第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

Canyoning (蹦谷运动)

The sports of canyoning explore the high-energy environment where water meets rock on the

coast, or in river canyons. Protected by wetsuits and helmets (头盔), people jump from cliffs

(悬崖) and waterfalls and explore caves and river canyons that would not normally be arrived

at.

It was pioneered in the U.K. by TYF Adventure (01437 721611, ) and several

thousand people leap from the cliffs near St David’s each year. A half day canyoning trip

costs ￡50 (￡30 for children under 16).

Scuba diving 3 Diving is not popular with British people. The challenges of wild waters are greater because

the water is colder and not clear enough, but the coasts of Cornwall, Wales and Scotland

have some of the best wreck diving in the world.

The British Sub Aqua Club (0870 112 9133 ) and the Professional Association

of Diving Instructors (01580 819688 ) run courses teaching the important skills

right up and to instructor level.

Surfing

The best surfing places in the UK are on the southwest coast where it is warmer and the

surf is relatively steady, particularly in Cornwall. The best time of year to surf in the

UK is late summer and autumn when water temperatures are at their mildest.
