This arouse a passion that has since defined her life. River surfing, once a excited activity, is now gaining public attention in the Midwest as an exciting outdoor sport.(Hannah Ray J在爱荷华州的一条河中间偶然注意到一名冲浪者后，被介绍给河流冲浪。这激起了她一生的热情。河上冲浪曾经是一项令人兴奋的活动，现在在中西部地区作为一项令人兴奋的户外运动而受到公众的关注。)”可推知，第一段主要讲述的是Hannah Ray J对冲浪的兴趣来源，故选C项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“They’ve even named a board “Wave Farmer” in honor of those living near these new recreation spots. (他们甚至将一块板子命名为“Wave Farmer”，以纪念居住在这些新休闲场所附近的人们。)”可知，将一块板子命名为“Wave Farmer”是向住在这些新冲浪区附近的当地人致敬。故选A项。 【30题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“Technological advancements have helped transform river surfing from a rare to a mainstream activity.

Other cities are looking to reproduce these successes with plans for Whitewater parks on their rivers.(社区对此类活动的支持也很明显，与白水活动相关的企业扩展到该地区。其他城市正在寻求复制这些成功，并计划在河流上建立白水公园。)”及最后一段“However, challenges remain, including water quality issues, variable river flows, and safety risks associated with fast-moving water. Despite these barriers, river surfing looks set to continue its rise in popularity, offering both thrills and economic opportunities for many communities. (然而，挑战依然存在，包括水质问题、河流流量变化以及与快速流动的水相关的安全风险。尽管存在这些障碍，但河上冲浪似乎将继续受欢迎，为许多社区提供刺激和经济机会。)”可推知，尽管存在这些障碍，但河上冲浪也将继续受欢迎，如果能解决障碍，它的受欢迎程度会上升，故选B项。 五、（广西钦州市示范性高中2024年春季学期第三阶段考试）七选五 On hearing the word vacation, most people react positively.

Furthermore, if friends are close, even a terrible trip will not ruin the friendship.(亲密的朋友往往有相似的性格，所以他们通常会相处得很好，比家庭成员在旅行中打架要少。此外，如果朋友是亲密的，即使一次可怕的旅行也不会破坏友谊。)”说明了和朋友一起出去旅游是很好的，空格处应该引出“和朋友出去旅游”这个话题，F选项“Traveling with friends can be an unforgettable experience for several reasons.(和朋友一起旅行可能是一次难忘的经历，原因有几个。)”引出了和朋友出去旅游这个话题，说明了和朋友出去旅游是难忘的，因此引出下文，符合语境，故选F。 【39题详解】 空前“Furthermore, if friends are close, even a terrible trip will not ruin the friendship.(此外，如果朋友是亲密的，即使一次可怕的旅行也不会破坏友谊。)”说明了如果和亲密的朋友出去旅游，即使是可怕的旅游也不会破坏友谊，空格处应该继续这个话题，说可怕的旅游不会破坏友谊，却会给友谊带来好处，E选项“In fact, friendships are often strengthened with the travel memories.(事实上，友谊往往会随着旅行的回忆而加强。)”说明了友谊会随着旅行的回忆加强，说明了旅游给友谊带来的好处，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选E。 【40题详解】 空前“Solo travelers can be more flexible with transportation than those traveling in a large group.(独自旅行的人在选择交通工具方面比跟团旅行的人更灵活。)”说明了独自旅行在选择交通工具方面比跟团旅行的人更灵活，空格处应该说明灵活体现在什么方面，A选项“They can change plans more easily.(他们可以更容易地改变计划。)”说明了他们可以更容易地改变计划，体现了灵活性，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选A。 六、（江西省上饶市蓝天教育集团2023-2024学年高二下学期期中）语法填空 阅读下面短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求，完成对该问题的回答。 Six months ago, Xie Lei boarded a plane for London.

Lu Yao is having a problem with an English listening task. He has trouble hearing the weak forms of the words which are not stressed. He should pay more attention to the weak forms, watch some movies, and study how the weak forms are used. What problem is Lu Yao having? How can he solve his problem? Pronunciation： Lu Yao: Excuse me, Miss Conner. I'm having a problem with this English listening task. Some words are pronounced really fast and sound different. Miss Conner: Oh, let me listen .. Yes, that's probably because the words are not being stressed. You see, English is a stress-based language. Lu Yao: So does this mean I need to know which words are stressed and which are not? Miss Conner: Yes, I'm afraid so. English words have a strong form and a weak form.Words like pronouns, articles, prepositions, and so on are often not stressed. So we usually use the weak form for them when we speak. Lu Yao: Oh no. When I speak, I worry people won't understand me, so I always try to pronounce all my words really clearly. No wonder my classmates say I sound like a robot! Miss Conner: Oh dear! Well, I suggest you pay more attention to the weak forms. For example, in the sentence "Are you studying hard?", the words“are" and "you" are pronounced as /a/ and /ja/. Lu Yao: Oh, I get it. Thanks, Miss Conner. Miss Conner: You're welcome. I also suggest you watch some movies and study how the weak forms are used. Lu Yao: That's great advice, Miss Conner! I'm going to watch a movie right now. Thanks again! Bye! Lu Yao: Oh no.
