Instead of following a guide to famous buildings, you will carry a card with twelve questions about everyday life. You might discover why a shop opens early or where people used to collect water. The activity takes place this Saturday. Meet at the library at 10:15 a.m. The librarian will explain the route before everyone leaves at 10:30. You can walk with a partner or in a small family group. The route is about two kilometres long, and you should return to the library by noon. There is no competition to finish first. At each stop, look carefully before writing an answer. An old photograph in a shop window may offer a useful clue. You can also speak to residents, but ask whether they have time to talk. The card has space for drawings as well as words. Nobody expects you to answer all twelve questions. Choose three discoveries to share when you return, and explain how you found them. Bring a pencil, drinking water and comfortable shoes. The activity is free, but groups must leave their names at the library desk by Friday afternoon. If it rains, the group will explore old maps and photographs inside the library instead. The questions will change, but the aim will remain the same: to look beyond a town's most famous sights. 6. When will the walkers leave the library? A. On Friday afternoon. B. At 10:15 on Saturday. C. At noon on Saturday. D. At 10:30 on Saturday. 7. Why should walkers ask residents whether they have time? A. To respect their daily activities. B. To check their answers with a guide. C. To invite them into the competition. D. To find the quickest walking route. 8. What must a group do before joining the activity? A. Buy a map from the library. B. Finish the twelve questions at home. C. Leave its names at the desk. D. Choose three drawings for a show. 9. Who would probably enjoy this activity most? A. A photographer seeking famous mountain views. B. A shopper searching for cheaper clothes. C. A runner looking for a timed race. D. A visitor interested in everyday history. B Oliver arrived in a small town with a list of three famous sights. He wanted to photograph them before lunch and then move on. However, the tourist office was closed that morning. He went into a bakery and asked its owner, Elena, how to reach the old tower. She took a paper bag and began drawing a map. Her map included the tower, but also a school, a narrow bridge and a bench beside a vegetable shop. Oliver thought these extra places were strange. Elena explained that children crossed the bridge on their way to school. Older residents met at the bench while waiting for fresh vegetables. 'These places help me describe the town,' she said. Oliver followed her directions. At the bridge, he noticed numbers showing how high the river had been in different years. Beside the bench, a man told him that the vegetable shop had once been a tiny cinema. Oliver had walked past both places without noticing them on an earlier visit. This time, he stayed and asked questions. By lunchtime, Oliver had reached only one of his three famous sights. Yet he no longer felt behind schedule. He returned to the bakery and asked Elena to sign her map. Back home, he put it beside his photographs. The map did not show every street accurately, but it helped him remember people whose lives had made the town more than a collection of buildings. 10. Why did Oliver enter the bakery? A. He planned to buy a town map. B. He needed directions to the tower. C. He hoped to photograph the owner. D. He wanted a meal before travelling. 11. What did the bridge and the bench mean to Elena? A. They were part of local life. B. They were her favourite photo spots. C. They were stops on every tourist route. D. They were the town’s newest public spaces. 12. What can we infer about Oliver’s earlier visit? A. He used Elena’s map to find the bridge. B. He paid little attention to ordinary places. C. He spent most of his time with residents. D. He learnt the history of the vegetable shop. 13. What is the best title for the passage? A. Three Famous Sights, Three Perfect Photos B. A Narrow Bridge, A Changing River C. A Closed Office, A Wasted Morning D. A Hand-drawn Map, A Different Town C When visitors explore a town, they often look up at its buildings. Looking at the street signs can also be rewarding. A street name is more than a way to find an address. Sometimes it keeps a small piece of history that has disappeared from view. Learning to read these names can turn an ordinary walk into a search for stories. Some names point to work that people once did. In old towns, people with the same trade often lived and worked near one another. Their customers could find several makers in the same area. Even after the workshops moved or closed, names connected with those trades sometimes remained. A street name can therefore remind us of people whose everyday work helped a town grow. Other names describe the land. A name containing 'hill' may tell a walker to expect a climb. A name such as 'Brook Street' may suggest that a small stream once ran nearby. The water may now be hidden under a road. In such cases, the sign keeps something in people's memory even though visitors can no longer see it. Old maps may help explain the connection. However, a name is a clue, not a complete answer. 'King Street' might refer to a ruler, a person's family name, or something else. A new housing area may use tree names even if those trees never grew there. Names can also change. It would be a mistake to invent a detailed history simply because a name sounds old or exciting. So how can a traveller investigate? Start by writing down an interesting name. Compare it with an older map, read a short local history, or ask at a museum. Residents may share stories too. Different people may remember different things, so it helps to compare their accounts rather than accept the first explanation. Record what is known and what still needs checking. You do not need to solve every mystery to enjoy the walk. One well-checked story may help you notice a town's changes more clearly than a long list of guessed meanings. The next time you pass a street sign, give it a moment. Behind a few familiar words, there may be work, water or a life worth learning about. 14. How could trade-related street names begin? A. New shops chose names from distant towns. B. Similar workers gathered in one area. C. Travellers named streets after their jobs. D. Museums gave workshops matching addresses. 15. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. Street names may preserve clues about land. B. Street signs help visitors find better shops. C. Local maps always explain changing street names. D. Old streams usually follow modern town roads. 16. What does the writer suggest when residents give different explanations? A. Leave the name out of the travel record. B. Accept the account from the oldest speaker. C. Choose the story with the most detail. D. Compare their stories with other evidence. 17. Which would the writer probably agree with? A. A modern street offers little to investigate. B. A longer list makes a stronger travel record. C. An interesting name needs careful checking. D. An old-sounding name usually explains itself. D When someone says, 'I have been there before,' we sometimes hear it as a reason not to go again. Travel can become a race to collect new place names. Yet visiting a place twice is not necessarily repeating the same experience. A return visit can show us what a hurried first visit left unseen. On a first visit, much of our attention goes to finding our way. We work out the transport, look for lunch and try to reach the main sights. These things take time and energy. When we return, some practical questions are already answered. We may have more attention left for a small gallery, a quiet side street or a conversation with someone who lives there. The place itself may also be different. A garden changes with the seasons. A market feels different on a working morning and a holiday afternoon. Even a familiar museum may add an exhibition or tell an old story in a new way. Returning does not have to mean walking exactly the same route. One different question can give a familiar walk a new purpose. We change too. A child may enjoy the bright shapes in a glass workshop. Years later, the same visitor may become interested in the maker's skill and the hours behind one small cup. What seemed boring before may now connect with a book we have read or a problem we have thought about. The second visit reveals something about ourselves as well as the place. Of course, there are good reasons to choose somewhere new. People have limited time and money, and some may have only one chance to travel far. New places can challenge familiar ideas. The point is not to return everywhere, but to avoid treating 'new' as the only measure of a worthwhile trip. A nearby place visited thoughtfully may teach more than a distant place visited only for a quick photograph. Before planning another journey, ask what you want to notice or understand. If a new destination can help, go and explore it. If an old one still holds an unanswered question, consider returning. The value of travel lies partly in the attention we bring. A growing collection of place names cannot tell the whole story of what we have learnt. 18. Why might a second visit allow more conversations with residents? A. Local people expect returning visitors to talk. B. Returning visitors no longer need any plans. C. Fewer practical questions need attention. D. Main sights are usually closed to repeat visitors. 19. Why does the writer mention the glass workshop? A. To show how a visitor’s interests change. B. To compare different ways of making glass. C. To describe a workshop’s new tourist activities. D. To explain why handmade cups cost more. 20. What is the main idea of paragraph 5? A. New destinations are best for every traveller. B. New and familiar places both offer value. C. Distant journeys usually waste time and money. D. Nearby visits should replace all long journeys. 21. Which would the writer probably agree with? A. Choose a place mainly for its distance. B. Repeat the same route on every return. C. Judge a trip by the number of sights. D. Visit with a question worth exploring. 三、完形填空 A Lily bought a __22__ for a small pottery workshop during a family trip. She showed it at the entrance before a member of staff let her in. Inside, a man was making bowls. Other visitors gathered around him, but Lily felt __23__. She wanted to return to the gift shop, where she could choose something quickly. Before leaving, she asked the man about the __24__ of a finished blue bowl. He told her, then put it beside an unfinished one. Lily __25__ a tiny leaf mark on both bowls. In a nearby photograph, the man's father was holding a bowl with the same mark. For the first time that morning, she wanted to know more than how much something cost. Lily asked him to __26__ the mark. He said his father had used it, and he still added it to his own work. He spoke __27__, giving Lily time to examine the bowls. Her next __28__ was about the colour. Soon she was watching how he mixed it. She discovered that she could enjoy __29__ without buying anything. When the family left, Lily __30__ the man for his time. Her mother asked whether she still wanted the bowl. 'Maybe another time,' Lily said. She had already written the leaf's story in her notebook. One extra question had made her understanding __31__. The workshop was no longer just another stop before lunch. It was a place she wanted to remember. 22 A. map B. postcard C. ticket D. menu 23 A. hopeful B. nervous C. bored D. proud 24 A. price B. shape C. size D. weight 25 A. copied B. covered C. noticed D. painted 26 A. hide B. repair C. explain D. remove 27 A. hurriedly B. carelessly C. angrily D. patiently 28 A. order B. question C. rule D. promise 29 A. painting B. shopping C. cooking D. learning 30 A. thanked B. called C. helped D. followed 31 A. quieter B. deeper C. brighter D. lighter B I used to fill my travel book with __32__. Under each one, I wrote the place and date, and that was usually enough. During a trip to a fishing village, I planned to make a page about its old harbour. But when we reached the water, my camera screen went black. The battery was empty. I felt __33__, as if the visit could no longer count as a real memory. My younger sister, Rosie, took out a pencil. She began drawing boats, although her lines looked nothing like them. While I complained, an older man sat down nearby. He had worked on the local ferry before the bridge was built. When Rosie asked about the boat he was drawing in the sand, he __34__ us a story instead of a photograph. We __35__ while he described mornings when people waited to cross the water. Some carried vegetables; others were going to school. He remembered their voices better than their faces. His story made the quiet harbour seem busy again. I began asking questions about the __36__. My mother suggested that I could __37__ the sounds in words. I wrote about ropes tapping against wood and a boy calling from the far side. Rosie handed me her pencil. I drew the man's hands tying a knot. It was a __38__ drawing, and I nearly threw it away because the fingers were too long. Then he showed us why that knot held firmly. I added arrows and a few words. The page now described something I had watched and understood, even without a picture from my camera. At home, my grandmother __39__ the knot immediately. She had learnt it during a school sailing trip and had not thought about that day for years. Our book led to another conversation. We __40__ memories at the kitchen table, and I wrote her story on the opposite page. I had not expected an old harbour to bring a piece of her childhood back into view. I still take pictures on my travels. But the page with no photograph has become one of the most __41__ pages in my book. It reminds me of a voice, a patient pair of hands and my grandmother's smile. A camera can help me remember. Paying attention can give me something worth remembering in the first place. 32 A. tickets B. photos C. letters D. maps 33 A. disappointed B. relieved C. proud D. amused 34 A. offered B. forgot C. refused D. wasted 35 A. argued B. listened C. slept D. waved 36 A. price B. weather C. past D. future 37 A. record B. erase C. hide D. ignore 38 A. famous B. colourful C. perfect D. rough 39 A. recognised B. sorted C. replaced D. borrowed 40 A. corrected B. shared C. missed D. lost 41 A. ordinary B. useless C. expensive D. valuable 四、完成句子 42. 这次旅行让我愿意接受新的想法。 This trip has made me ________ ________ new ideas. 43. 我们应该从不同的角度看待这座小镇。 We should see the town from different ________ ________ ________. 44. 请记录你的旅行经历。 Please ________ ________ ________ of your travel experiences. 45. 我想了解这条街的历史。 I want to ________ ________ the history of this street. 46. 露西从十岁起就喜欢旅行。 Lucy has loved travelling ________ she was ten. 五、书面表达 47. 学校英语角正在征集题为“A Small Trip, A New View”的短文。请介绍一次你在附近城镇或街区的旅行，写清去了哪里、做了什么，以及你获得的一种新认识。词数不少于60。 ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 八年级上册 Unit 5 L1 同步作业 Always Travelling, Always Learning 解析版 一、单项选择 1.

C. At noon on Saturday. D. At 10:30 on Saturday. 【答案】D 【分类】细节理解 【解析】第二段说明十点十五分集合，十点半出发，中午前返回。题目问出发时间，因此选 At 10:30 on Saturday。 7. Why should walkers ask residents whether they have time? A. To respect their daily activities. B. To check their answers with a guide. C. To invite them into the competition. D. To find the quickest walking route. 【答案】A 【分类】推理判断 【解析】第三段要求先问居民是否有时间交流，可推知这是为了避免打扰他们的日常生活。文中没有要求居民带路或参加比赛。 8. What must a group do before joining the activity? A. Buy a map from the library. B.

A visitor interested in everyday history. 【答案】D 【分类】推理判断 【解析】活动关注店铺、取水地点和老照片等日常生活线索，最适合对日常历史感兴趣的游客。它不计时，也不以购物或山景为重点。 参考译文 想用一种不同的方式探索布兰布尔顿吗？镇上的图书馆为十二岁及以上的游客准备了一项步行活动。你不会跟着导游去看著名建筑，而是带着一张写有十二个日常生活问题的卡片。你可能会发现一家店为何很早开门，或者人们过去在哪里取水。 活动在本周六举行。上午十点十五分在图书馆集合。大家十点半出发前，图书管理员会讲解路线。你可以和一位伙伴同行，也可以组成一个小型家庭小组。路线约两公里长，应在中午之前返回图书馆。这不是比谁先完成的比赛。 每到一站，先仔细观察，再写答案。商店橱窗里的一张老照片也许能提供有用的线索。你也可以与居民交流，但要先问他们是否有时间。卡片既留有写字的位置，也留有画画的位置。没有人要求你回答全部十二个问题。返回后，选择三个发现与大家分享，并说明你是怎样发现它们的。 请带上铅笔、饮用水，穿舒适的鞋。活动免费，但各组必须在周五下午之前到图书馆服务台登记姓名。如果下雨，大家改在图书馆内研究老地图和照片。问题会改变，但目的相同：看到一个小镇的著名景点之外的东西。 B Oliver arrived in a small town with a list of three famous sights. He wanted to photograph them before lunch and then move on. However, the tourist office was closed that morning. He went into a bakery and asked its owner, Elena, how to reach the old tower. She took a paper bag and began drawing a map. Her map included the tower, but also a school, a narrow bridge and a bench beside a vegetable shop. Oliver thought these extra places were strange. Elena explained that children crossed the bridge on their way to school. Older residents met at the bench while waiting for fresh vegetables. 'These places help me describe the town,' she said. Oliver followed her directions. At the bridge, he noticed numbers showing how high the river had been in different years. Beside the bench, a man told him that the vegetable shop had once been a tiny cinema. Oliver had walked past both places without noticing them on an earlier visit. This time, he stayed and asked questions. By lunchtime, Oliver had reached only one of his three famous sights. Yet he no longer felt behind schedule. He returned to the bakery and asked Elena to sign her map. Back home, he put it beside his photographs. The map did not show every street accurately, but it helped him remember people whose lives had made the town more than a collection of buildings. 10. Why did Oliver enter the bakery? A. He planned to buy a town map. B. He needed directions to the tower. C. He hoped to photograph the owner. D. He wanted a meal before travelling. 【答案】B 【分类】细节理解 【解析】第一段说明游客中心未开门，Oliver 到面包店询问通往古塔的路，并不是为了用餐、拍店主或买地图。 11. What did the bridge and the bench mean to Elena? A. They were part of local life. B. They were her favourite photo spots. C. They were stops on every tourist route. D. They were the town’s newest public spaces. 【答案】A 【分类】细节理解 【解析】第二段分别说明孩子们过桥上学、居民在长椅旁等蔬菜。这些地点反映当地人的生活，所以 Elena 把它们画进地图。 12. What can we infer about Oliver’s earlier visit? A. He used Elena’s map to find the bridge. B. He paid little attention to ordinary places. C. He spent most of his time with residents. D. He learnt the history of the vegetable shop. 【答案】B 【分类】推理判断 【解析】第三段说他以前经过桥和长椅却没有注意到它们，可推知他当时没有认真观察这些普通地点。其他选项均无依据。 13. What is the best title for the passage? A. Three Famous Sights, Three Perfect Photos B. A Narrow Bridge, A Changing River C. A Closed Office, A Wasted Morning D. A Hand-drawn Map, A Different Town 【答案】D 【分类】标题归纳 【解析】全文围绕手绘地图展开，写 Oliver 如何从追赶景点转向了解居民生活。正确标题同时概括了线索和认识上的变化。 参考译文 奥利弗带着一张列有三个著名景点的清单来到一个小镇。他想午饭前拍完这些景点，然后继续赶路。然而，那天上午游客中心没有开门。他走进一家面包店，问店主埃莱娜怎么去古塔。她拿来一个纸袋，开始画地图。 她的地图上有古塔，还有一所学校、一座窄桥和蔬菜店旁的一条长椅。奥利弗觉得这些额外的地点很奇怪。埃莱娜解释说，孩子们上学要经过这座桥。年长的居民等新鲜蔬菜时会在长椅旁相聚。“这些地方能帮助我介绍这个小镇。”她说。 奥利弗照着她的指引走。在桥边，他注意到一些数字，标记着不同年份河水曾达到的高度。在长椅旁，一位男子告诉他，蔬菜店从前是一家小电影院。之前一次来访时，他从这两个地方走过，却没有注意到它们。这一次，他留下来问了些问题。 到了午饭时间，奥利弗只到过原定三个著名景点中的一个。不过，他不再觉得自己落后于计划。他回到面包店，请埃莱娜在地图上签名。回家后，他把地图放在照片旁边。地图没有准确画出每一条街，却帮助他记住了一些人；正是这些人的生活，让小镇不只是一些建筑的集合。 C When visitors explore a town, they often look up at its buildings. Looking at the street signs can also be rewarding. A street name is more than a way to find an address. Sometimes it keeps a small piece of history that has disappeared from view. Learning to read these names can turn an ordinary walk into a search for stories. Some names point to work that people once did. In old towns, people with the same trade often lived and worked near one another. Their customers could find several makers in the same area. Even after the workshops moved or closed, names connected with those trades sometimes remained. A street name can therefore remind us of people whose everyday work helped a town grow.

New shops chose names from distant towns. B. Similar workers gathered in one area. C. Travellers named streets after their jobs. D. Museums gave workshops matching addresses. 【答案】B 【分类】细节理解 【解析】第二段说明过去从事相同行业的人常在同一区域生活和工作，相关街名由此与当地行业联系起来。 15. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. Street names may preserve clues about land. B. Street signs help visitors find better shops. C. Local maps always explain changing street names. D. Old streams usually follow modern town roads. 【答案】A 【分类】段落主旨 【解析】第三段以 hill 和 Brook Street 为例，说明街名可以保存地形、水流等线索。旧地图只是辅助说明，不能作为本段的全部主旨。 16. What does the writer suggest when residents give different explanations? A. Leave the name out of the travel record. B. Accept the account from the oldest speaker. C. Choose the story with the most detail. D. Compare their stories with other evidence. 【答案】D 【分类】细节理解 【解析】第五段建议比较不同人的说法，并结合老地图、地方历史等信息核实。细节多或年龄大都不等于说法一定可靠。 17. Which would the writer probably agree with? A. A modern street offers little to investigate. B. A longer list makes a stronger travel record. C. An interesting name needs careful checking. D. An old-sounding name usually explains itself. 【答案】C 【分类】观点判断 【解析】第四段强调名字只是线索，第五、六段强调核实胜过猜测，故作者会赞同认真查证一个有趣名字的含义。 参考译文 游客探索小镇时，常常抬头看建筑。看看街道标牌也可能有所收获。街名不只是寻找地址的工具。有时，它保留了一小段已经从眼前消失的历史。学会理解这些名字，可以把一次普通的步行变成寻找故事的过程。 有些名字指向人们过去从事的工作。在老城镇，做同一种生意的人常住在一起、在附近工作。顾客可以在同一区域找到多位工匠。即使作坊搬走或关闭，与这些行业有关的名字有时仍会保留下来。因此，街名能让我们想起那些以日常工作帮助城镇发展的人。 另一些名字描述地形。带有 hill 的名字可能提醒行人前方要爬坡。Brook Street 这样的名字可能暗示附近曾有一条小溪。如今，流水也许藏在道路下面。在这种情况下，即使游客再也看不到它，街道标牌仍把它留在人们的记忆里。老地图可以帮助解释这种联系。 不过，名字是线索，而不是完整的答案。King Street 可能与一位统治者有关，也可能来自某个人的姓氏，或者另有原因。新的住宅区可能使用树木的名字，即使那些树从未在那里生长。名字也会改变。仅仅因为一个名字听起来古老或有趣，就编造一段详细历史，是错误的。 那么旅行者可以怎样调查呢？先记下一个有趣的名字。把它与旧地图比较，读一篇简短的当地历史，或者向博物馆询问。居民也可能分享故事。不同的人可能记得不同的事情，因此最好比较他们的说法，不要接受听到的第一个解释。把已知的事情和仍需核实的事情分别记录下来。 不必解开每一个谜团，才能享受这次步行。一个经过认真核实的故事，可能比一长串猜测出来的含义更能帮助你看清城镇的变化。下次经过街道标牌时，稍微停留一下。几个熟悉的词语背后，可能有工作、水流，或者一个值得了解的人生故事。 D When someone says, 'I have been there before,' we sometimes hear it as a reason not to go again.

Main sights are usually closed to repeat visitors. 【答案】C 【分类】推理判断 【解析】第二段说明重访时交通、用餐等实际问题已有答案，可以把更多注意力留给细节和交谈。作者并未说完全不需要计划。 19. Why does the writer mention the glass workshop? A. To show how a visitor’s interests change. B. To compare different ways of making glass. C. To describe a workshop’s new tourist activities. D. To explain why handmade cups cost more. 【答案】A 【分类】写作意图 【解析】第四段以同一游客在不同年龄关注不同事物为例，支撑“我们也在改变”这一观点，并非介绍玻璃制作或价格。 20. What is the main idea of paragraph 5? A. New destinations are best for every traveller. B. New and familiar places both offer value. C. Distant journeys usually waste time and money. D. Nearby visits should replace all long journeys. 【答案】B 【分类】段落主旨 【解析】第五段先承认去新地方的合理性，再说明“新”不是衡量价值的唯一标准，体现对新目的地与熟悉目的地的平衡看法。 21. Which would the writer probably agree with? A. Choose a place mainly for its distance. B. Repeat the same route on every return. C. Judge a trip by the number of sights. D. Visit with a question worth exploring. 【答案】D 【分类】观点判断 【解析】末段建议先问自己想观察、理解什么，全文强调用心探索。因此作者会赞同带着值得探究的问题去旅行。 参考译文 有人说“我以前去过那里”时，我们有时会把它当成不再去的理由。旅行可能变成一场收集新地名的比赛。然而，去同一个地方两次，不一定是在重复同一种经历。再次到访可以让我们看到第一次匆忙旅行时忽略的东西。 第一次到访时，我们的很多注意力用在找路上。我们研究交通、寻找午饭的地方，并努力到达主要景点。这些事需要时间和精力。再次到访时，一些实际问题已经有了答案。我们可能有更多精力去看一个小画廊、一条安静的小街，或与当地人交谈。 地方本身也可能发生变化。花园随季节而改变。集市在普通工作日的早晨和假日下午给人的感觉不同。即使是熟悉的博物馆，也可能增加展览，或用新方式讲述旧故事。再来不一定意味着走完全相同的路线。换一个问题，就能让熟悉的步行有新的目的。 我们也在改变。一个孩子可能喜欢玻璃作坊里鲜艳的形状。多年以后，同一个游客也许会对工匠的技艺，以及一个小杯子背后花费的时间产生兴趣。从前觉得无聊的事情，如今可能与读过的书或思考过的问题联系起来。第二次到访既让我们认识地方，也让我们认识自己。 当然，选择新地方也有充分的理由。人们的时间和金钱有限，有些人可能只有一次远行的机会。新地方能挑战熟悉的观念。关键不是每个地方都要重访，而是不要把“新”当成衡量旅行价值的唯一标准。用心到访的附近地点，可能比只为匆忙拍张照片而去的远方教给我们更多。 计划下一次旅行前，问问自己想观察或理解什么。如果新目的地能有所帮助，就去探索。如果旧地方还有一个未解决的问题，可以考虑再去。旅行的价值部分取决于我们投入的注意力。不断增加的地名收藏，无法完整说明我们学到了什么。 三、完形填空 A Lily bought a __22__ for a small pottery workshop during a family trip.

Under each one, I wrote the place and date, and that was usually enough. During a trip to a fishing village, I planned to make a page about its old harbour. But when we reached the water, my camera screen went black. The battery was empty. I felt __33__, as if the visit could no longer count as a real memory. My younger sister, Rosie, took out a pencil. She began drawing boats, although her lines looked nothing like them. While I complained, an older man sat down nearby. He had worked on the local ferry before the bridge was built. When Rosie asked about the boat he was drawing in the sand, he __34__ us a story instead of a photograph. We __35__ while he described mornings when people waited to cross the water. Some carried vegetables; others were going to school. He remembered their voices better than their faces. His story made the quiet harbour seem busy again. I began asking questions about the __36__. My mother suggested that I could __37__ the sounds in words. I wrote about ropes tapping against wood and a boy calling from the far side. Rosie handed me her pencil. I drew the man's hands tying a knot. It was a __38__ drawing, and I nearly threw it away because the fingers were too long. Then he showed us why that knot held firmly. I added arrows and a few words. The page now described something I had watched and understood, even without a picture from my camera. At home, my grandmother __39__ the knot immediately. She had learnt it during a school sailing trip and had not thought about that day for years. Our book led to another conversation. We __40__ memories at the kitchen table, and I wrote her story on the opposite page. I had not expected an old harbour to bring a piece of her childhood back into view. I still take pictures on my travels. But the page with no photograph has become one of the most __41__ pages in my book. It reminds me of a voice, a patient pair of hands and my grandmother's smile. A camera can help me remember. Paying attention can give me something worth remembering in the first place. 32 A. tickets B. photos C. letters D. maps 【答案】B 【考点】词义辨析 【解析】下文提到照相机、拍照，以及每张下面写地点和日期，可知旅行本过去主要贴 photos。 33 A. disappointed B. relieved C. proud D. amused 【答案】A 【考点】词义辨析 【解析】照相机没电，主人公觉得无法留下真正的记忆，心情是失望的 disappointed。 34 A. offered B. forgot C. refused D. wasted 【答案】A 【考点】词义辨析 【解析】老人接下来主动讲渡船往事，offered us a story 表示“为我们讲了一个故事”。 35 A. argued B. listened C. slept D. waved 【答案】B 【考点】词义辨析 【解析】老人讲故事，孩子们随后根据故事继续提问，说明他们认真听 listened。 36 A. price B. weather C. past D. future 【答案】C 【考点】词义辨析 【解析】老人介绍的是大桥建成之前的渡船生活，主人公询问过去 past 的事情。 37 A. record B. erase C. hide D. ignore 【答案】A 【考点】词义辨析 【解析】母亲建议用文字保留声音，record 表示“记录”；后文 I wrote 与之呼应。 38 A. famous B. colourful C. perfect D. rough 【答案】D 【考点】词义辨析 【解析】手指画得太长，主人公差点扔掉这幅铅笔画，可知它比较粗略 rough。 39 A. recognised B. sorted C. replaced D. borrowed 【答案】A 【考点】词义辨析 【解析】祖母以前学过这种结，所以能立即认出 recognised。 40 A. corrected B. shared C. missed D. lost 【答案】B 【考点】词义辨析 【解析】家人围坐交谈，主人公又记下祖母的故事，说明大家分享 shared 回忆。 41 A. ordinary B. useless C. expensive D. valuable 【答案】D 【考点】词义辨析 【解析】这一页连接了老人、港口和祖母的记忆，主人公珍视它，因此是宝贵的 valuable。 参考译文 过去，我的旅行本里贴满照片。每张照片下面，我写上地点和日期，通常就觉得足够了。去一个渔村旅行时，我打算做一页介绍老港口的记录。但到了水边，照相机屏幕突然黑了，电池没电了。我觉得很失望，仿佛这次到访不再算得上一段真正的记忆。 妹妹罗茜拿出一支铅笔，开始画船，虽然她画的线条一点也不像船。我抱怨时，一位年长的男子在附近坐下。大桥建成前，他在当地渡船上工作。罗茜问起他在沙地上画的那条船时，他没有给我们照片，而是为我们讲了一个故事。 我们听他描述人们等着渡河的早晨。有些人带着蔬菜，另一些人去上学。与面孔相比，他更清楚地记得他们的声音。他的故事让安静的港口仿佛又忙碌了起来。我开始问有关过去的问题。母亲建议我可以用文字记录声音。我写下绳子轻敲木头的声音，以及对岸一个男孩的呼喊声。 罗茜把铅笔递给我。我画下男子正在打结的双手。这是一幅粗略的画，因为手指画得太长，我差点把它扔掉。接着，他向我们演示这个结为何很牢固。我添了箭头和几句话。即使没有照相机拍的照片，这一页如今也描述了我亲眼观察并理解的东西。 回家后，祖母一眼就认出了那个结。她在学校的一次帆船活动中学过，却很多年没想起那一天了。我们的旅行本引出了另一次交谈。我们在厨房的桌边分享回忆，我把她的故事写在对面那页。我没想到，一个老港口竟能让她童年的一部分重新出现在眼前。 旅行时，我仍然拍照。但那张没有照片的页面，已经成为旅行本里最宝贵的页面之一。它让我想起一个声音、一双耐心的手，以及祖母的微笑。照相机可以帮助我记忆，而认真观察可以首先给我值得记住的东西。 四、完成句子 42. 这次旅行让我愿意接受新的想法。 This trip has made me ________ ________ new ideas. 【答案】open to 【解析】be open to 表示“愿意接受……”。make sb + 形容词短语，此处填 open to。 43. 我们应该从不同的角度看待这座小镇。 We should see the town from different ________ ________ ________. 【答案】points of view 【解析】point of view 意为“角度；观点”。different 后用复数 points，后面的 of view 不变。 44. 请记录你的旅行经历。 Please ________ ________ ________ of your travel experiences. 【答案】keep a record 【解析】keep a record of 意为“记录……”，是教材中的旅行建议。 45. 我想了解这条街的历史。 I want to ________ ________ the history of this street. 【答案】learn about 【解析】learn about 意为“了解”。want to 后接动词原形，填 learn about。 46. 露西从十岁起就喜欢旅行。 Lucy has loved travelling ________ she was ten. 【答案】since 【解析】从句 she was ten 表示过去的时间起点，与现在完成时连用时，用 since。 五、书面表达 47. 学校英语角正在征集题为“A Small Trip, A New View”的短文。请介绍一次你在附近城镇或街区的旅行，写清去了哪里、做了什么，以及你获得的一种新认识。词数不少于60。 【写作思路】先交代地点和主要活动，再用一个具体细节说明认识上的变化。叙述过去的活动可用一般过去时；表达对现在的影响可用现在完成时。 Possible Version 1 Last Saturday, I visited a nearby town with my parents. We walked through an old market and tried local bread. A baker showed us how he made it. I used to think small towns were boring, but this trip has changed my mind. I have learnt that ordinary places can have interesting stories. Next time, I will ask more questions and keep a better record of what I discover. Possible Version 2 Last weekend, my family explored a town only half an hour from our home. I expected very little, since it had no famous attractions. Then a baker drew us a map, marking a narrow bridge and a bench where neighbours often met. Following his directions, I discovered how much a place could reveal through everyday life. The bridge carried children to school; the bench carried conversations from one generation to another. This short journey has taught me to look beyond impressive buildings. I would like to return with a notebook, ready to listen. A place does not need to be distant to change the way we see the world. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
