There are dinosaurs in abundance along Dorset and East Devon’s spectacular Jurassic Coast. Frequently proclaimed as "
walking with dinosaurs
" or a "walk through time" the section of the South West Coast Path which stretches from Studland Bay in Dorset to Exmouth in Devon is nothing if not dramatic. There are sections of the walk—such as the lush jungle-like undercliff between Seaton and Lyme Regis—which are pure Jurassic Park. At any moment you half expect a fearsome creature to stamp out of the swamp and ferns.
But it’s the sense of natural history, geology and the sheer varied beauty of the coastline that makes this a walkers’ paradise. The Jurassic Coast represents 185 million years of earth history in just 95 miles. The red cliffs of East Devon date back some 240 million years to the Triassic period when vast deserts covered the area.
A fossil walk is one way of getting hands-on experience of the landscape’s geology. Brandon Lennon is a professional fossil collector who runs guided tours. The walks are planned around safe tides and only last a few hours so one can be easily incorporated into a longer walk. According to Lennon, because of a relatively calm winter this year there have been few landslips and subsequently not much erosion which loosens the fossils on to the beach. But on the weekend that I visited in May, someone still managed to find part of the vertebrae of an ichthyosaur and an ammonite.
There are also other guides who will help you plan a walking trip along parts or all of the Jurassic Coast. At the Devon end, Simon Gooch has just launched Jurassic Coast Tours. He offers tailor-made advice to walkers and is happy to lend out rucksacks, binoculars and drop and pick up guests in his minibus—a useful service if you don’t want to have to wait for the bus or burden yourself with the rucksack while walking along the coast.
However, if you’re going it alone, here’s an idea. Take the slow train to Dorchester or Axminster. Get picked up from the station by the walker-friendly people at the Bull Hotel in Bridport—if you can get a bed at this increasingly popular boutique hotel. From here you can walk a mile out of town along the river to West Bay and turn right to Lyme Regis or left towards Burton Bradstock and Chesil Beach. Alternatively a member of staff will drop you off somewhere along the Jurassic Coast and you can make your own way back to the hotel. The deal is you take the Bull’s resident spaniel Lulu with you.
According to Lennon, we can infer
选项
A、landslips are helpful to visitors while visiting Jurassic Coast.
B、the best time to visit Jurassic Coast is tide season.
C、bad weather can make dinosaur fossils loose, thus more difficult obtained by tourists.
D、finding dinosaur fossils can help tourists know more about the formation of the coast.
答案
D
解析
根据伦农的说法,我们可以推断出,[A]滑坡对于正在游览侏罗纪海岸的游客是有帮助的。[B]游览侏罗纪海岸的最佳时间是涨潮季节。[C]坏天气时恐龙化石更容易散落到海滩上,游客就更难发现化石了。[D]发现恐龙化石可以帮助游客了解更多有关海岸形成的情况。[A]“滑坡对于正在游览侏罗纪海岸的游客是有帮助的”显然不符合常理;从第三段第三句推断[B]错误;根据第三段倒数第二句可知[C]错误,因为坏天气使发现恐龙化石变得更容易了,而不是更难了;[D]对应第三段第一句,符合文意。
