Section Ⅰ　Reading and Thinking（1） 阅读理解 A 　　After spending two and a half years on separate continents （洲）， my family was determined to be together.Could there be a more beautiful way to do this than a train journey？ Our route — from Venice to Como， then over the Swiss border to Zermatt， Wengen， and Zurich — was bold， linking places my parents had seen only in movies and travel shows， places I had never dared to believe I would set foot in until a few years ago.We had waited anxiously for visas and flight reservations.Then， in some disbelief， we all arrived in Europe.It was my parents’ first time on this continent. 　　Though the three generations had never traveled together， we found our rhythm with ease.My parents entertained our ten-month-old baby， who clapped on the glass and laughed at the faces they made at him.When he grew sleepy， my husband and I rocked him， using my jacket as his blanket （毯子）， then laid him across our laps and — quietly unpacked our sandwiches. 　　I loved our stop， Wengen， an amazing， traffic-free town above the green Lauterbrunnen Valley.On a rainy day in Wengen， we watched clouds move above the valley floor， found mystery berries on branches that still held raindrops， and wondered at the towering rock wall above us turning volcano-red with the sunset， a sight that only occurs once or twice a year， according to a local. 　　We had selected each train ride to be three to four hours long， so that the baby wouldn’t go bananas.Before we had a baby， time on trains used to be measured in pages read， the degrees of light changing outside the window.Now it was measured by every minute of the baby squirming （扭动）， unhappy at his containment， our attention to the view constantly challenged.But that is a short-sighted reading of this part.The arrival of a baby reminds us of how short-lived our lives are.See the world before our time is up — isn’t that what a vacation is？ 1.How did the family feel about the travel before departure？（　　） A.Relieved with pleasure. B.Eager with confidence. C.Proud with anticipation. D.Excited with uncertainty. 2.Which can replace the underlined part “found our rhythm” in paragraph 2？（　　） A.Lost our way. B.Wrote our music. C.Changed our course. D.Achieved our harmony. 3.What amazed the family in Wengen？（　　） A.A rare breathtaking sunset scene. B.The clouds on a rainy day. C.The fast-flowing traffic. D.A mystery berry tree. 4.What message does the author want to give in the last paragraph？（　　） A.Reading books is an important part of life. B.A baby’s arrival brings about great challenges. C.Traveling with a baby gives a lesson about life’s value. D.Time on train rides with a baby is measured differently. B 　　Hidden on the southwest of New Zealand’s South Island， Skippers Canyon Road （船长峡谷公路） is now one of New Zealand’s better-known scenic roads. 　　The road is mostly one-way with no turnaround for 6 km， and not recommended for newbies.In most places， the road is too narrow for vehicles to pass each other， and the drop-offs leave absolutely no room for error.There are many warning signs along the road： rental cars may not be insured； winding road； recommended speed 15 km/h for the next 20 km； danger of sliding， rockfall； animals on the road； no safety barriers ... 　　The road has a long history.It was built during the gold rush when a dangerous track was the only access to the town of Skippers and the Upper Shotover Diggings.The discovery of gold in the Skippers Canyon and the Arrow River brought a huge wave of miners into the area.The road was built between 1883 and 1890 to improve access for miners， particularly for those seeking to position large machinery.It also provided a better means of access for those living in the canyon than the existing track. 　　It took 22 years to carve the road out of the solid rock using only black gunpowder （火药） and hand drills.The local rock is so soft that under the traffic， it quickly turns into dust （尘土） in dry weather and to mud （淤泥） in wet.Under these conditions， it is no surprise to learn that initially motor vehicles were banned from driving at the beginning of the 1900s. 　　Today， tourism is the road’s biggest user， with many people coming to see the road or use it as a means of access to activities like bungee jumping operations or white-water rafting.It has been a notable location for some movies.It’s actually one of the best-kept secrets that the canyon featured in the first of The Lord of the Rings movies.And some scenes from Mission： Impossible 6 were filmed here. 5.What about Skippers Canyon Road does paragraph 2 mainly describe？（　　） A.Its history. B.Its dangerous nature. C.Its recommended route. D.Its surrounding scenery. 6.What was the original purpose of the road？（　　） A.To serve as a historical landmark. B.To offer a short cut for local residents. C.To improve transportation for gold rushers. D.To encourage connection between neighboring towns. 7.What can be learned about the construction of the road？（　　） A.It met strong opposition from the locals. B.It was smooth thanks to modern machinery. C.It was stopped multiple times because of air pollution. D.It faced considerable challenges due to limited conditions. 8.Why does the author mention movies in the last paragraph？（　　） A.To stress the road’s widespread recognition. B.To publicize notable locations featured in films. C.To indicate the road’s significant role in local history. D.To emphasize various activities available along the road. 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ UNIT 4　JOURNEY ACROSS A VAST LAND Section Ⅰ　Reading and Thinking（1） 语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。“我”带着父母和十个月大的宝宝一起旅行，意识到了旅行真正的意义。 1.D　推理判断题。根据第一段中的Our route ...in some disbelief， we all arrived in Europe.可推知，在出发前，我们对这次大胆的旅行充满期待，内心十分激动，但同时又充满了不确定感。 2.D　词义猜测题。根据第二段的内容可知，尽管祖孙三代从来没有一起旅行过，但在旅行途中我们很快就找到了自己的节奏，我们与孩子的相处非常和谐，由此可推知，found our rhythm在此意为“找到了我们自己的节奏；实现了我们的和谐”。 3.A　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二句可知，在Wengen，我们一家人看到了每年只能遇到一两次的令人叹为观止的日落景象，这令人非常难忘。 4.C　段落大意题。根据最后一段的内容可知，有孩子之前，我们在火车上的时光通常都是在阅读和欣赏风景中度过的，但现在，带着十个月大的宝宝，我们无法再集中注意力做以前热衷的事情。但作者又提出，将孩子的到来视作挑战是很短视的看法，孩子的出现反而提醒了我们生命的可贵。由此可推知，最后一段主要想传递的信息是：带着宝宝旅行给我们上了一堂关于生命价值的课。 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了新西兰著名的风景公路之一——船长峡谷公路。 5.B　段落大意题。根据第二段的内容可知，船长峡谷公路道路狭窄、蜿蜒曲折，且路上有很多提示各种危险的指示牌，因此本段主要是讲这条公路的危险性。 6.C　细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第二句可知，修建船长峡谷公路的最初目的是方便淘金者进出该地区。 7.D　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段内容可知，因条件限制，修建这条公路面临着相当大的挑战。 8.A　推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知，如今船长峡谷公路已经成为知名的旅游打卡地，作者在本段提到它是一些电影的拍摄地，是为了突出它的受欢迎程度。 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
