Vanuatu is an island nation in the South Pacific. It is one of the smallest countries in the world. But for those who are interested in adventure and sport, there is a lot to do. Some of the best swimming, snorkeling and sea kayaking can be found here. Vanuatu’s islands offer visitors two of the most exciting and dangerous activities in the world: volcano(火山) surfing and land diving.
Volcano Surfing
On Tanna Island, Mount Yasur rises more than 300 meters into the sky. Yasur is an active volcano, and it erupts(爆发) almost every day, sometimes several times a day. For centuries, people have climbed this mountain to visit the top. Recently, people have also started climbing Yasur to surf the volcano. In some ways, volcano surfing is like surfing in the sea, but in other ways it’s very different. Volcano surfers try to escape the erupting volcano—without getting hit by flying rocks! It’s fast, fun and dangerous—the perfect extreme sport (极限运动).
Land Diving
Most people are familiar with bungee jumping, but do you know bungee jumping started on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu and is almost fifteen centuries old? The original activity, first called land diving, is part of a religious ceremony. A man ties tree vines (树藤) to his legs. He then jumps headfirst from a high tower to touch the earth with the top of his head—without breaking the vine or hitting the earth hard. Every spring, island natives (men only) still take part in this amazing test of bravery.
How are volcano surfing and land diving similar?
选项
A、Both are old sports.
B、Both are extreme activities.
C、Both are religious ceremonies.
D、Both men and women do them.
答案
B
解析
根据第一段最后一句“…two of the most exciting and dangerous activities in the world: volcano(火山) surfing and land diving. ”、第二段最后一句…It s fast, fun…extreme sport. ”和最后一段内容可知,火山冲浪和陆地俯冲的相似之处在于它们都是极限运动,所以B项正确。根据第二段第四句“Recently, people have also started climbing Yasur to surf the volcano. ”和最后一段第一句“…is almost fifteen centuries old?”可知,火山冲浪是一项最近发展的新运动,而陆地俯冲是已经存在了大概十五个世纪的古老运动,所以A项不正确;根据第二段内容和最后一段第二句“The original activity, first called land diving, is part of a religious ceremony. ”可知,陆地俯冲是宗教仪式的一部分,但文中并没有提到火山冲浪是宗教仪式,所以C项不正确;根据最后一段最后一句“Every spring, island natives (men only) still take part in this amazing test of bravery. ”可知,只有男性参加陆地俯冲,而文中没有提到火山冲浪参与者的性别,所以D项不正确。故选B。
