Africa，but riding a horse through the flooded waters of Botswanas Okavango Delta must rank as one of the worlds most exciting wildlife journeys.Several safari camps operate as the base for this adventure，providing unique rides twice a day to explore deep into the delta.The camps have excellent horses，professional guides and lots of support workers.They have a reputation for providing a great riding experience.The morning ride，when the guides take you to beautiful，shallow lakes full of water lilies，tends to be more active.It is unlike any other riding experience.With rainbows forming in the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water bouncing off your body and face，it is truly exciting.You are very likely to come across large wild animals，too.On horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants，giraffes and many other animals.The sense of excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though，as does your heart rate，as you move closer to them.In the evening，rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace，with golden light streaming across the grassy delta and the animals coming out to eat and drink.Sedate though they are，rides at this time of day are still very impressive.As the suns rays pass through the dust kicked up by the horses，the romance of Africa comes to life.Back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine.Looking back on your day，you will find it hard to deny that a horseback safari is as close as you will ever come to answering the call of the wild.【语篇解读】旅游的方式有很多种，本文介绍的这种旅游方式非常独特。你能想象在非洲有野生动物出没的地方，你骑在马背上靠近观赏是什么样子吗？让我们跟随作者来一起领略这非凡难忘的大自然的野性之美吧。5What does the underlined word“They”refer to?AFlooded waters.BWildlife journeys.CSafari camps.DUnique rides.【解析】代词指代题。做代词指代题时一般应该从前文查找答案，画线代词所在句子与其前一句是并列的，前一个句子的主语是the camps，而the camps指前面提到的safari camps，故应该选择C项。【答案】C6What does the author find most exciting about a horseback safari?ASeeing and feeling the real African life.BEnjoying good food and wine at the camp.CHunting large animals just as our ancestors did.DBeing part of the scene and getting close to animals.【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段第三句With rainbows forming in the splashing water around you.和最后一句The sense of excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though，as does your heart rate，as you move closer to them.可知，作者发现骑马观赏野生动物最令人兴奋的是可以成为风景的一部分，并且可以近距离地观察那些野生动物。【答案】D7What does the underlined word“sedate”probably mean?AWild and romantic.BSlow and peaceful.CHungry and thirsty.DActive and excited.【解析】词义猜测题。画线词所在句子的句意为“虽然它们很 ，但是在一天的这个时候骑马观赏仍然是令人印象很深刻的”。根据猜测词义题可以从与所猜词语邻近的词语或句子寻找依据的原则，由前一句中的a more relaxed and unhurried pace(更加放松、不匆忙的步伐)可知选B。【答案】B8The author introduces the riding experience in the Okavango Delta mainly by Afollowing space orderBfollowing time orderCmaking classificationsDgiving examples【解析】推理判断题。A项意为“按空间顺序”，B项意为“按时间顺序”，C项意为“归类”，D项意为“举例”。根据文中出现的the morning ride，in the evening，at this time of day和looking back on your day可知，文章是按时间顺序进行描写的，所以选B项。【答案】B.短文改错 【导学号：15680042】Dear Angela，I am so happy to learn you are coming to study in our school and stay at my
