第Ⅱ卷 语篇综合训练
(标语篇配有教师讲评课件)
(一)阅读理解
A
In most places a traffic signal in the middle of the desert, especially one for camels, may well be a mirage,_but in this case it is all too real.At the Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring Scenic Spot in Gansu Province, northwest China, the world's first traffic light for camels was set up to manage traffic in the popular tourist area.
According to a Chinese stateowned wire service, the problem was that the walking paths for human beings often crossed camel paths, creating traffic chaos (混乱).As a solution, workers cut a gap in the walkway and created a separate route for the camels.The traffic light now manages the flow of traffic at the new crossing.
Camelriding tours are a big attraction for visitors to the area.But visitors to the Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring Scenic Spot will now be safe from camel crashes, thanks to the new traffic signal, which turns green to let the animals cross and red to make them stop.
The Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring Scenic Spot is already a tourist hot spot thanks to its breathtaking sand dunes (沙丘), an oasis (绿洲) and even the occasional snowstorm which create otherworldly scenery.The strange camel traffic signal could well become another attraction to enjoy on a visit to the scenic area.
The area is close to Dunhuang City on the edge of the Gobi Desert, and it used to be an essential resting point for travellers on the Silk Road.Dunhuang's bestknown tourist attraction is the Mogao Caves.The traffic signal is unlikely ever to reach the significance of the Mogao Caves, but at least it might help prevent a few camel traffic jams.
语篇解读:本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了在中国西北部甘肃省的鸣沙山和新月泉风景区,设置了世界上第一个骆驼红绿灯,以管理这个热门旅游区的交通。
1.What does the underlined word “mirage” in paragraph 1 probably mean?

A.It has become a tourist hot spot.
B.It has prevented camel traffic jams.
C.It could improve the tourism of the scenic area.

Life plays out much as it always has on the great plains of Kenya's Maasai Mara, but the latest generation of Maasai are gradually changing the face of modern safari (观兽旅行) — with greater permission for female guides and local communities as a whole.
Trainee Brenda Senewakorian, with her long hair tied up in a bun, is among the new female guides recruited by a camp in an effort to increase their numbers.Traditionally in rural communities, women would be expected to cook and fetch water, among other domestic chores.Now, female guides behind safari vehicle steering wheels (方向盘) are an increasingly common sight in the Mara — largely due to communities becoming more accepting, better education from measures such as the WTC and greater flexibility from employers around family commitments.
“Animals are just like us,” Brenda remarks. “They just want to take care of their young ones.” She's a single mother who relies on the support of her family to help raise her child, but she says she's determined to earn her own income.
Across the Mara, more camps are employing women.They're in the process of training their first female guide.Sophie, a veteran in the Mara at the wheel, recalls that previously girls couldn't go to school as parents thought it a waste.But now, the elders recognize what they do, and that everyone needs to contribute to the family income.The perception has changed:“if men can drive, we can drive; if men can guide, we can guide, too.”
It's not long before Sophie finds a mother buffalo and her calf hiding in the long grass.As tourists watch them, Sophie tells them of the legendary black rhino called Mary, who raised a new population of the creatures in the area and inspired the Kenyan government to establish a protection project.
While the essence of safari may remain the same — of watching wildlife out on the plains — change is coming to Kenya, as the next generation of Maasai guides pave their own path.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。在肯尼亚的马赛马拉大平原上,新一代的马赛人中正在涌现出越来越多的女性导游,逐渐改变了现代观兽旅行的面貌。
5.What is the main reason for the increasing number of female guides in Maasai Mara?
A.The decreasing number of male guides.
B.The government's regulations.
C.The changes in local communities.
D.The support from international tourists.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第二段“Traditionally in rural communities ...around family commitments.”可知,在马赛马拉女导游越来越多,这主要是因为当地社区对女性角色的看法以及其他方面已经有所改变。
6.What can we infer from Brenda's words?
A.She understands animals well.
B.She intends to protect animal habitats.
C.She considers animals more affectionate.
D.She wants to raise her child independently.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第三段可知,Brenda的话表明,她想自己挣钱,独立抚养自己的孩子。
7.What is the purpose of paragraph 4?
A.To describe female guides' work challenge.
B.To explain the role of female guides in tourism.
C.To show people's acceptance of gender equality.
D.To introduce female guides' training process.
解析:选C 写作意图题。根据第四段首句“Across the Mara, more camps are employing women.”和尾句“The perception has changed:‘if men can drive, we can drive; if men can guide, we can guide, too.’”可知,该段主要是为了展示人们接受了性别平等。
8.What is the best title for the text?
A.Female Guides:New Force in Maasai Mara Safari
B.Maasai Mara:A Good Place for Female Guides
C.Female Guides:Transforming Traditions in Maasai Mara
D.Maasai Mara:Witnessing the Changes of Female Guides
解析:选A 标题归纳题。本文主要描述了在马赛马拉,涌现出了越来越多的女性导游,她们成为观兽旅行的新生力量。
