Part 3 Reading and Writing
(第三部分 阅读与写作)
Ⅵ. Reading Comprehension (阅读理解)(共50分)
A. Choose the best answer (根据以下内容,选择最恰当的答案)(12分)
Tourism probably started in Roman times. Rich Romans visited friends and family who were working in another part of the Roman Empire (帝国). But when the empire broke down, this kind of tourism stopped.
In the early 17th century, the idea of the “Grand Tour” was born. Rich young English people sailed across the English Channel. They visited the most beautiful and important European cities of the time, including Paris in France, and Rome and Venice in Italy. Their tours lasted for two to four years, and the tourists stayed a few weeks or months in each city. The “Grand Tour” was an important part of young people’s education—but only for the rich.
In the 18th century, tourism began to change. For example, people in the UK started to visit some towns, such as Bath to “take the waters”. They believed that the water there was good for their health. So large and expensive hotels were built in these towns.
In the 19th century, travel became much more popular and faster. When the first railways were built in the 1820s, it was easier for people to travel between towns, so they started to go for holidays by the sea. And some started to have holidays in the countryside as cities became larger, noisier and dirtier.
Traveling by sea also became faster and safer when the first steamships were built. People began to travel more to faraway countries. The 20th century saw cars become more and more popular among ordinary people. Planes were made larger, so ticket prices dropped and more people used them.
Thus, tourism grew. In 1949, Russian journalist Vladimir Raitz started a company called Horizon Holidays. The company organizes everything—plane tickets, hotel rooms, even food—and tourists pay for it all before they leave home. The package tour and modern tourist industry were born and began to take off.
39. When tourism first started in Roman times, people ________.
A. just visited the countryside
B. visited the most beautiful and important European cities of the time
C stayed in friends’ towns for weeks or even months
D. just visited friends and families within the Roman Empire
40. In the early times, the travelers ________.
A. all came from Rome B. were very young and strong
C. had lots of money D. travelled by boat
41. ________ played the most important role in the tourism development.
A. Education B. Money C. Transportation D. People’s ideas
42. Package tour was born ________.
A. in the 20th century B. in Roman times
C. in the early 17th century D. in the 19th century
43. A journalist Vladimir Raitz from ________ started a company called Horizon Holidays in 1949.
A. Britain B. France C. Italy D. Russia
44. The underlined phrase “take off” means ________.
A. a plane rising into the air B. develop very fast
C. remove hats and clothes D. bring down the prices
B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage.(选择单词或短语完成短文)(12分)

Brainstorming
Brainstorming is a way to come up with new and smart ideas to solve difficult problems. It i____51____ bringing together people with different views and backgrounds to share their ideas freely and build on ideas. Here are some key points to keep in mind when carrying out a brainstorming activity.
First, the group should have a c____52____ goal for the brainstorming activity. This will help guide the discussion and make sure that all ideas created are c____53____ connected to the topic at hand. All members should be encouraged to share their thoughts and ideas freely.
When looking at the q____54____ of ideas from a brainstorming activity, group members had better consider how many there are and what they are about. While a large number of ideas can be beneficial, it is more important to focus on how well they fit with the group’s shared goal.

Besides, it’s necessary to focus on coming up with new ideas, not going over old ones. Members should be encouraged to think c____56____ and outside the box, and to avoid getting stuck in the details.
The number of ideas is important too. While having many ideas doesn’t mean success by itself, it makes sure we think about all possible ideas. Everyone should try to think of as many ideas as they can, without w____57____ if they will work right away.
D. Answer the questions .(12分)
根据短文内容回答下列问题。
The day had been good, but school was tiring. I was lying on my sofa, mindlessly scrolling (滚屏) through social media, obsessed (痴迷) with someone else’s fancy life. Without even knowing it, I was comparing myself to others.
In fact, I’m not alone! Comparing is something we struggle with every day. Studies show that anytime a thought comes to our minds, there’s a 1-in-10 chance that we’re comparing ourselves to others. Social comparison theory states that people would judge their own social and personal worth by comparing themselves to others around them.
Comparison had been the thief of my joy for long until one day I realized that it is pointless (无意义的) to compare ourselves with others-we are comparing our weaknesses to someone’s strengths. I still remember several moments when I thought the worst of myself because I thought the best of someone else. For example, every time I saw Kayla performing well at her schoolwork, the first thing that popped into my mind was a wish that I could be as smart as her. I kept asking myself, “Why couldn’t I just be like her?” I practically praised Kayla while hating myself at the same time.
I decided to change. I started to focus on improving myself instead of comparing with others. I took up reading one book every month. I started new hobbies. This helped me to discover a new self.
I learned to appreciate (欣赏) what I had. Every day, I wrote down things I was happy about and chose to be around people who made me feel good. This made me value my life and see how special it is.
And I changed how I used social media. Instead of aimlessly scrolling, I customized (定制) my social media feeds (信息流) to include more educational and inspirational information. I felt happier and was less likely to compare myself to others.
In our lives, it’s important to ask ourselves a key question: are we tending (照料) to our own garden or are we only visitors, admiring the beautiful gardens of others while failing to care for our own? Try not to get lost in comparing yourself to others since everyone is different. Discover your gifts and let them shine!
58. Was the writer obsessed with others’ fancy life on social media?
_______________________________________________
59. How do people judge their social and personal worth according to social comparison theory?
_______________________________________________
60. Why does the writer think it is pointless to compare ourselves to others?
_______________________________________________
61. How many changes has the writer made?
_______________________________________________
62. What are the examples of focusing on improving yourself?
_______________________________________________
63. What do you think of the ways the writer took to avoid pointless comparison? Why? (Please give two reasons)
_______________________________________________
VII. Writing(作文)(共20分)
64. Write at least 60 words on the topic “It’s worth doing.” 请以“It’s worth doing”为题,写一篇不少于60词英语短文。
所谓:“心之所向,素履以往。但凡值得,万山无阻。”值得的,从来不是那个辉煌的结果,而是那个在此过程中变得愈发坚韧、豁达和成熟的自己。生命的丰厚,正是由这些“值得”的瞬间堆砌而成。请阐述你认为“值得”的一件事,并解释其原因。

考查不定代词辨析。neither 两者都不;both 两者都;any 任何一个(通常用于三个或以上);either 两者中的任何一个。根据“the two subways”可知是两者且句子表达肯定含义,但乘坐两条地铁不合逻辑,只能两者中选一个,故选D。

A volunteer B. to volunteer C. volunteering D. volunteers

考查副词及“as...as”结构用法。good好的;well好;better更好;best最好。空处修饰动词drew,用副词形式,且as...as结构中,中间用原级,因此空处填副词原级well。故选B。

考查条件句的时态用法。根据“all the students will go to the zoo.”可知是指明天不下雨,所有的学生都会去动物园。在if引导的条件状语从句中,当主句使用一般将来时(will go)时,从句需用一般现在时表示将来,不能用将来时。故选C。

A. Choose the best answer (根据以下内容,选择最恰当的答案)(12分)
Tourism probably started in Roman times. Rich Romans visited friends and family who were working in another part of the Roman Empire (帝国). But when the empire broke down, this kind of tourism stopped.
In the early 17th century, the idea of the “Grand Tour” was born. Rich young English people sailed across the English Channel. They visited the most beautiful and important European cities of the time, including Paris in France, and Rome and Venice in Italy. Their tours lasted for two to four years, and the tourists stayed a few weeks or months in each city. The “Grand Tour” was an important part of young people’s education—but only for the rich.
In the 18th century, tourism began to change. For example, people in the UK started to visit some towns, such as Bath to “take the waters”. They believed that the water there was good for their health. So large and expensive hotels were built in these towns.
In the 19th century, travel became much more popular and faster. When the first railways were built in the 1820s, it was easier for people to travel between towns, so they started to go for holidays by the sea. And some started to have holidays in the countryside as cities became larger, noisier and dirtier.
Traveling by sea also became faster and safer when the first steamships were built. People began to travel more to faraway countries. The 20th century saw cars become more and more popular among ordinary people. Planes were made larger, so ticket prices dropped and more people used them.
Thus, tourism grew. In 1949, Russian journalist Vladimir Raitz started a company called Horizon Holidays. The company organizes everything—plane tickets, hotel rooms, even food—and tourists pay for it all before they leave home. The package tour and modern tourist industry were born and began to take off.
39. When tourism first started in Roman times, people ________.
A. just visited the countryside
B. visited the most beautiful and important European cities of the time
C. stayed in friends’ towns for weeks or even months
D. just visited friends and families within the Roman Empire

42. Package tour was born ________.
A. in the 20th century B. in Roman times

43. A journalist Vladimir Raitz from ________ started a company called Horizon Holidays in 1949.
A. Britain B. France C. Italy D. Russia
44. The underlined phrase “take off” means ________.
A. a plane rising into the air B. develop very fast

D. Answer the questions .(12分)
根据短文内容回答下列问题。
The day had been good, but school was tiring. I was lying on my sofa, mindlessly scrolling (滚屏) through social media, obsessed (痴迷) with someone else’s fancy life. Without even knowing it, I was comparing myself to others.
In fact, I’m not alone! Comparing is something we struggle with every day. Studies show that anytime a thought comes to our minds, there’s a 1-in-10 chance that we’re comparing ourselves to others. Social comparison theory states that people would judge their own social and personal worth by comparing themselves to others around them.
Comparison had been the thief of my joy for long until one day I realized that it is pointless (无意义的) to compare ourselves with others-we are comparing our weaknesses to someone’s strengths. I still remember several moments when I thought the worst of myself because I thought the best of someone else. For example, every time I saw Kayla performing well at her schoolwork, the first thing that popped into my mind was a wish that I could be as smart as her. I kept asking myself, “Why couldn’t I just be like her?” I practically praised Kayla while hating myself at the same time.
I decided to change. I started to focus on improving myself instead of comparing with others. I took up reading one book every month. I started new hobbies. This helped me to discover a new self.
I learned to appreciate (欣赏) what I had. Every day, I wrote down things I was happy about and chose to be around people who made me feel good. This made me value my life and see how special it is.
And I changed how I used social media. Instead of aimlessly scrolling, I customized (定制) my social media feeds (信息流) to include more educational and inspirational information. I felt happier and was less likely to compare myself to others.
In our lives, it’s important to ask ourselves a key question: are we tending (照料) to our own garden or are we only visitors, admiring the beautiful gardens of others while failing to care for our own? Try not to get lost in comparing yourself to others since everyone is different. Discover your gifts and let them shine!
58. Was the writer obsessed with others’ fancy life on social media?
_______________________________________________
59. How do people judge their social and personal worth according to social comparison theory?
_______________________________________________
60. Why does the writer think it is pointless to compare ourselves to others?
_______________________________________________
61. How many changes has the writer made?
_______________________________________________
62. What are the examples of focusing on improving yourself?
_______________________________________________
63. What do you think of the ways the writer took to avoid pointless comparison? Why? (Please give two reasons)
_______________________________________________
【答案】58. Yes.
59. By comparing themselves to others around them.
60. Because we often compare our weaknesses to someone else’s strengths.
61. The writer has made three changes.
62. The writer took up reading one book every month and started new hobbies to discover a new self.
63. I think the writer’s view is quite correct. Because comparing yourself to others makes you feel bad. Besides, it can mask your own talent.
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了作者通过自身经历,意识到与他人比较会带来无意义的痛苦,并分享了如何通过专注于自我提升、感恩和调整社交媒体使用习惯来克服这种心理,最终实现个人成长的过程。
【58题详解】
根据“I was lying on my sofa, mindlessly scrolling (滚屏) through social media, obsessed (痴迷) with someone else’s fancy life.”可知,作者躺在沙发上,无意识地浏览社交媒体,痴迷于别人的美好生活。故填Yes.
【59题详解】
根据“Social comparison theory states that people would judge their own social and personal worth by comparing themselves to others around them.”可知,社会比较理论认为,人们会通过与周围的人进行比较来判断自己的社会和个人价值。故填By comparing themselves to others around them.
【60题详解】
根据“it is pointless (无意义的) to compare ourselves with others-we are comparing our weaknesses to someone’s strengths.”可知,自己和别人比较是没有意义的因为我们是在把自己的弱点和别人的长处进行比较。故填Because we often compare our weaknesses to someone else’s strengths.
【61题详解】
根据“I started to focus on improving myself instead of comparing with others.”“I learned to appreciate (欣赏) what I had.”及“And I changed how I used social media.”可知,作者做出了三点改变。故填The writer has made three changes.
【62题详解】
根据“I started to focus on improving myself instead of comparing with others. I took up reading one book every month. I started new hobbies. This helped me to discover a new self.”可知,我开始专注于提高自己,而不是与他人比较,我开始每月读一本书,我开始了新的爱好,这帮助我发现了新的自我。故填The writer took up reading one book every month and started new hobbies to discover a new self.
【63题详解】
开放性试题,答案不唯一,合理即可。参考答案为I think the writer’s view is quite correct. Because comparing yourself to others makes you feel bad. Besides, it can mask your own talent.

【答案】
例文
It’s worth doing
Last semester, I participated in the school English speech contest, which was a tough task at first. I felt extremely nervous when practicing, and my pronunciation was not accurate at all. Though I almost gave up several times, I persevered: I practiced speaking in front of the mirror every evening and turned to my teacher for guidance.
Eventually, I didn’t get the top award, but I became much more confident when communicating publicly. This experience is truly worth doing. It’s not the result but the process that made me more resilient—those efforts have enriched my courage to face challenges bravely later.
