I have dreamt of taking a trip to Hawaii since I graduated but the best thing always needs waiting I took a trip with my friends to Haleakala National Park which lies in Hawaii.
When we arrived at Haleakala National Park, we were advised to watch the early morning sunrise. I was lost in the sightseeing that afternoon so I could hardly wait to meet the sunrise. In the next morning we all jumped out of the bed very early at 3 o’clock and walked to the rocks by the seaside. In the first half an hour we imagined how wonderful it would be when the first light came out through the thick clouds and how soft it would be when the light touched our skin so we waited and waited. However, another half an hour later I gradually lost my patience since there was nothing but the cold darkness and I felt that I was frozen to death. But my friends were still extremely cheerful.
Nearly another one hour later, “Fantastic!” a word burst out from Judy and we all shouted to welcome the light orange greatness which is really unbelievable. Until today I dare say that it is the most impressive sunrise in my life. However, waiting in the morning darkness is also the one I cannot wipe out forever.
Waiting sometimes is really a hard thing for most of us as it needs patience and strong-willed determination, but what about the result after that? It might turn out to be pleasingly unbelievable and satisfied. So, it is really worthwhile to wait for the best.
4. When did they see the first light of the sunrise?
A. About 3 o’clock. B. About 4 o’clock.
C. Nearly 6 o’clock. D. Nearly 5 o’clock.
5 What’s the author’s attitude towards waiting for the sunrise?
A. Cheerful all the time. B. Regretful all the time.
C. Firstly excited then impatient. D. Firstly interested then sad.
6. What does the author want to tell us by writing this passage?
A. Hawaii is a good place to enjoy the sunrise. B. Sometimes it is worthwhile to wait for the best.
C. I enjoyed the most flaming sunrise in my life. D. My friends and I took a trip to Hawaii.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者和朋友们去夏威夷的Haleakala国家公园看日出的经历,告诉我们美好的事物是值得我们去付出耐心和毅力来等待的。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In the next morning we all jumped out of the bed very early at 3 o’clock and walked to the rocks by the seaside. In the first half an hour we imagined how wonderful it would be when the first light came out through the thick clouds and how soft it would be when the light touched our skin so we waited and waited.(第二天早上,我们都很早就从床上跳起来,在3点钟,走到海边的岩石。在最初的半个小时里,我们想象着当第一缕阳光从厚厚的云层中出来时,那将是多么美妙,当阳光照射到我们的皮肤时,它将是多么柔软,所以我们等啊等啊。)”可知,此时已是三点半;再根据第二段中“However, another half an hour later I gradually lost my patience since there was nothing but the cold darkness and I felt that I was frozen to death.(但又过了半个小时,我渐渐失去了耐心,除了寒冷的黑暗什么也没有,我觉得自己快要冻死了。)”可知,此时已是四点;又根据第三段中“Nearly another one hour later, “Fantastic!” a word burst out from Judy and we all shouted to welcome the light orange greatness which is really unbelievable.(又过了将近一个小时,“太棒了!”朱迪突然说了一句话,我们都大声欢呼,欢迎这个令人难以置信的淡橙色的伟大。)”可知,一个小时后,也就是五点,作者和他的朋友们终于迎来了日出。故选D。
5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“I was lost in the sightseeing that afternoon so I could hardly wait to meet the sunrise.(那天下午我沉浸在观光中,所以我迫不及待地想见到日出。)”可知,作者起初对于看日出这件事感到兴奋;再根据第二段“However, another half an hour later I gradually lost my patience since there was nothing but the cold darkness and I felt that I was frozen to death.(但又过了半个小时,我渐渐失去了耐心,除了寒冷的黑暗什么也没有,我觉得自己快要冻死了。)”可知,等待日出时的寒冷使作者失去了耐心,由此可知作者的心理状态由最初的兴奋变得没有耐心。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“It might turn out to be pleasingly unbelievable and satisfied. So, it is really worthwhile to wait for the best.(结果可能是令人愉快的难以置信和满足。所以,等待最好的结果是值得的。)”可知,作者想表达的观点就是:有时美好值得等待。故选B。
C
When I first began running in high school on the track team, it made sense to carefully clock every mile and push myself to race for personal bests. But as I changed from running for sport to running for amusement as an adult, I found that tracking my workouts often just ended with frustration. And it wasn’t until my watch battery died several years ago that I first experienced the sense of calm that came with running for the pure joy of it. I never replaced the watch battery, and that might not be a bad thing for my fitness goals.
This is the idea of unplugged (不插电的) running, which is gaining steam in the fitness community. And recent research has shown that getting rid of your running watch, especially if it’s a smartwatch or fitness tracker, could actually improve your workout — or at least your enjoyment of running.
“People used to have an interest in their sport and get enjoyment out of the sport but now that’s switching to the data,” said Eoin Whelan, a senior lecturer at the National University of Ireland Galway. “They will compare themselves to people who are better than them, who are running faster or running longer. And in the end we know that makes them feel bad. ”
Whelan also noted that people who are very dependent on smart watches or fitness trackers are more likely to skip their workouts if the batteries on their tracking devices are dead.
Instead, running watch-free is beneficial. Some professionals also have had success with leaving their watches at home. Welsh runner Steve Jones famously set a world record at the 1984 Chicago Marathon without wearing a watch. More recently, Olympic marathoner Trevor Hofbauer made headlines for winning the 2019 Canadian Marathon Championships without a watch.
“If you have too much information being fed to you in real time, it can kind of get in your head,” Hofbauer said. “For me, the simpler, the better.”
7. The author began to find the pure joy of running when he/she ________.
A. ran for the school track team B. achieved his/her fitness goals
C. tracked his/her own workouts D. stopped using a running watch
8. What does Eoin Whelan say about fitness tracking watches?
A. They can enrich the wearers’ social life.
B. They can lead to harmful consequences.
C. The way people use them is proper.
D. The data provided by them is unreliable.
9. How is paragraph 5 developed?
A. By giving examples. B. By listing official data.
C. By answering questions. D. By making comparisons.
10. What is the main idea of the text?
A. It's good to abandon your running watch.
B. Unplugged running actually has two sides.
C. Comparing with others should be avoided.
D. Racing for personal bests requires simplicity.
【答案】7. D 8. B 9. A 10. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,讲的是运动手表会影响我们享受跑步的过程,还会带来其他负面影响,因此在跑步时不戴运动手表是一个不错的选择。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的倒数第二句“And it wasn’t until my watch battery died several years ago that I first experienced the sense of calm that came with running for the pure joy of it.”(直到几年前我手表电池用完后,我才第一次体验到一份宁静和纯粹的跑步的乐趣。)可知,当作者停止使用运动手表的时候,作者开始体会到纯粹的跑步的乐趣。故选D项。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的最后两句“They will compare themselves to people who are better than them, who are running faster or running longer. And in the end we know that makes them feel bad.”(他们会和更好的人攀比,和跑得更快或跑得更久的人攀比。最终,我们知道那样会让他们更难受。)约恩·惠兰认为运动追踪手表会带来相互攀比的问题,会让运动者感觉很糟糕;及根据第四段“Whelan also noted that people who are very dependent on smart watches or fitness trackers are more likely to skip their workouts if the batteries on their tracking devices are dead.”(惠兰还指出,人们如果过度依赖智能手表或运动追踪手表,一旦手表电池没电了,很可能就会丧失运动的动力。)可知,对运动手表的过度依赖会让人们失去内在的运动动力。由这两点可推断,运动手表会导致不良后果。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段的最后两句“Welsh runner Steve Jones famously set a world record at the 1984 Chicago Marathon without wearing a watch. More recently, Olympic marathoner Trevor Hofbauer made headlines for winning the 2019 Canadian Marathon Championships without a watch.”(威尔士选手史蒂夫·琼斯在1984年芝加哥马拉松比赛上创造了一项世界纪录,他并没有戴运动手表。最近,奥运会马拉松运动员特雷弗·霍夫鲍尔在没有使用运动手表的情况下赢得了2019年加拿大马拉松锦标赛,登上头条新闻。)可知,该段主要通过举例子(史蒂夫·琼斯和特雷弗·霍夫鲍尔)说明一些职业选手即使不戴运动手表,也能在跑步中取得佳绩,从而证明跑步时不戴运动手表也颇有益处。故选A项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,第一段引出话题,通过作者自身的例子说明跑步时不戴运动手表的好处;第二至第四段通过约恩·惠兰的研究说明运动手表会带来一些不良后果;第五段通过举出两名运动员的例子来说明跑步时不戴运动手表的优点;最后一段引用运动员特雷弗·霍夫鲍尔的话结尾。由此可知本文主要论述不戴运动手表跑步是有益的。故选A项。
第二节 语句排序(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
11. 将下列几个部分(A, B, C, D和E)按题号排序,构成一个符合逻辑的完整语篇。
A. When the cultural distances are wide, some people feel anxious. They remain so homesick and feel so sad about being separated from their friends back home that they long to return, especially within the first year.
B. You may do some research on the cultural aspects of the new country such as the history, customs, and religious beliefs, rather than on what to see and where to go, so you may get prepared for a culture that is different from yours.
C. Besides, having trouble with the native language often makes them unwilling to communicate with other people. Actually, staying in a foreign country helps you to know more of the new culture.
D. Studying the language is also a great way to help bridge the gap between the cultures. The more of it is understood, the more of the new culture can be understood.
E. When you go to a foreign country, you often enter a new culture. The differences between cultures may make you feel stressed and you often find it difficult to adapt to the new surroundings, which is usually called “culture shock”.
【答案】EACBD
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了去其他国家会受到文化冲击,造成文化冲击的原因以及应对的方法。
【详解】推理判断题。E项“When you go to a foreign country, you often enter a new culture. The differences between cultures may make you feel stressed and you often find it difficult to adapt to the new surroundings, which is usually called “culture shock”. (当你去国外的时候,你通常会进入一种新的文化。文化之间的差异可能会让你感到压力,你经常发现很难适应新的环境,这通常被称为“文化冲击”。)”交代了文章的主题,文化冲击,所以E选项作为文章的开头,应排第一。
细节理解题。A项“When the cultural distances are wide, some people feel anxious. They remain so homesick and feel so sad about being separated from their friends back home that they long to return, especially within the first year. (当文化距离较远时,有些人会感到焦虑。他们仍然非常想家,与家乡的朋友分开感到非常难过,他们渴望回家,尤其是在第一年。)”可知,此处顺承上文,应该写为什么会出现文化冲击,所以A选项排第二。
细节理解题。C项“Besides, having trouble with the native language often makes them unwilling to communicate with other people. Actually, staying in a foreign country helps you to know more of the new culture. (此外,母语不通往往使他们不愿与其他人交流。事实上,呆在国外可以帮助你更多地了解新的文化。)”顺承上文,继续写文化冲击的原因,语言交流障碍,C选项应排第三。
细节理解题。B项“You may do some research on the cultural aspects of the new country such as the history, customs, and religious beliefs, rather than on what to see and where to go, so you may get prepared for a culture that is different from yours. (你可以对新国家的文化方面做一些研究,比如历史、习俗和宗教信仰,而不是去看什么、去哪里,这样你就可以为不同于你的文化做好准备。)”顺承上文,可知为了避免文化冲击,提出一些方法,应写为新文化做的一些准备,故B选项应排第四。
推理判断题。D项“Studying the language is also a great way to help bridge the gap between the cultures. The more of it is understood, the more of the new culture can be understood. (学习语言也是一个很好的方式来帮助弥合文化之间的差距。对它了解得越多,对新文化的了解也就越多。)”可知,此处又给出一个应对文化冲击的好办法,本句中的also顺应上文,所以D选项应排第五。

But there are a few things you can do, like using a dictionary and looking up the difficult words.(如果情节人物或词汇用法让你感到困惑,你很可能记不住读过的内容。这有点像读一门外语。如果你不理解你所读的东西,你怎么能记住它呢?但是有一些事情你可以做,比如使用字典和查找难的单词。)”可知,主要讲的是让你感到困惑的内容,以及如何克服这些问题。选项A项“Are you confused?(你困惑吗?)”可知,和该段主旨意思一致,能够概括该段主旨。故选A项。

【16题详解】
上文“If you read frequently. you’ll likely have an-easier time with remembering what you’ re reading and what you’ve read.( 如果你经常阅读。你可能会更容易记住你正在读的和读过的内容。)”提到经常阅读的好处。选项B项“Practice makes perfect.(熟能生巧。)”可知,和上文内容意思一致,为总结上文内容,上下文语意连贯,符合语境。故选B项。

I have dreamt of taking a trip to Hawaii since I graduated but the best thing always needs waiting. I took a trip with my friends to Haleakala National Park which lies in Hawaii.
When we arrived at Haleakala National Park, we were advised to watch the early morning sunrise. I was lost in the sightseeing that afternoon so I could hardly wait to meet the sunrise. In the next morning we all jumped out of the bed very early at 3 o’clock and walked to the rocks by the seaside. In the first half an hour we imagined how wonderful it would be when the first light came out through the thick clouds and how soft it would be when the light touched our skin so we waited and waited. However, another half an hour later I gradually lost my patience since there was nothing but the cold darkness and I felt that I was frozen to death. But my friends were still extremely cheerful.
Nearly another one hour later, “Fantastic!” a word burst out from Judy and we all shouted to welcome the light orange greatness which is really unbelievable. Until today I dare say that it is the most impressive sunrise in my life. However, waiting in the morning darkness is also the one I cannot wipe out forever.
Waiting sometimes is really a hard thing for most of us as it needs patience and strong-willed determination but what about the result after that? It might turn out to be pleasingly unbelievable and satisfied. So, it is really worthwhile to wait for the best.
4. When did they see the first light of the sunrise?
A. About 3 o’clock. B. About 4 o’clock.
C. Nearly 6 o’clock. D. Nearly 5 o’clock.
5. What’s the author’s attitude towards waiting for the sunrise?
A. Cheerful all the time. B. Regretful all the time.
C. Firstly excited then impatient. D. Firstly interested then sad.
6. What does the author want to tell us by writing this passage?
A. Hawaii is a good place to enjoy the sunrise. B. Sometimes it is worthwhile to wait for the best.
C. I enjoyed the most flaming sunrise in my life. D. My friends and I took a trip to Hawaii.

When I first began running in high school on the track team, it made sense to carefully clock every mile and push myself to race for personal bests. But as I changed from running for sport to running for amusement as an adult, I found that tracking my workouts often just ended with frustration. And it wasn’t until my watch battery died several years ago that I first experienced the sense of calm that came with running for the pure joy of it. I never replaced the watch battery, and that might not be a bad thing for my fitness goals.
This is the idea of unplugged (不插电的) running, which is gaining steam in the fitness community. And recent research has shown that getting rid of your running watch, especially if it’s a smartwatch or fitness tracker, could actually improve your workout — or at least your enjoyment of running.
“People used to have an interest in their sport and get enjoyment out of the sport, but now that’s switching to the data,” said Eoin Whelan, a senior lecturer at the National University of Ireland Galway. “They will compare themselves to people who are better than them, who are running faster or running longer. And in the end we know that makes them feel bad. ”
Whelan also noted that people who are very dependent on smart watches or fitness trackers are more likely to skip their workouts if the batteries on their tracking devices are dead.
Instead, running watch-free is beneficial. Some professionals also have had success with leaving their watches at home. Welsh runner Steve Jones famously set a world record at the 1984 Chicago Marathon without wearing a watch. More recently, Olympic marathoner Trevor Hofbauer made headlines for winning the 2019 Canadian Marathon Championships without a watch.
“If you have too much information being fed to you in real time, it can kind of get in your head,” Hofbauer said. “For me, the simpler, the better.”

A. They can enrich the wearers’ social life.
B. They can lead to harmful consequences.

9. How is paragraph 5 developed?
