地理概况 训练1 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Ⅰ 阅读理解 A Deep within the Yukon, one of the most densely wooded areas of Canada, sits a patch of land that is unlike any other forest on the planet. Instead of a canopy of treetops spreading across the horizon, tens of thousands of signposts perch haphazardly one on top of the other. They are all part of the Signpost Forest, the largest collection of signs from places around the world. At last count, the Signpost Forest in Watson Lake, located about 10 miles north of the US-Canadian border, contains 91,000 signs from spots near and far. The tradition began during the Alaska Highway Project in 1942, when US soldier Carl K. Lindley spent time in Watson Lake recovering from an injury. A commanding officer asked him to repair and erect the directional signposts, and while completing the job, the homesick soldier added a sign that indicated the direction and mileage to his hometown: “Danville, Illinois, 2,835 miles.” Others followed suit, and the trend caught on. Each year, an average of 1,000 new signs are being added to the collection. Lindley’s original sign has since been lost to time. Fifty years later, in 1992, Lindley and his wife Elinor made the pilgrimage back to Watson Lake to place a replica, which is still there.  The Signpost Forest takes up a couple of acres, with huge panels snaking through the trees. There are street signs, welcome signs, signatures on dinner plates, and licence plates from around the world. There are also a lot of familial signs, for example, a grandfather will put up a sign and then years later his family will come back and try to find it. A lot of these are personal signs to literally say that they are here. Though the visitor centre has wood and paints on hand to help create a sign, many people opt to bring their own signs, though illegally, by snatching a metal sign from their hometown and nailing it to one of the wood posts. The forest has grown so vast that the visitor centre no longer tries to keep a detailed list of the signs. (　)1.What does “The tradition” in the second paragraph refer to? A.Counting the number of signs in the Signpost Forest. B.Replacing the natural forest with signs of different kinds. C.Putting directional signposts on the highways of the Yukon. D.Bringing signs to the Signpost Forest from around the world. (　)2.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about the first sign in the Signpost Forest? A.It remained in the Forest until 1992. B.It was erected by an American soldier. C.It was first put on the Alaska Highway. D.It was brought from Lindley’s hometown. (　)3.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “replica” in the second paragraph? A.List. B.Trunk. C.Copy. D.Border. (　)4.What is the last paragraph mainly about? A.The origins and sizes of the signs in the Signpost Forest. B.The quantity and variety of the signs in the Signpost Forest. C.The difficulty of categorizing the signs in the Signpost Forest. D.The practice of nailing illegal signs to the posts in the Signpost Forest. B From picture-perfect beaches to mountains, wildlife and iconic structures, New South Wales, Australia, offers plenty to enjoy. This beautiful state is located on Australia’s breathtaking eastern coast. Sydney, the capital of New South Wales and Australia’s most populated city, accommodates more than 5 million people. No trip to Sydney would be complete without a visit to Australia’s most famous landmark, the Sydney Opera House. Its unique appearance was designed to resemble a ship’s sails and its historic importance is recognized by people all over the world. The Opera House welcomes more than 8 million visitors each year, making it the country’s most popular tourist spot. It is also one of the world’s busiest performing arts centres, featuring more than 2,000 performances annually. The Opera House is open 363 days a year, and admission is free. Tours are available throughout the day in seven different languages. For those who arrive hungry, Opera House restaurants offer everything from snacks to fine dining. “Stunning natural beauty” describes the Blue Mountains of New South Wales. This wilderness area, also on the World Heritage List, is a large, mountainous region that covers 1.03 million hectares. It is home to a vast number of Australia’s birds and other forms of wildlife. One of the most visited sites is the Three Sisters, named for its unique rock formations. Off the coast of New South Wales lies a remote island called Lord Howe Island. Created by a volcano, the island is surrounded by beautiful reefs. Two mountains tower over a bay with sandy, white beaches. Visitors can enjoy beach walks, mountain hikes, water activities (above and below the water), exceptional birdwatching and more. About 380 people live on it, and a maximum of 400 visitors can visit at one time. New South Wales offers its visitors an abundance of experiences to choose from and many memories that will last a lifetime. (　)5.How is the importance of Sydney Opera House expressed?

A.It’s highly recommended to bring your own food. B.Language probably won’t be a barrier during tours. C.The admission fee is acceptable for most people. D.It is open all year round on account of its popularity. (　)7.What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 5? A.New South Wales. B.Lord Howe Island. C.Blue Mountains. D.Three Sisters. (　)8.What is the most suitable title for the text? A.Unforgettable tour in the Opera House B.Charming places to visit in Sydney C.Unique geographical features of Australia D.Striking beauty of New South Wales Ⅱ 阅读七选五 My husband and I just spent a week in Paris. 1.　　　　 So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.  The place wasn’t entirely authentic,though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment,the plumbing(水管)worked. 2.　　　　Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, “Ouverture des portes,” in perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and it’s a shame I don’t have much use for it.  Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight. 3.　　　　French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavour bombs.  4.　　　　 On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!  In France,quality of life is much more important than efficiency(效率). You can tell this by café life. French cafés are always crowded. 5.　　　　 When do these people work? The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously—so seriously that some labour unions recently struck a deal with a group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.  A.Not all the customers are tourists. B.The quality of life in France is equally excellent. C.There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed. D.The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers. E.That’s not the only reason the French eat less than we do. F.Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians. G.The food is so delicious that you don’t need much of it to make you happy.

This was more than the usual excitement about end-of-year trips. And now, finally, after weeks of expectation, Hudson, Davion, Tasha, and their friends Trey and Justin were at Six Flags Great America, which was home to more roller coasters and games than any place north of Florida. They were waiting in line for the Twisted Twister—the scariest roller coaster. In front of them, the coaster rose threateningly out of the ground. From the very beginning, the Twisted Twister lived up to its name. The black coaster tracks corkscrewed almost immediately. Then, the riders in the yellow cars were given a moment to catch their breath as they were cranked (转动) slowly to the top of a hill. But the relief didn’t last long. As soon as the roller coaster cars were over the peak, the track twisted again, and again and again and again. Glancing at it, Hudson felt his stomach was too tight to say anything at all. The Twisted Twister was the scariest roller coaster he had ever seen,but he wasn’t about to mention his fear to his friends. That was because they would tell him that he was acting like a little kid, too scared to go on the park’s best ride. He felt dorky and awkward standing there. The sea of people between them and the Twisted Twister was steadily getting smaller. Hudson smiled weakly as his friends cheered when they counted just three rope barriers to go. Then two. Then one. And then they were at the stairs. Davion, Justin, and Trey were nearly jumping up and down with excitement. But Hudson could only hear people screaming, and he couldn’t even tell if the screams were because of delight or terror. And he knew, suddenly, that he could not make it. 注意:续写词数应为150个左右。 Paragraph 1: Without a word, Hudson turned, pushed past the crowd and ran out of the line.  Paragraph 2: Just then, he saw his other friends coming, big smiles on their faces.      答案 训练1 ⅠA 文章大意： 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了加拿大Yukon的路标森林。 1.D　推理判断题。根据第二段“The tradition began during the Alaska Highway Project in 1942, when US soldier Carl K. Lindley spent time…Others followed suit, and the trend caught on. Each year, an average of 1,000 new signs are being added to the collection.”可推知,the tradition是指人们开始将世界各地的标识带到路标森林。故选D项。 2.B　细节理解题。根据第二段中“The tradition began during the Alaska Highway Project in 1942, when US soldier Carl K. Lindley spent time in Watson Lake recovering from an injury. A commanding officer asked him to repair and erect the directional signposts, and while completing the job, the homesick soldier added a sign that indicated the direction and mileage to his hometown…”可知,路标森林中的第一个标志牌是一个美国士兵竖立起来的。故选B项。 3.C　词义猜测题。根据第二段中“Lindley’s original sign has since been lost to time. Fifty years later, in 1992, Lindley and his wife Elinor made the pilgrimage back to Watson Lake to place a replica, which is still there.”可知,Lindley最初的标志牌已经找不到了,50年后他故地重游,重新放了一个“复制品”,所以画线词与copy同义。故选C项。 4.B　段落大意题。根据最后一段中“The Signpost Forest takes up a couple of acres, with huge panels snaking through the trees. There are street signs, welcome signs, signatures on dinner plates, and licence plates from around the world. There are also a lot of familial signs…” (路标森林占地几英亩,巨大的嵌板蜿蜒穿过树木。这里有街道标志、欢迎标志、餐盘上的签名,还有来自世界各地的车牌。还有很多家族标志……)和“The forest has grown so vast that the visitor centre no longer tries to keep a detailed list of the signs.”(森林已经变得如此广阔,以至于游客中心不再试图保留一个详细的标志列表。)可推知,最后一段主要讲了路标森林中指示牌的数量和种类。故选B项。 B 文章大意： 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了澳大利亚的新南威尔士州,并介绍了位于此处的悉尼歌剧院的情况以及其他新南威尔士州的著名景点。 5.C　 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“Its unique appearance was designed to resemble a ship’s sails and its historic importance is recognized by people all over the world. The Opera House welcomes more than 8 million visitors each year, making it the country’s most popular tourist spot. It is also one of the world’s busiest performing arts centres, featuring more than 2,000 performances annually.”可推知,作者通过列举事实和数字来说明悉尼歌剧院的重要性。故选C。 6.B　 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Tours are available throughout the day in seven different languages.”可知,语言可能不会是游览歌剧院的障碍。故选B。 7.B　 代词指代题。根据文章倒数第二段中的“Off the coast of New South Wales lies a remote island called Lord Howe Island. Created by a volcano, the island is surrounded by beautiful reefs. Two mountains tower over a bay with sandy, white beaches. Visitors can enjoy beach walks, mountain hikes, water activities (above and below the water), exceptional birdwatching and more.”以及画线词上文“About 380 people live on…”可知,有大约380人住在岛上,故it指的是Lord Howe Island。故选B。 8.D　 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段并结合全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了澳大利亚的新南威尔士州,并介绍了位于此处的悉尼歌剧院的情况以及新南威尔士州的其他著名的景点。因此,D选项“新南威尔士州引人注目的美丽”最适合做文章的标题。故选D。 Ⅱ文章大意： 本文是一篇记叙文,主要介绍了作者和丈夫在巴黎一周的生活经历。 1.F　上文“My husband and I just spent a week in Paris.”介绍了故事发生的背景,下文“So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard.”是结果,由此可知,空格处应介绍作者和丈夫去巴黎居住的原因,选项F符合语境。 2.C　根据上文“Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing (水管) worked.”和下文的“Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, ‘Ouverture des portes,’ in perfect French.”可知,空处应介绍住所的设施。 3.G　根据下文“French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavour bombs.”可知,法国的草莓尝起来不像硬纸板,相反,它们会在你的嘴里“爆炸”,就像一个个小的风味炸弹。由此可知,空处应是说法国的食物十分美味,不需要太多就能让你开心。 4.E　结合上文“As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight.”可知,他们吃得很好,而且从不长胖。再根据后文提到作者花了18美元买了一把熟透了的小草莓和一个小甜瓜可推知,价格高是巴黎人吃得少的另外一个原因。由此可知,选项E符合语境。 5.A　根据上文“French cafés are always crowded.”并结合后文“When do these people work?”可知,此处重点介绍了法国咖啡馆的顾客来源,选项A承上启下,符合语境。 ⅢOne possible version: Dear Tim,  A newly-built theme park will be open to the public next month. I guess you are interested in it, so I’m writing to offer you some information about it. The theme of the park is famous architecture around the world, which includes the Great Wall, Eiffel Tower, Pyramids and so on. Although they are small in size, it offers precious chances to those who are curious to have a good knowledge of them and who are not able to pay a visit to them in person. I definitely believe paying a visit to it will broaden our horizons.

I get so scared before shows that I can’t eat for about two hours (that引导结果状语从句) before going on stage.” Shocked to hear those words(形容词短语作状语), Hudson stood still without any words. It suddenly hit him that (it作形式主语,that引导真正的主语从句)what mattered most was to have fun with his friends(what引导主语从句). Just then, he saw his other friends coming, big smiles on their faces. “Are you ready to try with us?” Davion said. Seeing their grins and encouraging eyes(现在分词短语作状语), Hudson nodded his head. The moment they got to the stairs(the moment引导时间状语从句), his stomach started to clench again, but he tried to take each step forward. Finally, he got in the car. WHOOSH! Almost without warning, the ride started. It felt like he’d left his heart on the loading platform. He was flying and he heard himself scream as delight spilled out of him(as引导时间状语从句). Later when they got out, they took a picture by the ride’s sign. It served as a reminder of what was more important to him than fear(what引导宾语从句). 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
