课时二 阅读技能训练(答案)
一、阅读理解
体裁:说明文 题材:美国灰熊的保护
【文章大意】本文主要介绍了美国灰熊数量从过去的减少到现在数量的恢复,同时,也提及了人们应该采取一些预防措施,以避免与灰熊的冲突。
1. A
【命题意图】考查细节理解。
【答案分析】根据第一段的第一句“Grizzly bears, which may grow to about 2.5 m long and weigh over 400 kg, occupy a conflicted corner of the American psyche — we revere (敬畏) them even as they give us frightening dreams.”可知,美国人对灰熊有着复杂的情感,既敬畏它们,又会因为它们而做噩梦,因此A选项“它们给人们带来复杂的感受”正确。B选项“它们应该被留在国家公园里”文章未提及;C选项“它们具有很高的科学价值”文章未提及;D选项“它们是美国文化的象征”属于无中生有。
2. C
【命题意图】考查细节理解。
【答案分析】根据第三段“In 1975, grizzlies were listed under the Endangered Species Act.”和第四段“Today, there are about 2,000 or more grizzly bears in the US.”可知,自1975年灰熊被列为濒危物种后,其数量得到了增长。因此C选项“自1975年以来的法律保护”正确。A选项“欧洲定居者的行为”与灰熊数量增长无关,反而历史上欧洲定居者的猎杀导致了灰熊数量的减少;B选项“熊活动范围的扩大”是灰熊数量恢复后的结果,而非原因;D选项“美洲原住民的支持”文章未提及。
3. A
【命题意图】考查细节理解。
【答案分析】第四段提到“Both efforts were overturned due to lawsuits from conservation groups.”,说明保护组织的诉讼阻止了美国鱼类和野生动物管理局将灰熊从濒危物种名单中移除。因此A选项“保护组织的反对”正确。B选项“灰熊的成功回归”是事实,但并不是阻止移除的原因;C选项“生物学家的声音”文章未提及;D选项“当地农民的倡导者”文章未提及。
4. B
【命题意图】考查推理判断。
【答案分析】最后一段提到“If people remove food and attractants from their yards and campsites, grizzlies will typically pass by without trouble.”,说明如果人们采取措施避免吸引灰熊,它们就不会给人们带来麻烦,可以推断出人和灰熊可以和谐共处。因此B选项“人们可以和灰熊和谐共处”正确。A选项“应该为灰熊提供食物”与文章意思相反,文章建议人们移除食物以避免吸引灰熊;C选项“应该为灰熊修建一条特殊的道路”文章未提及;D选项“可以引进技术来保护灰熊”虽然文章提到了电围栏等技术手段,但并非文章主旨,且不能从最后一段推断出这一点。
5.表格答案
1. 50,000 2. 600-800 3. hunting by settlers 4. 2 5. Endangered Species 6.endangered 7. 2000 8. legal protections 9. remove protections
训练后反思(略)
二、语篇结构
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了1972年7月4日,一对名叫托尼和莫林的年轻新婚夫妇从英国到澳大利亚旅行的事迹。
6. G
【考点】顺承关系、同畴词复现
【详解】根据上文“On July 4, 1972, a pair of young newlyweds named Tony and Maureen were on the driveway … England.(1972年7月4日,一对名叫托尼和莫林的年轻新婚夫妇走在英格兰南部一户人家的车道上)”以及后文“Or somewhere. They…bags. They believed that their journey across Asia…in England.(或者某个地方。他们有一个装满食物、烹饪设备和一些睡袋的箱子。他们认为,在他们在英国安定下来,过上稳定的中产阶级生活之前,他们的亚洲之旅只不过是一次小小的冒险)”可知,后文提到了某个地方,且他们有一些旅途用品,推测这对夫妇要外出旅行,本句是在说明他们的目的地。故G选项“他们开着一辆二手小货车,他们的目标是去印度”符合语境,且G项中driving与空前一句中driveway属同畴词复现。
7. E
【考点】考查顺承关系
【详解】根据上文“And it turned …Singapore.(事实证明,这正是这对夫妇所渴望的冒险。他们在意大利阿尔卑斯山遭遇了暴风雪;在伊朗撞上了一辆摩托车;然后卖掉了他们的车。从那里,这是一辆开往巴基斯坦的巴士,然后又开往印度。这对夫妇搭便车南下泰国,然后经过马来西亚和新加坡)”以及下一段“Tony and Maureen each lost… from England to Australia.(在从英国到澳大利亚的五个半月里,托尼和莫林每人都瘦了十多磅)”可知,本句是在讲他们最后到达的地方是在澳大利亚。故E选项“他们出发去旅行的最后一站——西澳大利亚”符合语境。
8. C
【考点】递进关系、代词指代
【详解】根据上文“Tony and Maureen each lost more than ten pounds in the five and a half months it took them to get from England to Australia.(在从英国到澳大利亚的五个半月里,托尼和莫林每人都瘦了十多磅)”以及后文“And by the time they made it to Sydney they had precisely twenty-seven cents left to sustain them.(当他们到达悉尼时,他们只剩下27美分来维持生活)”可知,上文说明了旅行持续的时间,推测本句会解释旅行的距离。故C选项“他们已经走了一万多英里了”符合语境。
9. F
【考点】递进关系
【详解】根据后文“The bookshops they could have visited back in England in 1972 would have had precious little to offer in the way of practical advice for their route.(如果回到1972年的英国,他们本可以去的书店对他们的路线几乎没有什么实用的建议)”可知,后文提到了1972年的书店对路线没有实用的建议,推测本句针对他们获得的旅行指导或建议进行设问。以及下一段第一句“But that's not to say that Tony and Maureen had nothing to guide them.”转折修正,以便后面引出其他答案,通过设问、否定、转折的层层递进。故F选项“这对年轻夫妇在这一切中有什么指导?”符合语境。
10. D
【考点】递进关系、同词复现
【详解】根据后文“And these notes would… tens of millions of readers.(这些笔记后来被证明是《廉价穿越亚洲》这本书的宝贵资料,这本书是《孤独星球》旅行指南的开端,对数千万读者来说,这本书是冒险旅行的福音)”可知,后文提到了笔记成为资料,说明他们在旅途中进行了记录。且D项中Notes与上句notes同词复现,故D选项“托尼每天都非常仔细地记录信息”符合语境。
三、完形填空。
11-15 ADBCA 16-20 BDBCA 21-25 DDCBC

My husband suddenly spotted a small building on a hill in the distance. In no time we found ourselves heading for it. We were filled with hope and excitement to find such a building in the middle of nowhere. We climbed up the hill at a swinging pace as if all the pains were gone. As we approached, a sign came into sight, which read: Administration Office. However, it was not open for business. The empty hall made us nervous all at once. We stood there hopelessly, wondering what to do next.
Paragraph 2:
Just then, a friendly woman appeared, saying, “Hello.” I could barely hold back my enthusiasm and blurted out, “We are lost!” She comforted us and opened a room for us to take a break. Seeing we were cold and hungry, she treated us with hot chocolate. After studying the map, we figured out that our car was parked over three kilometers away. She offered us a ride back to our car and we accepted gladly. I felt relieved to see our rental car again. What a blessing to have such an unforgettable experience

课时二 阅读技能训练
(一)阅读理解
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
【2023全国甲卷,D篇】
Grizzly bears, which may grow to about 2.5 m long and weigh over 400 kg, occupy a conflicted corner of the American psyche—we revere (敬畏) them even as they give us frightening dreams. Ask the tourists from around the world that flood into Yellowstone National Park what they most hope to see, and their answer is often the same: a grizzly bear.
“Grizzly bears are re-occupying large areas of their former range,”says bear biologist Chris Servheen. As grizzly bears expand their range into places where they haven’t been seen in a century or more, they’re increasingly being sighted by humans.
The western half of the US was full of grizzlies when Europeans came, with a rough number of 50,000 or more living alongside Native Americans. By the early 1970s, after centuries of cruel and continuous hunting by settlers, 600 to 800 grizzlies remained on a mere 2 percent of their former range in the Northern Rockies. In 1975, grizzlies were listed under the Endangered Species Act.
Today, there are about 2,000 or more grizzly bears in the US. Their recovery has been so successful that the US Fish and Wildlife Service has twice attempted to delist grizzlies, which would loosen legal protections and allow them to be hunted. Both efforts were overturned due to lawsuits from conservation groups. For now, grizzlies remain listed.
Obviously, if precautions (预防) aren’t taken, grizzlies can become troublesome, sometimes killing farm animals or walking through yards in search of food. If people remove food and attractants from their yards and campsites, grizzlies will typically pass by without trouble. Putting electric fencing around chicken houses and other farm animal quarters is also highly effective at getting grizzlies away. “Our hope is to have a clean, attractant-free place where bears can pass through without learning bad habits,”says James Jonkel, longtime biologist who manages bears in and around Missoula.
1. How do Americans look at grizzlies?
A. They cause mixed feelings in people. B. They should be kept in national parks.
C. They are of high scientific value. D. They are a symbol of American culture.
2. What has helped the increase of the grizzly population?
A. The European settlers’ behavior. B. The expansion of bears’ range.
C. The protection by law since 1975. D. The support of Native Americans.
3. What has stopped the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service from delisting grizzlies?
A. The opposition of conservation groups.
B. The successful comeback of grizzlies.
C. The voice of the biologists.
D. The local farmers’ advocates.
4. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Food should be provided for grizzlies.
B. People can live in harmony with grizzlies.
C. A special path should be built for grizzlies.
D. Technology can be introduced to protect grizzlies.

On July 4, 1972, a pair of young newlyweds named Tony and Maureen were on the driveway of a family home in the south of England. ____6____ . Or somewhere. They had a trunk full of food, cooking equipment and some sleeping bags. They believed that their journey across Asia would be nothing more than a little adventure before they settled down to a steady, middle-class life in England.
And it turned out to be just the kind of adventure the couple longed for. They got caught in a snowstorm in the Italian Alps; bumped into a motorcycle in Iran;then sold their car. From there, it was a bus to Pakistan, then on to India. The couple hitchhiked south across Thailand and on through Malaysia and Singapore. ____7____.
Tony and Maureen each lost more than ten pounds in the five and a half months it took them to get from England to Australia. _____8____. And by the time they made it to Sydney they had precisely twenty-seven cents left to sustain them.
____9____. The bookshops they could have visited back in England in 1972 would have had precious little to offer in the way of practical advice for their route.
But that's not to say that Tony and Maureen had nothing to guide them. As they would discover soon, their single best source of information was the other travelers they’d encounter on the road. ___10____. And these notes would later prove to be a very valuable resource for the book Across Asia on the Cheap, beginning of their Lonely Planet guidebooks—the gospel(真理)of adventure travel for tens of millions of readers.
A. They would also exchange information.
B. They once wanted to stop their journey.
C. They'd covered over ten thousand miles.

In valleys with thick plants, different-sized round and square buildings with faded yellow clay walls and wooden roofs, tulou lie in mountainous villages in Longyan, Fujian Province. There are more than 23,000 tulou in Yongding, which became well-known after 46 were given World Heritage status by UNESCO in 2008. “The structures were awarded because they are exceptional examples of a building of tradition and function demonstrating a particular type of communal living and defensive organization, and, in terms of their harmonious relationship with their environment, an outstanding example of human settlement,” UNESCO said.
The giant multi-storied tulou were built with wood and mud walls. Constructed from the 15th to 20th centuries, these massive communal homes were sited based on feng shui principles, which claim to use energy forces to harmonize individuals with their environment. Tulou are also purposefully resting amid tea, tobacco, rice plantations and abundant forests of pine and bamboo.
Throughout history, tulou residents have mostly been Hakka — migrants in southern China. Population pressures created conflict between the Hakka and their neighbors, so they built their homes to double as defence. The buildings are mainly four or five stories high. The first floor serves as the kitchen, the second is used for grain storage and the upper floors act as living areas. The structures are mainly symmetrical, and their defensive features include ironclad gates, escape tunnels, narrow openings for weapons under the dark-tiled roofs, and a water well. For their defensive function, only rooms on the third floor and higher have windows, which are very small. With sufficient food, the residents could survive in the event of a lengthy conflict.
Communal living is integral to these villages, where the closed wall design boosts social interaction. Residents gather in the courtyard for ceremonies such as ancestor worship and weddings. Tulou is such an extraordinary piece of architecture, living up to the title given by UNESCO.
1.What do we know about tulou?
A. Over 23,000 tulou were given World Heritage status.
B. Among 23,000 tulou, only 46 became famous globally.
C. They’re exceptional buildings of tradition and function.
D. Tulou is the most outstanding Chinese human settlement.
2.What is most important for residents during a long period of conflict?
A. Escape tunnels. B. Enough food. C. Small windows. D. Defensive weapons.
3.What is probably the author’s attitude to the protection of tulou?
A. Favorable. B. Unclear. C. Negative. D. Unconcerned.
4.Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A. Tulou: in Harmony with Their Environments
B. Tulou: Different-Sized Round and Square Buildings
C. Tulou: Given the World Heritage Status by UNESCO in 2008
D. Tulou: a Special Chinese Structure Combining Living and Defending

Deep in the forest, my husband and I had fun climbing over and crawling under the downed trees that blocked the dirt path before us. It was May, yet we walked up a snow-covered hill. When we noticed our jeans were wet up to our knees, it did not dampen our spirits. Not once did we say, “Let’s turn around.” This was our vacation, and we were on an adventure. Little did we know this was the beginning of many more surprises.
The trail was marked as an easy one-kilometer like yet we were already walking a long distance. Our light-heartedness stopped when we came out into a clearing and saw a parking lot without our rental car in it. As my eyes scanned the surroundings, nothing looked familiar. My heart raced. I realized we were lost in a national park that did not officially open for another week.
Usually, I am the calm one in the relationship, but my husband surprised me with his calmness. This did not comfort me; in fact, it heightened my fear. As we walked, I asked my husband to call for help, but there was no cell-phone signal in this isolated(偏僻的)area.
It was awfully quiet except for our footsteps hitting the road, and my heavy breathing. My husband suggested we conserve energy and walk slower. With each step on the road, my feet and thighs hurt while my mind raced with thoughts about people who got lost in the Canadian woods for days.
My vision sharpened. I noticed everything around me: the trees, rocks and snow. I thought we could eat the snow on the ground in case we needed water. For the first time in my life, I was ready and willing to get a ride, but we did not meet with a single car on the road. Silently, I prayed multiple times. We focused on each other, made joint decisions and connected through gratitude. We managed to stay on the main road and walked straight on.
Paragraph 1:
My husband suddenly spotted a small building on a hill in the distance.

Just then, a friendly woman appeared, saying, “Hello.”
