主题语境提分练四
Ⅰ.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者回忆了自己最后一次使用电话亭的经历,并发现家附近最后一个电话亭被改造成了“迷你社区图书馆”,这为社区提供了新的价值,作者也开始使用这个“图书馆”。
1.B [代词指代题。根据第一段中的“I was conducting...tiny old shared house in London.”和“I spread some throws...seem a bit more‘young professional’”可推断出,作者是在合租房里安排试演,为了给一些有才华的演员留下深刻印象而将合租房布置了一番,故选B项。]
2.A [推理判断题。根据题干信息将答案定位在第一、二段。第二段提到作者被锁在了门外,但是幸运的是“there was a telephone box across the street”,因此作者通过打电话拿到了备用钥匙,才得以及时赶回家。由此可推断出,在2006年作者使用电话亭是为了拨打紧急电话,故选A项。]
3.B [细节理解题。根据题干中的“mini community library”将答案锁定在第三段。由该段中的“a‘mini community library’:any passer⁃by can... or replace it with another title from their own collection”可知,任何路过的人都能用自己的另一本藏书来替换其中的一本书,也就是说任何人都可以为这个图书馆捐赠图书,故选B项。]
4.C [细节理解题。根据第四段可知,作者一开始认为这个“迷你图书馆”里都是一些庸俗的爱情故事书,但后来却注意到那里有各种主题的大部头书,而且这些书都是免费的。并且发现了一些很棒的书。由此可知,作者因为发现那里有免费的好书,才转变之前的想法,开始使用这个“迷你图书馆”。故选C项。]
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了有纸化学习与无纸化学习的区别,并提出用纸质书籍更容易让人投入、专心学习,而电子书籍更容易使人分心,故阅读印刷品比阅读电子书籍更有效。
5.D [词义猜测题。本段第一句谈到当阅读几百字或更多字的文本时,有纸化学习通常比在屏幕上学习更成功,接着谈到大量的研究证实了这一发现。故画线短语所在部分应该是指从提出简单的任务转向需要抽象思维的任务时,这种有纸化阅读的好处尤其明显,也就是说很容易被注意到,答案为D。]
6.A [推理判断题。根据第四段中的“which are often not so serious”以及“devote less mental effort”可知,在对待电子文本的时候,读者比阅读纸质文本时投入的精力要少,即读者对电子文本不是很重视,答案为A。]
7.A [细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“Audio (音频) and video can feel more...the same person.”可知,音频和视频比文字更吸引人,所以大学教师越来越多地改用这些技术,故选A。]
8.C [推理判断题。最后一段首先谈到电子文本、音频和视频都具有教育作用,特别是在提供纸质文本无法提供的资源时。“However”后提到为了在需要集中注意力和反思的地方最大限度地学习,教育者不应该假设所有媒体都是一样的,即使它们包含相同的词汇。这与倒数第二段最后一句中的信息意思一致:当成年人阅读新闻故事时,他们比听或看相同的片段能记住更多内容,也就是说有纸化学习在教育中是不能完全被取代的,答案为C。]
Ⅱ.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者选择在意大利定居的故事。意大利人的热情友好让作者找到了家的感觉。作为一个美食爱好者,意大利丰富多样的美食也能让作者忘却生活中其他的不便。
1.D [根据上文中的“I decided to buy a house in Europe”和“I liked traveling in France”可知,作者喜欢在法国旅行,但是,如果要挑最喜欢的定居的地方的话,意大利无疑会胜出。下文中的“I made Italy my permanent home”也是提示。rent“租用,租借(房屋、土地、机器等),出租”;settle“定居,安家,解决”。]
2.B [根据下文中的“But every time I tried...That encouragement helped me to get through the language .”可知,作者克服了语言方面的障碍,由此可见,作者第一次去意大利旅行的时候,问路或点餐都很费力。plan to do sth“计划做某事”;struggle to do sth“艰难地做某事,努力做某事”;refuse to do sth“拒绝做某事”;happen to do sth“碰巧做某事”。]
3.A [上文讲到了作者问路或点餐很费力,再结合空后的“together”可知,作者努力把句子串起来。string“把……连在一起”。]
4.D [根据空前的“the locals smiled at me”和下文中的“That encouragement”可知,意大利当地人会冲作者微笑并表扬作者的语言技能。improve“提升,提高”;assess“评价,评定,估价,估计”;admire“钦佩,仰慕,欣赏”;praise“表扬,赞扬,称赞”。]
5.B [根据上文中的“I to ask for directions or order in a restaurant...I tried to a sentence of Italian together”可知,作者在语言方面有障碍,而当地人的鼓励则帮助作者克服了这一语言障碍。course“课程,过程,一道菜”;barrier“障碍,阻力,障碍物”。]
6.C [根据下文中的“Neighbors will bring me freshly made cheese and will come to my door...when rain is coming.”可知,邻居们非常热心肠。open⁃minded“思想开明的”;strong⁃willed“意志坚定的,坚持己见的”;warm⁃hearted“热心肠的,友好的,富有同情心的”;well⁃informed“见多识广的,知识渊博的”。]
7.A [根据空后的“when rain is coming”可知,邻居们会在快要下雨的时候提醒作者关车窗。remind“提醒,使想起”;allow“允许”;persuade“劝说,说服”;order“命令”。]
8.C [此处是对上文中的“bring me freshly made cheese and will come to my door to me to close the window in my car”的总结。结合常识可知,这些都是善意的举动。trick“花招,窍门,戏法,把戏”;promise“承诺,许诺”;act“行为,行动,法案”;duty “责任,义务”。]
9.C [根据空前的“As a foodie,the way to my heart is through my stomach”可知,作者喜欢意大利的另一个原因是作者是一个美食爱好者,而意大利的美食能够满足作者的胃口。且下文中的“every family keeps a recipe...big meals”也可以印证这一点。ambition“追求的目标,抱负,雄心,野心”;success“成功”;appetite“食欲,胃口”;growth“成长”。]
10.B [根据空后的“every family keeps a recipe passed from one generation to another”可知,每个小镇都有自己传统的菜肴,家家户户都有祖传的食谱。costume“服装,装束,戏服”;dish“一道菜,菜肴”;symbol“象征,符号”;tale“故事,传说”。]
11.A [根据下文中的“a big meal with friends and family”可知,家人会在星期天、生日以及其他时刻聚在一起享用大餐。gather“聚集,集合”;cheer“欢呼,喝彩,鼓励”。]
12.C [此处强调人们会在多种时刻聚在一起享用美食。除了星期天、生日之外,人们还会想出各种“借口”来聚餐。put up with“忍受,容忍”;stand up for“支持,捍卫,为……辩护”;come up with“想出,提出”;make up for“弥补,补偿,抵消”。]
13.D [根据上文中讲到的人们对聚餐的痴迷可以看出聚餐的氛围肯定很棒。据此可知,这些聚餐总是伴着欢声笑语。signal“发信号,示意,标志,预示”;confirm“确定,确认,证实,证明,批准”;represent“代表”;accompany“陪同,陪伴,伴随,与……同时发生”。]
14.A [此处呼应空后的“the problems”,指的是人们在生活中遇到的障碍。disadvantage“不利因素,障碍,不便之处”;meaning“意义”;surprise“惊喜,惊讶”;opportunity“机会”。]
15.B [根据上文中的“These meals are always by laughter and joy.”可知,没有什么烦恼是吃一顿饭解决不了的,也就是说,人们一旦坐下和家人朋友享用美食,所有烦恼或问题都能被遗忘。create “创造”;forget“忘记”;understand“理解”;identify“认出,识别,查明,确认,发现”。]
Ⅲ.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国“丝路花园”的整体设计以及其中新建成的玻璃温室。
1.engineering [考查词形转换。空处作定语修饰空后的名词techniques,engineering在此处是名词作定语,engineering techniques意为“工程技术”。]
2.functional [考查词性转换。空处与protective并列,修饰空后的名词structure,应用形容词形式,故填functional“实用的”。句意:最新的工程技术被应用于创建这种兼具保护性和功能性且还美观的结构。]
3.to give [考查非谓语动词。空处所在句的谓语动词是open,空处应用非谓语动词。根据语境可知此处表示目的,故填不定式to give。句意:在温暖的日子里,这些萼片会打开以给内部植物(提供)阳光和新鲜空气。]
4.closed [考查词性转换。空前的stays作系动词,表示“保持”,空处作表语,表示“关闭的”,故应用形容词closed。]
5.walks [考查时态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,空处在句中作谓语。本句描述了the Silk Route Garden的客观情况,时态用一般现在时;此处时态也可以根据下文中的“contains...guides...offers”判断;主语为第三人称单数。walk在此作动词,walk sb through...意为“带领某人穿过……”,所以填walks。]
6.the [考查冠词。此处考查固定表达for the first time,意为“第一次”,所以填the。]
7.favourites [考查名词的数。分析句子结构可知,空处作动词included的宾语,前面的modern Western为定语,所以此处应填名词;根据空后的举例“such as rosemary,lavender and fennel”可知,空处表示复数概念。故填favourites。favourite在此处为可数名词,表示“特别喜爱的事物”。]
8.as [考查介词。结合语境“该玻璃温室作为当代设计的伟大成就而存在”可知,空处需要填as。]
9.that/which [考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,先行词为表示物的名词短语the Silk Route,关系词在从句中作主语,所以填that/which。]
10.richness [考查词性转换。空处跟在定冠词the之后,且空后的of gardening对空处进行限定,因此应填名词richness。]

主题语境提分练四 人与自我之个人、家庭、社区及学校生活(四)
分值:50分
Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共20分)
(2024·浙江1月卷)
When was the last time you used a telephone box? I mean to make an actual phone call—not to shelter from the rain.Ages ago, right? The last time I used a phone box for its intended purpose was...2006. I was conducting auditions(试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London.Hoping to impress some talented actors to come and work for me for nothing, I spread some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it seem a bit more “young professional”.
As I rushed outdoors to empty the wastepaper baskets, the door swung shut behind me.Suddenly I was locked outside.My mobile phone was inside, but luckily there was a telephone box across the street.So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady's managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get back in before the actors arrived.
As it has been many years since I last used one, I should hardly be surprised that there are no longer any public telephones near my house.The last one standing has just been turned into a “mini community library”: any passer-by can “borrow”a book from its shelves, and return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection.
For a few months after the “library” opened, I didn't bother taking a look, as I had assumed that it would be stuffed full of cheesy love stories.Then I noticed folk conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there.And these books were free.This unbeatable price point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying.And I've discovered some great books!
If I ever get trapped outside my house again, my local telephone box will, sadly, no longer be able to connect me with my keys.But it can certainly keep me entertained while I wait for my wife to rescue me.
1.What does the word “it” underlined in the first paragraph refer to?
The play. The shared house.
The sofa. The telephone box.
2.Why did the author use the telephone box in 2006?
To place an urgent call. To put up a notice.
To shelter from the rain. To hold an audition.
3.What do we know about the “mini community library”?
It provides phone service for free. Anyone can contribute to its collection.
It is popular among young readers. Books must be returned within a month.
4.Why did the author start to use the “library”?
He wanted to borrow some love stories. He was encouraged by a close neighbour.
He found there were excellent free books. He thought it was an ideal place for reading.
(2024·新课标Ⅰ卷)
Is comprehension the same whether a person reads a text onscreen or on paper? And are listening to and viewing content as effective as reading the written word when covering the same material? The answers to both questions are often “no”. The reasons relate to a variety of factors, including reduced concentration, an entertainment mindset (心态) and a tendency to multitask while consuming digital content.
When reading texts of several hundred words or more, learning is generally more successful when it's on paper than onscreen.A large amount of research confirms this finding.The benefits of print reading particularly shine through when experimenters move from posing simple tasks—like identifying the main idea in a reading passage—to ones that require mental abstraction—such as drawing inferences from a text.
The differences between print and digital reading results are partly related to paper's physical properties.With paper, there is a literal laying on of hands, along with the visual geography of distinct pages.People often link their memory of what they've read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the page.
But equally important is the mental aspect.Reading researchers have proposed a theory called “shallowing hypothesis (假说)”.According to this theory, people approach digital texts with a mindset suited to social media, which are often not so serious, and devote less mental effort than when they are reading print.
Audio (音频) and video can feel more engaging than text, and so university teachers increasingly turn to these technologies—say, assigning an online talk instead of an article by the same person.However, psychologists have demonstrated that when adults read news stories, they remember more of the content than if they listen to or view identical pieces.
Digital texts, audio and video all have educational roles, especially when providing resources not available in print.However, for maximizing learning where mental focus and reflection are called for, educators shouldn't assume all media are the same, even when they contain identical words.
5.What does the underlined phrase “shine through” in paragraph 2 mean?
Seem unlikely to last. Seem hard to explain.
Become ready to use. Become easy to notice.
6.What does the shallowing hypothesis assume?
Readers treat digital texts lightly. Digital texts are simpler to understand.
People select digital texts randomly. Digital texts are suitable for social media.
7.Why are audio and video increasingly used by university teachers?
They can hold students' attention. They are more convenient to prepare.
They help develop advanced skills. They are more informative than text.
8.What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
Students should apply multiple learning techniques.
Teachers should produce their own teaching material.
Print texts cannot be entirely replaced in education.
Education outside the classroom cannot be ignored.
