2,400 rupees for foreigners.(Up to six people)

Jeep Hire

Expect to pay about 2,200 rupees to hire a jeep,in addition to the entry cost.This can be done at the park entrance.All hotels can arrange jeep hire and tours,but at a higher rate.It's much less trouble though.Besides,unlike many national parks in India,it's possible to take private vehicles into Bandhavgarh.

文章大意:这是一篇广告宣传。本文介绍了印度的班达迦国家公园,讲述了公园的地理位置,平常开放时间和由于季风气候的关闭月份,不同国家游客的入场门票以及吉普车的问题。

21.What is Bandhavgarh National Park most famous for?  B  

A.Species of bears.  B.Lots of tigers.

C.Beautiful birds. D.A number of wolves.

解析:细节理解题。由文中第一段开头一句“Bandhavgarh National Park in India is best known for its amazing setting,as well as having the highest concentration of tigers in India.”可知,班达伽公园以大量的老虎闻名。故B选项正确。

22.How much should five Americans pay for entry fees to visit Magdhi Zone?  B  

A.1,200 rupees. B.2,400 rupees.

C.4,800 rupees. D.6,000 rupees.

解析:细节理解题。根据文章“Other Zones: 1,200 rupees for Indians,2,400 rupees for foreigners.(Up to six people)”可知,五个美国人(不是印度人)去公园的Magdhi区需要支付2 400卢比。故B选项正确。

23.Which of the following statements is TRUE about jeep hire in the park?  A  

A.Tourists don't have to hire jeeps.

Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years,but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going.When the world was still populated by hunter­gatherers,small,tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other.Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago,when the world had just five to ten million people,they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.

Soon afterwards,many of those people started settling down to become farmers,and their languages,too,became more settled and fewer in number.In recent centuries,trade,industrialisation,the development of the nation­state and the spread of universal compulsory education,especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades,all have caused many languages to disappear,and dominantlanguages such as English,Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.

At present,the world has about 6,800 languages.The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven.The  general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages,often spoken by many people,while hot,wet zones have lots,often spoken by small numbers.Europe has only around 200 languages;the Americas about 1,000;Africa 2,400;and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200,of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800.The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000,which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.

Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction (消亡),with only a few elderly speakers left.Pick,at random,Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers),Chiapaneco in Mexico (150),Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one,with a question­mark):none of these seems to have much chance of survival.

文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了世界上语言的种类随着人类社会的发展而逐渐减少这一现象。

24.What can we infer about languages in hunter­gatherer times?  B  

A.They developed very fast.

B.They were large in number.

C.They had similar patterns.

D.They were closely connected.

解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago,when the world had just five to ten million people,they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.”可知,一些语言专家认为,一万年前,当世界上只有500万到1 000万人时,他们之间可能说12 000种语言。由此可推断,采猎文明时期的语言种类很多。A项曲解文意,文中提到采猎文明时期语言很多,但这不代表语言发展快。C、D两项颠倒是非,根据第一段中“small,tightly knit(联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other”可知,这些语言是相互独立的,不具有相似模式,语言间也没有密切联系。

25.Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in paragraph 2?  C  

A.Complex. B.Advanced.

C.Powerful. D.Modern.

解析:词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“...all have caused many languages to disappear,and dominant languages such as English,Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.”可知,人类社会发展的很多因素导致许多语言消失,而逐渐被如英语、西班牙语、汉语等语言取代,这就暗示出这些语言是“占优势的”,故选C项powerful(强大的,有影响力的)。complex复杂的;advanced先进的;modern现代的。

26.How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present?  B  

A.About 6,800. B.About 3,400.

C.About 2,400. D.About 1,200.

解析:数字计算题。根据第三段中的“At present,the world has about 6,800 languages.”可知,目前世界上有大约6 800种语言;再根据“The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000,which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.”可知,目前世界上一半的语言的使用人数少于6 000,也就是说有大约3 400种语言的使用人数少于6 000。

27.What is the main idea of the text?  C  

A.New languages will be created.

B.People's lifestyles  are reflected in languages.

C.Human development results in fewer languages.

D.Geography determines language evolution.

解析:主旨大意题。文章介绍了语言的种类随着人类社会的发展而逐渐减少这一现象,故C项概括全面。A项颠倒是非,文章介绍的是语言的减少而不是新语言的创造。B、D两项无中生有,文中没有提到人们的生活方式会反映到语言上,也没有提到地理决定语言的发展。
