题型突破12 阅读理解体裁之记叙文、应用文（核心考点精讲精练）-备战2025年高考英语一轮复习考点帮（上海专用）

题型突破11 阅读理解体裁之记叙文、应用文 （核心考点精讲精练） 上海高考英语关于阅读理解要求考生读懂简易的英语文学作品、科普文章、公告、说明、广告以及书、报、杂志中关于一般性话题的简短文章并回答相关问题。文章题材广泛，体裁多样，包括记叙文、新闻报道、应用文、说明文、议论文等。以下梳理记叙文、应用文体裁主要阅读技巧。 【记叙文】 · [方法1]　顺藤摸瓜 记叙文中有大量的事件发展过程中的细节，包括记叙文的5W(what，who，when，where，why)要素。因此作答细节题的时候，就没有那么复杂，一般只需要由前到后，从上到下，一题一题地做就可以了。 （2024青浦二模） But in the depression, a realization began to dawn on me — I had failed, yes, but I had also learned valuable lessons along the way. Armed with this newfound wisdom, I ensured that I would do better next time. I threw myself into my studies with renewed determination, devouring books and practicing past exams with an eagerness I had never known before. 57. What did the author do after he failed in the exam? A. He attended valuable lessons in school. B. He retook the exam over and over again. C. He promised to arm himself with eagerness. D. He determined to engage himself in learning. 【答案】 D 【57题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段中“I threw myself into my studies with renewed determination, devouring books and practicing past exams with an eagerness I had never known before. (我以全新的决心投入到学习中，如饥似渴地啃书本，以前所未有的热情复习过去的考试。)”可知，作者考试不及格后决心专心学习。故选D。 · [方法2]　左顾右盼 在做题过程中，我们大都不能在文中找到与题干一字不差的词语或句子。这时我们需要认真研究问题，抓住题干中的关键词语，然后到文中准确地找到与之相关的语句，或是疑似语句的位置，接着去左顾，或右盼，在前句或后句寻找线索。 （2024虹口二模） Then I saw Boru again. He told me how, over two years, he’d found a job he loves, rented a flat with a friend. He’s now cycling round the world, having adventures that will keep him strong for the rest of his life. So what changed? “You start to have those conversations with yourself, and you become more of an honest person. I don’t feel like I’m hiding from anything anymore, because I’m not hiding from myself.” 57. What critical lesson did the author learn from Boru about being a good grown-up? A. It involves having a clear career path and financial stability. B. It requires constant self-improvement and education. C. It means being employed and living independently. D. It is like a journey of self-discovery and honesty. 【答案】 D 【57题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的““You start to have those conversations with yourself, and you become more of an honest person. I don’t feel like I’m hiding from anything anymore, because I’m not hiding from myself.” (“你开始与自己进行这些对话，你变得更诚实了。我不再觉得我在隐瞒任何事情，因为我没有隐瞒自己。”)可知，博鲁教会了作者，成为一个好成年人就像是一次自我发现和诚实的旅程。故选D。 · [方法3]　刨根问底 如前所述，主旨大意题或推理判断、作者意图题等实际上是同一类型的问题，或者说是可用同种方法解答的题型。在解答此类题目的时候，不可被题干的表象所迷惑，要像剥洋葱一样，一层一层地剥；在四个可选项中，一个一个地去证实，去排除。特别是解答推论或暗指类的题目，比如“What can be inferred from...？”或是“What does the author imply in...？”之类的题目，文中所陈述的往往不是答案。我们要在文前文后去查找，在字里行间里去寻觅。有时还少不了借助自己的生活经验和常理来 体会这言外之意。 （2024宝山二模） After Melk, the boats pass through wine country to Vienna. Called the “City of Waltzes”, Vienna has a magnificent opera house and an imperial palace. Aside trip from Vienna takes visitors into the Austrian Alps. The tour bus trip offers marvelous views of the surrounding countryside. 57. What does Vienna’s nickname imply about the city? A. Its location made it an important political center. B. Hunting was a popular activity there years ago. C. It has attracted a lot of people who enjoy skating. D. Dancing has been an important part of its culture. 【答案】 D 【57题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段“After Melk, the boats pass through wine country to Vienna. Called the ‘City of Waltzes’, Vienna has a magnificent opera house and an imperial palace. (梅尔克之后，船只穿过葡萄酒之乡前往维也纳。维也纳被称为‘华尔兹之城’，有一座宏伟的歌剧院和一座皇宫。)”可推知，维也纳的昵称表明舞蹈一直是维也纳文化的重要组成部分。故选D项。 · [方法4]　拨云见日 阅读题中，特别是记叙文的阅读题，都会出现一至两道句意或词义猜测题。而这些词汇往往是与你素昧平生的，或者和你有点头之交的，在文中却另有新意的，总之，猜的是那些在词汇表要求之外的词汇。小小的一个词，一个短语，考核的不是你的语法的熟练程度，也不是你的记忆力，而是你对文章通篇或者一个段落的整体把握和变通能力。 （2024奉贤二模） We met for dinner, perhaps two hours, and rarely had I felt at ease with other humans as I did with him. We talked and talked. About who we were then. Who we are now. And what made us the jerks (混蛋) we were then. We acknowledged that if not for each other, and the circles of good people we ran with back then, the good friends who kept us reasonably on track and in check, life could have easily gone south for either of us. Each of us recalled things the other had no memory of. Fragments of memories, scattered yet precious. We know we were tight then, and we value that friendship and shared experience still today. 38. What does the author imply by saying “life could have easily gone south for either of us”? A. They could have easily been off the track in life. B. They might have settled down in the southern region. C. Their friendship could have easily turned sour. D. They could have faced financial difficulties. 【答案】 A 【38题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“We acknowledged that if not for each other, and the circles of good people we ran with back then, the good friends who kept us reasonably on track and in check, (我们承认，如果不是彼此，以及当年我们相处的那些良师益友圈子，那些好朋友让我们保持在相对正确的轨道上)”可推知，划线句表达我们的生活很可能早已偏离正轨，与A项“他们本可以轻而易举地偏离人生轨道”意义相近。故选A项。 【应用文】 · [方法1].先题后文法 应用文体文章比较长，此时我们不必记住所有信息，可以先阅读题目，带着问题阅读，多注意细节，如时间、地点、人物或数据等，简明扼要地抓住所需信息，理解文章内容。尤其是广告文章的阅读一般采取跳读、略读等快速阅读法，快速浏览信息，搜索对比。对文中信息的快速处理能力是考查阅读理解能力的重要方面。 （2024杨浦二模） I’m also a big fan of spreadsheets. I create one that has the name, date of birth and age of my characters at any given time in the novel – or novels if it’s a series. This is particularly helpful for controlling timelines, as I only need to change one date and the rest are set up to update automatically. 40. ________ are most useful for controlling timelines of the story. A. Character sheets B. Dialogue records C. Photographs D. Spreadsheets 【答案】40. D 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格第一列中倒数第二段的“I’m also a big fan of spreadsheets. I create one that has the name, date of birth and age of my characters at any given time in the novel – or novels if it’s a series. This is particularly helpful for controlling timelines, as I only need to change one date and the rest are set up to update automatically.(我也是电子表格的忠实粉丝。我创建了一个包含我在小说中任何给定时间的角色的名字、出生日期和年龄的表——如果是一个系列小说的话。这对于控制时间线特别有帮助，因为我只需要更改一个日期，其余的都设置为自动更新。)”可知，电子表格对于控制故事的时间线最有用。故选D。 · [方法2]. 题干定位法 应用文阅读材料包含的某一方面的信息非常全面，能满足各种人对信息的需求，但在试题中，常常是就某一点提问，以细节理解题为主，考生完全没有必要从头到尾全部仔细阅读，因为材料中有很多冗余无效信息。做此类题时，宜采用＂题干定位法＂，即先阅读题干，然后根据问题要求，按照题目顺序依次有针对性地结合题干关键词到文中定位答案范围，阅读相关部分，快速寻找有效信息，再把原文和选项相比较。问题与材料相同→对号入座；问题与原文相同→同义替换、归纳事实等。 (2024崇明二模) Yogasleep Rohm+ EFFECTIVELY MASKS NOISE: The Rohm effectively cancels out noises that may disturb or distract you for improved sleep and concentration. GENTLE SOUNDS: 20 different sounds including music, nature, white, pink, and brown noise, as well as Bluetooth speaker features to allow you to play your own music or sounds and to make a conference call on the road when you need. CRUSH (压坏) RESISTANT: Stylish, crush-resistant travel case fits perfectly with Yogasleep Rohm white noise machines. BATTERY OPERATED: Rechargeable through USB. 【答案】 61. B 【61题详解】 细节理解题。根据Yogasleep Rohm+中“GENTLE SOUNDS: 20 different sounds including music, nature, white, pink, and brown noise, as well as Bluetooth speaker features to allow you to play your own music or sounds and to make a conference call on the road when you need.(柔和的声音：20种不同的声音，包括音乐，自然，白色，粉红色和棕色的噪音，以及蓝牙扬声器功能，让你播放自己的音乐或声音，并在你需要的时候在路上召开电话会议)”可知，此款适合经常出差的朋友，以及其价格是$40.03。由此可知，如果你想给经常出差的朋友Tim买一台白噪音机，你需要支付40.03美元。故选B项。 · [方法3]. 选项排除法 排除法在应用文阅读中也应用得较多，即排除与文章内容不一致的错误信息，从而确定正确选项。应用文阅读理解设题以细节理解题为主，因此，阅读这类文章时，应该在整体把握文章结构的前提下，主要注意细节信息。细节题的题干都是相应原文的变形(如同义改写、词性转换等)，因此要找到答案一定要找到题干在原文中的出处，再把原文和选项相比较。做题时，根据所提问题用寻读、跳读的方法可达到事半功倍的效果。同时，在阅读时也要特别注意文中以粗体、大写、下划线等方式加以提示的文字，因为这很有可能是文章的核心或某一部分内容的概括。 (2024奉贤二模) WORLD 2024 Run Like Olympians WHERE Paris, France WHEN AUGUST For the first time, members of the public will be able to run their own marathon during the 2024 Summer Olympics, just one initiative aimed at creating a more inclusive Games.

D 【40题详解】 【导语】文章主要介绍了巴黎、京都、乔治亚州以及阿尔及利亚四个地方的魅力。 细节理解题。根据第一段“For the first time, members of the public will be able to run their own marathon during the 2024 Summer Olympics, just one initiative aimed at creating a more inclusive Games. Held in the evening between the men’s and women’s official races, the Marathon Games will allow 20,024 qualifying lottery (彩票) winners on the 26-mile route that links Paris and Versailles. (在2024年夏季奥运会期间，公众将首次能够参加自己的马拉松比赛，这只是旨在打造一届更具包容性的奥运会的一项举措。马拉松比赛在男子和女子官方比赛之间的晚上举行，将允许20024名符合资格的彩票获胜者参加连接巴黎和凡尔赛的26英里路线。)”可知，作为一个喜欢运动的学生，简在暑假期间最有可能去巴黎。故选D。 【上海市建平中学2023-2024学年高三英语3月检测】 The train was at a standstill, some twenty minutes outside Kolkata, when an unexpected stroke of luck presented Piya with an opportunity to go for a seat beside a window for some fresh air. She had been sitting in the stuffiest part of the train compartment, on the edge of a bench: now, moving to the open window, she saw that the train had stopped at a station called Champahati. Looking over her shoulder, Piya spotted a tea-seller on the platform. Reaching through the bars of the window, she called him with a wave. She had never cared for the kind of chai, Indian tea, sold in Seattle, her hometown in the USA, but somehow, in the ten days she had spent in India she had developed an unexpected taste for milky, overboiled tea served in earthenware cups. There were no spices in it for one thing, and this was more to her taste than the chai at home. She paid for her tea and was trying to get in the cup through the bars when the man in the seat opposite her own suddenly turned over a page, jolting her hand. She turned her wrist quickly enough to make sure that most of the tea spilled out of the window, but she could not prevent some from spilling over his papers. “Oh, I’m so sorry!” Piya was very embarrassed: of everyone in the compartment, this was the last person she would have chosen to injure with her tea. She had noticed him while waiting on the platform in Kolkata and she had been struck by the self-satisfied tilt of his head and the way in which he stared at everyone around him, taking them in, sizing them up, sorting them all into their places. “Here,” said Piya, producing a handful of tissues. “Let me help you clean up.” “There’s nothing to be done,” he said testily (暴躁地). “These pages are ruined anyway.” For a moment she considered pointing out that it was he who had knocked her hand. But all she could bring herself to say was, “I’m very sorry. I hope you’ll excuse me.” “Do I really have a choice?” he said. “Does anyone have a choice when they’re dealing with Americans these days?” Piya had no wish to get into an argument so she let this pass. Instead, she opened her eyes wide and, in an attempt to restore peace, came out with, “But how did you guess?” “About what?” “About my being American? You’re very observant.” This seemed to do the trick. His shoulders relaxed as he leaned back in his seat. “I didn’t guess,” he said. “I knew.” 1．In the first paragraph, Piya was relieved when she got a window seat because it meant that_________. A．there was more room for her luggage B．she no longer had to suffer from a lack of air C．there was less chance that she would miss her stop D．she didn’t have to stand for the rest of the train journey 2．Piya found that the tea or chai she had drunk in India ________. A．was disappointingly weak in taste B．reminded her of her home in Seattle C．would have tasted better if served fresh D．was preferable to the chai she had had before 3．When Piya first saw the man she thought that ________. A．he was someone who was observant of surroundings B．he seemed to think he was better than other people C．he had tried to keep his distance from his fellow passengers D．he had been looking for someone he knew on the station platform 4．Piya asked “But how did you guess?” in order to _________. A．find out what the man really thought about Americans B．try to calm the situation down by starting a conversation C．ensure the man realized that she had apologized D．make sure the man knew he was being rude 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了是美国小姑娘Piya在火车上的一次经历。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The train was at a standstill, some twenty minutes outside Kolkata, when an unexpected stroke of luck presented Piya with an opportunity to go for a seat beside a window for some fresh air. She had been sitting in the stuffiest part of the train compartment, on the edge of a bench, now, moving to the open window, she saw that the train had stopped at a station called Champahati. (火车停在离加尔各答大约二十分钟的地方，这时一个意外的机缘给了皮娅一个机会，她坐在靠窗的座位上呼吸新鲜空气。她一直坐在火车车厢最闷热的地方，坐在长凳边上，现在，她走到敞开的窗口，看到火车停在了一个叫Champahati的车站。)”可知，当Piya找到一个靠窗的座位时，她松了一口气，因为这意味着她再也不用忍受空气不足的痛苦了。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“She had never cared for the kind of chai, Indian tea, sold in Seattle, her hometown in the USA, but somehow, in the ten days she had spent in India she had developed an unexpected taste for milky, overboiled tea served in earthenware cups. There were no spices in it for one thing, and this was more to her taste than the chai at home.(她从来没有喜欢过在她的家乡美国西雅图出售的印度茶，但不知何故，在印度的十天里，她意外地喜欢上了用陶杯盛着的煮过的奶茶。首先，里面没有香料，这比家里的茶更合她的口味。)”可知，Piya发现她在印度喝的茶比她以前喝过的茶更美味。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“She had noticed him while waiting on the platform in Kolkata and she had been struck by the self-satisfied tilt of his head and the way in which he stared at everyone around him, taking them in, sizing them up, sorting them all into their places.(她是在加尔各答的月台上等车时注意到他的，他得意洋洋地歪着头，盯着周围每个人，打量着他们，把他们分门别类，给她留下了深刻的印象。)”可知，当皮娅第一次看到这个男人时，她觉得他似乎认为自己比别人好。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第四段“Piya had no wish to get into an argument so she let this pass. Instead, she opened her eyes wide and, in an attempt to restore peace, came out with, “But how did you guess?”(皮娅不想和别人争吵，所以她就不计较了。相反，她睁大了眼睛，试图恢复平静，说：“但是你是怎么猜到的？”)”以及最后一段“This seemed to do the trick. His shoulders relaxed as he leaned back in his seat.(这似乎奏效了。他向后靠在座位上，肩膀放松了下来。)”可知，Piya问“你是怎么猜的？”的目的是试图通过开始谈话来平息与男子之间紧张的局势。故选B。 【上海市松江二中2024年高三下学期3月月考】 In 1888 an Egyptian farmer digging in the sand near the village of Istabl Antar uncovered a mass grave. The bodies weren't human. They were feline-ancient cats that had been mummified（木乃伊化的）and buried in holes in astonishing numbers. "Not one or two here and there", reported English Illustrated Magazine, "but dozens, hundreds, hundreds of thousands, a layer of them, a layer thicker than most coal joints, ten to twenty cats deep." Some of the linen-wrapped cats still looked presentable, and a few even had golden faces. Village children peddled the best ones to tourists for change; the rest were disposed of as fertilizer. One ship transported about 180,000, weighing some 38, 000 pounds, to Liverpool to be spread on the fields of England. Those were the days of generously funded explorations-that dragged through acres of desert in their quest for royal tombs, and for splendid gold and painted masks to decorate the estates and museums of Europe and America. The many thousands of mummified animals that turned up at religious sites throughout Egypt were just things to be cleared away to get at the good stuff. Few people studied them, and their importance was generally unrecognized. In the century since then, archaeology has become less of a treasure hunt and more of a science. Archaeologists now realize that much of their sites' wealth lies in the majority of details about ordinary folks-what they did, what they thought, how they prayed. And animal mummies are a big part of that. "They're really displays of daily life," says Egyptologist Salima Ikram. After peering beneath bandages with x-rays and cataloguing her findings, she created a gallery for the collection-a bridge between people today and those of long ago. "You look at these mummified animals, and suddenly you say, "Oh, King So-and-So had a pet". I have a pet. And instead of being at a distance of 5,000-plus years, the ancient Egyptians become clearer and closer to us." 5．Which of the following words has the closest meaning to "peddled"（paragraph 1）？ A．Presented B．sold C．illustrated D．introduced 6．Why was archaeology once referred to as a "treasure hunt"（paragraph 3）？ A．People put great value on the majority of details about ancient people. B．Animal mummies could be made into fertilizer which is very valuable. C．It was hard to find animal mummies since they were buried under dirt. D．People sought the remains of ancient Egypt merely for their material value. 7．Which of the following is TRUE about Salima Ikram? A．She wishes to establish the continuity of pets over history. B．She believes that studying the remains can help modern society relate to the past. C．She wants to identify the King's personal belongings and catalogue them. D．She doubts if current society will understand the significance of Egyptian remains 8．This article probably encourages the readers to . A．value the past by studying the remains left behind by our ancestors B．make full use of the remains our ancestors have left behind C．understand that animal mummies are more important than gold and masks D．become more sensitive to the ancient lifestyle of our ancestors 【答案】5．B 6．D 7．B 8．A 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了古埃及人对木乃伊这些古遗迹前后态度行为的变化，由专注寻找宝藏到重视科学研究，通过研究古遗迹来了解古人的日常生活，考古也成为将现代人和古人连接起来的桥梁。 5．词义猜测题。定位到原文“Village children peddled the best ones to tourists for change”，即村里的孩子们将最好的制成木乃伊的猫“peddled”给游客以换取零钱，可以推测此处为卖给游客以换取零钱。A. presented展示；B. sold卖；C. illustrated举例说明；D. introduced介绍。故选B项。 6．词义猜测题。根据“treasure hunt”所在句子前面的句子“The many thousands of mummified animals that turned up at religious sites throughout Egypt were just things to be cleared away to get at the good stuff. Few people studied them, and their importance was generally unrecognized.”可以看出人们挖掘动物木乃伊只是为了得到好东西，而很少有人研究它们，它们的重要性也没有被认识到。紧接着“In the century since then, archaeology has become less of a treasure hunt and more of a science.”(从那以后的一个世纪里，考古学变得更像一门科学，而不是寻宝。)都说明了刚开始人们挖掘木乃伊、寻找古埃及遗迹只是为了寻找宝藏，只是为了它们本身的物质价值，而之后慢慢的才意识到了它们的科学价值。D项符合“treasure hunt”的意思，故选D项。 7．细节理解题。根据最后一段“she created a gallery for the collection-a bridge between people today and those of long ago.”(她为这些收藏品创建了一个画廊——在今天的人和很久以前的人之间架起了一座桥梁。)及“And instead of being at a distance of 5,000-plus years, the ancient Egyptians become clearer and closer to us.”(古埃及人不再距离我们5000多年，而是离我们越来越近。)可知这些收藏品让人们感觉古代人的生活离我们很近，即她认为研究这些遗迹有助于把现代社会和过去联系在一起，故选B项。 8．推理判断题。根据第三段“In the century since then, archaeology has…how they prayed. And animal mummies are a big part of that.”可知从那以后的一个世纪里，考古学变得更像一门科学，而不是寻宝。考古学家意识到，古遗址的大部分财富存在于普通人的大部分细节中——他们做了什么，他们想了什么，他们如何祈祷。动物木乃伊是其中很大的一部分。根据“They're really displays of daily life”可知木乃伊展示了古埃及人的日常生活，研究这些遗迹是了解他们的途径，所以这篇文章可能鼓励读者通过研究祖先留下的遗迹来珍视过去，故选A项。 【上海市零陵中学2023-2024学年下学期期中考试】 Wonders of Australia 22 days from only £6.245 per person Day 1: Depart UK Days 2-5: Singapore Enjoy a city tour including Merlion Park, Marina Bay, and fabulous gardens.

(在凯恩斯的游览包括前往库兰达的风景火车之旅，以及附近被列入世界遗产名录的丹特里雨林的一日游。)”可知，如果凯伦对铁路旅行上瘾，凯恩斯和甘河最有可能是她的最爱。故选A。 10．细节理解题。根据Day 12-14部分中的“Enjoy all inclusive Gold Service with on board meals included as are a wide selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

My daughter was getting married and I didn’t want to live six hours away, so we made the move. Once we moved, we were made unneeded and it was a mad race to get work. I ended up at here at Cheddar Gorge and Caves. Cheddar Gorge is like nothing else in the UK. It’s a unique phenomenon, because although there are other caves in the country, you don’t have the gorge elsewhere. This is a major geological feature, it’s three miles long and there’s just this natural, raw beauty. I can sit at my desk in guest services and look out at part of the gorge. It’s amazing. The Cheddar Gorge spirit is strong. You know, not having worked here or heard about the area, you come here and it gets under your skin in the right way. You become part of it, it becomes part of you. I’m very passionate about it. And there’s the amazing wildlife, the geology, the prehistory — Cheddar Man is still one of the greatest finds in the UK. Every day at Cheddar Gorge and Caves is different. You’ve got the rock sports side of things, the climbing, the caving. We take people through the caves on tours and we have pre-history, which we do with the museum, whereby we have schools come in and do demonstrations with them. We will dress up as genuinely as we can to reproduce the time period of the Cheddar Man, which is the Mesolithic period, so 10,000 years ago. We do fire lighting, for example, and hopefully it’s inspiring to the young people! It’s really cool to be in the museum garden and have part of the gorge as the background while you’re doing it, so you can really submerge yourself in that moment. My favourite spot is when you go past the peak on the walk and you can look back down into the gorge or across to the reservoir. The view is amazing. Yes, you can see pictures of it, but honestly you have to be there to fully appreciate it. You might hear some buzzards or see some sheep or goats while you’re up there, just to enhance the experience! 36. PAUL HEMINGTON originally moved to Cheddar Gorge to __________.

It’s a unique phenomenon, because although there are other caves in the country, you don’t have the gorge elsewhere. (Cheddar Gorge在英国是独一无二的。这是一种独特的现象，因为尽管这个国家还有其他洞穴，但你在其他地方没有峡谷。)”以及第四段中“The Cheddar Gorge spirit is strong. (The Cheddar Gorge的精神是很强劲的)以及第五段中“Every day at Cheddar Gorge and Caves is different. (在Cheddar Gorge和洞穴的每一天都不一样。)”以及第六段中“My favourite spot is when you go past the peak on the walk and you can look back down into the gorge or across to the reservoir. (我最喜欢的地方是当你走过山顶时，你可以回头看到峡谷或对面的水库。)”以及通读全文可知，整篇文章都围绕PAUL HEMINGTON对Cheddar Gorge的热情和对其自然美丽、野生动物、地质学和史前历史等方面的认识和喜爱进行了描述。因此，他谈论的主题是Cheddar Gorge对他来说有什么特别之处。故选D。 （2024年长宁区二模） Overseas Learning Somerset Yew Wah Classroom, UK Somerset Yew Wah Classroom program is a unique English language and life education program in the Yew Wah secondary curriculum catered for Grade 6, Grade 8 and Grade 10 students.

Paris 【上海市建平中学2023-2024学年高三英语3月检测】 The train was at a standstill, some twenty minutes outside Kolkata, when an unexpected stroke of luck presented Piya with an opportunity to go for a seat beside a window for some fresh air. She had been sitting in the stuffiest part of the train compartment, on the edge of a bench: now, moving to the open window, she saw that the train had stopped at a station called Champahati. Looking over her shoulder, Piya spotted a tea-seller on the platform. Reaching through the bars of the window, she called him with a wave. She had never cared for the kind of chai, Indian tea, sold in Seattle, her hometown in the USA, but somehow, in the ten days she had spent in India she had developed an unexpected taste for milky, overboiled tea served in earthenware cups. There were no spices in it for one thing, and this was more to her taste than the chai at home. She paid for her tea and was trying to get in the cup through the bars when the man in the seat opposite her own suddenly turned over a page, jolting her hand. She turned her wrist quickly enough to make sure that most of the tea spilled out of the window, but she could not prevent some from spilling over his papers. “Oh, I’m so sorry!” Piya was very embarrassed: of everyone in the compartment, this was the last person she would have chosen to injure with her tea. She had noticed him while waiting on the platform in Kolkata and she had been struck by the self-satisfied tilt of his head and the way in which he stared at everyone around him, taking them in, sizing them up, sorting them all into their places. “Here,” said Piya, producing a handful of tissues. “Let me help you clean up.” “There’s nothing to be done,” he said testily (暴躁地). “These pages are ruined anyway.” For a moment she considered pointing out that it was he who had knocked her hand. But all she could bring herself to say was, “I’m very sorry. I hope you’ll excuse me.” “Do I really have a choice?” he said. “Does anyone have a choice when they’re dealing with Americans these days?” Piya had no wish to get into an argument so she let this pass. Instead, she opened her eyes wide and, in an attempt to restore peace, came out with, “But how did you guess?” “About what?” “About my being American? You’re very observant.” This seemed to do the trick. His shoulders relaxed as he leaned back in his seat. “I didn’t guess,” he said. “I knew.” 1．In the first paragraph, Piya was relieved when she got a window seat because it meant that_________. A．there was more room for her luggage B．she no longer had to suffer from a lack of air C．there was less chance that she would miss her stop D．she didn’t have to stand for the rest of the train journey 2．Piya found that the tea or chai she had drunk in India ________. A．was disappointingly weak in taste B．reminded her of her home in Seattle C．would have tasted better if served fresh D．was preferable to the chai she had had before 3．When Piya first saw the man she thought that ________. A．he was someone who was observant of surroundings B．he seemed to think he was better than other people C．he had tried to keep his distance from his fellow passengers D．he had been looking for someone he knew on the station platform 4．Piya asked “But how did you guess?” in order to _________. A．find out what the man really thought about Americans B．try to calm the situation down by starting a conversation C．ensure the man realized that she had apologized D．make sure the man knew he was being rude 【上海市松江二中2024年高三下学期3月月考】 In 1888 an Egyptian farmer digging in the sand near the village of Istabl Antar uncovered a mass grave. The bodies weren't human. They were feline-ancient cats that had been mummified（木乃伊化的）and buried in holes in astonishing numbers. "Not one or two here and there", reported English Illustrated Magazine, "but dozens, hundreds, hundreds of thousands, a layer of them, a layer thicker than most coal joints, ten to twenty cats deep." Some of the linen-wrapped cats still looked presentable, and a few even had golden faces. Village children peddled the best ones to tourists for change; the rest were disposed of as fertilizer. One ship transported about 180,000, weighing some 38, 000 pounds, to Liverpool to be spread on the fields of England. Those were the days of generously funded explorations-that dragged through acres of desert in their quest for royal tombs, and for splendid gold and painted masks to decorate the estates and museums of Europe and America. The many thousands of mummified animals that turned up at religious sites throughout Egypt were just things to be cleared away to get at the good stuff. Few people studied them, and their importance was generally unrecognized. In the century since then, archaeology has become less of a treasure hunt and more of a science. Archaeologists now realize that much of their sites' wealth lies in the majority of details about ordinary folks-what they did, what they thought, how they prayed. And animal mummies are a big part of that. "They're really displays of daily life," says Egyptologist Salima Ikram. After peering beneath bandages with x-rays and cataloguing her findings, she created a gallery for the collection-a bridge between people today and those of long ago. "You look at these mummified animals, and suddenly you say, "Oh, King So-and-So had a pet". I have a pet. And instead of being at a distance of 5,000-plus years, the ancient Egyptians become clearer and closer to us." 5．Which of the following words has the closest meaning to "peddled"（paragraph 1）？ A．Presented B．sold C．illustrated D．introduced 6．Why was archaeology once referred to as a "treasure hunt"（paragraph 3）？ A．People put great value on the majority of details about ancient people. B．Animal mummies could be made into fertilizer which is very valuable. C．It was hard to find animal mummies since they were buried under dirt. D．People sought the remains of ancient Egypt merely for their material value. 7．Which of the following is TRUE about Salima Ikram? A．She wishes to establish the continuity of pets over history. B．She believes that studying the remains can help modern society relate to the past. C．She wants to identify the King's personal belongings and catalogue them. D．She doubts if current society will understand the significance of Egyptian remains 8．This article probably encourages the readers to . A．value the past by studying the remains left behind by our ancestors B．make full use of the remains our ancestors have left behind C．understand that animal mummies are more important than gold and masks D．become more sensitive to the ancient lifestyle of our ancestors 【上海市零陵中学2023-2024学年下学期期中考试】 Wonders of Australia 22 days from only £6.245 per person Day 1: Depart UK Days 2-5: Singapore Enjoy a city tour including Merlion Park, Marina Bay, and fabulous gardens.

My daughter was getting married and I didn’t want to live six hours away, so we made the move. Once we moved, we were made unneeded and it was a mad race to get work. I ended up at here at Cheddar Gorge and Caves. Cheddar Gorge is like nothing else in the UK. It’s a unique phenomenon, because although there are other caves in the country, you don’t have the gorge elsewhere. This is a major geological feature, it’s three miles long and there’s just this natural, raw beauty. I can sit at my desk in guest services and look out at part of the gorge. It’s amazing. The Cheddar Gorge spirit is strong. You know, not having worked here or heard about the area, you come here and it gets under your skin in the right way. You become part of it, it becomes part of you. I’m very passionate about it. And there’s the amazing wildlife, the geology, the prehistory — Cheddar Man is still one of the greatest finds in the UK. Every day at Cheddar Gorge and Caves is different. You’ve got the rock sports side of things, the climbing, the caving. We take people through the caves on tours and we have pre-history, which we do with the museum, whereby we have schools come in and do demonstrations with them. We will dress up as genuinely as we can to reproduce the time period of the Cheddar Man, which is the Mesolithic period, so 10,000 years ago. We do fire lighting, for example, and hopefully it’s inspiring to the young people! It’s really cool to be in the museum garden and have part of the gorge as the background while you’re doing it, so you can really submerge yourself in that moment. My favourite spot is when you go past the peak on the walk and you can look back down into the gorge or across to the reservoir. The view is amazing. Yes, you can see pictures of it, but honestly you have to be there to fully appreciate it. You might hear some buzzards or see some sheep or goats while you’re up there, just to enhance the experience! 36. PAUL HEMINGTON originally moved to Cheddar Gorge to __________.
