题型：高中阅读理解 来源：外刊读物 Passage1： These all-American beauties make for days of driving bliss. Blues Highway Take in great blues icons along this 1,330-km section of Highway 51 from Nashville, Tennessee to New Orleans, Louisiana. Immerse yourself in the Deep South's layered history. Visit the birthplaces of celebrated artists, iconic recording venues, blues landmarks and discover comforting Southern food at every stop. The small town of Clarksdale, Mississippi bears claim to the blues' birthplace. You can also find Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel in Memphis, too. There's Graceland, of course, and Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel. If ever there were a road trip that deserves its own playlist, this is it. Pacific Coast Highway Stretching from San Francisco to the border city of San Diego, this epic West Coast route hugs the rugged California coastline. While the views are consistently stunning, the steep ascents and windy turns really are the star. Get ready for beautiful beaches, towering mountains, giant Redwood forests, endless blue sky and even the chance to spot elephant seals. Stop in resort areas like Santa Cruz and Monterey, mountain towns like Big Sur and gaze in awe at the mansions along the Malibu coastline. California dreaming, indeed. Hāna Highway With 620 curves, 59 bridges, sheer cliffs with steep drops and hairpin turns, this is not one for those prone to car sickness. But the scenery along Maui's rugged eastern coastline is as incredible as it is stomach-churning. The narrow, winding Hāna Highway is only an 84km stretch from Kahului to the peaceful village of Hāna, but its journey is packed with waterfalls, bamboo forests, black sand beaches, lush rainforests, roadside fruit stands and local coffee. The journey takes around three hours but best to make a day of it. Utah Mighty 5 Southern Utah's natural wonders deserve days of exploration. A week or more is ideal, but seven to ten days is fine. This reaches all of the state's Mighty Five national parks, from red rock country in Canyonlands – try to catch sunrise peeking through Mesa Arch – to Capitol Reef's sandstone formations and indigenous rock art petroglyphs. Marvel at Arches' 2,000-plus natural stone arches, some dating back 300 million years. Hike Angels Landing in Zion and take in the red rock hoodoos and pink cliffs of Bryce Canyon, the highest elevation park of the five. Route 66 This historic road trip starts in downtown Chicago, Illinois and ends at Santa Monica, California. Approximately 3,665km long, the 'Mother Road' is best completed in about three weeks from the Midwest to the West Coast. Along the way you'll see dusty Panhandle flatlands, Oklahoma's quirky roadside attractions, Texas' expansive plains and Arizona's incredible red mesas, before entering the Golden State. Hit the open road and soak up the roadside culture and nostalgia to be found along this enduring symbol of Americana. 1. 细节理解题（直接信息题））：How long is the Hāna Highway? A. 84km. B. 1,330km. C. 3,665km.

With the help of the Italian Alpine Club and the Ministry of the Environment, it will soon be possible to hike through all of these parks along one continuous hiking trail. The route will use much of the existing Sentiero Italia trail, which covers some 7,000 km across 18 parks, with a few key deviations to allow for one long uninterrupted path. Brazil's Highest Peak Reopens to Tourists Pico da Neblina, simply translated to "misty peak" in Portuguese, sits at a staggering height of 2,995 metres in the heart of the Amazon Rainforest. Little known to those outside of the most dedicated of mountaineers, it is one of the world's most challenging summits to surmount. The mountain sits within the territory of the Yanomami indigenous people, who saw Pico da Neblina and its surroundings as one sacred living entity. In 2003 the federally protected area was banned to tourists due to violence and disregard for Yanomami culture. Now tourism is back, and this time the expeditions are wholly owned and managed by the Yanomami people. Return of the Orient Express This renowned luxury train, first setting off in October of 1883, has recently unveiled its brand new opulent interior. Still known to this day for its glamour and style, inspiring literary classics such as Murder on the Orient Express, the train ran from Paris to Istanbul until 1977. The historic carriages were rediscovered in a YouTube video from 2015, and all 13 carriages have since been acquired by French hospitality group Accor Hotels, who hope to get back up and running by 2025. Venice Carnival For 12 magnificent days in February, Venice hosts one of the oldest annual celebrations in the world. Expect elaborate masks, music, dancing and other events, as thousands gather to flaunt their extravagant outfits. Originating back to the 11th century, Carnival encourages people from all walks of life to take part in the revelry. The most competitive of the events is the most beautiful mask (la maschera più bella) competition, where festival-goers can submit their masks to visit the Grand Theatre in St Marks Square to earn the coveted prize. A Breakthrough in the Hunt for Cleopatra's Tomb We all know about Cleopatra: the last ruler of Egypt, lover of Julius Caesar and husband to the Roman general Mark Antony. She played a crucial role in Roman politics during the final years of the Republic, ultimately leading to her downfall at the hands of Octavian. Cleopatra and Mark Antony famously committed suicide. From Shakespeare plays to Hollywood films, her story has been captivating people for centuries. To this day her tomb has never been found. Finally, we have the first promising signs of its discovery. Thirteen metres below the temple of Taposiris Magna, located in the Western part of Alexandria, an advanced tunnel complex has been discovered containing roughly 1,500 artefacts. Archaeologists remain hopeful the tunnel will lead to the tomb's discovery. 1. 细节理解题（直接信息题）：When is the Venice Carnival held? A. In October. B. In February. C. In July. D.

From 2500 BC, the region of Nubia stretched along the Nile from the southern Egyptian city, right down to what is now northern Sudan. Over the centuries, Nubia was led by multiple groups, the most significant being the Kingdom of Kush. Throughout history, they were treated as both comrades and adversaries of the Egyptians, depending on who was in power. Somehow, despite lacking the Egyptians' advanced technology, written language system, operational capital or any formal bureaucracy—they managed to establish their own dynasty within Egypt. Although the Kingdom of Kush ended around 350 AD, Nubian culture had a lasting influence. Many of the temples and monuments erected during Nubia's dominant years were influenced by typical Egyptian architecture, due to the historical integration between the two cultures. The construction of the High Dam in the 1960s led to the flooding of Nubian settlements across Aswan and destroyed many of these sacred structures. While the people were relocated, many of the monuments have been lost forever. Since antiquity, various groups around the Mediterranean including the Nubian's, have relied heavily on modest boats (known as feluccas) for work and transport. Traditionally made from local wood with cotton sails. Over the years, their composition has evolved to incorporate other materials, however, their layouts are still highly reflective of the original design. Feluccas were originally propelled by large mattresses. Classic felucca boats were solely reliant on wind and utilised the technique of 'tacking' to travel along the Nile, zig-zagging up the river at whatever pace the breeze enabled. Modern iterations tend to have motors for added convenience, however, locals and tourists agree that watching the wind catch in the sail of a traditional felucca is wonderful and so quintessentially African. Today, most feluccas are used for leisure, to give tourists a taste of traditional Nile life. Often crewed by local Nubians, felucca rides offer an opportunity to learn more about the culture of the region and its people. From the cushioned deck, you can watch the pastel buildings and towering palms of Aswan drift by, a welcome respite from the typically fast-paced Egyptian lifestyle. To truly immerse yourself in the experience, consider spending a night on board while you can dine with a local family and explore their customs. 1. 细节理解题（直接信息题）：When did the Kingdom of Kush end? A.

They were first made from modern materials. C. They were traditionally propelled by large mattresses. D. They have never had motors. 3. 主旨归纳题（判断最佳标题）：What could be the best title for this passage? A.

C 3. 解析：文章主要围绕在尼罗河上乘坐三角帆船展开，介绍了其历史、传统以及现代用途等，C 选项 “三角帆船航行：尼罗河体验” 能很好地概括文章主旨。A 选项只是背景；B 选项只是其中一个事件；D 选项只是部分内容。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$题型：高中阅读理解 来源：外刊读物 Passage1： These all-American beauties make for days of driving bliss.
