28、aroe Islands.In reality,Lake Leitisvatn is actually no more than about 30m above sea level.A steep cliff in front of the lake and a clever camera angle make the lake appear to be much higher than it really is.文章大意:本文介绍了一个网站Quora。你将在哪里可以逃避生活的压力和交通的噪音?为了找到答案,我们求助于问答网站Quora,那里的用户一直在分享他们的观点。从德国的一座高山宫殿到一

30、site Quora,where users have been sharing their opinions.”可知,从第一段,我们知道Quora是一个你可以对某件事得到不同看法的网站。故C项正确。22What do you know about Sagrada Familia? A AIt hasnt been fully built yet.BIt is a museum about Antoni Gaudi.CIt was built in honor of Antoni Gaudi.DIt tells much about Spains history.解析:推理判断题。根据Gaud
31、is other worldly imagination中“the Roman Catholic church Sagrada Familia is a legend in itself Construction began in 1882,but less than a quarter of the project was complete when Gaudi died in 1926.Since then,work has progressed slowly.”可知,Sagrada Familia还没有完全建成。故A项正确。23Where did Beatrix Potter creat

33、s northwest is quite literally taken out of fairy tales.”可知,在the Lake District Beatrix Potter创造了童话人物Peter Rabbit。故B项正确。BReports tell us that Americans work more and vacation less than people in other major industrial countries.Still, millions of Americans do try to get away from home for a week or t
34、wo in the summer months.Some might even have time and money to spend longer on vacation.For example, many retired Americans can be found driving around the United States in big recreational vehicles, known as RV.s.These serve as a home away from home.In fact, it might even be their only home as they

36、Americans visit national parks like Yellowstone or Yosemite out in the West.They want to spend time with nature.Or they take their vacation by a lake or the ocean.They might swim or fish.But many just want to sit and enjoy the feeling of doing nothing, except maybe read a book.Some families fly to o

38、t think of all the fun their friends are having.文章大意:本文讲述了美国人比其他工业城市的人工作时间多,而休息时间少。当他们休息时,大部分家庭会选择在暑假离开家出去旅游一两周,甚至更长的时间,通过不同的方式去各个地方感受不一样的旅行快乐。24What can be the best title for the text? B AAmericans Work More and Vacation LessBWhere Americans Go on Their Summer VacationsCDifferent Places for Summer
39、VacationsDNot All Americans Take Summer Vacations解析:标题归纳题。本文介绍了在暑假,美国人会花费一两周,甚至更长的时间离开家出去旅游,他们旅游的方式和地点很多,如一些人驾车环游美国、一些人去历史悠久的地方,还有一些人利用假期接近大自然,由此可推断出B项“美国人夏季去哪度假”作为文章标题最佳。故选B项。25If you want to spend time with nature, you can do the following things except D .Ato visit national parksBto see the count
40、ryCto stay by a lake Dto visit historic places解析:细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Other Americans visit national parks like Yellowstone.Or they take their vacation by a lake or the ocean.maybe read a book.”可知,如果想接近自然,你可以去参观国家公园,或待在湖边或去海边玩耍,甚至可以读书。而to visit historic places只是能让人们感受到早期的美国生活,不属于接近自然。故选D项。26Which of the fo
41、llowing is False? C APeople choose different destinations depending on different interests.BPeople interested in history can have fun in Colonial Williamsburg.CAll the people take vacations only to do nothing but relax themselves.DNot all Americans can afford time and money to go on a vacation.解析:细节
42、理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“But not everyone goes someplace special on vacation.This might be the only time for people to work on things like home improvement projects.”可知,并不是每个美国人都会在假期放松自己去各个地方旅游,有些人也许只有在假期才能进行他们的家庭改进工作。C项中的All the people和only用词过于绝对,C项表述错误,故为答案。27What does the underlined sentence of the passage
43、 mean? D AThey fully enjoy doing their work on home improvement projects.BThey think of their work at home as a special kind of vacation.CThey can imagine what fun their friends are having on vacation.DThey might envy their friends having time going on vacation.解析:句意猜测题。根据文章最后一段的描述可知,有的美国人会利用假期做家庭改进
44、的工作,而这些人是不能出去旅游的,由此可推断出画线句表达的是他们可能会羡慕他们的朋友有时间出去旅游。故选D项。CThere is a man who is dying to find the way to success,but he doesnt have an idea how to do it.One day,he meets a guru,a religious teacher,on the road.The man asks the guru,“Which way is to success?” The gum doesnt speak,but points to a place o
45、ff in the distance.The man,thrilled by the prospect of quick and easy success,rushes off in that direction.Along the way,he is occupied in looking up something special but there is nothing.Suddenly there comes a loud splat(溅泼声)Eventually,the man limps back in rags,assuming he must have misinterprete
46、d the message.Therefore,he returns to the guru for a reason.He repeats his question to the guru,who again points silently in the same direction.The man was obedient to walk off once more.This time the splat is deafening,and when the man crawls back,he is bloody,broken and angry,“I asked you which wa
47、y was to success,” he screams at the guru,“ I followed the direction you pointed to.And all I got was being knocked down! No more of this pointing! Tell me why? Talk!”Only then does the guru speak,and what he says is that “Success is that way.Just a little past the splat.”文章大意:这是一篇哲理性小故事。有一个人渴望找到成功的
48、道路,于是询问一名智者,智者指向远处的一个地方。于是这个人就一直向前,失败后就又不再继续寻找,最终什么也没有找到,狼狈不堪。智者告诉他,成功就是经历失败后继续向前。这篇文章告诉我们,不要过早地放弃,成功就在你失败之后。28Why does the man fail once more? D AHe is so stupid that he cannot find it.BThe way to success does not exist in life.CThe guru gave the wrong direction to him.DHe does not make sense of th
49、e gurus words.解析:推理判断题。由最后一段“what he says is that Success is that way.Just a little past the splat”可推断,这个人之所以再一次失败,是因为他们没有完全理解智者的话,成功的道路充满失败,不要过早放弃,继续坚持,你就会成功。故选D。29What does the underlined word “obedient” in Paragraph 3 mean? A ASubmitted.BPleasing.CDisappointed. DUnwilling.解析:词义猜测题。由第二段可知,当这个再次询问智
50、者那条路通向成功时,智者再次重复了以前的问题,指向同一个方向,结合下文“walk off once more.”可推断,这个听了智者的话,很听话的再次离开了,再次撞得头破血流。因此可知,画线词词义是“顺从的”与A项意义相近。故选A。30What does the guru think of how to succeed? C AGetting the help from others.BAchieving it all on your own.CKeeping on going after some failures.DJust facing up to many difficulties.解
51、析:推理判断题。由最后一段的“Success is that way.Just a little past the splat.”可推断,智者认为成功是经历许多失败以后,继续向前。故选C。31What does the passage mainly tell us? B ABelieve in yourself.BDont give up too soon.CListen to the wisdoms suggestion.DIntroduce the gurus wisdom.解析:主旨大意题。纵观全文特别是最后一段的内容可推断,文章通过讲述一个人追逐成功的故事,告诉读者不要太早的放弃,失败
52、后继续坚持,你就会成功。故选B。D(2018全国卷)Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are,like a nearby port or river.People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade.New York City,for example,is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson
53、 River.Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million.But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time.Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight.In 1896,Dawson,Canada,was unmapped wilderness (荒野)But gold was discovered there in 1897,and two years later,it w
54、as one of the largest cities in the West,with a population of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris.People went there for gold.They travelled over snowcovered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers.The path to Dawson was covered with
55、thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warning.An avalanche (雪崩) once closed the path,killing 63 people.For many who made it to Dawson,however,the rewards were worth the difficult trip.Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold,4,000 got rich.About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest
56、 of their lives.But no matter how rich they were,Dawson was never comfortable.Necessities like food and wood were very expensive.But soon,the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found.The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down,and when they heard there were

58、he early settlers to New York City? C AIts business culture.BIts small population.CIts geographical position.DIts favourable climate.解析:细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二、三句“People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade.New York City,for example,is near
59、a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River.”可知,New York City吸引早期定居者之处就是它靠近Hudson River河口,交通和贸易便利,所以是它的地理位置吸引了早期的定居者。文章中没有A项和D项的相关信息;B项不是吸引人们定居的原因。故选C。33What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson? B ATwothirds of them stayed there.BOne out of five people got rich.CAlmost every
60、one gave up.DHalf of them died.解析:细节理解题。根据文章第二段倒数第二句“Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold,4,000 got rich.”可知,约五分之一的人发财了。故选B。A、C、D三项在文中都没有提到。34What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson? B AThey found the city too crowded.BThey wanted to try their luck elsewhere.CThere were unabl
61、e to stand the winter.DThey were short of food.解析:细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中“The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down,and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska,they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come.(Dawson City满是失望的人们,他们没有兴趣定居下来,当听说在Alaska发
62、现了新的金矿时,他们离开了,和他们来的时候一样迅速。)”可知,人们离开Dawson City去Alaska碰运气了。故选B。A、C、D三项都不是他们离开的主要原因。35What is the text mainly about? A AThe rise and fall of a city.BThe gold rush in Canada.CJourneys into the wilderness.DTourism in Dawson.解析:主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中“But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time.B
63、oom towns grow from nothing almost overnight.”和最后一段中“.when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska,they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come.”以及最后一句“Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson Cityits present population is 762.”可知,文章主要讲述了一座城市(Dawson City)的兴衰。故选A。B项的范围过大,文章主要讲的是加
64、拿大Dawson City。C项偏离了文章的主题。D项覆盖面太小,不能够涵盖Dawson City的过去。第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Fast food is cheap, convenient and to many of us it tastes good.

71、ce of fastfood restaurants.”可知,此句是一句承上启下的句子,故选F。37根据此段主题句“Undress your food.”和空格前一句“You can ask for a packet of ketchup(调味番茄酱) and add it yourself.”可知,你可以要一包番茄酱,自己添加。由此可知,以这样的方式你可以自己控制需要添加多少量,故选G。38此处为主题句。由本段内容有几处都出现了“ask for”“ask to”可知,发生的场合是点餐,故选A。39根据此段主题句“Eat mindfully.”可知,此空是对主题句加以解释说明,故选E。40此空
