56、的沿海城市。总面积5,271平方千米，总人口359.23万人。东临汕头，西接惠州、深圳、东莞、广州，素有“粤东桥梁”之称。汕尾市自然资源非常丰富，气候宜人，冬不寒冷，夏不酷热。汕尾市著名的旅游胜地如凤山祖庙(Fengshan Temple)和红海湾(Red Bay)等旅游景区，每年都吸引大量游客。写作要求 (1)只能使用5个句子介绍以上全部内容；(2)短文的开头已为你写好，不计入总句数。评分标准 句子结构准确，信息内容完整，篇章结构连贯。Ladies and gentlemen，Welcome to Guangdong Province._综合检测(一)【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了
57、多伦多音乐家格雷顿詹姆斯从一名作家转变为一名音乐家，并经过自己的努力，使自己在音乐的道路上不断成功的故事。然而，现在的格雷斯顿詹姆斯和他的乐队正面临着一些挑战。1Aambition“志向”，这正是上句格雷顿詹姆斯写歌比写书更有名的体现。2Ctells“讲述”，与a story构成搭配，意为“讲述一个故事”。句意：格雷顿詹姆斯的最新唱片晚安，年轻的小说家讲述了一个比一般专辑更广泛的故事。3Bstarted“开始”，这与本句中我真的想得到好的歌曲录音相一致。句意：随着我以前乐队的解体我开始录音过程的记录。prepared意为“准备”；thought意为“思考”；planned意为“计划”。这三项都
58、是未开始的动作，而started是开始做了，更加符合语境所要表达的意思。4Aforgot“忘记”。句意：在我忘记他们是如何表演的之前，我真的只是想获得好的歌曲录音。understood意为“理解”；remembered意为“记住”；realized意为“意识到”。5C分析句子结构及时态，previous“以前的”符合所要表达的意思。句意：我写了50多首歌，但以前的乐队仅仅了解其中的大约20首。6Afinishing“完成”。句意：一完成专辑，詹姆斯立即组织一个新的乐队。finishing体现了詹姆斯在完成专辑后，找乐队进行创作的那种激情和效率。7C根据语境，乐队的名字应该符合专辑的特点。sui
59、tably“合适地”，体现了詹姆斯根据专辑的特点而对乐队进行命名的意思。8Bprogressing“进步”。句意：他在一年前说，整个乐队的声音质量正在稳步上升。moving意为“移动”；working意为“工作”。这两项不符合句意。developing意为“发展”，尽管符合句子结构，但对于乐队声音质量的提高上表述不如progressing恰当。9Dcuriosity“奇特”。句意：对我而言，晚安，年轻的小说家有一点奇特，因为这点奇特是这个乐队存在的原因。expectation意为“期望”；pride意为“自豪”；happiness意为“幸福”。这三项均符合句子结构和句意，但语境所体现的这个专辑
60、的成功和我对这个专辑的期望表达的不如curiosity更加贴切和恰当。10Dexists“存在”。句意：因为这是乐队存在的原因。succeeds意为“成功”；fails意为“失败”。这两项本句都未提及。builds意为“建立”，与语境中所表达的已经建立乐队的意思不符。11Bexperience“经历”。句意：我非常感谢录制专辑的经历。life意为“生活”；work意为“工作”；process意为“过程”。这三项都符合句子结构和句意，但后面的句子提供的语境，让我们知道experience体现出了录制经历对于我们以后发展的重大意义，而非是生活、工作或过程所能体现出来的。12Csee“观看”。句意：
61、我希望人们能去看乐队的表演。13Dlive“现场直播”，与本句中听唱片相对应。句意：无论是听唱片，还是看现场表演。14Btreasure“宝库”，这与however“然而”所要表述的意思形成明显的对比。句意：在二三十年前的音乐大环境中，晚安，年轻的小说家被认为是收音机单曲的珍宝。name意为“名字”；fame意为“名望”。这两项与句意不符。symbol意为“符号”，尽管符合句子结构，但不如treasure更能体现出晚安，年轻的小说家在当时的出名程度来。15Afacing“面对”。句意：然而，现在，詹姆斯和他的乐队正面临着他们事业发展中的一些困难。solving意为“解决”；clearing意为
62、“清理”。这两项符合句子结构，但与文章中however转折所表示的意思相反。causing意为“造成”，这与语境及生活常识不符。16how17.than18.perseverance19.to overcome20exhausted21.the22.so/and23.building24.are faced25.as【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。作者通过自己的经历告诉我们这样一个道理：在生活中宁可多走绕行路，也不要在目标方向上走狭窄的路。因为在人生的绕行路上，你可能会欣赏到更美的风景。26B细节理解题。由文章第二段中的We traveled the way most people do：the f
63、astest，shortest，easiest road.可知，作者之所以这样走是因为这条路是最快、最短而又最好走的。故选B项。27C细节理解题。由文章第五段中的“We had to stop every hour，let Banner shake out his legs and feed him.”可知，作者在路上每行驶一个小时就要停下来一次，目的是照顾一下刚出生不久的小羊。28B推理判断题。在第六段作者讲述了自己沿途所看到的风景，她觉得这才是生活，由此可以知道，她觉得与大自然亲近可以增添生活的乐趣。29D推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段中的On an empty section of roa
64、d，everyone started quarreling.I stopped the car，ordered all kids out.可知，孩子们在路上吵个不停，“我”停下车，让他们出去，目的是让他们冷静一下。30A主旨大意题。文章讲述了作者去父母家和回自己家绕路的途中获得的乐趣，这也印证了著名诗人的那句话，由此我们可以概括出文章的标题：绕行路的魅力。【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。当得知乔布斯是演讲人的时候，学生们并没有很高兴。每个人都想听克林顿演讲。每年如果不是克林顿做演讲人，不论谁来，人们都会很失望。但乔布斯的演讲很开放、很真实，令同学们非常满意。31B 细节理解题。根据第一段可知，学
65、生们都想听克林顿演讲。每年如果不是克林顿做演讲人，他们会很失望。故答案为B项。A项与文章内容不相符；C、D项不是学生失望的原因。32D推理判断题。第一段谈的是今年毕业典礼的演讲人，第二段谈的是斯坦福大学有一个传统是“走的古怪些”，去听演讲时毕业生们穿着奇装异服，还随手扔海滩球之类的东西，第三段谈的是乔布斯的演讲。故答案为D项。如果不联系上下文，就会误选其他答案。33B细节理解题。根据语境先排除D项，把其他选项代入后，上下文意思逻辑通顺的只能是B项“这一毕业传统很好玩”。故答案为B项。34D推理判断题。根据第四段可知，在作出改变和决定前他都要询问自己，然后根据每天的回答作出相应的判断。故答案为D
66、。前三个选项与第三段的内容不相符，可一一排除。35A细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句话可知，激情是他做事的重要依据，如果失去了激情，这件事对他来说就不再是适合自己的事情。误解分析：如果不认真理解题意，就会根据Death is a great motivator，而误选C项。【语篇解读】本文为议论文，题材为社会文化类。生活不是一帆风顺的，你会无数次地面对究竟作生活的牺牲品还是创造者的抉择。生活的牺牲者沉溺于愤怒、愧疚之中，而生活的创造者会选择截然不同的生活态度。36A猜测词义题。根据第一段第三句中.did things及第四句的are wrong and bad可知此处they意为：周围的人和事。
67、37C推理判断题。本段告诉我们：生活的创造者承认自己的弱点，但当失败的时候他们不会责备自己；暴风雨是成长历程中的重要部分。由此可知，生活的创造者能够明智地解决生活中的盛衰沉浮。38B推理判断题。第三段告诉我们：生活的牺牲品和生活的创造者面对同样的境况时，他们会有截然不同的态度及做法，所以选B；他们是自己生活的主人。39A推理判断题。通过讲述面对失去工作或一种特殊关系时，一些人的态度和做法，告诉我们：沉湎于生活中的不幸能使一些人成为牺牲品，所以A项正确。40D主旨大意题。全文讲述了生活的创造者和生活的牺牲品对待生活的不同态度及做法，并告诉我们：生活的自主选择权就在我们手中，做出不同的选择就会过不
68、同的生活。【语篇解读】“善有善报”，人生中奉献和获得是不能分开的，奉献传播快乐是幸福的秘密；同时获得也是必然的自然规律，敞开心扉获得，会使你更加的充满活力，使你的价值得到承认。41B猜测词义题。根据文章的中心“Every person must receive，as well as give.”可猜出此处为：你奉献得越多，你就会收获越多。42D主旨大意题。通读全文可知作者通过论述奉献是快乐之源，而获得是必然的自然结果而得出：奉献和获得都是自然规律，同等重要。43D细节判断题。根据文章第二段开头一句可知要受到周围人的欢迎喜爱，就要传播快乐，教人体会到幸福的秘密。44C推断判断题。根据文章第五段谈
69、到奉献中的妇女会因为被评价自私而使奉献和获得受阻，以及最后一句“When a person gives and does not receive，then the energy flow gets cut off.”可知奉献中的妇女需要获得来激励。45D细节理解题。根据文章最后一句可得知答案为D。4650DEFAB【参考范文】Ladies_and_gentlemen，Welcome_to_Guangdong_Province.
