A

Many wealthy and well­traveled people want a completely new experience, but they don't necessarily want to give up luxury accommodations and service. The following vacations could be best choices.

Cruise down the Amazon River

Aqua Expeditions takes up to 32 passengers at a time on guided journeys of three, four, or seven days down the Amazon River. Those adventurers see forests and waterfalls, visit local fish markets, and take canoe trips. They also take in wildlife such as capuchin monkeys and river dolphins.

Go Glamping in Montana

The Resort at Paws Up located on a cattle ranch (牧场) is a standout in the type. The ranch rents homes with up to four bedrooms, but it's the luxury tents that offer closer communion with the outdoors. Tents are arranged into camps, each of which has a private chef and butler, the latter of whom helps build campfires and arrange daytime activities. Guests can participate in a cattle drive, go clay shooting, take a hot air balloon trip, or ride horses.

Climb inside a Volcano in Iceland

Iceland is famous for its volcanoes and has plenty of luxury hotel options. Thrill­seekers can actually go down into the dormant (休眠的), 700­foot­deep Thrihnukagigur, by using an open elevator. Take a helicopter if you want to skip the 2­mile hike to the volcano, and arrange a private tour to avoid crowds. And visitors traveling there can enjoy the luxury hotel such as the ION Luxury Adventure Hotel and the Hotel Rangá.

1．What can adventurers do when traveling down the Amazon River?

A．Enjoy individually­guided tours.

B．Travel with hot air balloons.

C．Get a chance to see wildlife.

D．Ride horses along the trail.

详细分析：选C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They also take in wildlife such as capuchin monkeys and river dolphins”可知，沿着亚马逊河旅游的人可以有机会观看野生动物，故选C。

2．At which place can guests enjoy food quite to their taste?

A．Aqua Expeditions. B．The Resort at Paws Up.

C．Thrihnukagigur D．The Hotel Rangá.

详细分析：选B　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“each of which has a private chef”可知，在The Resort at Paws Up，每个营地都配有私人厨师，由此可知，游客在这里可吃到非常符合自己口味的食物，故选B。

3．What do the three vacations have in common?

A．They are adventurous.

B．They are animal­centered.

C．They have luxury hotel options.

D．They are intended for new travelers.

详细分析：选A　推理判断题。第一个项目提到“adventurers”，第二个项目提到“take a hot air balloon trip, or ride horses”，第三个项目提到寻求刺激的人可以下到700英尺深的休眠火山中。故这三个项目的共同点就是：adventurous“惊险的，刺激的”。

B

When he was 22, Rob Stewart traveled the world for four years. He wanted to call attention to the mistreatment of sharks. His 2007 film, Sharkwater, documents the cruel practice of removing sharks' fins (鳍) for money and leaving the animals to die. In his latest documentary, Revolution, Stewart takes on an even bigger challenge: climate change.

The Canadian filmmaker says that climate change has harmed people and places everywhere: “It is stronger than any government or organization. If we educate people, they will make better decisions about protecting natural resources.”

According to a recent report on climate change, “The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have reduced, and the sea levels have risen.” These developments are endangering crops, wildlife, fish, and even people.

Stewart says that the consequences of climate change will be irreversible unless people take action, especially young people. “It's up to kids to be the moral compass (道德指南) of society，” he believes, “and say, ‘Guys, this is not right.’”

Many kids took action after seeing Sharkwater. Elementary school students in the Northern Mariana Islands, for example, got their local government to ban the sale of shark fins.

Felix Finkbeiner, 17, of Germany is also part of the “revolution” to save the planet. In 2007, Felix started a youth group called Plant­for­the­Planet, whose motto is “Stop Talking. Start Planting.” The group raises money to plant trees. So far, Plant for the Planet has planted nearly 200 trees around the world. “Future generations are the ones who will be suffering the most from inaction (无作为)，” Felix says. His goal is to plant millions of additional trees.

“When we started four years ago，” Felix tells Stewart in Revolution, “we thought we had to save the polar bear. We thought we had to save the environment. But soon after, we found out that it's about our future, that we have to save our own future.”

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了电影制作人Rob Stewart为保护环境所作出的努力以及他对年轻人的影响。
