【文章大意】本文介绍了一个野生动物的乐园GalapagosIslands,达尔文曾在这儿受到启发

写出了《物种起源》一书，尽管时间、数量受政府控制，但可以和动物密切接触，由于

这儿保护得很好，直到现在依然是旅游的好去处。

68.【解析】选A。事实细节题。第一段第三句话告诉我们他在岛上住了五周，观察各种各

样的动物。这最终启发了池写出名著《物种起源》所以A项正确。排除了B项“在岛上完

成了著名著作,只是受到启发”；C项“被岛上的地表特征所打动”，文中没提到，和D项

“被岛上的动物迷住了”，与文中observing意思不相符,

69•【解析】选Co事实细节题。文章第二段第一句话告诉我们岛上没有天敌，船和游客的

数最都在政府控制中，尽管你不能像200年前的达尔文那样随意走动，但是每一天对你来说

都会留下很深的印象。得出C项“既人们不能随便参观这个岛”。选项A“动物以草为食”，

文中没提到。选项B“政府禁止捕杀野生动物"与"thereisnonaturalkiller和船的数量受

政府控制”不一致。D项与倒数第二段的内容不相符合,

70.【解析】选Co倒数第二段告诉我们作为一系列无与伦比的画面，你将永远记住这一段

时间与海豹，鲸鱼和鲨鱼的近距离接触。所以C项正确。

71.【解析】选A。主旨大意题。文章以岛上的野生动物为主线来说这个地方的迷人之处和

独特的价值，从而体现了野生动物爱好者们的作用。所以选A“野生动物爱好者们的一个

独特的地方”。
