The next day,I decided to visit a nearby vineyard (葡萄园).I rented a bike and went through the beautiful countryside.The vineyard was a sight to enjoy,with rows upon rows of grapevines as far as the eye could see.I spent the day learning about wine-making and sampling delicious wines. On my third day,I met a local artist named Marco.He invited me to his studio and showed me his amazing paintings.We spent the afternoon chatting and sharing stories. Later that week,I joined a cooking class and learned to make traditional Italian pasta.It was a messy but fun experience. One evening,as I was sitting in a piazza,enjoying an ice cream,I noticed a group of musicians playing.The music was so beautiful that it brought tears to my eyes. A few days later,I decided to move on to my next destination.I said goodbye to the town and the people I had met,but I knew that this place would always hold a special place in my heart. I took a train to the next city,but when I arrived at the station,I realized that I had lost my wallet.I searched everywhere but couldn’t find it.I was starting to panic.I had no money,no credit cards,and no way to pay for a place to stay.What should I do? 注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Just as I was feeling completely hopeless,a kind stranger came to me.      　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 With his help,I finally found my wallet and continued my journey.      　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 知识积累卡 一、重点单词 1.encounter vt.　　　　　　　　  2.fantastic adj.　　　　　  二、熟词生义 1.document　本文义:vt.　　　　　　　　　其他义:n.　　　　　　  2.cover　本文义:v.　　　　　　　其他义:v.　　　　　　  三、词块速记 1.interact with 　　　　　　　  2.engage in 　　　　　　　  四、经典句式背诵 He doesn’t even ride bikes,though he does use pack animals.(强调谓语) 句意:  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 参考答案 Ⅰ.1.idioms　2.anyhow　3.alongside　4.proceed 5.accent Ⅱ.1.as　2.to　3.to order　4.Owing　5.to Ⅲ.1.Standing in the distance　2.to see the sun rising slowly　3.dreamt of doing a road trip Ⅳ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了国家地理探险家Paul Salopek的徒步旅程,他从非洲出发,重走人类祖先迁徙至南美洲的路线,并沿途记录所见所闻,分享普通人的故事。 1.C　推理判断题。根据第一段中“National Geographic Explorer Paul Salopek is walking from Africa to the tip of South America.”和第二段中“Salopek has named his journey the Out of Eden Walk.”以及“During each part of his walk,Paul is joined by a local guide.”可知,“走出伊甸园之旅”是保罗·萨洛佩科(Paul Salopek)在各大洲进行的一次巡回徒步旅行。 2.A　推理判断题。根据第二段中“As he walks through different countries,landscapes and cultures,Salopek is documenting what he sees and hears.”和第三段中“He has spoken to thousands of people since his walk began.As he puts it,‘I am in a seven,eight,nine-year-long conversation with total strangers.’”可知,萨洛佩科记录他自己一路的所见所闻,故可推知其与陌生人的谈话是有收获的。 3.C　细节理解题。根据最后一段中“As a journalist,Salopek would often fly into an area to cover a story and then quickly leave again.But he felt he was missing part of the story and wanted to dig deeper.The Out of Eden Walk was born from this desire.”可知,保罗·萨洛佩科开始“走出伊甸园之旅”,是为了挖掘重大新闻故事的更深层次内容。 4.A　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The goal is to deeply explore some of...get to know the people who are behind the headlines.”可知,慢速新闻报道务实、有意义。 Ⅴ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在国外旅游时需要知道的一些事情,包括了解目的地的宗教、语言、文化等,选择旅游淡季,善待他人,以及尽情享受当下等。 1.D　根据前句“When traveling in foreign nations,you have to know their way of life.”和后句“Otherwise,you may get yourself on the wrong side.”可知,不了解他们的生活方式会带来不好的结果,所以需要从不同的角度看问题。D 项“It requires you to see things from a different angle.”符合语境。 2.F　根据前文“Know as much as possible about your destination before traveling.”和“Get to know the religion,language,culture and things that appear obvious.”可知,这里进一步介绍了解目的地的好处。F 项“Traveling there,you can communicate better with local people.”符合语境。 3.E　根据前句“During such times,you need to pay lots of money for your flight.”可知,这里与前文形成对比,说明在旅游淡季旅行的好处。E项符合语境。 4.A　根据后句“You will get treated in the way you interact with the people that you meet.”可知,空白处应与“对待他人”有关。A 项符合语境。 5.B　根据前句“Don’t think of the next time.”可知,空白处应说明不考虑下一次的原因是应该享受当下。B 项符合语境。 Ⅵ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了哈尔滨的旅游业蓬勃发展。 1.extremely　考查词性转换。修饰形容词cold用副词形式,故填extremely。 2.tourists　考查名词的数。根据上文“Ban Ruiqi and her family”可知,指代不止一个游客,用复数形式。故填tourists。 3.where　考查定语从句。设空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the Harbin Ice and Snow World,在从句中作地点状语,故填where。 4.to　考查介词。be available to可获得。故填to。 5.Known　考查非谓语动词。be known as被称为,句中已有谓语动词has been,设空处应用非谓语动词作状语,动词know与逻辑主语Harbin为被动关系,应用过去分词作状语。句首单词首字母大写。故填Known。 6.a　考查冠词。句中泛指“一个更受游客欢迎的城市”,应用不定冠词,且more是发音以辅音音素开头的单词。故填a。 7.measuring　考查非谓语动词。由空前with the longest slide可知,此处为with复合结构,slide与measure为主动关系,故用现在分词作宾语补足语,故填measuring。 8.has drawn　考查时态。设空处是句子的谓语动词,根据后文since then可知用现在完成时,主语The upgraded attraction为单数,助动词用has。故填has drawn。 9.popularity　考查词性转换。根据上文名词所有格the city’s可知,设空处应用名词作主语,故填popularity。 10.it　考查it用法。设空处需要用代词来指代前面提到的the city,故填it。 Ⅶ.
