专题01 阅读理解应用文（广东专用） 话题一：旅游观光 1.（23-24高二下·广东省湛江·期末） Eiffel Tower The Eiffel Tower isn’t just a symbol of Paris, but a symbol for all of France. Established by Gustave Eiffel to memorize the French Revolution in 1889, the 1,050-foot (320-metre) tower once held the title of the world’s tallest structure. The basics The Eiffel Tower’s first floor features exhibits, kid-friendly experiences, and the 58 Tour Eiffel restaurant; the second floor includes the Jules Verne Restaurant; and the third-floor summit, accessible via a glass elevator, features Gustave Eiffel’s private apartments and a Champagne bar. Of course, all levels offer striking 360-degree views of the City of Light. Given the structure’s global popularity, the crowds can be quite large, meaning that priority-access tours are highly recommended—in peak season, long lines mean that waits can often be over 3 hours. Save precious sightseeing time by booking a skip-the-line Eiffel Tower ticket with or without a tour guide; this experience can be combined with a Paris city tour. If you’d rather view the iconic (标志性的) structure in all its glory than head to the top, book a Seine River cruise (巡航), or a walking, biking, or Segway tour. Things to know before you go Plan your visit in advance and book skip-the-line tickets to avoid a long wait time. If you purchase an admission ticket for Eiffel Tower summit access, you’ll head straight to the top before stopping at the lower levels on your downward journey. There are ATMs and souvenir shops on the ground floor. The tower’s first two levels are wheelchair accessible, but the summit is not. You’ll be required to undergo a security screening before entering the tower. How to get there Take metro line 6 to Bir Hakeim or RER line C to the Champ de Mars station. For better views, take metro line 6 or 9 to the Trocadero stop across from the River Seine. 21.On which floor are there the most children probably? A．The first floor. B．The second floor. C．The third floor. D．The top floor. 22.What do you know about going to Eiffel Tower? A．You can’t take a wheelchair inside. B．You must buy a skip-the-line ticket to visit it. C．You can take metro line 9 to Bir Hakeim station. D．You can reach the top with an admission ticket for summit access. 23.Where is this text probably taken from? A．A science fiction. B．A travel brochure. C．A news report. D．A diary. 【答案】21.A 22.D 23.B 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要围绕埃菲尔铁塔这一标志性建筑进行介绍，包括其历史背景、基本构造、参观注意事项以及如何到达等各个方面。从而为读者提供关于埃菲尔铁塔的详细信息，帮助他们更好地了解和规划参观该景点的行程。 21.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The Eiffel Tower’s first floor features exhibits, kid-friendly experiences, and the 58 Tour Eiffel restaurant; the second floor includes the Jules Verne Restaurant; and the third-floor summit, accessible via a glass elevator, features Gustave Eiffel’s private apartments and a Champagne bar.(埃菲尔铁塔的第一层设有展览、适合儿童的体验活动和58号埃菲尔铁塔餐厅；第二层设有儒勒·凡尔纳餐厅；第三层，即顶峰，可以通过玻璃电梯到达，这里曾是古斯塔夫·埃菲尔的私人公寓，并设有一个香槟酒吧。)”可知，埃菲尔铁塔的第一层最受孩子的欢迎，因此可能有最多的孩子。故选A。 22.细节理解题。根据文章Things to know before you go部分中的“If you purchase an admission ticket for Eiffel Tower summit access, you’ll head straight to the top before stopping at the lower levels on your downward journey.(如果你购买了通往埃菲尔铁塔顶峰的入场券，你将直接前往塔顶，然后在向下走的途中再参观较低的楼层。)”可知，如果你购买了通往埃菲尔铁塔顶峰的入场券，你将直接前往塔顶，然后在向下走的途中再参观较低的楼层。因此，持有顶峰入场券可以到达塔顶。故选D。 23.推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，这篇文章详细介绍了埃菲尔铁塔的历史、结构、参观事项以及如何到达等信息，这些都是旅游宣传册中常见的内容。文章的目的在于为读者提供关于埃菲尔铁塔的详细信息，帮助他们更好地了解和规划参观行程。因此，这篇文章很可能来自于一本旅游宣传册或旅游指南。故选B。 2.（23-24高二下·广东省江门市·期末） 4 Most Scenic Drives in America From the lonely roads to coastal drives, gas up the car and check out 4 of the most scenic byways America has to offer.

First discovered in 1998 and then extensively excavated (发掘) by a team led by David Mearns between 2013 and 2015, it is the oldest shipwreck (沉船) recovered from Europe’s Age of Exploration. Black Sea Shipwreck Discovered in 2018 by a team from the Black Sea Maritime Archaeology Project, the ship sank more than 2,400 years ago. It is the oldest undamaged shipwreck ever found. “A ship in such good condition from the classical world, is something I would never have believed possible,” said Professor Jon Adams, the principal investigator of the team that found the wreck. Gribshunden The flagship of John, King of Denmark, caught fire and sank in the Baltic Sea in 1495. There, it lay undiscovered until members of a local dive club came across it in the 1970s; unaware of its significance, they did not report it to archaeologists until 2000, and not until 2013 was the wreck’s identity confirmed. Considered one of the best-preserved shipwrecks of the period, it has slowly been revealing its secrets. Black Swan In May 2007, a Florida-based company announced that, using underwater robots, it had discovered a shipwreck in the Atlantic, code-named (代号为) “Black Swan”. However, the government of Spain claimed that the wreck was the Nuestra Senora de las Mercedes, a Spanish ship that sank off the coast of Portugal in 1804 following a battle with four British navy ships.

Established by Gustave Eiffel to memorize the French Revolution in 1889, the 1,050-foot (320-metre) tower once held the title of the world’s tallest structure. The basics The Eiffel Tower’s first floor features exhibits, kid-friendly experiences, and the 58 Tour Eiffel restaurant; the second floor includes the Jules Verne Restaurant; and the third-floor summit, accessible via a glass elevator, features Gustave Eiffel’s private apartments and a Champagne bar. Of course, all levels offer striking 360-degree views of the City of Light. Given the structure’s global popularity, the crowds can be quite large, meaning that priority-access tours are highly recommended—in peak season, long lines mean that waits can often be over 3 hours. Save precious sightseeing time by booking a skip-the-line Eiffel Tower ticket with or without a tour guide; this experience can be combined with a Paris city tour. If you’d rather view the iconic (标志性的) structure in all its glory than head to the top, book a Seine River cruise (巡航), or a walking, biking, or Segway tour. Things to know before you go Plan your visit in advance and book skip-the-line tickets to avoid a long wait time. If you purchase an admission ticket for Eiffel Tower summit access, you’ll head straight to the top before stopping at the lower levels on your downward journey. There are ATMs and souvenir shops on the ground floor. The tower’s first two levels are wheelchair accessible, but the summit is not. You’ll be required to undergo a security screening before entering the tower. How to get there Take metro line 6 to Bir Hakeim or RER line C to the Champ de Mars station. For better views, take metro line 6 or 9 to the Trocadero stop across from the River Seine. 21.On which floor are there the most children probably? A．The first floor. B．The second floor. C．The third floor. D．The top floor. 22.What do you know about going to Eiffel Tower? A．You can’t take a wheelchair inside. B．You must buy a skip-the-line ticket to visit it. C．You can take metro line 9 to Bir Hakeim station. D．You can reach the top with an admission ticket for summit access. 23.Where is this text probably taken from? A．A science fiction.

First discovered in 1998 and then extensively excavated (发掘) by a team led by David Mearns between 2013 and 2015, it is the oldest shipwreck (沉船) recovered from Europe’s Age of Exploration. Black Sea Shipwreck Discovered in 2018 by a team from the Black Sea Maritime Archaeology Project, the ship sank more than 2,400 years ago. It is the oldest undamaged shipwreck ever found. “A ship in such good condition from the classical world, is something I would never have believed possible,” said Professor Jon Adams, the principal investigator of the team that found the wreck. Gribshunden The flagship of John, King of Denmark, caught fire and sank in the Baltic Sea in 1495. There, it lay undiscovered until members of a local dive club came across it in the 1970s; unaware of its significance, they did not report it to archaeologists until 2000, and not until 2013 was the wreck’s identity confirmed. Considered one of the best-preserved shipwrecks of the period, it has slowly been revealing its secrets. Black Swan In May 2007, a Florida-based company announced that, using underwater robots, it had discovered a shipwreck in the Atlantic, code-named (代号为) “Black Swan”. However, the government of Spain claimed that the wreck was the Nuestra Senora de las Mercedes, a Spanish ship that sank off the coast of Portugal in 1804 following a battle with four British navy ships.
