Do you know what the world's highest waterfall is? You may say that it is Niagara Falls. Niagara Falls is really very beautiful, but when we talk about the height, Angel Falls is the highest in the world. It is located deep in the jungle(丛林) of Venezuela(委内瑞拉).
Few people have ever seen Angel Falls. It's very hard to get there. If you went by car, you would have to travel for weeks through the jungle. If you went by plane from Caracas, a city on the southern coast, it would take about four hours.
One of the most interesting facts about Angel Falls is how it got its name. It was named after an American pilot. His name was Jimmie Angel. In 1937, his plane crashed near the waterfall. Though local people already knew about it, his story made it famous, and it was later named after him.
Angel Falls drops nearly a kilometre from a table-top mountain. The water seems to be dropping straight out of the clouds. The height of the waterfall is so great that by the time the water reaches the ground, it has already turned into fog(雾).
If you have a chance to visit it, you'll never forget it!

C
It was a week before I saw Captain Nemo again. Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had come to the top. I would go out and see the sunrise.
Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crescent Island. Ned was excited because he

thought there he could find a chance to run away. When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so interested in Crescent Island. "I thought you preferred the sea."
"I do," replied the Captain. "But these forests are under the sea." During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits that used special air tanks. These tanks would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. He had also made lights that worked in electric batteries. When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all. Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. We stepped into a room and closed the door. The room was filled with water, and another door opened. We went through it, and we were on the seafloor. It was an amazing experience. We were about ten metres under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colours of the shells, fish and seaweed(海藻). Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area. We were going deeper and deeper.
As we were a hundred metres under the water, we could still see quite well. Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The "trees" there were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical(垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small bushes grew under the large seaweed trees. Three hours later, we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but very sleepy. We all slept and when we woke up, we explored further.

【分析】
23题：通过原文中Nautilus能浮出海面提供新鲜空气、伴随海底潜水探险的描述，判断其属性，排除不符合的选项；24题：梳理原文事件的先后逻辑，依次定位邀请、准备装备、进入海底、看贝壳草地、到达森林的顺序；25题：查找原文中描述探险感受的关键词；26题：根据原文结尾的“explored further”推断后续内容。
【解析】
23题：细节理解题。原文提到“the Nautilus had come to the top”（可浮出海面提供新鲜空气），结合后文的海底潜水探险经历，可知Nautilus是海底的船，故选B。
24题：细节排序题。原文事件顺序为：①Captain Nemo邀请“我”去森林（c）→②他准备潜水装备（d，早餐时解释潜水服、空气罐等）→③穿潜水服后通过房间的门进入海底（a）→④走细沙、欣赏彩色贝壳、穿过草地（e）→⑤到达海底森林（b），故顺序为c-d-a-e-b，选C。
25题：细节理解题。原文明确提到海底探险是“an amazing experience”，可知“我”的感受是amazed，故选C。
26题：推理判断题。原文结尾提到“when we woke up, we explored further”，说明故事接下来会讲述他们如何向更深的地方旅行，故选D。
