Besides great views,another major attraction on this road is the 12 Apostles,a group of limestone formations (石灰岩层) that rise above the ocean.

　　In addition,the iconic road crosses “one of the most civilized parts of rural Australia—a region rich in farm-fresh produce,seafood and cool-climate wines”,according to The Telegraph.

　　The road is also a masterpiece of human achievement,which has been called “Victoria’s largest war memorial.”

　　Between 1919 and 1932,more than 3,000 returned soldiers built the road to honor the over 60,000 Australians killed in World War Ⅰ.

　　Sleeping in tents through violent storms,workers built the road by hand,using picks,shovels (铲子),wheelbarrows (独轮车) and explosives.

　　“Its construction provided long-term jobs for returned servicemen,recognized their sacrifice at war,and for generations has enabled people from across the world to enjoy this spectacular coastline,” Australia’s Federal Environment Minister Tony Burke told Australia Geographic.

　　1.What’s the best time of a day to drive along the Ocean Road,according to Peter Dalton?

　　A.In the early morning.

　　B.Late in the morning.

　　C.At noon.

　　D.Around sunset.

　　解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中“There’s no better scene than driving along the Ocean Road in the first hour after sunrise.”可以得出答案。
