Not far off the Pacific coast in the Costa Rican jungle, a community has taken to the trees to craft a new, sustainable life off the grid and away from urbanity(文雅). Finca Bellavista is a community of long-term residents and travel guests housed in a network of tree houses built right into the rain forest. Perched above the forest floor, these tree houses are connected by zip lines and sky bridges, accessible by stairs and ladders from the ground level. It’s the Swiss Family Robinson come alive, created by two dreamers who had enough of on-grid living in the United States.
Founders Matthew and Erica Hogan created Finca Bellavista not as their own private escape, but as an evolving community that is continuing to attract traveling guests and established residents alike. Plots are available for purchase in the community where new residents can craft their own tree houses and join the growing number of residents. Visitors can choose from a number of existing rentals for short or long-term stays, perfect for those who need a temporary getaway from modernized life.
That’s not to say that modern touches aren’t available at Finca Bellavista. Limited electricity, hot showers and even WiFi are available, primarily at the Finca Bellavista community center. While many of the raised structures are connected by zip lines only, the community is continuing to develop a sky bridge that currently connects a smaller cluster of tree houses. As new residents get involved, more of these developments are produced by the community.
The nature around Finca Bellavista is the central focus of community life. Two rivers run along the community property with crystal clear water and large, flowing waterfalls that often encourage visitors to dive in. The ocean is a hike from the community, and a small rural town is just a mile-and-a-half away. But the most valued experience of life at Finca Bellavista is the environment directly within the forest itself. Wild lizards, birds and monkeys share the plot with its human inhabitants, providing for a very different experience than your standard house pet.
What needs developing in Finca Bellavista?
选项
A、Network connection.
B、Electricity supply.
C、Sky bridges.
D、Zip lines.
答案
C
解析
第3段第3句提到Finca Bellavista社区的很多树屋只有铁链(are connected by zip lines only),空中桥梁目前只连接着一小群树屋,而句中的is continuing to develop表明空中桥梁就是需要不断改善和发展的东西,据此,本题应选C。最具干扰性的是B,第3段第2句开头的limited electricity容易让人觉得电供应不足,需要改善,但Finca Bellavista社区的特点就是要尽量远离高度发达的现代社会,limitedelectricity正好体现其“可持续发展”的特点。因此,电的供应不可能是需要改善的方面。
