Europe is one of the most interesting continents (大陆) you can visit. It has a deep-rooted (根深蒂固的) history and welcomes cultures from all over the world. And it’s one of the easiest places to travel around with the convenient transportation (交通).
There are several parts of Europe: Eastern Europe, Northern Europe, Southern Europe and Western Europe. Among these, the eastern one is a good choice for travelers who want to save money.

Western Europe is the most popular part of Europe, and it has lots of famous sights, like the Eiffel Tower and the Van Gogh Museum.
If you are backpacking (背包旅行) through Europe, the best time to travel is from November to March, when you’ll find cheap tickets for planes and hotels. However, if you are planning a ski (滑雪) vacation, you’ll find large crowds of travelers. The busiest time of year for Europe is summer.

【13题详解】
根据最后一段“The busiest time of year for Europe is summer. From June to August, travelers from all over the world go to this place…”可知,此处主要讨论欧洲的旅游旺季,结合上下文语境,“this place”指代的是前文中的“Europe(欧洲)”。

第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。
When you use a knife and fork, you have to take the knife with your right hand and the fork with your left hand. ____16____
Chopsticks were called zhu or jia in ancient China. It is said that they were invented by Da Yu, who successfully controlled the heavy flood. One day, he was busy dealing with the flood. In order to save time when eating, he used two sticks from a tree to take the hot food. ____17____ It was one of the legends (传说) about chopsticks. In fact, the earliest chopsticks found in China were made of bronze (青铜). They were discovered from Henan Province.
Many people probably haven’t realized the cultural meaning of chopsticks. ____18____ Do you notice that one end of the chopsticks is square and the other end is round? So, why? In Chinese culture, the round end is the symbol of Heaven (天) and the square end is the symbol of Earth. ____19____ It shows the perfect combination (结合) of yin and yang.
____20____ At least 1.8 billion people are using chopsticks around the world. So it’s unbelievable that foreigners cannot use chopsticks.
A. Besides, chopsticks are used in pairs.
B. It is not easy to learn to use chopsticks.
C. That was how chopsticks came into use.
D. The influence of Chinese culture has been far and wide.
E. It’s regarded as one of the symbols of Chinese food culture.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了筷子的起源传说、外形设计所蕴含的文化意义(天圆地方、阴阳结合),以及筷子作为中国饮食文化象征之一的广泛影响力。
【16题详解】
前文提到使用刀叉时需要右手拿刀、左手拿叉(双手配合),此处通过转折词“But”引出筷子的优势,F项But with chopsticks, you can solve eating problems with just one hand.只需一只手就能解决吃饭问题,通过与刀叉的对比,自然引出下文对筷子的介绍,符合逻辑衔接。
【17题详解】
本段讲述了大禹为了节省时间用树枝夹热食物的传说故事。空白处位于故事叙述之后、总结句“It was one of the legends”之前,应是对该起源故事的总结,C项That was how chopsticks came into use说明筷子由此开始被使用,符合逻辑。
【18题详解】
前一句提到许多人未意识到筷子的“文化含义”,空白处应进一步阐述其文化地位。E项指出它被视为中国饮食文化的象征之一,紧承上文的“文化含义”,并引出下文对形状细节的描述。
【19题详解】
前文解释了筷子一头圆(天)、一头方(地)的含义,后文提到这展示了阴阳的完美结合。A项提到筷子是“成对使用”的,这与天地方圆、阴阳结合的双向概念相呼应,符合逻辑。

【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了问路的重要性,阐述了听方向时易困惑的问题,并提供了礼貌问路及有效记忆路线的实用建议。
【21题详解】
句意:然而,人们在听别人指路时容易变得困惑。
根据“listening to someone giving directions”,可知此处引导时间状语从句。根据语境,听的过程中容易困惑,when“当……时”符合题意。before在……之前、how如何,均不符合逻辑。
【22题详解】
句意:所以当听别人指路时,要注意听。
pay attention为固定搭配,意为“注意”。pay符合搭配。have(have attention搭配不当)、let(let attention无此用法),均不符合。
【23题详解】
句意:例如,他或她可能会告诉你:“沿着这条街直走,在第一个十字路口右转。”
根据后文具体的指路内容,可知这是在举例说明。根据语境,For example引出实例,合理性高。What’s more和Besides表递进,不符。
【24题详解】
句意:听完别人用英语提供方向后,你清楚了吗?
根据前文“people become confused”,此处问是否“清楚”,clear“清楚的”符合题意。good好的、tired疲惫的,均不符合。
【25题详解】
句意:这里有一些建议帮你记住方向。
根据下文列出的tips,可知这是建议。根据语境,advice“建议”为不可数名词,符合some修饰。message信息、idea想法,均不如advice贴合“帮助记忆的方法”。
【26题详解】
句意:这将帮你记住街道、转弯和路口的名字。
根据“streets, turns, and crossings”,可知指路涉及名称。根据语境,记住名字才能找到路,合理性高。names“名称”符合题意。colors颜色、sizes尺寸,均不符合。
【27题详解】
句意:最后,重复整套方向。
根据前文步骤及“whole set”,可知这是最后一步。根据语境,Finally“最后”表示顺序结束,符合题意。Firstly首先、Next接下来,均不符合“最后一步”的逻辑。
【28题详解】
句意:以问候开始对话是必须的。
根据“with a greeting”,可知对话始于问候。根据语境,Starting作主语,意为“开始”,符合礼仪。Forgetting忘记、Keeping保持,语意相反,均不符合。
【29题详解】
句意:记得以礼貌的表达结束,如“谢谢!”或“祝你今天愉快!”
根据“finish”,finish with sth.为固定搭配,意为“以……结束”,with符合题意。for为了、to到/向,均不符合。
【30题详解】
句意:而如果你说“告诉我去最近的书店的路”,那听起来就不礼貌了。
根据前后句意对比(polite vs impolite),可知表转折。根据语境,But连接相反情况,合理性高。And和So表顺承或因果,不符。
第二节(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文并填空,然后将答案写到答题卡的相应位置(如有提示词,则填入提示词的正确形式;如无提示词,则填入1个适当的单词)。

Stop being a student
The right attitude (态度) can make the ____32____ (different) between failure and success. Stop thinking of yourself as someone who is learning English, and think of yourself as someone who ____33____ (speak) English. It’s a small change, ____34____ it will make you feel more confident and help you use the English you already know better.
Try to learn sentences
Speaking English fluently means being able to express (表达) your thoughts and feelings. You should try to speak English in full sentences, so why not ____35____ (learn) it in full sentences? You’ll find that English is more useful in your life if you study whole sentences, rather than just words.
Practice makes perfect
Studying English for ____36____ hour once a week isn’t usually enough to make any real progress. The best way to ____37____ (quick) improve English is to spend at least a few minutes practicing every day.
Don’t be afraid ____38____ (make) mistakes
Sometimes it can be difficult to put all those ____39____ (rule) and words together into a simple sentence. Don’t let the fear of saying something wrong stop you from speaking. Even if you think you are making a mistake, keep speaking anyway. Most of the time, people will understand what you are trying to say. The more you speak, the ____40____ (easy) it will be.
【答案】31. for
32. difference
33. speaks 34. but
35. learn 36. an
37. quickly
38. to make
39. rules 40. easier
【解析】
【导语】本文就如何流利地说英语给出了实用建议,包括调整心态、学习完整句子、坚持每日练习、不怕犯错等,强调了正确方法和自信的重要性。
【31题详解】
句意:我为你准备了一些建议。分析句子结构可知,本空应填介词,表示“为了”。根据上下文,“advice for sb.”为固定搭配,意为“给某人的建议”。故填for。
【32题详解】
句意:正确的态度能够造成成功与失败之间的差异。分析句子结构可知,本空应填名词,作“make”的宾语。所给词“different”意为“不同的”,其名词形式为“difference”,且“make the difference”为常用短语,意为“产生差异、起作用”。故填difference。
【33题详解】
句意:把自己看作一个说英语的人。分析句子结构可知,本空是定语从句中的谓语动词,先行词“someone”为单数,且描述一般事实,应用一般现在时第三人称单数。所给词“speak”意为“说”,故填speaks。
【34题详解】
句意:这是一个小小的改变,但它会让你感到更自信。分析句子结构可知,前后句为转折关系,需填连词。根据句意可知,“but”意为“但是”,表示转折,符合逻辑。故填but。
【35题详解】
句意:你为什么不学完整的句子呢?分析句子结构可知,“why not”后接动词原形,构成固定句型“why not do sth.”,意为“为什么不做某事”。所给词“learn”意为“学习”,填动词原形,故填learn。
【36题详解】
句意:每周学习英语一小时通常不足以取得真正的进步。分析句子结构可知,本空应填冠词,修饰名词“hour”。“hour”以元音音素开头,且表示“一小时”,应用不定冠词“an”。故填an。
【37题详解】
句意:快速提高英语的最佳方法是每天至少花几分钟练习。分析句子结构可知,本空修饰动词“improve”,应填副词。所给词“quick”意为“快的”,是形容词,其副词形式为“quickly”,意为“快速地”。故填quickly。
【38题详解】
句意:不要害怕犯错。分析句子结构可知,“be afraid to do sth.”为固定搭配,意为“害怕做某事”。所给词“make”意为“制造”,要变为不定式,故填to make。
【39题详解】
句意:有时候很难把所有的规则和词汇组合成一个简单的句子。分析句子结构可知,本空应填名词复数。“rule”意为“规则”,前面有“those”修饰,应用复数形式,故填rules。
【40题详解】
句意:你说得越多,就会越容易。分析句子结构可知,本句为“the + 比较级,the + 比较级”结构,表示“越……,就越……”。所给词“easy”意为“容易的”,其比较级需要改词尾y为i再加er变为“easier”。故填easier。
