A.Becauseithasenoughlightinit.

B•Becauseithasthemostbeautifulscenery.

C.Becauseitissurroundedbyclearwaters.

D.Becauseboatsareonlyavailableatsunset.

解析：细节理解题。由MarbleCaves中的“Thebesttimetovisit:duringsunriseand

sunset,whenthesun'srayslightupthecavewalls,makingitanexperiencetoremember.“可知，

游览的最佳时间：日出和日落时，太阳的光线照亮洞穴的墙壁，使之成为一种值得记忆的

体验。之所以日落是参观MarbleCaves的最佳时间是因为那个时候，洞里面有足够的光。

故A项正确。

答案：A

2.Whichcavewillyougotoifyouwanttoenjoythestrangesound?

A.ReedFluteCave.B.MarbleCaves.

C.TheBlueGrotto.D.Fingal'sCave.

解析：细节理解题。由Fingal'sCave中的“Thecave'ssize,shape,andnaturally-arched

roofcombinewiththewavestocreatestrangesoundsthatenhanceitscathedral-like

atmosphere.w可知，这个洞穴的大小、形状和自然的拱形屋顶与波浪相结合，创造出奇

怪的声音，增加了如同大教堂般氛围的吸引力。所以如果你喜欢奇怪的声音，你可以去

FingafsCave。故D项正确。

答案：D

3.WhatisspecialabouttheBlueGrotto?

A.Clearwaters.

B.Variousbirdsandanimals.

C.Brightbluelight.

D.Strangeshapes.

解析：细节理解题。由TheBlueGrotto中的“Thiscaveisuniqueforitsbrilliantbluelight

whichcomesfromtwosources:theentrancetothecaveandabiggerholebeneaththeentrance.^^

可知，这个洞穴是独一无二的，因为它明亮的蓝光来自两个源头：洞穴的入口和入口下面

的一个更大的洞。所以BlueGrotto的特别之处在于它明亮的蓝色的光。故C项正确。

答案：C
