Others charge ... others rely on a combination of both．”可知，有些人的报酬来自旅馆或餐厅等旅行供应商，其他人通过收取咨询费获取报酬，还有一些人的报酬来源是这两者的结合。E项“旅行代理商通过各种方式提供他们的服务来赚钱”符合语境。] 3．A　[根据空处所在位置可知，空处应为本段小标题；再结合本段内容尤其是“using an agent with that specialty can give you a bonus”可知，本段旨在建议选择一个有专长的旅行代理商。A项“选择一个专家”符合语境。] 4．G　[根据空前的“using an agent with that specialty can give you a bonus”可知，找一个有这方面专长的旅行代理商会给你带来额外的好处；再结合空后的“They'll know how to book the best ... most of the sailing．”可知，空处内容应是专业人士会带来什么样的好处的具体阐述，故G项正确。空后的“They”指代G项中的“Those professionals”。] 5．D　[根据空前内容可知，无论是和孩子们一起旅行，还是和大家庭一起庆祝里程碑式的生日或周年纪念，你都希望带着珍贵的回忆回来，由此可推知，D项“旅行代理商可以为你提供一个值得的假期”符合语境。] Ⅲ．【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了有关世界上最古老的硬币铸造厂的考古发现。 1．was used　[考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：大约2 600年前，这个地方被用来铸造金属货币。设空处在句中作谓语，主语The site是单数，与use之间为被动关系，用被动语态；around 2，600 years ago是具体的过去时间，谓语动词用一般过去时。故填was used。] 2．what　[考查名词性从句。句意：它位于现在中国河南省的官庄遗址。根据句意再结合空前的介词in可知，设空处引导宾语从句，从句中缺少主语，指“……的东西”，故填what。] 3．conclusion　[考查词性转换。句意：利用放射性碳定年法，研究人员得出结论，该作坊在公元前640年至公元前550年之间开始铸造。空前为定冠词，设空处应填名词，在句中作came to的宾语，故填conclusion。come to a conclusion为固定搭配，意为“得出结论”，此处表示特指，用了定冠词。] 4．truly　[考查词性转换。句意：造币厂的发现确实令人兴奋，因为它表明了一个非常古老的硬币作坊的存在。设空处修饰后面的形容词exciting，表示“确实”，应用副词truly。] 5．made　[考查非谓语动词。句意：作坊里铸造的金属货币是“铲币”。are为本句的系动词，动词make与其之间无连接词，应用非谓语动词形式作后置定语，修饰The coins；二者在逻辑上是被动关系，应用过去分词。故填made。] 6．shells　[考查名词复数。句意：在春秋时期，它们取代了贝壳。shell为可数名词，根据前面的The coins和They并结合句意可知，此处需用其复数形式。故填shells。] 7．which　[考查定语从句。句意：该作坊靠近该市的行政中心，这表明它可能是根据政府命令开始铸造金属货币的。逗号前后无连词，由此可知，设空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为前面整个主句内容，应用关系代词which，并在从句中作主语。故填which。] 8．to　[考查介词。句意：这项新研究加剧了长期以来关于货币起源的争论。add... to... 是固定搭配，意为“把……加到……上”。故填to。] 9．began　[考查动词的时态。句意：一些学者认为，货币最初是帮助商人和顾客之间进行贸易的一种方式。分析句子结构可知，argue为主句的谓语动词，后面为that引导的宾语从句，从句的主语为money，设空处应填谓语动词；由句意可知，这里说的是很久以前的事，谓语动词用一般过去时。故填began。] 10．to allow　[考查非谓语动词。句意：其他人说，政府创建它是考虑到征税和收债。分析句子结构可知，say为主句谓语动词，后面为省略that的宾语从句，从句中created为谓语动词，动词allow与其之间无连词，应为非谓语动词；结合句意可知，征税和收债是政府创建它的目的，因此用动词不定式在句中作目的状语。故填to allow。] Ⅳ．【参考范文】 My tense thoughts were interrupted by the realization that my friends were already beginning to climb! My anxiety increased as I watched them．“Do I turn back? My whole being shouted．” “Yes！” “Will I regret it later? I really want to get to the top, but... ” I voiced my uncertainties to my friends．They dismissed my fears and encouraged me to stick it out．Questioning my own ability, I decided at least to attempt the climb．I chose a path that seemed easiest with my friends ahead of me．When the “path” led up to an extremely narrow area, the difficulties increased, with scary spots one after another．My breathing sped up, and my heart pounded even faster, growing loud in my ears． My friends kept right on climbing but they did not forget me．Someone was always behind me to help hold my feet steady when necessary, while someone else was ahead to offer a hand up．I trusted them more than myself．With friends supporting me by words and actions, I slowly gained ground．Finally we came to the toughest place．Once again I shrank when I peered back at the steep slope of rocks．“You can make it! We won't let you fall．” My friends' assurances gave me the strength to go on．When my feet made contact with the solid rock on the top, I heaved a huge sigh of relief．I could feel all the fear draining out of me．I never felt so alive, and so thankful for my friends and that life． 1/4 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 课时分层作业(四十) 选择性必修第四册　Unit 4　Everyday economics Ⅰ．阅读理解(限时7分钟) (2024·太原市一模)As thrift was introduced into mainstream pop culture, young people started going to thrift stores for cheaper, fashionable finds．Gen Z consumers state that sustainability is an important factor while making buying decisions．Many choose to shop for a second­hand or resale item of eco­friendly products．Thrift shopping may have once been on the to­do list of people in poverty．But now a rise in eco­conscious thinking has caused young people to pop to thrift stores． However, scientists recently have come to realize such trendy sustainable practices could actually be less rosy than expected． Actually, the root of this sustainability dilemma is not only assessing what you use in your life, but the overconsumption．“Buying piles of second­hand clothing doesn't help to build a sustainable future or challenge our addiction to shopping whenever we want them，” says Anna Fitzpatrick, a project coordinator at the Centre for Sustainable Fashion．In some cases, the very existence of second­hand stores can give us a false sense of guiltlessness．Fitzpatrick adds, “We can clear out our entire wardrobe by leaving what we don't want at a second­hand store with the hope that it'll be put into good use．Instead of buying less, we trick ourselves into thinking we can shop our way out of the problem by donating again and again．” While shopping second­hand may seem like fun, or even an adventurous activity for fashion lovers, it's absolutely essential for people of limited budget．With thrifting reaching new levels of popularity, a great many people are noticing a rise in prices at their local thrift stores．This can influence those who rely on the used market for everyday wear． “Actually, they aren't shopping in second­hand shops to be sustainable or cool—they're doing it out of necessity，” says Fitzpatrick．So, when you walk into a thrift shop or any store, it's important to ask yourself whether it is necessary．While buying second­hand used to be economical and sustainable, it's now about consumption and staying on trend．Just remember, when it comes to your wardrobe, less is more helpful for society and the planet． 1．Who has become the mainstream thrift store shoppers recently? A．Fashion followers． B．Lower­income individuals． C．Young environmentalists． D．Green initiative scientists． 2．What view do scientists hold toward thrift shopping? A．It is a virtue of thrift． B．It is sustainable action． C．It challenges addiction to shopping． D．It comes with worrying effects potentially． 3．Why do second­hand stores make us feel guiltless according to Fitzpatrick? A．They can cut down our living expenses． B．They give us good excuses for the waste． C．They are responsible for the environment． D．They provide affordable items for the poor． 4．Which is suggested about thrift shopping according to the text? A．Restricting the desire of overconsumption． B．Feeling free to purchase the things you like． C．Making contributions to society by donating． D．Keeping away from cheap and fashionable finds． Ⅱ．阅读七选五(限时7分钟) (2024·南京市六校联合调研) Planning a family trip?

passage through its trees seemed unlikely to be achieved．The majority of my view was filled with rocks．Peering back down toward the river, I saw a steep slope of rocks all the way to the water．All I could think about was how far it would be to fall． 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 My tense thoughts were interrupted by the realization that my friends were already beginning to climb！____________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ My friends kept right on climbing but they did not forget me．_________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________ 5/5 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
