话题阅读精练
一、阅读理解
Passage 01
I travel a lot, and I find out different styles(风格)of directing the way every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”
Foreign tourists are often puzzled in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks (地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will answer the travellers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. You are seeing that the post office is across from the bus stop.”
In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat. In many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile. ”
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map;they measure (测量) distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask, “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.
It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea. ” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know”. People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get lost in Yucatan!
1.Where do people measure distance in time?
A.New York. B.Los Angeles. C.Kansas. D.Iowa.
2.What can we infer from the passage?
A.It’s important for travellers to understand cultural differences.
B.It’s useful for travellers to know how to ask the way properly.
C.People have similar understandings of politeness.
D.New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.

Passage 05
“Dad,” I say one day, “let’s take a trip. Why don’t you fly out and meet me?”
My father had just retired after 27 years as a manager for IBM. His job filled his day, his thought, and his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru. While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks.
My father sees me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wants me to settle down, but now I want him to find an adventure. He agrees to travel with me through the national parks. We meet four weeks later in Rapid City. “What is our first stop?” asks my father. “What time is it?” “Still don’t have a watch?” Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore. As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite (花岗岩), his mouth and eyes open slowly, like those of a little boy. “Unbelievable.” he says, “How was this done?” A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14 years to the sculpture and then left the final touches to his son. We stare up and I ask myself, “Would I ever devote my life to anything?” “No directions, no goals” I always used to hear those words in my father’s voice. Now I hear them in my own.
The next day we’re at Yellowstone National Park, where we have a picnic. “Did you ever travel with your dad?” I ask. “Only once,” he says, “I never spoke much with my father. We loved each other — but never said it. Whatever he could give me, he gave.” The last sentence — it’s probably the same thing I’d say about my father. And what I’d want my child to say about me.
In Glacier National Park, my father says, “I’ve never seen water so blue.” I have, in several places of the world. I can keep travelling. I realize — and maybe a regular job won’t be as dull as I feared. Weeks after our trip, I call my father. “The photos from the trip are wonderful.” he says. “We have got to take another trip like that sometime.” I tell him I’ve decided to settle down, and I’m wearing a watch.
14.We can learn from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3 that the father ________.
A.liked the author’s collection of stamps
B.was unhappy with the author’s lifestyle
C.got bored with his job
D.followed the fashion
15.What does the author realize at Mount Rushmore?
A.He should pursue a specific aim in life.
B.He should learn sculpture in the future.
C.His father is as innocent as a little boy.
D.His father is interested in sculpture.
16.What could be inferred about the author and his father from the end of the story?
A.They begin to change their attitudes to life.
B.They decide to learn photography together.
C.The Swiss watch has drawn them close.
D.The call solves their disagreements.
Passage 06
The world is full of cheap vacation spots. Here are my favorite cheap places to travel to help you plan your next affordable adventure:
Thailand
Thailand is incredible. It’s also super. affordable. With a tourist trail going back decades, Thailand is the heart of backpacking in Southeast Asia, and you can get by on between $30-35 per day thanks to cheap guesthouses, budget street food (which can be found for as little as $1 !), local buses, and the many cheap and free attractions. However, even at the price, Thailand is still one of the most bargain-friendly destinations in the world and should not be skipped!
Cambodia
It’s affordable and beautiful, and the locals are incredibly hospitable. You can get a private, air-conditioned room for $25, street food for S2-5 and transportation across the entire country for $20-25. If you are spending close to $50 per day, you are living large. Cambodia is cheaper than popular Thailand but just as beautiful and filled with some of the nicest people in the world. Plus, it’s home to the incredible Angkor Wat .
Portugal
It is a country with beautiful beaches, stunning seaside cliffs, delicious food, friendly locals, and historic cities all at bargain prices. Portugal has become a lot more popular and crowded in recent years and Lisbon has become especially expensive as people move there and drive up prices. It’s a great place after all! However, once you get outside of Lisbon, prices are still relatively cheap compared to the rest of Western Europe. Expect to get by on S45-60 per day if you’re a budget backpacker.
Georgia
Georgia has everything 1 need in a destination: it’s cheap, has delicious food and wine, offers incredible hikes and mountain scenery without huge numbers of tourists. You can get by on next to nothing here too, with budget travelers spending as little as $25 per day. Beer is around $2, a week’s worth of groceries costs around $25-30, and most museums and historic sites cost just $2-3.
17.Which country is the best choice, if you have a tight budget?
A.Thailand. B.Cambodia. C.Portugal. D.Georgia.
18.What can tourists do in Portugal according to the passage?
A.Climb up the stunning mountain cliff. B.Purchase the cheapest things in Lisbon.
C.Visit beautiful beaches and historic cities. D.Enjoy delicious street food and wine.
19.Where can the text be found?
A.In a history book. B.In a novel.
C.In a travel brochure. D.In an art magazine.

Most Africans are poor, not because they are really poor, but because 40 decides to describe them as such.
My 95-year-old grandfather is “poor”, too. He certainly lives on “less than a dollar a day”. But during all his past time, he has never been 41 anything, and not begged. He was only in school for a year in the 1930s and learned to read and write. This is 42 he is living.
My grandfather usually goes to pick up bananas for his dinner on his farm when he wants 43 . There are other fruits and all kinds of vegetables. 365 days a year, he raises tens of cows that 44 him with milk every day. He also has about 20 goats. In Uganda (乌干达), goat milk is generally not considered 45 , possibly due to too much cow milk that tastes good, so we never milk goats. He would 46 a couple of them to get enough money to send his children to school. He also kept a few chicks 47 a hobby.
His farm produces more than he can use. He sells some of them to buy something 48 for life. He has eleven children, and my mother was his first kid. He sent 49 of them to school, and saw eight of them through college. He sold at least two cows, some goats and something else each school term to send his every child to school.
He has never 50 food and daily things. He has been like this for the past 75 years.
Why the long story? My grandfather is 51 poor, just like millions of other Africans. He holds almost no money with him, and in fact he 52 needs it. He produces most of what he needs. But using the Standard World Bank, my grandfather is really poor.
But what’s the 53 ? I live in the city and can earn about 12,000 dollars a year after tax, which is a high salary in Uganda. But I can hardly support my family as 54 and comfortably as my grandfather. So what on earth is poor?
40.A.something B.someone C.anything D.anyone

44.A.allow B.require C.provide D.offer
45.A.special B.healthy C.expensive D.delicious
46.A.buy B.sell C.steal D.keep
47.A.than B.through C.by D.as
48.A.proud B.popular C.creative D.necessary
49.A.all B.most C.some D.none

三、语法填空
Passage 01
Complete the passage with the correct form of the verbs in brackets.
I 55 (hear)a strange sound for a while. It’s a deep, loud roar, like a lion’s. But there aren’t any lions here…Or are there? Soon I see what 56 (make) the noise: a howler monkey. Now I feel less worried. Realising that something 57 (move) on my shoulder, I turn my head to look at it. Oh no! It’s a giant spider! I brush it off and it runs under some leaves. I try to bat away the huge insects, which 58 (fly) around my head in a black cloud for quite a while.
I pull off the headset and I’m back in my living room. Thank goodness! I 59 (give) the latest virtual reality headset and, for the last twenty minutes, I 60 (use) it to explore the Amazon. This is an amazing experience and a reminder of how many species there are in the rain forest. We must do all we can to protect it.

Passage 05
“Dad,” I say one day, “let’s take a trip. Why don’t you fly out and meet me?”
My father had just retired after 27 years as a manager for IBM. His job filled his day, his thought, and his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru. While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks.
My father sees me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wants me to settle down, but now I want him to find an adventure. He agrees to travel with me through the national parks. We meet four weeks later in Rapid City. “What is our first stop?” asks my father. “What time is it?” “Still don’t have a watch?” Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore. As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite (花岗岩), his mouth and eyes open slowly, like those of a little boy. “Unbelievable.” he says, “How was this done?” A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14 years to the sculpture and then left the final touches to his son. We stare up and I ask myself, “Would I ever devote my life to anything?” “No directions, no goals” I always used to hear those words in my father’s voice. Now I hear them in my own.
The next day we’re at Yellowstone National Park, where we have a picnic. “Did you ever travel with your dad?” I ask. “Only once,” he says, “I never spoke much with my father. We loved each other — but never said it. Whatever he could give me, he gave.” The last sentence — it’s probably the same thing I’d say about my father. And what I’d want my child to say about me.
In Glacier National Park, my father says, “I’ve never seen water so blue.” I have, in several places of the world. I can keep travelling. I realize — and maybe a regular job won’t be as dull as I feared. Weeks after our trip, I call my father. “The photos from the trip are wonderful.” he says. “We have got to take another trip like that sometime.” I tell him I’ve decided to settle down, and I’m wearing a watch.
14.We can learn from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3 that the father ________.
A.liked the author’s collection of stamps
B.was unhappy with the author’s lifestyle
C.got bored with his job
D.followed the fashion
15.What does the author realize at Mount Rushmore?
A.He should pursue a specific aim in life.
B.He should learn sculpture in the future.
C.His father is as innocent as a little boy.
D.His father is interested in sculpture.
16.What could be inferred about the author and his father from the end of the story?
A.They begin to change their attitudes to life.
B.They decide to learn photography together.
C.The Swiss watch has drawn them close.
D.The call solves their disagreements.
【答案】14.B 15.A 16.A
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者喜欢旅游,而作者的父亲喜欢工作,在父亲退休后,作者邀请父亲去旅游,在旅游的过程中父子二人对生活的态度发生了变化,父亲想去旅游,而作者却想静下来工作。
14.推理判断题。根据第三段的“My father sees me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wants me to settle down, but now I want him to find an adventure.(父亲看着我漫无目的地漂流,33岁的我除了一本满是滑稽邮票的护照什么都没有。他想让我安定下来,但现在我想让他去冒险)”可推知,作者的父亲不满意作者的生活方式。故选B。
15.细节理解题。根据第三段的““No directions, no goals” I always used to hear those words in my father’s voice. Now I hear them in my own.(“没有方向,没有目标。”我常常从父亲的声音里听到这句话。现在我听到了我自己的声音)”可知,作者在Mount Rushmore意识到他应该追求一个明确的人生目标。故选A。
16.推理判断题。根据最后一段的““We have got to take another trip like that sometime.” I tell him I’ve decided to settle down, and I’m wearing a watch.(“我们以后一定要再来一次这样的旅行。”我告诉他我决定安定下来了,我戴着手表)”可推知,作者和他父亲开始改变对生活的态度。故选A。
Passage 06
The world is full of cheap vacation spots. Here are my favorite cheap places to travel to help you plan your next affordable adventure:
Thailand
Thailand is incredible. It’s also super. affordable. With a tourist trail going back decades, Thailand is the heart of backpacking in Southeast Asia, and you can get by on between $30-35 per day thanks to cheap guesthouses, budget street food (which can be found for as little as $1 !), local buses, and the many cheap and free attractions. However, even at the price, Thailand is still one of the most bargain-friendly destinations in the world and should not be skipped!
Cambodia
It’s affordable and beautiful, and the locals are incredibly hospitable. You can get a private, air-conditioned room for $25, street food for S2-5 and transportation across the entire country for $20-25. If you are spending close to $50 per day, you are living large. Cambodia is cheaper than popular Thailand but just as beautiful and filled with some of the nicest people in the world. Plus, it’s home to the incredible Angkor Wat .
Portugal
It is a country with beautiful beaches, stunning seaside cliffs, delicious food, friendly locals, and historic cities all at bargain prices. Portugal has become a lot more popular and crowded in recent years and Lisbon has become especially expensive as people move there and drive up prices. It’s a great place after all! However, once you get outside of Lisbon, prices are still relatively cheap compared to the rest of Western Europe. Expect to get by on S45-60 per day if you’re a budget backpacker.
Georgia
Georgia has everything 1 need in a destination: it’s cheap, has delicious food and wine, offers incredible hikes and mountain scenery without huge numbers of tourists. You can get by on next to nothing here too, with budget travelers spending as little as $25 per day. Beer is around $2, a week’s worth of groceries costs around $25-30, and most museums and historic sites cost just $2-3.
17.Which country is the best choice, if you have a tight budget?
A.Thailand. B.Cambodia. C.Portugal. D.Georgia.
18.What can tourists do in Portugal according to the passage?
A.Climb up the stunning mountain cliff. B.Purchase the cheapest things in Lisbon.
C.Visit beautiful beaches and historic cities. D.Enjoy delicious street food and wine.
19.Where can the text be found?
A.In a history book. B.In a novel.

(在这里,你几乎什么也不用花,预算旅行者每天只花25美元。)”可知,如果预算紧张,Georgia花费最低,平均每天只需25美元,故选D项。
18.细节理解题。根据文章Portugal中的“It is a country with beautiful beaches, stunning seaside cliffs, delicious food, friendly locals, and historic cities all at bargain prices.( 这是一个拥有美丽海滩、迷人的海滨悬崖、美味佳肴、友好的当地人和历史名城的国家,价格低廉。)”可知游客在Portugal可以参观美丽的海滩和历史名城,故选C项。

Most Africans are poor, not because they are really poor, but because 40 decides to describe them as such.

My grandfather usually goes to pick up bananas for his dinner on his farm when he wants 43 . There are other fruits and all kinds of vegetables. 365 days a year, he raises tens of cows that 44 him with milk every day. He also has about 20 goats. In Uganda (乌干达), goat milk is generally not considered 45 , possibly due to too much cow milk that tastes good, so we never milk goats. He would 46 a couple of them to get enough money to send his children to school. He also kept a few chicks 47 a hobby.
His farm produces more than he can use. He sells some of them to buy something 48 for life. He has eleven children, and my mother was his first kid.

I try to bat away the huge insects, which 58 (fly) around my head in a black cloud for quite a while.
I pull off the headset and I’m back in my living room. Thank goodness! I 59 (give) the latest virtual reality headset and, for the last twenty minutes, I 60 (use) it to explore the Amazon.
