(2023·贵州安顺高二上期末)
Shakespeare once wrote that all the world is a stage,but these days it's more like a movie set.Getting to know some films to find fantastic film locations,you should check out on your travels.
The Sound of Music
Austria's hills are certainly alive with the sound of music and tourists. Mozart may have been born in Salzburg,but The Sound of Music really put it on the map and now about 70 percent of people visit it because of the movie. Cross Residenzplatz Square and visit the Palace of Leopoldskron where the children in the film fell into the lake.
Troy
Although the Troy was filmed on sets built at Shepperton Studios in the UK,most of the 2004 movie was shot in Malta and Baja California,Mexico.Malta with historic sites and beautiful blue waters was a good choice to replace Greece.Troy was shot at a host of locations,including Golden Bay,Hal Far as well as Fort Ricasoli (where the city of Troy was constructed).The Trojan horse from the film is now lying on the waterfront in Canakkale,Turkey.
Bridget Jones's Diary
Bridget Jones is brought to life as we watch the work and romance in London.Her special corner flat is above the Globe Tavern by Borough Market,one of the city's oldest and biggest food markets.According to The Telegraph,it would be highly unlikely that she could afford to buy a place like that today since it has risen in value by more than 240 percent.
Harry Potter
J.K.Rowling started writing the Harry Potter books while she was living in Edinburgh,Scotland,so it's no surprise that she set most of the story there. The Hogwarts Express travels through the Scottish Highlands and along the 31 meters high Glenfinnan Viaduct.The second highest waterfall in the UK,Steal Falls can be seen during Quidditch matches.

(2023·江西九江高二期末)
Madagascar,the world's second largest island country located off Africa's eastern coast,is an island of diverse ecosystems and a biodiversity hot spot.The country has unique wildlife,with 90%of its plants and animals found nowhere else.Madagascar's wildlife creates some of the country's most beautiful scenery and popular spots.One of its conspicuous landscapes,attracting tourists from almost all corners of the Earth,is the Avenue of the Baobabs in the Menabe region.This avenue is made up of numerous baobab trees along the dirt road linking Belon'i Tsiribihina and Morondava,creating a unique and beautiful setting.
Baobab trees are common throughout Madagascar.Of the Earth's eight species,six are native to the country.Some of the baobabs in the country are about 2,800 years old,with trunks rising to 150 feet.The Avenue of the Baobabs is a row of about 25 baobabs stretching about 260 metres.Other baobab trees are also found in the nearby pastures (牧草地).This road is one of Madagascar's most visited places.It is also the most accessible place to see some of Africa's oldest baobabs.These trees were once part of a forest that was made up of other plants.However,massive deforestation cleared the area of most trees,leaving the baobabs growing in isolation.
The baobab trees along the road and the other species growing in the nearby areas are always under constant threat from the increasing population.The trees also face threats from polluted water from the nearby fields,forest fires,and bush fires.Despite being a popular tourist attraction,the Avenue of the Baobabs has no admission fee or visitor centre and generates little income for local communities.
Thankfully,non-governmental organisations in partnership with the government have noticed the area and developed activities to protect the avenue. The Ministry of Environment,Water,and Forests declared it a temporary protected area in July 2007.In July 2015,the site was declared a national monument,the first in Madagascar.The government and local communities hope the trees can survive for additional 800 years.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。马达加斯加是世界第二大岛国,这里的猴面包树大道是最引人注目的景观之一,吸引着来自世界各地的游客。但猴面包树也面临着风险,人们为保护猴面包树采取了一系列措施。
词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“creates some of the country's most beautiful scenery and popular spots”及下文的“attracting tourists from almost all corners of the Earth”可知,马达加斯加的野生动植物创造了一些该国最美丽的风景和热门景点,猴面包树大道吸引着来自世界各地的游客,说明这里的景色很吸引人。由此推知,画线单词conspicuous意为“引人注目的”,与striking意思相近。故选C项。
4.What does the underlined word “conspicuous” in the first paragraph mean?
A.New. B.Cultural.
C.Striking. D.Changing.
√
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It is also the most accessible place to see some of Africa's oldest baobabs.”可知,猴面包树大道有非洲最古老的猴面包树。故选D项。
5.What do we know about the Avenue of the Baobabs?
A.It is a big forest.
B.It has eight baobab species.
C.It consists of many different plants.
D.It has Africa's oldest baobabs.
√
段落大意题。根据第三段中的“The baobab trees along the road...forest fires,and bush fires.”可知,猴面包树一直受到不断增长的人口的威胁,还面临来自附近田地的污水、森林大火等威胁。由此可知,第三段主要介绍了当地猴面包树面临的风险。故选A项。
6.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.The risk to local baobab trees.
B.Natural disasters in Madagascar.
C.Poor living conditions in Madagascar.
D.The quality customer service of the avenue.
√
推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,猴面包树受到了保护,政府和当地社区希望这些树可以再存活800年。由此可推知,人们对猴面包树的未来充满希望。故选C项。
7.What kind of feeling is expressed in the last paragraph?
A.Curiosity. B.Caution.
C.Hopefulness. D.Sympathy.
√

I'm a hiker — “born to hike”.It does my heart and soul good to take a pack and head out on a trail (小路),especially when I'm alone and can let my mind wander where it will. 1 .
Hiking keeps your brain sharper than many other forms of exercise.As a professional writer,although I am busy with my work,I often spare some time to hike. 2 .
3 .Exercise in general can be a good way to decrease stress.But what sets hiking apart from other forms of exercise is that hiking can happen almost anywhere and give you the happiness that you can take from nature.
Hiking can increase our creativity.I'm sure I'm not alone in finding that walks in nature let my mind wander freely in creative directions. 4 . Sometimes,ideas relevant to music come up from unconscious places when I'm not deliberately thinking.
Hiking helps strengthen a positive relationship with the natural world.Besides being good for us,hiking may also help the world around us.After all,if we stick to walking and covering longer distances,we could use cars less and reduce our carbon footprint. 5 .For example,it increases our connection to nature.As one study suggests,when we have a personal connection to nature,we are more likely to want to protect it.That means experiences in nature — like hiking — can be mutually (相互地) beneficial,helping people and the earth.
So,grab a water bottle,a backpack...and head out on the trail.You won't be sorry you did.
A.Hiking helps to keep you calm and happy
B.Beyond that,hiking benefits our planet indirectly
