Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2024·九省联考) Yellowstone Poster Exhibition to Be on View at UW's Coe Library A first­of­its­kind exhibition that focuses on the history of Yellowstone National Park posters will be on display at the University of Wyoming's Coe Library beginning Tuesday, February 1. “Wonderland Illustrated” will present posters and poster­style illustrations of the park spanning from the 1870s through 2022. The exhibition will be located on Level 3 of Coe Library. It will be on view through Tuesday, May 31. The exhibition takes place at the same time as this year's 150th anniversary of the creation of Yellowstone National Park. The posters in the exhibition serve the purpose of both advertising and art. “We're thrilled to be working with Yellowstone collectors Jack and Susan Davis, and Larry and Thea Lancaster to bring this exhibition to the University of Wyoming as part of year­long celebrations recognizing Yellowstone's 150th anniversary，” says Tamsen Hert, head of UW Libraries' Emmett D. Chisum Special Collections. “This exhibition involves the history of printing, art, photography and advertising over 16 decades. The images reproduced are found on travel brochures, postcards and maps—many of which are held in our collections.” One poster from the exhibition—Henry Wellge's “Yellowstone National Park” from 1904—was recently purchased with donated funds and is now part of UW Libraries' Emmett D. Chisum Special Collections. Wellge, a productive bird's­eye­view artist, designed the piece for the Northern Pacific Railroad, which used it to advertise the park. This is a unique piece, as posters such as this one were printed on soft paper and very few have survived. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了黄石海报展览的时间安排以及特色等信息。 1．How long will the exhibition “Wonderland Illustrated” last? A．Two weeks.　　　　　 B．Three months. C．Four months. D．One year. 解析　C　细节理解题。根据第一段“A first­of­its­kind exhibition that focuses on the history of Yellowstone National Park posters will be on display at the University of Wyoming's Coe Library beginning Tuesday, February 1. (从2月1日星期二开始，怀俄明大学图书馆将举办一场首次以黄石国家公园历史海报为主题的展览。)”以及第二段“It will be on view through Tuesday, May 31.(展览将持续到5月31日星期二。)”可知，“仙境画报”展览将持续四个月。故选C。 2．What is a purpose of the exhibition? A．To remember a famous artist. B．To raise fund for Coe Library. C．To mark the anniversary of a national park. D．To tell the history of the University of Wyoming. 解析　C　细节理解题。根据第四段“We're thrilled to be working with Yellowstone collectors Jack and Susan Davis, and Larry and Thea Lancaster to bring this exhibition to the University of Wyoming as part of year­long celebrations recognizing Yellowstone's 150th anniversary(我们很高兴能与黄石收藏者杰克和苏珊·戴维斯以及拉里和西娅·兰开斯特合作，将这次展览带到怀俄明大学，作为纪念黄石公园150周年的为期一年的庆祝活动的一部分。)”可知，展览的目的是纪念一个国家公园的周年。故选C。 3．What do we know about the 1904 poster Henry Wellge designed? A．It is rare in the world. B．It is in black and white. C．It is printed on cloth. D．It is owned by a professor. 解析　A　细节理解题。根据最后一段“This is a unique piece, as posters such as this one were printed on soft paper and very few have survived.(这是一件独特的作品，因为像这样的海报是印在软纸上的，很少能幸存下来。)”可知，1904年亨利·韦尔奇设计的海报在世界上很罕见。故选A。 B Measuring about 13,170 miles long, the Great Wall of China is no doubt the longest man­made project on earth. It was once widely believed that it could be seen from space. Some media even reported with affected seriousness, “The biggest building the astronauts could see from space is the wall, which looks very much like a black worm.” Consequently, this statement has gone deep into people's minds and become an honor that Chinese people have enjoyed for years. Is the Great Wall truly visible from space? Yang Liwei, China's first astronaut who was lifted into outer space by the spacecraft ShenzhouⅤ， gave a definite answer “No.” Yang's negative response may probably put out a fair number of people's passion. But it powerfully corrected the misconception. The wall is indeed majestic, but you won't see it from space! In fact, Neil Alden Armstrong, the American astronaut who first set foot on the moon in 1969, was asked many times whether or not he had seen the Great Wall from the moon. Recently from a sound recording announced by NASA Johnson Space Center, Armstrong said that he had seen the continents, lakes and blue spots touched with red. But he could not make out any man­made objects on earth from the moon. The Great Wall is narrow and irregular. In space, something irregular is hard to observe. Measuring about 10 metres wide on average, it easily merges (融入) into the surrounding environment. With solely the naked eye, it is totally invisible at a height of 196,850 feet. To watch the wall on the moon is like seeking for a single hair from about 2,688 metres away. To say an astronaut can see it from space is obviously not true. However, some people introduced an idea to make the Great Wall visible from space. If we install bright spotlights on the wall, astronauts will see the lights at night. But this suggestion has not been carried out by scientific experiments. [语篇解读]　在太空中到底能否看到长城？ 4．Which is right about the saying “the Great Wall can be seen from space”？ A．News media cast doubt on the saying. B．There was much evidence for the saying. C．Astronauts played a trick on Chinese people. D．The Chinese had belief in the saying for long. 解析　D　细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Consequently, this statement has gone deep into people's minds and become an honor that Chinese people have enjoyed for years.”可知，“从太空中能看到长城”这种说法已经深入人心，让中国人多年来引以为荣。故D项正确。由第一段中的“Some media even reported with affected seriousness, ‘The biggest building the astronauts could see from space is the wall, which looks very much like a black worm.’”可知，有媒体报道宇航员从太空中能看到的最大的建筑物就是长城。因此A项“新闻媒体让人们怀疑这种说法”是错误的。B项“有大量证据证明这种说法”与文中表述不符；C项“宇航员戏弄中国人”文中未提及。 5．What does the underlined word “majestic” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Second to none.　　　 B．Far­reaching. C．Grand. D．Visible. 解析　C　词义猜测题。由第一段中的“Measuring about 13,170 miles long”可知长城是雄伟的建筑物，而画线词所在句意为“长城的确……，但是你从太空中是看不到的”，根据前后两个分句的转折关系的提示可知majestic意为“宏伟的”，与C项意思相近。故选C。 6．As Armstrong once said, what did he see from the moon? A．The Great Wall. B．Bright spotlights. C．Places painted blue. D．Large area of land. 解析　D　细节理解题。由第三段最后两句可知，在美国宇航局约翰逊航天中心最近公布的一份录音中，阿姆斯特朗说他看到了大陆、湖泊和带有些许红色的蓝色地方。但他无法从月球上辨认出地球上任何人造物体。故选D。 7．How does the author prove a point in Paragraph 4? A．By listing figures. B．By giving examples. C．By classifying facts. D．By drawing conclusions. 解析　A　推理判断题。文章第四段从理论上阐述了“从太空中看不到长城”的原因，通过列数字来说明。故选A。 Ⅱ.七选五 On a warm spring morning in 1984, Dong Yao­hui and his two young friends pulled on backpacks and set out on a hike of the Great Wall. Their walk began in Shanhai Pass. 1 By sunset, they took shelter in ancient towers where soldiers once stood guard, perhaps watching for invaders from the north. The walk of 17 months and 8,850 kilometers tested persistence. 2 The trip would not only change their lives but the fortunes of the wall itself, helping preserve it and lift it to the status it holds today. On completing their journey, they published their experiences in a book. As they shared their adventures, it became clear that it was not just the physical demands but also the emotional impact that left lasting impressions. 3 Since then, China has made a number of measures to protect the attraction. In 2006, for instance, the State Council issued the Regulation on the Protection of Great Wall to strengthen laws concerning its preservation and regulate activities on the structure. The Cultural Relics Administrative Department has been given control over the overall protection of the Great wall. 4 Dong places his hands on the weathered wall, as he did 35 years ago. But today, he thinks more deeply on a mission grander than his own journey. “Someone dug up some earth, making it into a brick，” he says. “Someone else brought it all the way up the mountain and built a wall. Then many people guarded the wall for hundreds of years. The Great Wall is definitely alive. 5 ” A．It isn't just a cold, stone wall. B．Preservation requires the efforts of all society. C．From there they went forward to the vast west. D．It wound its way and reached into the Bohai Sea. E．It made them the first ever to walk the whole length. F．Meanwhile, local villagers have recently been hired to act as guardians. G．Preservation work began when the Great Wall was listed as a World Heritage Site. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。1984年董耀辉和他的两个年轻朋友背起背包，出发去长城徒步旅行。在旅程结束后，他们将自己的经历出版成书。他们分享了他们的冒险经历，给人留下了持久的印象。长城被列为世界文化遗产后，保护工作就开始了。 1．解析　C　根据上文提示“Their walk began in Shanhai Pass.(他们从山海关出发。)”，再根据下文提示“By sunset, they took shelter in ancient towers where soldiers once stood guard, perhaps watching for invaders from the north(日落时分，他们躲在古塔里，那里曾经有士兵站岗，也许是为了防备来自北方的入侵者)”可知，选项说明他们行动的路线和方向。所以C项“From there they went forward to the vast west.(他们从那里向广阔的西部前进。)”符合上下文连贯，该项中的there指上文的Shanhai Pass。故选C。 2．解析　E　根据上文提示“The walk of 17 months and 8,850 kilometers tested persistence.(长达17个月、8 850公里的行走考验了他们的耐力。)”可知，选项说明他们完成了全程的旅行。所以E项“It made them the first ever to walk the whole length.(这使他们成为第一个走完全程的人。)”符合上下文连贯。故选E。 3．解析　G　根据下文提示“Since then, China has made a number of measures to protect the attraction.(从那时起，中国采取了一系列措施来保护这一景点。)”可知，选项说明长城被列为世界文化遗产。所以G项“Preservation work began when the Great Wall was listed as a World Heritage Site.(长城被列为世界文化遗产后，保护工作就开始了。)”符合上下文连贯，下文中的then，指的是该项中的“when the Great Wall was listed as a World Heritage Site”。故选G。 4．解析　F　根据上文提示“The Cultural Relics Administrative Department has been given control over the overall protection of the Great wall.(长城的整体保护工作由文物行政管理部门负责。)”可知，选项与上文为并列关系，说明谁来实施保护工作。所以F项“Meanwhile, local villagers have recently been hired to act as guardians.(与此同时，当地村民最近被雇佣为监护人。)”符合上下文连贯。故选F。 5．解析　A　根据上文提示“Someone else brought it all the way up the mountain and built a wall. Then many people guarded the wall for hundreds of years. The Great Wall is definitely alive.(另一个人把土带到了山上，建了一堵墙。 然后许多人守卫了几百年的长城。长城绝对是活的)”可知，选项承接上文说明长城不只是一堵墙。所以A项“It isn't just a cold, stone wall.(它不仅仅是一堵冰冷的石墙。)”符合上下文连贯。故选A。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
