54、 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 River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But .Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Cana
55、da, was unmapped wilderness (荒野)But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.2Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris.

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.
57、 Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.3But 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 fo

61、Its favourable climate.解析:选C细节理解题。根据第一段第二、三句“People settle in these places . New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River.”可知,纽约市吸引早期定居者之处就是它靠近哈德逊河入海口,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。故选C。25What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?ATwothirds of t

63、ty too crowded.BThey wanted to try their luck elsewhere.CThere were unable to stand the winter.DThey were short of food.解析:选B细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The city was crowded . new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come.”可知,人们离开道森去阿拉斯加碰运气了。故选B。27What is the text mainly about?
64、AThe rise and fall of a city.BThe gold rush in Canada.CJourneys into the wilderness.DTourism in Dawson.解析:选A主旨大意题。文章第一段简要介绍城市发展的原因,并引出道森这一城市的兴起;第二段介绍了道森兴起的原因;第三段介绍了道森的衰落和现状,由此可知,文章主要讲述了加拿大城市道森的兴衰。故选A。为什么考有何价值导向解读一、发展思维品质文中第27题主要考查学生的概括性思维。本文首段一开始介绍一般城市的兴起原因在于地理位置优越,并以纽约市为例进行说明,然后话锋一转:并非所有城市都是这样,从而引出
65、本文的主要话题加拿大的道森市。道森市并没有优越的地理位置和其他的便利条件,它的兴起完全是因为当地发现了黄金。第二段主要讲道森市环境的恶劣,但是为了挖掘黄金,人们接踵而至。第三段描述人们没有兴趣定居在道森市,以及其他地方发现黄金,人们纷纷离开道森市,造成了道森市的没落。概括分析全文内容可知选A项。考生如果不具备概括性思维,“只见树木不见森林”,而掉进命题人故意设置的陷阱,则易错选。二、聚焦核心价值本文通过介绍加拿大道森市的发展变迁,旨在让考生了解城市兴衰的原因,进而培养学生的国际视野和学习历史的兴趣,激发学生奋发向上,积极投入家乡、祖国的发展建设中。每个城市乃至国家都有其发展历史,尤其是作为四大
66、文明古国之一的中国更是有着悠久的历史和灿烂的文明,这也成为高考的关注点。因此,考生应多聚焦历史变迁,多关注历史上的人物介绍、地方的兴衰以及文化的迁移和影响。借力真题发掘学习能力.单句语法填空1Roleplay is helpful in developing communication (communicate) skills.2Pleasing people may not be the path to success.3The poor area which depends on tourism (tour) is developing very quickly.4They put up

68、th a population of (有人口) about 1.4 billion.分析长难句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.句式解构本句是一个由and连接的并列复合句。第一个分句主句的主语是The city,谓语动词是was crowded
69、 with。第二个分句的主语是they,谓语动词是left。第二个并列分句中包含一个由when引导的时间状语从句和由as引导的比较状语从句。时间状语从句中“there were new gold discoveries in Alaska”是一个省略了that的宾语从句。句意翻译城里挤满了对定居没有兴趣的失望的人们,当他们听说阿拉斯加发现了新的金矿时,他们就像最初来时一样迅速离开了道森市。.主题语境写作巴黎是法国的首都,也是一个梦幻的城市,每年吸引世界各地大批游客来观光游玩。请根据以下要点,用英语写一篇介绍巴黎的小短文。1地理位置:法国北部;2人口:大约220万;3气候:不太热也不太冷,春季和
