阅读 A (2024·上海松江区质检改编) 体裁:记叙文 主题语境:历史与文化 难度:★★★☆☆
Every summer, as a child, I spent with my parents the annual family holiday, flying away from our home in the West Midlands to their birthplace in Ireland.
I enjoyed it, but once, I behaved differently and left home. Package tours and long-distance flights became my idea of a holiday. I then went and ran into an Englishman who also came of Irish stock, and we both felt the urge to renew our knowledge of Ireland.

It was important for us to discover something different from our childhood visits. So that’s how we came to drive along the winding St John’s Point Peninsula (半岛) in Donegal, part of Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way, to visit a unique part of the 20th-century history—the Donegal Corridor.

When anyone drives to the point where the land runs out, he sees giant white stones fixed firmly in green grass spelling out “EIRE” and “70”, while the Atlantic wind fiercely blows across the headland and the ice-white waves smash into the rocks below. The meaning behind the stones? They date back to the Second World War when St John’s Point was number 70 in a total of 83 Look Out Points (LOPs), observation stations set up and maintained by Ireland all around its coast.

There lies a bit of curious UK-Ireland history. Although Ireland was officially neutral during the war, the Battle of the Atlantic was being fought close to Irish shores, and these LOPs, staffed by local volunteers known as Coast watchers, passed on information on activities connected with the sea and weather fronts to London.

At St John’s Point, we were standing right under the Donegal Corridor, a long narrow area of airspace in which Ireland ensured safe passage during World War Ⅱ to planes in the RAF (Royal Air Force) from bases in the UK-governed North of Ireland. The stone markings acted as reference points to aircrews.
Standing on this rough area of land surrounded by the wild and windy ocean brought home to us the conditions where the Coast watchers and aircrews in the RAF cooperated in a shared history.

I revolted against my family tradition that summer, and I fulfilled my aim of discovering something new and absorbed all Donegal has to offer: empty golden beaches, mysterious ancient stone circles, folk music and crafts, and tasty food. I had fallen in love with Ireland all over again.

答案与解析 C 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段可知, 在圣约翰角,他们正站在多尼戈尔走廊的正下方,这是一个狭长的空域,在第二次世界大战期间,爱尔兰确保了英国皇家空军(RAF)的飞机从英国统治的北爱尔兰基地安全通过。这些石头标记充当了机组人员的参考点。由此可知,这些白色巨石在二战中很重要是因为它们是英国皇家空军机组人员的参考点。故选C项。

A. worried about B. passed on C. celebrated D. disobeyed

阅读 B (2023·全国乙卷) 体裁:议论文 主题语境:历史、社会与文化 难度:★★★☆☆
If you want to tell the history of the whole world, a history that does not privilege one part of humanity, you cannot do it through texts alone, because only some of the world has ever had texts, while most of the world, for most of the time, has not. Writing is one of humanity’s later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate (有文字的) societies recorded their concerns not only in writing but in things.

Ideally a history would bring together texts and objects, and some chapters of this book are able to do just that, but in many cases we simply can’t. The clearest example of this between literate and non-literate history is perhaps the first conflict, at Botany Bay, between Captain Cook’s voyage and the Australian Aboriginals. From the English side, we have scientific reports and the captain’s record of that terrible day. From the Australian side, we have only a wooden shield (盾) dropped by a man in flight after his first experience of gunshot. If we want to reconstruct what was actually going on that day, the shield must be questioned and interpreted as deeply and strictly as the written reports.

In addition to the problem of miscomprehension from both sides, there are victories accidentally or deliberately twisted, especially when only the victors know how to write. Those who are on the losing side often have only their things to tell their stories. The Caribbean Taino, the Australian Aboriginals, the African people of Benin and the Incas, all of whom appear in this book, can speak to us now of their past achievements most powerfully through the objects they made: a history told through

things gives them back a voice. When we consider contact (联系) between literate and non-literate societies such as these, all our first-hand accounts are necessarily twisted, only one half of a dialogue. If we are to find the other half of that conversation, we have to read not just the texts, but the objects.
对于历史事件的考证不能仅凭文字记录,要注重文字记录和实物相互印证,以帮助我们重现真实的历史。

答案与解析 D 写作意图题。本题考查例子的作用。为了证明某个观点,作者往往会举例说明。本题提及库克船长的例子,是为了说明第一句提到的观点:理想的历史记录方式应该结合文字记录和物品记录, 但在许多情况下,无法实现文字和物品的结合。具体实例涉及库克船长和澳大利亚土著人之间的冲突,这一事件说明了文字记录和物品记录之间的差异:英国方面有科学报告和船长的记录,而澳大利亚方面只有一块木盾牌。段落最后强调了物品的重要性: 为了重新构建当天发生的情况,木盾牌必须像文字记录一样经过深入和严格的审查和诠释。由此可知,作者举这个例子是为了说明船长的文字记录是片面的(one-sided),没有结合物品, 只从自己的角度描述了问题。

6.What does the underlined word “conversation” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Problem. B. History. C. Voice. D. Society.
答案与解析 B 词句猜测题。 推断画线词含义要与文章主旨一致, conversation出现在文章的最后一段,是对文章主旨的总结。文章上文反复强调理解历史,人们不仅要看书面材料,还要看一些物品呈现出来的内容。由此可知conversation是history的同义表达。

答案与解析 C 文章出处题。 本文第一段引入主题, 说明文本和物品在历史记录中的重要性→第二段举库克船长的例子说明物品在历史记录中的重要性→第三段强调失败方物品在历史记录中的作用,并举例加勒比泰诺人、澳大利亚土著人、非洲贝宁人和印加人, 强调物品记录可以弥补历史中的失声。由文章主旨和文章关键词things, objects可推断出C项“《100件实物中的世界历史》”正确。
干扰项分析:A项《地图如何讲述世界的故事》和D项《艺术作品如何讲述故事》和文章内容不符;B项《澳大利亚简史》以偏概全,漏失信息。
