Unit 4 History and Traditions 单元话题阅读理解练习 基础语篇巩固练 （24-25高一上·广东·期末）Timeless and meaningful friendships are central to the human experience, and we have been honoring these special relationships for thousands of years. One of the ways people have marked these bonds is by exchanging gifts. Here are the stories of the symbols and traditions that have honored friendships throughout history and around the world. In the 16th century, Dutch theologian Erasmus offered his friends paintings, books, and ancient coins, which became a kind of currency of friendship among early modern humanists. By the 18th and 19th centuries in Ireland, the Claddagh ring had gained attention as a symbol of both love and friendship: the heart on the ring represents (代表) love, while the clasped hands represent friendship. By the 18th century, friends were exchanging locks of hair, which degrades very slowly. Like friendship, so the belief went, hair seemed to be everlasting. George Washington even gifted his hair to some of his close friends, including fellow founding father Alexander Hamilton. Throughout the 19th century, friends exchanged friendship brooches (胸针). They sometimes featured ivy flowers, which Victorians associated with loyalty, and the phrase, “Nothing can separate me from you.” As one advertisement for friendship brooches said in 1913, the brooch’s circular shape was, “like friendship, endless”. By the end of the 20th century, a new friendship symbol and gift-giving practice took hold: friendship bracelets, which tend to be brightly colored and woven. No one knows exactly where friendship bracelets came from or how the tradition started, but they may have their roots in woven bracelets from Central America. All these show an idea that’s been around forever: It’s great to find someone who understands you in this big world, and it’s something worth celebrating. 1．What did Erasmus offer his friends in the 16th century?

He joined the cultural relics census (普查) team in Huanghua, Hebei, becoming its youngest member. This census is part of the fourth national cultural relics census, which started in November 2023 and is set to end by June 2026. Its goal is to record and get a deep understanding of the conditions of immovable cultural heritage sites, including ancient sites and tombs across the country. Li’s love for cultural relics began at an early age. Since childhood, he has enjoyed collecting things and now has over 100 cultural artifacts (手工艺品). Li also has repaired many artifacts, improving this skill by learning from all kinds of sources. Despite his strong connection to ancient artifacts, this was his first time taking part in a cultural relics census. “I thought at first that the census was just about visiting sites and doing a simple investigation,” Li told Teens. However, the census work turned out to be quite opposite. In the investigation of cultural relics, measuring areas is a major task. To provide a better description of the ancient village site in Changguo Town in Huanghua, the team had to walk a long way to work out the site’s boundaries (界限). In the hot summer sun, Li made his way through overgrown corn fields to identify the boundaries in all directions, often walking up to 30,000 steps per day. During these walks, he also needed to do some digging. “After digging, we examined the soil to find any signs of cultural relics,” Li said. “This step is key to making sure we get the boundaries right and don’t miss any relics.” Then, the team used special tools to work out the site’s total area. “It is hard work, but being able to describe each site so that each site receives the most protection makes us very happy,” Li said. 1．What is the purpose of the national cultural relics census? A．To establish a national registry of cultural relics. B．To promote tourism in historical sites nationwide. C．To train young students in archaeological techniques. D．To identify the most valuable historical sites nationwide. 2．Which of the following words can best describe the census work? A．Simple. B．Fruitless. C．Demanding. D．Unnecessary. 3．What is Li Donglin like? A．Lazy and indecisive. B．Impatient and picky. C．Humorous and adventurous. D．Determined and knowledgeable. 4．What is the best title of the text? A．18-Year-Old Teenager Leads Cultural Relics Survey B．High Schooler Joins National Cultural Relics Census C．Teenager’s Summer Adventure in Architecture Design D．Young Collector’s Journey of Hometown Promotion （24-25高一上·浙江宁波·期末）As a primary school kid, Armand almost grew up at the campsite with his family. Every holiday, they’d spend a month and a half camping at Leentjiesklip in Langebaan. This is where Armand developed his love for camping. With this camping seed planted so early, he was always curious to explore other places. Three years after graduating from school, Armand bought his first bakkie (箱式轻便货车), a Toyota Cab. Besides camping, Armand also enjoys driving through scenic landscapes. He does this regularly to satisfy his desire to be in nature. His love of nature means he avoids busy places and settles down in quieter places. However, he doesn’t mind if he comes across someone out in the middle of nowhere; they’re likely to share the same interests. Verneukpan, now one of Armand’s favourite camping sites, was next on the schedule — a route that would finally take him past Augrabies, Vioolsdrif, the Richtersveld and Port Nolloth. Armand’s journeys aren’t carefully planned. He simply sets daily goals and refuses the usual routes. “Nothing stops you from hitting the road nice and early. Explore the world and enrich your journey instead of following a preplanned route.” Although Armand mostly camps alone, he’s not completely alone. His sheepdog, Buks, goes along. Buks, Armand’s campsite commander, has a specially-fitted seat on the back seat of the bakkie. When Armand arrives at his destination for the day, he grabs a beer and takes a walk with Buks to explore the surroundings. The camping chairs follow, and then Armand takes in the scenery. “Camping in nature is the perfect escape because it provides peace while refreshing your soul,” says Armand. 1．What made Armand fall in love with camping? A．His wonderful primary school time. B．The seed he planted at the campsite as a kid. C．His curiosity to explore other amazing places. D．The great camping experiences with his family. 2．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Going camping. B．Buying the bakkie. C．Graduating from school. D．Driving through scenic landscapes. 3．Which of the following can best describe Armand? A．Quiet and organized. B．Peaceful and careful. C．Curious and courageous. D．Helpful and interesting. 4．What might be the best title for the passage? A．Armand’s New Life B．Armand’s Love for Camping C．Armand’s Adventures D．Armand’s Camping with Family （24-25高一上·江西南昌·期末）Tourism is back, at last. This year the number of trips abroad is expected to overtake levels reached in 2019. The World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) predicts that this year will see more overseas trips and higher traveler spending than in 2019. The return of mass tourism has caused strikes in Western hotspots such as Barcelona and Majorca. Talk to a hotel manager or a travel agent, though, and the real action is further east. Travel to Asia had been slower to recover from the covid-19 pandemic than in the West, due to extended quarantine (隔离) rules from China to Malaysia, keeping the number of tourists down. Now, however, business on the continent is reviving. The number of travellers arriving in Asian countries is set to jump by a third this year, according to the WTTC, more than in any other region. Westerners are turning up in large groups. The number of trips Americans took to Asia doubled last year. The value of dollar, which has increased strongly against Asian currencies (货币), is part of the explanation. Catherine Heald, the boss of Remote Lands, a travel agency for the rich, notes bookings for diving in Indonesia, temple visits in Japan, and food tours in Thailand. The range of destinations and activities is widening. Wealthy tourists can travel aboard the recently redeveloped Eastern & Oriental Express through Singapore and Malaysia, run by Belmond, the hotels business of LVMH, a French luxury giant. Over 500,000 hotel rooms were under construction across Asia as of June, up by over 4% from last year. Getting to Asia is also becoming easier, with home-grown and Western airlines increasing the number of flights to and from the continent. British Airways, for instance, is relaunching flights to Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur. The biggest boost to Asian tourism, though, is coming from the region’s own travellers. Chinese consumers have begun to holiday abroad again, with international trips predicted to double this year compared with 2023, according to Oxford Economics, a research firm. Even then, the number of trips will be below pre-pandemic levels, leaving plenty of room for growth. 1．Why does the author mention strikes in Western hotspots? A．To introduce tourism recovery in Asia. B．To explain the challenge in Western. C．To compare different tourism cultures. D．To show tourism's massive impact. 2．What can we infer from the passage? A．Dollar value alone doubled trips to Asia. B．Travel will fully return to pre-pandemic levels. C．Asia took quarantine measures earlier than the west. D．Asia is making efforts to accommodate more visitors. 3．What does “boost” underlined in the last paragraph refer to? A．Influence. B．Assistance. C．Increase. D．Value. 4．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．Asian Tourism: A Slow Recovery B．The Tourism Rise Returns to Asia C．Tourism Trends in the Post-Pandemic Era D．Western Tourism: Opportunities and Challenges （24-25高一上·广东·阶段练习）Explore the Beauty of Guilin Are you looking for a perfect getaway to relax and enjoy nature?

First of all, always check and double-check departure (出发) time. It is surprising how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50, but the person at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting. The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have some local money in cash (现金). Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead. “Listen! I only take real money!” the driver said angrily. You can imagine how terrible I felt at that moment. The third and the last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who traveled in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day. 1．Where is the author most probably from? A．Britain. B．The USA． C．Italy. D．Greece. 2．What did the author do when he found he had no dollars to pay the taxi driver? A．He tried to pay by credit card. B．He offered to pay in pounds. C．He waited for the bank to open with the driver. D．He asked the driver to give him a free ride. 3．What’s the weather in London generally like in May? A．Warm and dry. B．Cold and dry. C．Hot and wet. D．Cool and rainy. 4．What’s the text mainly about? A．How to make life easier. B．How to ensure safety during your trip. C．How to be well prepared for a trip. D．How to enjoy ourselves on a trip. 重难语篇拔高练 （24-25高一上·重庆·期末）Cathy Brennan calmly paddled her bright yellow kayak (皮艇) down the Potomac River,continuing her voyage, the latest of her solo trips on major waterways. It was tough, but it allowed Brennan to let go of everything else, empty her brain of the everyday chores and focus on the present. “I’m in the moment, looking at the waves,” said Brennan.The journey is a minimalist style: a sleeping bag,a small tent, a rain jacket, a change of clothes, a first aid hit, apples and cheese sticks. “I always drink the river,” she says. Brennan loves being on the rivers, seeing the eagles above, deer on the banks and a fascinating bunch of bugs and insects that never find their way into homes. However, every few days Brennan will find a hotel for the night where she can get a shower and at a chceseburger. She’ll also check in with her husband John, who has helped her select the river and research the trips at their home. “He’s my virtual Sherpa with benefits,”Brennan says, laughing. She has a phone with her but seldom calls or texts anyone. Her children usually keep track of her via the transponder (应答器) that sends them her location every 10 minutes or so. Brennan knows that solo kayaking is not for everyone and she’s not reckless. When going through rapids (急流), she watches the weather in advance. She is careful about where she camps and who is around her. She has packed up her equipment and headed back out on the river when she has felt unsafe. She is alone on these journeys but she isn’t lonely. She suggested that we all need some disconnection from the wired world to find the wider world around us. 1．What can be inferred from Paragraph 1?

Like friendship, so the belief went, hair seemed to be everlasting.

Here are the stories of the symbols and traditions that have honored friendships throughout history and around the world.(人们庆祝这些关系的方式之一是交换礼物。以下是历史上和世界各地尊重友谊的象征和传统的故事。)”可知，文章主要讲述了几个世纪以来，不同的物品和传统在不同时期成为了友谊的象征，如16世纪伊拉斯谟送的绘画、书籍和古币，18、19世纪爱尔兰的克拉达戒指，18世纪交换的一缕头发，19世纪的友谊胸针，20 世纪末的友谊手链等，所以文章主要不同历史时期象征友谊的物品和庆祝方式。由此可推知，C 选项“The history of friendship symbols(友谊象征物的历史)”最适合作文章标题。故选C项。 （24-25高一上·山西·期末）CHEAP EATS GUIDE TO BARCELONA Nostrum Nostrum is a chain (连锁店) of takeaway food.

He joined the cultural relics census (普查) team in Huanghua, Hebei, becoming its youngest member. This census is part of the fourth national cultural relics census, which started in November 2023 and is set to end by June 2026. Its goal is to record and get a deep understanding of the conditions of immovable cultural heritage sites, including ancient sites and tombs across the country. Li’s love for cultural relics began at an early age. Since childhood, he has enjoyed collecting things and now has over 100 cultural artifacts (手工艺品). Li also has repaired many artifacts, improving this skill by learning from all kinds of sources. Despite his strong connection to ancient artifacts, this was his first time taking part in a cultural relics census. “I thought at first that the census was just about visiting sites and doing a simple investigation,” Li told Teens. However, the census work turned out to be quite opposite. In the investigation of cultural relics, measuring areas is a major task. To provide a better description of the ancient village site in Changguo Town in Huanghua, the team had to walk a long way to work out the site’s boundaries (界限). In the hot summer sun, Li made his way through overgrown corn fields to identify the boundaries in all directions, often walking up to 30,000 steps per day. During these walks, he also needed to do some digging. “After digging, we examined the soil to find any signs of cultural relics,” Li said. “This step is key to making sure we get the boundaries right and don’t miss any relics.” Then, the team used special tools to work out the site’s total area. “It is hard work, but being able to describe each site so that each site receives the most protection makes us very happy,” Li said. 1．What is the purpose of the national cultural relics census? A．To establish a national registry of cultural relics. B．To promote tourism in historical sites nationwide. C．To train young students in archaeological techniques. D．To identify the most valuable historical sites nationwide. 2．Which of the following words can best describe the census work? A．Simple. B．Fruitless. C．Demanding. D．Unnecessary. 3．What is Li Donglin like? A．Lazy and indecisive. B．Impatient and picky. C．Humorous and adventurous. D．Determined and knowledgeable. 4．What is the best title of the text? A．18-Year-Old Teenager Leads Cultural Relics Survey B．High Schooler Joins National Cultural Relics Census C．Teenager’s Summer Adventure in Architecture Design D．Young Collector’s Journey of Hometown Promotion 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了18岁的高中生李东林加入河北省黄骅市文物普查队的经历。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“IIts goal is to record and get a deep understanding of the conditions of immovable cultural heritage sites, including ancient sites and tombs across the country.(它的目标是记录和深入了解全国各地的古代遗址和坟墓等不可移动文化遗产遗址的状况)”可知，全国文物普查的目的是记录和深入了解不可移动文化遗产遗址的状况，即建立一个全国文物的登记册。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段“In the investigation of cultural relics, measuring areas is a major task. To provide a better description of the ancient village site in Changguo Town in Huanghua, the team had to walk a long way to work out the site’s boundaries (界限). In the hot summer sun, Li made his way through overgrown corn fields to identify the boundaries in all directions, often walking up to 30,000 steps per day.(在文物调查中，面积测量是一项重要任务。为了更好地描述黄骅市常郭镇的古村落遗址，研究小组不得不走很长一段路来确定遗址的边界。在炎热的夏日阳光下，李穿过杂草丛生的玉米地，从各个方向识别边界，经常每天走3万步)”可推知，文物普查工作要求高。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第二段“Li’s love for cultural relics began at an early age. Since childhood, he has enjoyed collecting things and now has over 100 cultural artifacts (手工艺品). Li also has repaired many artifacts, improving this skill by learning from all kinds of sources.(李对文物的热爱从很小的时候就开始了。从小，他就喜欢收集东西，现在他有100多件文物。李还修复了许多文物，并通过各种渠道学习提高了这项技能)”和第三段中“Despite his strong connection to ancient artifacts, this was his first time taking part in a cultural relics census.(尽管他与古代文物有着密切的联系，但这是他第一次参加文物普查)”可知，李东林是一个有学识的人；面对艰苦的条件，李东林依然出色完成了任务。由此推知，李东林是一个有决心的人。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段“For Li Donglin, an 18-year-old senior high school student, this past summer was all about cultural relic sites. He joined the cultural relics census (普查) team in Huanghua, Hebei, becoming its youngest member.(对于18岁的高中生李东林来说，刚刚过去的这个夏天全是关于文物遗址的。他加入了河北省黄骅市文物普查小组，成为最年轻的成员)”可知，文章主要讲述了一个高中生加入全国文物普查队的故事。由此推知，“High Schooler Joins National Cultural Relics Census(高中生参加全国文物普查)”适合作本文最佳标题。故选B。 （24-25高一上·浙江宁波·期末）As a primary school kid, Armand almost grew up at the campsite with his family. Every holiday, they’d spend a month and a half camping at Leentjiesklip in Langebaan. This is where Armand developed his love for camping. With this camping seed planted so early, he was always curious to explore other places. Three years after graduating from school, Armand bought his first bakkie (箱式轻便货车), a Toyota Cab. Besides camping, Armand also enjoys driving through scenic landscapes. He does this regularly to satisfy his desire to be in nature. His love of nature means he avoids busy places and settles down in quieter places. However, he doesn’t mind if he comes across someone out in the middle of nowhere; they’re likely to share the same interests. Verneukpan, now one of Armand’s favourite camping sites, was next on the schedule — a route that would finally take him past Augrabies, Vioolsdrif, the Richtersveld and Port Nolloth. Armand’s journeys aren’t carefully planned. He simply sets daily goals and refuses the usual routes. “Nothing stops you from hitting the road nice and early. Explore the world and enrich your journey instead of following a preplanned route.” Although Armand mostly camps alone, he’s not completely alone. His sheepdog, Buks, goes along. Buks, Armand’s campsite commander, has a specially-fitted seat on the back seat of the bakkie. When Armand arrives at his destination for the day, he grabs a beer and takes a walk with Buks to explore the surroundings. The camping chairs follow, and then Armand takes in the scenery. “Camping in nature is the perfect escape because it provides peace while refreshing your soul,” says Armand. 1．What made Armand fall in love with camping? A．His wonderful primary school time. B．The seed he planted at the campsite as a kid. C．His curiosity to explore other amazing places. D．The great camping experiences with his family. 2．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Going camping. B．Buying the bakkie. C．Graduating from school. D．Driving through scenic landscapes. 3．Which of the following can best describe Armand? A．Quiet and organized. B．Peaceful and careful. C．Curious and courageous. D．Helpful and interesting. 4．What might be the best title for the passage? A．Armand’s New Life B．Armand’s Love for Camping C．Armand’s Adventures D．Armand’s Camping with Family 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Armand对露营的热爱及其露营经历。 1．细节理解题。由文章第一段中“Every holiday, they’d spend a month and a half camping at Leentjiesklip in Langebaan. This is where Armand developed his love for camping. (每个假期，他们都会在Langebaan的Leentjiesklip露营一个半月。正是在这里，Armand培养起了对露营的热爱。)”可知，与家人一起露营的美好经历让Armand爱上了露营。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。由文章第二段中“Besides camping, Armand also enjoys driving through scenic landscapes. He does this regularly to satisfy his desire to be in nature. (除了露营，Armand还喜欢开车穿过风景如画的地方。他经常这样做，以满足自己亲近自然的渴望。)”可知，this指代的是前文提到的“driving through scenic landscapes (开车穿过风景优美的地方)”。故选D。 3．推理判断题。由文章第一段中“With this camping seed planted so early, he was always curious to explore other places. (由于这颗露营的种子早早种下，他总是好奇地去探索其他地方。)”可知，Armand是好奇的；再由文章第四段中“Armand’s journeys aren’t carefully planned. He simply sets daily goals and refuses the usual routes. (Armand的旅程并不是精心规划的。他只是设定每天的目标，拒绝走寻常路。)”可知，Armand是勇敢的。所以Armand可以被描述为“好奇和勇敢的”。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“As a primary school kid, Armand almost grew up at the campsite with his family. Every holiday, they’d spend a month and a half camping at Leentjiesklip in Langebaan. This is where Armand developed his love for camping. With this camping seed planted so early, he was always curious to explore other places. (Armand还是小学生时，就几乎是在露营地里和家人一起长大的。每个假期，他们都会在Langebaan的Leentjiesklip普露营一个半月。正是在这里，Armand培养起了对露营的热爱。由于这颗露营的种子早早种下，他总是好奇地去探索其他地方。)”可知，文章主要讲述了Armand对露营的热爱，以及他露营的经历。所以“Armand’s Love for Camping (Armand对露营的热爱)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选B。 （24-25高一上·江西南昌·期末）Tourism is back, at last. This year the number of trips abroad is expected to overtake levels reached in 2019. The World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) predicts that this year will see more overseas trips and higher traveler spending than in 2019. The return of mass tourism has caused strikes in Western hotspots such as Barcelona and Majorca. Talk to a hotel manager or a travel agent, though, and the real action is further east. Travel to Asia had been slower to recover from the covid-19 pandemic than in the West, due to extended quarantine (隔离) rules from China to Malaysia, keeping the number of tourists down. Now, however, business on the continent is reviving. The number of travellers arriving in Asian countries is set to jump by a third this year, according to the WTTC, more than in any other region. Westerners are turning up in large groups. The number of trips Americans took to Asia doubled last year. The value of dollar, which has increased strongly against Asian currencies (货币), is part of the explanation. Catherine Heald, the boss of Remote Lands, a travel agency for the rich, notes bookings for diving in Indonesia, temple visits in Japan, and food tours in Thailand. The range of destinations and activities is widening. Wealthy tourists can travel aboard the recently redeveloped Eastern & Oriental Express through Singapore and Malaysia, run by Belmond, the hotels business of LVMH, a French luxury giant. Over 500,000 hotel rooms were under construction across Asia as of June, up by over 4% from last year. Getting to Asia is also becoming easier, with home-grown and Western airlines increasing the number of flights to and from the continent. British Airways, for instance, is relaunching flights to Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur. The biggest boost to Asian tourism, though, is coming from the region’s own travellers. Chinese consumers have begun to holiday abroad again, with international trips predicted to double this year compared with 2023, according to Oxford Economics, a research firm. Even then, the number of trips will be below pre-pandemic levels, leaving plenty of room for growth. 1．Why does the author mention strikes in Western hotspots? A．To introduce tourism recovery in Asia. B．To explain the challenge in Western. C．To compare different tourism cultures. D．To show tourism's massive impact. 2．What can we infer from the passage? A．Dollar value alone doubled trips to Asia. B．Travel will fully return to pre-pandemic levels. C．Asia took quarantine measures earlier than the west. D．Asia is making efforts to accommodate more visitors. 3．What does “boost” underlined in the last paragraph refer to? A．Influence. B．Assistance. C．Increase. D．Value. 4．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．Asian Tourism: A Slow Recovery B．The Tourism Rise Returns to Asia C．Tourism Trends in the Post-Pandemic Era D．Western Tourism: Opportunities and Challenges 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了亚洲旅游业在后疫情时代的复苏情况。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段的“The return of mass tourism has caused strikes in Western hotspots such as Barcelona and Majorca.Talk to a hotel manager or a travel agent, though, and the real action is further east.(大众旅游的回归在巴塞罗那和马略卡岛等西方热门旅游地引发了罢工。然而，与酒店经理或旅行社交谈，你会发现真正的旅游热潮在更东边)”可推知，作者提到西方热门旅游地的罢工是为了引出下文亚洲旅游业的复苏。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段的“Over 500,000 hotel rooms were under construction across Asia as of June, up by over 4% from last year. Getting to Asia is also becoming easier, with home-grown and Western airlines increasing the number of flights to and from the continent.(截至 6 月，亚洲各地有超过 50 万间酒店客房在建，比去年增长超过 4%。抵达亚洲也变得更加容易，本土和西方航空公司都在增加往返亚洲大陆的航班数量)”可推知，亚洲正在建设更多的酒店客房，并增加往返亚洲的航班数量。由此推知，亚洲正在努力容纳更多的游客。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“Chinese consumers have begun to holiday abroad again, with international trips predicted to double this year compared with 2023, according to Oxford Economics, a research firm.(研究公司牛津经济研究院表示，中国消费者再次开始出国度假，预计今年的国际旅行将比2023年翻一番)”可知，亚洲游客数量大幅增加，所以对亚洲旅游业最大的推动力来自该地区自己的游客。由此可知，划线单词boost意思是 “增加，促进”。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。通读全段，尤其是文章第一段“The return of mass tourism has caused strikes in Western hotspots such as Barcelona and Majorca. Talk to a hotel manager or a travel agent, though, and the real action is further east.(大众旅游的回归在巴塞罗那和马略卡岛等西方热门旅游地引发了罢工。然而，与酒店经理或旅行社交谈，你会发现真正的旅游热潮在更东边)”以及第二段的“Now, however, business on the continent is reviving. The number of travellers arriving in Asian countries is set to jump by a third this year, according to the WTTC, more than in any other region.(然而，现在亚洲大陆的商业正在复苏。根据WTTC的数据，今年抵达亚洲国家的游客数量将增加三分之一，超过其他任何地区)”可知，文章主要介绍了亚洲旅游业在后疫情时代的复苏情况。由此可知，B选项“旅游业回升重返亚洲”最符合文章标题。故选B。 （24-25高一上·广东·阶段练习）Explore the Beauty of Guilin Are you looking for a perfect getaway to relax and enjoy nature?

First of all, always check and double-check departure (出发) time. It is surprising how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50, but the person at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting. The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have some local money in cash (现金). Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead. “Listen! I only take real money!” the driver said angrily. You can imagine how terrible I felt at that moment. The third and the last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who traveled in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day. 1．Where is the author most probably from? A．Britain. B．The USA． C．Italy. D．Greece. 2．What did the author do when he found he had no dollars to pay the taxi driver? A．He tried to pay by credit card. B．He offered to pay in pounds. C．He waited for the bank to open with the driver. D．He asked the driver to give him a free ride. 3．What’s the weather in London generally like in May? A．Warm and dry. B．Cold and dry. C．Hot and wet. D．Cool and rainy. 4．What’s the text mainly about? A．How to make life easier. B．How to ensure safety during your trip. C．How to be well prepared for a trip. D．How to enjoy ourselves on a trip. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如果你正在考虑开始旅行，这里有一些简单的规则，可以让你在旅行前后的生活更轻松。 1．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I feel sorry for some of my workmates who traveled in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.( 我为我的一些同事感到遗憾，他们在5月份，伦敦或曼彻斯特还相当凉爽的时候，穿着厚重的西装和雨衣，前往雅典、罗马或马德里等地，那里的白天已经开始变得相当温暖。)”可知，作者提到同事在伦敦和曼彻斯特，这两个城市都在英国，所以作者很可能来自英国。故选A项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead.( 去旅馆的唯一方法是乘出租车，但因为我没有美元，所以我提出用英镑代替。)”可知，作者没有美元支付出租车费，所以提出用英镑支付。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I feel sorry for some of my workmates who traveled in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.( 我为我的一些同事感到遗憾，他们在5月份，伦敦或曼彻斯特还相当凉爽的时候，穿着厚重的西装和雨衣，前往雅典、罗马或马德里等地，那里的白天已经开始变得相当温暖。)”可知，五月在伦敦或曼彻斯特人们还穿着厚衣服和雨衣，说明天气凉爽且多雨。故选D项。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“In case you are considering starting a journey, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.( 如果你正在考虑开始旅行，这里有一些简单的规则，可以让你在旅行前后的生活更轻松。)”可知，文章开篇提到如果考虑旅行，有一些规则能让旅行前后的生活更轻松，接着分别从核对出发时间、携带当地现金、了解目的地天气这三个方面讲述如何为旅行做好准备，由此可知，这篇文章主要讲了如何为旅行做好充分准备。故选C项。 重难语篇拔高练 （24-25高一上·重庆·期末）Cathy Brennan calmly paddled her bright yellow kayak (皮艇) down the Potomac River,continuing her voyage, the latest of her solo trips on major waterways. It was tough, but it allowed Brennan to let go of everything else, empty her brain of the everyday chores and focus on the present. “I’m in the moment, looking at the waves,” said Brennan.The journey is a minimalist style: a sleeping bag,a small tent, a rain jacket, a change of clothes, a first aid hit, apples and cheese sticks. “I always drink the river,” she says. Brennan loves being on the rivers, seeing the eagles above, deer on the banks and a fascinating bunch of bugs and insects that never find their way into homes. However, every few days Brennan will find a hotel for the night where she can get a shower and at a chceseburger. She’ll also check in with her husband John, who has helped her select the river and research the trips at their home. “He’s my virtual Sherpa with benefits,”Brennan says, laughing. She has a phone with her but seldom calls or texts anyone. Her children usually keep track of her via the transponder (应答器) that sends them her location every 10 minutes or so. Brennan knows that solo kayaking is not for everyone and she’s not reckless. When going through rapids (急流), she watches the weather in advance. She is careful about where she camps and who is around her. She has packed up her equipment and headed back out on the river when she has felt unsafe. She is alone on these journeys but she isn’t lonely. She suggested that we all need some disconnection from the wired world to find the wider world around us. 1．What can be inferred from Paragraph 1? A．She seeks inner peace. B．She looks forward to the future. C．She longs for travelling. D．She enjoys everyday housework. 2．What do we know about Brennan’s husband? A．He keeps track of her. B．He plans the route for her. C．He travels with her on the river. D．He contacts her via calls and texts. 3．What does the underlined word“reckless” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Fearless. B．Generous. C．Brave. D．Thoughtless. 4．How is Brennan’s kayak trip according to the passage? A．Lonely but interesting. B．Difficult and boring. C．Tough but worthwhile. D．Dangerous and expensive. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了Cathy Brennan独自划皮艇在Potomac河上进行探险旅行的故事。她认为独自划皮艇并不适合每个人，自己也十分谨慎，并建议人们偶尔远离数字世界，去发现更广阔的自然世界。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“It was tough, but it allowed Brennan to let go of everything else, empty her brain of the everyday chores and focus on the present. (虽然旅途艰难，但这让Brennan能够放下其他一切，清空大脑中日常的琐事，专注于当下。)”以及“Brennan loves being on the rivers, seeing the eagles above, deer on the banks and a fascinating bunch of bugs and insects that never find their way into homes.( Brennan喜欢呆在河上，看天上的鹰，岸上的鹿，还有一群迷人的虫子和昆虫，它们永远找不到回家的路。)”可知，Brennan选择独自划皮艇在河流上旅行，是为了摆脱日常生活的纷扰，专注于眼前的风景和感受即通过这次旅行寻求内心的平静。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“She’ll also check in with her husband John, who has helped her select the river and research the trips at their home. (她还会和丈夫John联系，他帮她选择了河流，并在家里研究了旅行。)”可知，Brennan的丈夫为她规划了旅行路线。故选B。 3．词义猜测题。根据文章第四段中的“Brennan knows that solo kayaking is not for everyone and she’s not reckless. When going through rapids (急流), she watches the weather in advance. (Brennan知道独自划皮艇并不适合每个人，而且她并不……。在穿越急流时，她会提前观察天气。)”可知，Brennan在独自划皮艇时特别是在面对急流时会提前观察天气，由此表现出谨慎的态度，。因此，可以推断出“reckless”在此处的意思是“鲁莽的、轻率的、不考虑后果的”，文中使用的是否定句，表示她并不鲁莽。选项D“Thoughtless.(轻率的、不考虑后果的)”与划线词为同义词。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“It was tough, but it allowed Brennan to let go of everything else, empty her brain of the everyday chores and focus on the present. (虽然旅途艰难，但这让Brennan能够放下其他一切，清空大脑中日常的琐事，专注于当下。)”以及最后一段中的“She is alone on these journeys but she isn’t lonely. She suggested that we all need some disconnection from the wired world to find the wider world around us. (在这些旅程中，她是孤独的，但她并不感到寂寞。她建议我们都需要暂时断开与数字世界的联系，去发现我们周围更广阔的世界。)”可知，Brennan认为这次皮艇旅行虽然艰难但很有价值，能够让她专注于当下并发现更广阔的世界。因此，C选项“Tough but worthwhile.(艰难但值得)”符合题意。故选C。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
