问题    Vancouver (温哥华) is a cosmopolitan (世界性的) city of stunning beauty.
   Set between the waters of the Strait of Georgia and the Coast Mountains, Vancouver is a place of tremendous physical beauty.  Few other places in North America offer the attractions of a truly cosmopolitan city so close to such a wide range of natural wonders.
   You can take advantage of the city’s pleasing mid-70s summer weather with a walk or bike ride through the city’s 1,000 - acre Stanley Park, located on a peninsula just off the downtown business district.  A mere 15-minute drive from downtown gets you to Grouse Mountain, which you can climb by foot or aerial tram for a spectacular one-mile-high view of the city and its surroundings.  Another worthwhile day trip is the 1.5 hours ferry ride to the seaside town of Victoria, on Vancouver Island, with its lush gardens and 19th century architecture.  July and August are the best months to catch a close up view of orcas migrating north through the gulf waters off Vancouver.  And two hours from the city is the Whistler-Backcomb ski resort, North America’s largest, which has great off-season prices, a full range of outdoor activities and even summer glacier skiing.
   Vancouver is home to North America’s third largest Chinatown.  The city’s rich Asian culture also lets you take in sights that you can’t find elsewhere on this continent, like the not-to-be-missed Dr. Sun Yat-sen Classical Chinese Garden, which is the only Ming Dynasty style garden outside China.
选项 A、a city of great natural beauty and rich Asian culture
B、a city lying among the Great Lakes
C、the only city in North America that has a Chinatown
D、the only city in North America that has natural beauty
答案A
解析 本题为判断题。选项A中的“natural beauty”体现在第二段第一句中的“Vancouver is a place of tremendous physical beauty．”“rich Asian culture”体现在第四段第二句中的“The city’s rich Asian culture also lets you take in sights that…”，因此选项A正确；选项B中该城市地理位置的介绍与第二段第一句“Set between the waters of the Strait of Georgia and the Coast Mountains”不符；选项C“北美唯一拥有中国城的国家”与最后一段第一句中的“third largest Chinatown”不符；第二段第二句“Few other places in North America offer the attractions of a truly cosmopolitan city so close to such a wide range of natural wonders．” 说明很少有大城市拥有像温哥华一样的美丽自然风光，但温哥华并不是唯一城市。D项因有“only”这个绝对词汇而被排除。
