二、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共37.5分）

A

Wales is home to some of the UK's most beautiful drives.Narrow lanes criss-cross the land,meaning travel can be slow-but there's no need to rush.

The Coastal Way

This route（路线）covers the entire length of Cardigan Bay,and spoils travelers with its remote beaches and charming seaside towns.

Comb the sand for fossils,shells at Aberdaron Beach,and then hit the road,heading east

toward Porthmadog.Here you can hop on a heritage steam rain,a relic of the region's

mining history,to give Snowdonia's skyline your undivided attention.

The Cambrian Way

The Cambrian Way,which cuts north to south through the heart of Wales,is a fantastic place,thanks to its patchwork fields,dense forests and rolling,sheep-dotted hills.

The route becomes increasingly wild and rough as it weaves north into Powys.Spend the night in Rhayader,and you'll need plenty of energy for hiking or mountain biking along the trails.

The North Wales Way

Spanning Wales' short but scenic north coast,this route offers road trippers a chance to encounter Welsh history,language and culture in a splendid sting.

Head west through the uncrowded Clwydian Hills until you reach Ruthin,a little town brimming with history,where you can see its restored castle,century-spanning museum and Victorian Ruthin Gaol.

Border Country

Tracing the dotted line that separates England and Wales on a map,this border-hugging route will take you to some of Wales' most underrated sites slowly,if you stick to the

narrow back roads.

Staring in the border town of Chepstow in Southeast Wales,make your way

northward.You can stop to admire the roofless ruins of Tintern Abbey and lesser-known castles Skenfrith and Grosmont.
