【简答题】
阅读理解。 When humans and nature go head to head, nature often ends up losing. Rivers get polluted. Trees are knocked down. Natural resources are exhausted. That's what makes the Galapagos Islands so special-it's one of the few pristine (原始状态的) places on Earth that nature can truly call its own. For people used to having wild animals run at the scent of humans, a visit to the Calapagos is a real eye-opening experience. Over 1,600 kms west of Ecuador (厄瓜多尔) ,the islands are home to a unique variety of animals that have absolutely no fear of people. Visitors can play on the beach with sea lions and giant sea turtles, swim with dolphins and whales, and get close enough to the penguins to count the eggs in their nests. The islands were declared a national park over 40 years ago, and the number of human visitors is tightly limited to avoid damaging the environment or putting stress on the animals. Tourists have to pay a $100 daily visitors fee,a nd can't step off the boat unless accompanied (陪同 ) by an official guide. Once on the islands, you have to stay on the trail, but that rarely presents a problem: the animals are so curious about people that they'll usually come up to say hello. "It's a little like being in a zoo," said one traveler." But instead of us looking at the animals, the animals are looking at us. Aside from the wildlife, one of the islands' more unusual features is its post office. You can send postcards for free, but the catch is that there's no postman to collect them. Instead, travelers pick up mail addressed to people who live near them back home, and then hand-deliver the postcards when their trip is finished. 1. The Galapagos Islands are _____.
