海南,三亚
海南是暑假出游的一个好选择。海南是指“海之南”,四季都很温暖。人们经常在夏日去海南,因为那儿的好天气,只要你想,你随时可以去游泳和去沙滩玩耍。一些老人每年冬天都会去海南,我们称他们为“候鸟”。
三亚被称为“东方夏威夷”,它是海南最著名的地方。人们在三亚可以呼吸新鲜的空气和潜水。同时,三亚也有许多热带植物。

The Great Barrier Reef, Australia
澳大利亚,大堡礁
The Great Barrier Reef, off the1)coastof northeastern Australia, is the world’s biggest and longestcoral reef[珊瑚礁], and a2)marvelof nature that theAussies[澳大利亚人]are most proud of. The Great Barrier Reef can be seen from outer space and is the world’s biggest single structure made by living3)organisms.
The reef is a very popular destination for tourists, especially in the Whitsunday Islands and Cairns regions. The multitude ofmarine species[海洋物种]and the4)pristinewater make it a paradise for5)diversfrom all over the world. You can catch a yacht,learn a few diving tips, and get a really close look at the Great Barrier Reef.
Maybe you have no experience ofscuba diving[水肺潜水] or snorkeled[(潜水者的)呼吸管]before, but you must be able to use6)straw,like for drinking. This is how we use our air source. So that is the same method. If you can use a straw, you can scuba dive.
1) coast [kəʊst] n.海岸
2) marvel ['mɑ:və] n.奇迹
3) organism ['ɔ:gənɪzəm] n.有机体;生物体
4) pristine ['prɪsti:n] adj.洁净的;一尘不染的
5) dive [daɪv] vi.潜水;跳水
6) straw [strɔ:] n.吸管
7) pinch [pɪntʃ] vt.捏
Once you feel a little bit not right in your ear, you have to7)pinchyour nose, and thenbreathe out[呼气]gently.Then you can pop your ear. That is theequalization[均衡].To make sure you can communicate in the water, you also have to know somehand signals[手势].
In the water, we are not supposed to touch anything, not even a rock or coral, or any fishes. It’s not a gift shop. This is not a chance for you to bring something home to show your mom and dad. Leave it as it is. We are guests in their home. Is that correct?
位于澳大利亚东北部的大堡礁,是世界最大最长的珊瑚礁群,也是澳大利亚人最引以为豪的天然景观。大堡礁是由数十亿只微小的珊瑚虫所建构成,是生物所建造的最大物体,就算在外太空也能看到。
大堡礁也是个相当热门的观光景点,特别是在降灵群岛及凯恩斯地区。这里海洋物种丰富,水质清澈,是世界著名的潜水天堂。你可以搭乘游艇,学习潜水技能,踏上深入观赏大堡礁之旅。
或许你之前没玩过水肺潜水和通气管潜泳,但是你肯定会用吸管喝饮料。我们获取空气也是同样的原理,方法都是一样的。只要你会用吸管,就能学会水肺潜水。
一旦你感觉耳朵不太舒服,就捏住鼻子,然后轻轻用鼻子呼气。然后耳朵就“啵”地一声通了。这样就实现了耳压平衡。为了确保你们在水下可以沟通,你还得学一些手势。
在水下,什么都别碰,连一块岩石或一片珊瑚都不行,任何鱼也不行,海洋不是礼品店。潜水又不是为了让你带点纪念品回家给爸妈看的。让海洋保持原样吧。我们只不过是来访的客人。对吗?
The latest survey of the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia8)revealsthat an9)averageof 35 percent of coral is now dead or dying in the northern and central sections.
10)Expertsfrom James Cook University say it’s the most11)extremecase of mass bleaching they have ever measured at the World Heritage Site.
So in the last 30 years or so, we’ve seenunprecedented[前所未有的] 12)episodesof13)massbleaching[漂白,使变白]that is very strongly linked to global warming.
13) mass [mæs] n.大量
有关澳大利亚沿海大堡礁的最新调查显示:北部和中部平均有35%的珊瑚现在已经死亡或即将死亡。
来自詹姆斯库克大学的专家称,这是他们目前在世界遗产地测出大量白化的最极端的例子。
在过去的大概30年里,我们见证了前所未有的大量白化现象,这和全球变暖有强烈的关联。
写作点拨
如何向他人介绍一个你觉得值得游览的地方?
1. 常备句型:There be...;You can...;If you...,you will / can...;
2.文章要素:地理位置、天气气候、人文背景、奇闻趣事、环境风景、娱乐项目、美食、亲身经历等等;

世界地位:“the world’s biggest and longest coral reef”;
国家地位:“a marvel of nature that the Aussies are most proud of”;
本文第二段承上启下,为第三、第四段的潜水活动介绍做铺垫;
第五段作为文章总结与情感升华,提出“保护海洋生态”这一忠告,使整篇文章结构完整、感情饱满。

在很多海滨景区都有潜水项目,不过潜水可不是大家所理解的“带上装备跳进水里就行”。首先我们来看看水肺潜水的不同类型吧。
(1)休闲潜水(Recreational Diving)
以观光为主,可以看珊瑚看鱼,一般在30米之内。
(2)技术潜水(Technical Diving)
技术潜水涉及的门类较多,有人专注探索更深海的领域,有人偏好沉船、洞穴,有人运用公共安全知识求人等等。
(3)工业潜水(Commercial Diving)
这是专门为了生产活动而存在的类型。比如海洋石油勘探、海地钻井等。工业潜水在水肺潜水的三种类型中,是下潜深度最大、装备最复杂的一种。
