VI. 阅读理解[2024·豫湘名校高二联考] | 体裁 | 记叙文 | 题材 | 多伦多之旅 | 词数 | 319 | 难度 | 中等 | 建议用时 | 7分钟 | In 1979, Debra Dolan was 21 and on her first solo trip to Vancouver. She was immediately blown away by the city’s beauty. Dolan wanted to keep the joy she felt but she didn’t have time to write in her journal and she had no camera, so she sent her first postcard to herself after she went there. Some 10 days later, Dolan returned home to a pile of postcards from herself. Receiving them, recalls Dolan, was a great joy. She already sensed the postcards would serve as time capsules of a place and a moment. The trip to Vancouver awakened Dolan’s love of travel. She decided exploring the world was her first priority and went travelling for almost three years. On these adventures in the early 1980s, Dolan kept travel journals, but she also continued her habit of sending postcards to herself. Over 40 years later, Dolan is still a greedy traveller and keen postcard writer. Over the decades, she’s sent hundreds of postcards to herself from trips across the world. Amazingly, they’ve all arrived though sometimes over a year delayed. Dolan’s always enjoyed the process of choosing the postcards as much as she enjoys writing and receiving them. She explains she’s deliberate and considered with her postcard picks. Dolan’s noticed that postcards have a tendency to draw an imagined ideal of a destination, rather than its reality. That’s one of the reasons why Dolan sometimes chooses introduction cards. Sometimes Dolan will have a predetermined idea of what she wants her chosen postcard to look like, and will hunt around the destination until she finds the perfect realization of her vision. Other times, Dolan comes across the postcards when she least expects it. Today, Dolan is 64 and lives in Vancouver, the city which first awakened her love of travel. She spent her career working in administration, always saving up for her next adventure. 1. What can we learn about Dolan’s postcards? A. The first postcard was sent from Vancouver. B. Dolan has sent herself just a few postcards. C. Many of Dolan’s postcards were lost in the mail. D. Dolan’s postcards took the place of travel journals. 2. What might Dolan think of when she goes through the postcards? A. Fond memories of her travels. B. The meaning of travelling alone. C. Known content for her eyes only. D. The pressure to explore the world. 3. What is Dolan’s attitude to travel? A. Abnormal. B. Conservative. C. Enthusiastic. D. Dissatisfactory. 4. What is the best title for the text? A. The Beauty on Postcards B. A Great Collection of Postcards C. A Hobby of Collecting Postcards D. A Traveller Sending Herself Postcards 核心词汇 1. blow away 使大为吃惊 2. vision n. 思索,想象 3. come across 偶然发现 (遇见) 熟词生义 sense 热义: n. 感官;感觉;意义 生义: v. 察觉到 派生词汇 1. greedy adj. 贪婪的 2. predetermined adj. 预先决定的 VII. 七选五[2025·辽宁沈阳第二中学月考] | 体裁 说明文 | 题材 家庭旅行 | 词数 327 | 难度 中等 | 建议用时 7分钟 | With travel on the rise, more families are planning to take their home life on the road, whether it’s for a weekend or a longer trip. Travelling with kids can be stressful—with all those suitcases and cries of “Are we there yet?” 1.______ Involving young children in planning a trip might sound silly, but it’s far more valuable than it seems: “You shouldn’t expect a 4-year-old to spend eight hours in museums,” says Waldon, a family travel expert. “It’s really smart for parents to think like their kid and realize, ‘2. ______.’” That attitude helps parents avoid terrible situations that may ruin the day. 3. ______ If a little one is into dinosaurs, perhaps you’ll want to check out a city’s Natural History Museum. If they love animals, maybe there’s a way to include a visit to a farm or an aquarium (水族馆). One of Waldon’s favourite ways to get younger kids excited about a trip is reading. “Books are perfect for little armchair travellers,” she says. “4. ______.” Before a recent trip to Puerto Rico, Waldon read her kids a book about a frog native to the island. Afterwards, her daughters got really excited to hear this little frog singing at night. People often think the trip is going to be one Instagram worthy moment after another, but that never happens. 5. ______ When kids are involved, they can become invested in getting through those problems. They also learn to work things out together as a family. A. Most children really enjoy challenges. B. Actually, no family trip goes without problems. C. However, it can also be a highly rewarding activity. D. That way, we’re getting more of that local experience. E. This is a 30-minute max type opportunity for my child. F. They get the kids curious about the trip before leaving home. G. Parents can also play into their kids’ interests when planning a trip. 核心词汇 1. be into 喜欢 2.
