B
On a hill 600 feet above the surrounding land, we watch the lines of rain move across the scene, the moon rise over the hills, and the stars appear in the sky. The views invite a long look from a comfortable chair in front of the wooden house.
Every window in our wooden house has a view, and the forest and lakes seldom look the same as the hour before. Each look reminds us where we are.
There is space for our three boys to play outside, to shoot arrows, collect tree seeds, build earth houses and climb trees.
Our kids have learned the names of the trees, and with the names have come familiarity and appreciation. As they tell all who show even a passing interest, maple(枫树)makes the best fighting sticks and white pines are the best climbing trees.
The air is clean and fresh. The water from the well has a pleasant taste, and it is perhaps the healthiest water our kids will ever drink. Though they have one glass a day of juice and the rest is water, they never say anything against that.
The seasons change just outside the door. We watch the maples turn every shade of yellow and red in the fall and note the poplars'(杨树)putting out the first green leaves of spring. The rainbow smelt fills the local steam as the ice gradually disappears, and the wood frogs start to sing in pools after being frozen for the winter. A family of birds rules our skies and flies over the lake.

Ⅱ.七选五
(2024·新课标Ⅰ卷)Not all great writers are great spellers.If you want to be published,it's vital to submit a perfect,professionally presented manuscript(原稿). 1 No editor is likely to tolerate a writer who does not take the trouble to spell words correctly.
I keep two reference books closeby on my desk:dictionary and thesaurus(同义词词典).I don't trust my laptop's spellchecker. 2 Of course,these days there are plenty of online dictionaries and thesauruses,but I'm oldfashioned enough to prefer a hard cover and pages I can leaf through with my fingers.I use the Concise Oxford Dictionary and the Collins Thesaurus.
3 It should give you a precise definition of each word,thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar,but not identical.It will also usually show how the word is pronounced.
In addition,I have an old twovolume copy of the Shorter Oxford Dictionary,picked up a few years ago in a bookshop sale for just 99 pence.Of course,with its 2,672 pages,it's not exactly short.It contains around 163,000 words,plus word combinations and idiomatic phrases. 4 However,if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage,there's nothing better.
For well over a hundred years the most influential English dictionary was Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language published in 1755.“To make dictionaries is dull(乏味)work,”wrote Johnson,illustrating one definition of“dull”. 5 A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience.
A.I don't often use this dictionary.
B.It takes no account of the context.
C.But I still don't want to replace them.
D.But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read.
E.Of course,a dictionary is not only for spelling.
F.That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes.
G.Dictionaries don't always give you enough information.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了作者对于写作中拼写和词典使用的看法及自身的相关习惯等。
1.解析 F 根据上文中的“If you want to be published,it's vital to submit a perfect,professionally presented manuscript.(如果你想发表作品,提交一份完美的、专业呈现的手稿是至关重要的。)”可知,此处会讲到完美的、专业呈现的手稿是什么样子的,选项F“那意味着语法不错并且没有拼写错误”符合语境。所以选F。
2.解析 B 根据上文中的“I don't trust my laptop's spellchecker.(我不信任我笔记本电脑的拼写检查程序。)”可知,此处会讲到不信任的原因,选项B“它不考虑上下文”符合语境。所以选B。
3.解析 E 段落主旨句。根据下文中的“It should give you a precise definition of each word...how the word is pronounced.(它应该为你提供每个单词的精确定义,从而区分它与其他含义相似但不完全相同的单词。它通常还会显示单词是如何发音的。)”可知,该段主要讲述了词典不仅仅提供单词的拼写,还有其他功能。所以选E。
4.解析 A 根据下文中的“However,if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage,there's nothing better(但是,如果我需要核实某个单词的起源或查找其用法示例,就没有比这更好的了。)”可知,此处应该讲述作者不怎么使用这本词典。所以选A。
5.解析 D 根据下文中的“A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience.(花几分钟粗略浏览一两页内容可以是一种令人满意的体验。)”可知,选项D“但是,词典也可以是一种令人愉悦的读物”可以与之构成逻辑上的顺承关系。所以选D。
