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.
Which of the following words best describes the life in Finca Bellavista community?
选项
A、Natural.
B、Barbaric.
C、Novel.
D、Interesting.
答案
A
解析
本题要求找出最适合描述Finca Bellavista社区生活的词。全文介绍了该社区的居民将家安在树上,远离都市的喧嚣,与自然为伍。从第2段中的a temporary getaway from modernized life以及最后一段讲到生活在树屋社区中,能够与蜥蜴、各种鸟以及猴子等为伴,因此A“自然的”是该社区最大的特点。B“野蛮的;粗野的”明显带贬义,不符合文章的感情色彩;C“新颖的”和D“有趣的”均没有涉及到树屋社区生活的实质。
