(2016辽宁沈阳东北育才学校高三上学期二模，D)
Imagine being given the opportunity to wake up to lions, eat your meals with monkeys, and even share your bath with bears, all from the comfort of a unique new lodging experience.
The Jamala Wildlife Lodge opened its doors in January 2015, which was set up in an effort to educate visitors about aiding the survival of many of the world's endangered species.
“It's great for the animals; they're going to get more space.It's great for the viewing public; they're going to get more things to see.It will be great for tourism and just for the local community，” said Richard Tindale, the owner and operator.
Spreading across three locations in the National Zoo, the 18 rooms, which range from giraffe tree houses to jungle bungalows, offer a fantastic experience with wildlife
The Giraffe Treehouse
The Giraffe Treehouse is set among the giraffe enclosures (围场), and the Jungle Bungalows are luxurious individual suites which are next to either lion, cheetah(猎豹), brown bear, or Malaysian sun bear enclosures.
The Ushaka House
Housing up to 26 people, the Ushaka House is built around the monkey enclosure and has a builtin aquarium which offers private views of some of the zoo's sharks.
The Burley Griffin House
Only meters from the edge of Lake Burley Griffin, the indoor and outdoor entertaining areas have splendid views across the lake to Black Mountain.
The Shark House
The Shark House has its own little jetty(码头) and it comes out over the shark tank here and so the people who stay in the room will be able to go to their bedroom and pat the shark.
Location
Located in the heart of Australia's political capital, the Jamala Wildlife Lodge at the National Zoo and Aquarium is just ten minutes from Canberra's central Business District.
()4.Which of the following is TRUE about the Jamala Wildlife Lodge?
A．The Jamala Wildlife Lodge lies in the heart of Canberra.
B．The Jamala Wildlife Lodge has a very long history.

()5.If a tourist wants to visit Lake Burley Griffin, he'd better choose ________.

()6.The purpose of writing the passage is to ________.

C．raise people's awareness of protecting animals
D．offer visitors an opportunity to play with sharks
【主旨大意】文章介绍了The Jamala Wildlife Lodge的各项活动，希望唤起人们对濒危动物的保护意识。
4．【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。 根据最后一段可知，该公园坐落于堪培拉市中心，所以A正确。根据第二段，该公园于2015年开放，所以B错误。根据第四段，而且该公园提供18个房间，在国家公园里面，所以C和D错误。
5．【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。 根据The Burley Griffin House部分，可知答案。
6．【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。 文章只是介绍该公园。如果选A，文章中应该出现游览时间、票价、交通方式等信息。
