50、 an oar raft or motorized trip.”一致，B項(xiàng)與文中的“Requiring a hike in or out .”一致，C項(xiàng)與文中的“.the horse ride up or down is also an option.”吻合，只有D項(xiàng)swimming entertainment文中沒有提到。3B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的“Most trips occur between April and October.”可知，B項(xiàng)February是旅游淡季。4A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章后半部分可知，只有A項(xiàng)calling at it in person文中沒有提及。B【解題導(dǎo)
51、語】 Body Image是個(gè)體對(duì)自己整個(gè)身體的看法和態(tài)度，是一種“個(gè)體對(duì)自己身體的獨(dú)特感知”。5D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段尤其是最后一句“So how a guy feels about his body can affect how he feels about himself.”可推出D項(xiàng)正確。6D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“Just exploring talents that you feel good about can help your selfrespect and how you think of yourself.”可知，D項(xiàng)正確。7B推理判斷題。倒數(shù)第二段主要說明好的
