There are dinosaurs in abundance along Dorset and East Devon’s spectacular Jurassic Coast. Frequently proclaimed as "
walking with dinosaurs
" or a "walk through time" the section of the South West Coast Path which stretches from Studland Bay in Dorset to Exmouth in Devon is nothing if not dramatic. There are sections of the walk—such as the lush jungle-like undercliff between Seaton and Lyme Regis—which are pure Jurassic Park. At any moment you half expect a fearsome creature to stamp out of the swamp and ferns.
But it’s the sense of natural history, geology and the sheer varied beauty of the coastline that makes this a walkers’ paradise. The Jurassic Coast represents 185 million years of earth history in just 95 miles. The red cliffs of East Devon date back some 240 million years to the Triassic period when vast deserts covered the area.
A fossil walk is one way of getting hands-on experience of the landscape’s geology. Brandon Lennon is a professional fossil collector who runs guided tours. The walks are planned around safe tides and only last a few hours so one can be easily incorporated into a longer walk. According to Lennon, because of a relatively calm winter this year there have been few landslips and subsequently not much erosion which loosens the fossils on to the beach. But on the weekend that I visited in May, someone still managed to find part of the vertebrae of an ichthyosaur and an ammonite.
There are also other guides who will help you plan a walking trip along parts or all of the Jurassic Coast. At the Devon end, Simon Gooch has just launched Jurassic Coast Tours. He offers tailor-made advice to walkers and is happy to lend out rucksacks, binoculars and drop and pick up guests in his minibus—a useful service if you don’t want to have to wait for the bus or burden yourself with the rucksack while walking along the coast.
However, if you’re going it alone, here’s an idea. Take the slow train to Dorchester or Axminster. Get picked up from the station by the walker-friendly people at the Bull Hotel in Bridport—if you can get a bed at this increasingly popular boutique hotel. From here you can walk a mile out of town along the river to West Bay and turn right to Lyme Regis or left towards Burton Bradstock and Chesil Beach. Alternatively a member of staff will drop you off somewhere along the Jurassic Coast and you can make your own way back to the hotel. The deal is you take the Bull’s resident spaniel Lulu with you.
If you go to Jurassic Coast by yourself, the author may suggest you avoid
选项
A、calling a taxi to pick you up to the Bull Hotel.
B、reserving a room in the Bull Hotel in advance because it is very popular.
C、taking a walk along Jurassic Coast for a while and coming back to the Bull Hotel by yourself.
D、going out with the company of a dog in the Bull Hotel.
答案
A
解析
如果你要独自去侏罗纪海岸,本文的作者可能会建议你不要[A]叫一辆出租车接你到公牛旅馆。[B]提前在公牛旅馆预订房间,因为这家旅馆非常受欢迎。[C]沿着侏罗纪海岸散散步,然后独自回到公牛旅馆。[D]和公牛旅馆的狗一起出去。注意题干要求选出作者不建议的那种做法。[A]提到坐出租车到公牛旅馆,与文中不符。[B]根据作者提到的该旅馆越来越受欢迎,可以推断肯定床位紧张,因此作者建议游客提前预订房间;[C]可以从倒数第二句话验证为符合文意。最后一句话中的spaniel意为“一种矮小体形至中等体形的狗”,因此[D]也符合文意。故[A]为正确答案。
