三、阅读理解(本题共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
第一节 请认真阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
You can’t deeply experience Chengdu if you don’t prepare to do anything. Sit on a bamboo chair, stretch (伸展) your feet out and let the afternoon slow away. Listen to hot water being poured into teacups. Taste melon seeds (瓜子) or boiled peanuts. And teahouses are the right places for you and should always be on your must-go list.
Sichuan is one of China’s major tea-producing regions. Chengdu was famous for its teahouses as early as the Tang Dynasty. For centuries, teahouses were places for fun and tea. There, customers can enjoy storytelling, music and especially Sichuan Opera. That is not a popular art form these days, but Yuehai Teahouse beside Jinjiang Theatre still arranges operas every Saturday afternoon.
You will find most of Chengdu’s traditional teahouses in parks. Heming Teahouse in Renmin Park attracts lunchtime office workers and afternoon visitors. When noise gets too much because of more visitors, move on to Shaocheng Teahouse in the same park. Visitors there are older and quieter. They bring songbirds, hanging their cages in trees, and have fun. However, new-style teahouses have opened to attract the younger generation. They want to taste traditional tea in a more modern style. The most famous one of them is Mi Xun Teahouse in Taikoo Li, which is right in the city’s most fashionable shopping area.
As in all teahouses, the tea comes in separate packets which can be kept warm. Maofeng green tea from Mount Emei, southwest of Chengdu, is the traditional favourite. Pour the leaves into your cup. Don’t let the water level in your cup get too low, since any bad taste from the leaves is left on the bottom. You can enjoy your tea all afternoon and order nothing else.
In Chengdu teahouses, people relax themselves by staying away from busy work and life. The capital of Sichuan is developing fast too, but it has managed to keep its slower style that has been lost in many other Chinese cities.
26.The first paragraph leads into the topic by ________ .
A.telling a story B.creating a scene C.giving a reason D.asking a question
27.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A.The main types of teahouses. B.The address of teahouses.
C.Different visitors to teahouses. D.Some activities in teahouses.
28.Which is the best way to divide the passage?
A.B.C.D.
【答案】26.B 27.A 28.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了成都的茶馆文化,包括茶馆的历史、传统与新式茶馆的特点、饮茶方式,以及茶馆作为成都慢生活象征的意义。
【详解】26.第一段“Sit on a bamboo chair, stretch your feet out and let the afternoon slow away. Listen to hot water being poured into teacups. Taste melon seeds or boiled peanuts.”,第一段通过描写坐在竹椅上、听倒水声、嗑瓜子等场景,营造出成都茶馆的氛围,属于creating a scene(创设场景),而非讲故事、给理由或提问题。
27.第三段“You will find most of Chengdu's traditional teahouses in parks… However, new-style teahouses have opened to attract the younger generation.”,第三段既介绍了人民公园内的传统茶馆(鹤鸣茶社、少城茶社),也提到了吸引年轻人的新式茶馆(MI XUN茶社),核心是介绍茶馆的主要类型。
28.全文五个段落的结构逻辑,第一段:引出成都茶馆主题;第二段:介绍茶馆历史与传统活动;第三段:介绍传统与新式茶馆的类型;第四段:介绍成都茶馆的饮茶方式;第五段:总结茶馆对成都慢生活的意义,文章结构为:总起(①)→分述(②-④:历史、类型、饮茶方式)→总结(⑤),与选项A的“首尾总起总结,中间分述”结构一致。
B
①Great news for pet owners in China! Passengers can now bring certain pets on some high-speed trains. This is a new program by China Railway Express (中铁快运). The move is a first for the country’s railway system.
②The service began its test run on April 10. It was first tested on ten trains along the Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway, only running between five big stations: Beijing South, Jinan West, Nanjing South, Shanghai Hongqiao and Hangzhou East. People can book tickets for their pets using the 12306 ticket system at least two days before travel.
③Not all pets can ride the train. So far, only pet cats and dogs are allowed on board. And they must be in good health.Owners are required to show a health certificate (证明) for their pets. Besides, the pet must be less than 15 kilograms and no taller than 40 centimeters at the shoulder.
④During the trip, pets are put in special containers in a separate place, away from pet owners. Train workers watch the pets during the trip and check on them every two hours. Water may be provided if needed, but pets cannot be fed during the trip.
⑤The service follows a “same departure (出发), same arrival” rule. That means owners and their pets must get on the train at the same station and get off together as well. Pet owners should arrive early to finish check-in, and pets must be picked up within one hour after arrival.
⑥Pricing of the service is based on travel distance. For example, transporting a pet on a journey under 1,000 kilometers costs 558 yuan. During the trial period (试行期), it only costs 360 yuan.
⑦Some pet owners are happy with the new service. Many others, however, are a bit worried about the safety of their pets. They hope that in the future their pets can sit next to them on the train.
29.Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraphs 2—4?
A.Passengers can take sick pets to hospitals by train.
B.Water and food may be offered to pets during the trip.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了中国铁路推出的高铁宠物托运新服务,介绍了该服务的试运行情况、托运要求、流程规则、定价方式及公众反馈与期待。
【详解】29.第三段明确提出“And they must be in good health”,生病的宠物禁止乘车,排除A;第四段说明“pets cannot be fed during the trip”,旅途期间不提供食物,排除B;第二段提到“People can book tickets for their pets...at least two days before travel”,需至少提前两天订票,提前三天符合要求,该选项正确;第三段规定宠物肩高不超过40厘米,并非整体身高,D选项表述错误。
30.第⑤段主要围绕“same departure, same arrival”规则展开,说明了宠物托运时主人与宠物必须同站上下车、主人需提前办理托运、到站后1小时内需接走宠物等一系列必须遵守的严格规定,因此核心是宠物主人必须遵守的规则。
31.文章结构为“总—分—总”:第①段为总起,介绍高铁宠物托运服务的推出背景;第②-⑥段为分述,分别从试运行情况、托运要求、途中安排、规则流程、定价方式等方面具体介绍服务细节;第⑦段为总结,说明公众对该服务的态度与期待。 选项B的结构图示,正是“①总起,②-⑥分述,⑦总结”的“总—分—总”结构,与文章逻辑一致。
32.根据第⑦段内容“They hope that in the future their pets can sit next to them on the train”,可知部分宠物主人希望未来宠物能和主人同座,也暗示铁路部门可能会考虑这类需求,因此D选项表述合理。
C
If you are looking for somewhere special to visit in London, we may have the answer for you: Sir John Soane’s Museum. The museum is one of London’s best-kept secrets, and it’s well worth a visit. Sir John, a great architect, lived in London during the 18th century (1753—1837), and the amazing thing is that his house is exactly the same as he left it. In fact, visiting the house is just like stepping back in time.
There are three floors which are open to the public. You can start on the first floor. This was Sir John’s work area. You can ask the guards about the paintings on the walls as they tell you something about his family and life. And don’t worry about the guards as they are really nice and helpful. Next, you can go downstairs to the ground floor. Here you can see his rich collection of paintings. For example, there is a series of interesting paintings about 18th-century life in London. Now comes the last part, the underground floor. It’s full of thousands of valuable objects, such as sculptures and models of famous buildings from all over the world. Walking around this part of the house is a bit like being on a treasure hunt, as you can find things hidden away in secret corners. Anyway, you’ll have to go there yourself to see.
Sir John Soane’s Museum is a very small place. It’s only about ten minutes’ walk from the British Museum. There is a free hour-long guided tour every Saturday at 2:30 p.m., but the best thing is just to walk about by yourself. So now you know where to go next time you’re in London.

【详解】33.第一段“and the amazing thing is that his house is exactly the same as he left it.”说明这座博物馆的特别之处是保留了索恩爵士离开时的原貌。
34.第二段“You can start on the first floor... Next, you can go downstairs to the ground floor... Now comes the last part, the underground floor.”说明先参观一楼,然后下楼去到底层,最后参观地下层,对应③②①。
35.第二段“Here you can see his rich collection of paintings. For example, there is a series of interesting paintings about 18th-century life in London.”说明底层能看到一系列有趣的画作。
36.最后一段“We guarantee that it’s an experience you won’t forget!”及结合全文推荐博物馆的语境,表明作者在此向读者作出保证,这个游览经历令人难忘。guarantee意为“保证、承诺”,与Promise同义。

第一节 请认真阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
You can’t deeply experience Chengdu if you don’t prepare to do anything. Sit on a bamboo chair, stretch (伸展) your feet out and let the afternoon slow away. Listen to hot water being poured into teacups. Taste melon seeds (瓜子) or boiled peanuts. And teahouses are the right places for you and should always be on your must-go list.
Sichuan is one of China’s major tea-producing regions. Chengdu was famous for its teahouses as early as the Tang Dynasty. For centuries, teahouses were places for fun and tea. There, customers can enjoy storytelling, music and especially Sichuan Opera. That is not a popular art form these days, but Yuehai Teahouse beside Jinjiang Theatre still arranges operas every Saturday afternoon.
You will find most of Chengdu’s traditional teahouses in parks. Heming Teahouse in Renmin Park attracts lunchtime office workers and afternoon visitors. When noise gets too much because of more visitors, move on to Shaocheng Teahouse in the same park. Visitors there are older and quieter. They bring songbirds, hanging their cages in trees, and have fun. However, new-style teahouses have opened to attract the younger generation. They want to taste traditional tea in a more modern style. The most famous one of them is Mi Xun Teahouse in Taikoo Li, which is right in the city’s most fashionable shopping area.
As in all teahouses, the tea comes in separate packets which can be kept warm. Maofeng green tea from Mount Emei, southwest of Chengdu, is the traditional favourite. Pour the leaves into your cup. Don’t let the water level in your cup get too low, since any bad taste from the leaves is left on the bottom. You can enjoy your tea all afternoon and order nothing else.
In Chengdu teahouses, people relax themselves by staying away from busy work and life. The capital of Sichuan is developing fast too, but it has managed to keep its slower style that has been lost in many other Chinese cities.
26.The first paragraph leads into the topic by ________ .
A.telling a story B.creating a scene C.giving a reason D.asking a question
27.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A.The main types of teahouses. B.The address of teahouses.
C.Different visitors to teahouses. D.Some activities in teahouses.
28.Which is the best way to divide the passage?
A.B.C.D.
B
①Great news for pet owners in China! Passengers can now bring certain pets on some high-speed trains. This is a new program by China Railway Express (中铁快运). The move is a first for the country’s railway system.
②The service began its test run on April 10. It was first tested on ten trains along the Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway, only running between five big stations: Beijing South, Jinan West, Nanjing South, Shanghai Hongqiao and Hangzhou East. People can book tickets for their pets using the 12306 ticket system at least two days before travel.
③Not all pets can ride the train. So far, only pet cats and dogs are allowed on board. And they must be in good health.Owners are required to show a health certificate (证明) for their pets. Besides, the pet must be less than 15 kilograms and no taller than 40 centimeters at the shoulder.
④During the trip, pets are put in special containers in a separate place, away from pet owners. Train workers watch the pets during the trip and check on them every two hours. Water may be provided if needed, but pets cannot be fed during the trip.

⑥Pricing of the service is based on travel distance. For example, transporting a pet on a journey under 1,000 kilometers costs 558 yuan. During the trial period (试行期), it only costs 360 yuan.
⑦Some pet owners are happy with the new service. Many others, however, are a bit worried about the safety of their pets. They hope that in the future their pets can sit next to them on the train.
