Question

Every year, many people travel to Tanzania（坦桑尼亚）to see the animals there. But do you know how they travel around?

The most common way is traveling by bus, but when people get on a bus in Tanzania, they’ll find it's different from the buses we often use. The windows are so small that the bus looks like a cage. This kind of bus is safe when people go to see dangerous animals and take pictures.

Many people like to travel by boat on the rivers or lakes. They can enjoy Tanzania’s natural beauty and see the animals in the cool water from a nearest distance(距离).

The most unusual way is traveling by hot-air balloon(热气球). A hot-air balloon starts its tour early in the morning when the sun rises. It takes visitors high into the sky and shows them the beauty of Tanzania from the air. It makes people excited (兴奋的) to take a hot-air balloon, but the trip is very expensive (贵的): 400 dollars for one person for just one hour.

试题分析：这篇短文给我们讲述的是很多人都去坦桑尼亚旅行，在坦桑尼亚旅行的时候，有很多不同的方式，如乘坐公共汽车、乘船、或乘坐热气球等。

1.A 细节理解题。根据短文的开头可知，很多人都去坦桑尼亚去旅行，根据第二段中The most common way is traveling by bus可知，去那里最普遍的方式是乘坐公共汽车，故应选A。

2.A 细节理解题。根据短文第二段中they’ll find it's different from the buses we often use. The windows are so small that the bus looks like a cage. This kind of bus is safe when people go to see dangerous animals and take pictures.可知，人们去坦桑尼亚乘坐的公共汽车和我们经常做的公共汽车很不一样，它看起来像一个笼子。这样是为了人们在参观危险的动物的时候，能够保证安全。由此可知选A。

3.B 细节理解题。根据短文短文第三段中Many people like to travel by boat on the rivers or lakes. They can enjoy Tanzania’s natural beauty and see the animals in the cool water可知，人们乘船去欣赏坦桑尼亚的自然美景，观看水里的动物。由此可知选B。

4.B推理判断题。根据短文第二段中This kind of bus is safe when people go to see dangerous animals and take pictures可知，乘坐那种公共汽车去参观动物或拍照，可以使人们比较安全，由此可知B选项是不对的。根据It makes people excited (兴奋的) to take a hot-air balloon, but the trip is very expensive可知A是不对的；根据短文的意思可知，在坦桑尼亚参观，有很多不同的参观的方式，如乘坐公交车、乘船、热气球等等。因此C选项是对的。

5.主旨大意题。短文的第一段是中心段，点明了文章的主题，But do you know how they travel around?，接下来给我们讲述了在坦桑尼亚旅行的不同的方式，如乘坐公共汽车、乘船、或乘坐热气球等。因此B选项能概括短文的大意，故应选B。
