Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Antarctica Going to Antarctica, one of the remotest destinations on the planet, is not an easy (or affordable) endeavor. Perhaps the difficulty is part of the attraction—the seventh continent remains at the top of many travelers' wish lists. The striking white desert, with its dramatic, snowy peaks and vibrant turquoise water, as well as its exotic wildlife, including emperor penguins and Weddell seals, can truly offer a once­in­a­lifetime experience. Hawaii Hawaii is underrated. To be sure, it is a gorgeous place with breathtaking sunrise and sunset, and every beach is seemingly prettier than the next, but its beauty goes much deeper than its preternatural appearance. Extraordinary beaches—some even boast green and black sand (Papakōlea Beach and Punalu‘u Beach, respectively)—have their expected appeal, but visitors who take time to venture out away from the coast quickly discover Hawaii’s charms are everywhere. Canada Skiing, surfing, hiking and the Northern Lights, eclectic cuisine, world­class shopping, diverse and rich cultures—this is Canada. The 13 provinces and territories make up the world's second­largest country by the total area. It has something wonderful for every type of traveler. Nature lovers take solace in mountains, glaciers, waterfalls and the Atlantic or Pacific coastlines while sophisticated eaters nosh at Michelin­starred restaurants and hole­in­the­wall restaurants alike. Singapore Travelers don't want to spend any more time in an airport than they have to. But Singapore Changi Airport is not an ordinary airport. While the rest of the world was staying at home, Singaporean locals had paid to hang out at Changi Airport, whether it was co­working in one of the lounges or camping alongside the world's highest indoor waterfall, which opened in 2019. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了南极洲、夏威夷、加拿大和新加坡四个旅游目的地的特色。 1．Which place would you like to choose if you are an animal lover? A．Hawaii.　　　　　　　 B．Canada. C．Singapore. D．Antarctica. 解析　D　细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句中的“as well as its exotic wildlife, including emperor penguins and Weddell seals(以及它奇异的野生动物，包括帝企鹅和威德尔氏海豹。)”可知，如果你是一个动物爱好者，你会选择南极洲。故选D。 2．What is special about Canada from the text? A．It is the second most beautiful place in the world. B．It can almost satisfy all kinds of travelers. C．It has some extraordinary beaches. D．It attracts many locals. 解析　B　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It has something wonderful for every type of traveler.”可知，它为各种类型的旅行者提供美妙的东西。所以，加拿大的特别之处在于它几乎可以满足所有类型的旅行者，故选B。A项“它是世界上第二美丽的地方”与第三段中的“the world's second­largest country by the total area”不符；根据第二段中“Extraordinary beaches”可知，夏威夷有海滩，所以C项与题意不符；D项“它吸引了许多当地人”为Singapore Changi Airport的特点。 3．What can tourists do when they stay in Singapore Changi Airport? A．They can appreciate the world's highest indoor waterfall. B．They can experience Michelin­starred restaurants. C．They can decorate the lounges together. D．They can enjoy world­class shopping. 解析　A　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“or camping alongside the world's highest indoor waterfall”可知，游客在樟宜机场可以欣赏世界上最高的室内瀑布。故选A。根据第三段中的“Michelin­starred restaurants”和“world­class shopping”可知，B项“他们可以体验米其林星级餐厅”和D项“他们可以享受世界一流的购物”都是在加拿大可以做的事情；C项“他们可以一起装饰等候室”为从第四段中的“co­working in one of the lounges”主观臆断出来的内容。 B (2024·新课标Ⅱ卷)Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read？Yes，we all have our phones，but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed. Well，there's a kiosk (小亭) for that.In the San Francisco Bay Area，at least. “You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you'll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one­minute，a three­minute，or a five­minute story，”says Alicia Trost，the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit—known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt­like short story.” It's that simple.Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March.Some are classic short stories，and some are new original works. Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders.“We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest，”Trost says.“And as of right now，we've received about 120 submissions.The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.” Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century，so could short stories save transit? Trost thinks so. “At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience.So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories，”she says. And you'll never be without something to read. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了旧金山湾区捷运系统的首席通讯官艾丽西亚·特罗斯特根据车站乘客的需求启动阅读亭项目，以便改善乘客的体验。 4．Why did BART start the kiosk program? A．To promote the local culture. B．To discourage phone use. C．To meet passengers' needs. D．To reduce its running costs. 解析　C　推理判断题。题干中的 kiosk 在第二段“there's a kiosk for that”中首次出现，句中的“that”指代文章第一段中的“but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed”，即很多人仍然喜欢选择传统方式，读一些印刷的东西。所以为了满足乘客需求，BART启动了阅读亭项目，故选C。 5．How are the stories categorized in the kiosk? A．By popularity.　　 　 B．By length. C．By theme. D．By language. 解析　B　细节理解题　根据文章第三段中的“it tells you can get a one­minute，a three­minute，or a five­minute story”和“You choose which length you want”可知，你可以根据自己想要的长度选择1分钟、3分钟或者5分钟阅读时长的故事，即阅读亭里的故事是按长度分类的，故选B。 6．What has Trost been doing recently? A．Organizing a story contest. B．Doing a survey of customers. C．Choosing a print publisher. D．Conducting interviews with artists. 解析　A　细节理解题　根据文章第五段中的“we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest”和“as of right now，we've received about 120 submissions”可知，特罗斯特号召艺术家们提交故事参加比赛，并且目前为止收到了大约120份参赛作品，所以她是在组织故事比赛，故选A。 7．What is Trost's opinion about BART's future? A．It will close down. B．Its profits will decline. C．It will expand nationwide. D．Its ridership will increase. 解析　D　观点态度题。根据第七段内容“Trost thinks so.”和第八段中的“So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories”可知，特罗斯特完全相信他们会因为短故事收获更多乘客，故选D。 Ⅱ.完形填空 (2024·新课标Ⅱ卷)When I decided to buy a house in Europe ten years ago，I didn't think too long.I liked traveling in France，but when it came to picking my favorite spot to 1 ，Italy was the clear winner.
