【答案】
1.答案:booking
解析:介词 “by” 后接动词时,需用动名词形式,“book” 的动名词是 “booking”,此处表示 “通过在线预订火车票”。
2.答案:to pack
解析:“remind sb. to do sth.” 是固定搭配,意为 “提醒某人做某事”,所以此处填 “to pack”,表示 “提醒我打包一些舒适的鞋子”。
3.答案:missing
解析:“avoid” 后接动词时,要用动名词形式,“miss” 的动名词是 “missing”,“avoid missing the train” 表示 “避免错过火车”。
4.答案:talking
解析:“spend time (in) doing sth.” 是固定用法,意为 “花费时间做某事”,“in” 可以省略,所以此处填 “talking”,表示 “我们花时间谈论我们想去的地方”。
5.答案:had been recommended
解析:“hotel” 和 “recommend” 之间是被动关系,且 “推荐” 这一动作发生在 “checked into” 之前,即过去的过去,所以用过去完成时的被动语态 “had been recommended”。
6.答案:which
解析:此处是非限制性定语从句,先行词是 “the Terracotta Army”,指物,关系词在从句中作主语,所以用 “which”。
7.答案:were built
解析:“statues” 和 “build” 之间是被动关系,且 “建造” 这一动作发生在 2000 多年前,是过去的动作,所以用一般过去时的被动语态 “were built”。
8.答案:that
解析:“such...that...” 是固定句型,意为 “如此…… 以至于……”,此处表示 “天如此热,以至于我们不得不停好几次喝水”,所以填 “that”。
9.答案:including
解析:“including” 是介词,意为 “包括”,此处用来补充说明 “local food” 包含 “the famous Xi'an noodles”,所以填 “including”。
10.答案:had made
解析:“By the time we left” 表示 “到我们离开的时候”,“离开” 是过去的动作,“制作美好回忆” 发生在 “离开” 之前,即过去的过去,所以用过去完成时 “had made”。
六、阅读理解
Researchers have proposed a ①novel method for counting and tracking vehicles on public roads,a development that could improve current traffic systems and help travelers get to their destinations faster.
Using the cameras already installed on campus buses at the Ohio State University,researchers proved that they could automatically and accurately measure counts of vehicles on urban roadways,detect objects in the road and distinguish parked vehicles from those that are moving.
In previous studies,Ohio State researchers found that using these mobile cameras provides much better spatial and temporal(时间的) coverage than relying on often temporarily placed sensors that don’t provide a view of many streets and roads in a city.
“If we collect and ②process more high-resolution(高清晰度的) spatial information about what’s happening on the roads,then planners could better understand changes in demand,effectively improving efficiency in the broader transportation system,” said Keith Redmill,lead author of the study.
“If we can measure traffic in a way that is as good or better than what is conventionally done with fixed sensors,then we will have created something incredibly useful extremely cheaply,” he said.“Our goal is to start building a system that could do this without much manual intervention because if you want to collect this information over lots of potential vehicles and lots of time,it’s worth fully automating that process.”
While still a long way from total implementation(实施),the study suggests the system’s results bear promise for the future of intelligent traffic surveillance.Transportation planners,engineers and operators make vital decisions about the future of our roadways,so when designing transportation systems to work over the next 30 to 50 years,it’s necessary that we give them data that allows them to improve the efficiency of the system and the level of service provided to travelers.
( )1.How can cameras on buses benefit travelers?
A. By shortening their travel time.
B.By making their schedules tight.
C.By decreasing their transport cost.
D.By improving their safety awareness.
( )2.What can we know about the sensors placed temporarily?
A. They provide more spatial coverage.
B.They can’t detect objects on the road.
C.They cover less view of the urban traffic.
D.They accurately record the flow of traffic.
( )3.What does the underlined word “surveillance” in paragraph 6 mean?
A.Operation. B.Monitoring.
C.Protection. D.Arrangement.
( )4.What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Transportation Automation Is on Its Way
B.It Is Time to Improve the Efficiency of Traffic System
C.Transportation Planners Use Cameras to Make Policies
D.Cameras Installed on Buses Can Better Measure Traffic
【答案】1.A 2.C 3.B 4.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍的是研究人员证明安装在校园公交车上的摄像头可以统计和追踪公共道路上的车辆,这一发展有望改善当前的交通系统,帮助旅行者更快地到达目的地。
1.A 细节理解题
解析:根据第一段“Researchers have proposed a novel method for counting and tracking vehicles on public roads,a development that could improve current traffic systems and help travelers get to their destinations faster.”和第二段“Using the cameras already installed on campus buses...”可知,公交车上的摄像头能够帮助旅行者更快地到达目的地,即缩短出行时间。
2.C 细节理解题
解析:根据第三段“...often temporarily placed sensors that don’t provide a view of many streets and roads in a city.”可知,临时安置的传感器不能提供城市中许多道路和街道的视图,即它们对城市交通的覆盖较少。
3.B 词义猜测题
解析:根据第二段“Using the cameras already installed on campus buses at the Ohio State University...detect objects in the road and distinguish parked vehicles from those that are moving.”以及画线词前面的内容“While still a long way from total implementation(实施),the study suggests the system’s results bear promise for the future...”可知,安装在校园公交车上的摄像头能够自动、准确地测量城市道路上的车辆数量,探测道路上的物体,并区分停放的车辆和行驶的车辆。虽然距离全面实施这项技术还有很长的路要走,但研究表明,该系统的结果对未来的智能交通监控是充满希望的。故画线词“surveillance”意为“监控”。
4.D 标题归纳题
解析:通读全文,尤其根据第一、二段可知,文章讲述的是研究人员证明安装在校园公交车上的摄像头可以统计和追踪公共道路上的车辆,这一发展有望改善当前的交通系统,帮助旅行者更快地到达目的地。
七、七选五
For most people,traveling through the mountains or sampling French cuisine is a rare treat. 1 If you intend to become a travel writer,here is how you can get on your professional adventure.
Learn to be a descriptive writer.
People come to travel writing from all walks of life,and publications tend to be concerned with your ability to deliver a great piece over any advanced degree.It’s important to learn skills to describe places so that your readers can feel as if they were personally on the scene. 2
Immerse readers with your descriptive writing.
Readers want you to take them on a journey with you. 3 What you need to do is evoke(唤起) the five senses using descriptive writing techniques.The use of simile and expressive language brings the piece to life and makes the readers feel like they’re traveling along with you.
①Cherry-pick the details that will tell the best story.
4 To make a stronger piece,you need to focus on the right stories and details,which means knowing what to add and what you can leave out.Identifying what’s most important and most interesting to your audience makes for more absorbing writing.
5
You might be asked to write about a topic you aren’t familiar with or you might need to learn more about a place’s history or background to give your piece greater context.Doing research in advance will allow you to create an accurate and well-informed story.
Travel writing allows you to satisfy your strong desire for travel and make a living of it.It is also a way to connect people across cultures and great distances and build an appreciation for the ②uniqueness and diversity around us.
A.Preparation is key.
B.You don’t necessarily pay for their trip.
C.Make a living by working as a travel writer.
D.A descriptive piece should leave out the details.
E.For travel writers,it might just be another day on the job.
F.To achieve this,you might as well take a travel writing course.
G.Though you may have recorded many interesting details,you can’t include everything.
【答案】1.E 2.F 3.B 4.G 5.A
【导语】本文围绕如何成为旅行作家,给出建议:要学会描述性写作,用文字带读者 “身临其境”,精选细节,做好准备。旅行写作能满足旅行欲,还能连接不同文化。
1.E [上文“For most people,traveling through the mountains or sampling French cuisine is a rare treat.”提到游览山川和品尝法国菜对大多数人来说是少有的体验,结合下文“If you intend to become a travel writer,here is how you can get on your professional adventure.”可知,文章接下来要介绍如何成为旅行作家,所以要先提出旅行作家这个话题。选项E“对于旅行作家来说,这可能只是工作的又一天。”与上文句式相近,构成“珍稀体验”与“工作日常”的对比,并引出下文。故选E。]
2.F [根据上文“It’s important to learn skills to describe places so that your readers can feel as if they were personally on the scene.”可知,要学习描述性写作技巧,以便使读者有身临其境之感,选项F“要做到这一点,你不妨选修一门旅行写作课程。”承接上文并进一步提出建议。故选F。]
3.B [上文“Readers want you to take them on a journey with you.”提到读者想让你带他们旅行,而下文“What you need to do is evoke(唤起) the five senses using descriptive writing techniques.”则指出你要做的是利用描述技巧调动读者的感官,可推知你不是要在现实中带读者旅行,选项B“你不一定要为他们的旅行买单。”承上启下,符合语境。故选B。]
4.G [根据下文“To make a stronger piece,you need to focus on the right stories and details,which means knowing what to add and what you can leave out.”可知,这里建议要注意内容的删减和选择。选项G“尽管你可能已经记录了许多有趣的细节,但你不可能把所有事情都包括在内。”和下文意思一致。故选G。]
5.A [空处为本部分的主旨句。根据下文“You might be asked to write about a topic...Doing research in advance will allow you to create an accurate and wellinformed story.”可知,这一段旨在建议要提前做好研究等准备工作。选项A“准备是关键。”与本部分主旨相符。故选A。]

Using the cameras already installed on campus buses at the Ohio State University,researchers proved that they could automatically and accurately measure counts of vehicles on urban roadways,detect objects in the road and distinguish parked vehicles from those that are moving.
In previous studies,Ohio State researchers found that using these mobile cameras provides much better spatial and temporal(时间的) coverage than relying on often temporarily placed sensors that don’t provide a view of many streets and roads in a city.
“If we collect and ②process more high-resolution(高清晰度的) spatial information about what’s happening on the roads,then planners could better understand changes in demand,effectively improving efficiency in the broader transportation system,” said Keith Redmill,lead author of the study.
“If we can measure traffic in a way that is as good or better than what is conventionally done with fixed sensors,then we will have created something incredibly useful extremely cheaply,” he said.“Our goal is to start building a system that could do this without much manual intervention because if you want to collect this information over lots of potential vehicles and lots of time,it’s worth fully automating that process.”
While still a long way from total implementation(实施),the study suggests the system’s results bear promise for the future of intelligent traffic surveillance.Transportation planners,engineers and operators make vital decisions about the future of our roadways,so when designing transportation systems to work over the next 30 to 50 years,it’s necessary that we give them data that allows them to improve the efficiency of the system and the level of service provided to travelers.
