Desert Valley Tours
Welcome to Desert Valley—A destination unlike any other!
 
Located just minutes away from downtown Hagerton, Desert Valley Tours offers a range of hiking and dining options to help you explore and enjoy the beautiful Desert Valley. Departing from the Desert Inn Hotel lobby, you can enjoy scenic views, delightful hiking adventures, or evening elegance. The choice is yours!
 
Full Day Tour
*The Desert Valley Grand Tour is by far our most popular. Enjoy breakfast at the charming Dessert Inn cafe, and then take a mid-day jeep ride and walkabout through the Hagerton Wilderness Area, where a light picnic lunch will be served. Finish the evening with dinner and drinks at the historic Old Horse Saloon in Frankton. The Desert Valley Tour bus will make a stop in downtown Hagertown before returning to the Desert Inn.
 
Mid-Day Tour
*Departing at 11:00 a.m., the Cactus Peak Day Hike offers beautiful panorama views of Desert Valley as you ramble to the summit of Cactus Peak. Afterwards you’ll stop by the historic Old Horse Saloon in historic Frankton for a late buffet lunch, beverages, and live entertainment before returning to downtown Hagerton via Bus 12.
 
Evening Tours
*The Desert Valley Skyline Tour is known for combining gorgeous views with first class convenience. Enjoy the leisurely ride to the top of the mountain on the sleek and comfortable Skyline Tramway. Savor a five-course meal at the luxurious Peak Pit Restaurant and watch the sun set over Desert Valley. The Desert Valley Tour bus will make a stop in downtown Hagertown before returning to the Desert Inn.
 
*For something different, try the Desert Moonlight Hike, offered Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in the spring and summer. Explore Desert Valley and Cactus Peak by night with guide Roger Rick! Tour departs at 5 p.m. Flashlights will be provided. Bus 12 will return you to downtown Hagerton.

1.
【解答】D
【中譯】哪一個行程不會提供任何食物或飲料?
(A) Desert Valley 豪華之旅
(B) Cactus Peak 日間健行之旅
(C) Desert Valley 天際線之旅
(D) 沙漠夜光健行之旅
【解析】
很快地將文章大略地掃瞄過一次,看到標題"Desert Valley Tours"就知道這是與旅遊團相關的文章,再看到三個標題(Full Day, Mid-Day, Evening)就可以預測至少會有三個不同時間點的旅遊活動。第一題問的是"Which tour does not include any food or beverages?",要找的焦點是「沒有」提供餐點或飲料的是哪個團?第一個"Full Day Tour"提供"a light picnic lunch",第二個"Mid-Day Tour"提供"a late buffet lunch",第三個"Evening Tour"提供"a five-course meal",而最後一段的"The Dessert Moonlight Hike"並沒有說會提供任何餐點,故(D)為正確答案。
 
2.
【解答】A
【中譯】參加行程的成員為何會需要搭12號公車?
(A) 以回到Hagerton市中心
(B) 以前往Old Horse Saloon
(C) 以造訪歷史悠久的Frankton
(D) 以抵達Cactus Peak的頂端
【解析】
第二題問"Why would a tour member take Bus 12",只要將焦點放在找搭十二號公車的「目的」上就可以回答了。根據Mid-Day Tour中第二句"Afterwards you’ll stop by the historic Old Horse Saloon in historic Frankton for a late buffet lunch, beverages, and live entertainment before returning to downtown Hagerton via Bus 12."以及最後一段最後一句"Bus 12 will return you to downtown Hagarton."皆可知,搭十二號公車是可以回到"downtown Hagerton"的,故(A) To return to downtown Hagerton為正確答案。(B)、(C)和(D)選項之內容都跟"Bus 12"無關,故不選。
 
3.
【解答】D
【中譯】最後一行中的"inclement"這個字意思最接近
(A) 不合季節的
(B) 無法預料的
(C) 潮濕的
(D) 暴風雨的
【解析】
此篇的第三題問的是"inclement"這個字的意思最接進哪個字。"inclement"是「天氣惡劣的」之意,與stormy(暴風雨的)意思最接近,故選項(D)為最佳答案。
