Ⅱ.七选五
Walking
the
Great
Wall
of
China
can
be
as
ambitious
as
tackling
the
entire
1,800
miles
from
the
Gobi
Desert
to
the
Yellow
Sea
or
spending
a
morning
or
afternoon
climbing
a
section
with
a
tour
group.
__1__
Read
about
the
history
of
the
Great
Wall's
construction
so
you
can
appreciate
those
many
uneven
steps.
Book
a
half?day
tour
right
from
your
Beijing
hotel.
Bring
a
bottle
of
water
and
a
light
bag,
a
hat,
sunglasses
and
sunscreen
and,
of
course,
your
camera.
Obtain
necessary
government
permits
for
a
more
ambitious
independent
hike.
__2__
Pack
your
equipment
for
a
walk
along
all
or
a
large
section
of
the
Great
Wall
and
then
try
to
reduce
its
weight.
__3__
Get
good
maps
and
study
recent
trip
diaries
and
guides.
Break
in
your
climbing
shoes
and
don't
forget
to
put
lots
of
bandages
and
suncream
in
the
first?aid
kit.
Decide
whether
you
will
begin
in
the
Gobi
Desert
or
at
the
Yellow
Sea.
Desert
travel
is
tiring
and
slow?going.
__4__
Create
a
plan
and
file
it
with
a
friend
you
will
contact
at
regular
intervals.
This
is
an
essential
safety
step
for
an
isolated,
dangerous
trip.
__5__
The
trip
is
as
much
about
absorbing
cultures
as
walking
the
Great
Wall.
Villagers
may
offer
you
meals
and
lodging.
In
remote
areas
this
can
be
a
time
saver.
Travel
with
a
friend
if
possible;
learn
some
basic
Chinese
before
you
go
and
engage
pleasantly
but
carefully
with
local
people
in
the
less?developed
regions.
A.Accept
local
kindness
but
exercise
caution.
B.You
can
also
bring
nothing
with
you.
C.Consult
a
good
camping
supply
store
for
the
lightest
equipment.
D.The
heat
is
fierce
so
plan
walks
for
early
morning
and
late
afternoon.
E.You
will
connect
with
Chinese
history
and
culture
and
test
your
own
limits.
F.Both
approaches
demand
some
physical
fitness,
the
right
shoes
and
preparation.
G.Start
that
process
months
in
advance
of
travel
to
ensure
your
trip
won't
be
delayed

Ⅴ.读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The
guitar
in
the
corner
of
the
room
is
as
silent
as
it
has
ever
been
for
years
now.
It
has
been
more
than
three
months
that
no
one
has
played
it,
and
no
one
will
ever
play
it
again.
A
layer
of
dust
has
formed
all
over
it.
I
could
dust
it
off,
but
somehow
I
feel
unworthy
of
touching
it,
let
alone
picking
it
up.
It
had
been
such
a
big
part
of
my
childhood,
hearing
its
amazing
notes
flow
without
hesitation,
but
only
when
held
by
the
right
hands
did
it
sound
as
amazing
as
it
could.
I
had
always
been
afraid
of
it
somehow.
I
am
still
a
bit,
since
the
sound
was
always
strong
yet
comforting.
I
can't
stop
thinking
about
how
I
will
never
hear
it
again,
how
it
would
probably
stay
in
that
corner
of
my
room
for
the
rest
of
eternity.
Sitting
in
the
sofa
facing
the
guitar
I
could
almost
see
him,
my
dad,
telling
me
that
it
was
the
second
best
thing
in
his
life.
I
remember
that
moment
so
well.
I
was
seven.
I
asked
him,
“What's
the
first?”
and
he
told
me
“You”.
It
made
me
feel
so
special,
being
picked
over
an
instrument
that
could
make
such
wonderful
music
with
just
a
bit
of
help
from
the
man
that
was
in
front
of
me.
When
he
was
home,
every
waking
minute
there
was
music
radiating
from
it.
The
music
made
me
feel
safe,
like
if
there
wasn't
anything
else
in
the
world
but
its
amazing
sounds.
I
stayed
staring
at
the
dust
covered
the
guitar
remembering
the
last
time
I
saw
my
dad;
he
was
heading
out
once
more.
He
was
excited
and
he
was
always
proud
of
serving
his
country.
He
never
complained.
The
only
thing
that
he
wouldn't
like
was
being
away
from
Mum
and
me.
If
I
had
known
that
it
was
the
last
time
I
would
see
him,
I
would
have
never
let
him
go,
and
I
would
have
begged
him
not
to
leave.
I
would
have
told
him
that
I
didn't
want
the
guitar
to
stay
in
the
corner
collecting
dust.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
He
would
have
left
anyways,
I
thought.
He
loved
protecting
his
country,
and
he
used
to
say
that
he
did
it
because
he
wanted
me
to
be
safe.

was
getting
late.
I

up
from
the
couch
and
headed
to
bed.

1.B 词义猜测题。根据后文“...but
you
can
escape
this
situation
and
be
in
the
place
where
there
is
nothing
but
relaxation”可知,strained意为“压力大的”。故选B。
2.A 段落大意题。第二段通过有压力的城市生活来反衬德班是一个放松休闲的好去处,A项概括了此意。
3.D 细节理解题。第三段中讲到德班之所以是一个好去处,是因为它所展示出的历史,而这是游客甚至是当地人永远也欣赏不够的,故选D。
4.D 推理判断题。文章最后一段先指出要做好安排,德班的导游都会帮助游客,接着“But”一词进行转折,引出该段所要强调的重点内容:如果想选择到最好的导游可以选择Street
Scene
Tours,故选D。
Ⅱ.七选五
1.F 根据空前一句可知,游览长城有两种选择,这与F项中的Both
approaches相呼应,前后紧密相连,符合逻辑,故选F项。
2.G 由空前的“Obtain
necessary
government
permits
for
a
more
ambitious
independent
hike”可知,这需要一个过程,因此G项符合语境。
3.C 空前一句讲为登长城打包装备并尽量减轻重量,故C项符合语境。
4.D 由空前的“Desert
travel
is
tiring
and
slow?going”可知,此处在讲与沙漠相关的问题,故应选D项。
5.A 由下文中的“Villagers
may
offer
you
meals
and
lodging”“engage
pleasantly
but
carefully
with
local
people”可知,本段的主旨是接受当地人的善意,但要谨慎行事。
Ⅲ.完形填空
1.B'由常识可知当人们初到异国他乡,在举目无亲的情况下,面对陌生的环境心里是担忧的、不安的。故选B。
2.C'根据“at
the
airport”可知他们是乘飞机去的,所以用land“着陆,降落”。故选C。
3.A'由下文可知因为有了这个和善的人的帮助,他们在这个新地方的生活变得很容易,所以此处表示因果关系,故选A。
4.D'根据下文“going
to
the
bank,
in
buying
our
groceries”,可以判断作者和她丈夫是在他的陪同下购物。故选D。
5.B'根据语境“in
telling
us
__5__
to
buy
almost
everything”可知他告诉我们去哪里买东西,此处指买东西的地方,故选B。
6.C'根据下文“During
the
first
get?together”和“During
the
second
get?together”可知是两次。故选C。
7.D'由下文的讲述可知这位好心的“大哥哥”独自在国外八年,通过这种对比可知因为有着丈夫的陪伴,作者深信自己是幸运的。故选D。
8.A'根据上下文可以判断,此处侧重与那位好心人孤身一人在国外居住进行对比,故选A。
9.B'根据下文“he
rarely
sees
his
family...they
are
in
his
home

Ⅴ.写作
参考范文:
He
would
have
left
anyways,
I
thought.
He
loved
protecting
his
country,
and
he
used
to
say
that
he
did
it
because
he
wanted
me
to
be
safe.
The
last
time
he
played
the
guitar
for
me,
he
promised
to
teach
me
how
to
play
it
after
he
came
back.
Then
he
left
again,
the
guitar
standing
there,
collecting
dust!
And
he
couldn't
keep
his
promise
for
every
time.
Mum
went
out,
getting
everything
ready
for
the
funeral.
My
dad
never
came
back
after
serving
his
country.
He
sacrificed
his
life
in
the
war.
It
was
getting
late.
I
stood
up
from
the
couch
and
headed
to
bed.
Halfway
to
my
room,
I
stared
at
the
guitar
again,
taking
it
to
my
room.
I
cleaned
it,
as
if
there
had
never
had
dust
on
it.
It
looked
as
if
Dad
had
never
left.
I
laid
the
guitar
beside
my
bed,
as
if
hearing
Dad
playing
again.
Those
beautiful
notes
flowing
like
a
flowing
river.
“I'm
proud
of
you,
Dad.
You
are
a
hero,
”I
said.
“And
I
will
play
your
guitar
now.”
