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.
The phrase "walking with dinosaurs"(Line 2, Paragraph 1)most probably means
选项
A、the section of the path was named by people as "walking with dinosaurs".
B、on this section of the South West Path, you can see dinosaur models.
C、the section is very dangerous, because there are some frightening animals coming out from aside.
D、there are dinosaurs’ fossils on this section of Path.
答案
D
解析
第一段第二行的短语walking with dinosaurs最可能的意思是[A]这一段步行道被人们命名为“与恐龙同行”。[B]在西南海岸步行道的这一段,你可以看见恐龙模型。[C]这一段步行道非常危险,因为会有一些可怕的动物从路旁窜出来。[D]在这一段步行道有恐龙的化石。根据该短语出处以及本文的主题“探寻恐龙遗迹”,walking with dinosaurs只是人们的一种感觉,或者是该地区推广旅游的口号,因此可以判断[D]正确。[A]并没有揭示该短语的含义.[B]提到了可以看到恐龙的模型,与文意不符;文中没有提到这段路程是否危险。所以可以排除[A]、[B]、[C],选[D]。
