Do you know a mountain that looks like big steps?
That's Batai Mountain, an amazing place in Dazhou, Sichuan.
The name "Batai" means "eight terraces" because it looks like it has eight huge flat steps going up. It's over 2,200 metres. Because it's so high, it's one of the first places in Sichuan to see the sunrise each morning. Watching the sun come up from the top is amazing.
For nature lovers, Batai Mountain is a good place to visit. You can see fantastic deep valleys, interesting rock shapes, and big forests all around. On the fine mornings, there are thick clouds covering the land below, making the tops of the mountain look like islands in a huge sea of clouds. And if you're brave enough, you can even walk on special paths with glass parts high above the ground—it feels just like walking in the sky.
Batai Mountain is a natural geopark protected by the government. It's a very important and beautiful place. Whether you like hiking, taking amazing pictures, or just seeing cool natural sights, Batai Mountain is an unforgettable place to visit. It's Dazhou's natural wonder.

解析
【分析】
做这篇阅读理解时，首先快速通读全文，把握文章核心是介绍四川达州八台山的基本特点和特色景观。之后逐题分析题干，带着问题回到原文对应段落定位关键信息，逐一比对选项和原文内容，排除错误干扰项即可选出正确答案：第1题直接观察开篇第一句的句式就能判断开篇方式；第2、3、4题属于细节类题目，找到题干对应的原文语句就能直接匹配正确选项；第5题是主旨类题目，结合全文介绍对象和末尾的总结句就能判断作者的写作目的。
【解析】
1. 文章第一句为"Do you know a mountain that looks like big steps?"，是典型的疑问句，作者通过提出问题的方式引出下文对八台山的介绍，A（讲故事）、B（列数字）、C（举例子）均不符合开篇特征，因此选D。
2. 定位到原文第三段"On the fine mornings, there are thick clouds covering the land below, making the tops of the mountain look like islands in a huge sea of clouds."，晴朗早晨的特殊景观就是厚云层让山顶看起来像云海中的岛屿，其余选项的景观不属于晴天早晨的独有特殊景观，因此选D。
3. 定位到原文第三段末尾"you can even walk on special paths with glass parts high above the ground—it feels just like walking in the sky"，走在高空玻璃步道上如同漫步云端，体验是十分刺激兴奋的，B（无聊）、C（生气）、D（疲惫）均不符合语境，因此选A。
4. 逐一核对选项：A选项原文说明八台山海拔超过2200米，并非2400米，错误；B选项云海仅在晴朗的早晨出现，并非每天都有，错误；C选项对应原文第二段"The name "Batai" means "eight terraces" because it looks like it has eight huge flat steps going up"，山名来源于它形似八级台阶的梯地，表述正确；D选项原文没有提到玻璃步道是唯一能看日出的地点，属于无中生有，错误。因此选C。
5. 全文围绕达州的八台山展开，介绍它的名字由来、特色景观、地质公园属性，末尾点明它是达州的自然奇观，作者的写作目的就是介绍描述达州的知名自然奇观，A（讨论四川天气）、B（介绍登山安全规则）、C（解释玻璃步道建造方式）均未在文中提及，因此选D。
【答案】
