考点规范练35(选修7 Unit 5) .阅读理解 In the summer of 2002,my husband Brian and I fancied a lakeside holiday in Europe,and came across a package holiday in Hungary(匈牙利),on Lake Balaton. Curiosity got the better of us.With no further information,we put our trust in the travel company,and were transferred to the southern tip of Lake Balaton.We were the only British guests,the rest being German,Austrian and Hungarian.The hotel was fine,the weather was hot and the lake was very warm. There were few tourist attractions locally,but the hotel receptionist(the only English speaker in the hotel) suggested we visit the nearby town of Hévíz,noted for its spa(矿泉) and lake.In spite of our lack of language skills,we boarded the local bus and,half an hour later,arrived in the small town square. With no signposts to follow in English,we followed a group of people carrying bags and towels.Moments later,we entered the huge wooden entrance gates to the park and lake,and were transported back a whole century as we came upon the lake and the delightful ancient wooden structure.The lake covers an area of about an acre surrounded by grassy banks and is an impressive 110 feet deep with a constant temperature of 39℃.Its edges are covered in water lilies(睡莲).Once changed,like most other swimmers,we were given an industrial-sized rubber ring.You can lie back in this rubber ring and gently move among the water lilies in the warm water. |
