A
The other day,Dino,our neighbor across the road,saw me in front of our new home in Italy and called out,“Good evening!” His English,though limited,is much better than my Italian.“You OK?” he asked.
He had greeted me before,usually with a good morning or a good evening.Once,seeing him trying to fix a tall street lamp,I’d held the ladder for him to climb.But that was pretty much it for us:a general air of friendliness,nothing more.
I’d just concluded 46 years living in New York City.But now I’m living in a town in Italy’s Puglia region,and everyone here except my family is a stranger.And,living in the countryside as we do,I’ve started to sense pains of being disconnected.
This moment therefore seemed an opportunity to get to know Dino a little.I could have stayed behind our gates to talk with him through his gates.But instead I went across the road toward him.I stood in the street talking with Dino and his wife,Grazia—I in English,they in Italian.One minute later they invited me in for a tour.
Here was a fig(无花果) tree,bearing ripe figs.Dino picked a few of the fruits,tore one in half,and put one-half in his mouth.He handed me the other half and signaled to me to follow suit,and I did.
“Delicious!” I declared.
I once saw a wonderful documentary about Gregory Peck.In it,the older actor travels to Ireland to meet his new grandson.But first,wandering a field,he happens upon a fig tree.He picks a fig and eats it with obvious delight.To me,the scene captures the sweetness of life and how such sweetness is all around us—if only we’d bother to reach out and taste it.
Dino and I repeated this sequence with trees bearing plums and walnuts,too—he picking,I tasting.Despite our differences in language—neither of us knew many of the other’s words—nothing important was lost.Both of us understood all we needed to understand:that now we were true neighbors.
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。这篇文章讲述了作者从纽约搬到意大利普利亚,在一个新地方感到格格不入。但是与邻居迪诺的互动产生了一种真正的联系和社区感,作者发现语言的不同并不是友谊的阻碍。
1.What was the author’s feeling about the new living situation in the beginning?
A.He felt happy and content with his move.
B.He felt separated and kind of lonely in the new town.
C.He felt homesick and wants to go back to New York City.
D.He felt thrilled to meet new people in the new community.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段中“and everyone here except my family is a stranger...I’ve started to sense pains of being disconnected”可知,作者刚从纽约搬到意大利普利亚时,除了家人,其余的人对作者来说都是陌生人,而且感到孤独。故选B。
2.Why did the author cross the road toward Dino?
A.To help Dino fix the street lamp.
B.To become more familiar with Dino.
C.To hold the ladder for Dino to climb.
D.To avoid talking with Dino behind the gates.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中“This moment therefore seemed an opportunity to get to know Dino a little.”以及“But instead I went across the road toward him...One minute later they invited me in for a tour.”可知,作者穿过马路跟迪诺说话,是因为想要更多地了解他,跟他更熟悉一些。故选B。
3.What did Dino do while showing the author around?
A.He picked fruits for the author to taste.
B.He showed off his private possessions.
C.He told the story of his family members.
D.He taught the author how to plant fruit trees.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据第五段内容可知,在带作者参观的同时,迪诺还摘了一些无花果给作者品尝。故选A。
4.What does the author want to prove by recalling the documentary?
A.The fig is really the sweetest fruit.
B.Fig trees can survive in any places.
C.Life is a mixture of sweet and bitter.
D.Sweetness exists in life everywhere.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“To me,the scene captures the sweetness of life and how such sweetness is all around us—if only we’d bother to reach out and taste it(对我来说,这一幕捕捉到了生活的甜蜜,以及这种甜蜜是如何围绕着我们的——只要我们愿意伸出手去品尝它).”可推知,作者想通过回忆这部纪录片来证明生活中处处都有甜蜜。故选D。
B
Enjoying her tea and book,a young woman sits alone in a café.She pauses briefly to write in a nearby notepad and then shows her words to a passing café waiter:“Where are the toilets please?” This is a very scene in Tokyo’s so-called “silent cafés”,where customers are not allowed to speak,and only communicate by writing in notepads.
Although some people don’t like silent cafés,the concept gains its popularity by a desire to be alone among young Japanese,a situation brought by economic uncertainty,a shift in traditional family support structures.The growing social isolation also contributing to its appearance,young people get used to the saying “Leave me alone.” The phenomenon is not limited to coffee shops but covers everything from silent discos,where participants dance alone wearing wireless headphones connected to the DJ,to products such as small desk tents designed for conversation—free privacy in the office.One Kyoto company even offers single women the opportunity to have a “one woman wedding”—a full bridal affair,complete with white dress and ceremony,and the only thing missing is the groom.The trend has its own media expression—“botchi-zoku”,referring to individuals who consciously choose to do things completely on their own.
In order to enjoy some solo time,Chihiro Higashikokubaru,a 23-year-old nurse,travelled 90 minutes from her home to Tokyo on her day off.When asked about the reason,Miss Higashikokubaru said:“I heard about this place on the Internet and I like the idea of coming here.I work as a nurse and it’s always very busy and tough.There are very few quiet places in Tokyo,and it’s a big and fast-paced city,which I don’t always like.I just want to come and sit somewhere quietly on my own.I’m going to drink a cup of tea and maybe do some drawings.I like the idea of a quiet,calm atmosphere.”
5.Which of the following may account for the idea of “silent cafés” in Japan?
A.The change in family support structures.
B.The steady economic situation.
C.The rising appeal for privacy.
D.The rapid development of the Internet.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。文章第二段第一句提到了两个原因,即economic uncertainty和a shift in traditional family support structures(经济不确定性和传统家庭支持结构的转变)。故选A。
6.What can we know about the silent café according to paragraphs 1 & 2?
A.People can’t speak in the silent cafés,except the waiter.
B.Not all the people favor the idea of “silent cafés”.
C.There are no toilets in the silent cafés.
D.The silent cafés can cure people’s depression thoroughly.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。文章第二段讲到“Although some people don’t like silent cafés(尽管有些人不喜欢安静的咖啡馆)”,因此根据第一、二段可知,并不是所有人都赞成“无声咖啡馆”的想法,故选B。
7.What do we know about Higashikokubaru?
A.She doesn’t like her career as a nurse.
B.She doesn’t like the fast-paced life in big cities.
C.She travelled to Tokyo on her work days.
D.She enjoys her solo time in a quiet place.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“In order to enjoy some solo time,Chihiro Higashikokubaru,a 23-year-old nurse,travelled 90 minutes from her home to Tokyo on her day off.”和“I just want to come and sit somewhere quietly on my own.”可知,Higashikokubaru享受在一个安静的地方独处,故选D。
8.What is the best title for the passage?
A.A New Social Trend in Japan
B.Lonely Japanese
C.Leave Behind Your Work
D.Silent Cafés,Great Satisfaction
答案 D
解析 标题归纳题。通读全文,尤其文章最后“I just want to come and sit...a quiet,calm atmosphere.”可知,人们在咖啡馆里独处时获得了安静、平静的氛围。因此这篇文章最好的标题是“安静的咖啡馆,极大的满足感”,故选D。
Ⅳ.七选五(每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
(2024·新课标Ⅰ)
Not all great writers are great spellers.If you want to be published,it’s vital to submit a perfect,professionally presented manuscript(原稿). 1 No editor is likely to tolerate a writer who does not take the trouble to spell words correctly.
I keep two reference books close-by on my desk:dictionary and thesaurus(同义词词典).I don’t trust my laptop’s spellchecker. 2 Of course,these days there are plenty of online dictionaries and thesauruses,but I’m old-fashioned enough to prefer a hard cover and pages I can leaf through with my fingers.I use the Concise Oxford Dictionary and the Collins Thesaurus.
3 It should give you a precise definition of each word,thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar,but not identical.It will also usually show how the word is pronounced.
In addition,I have an old two-volume copy of the Shorter Oxford Dictionary,picked up a few years ago in a bookshop sale for just 99 pence.Of course,with its 2,672 pages,it’s not exactly short.It contains around 163,000 words,plus word combinations and idiomatic phrases. 4 However,if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage,there’s nothing better.
For well over a hundred years the most influential English dictionary was Samuel Johnson’s Dictionary of the English Language published in 1755.“To make dictionaries is dull(乏味) work,” wrote Johnson,illustrating one definition of “dull”. 5 A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience.
A.I don’t often use this dictionary.
B.It takes no account of the context.
C.But I still don’t want to replace them.
D.But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read.
E.Of course,a dictionary is not only for spelling.
F.That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes.
G.Dictionaries don’t always give you enough information.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文,中等难度。文章主要介绍了作者使用英语词典的经验和心得以及从中获得的乐趣。
1.答案 F
解析 F选项“这意味着良好的语法和没有拼写错误”直接响应前文提到的出版要求,强调了提交稿件的基本标准,与前文强调的专业手稿标准呈现解释关系。故选F。
2.答案 B
解析 上文“I don’t trust my laptop’s spellchecker.”提到作者不相信笔记本电脑的拼写检查器。B选项“它不考虑上下文”解释了作者不相信的原因,符合题意,故选B。
3.答案 E
解析 下文提到了字典的多重作用和功能,E选项(当然,字典不仅仅是用来拼写的)能引起下文内容。故选E。
4.答案 A
解析 A选项“我不经常用这本字典”中的指示代词this dictionary指的就是上文中作者提到的字典。同时与下文“However,if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage,there’s nothing better.”构成转折关系,提到了字典的使用情况,虽不常用,但却是查单词的来源或者例句的好帮手,A选项承上启下,故选A。
5.答案 D
解析 上文“‘To make dictionaries is dull(乏味) work,’ wrote Johnson,illustrating one definition of ‘dull’.”提到了Johnson认为编写字典是件乏味的工作,下文“A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience.”提到浏览字典也是一种阅读的乐趣,D选项(但是一本字典读起来是一种乐趣)是作者对字典的评价,与上文的“乏味”形成对比,与上文构成转折关系。故选D。
