Royal National Park
Established in 1879，the Royal is the world’s second-oldest national park.Located an hour’s drive south of Sydney，the beaches are unspoilt，crowd-free and great for surfing or swimming.There’s dramatic scenery along the way with a range of unique heritage attractions.Bushwalking，boating，canoeing and fishing are also popular activities.
Featherdale Wildlife Park
Located 45 minutes west of Sydney，Featherdale has the world’s largest collection of Australian native birds，mammals(哺乳动物) and reptiles(爬行动物).Situated in a bushland environment，Featherdale provides a unique opportunity for up-close animal interactions(交往).Hand-feed a kangaroo，have breakfast with a koala and check out a huge variety of species including dingoes，emus，penguins and more.

话题：文娱难度星级：☆
(2018·河北保定二模)
Watching wooden dolls come to life may not be one of the most popular forms of entertainment today，but with over twenty years’ experience，talented puppeteer(木偶表演者) Peter Roberts has earned himself the title “master puppeteer”because of his great ability to turn puppets into believable，almost living characters.“People are quite often surprised to hear what I do for living and have little appreciation of puppetry as a form of entertainment.But while the exact origins of puppet theatre are unknown，it has been popular in many cultures and may have been the very first kind of theatre，” he explains.
Roberts’ shows are highly original.“A puppet show can involve anything from clowning(插科打诨) to storytelling，”he says.Equally diverse are the audiences he performs for.“Some are attracted by the puppets themselves，while others enjoy the dialogue.” Roberts believes that this form of entertainment can be appreciated by people of all ages and cultures.
Roberts’ interest in puppets started when he received some beautiful glove puppets one Christmas.He started putting on shows with these for family and friends and then moved on to handmade Chinese string puppets.Learning mostly from books and personal experience，he explains，“I was already spending most of my free time carving puppets and putting on shows，so I hardly noticed the change from students to full-time professional puppeteers.”
The puppets are designed specifically for each show，which is extremely time-consuming.According to Roberts，“Sometimes what you expect and what you actually create in the end are two very different things.I’ve made some of my best puppets accidentally.”
When most people hear the word “puppetry”，they more than likely think of a way of keeping children entertained at birthday parties.Certainly the subject matter will be expected to be light-hearted rather than serious.However，Roberts wants to point out that puppet theatre can often be used as an effective educational tool.“Through the mouths of puppets come serious messages sometimes，” he says.
4.What do we know about puppetry in the first paragraph?
A.It is a most popular form of entertainment.
B.It cannot give people pleasure any more.
C.It was first brought to life by Peter Roberts.
D.Its value as an art form is not fully recognized.
答案 D
解析细节理解题。

根据第一段中的“People are quite often surprised to hear what I do for living and have little appreciation of puppetry as a form of entertainment.”可知，人们很少把木偶戏看作是一种娱乐形式来欣赏。

分析选项可知D项(它作为一种艺术形式没有被充分认可)符合题意，故选D项。

5.In Roberts’ eyes，his puppet shows .
ually attract people full of humor
B.are most suitable for old-aged audience
C.display something meaningful for different people
D.involve hard work and great intelligence
答案 C
解析推理判断题。

根据第二段内容可知，罗伯特认为这种形式的娱乐可以被各个年龄段和文化的人所欣赏。

由此可判断，罗伯特的木偶戏为不同的人展示一些有意义的东西。

分析选项可知C项符合题意，故选C项。

6.Roberts developed an interest in puppets because of .
A.the puppet show books

Encouraging life to bloom(兴旺) in the middle of a desert is no easy task.But one company in the United Arab Emirates has come up with a plan to provide drinking water for the state’s citizens.The company intends to drag icebergs from Antarctica to the gulf coast in order to harvest its fresh water.

The company’s director says they have already traveled the transportation route and checked the possibility of the scheme，according to reports in Gulf Ne w s.Speaking to the site about what he is calling the UAE Iceberg Project，Abdullah Mohammad Sulaiman Al Shehi said，“We have made the technical and financial plan.We want the project mainly for the water.It could also be good for tourism and the weather.”
The UAE is one of the driest countries in the world，due to its extremely arid climate，which receives less than four inches of rainfall per year.Despite that，it consumes more water than double the global national average，putting the country at severe risk of droughts over the next 25 years.
An average iceberg contains more than 20 billion gallons of water，according to the company.The iceberg takes a long time to melt as 80 percent of it is under water，while the white ice above reflects sunlight and deflects(使转向) its heat.Blocks of ice will be placed in giant tanks before being processed.“This is the purest water in the world，” Mr Al Shehi added.
