Ⅳ. 阅读理解
(A)
One summer my friend and I decided to go to Italy for a holiday and we decided to travel there without going through a travel agency. You know, you would be submerged (淹没) in crowds of tourists and lose lots of opportunities to get familiar with the country more closely. We started to think over our trip and managed to come up with a free tour of Italy.
The trip was not very long but it was still very impressive(印象深刻的). We look forward to going there again! Of course, we spent lots of time arranging(安排) the trip, but it was well worth it! Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was especially anxious about my visa(签证), but everything went quite smoothly in the end.
The most difficult part was getting a visa without an invitation. In the Italian consulate(领事馆), one must hand in some official paper proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself in order to get the visa. Then we had to solve the ticket problem. Airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far in advance. The next step was to book a hotel. We finally booked a hotel about 30km away from the heart of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip.
Every day we took a train that carried us to the heart of Rome. Our big house, which was surrounded by the forest, was a rare place for the fresh air and absolute silence, beautiful views, hospitable hosts, comfortable living conditions delighting us to no end. Besides this, we were very lucky that our mistress was a Russian. She gave us a lot of advice that was of great use. She told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go.
Don’t be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself. It’s not difficult! The only thing I’ll say right now is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves. We walked with a map and a guide-book to wherever we wanted and we even met some of our fellow countrymen on the way just two or three times. So, if you’re also planning a “single” trip, don’t forget to take a Russian-Italian phrasebook as people in Italy prefer to speak in their native tongue.
【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文, 讲述了作者和他的朋友策划的意大利之行。文章介绍了旅游前的准备工作, 如自己取得签证, 还有在意大利旅游时当地的住宿条件, 以及自己策划意大利之游的优点以及感受。
1. Why does the author want to go to Italy again
A. He had a great time there.
B. Italy has a lot of attractions.
C. His friend invited him there.
D. He didn’t stay in Italy long enough.
【解析】选A。细节判断题。根据第二段 “The trip was not very long but it was still very impressive. We look forward to going there again! ”结合第四段的内容以及最后一段中的“The only thing I’ll say right now is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves. ”可知, 意大利之行他们玩得很尽兴, 给他们留下了深刻的印象, 所以想再去意大利, 因此选A。
2. What does the author think was the hardest in preparing for his Italian trip
A. Buying cheap airline tickets to Italy before the traveling.
B. Getting a visa without an invitation from the Italian consulate.
C. Booking a comfortable hotel on his own in Rome.
D. Solving the ticket problem far in advance.
【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第三段的第一句“The most difficult part was getting a visa without an invitation. ”可知, 最难的事情是在没有邀请函的情况下向意大利大使馆申请签证, 因此选择B。A、C、D虽然文中都涉及到了, 但是都不符合题干。
3. In the fourth paragraph the author mainly explains ______ .
A. the reason why he chose to live in the center of Rome
B. the reason why the hotel he booked was the right choice
C. what transport they chose to travel in their Italian trip
D. the reason why the mistress gave them some advice
【解析】选B。主旨大意题。根据第四段对旅馆周围环境、交通情况以及该旅馆的好处的介绍, 可知作者在第四段主要讲对旅馆满意的原因。
4. From the text we can know the author ______ .
A. enjoys traveling everywhere in the world
B. likes being accompanied by tour guides
C. advises us to arrange trips by ourselves
D. met with a lot of his countrymen in Italy
【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容, 尤其是第一段说不想在旅游团的拥挤的人群中, 也不想错过更多亲近意大利的机会, 以及最后一段的“Don’t be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself. ”可以推断出应该选择C。其余选项没有依据。
(B)
Hidden in our subconsciousness(潜意识)is a perfect mental picture. We see ourselves on a long trip that goes across the continent. We are traveling by train. Out of the windows, we think in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle feeding on a distant hillside , of smoke pouring from a power plant, or row upon row of corn and wheat, of flat lands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hills, of city skylines and village halls.
But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw(拼图)puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles(通道), condemning the minutes for loitering—waiting, waiting for the station.
“When we reach the station, that will be it! ”we cry. “When I’m 38. ”“When I buy a new 450SL Mercedes Benz! ”“When I put the last kid through college. ”“When I have paid off the installment! ”“When I get a promotion. ”“When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after! ”
Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.
“Relish (appreciate) the moment” is a good motto, actually it isn’t the burdens of today that drive man mad. It is the regret over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.
So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles, Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice creams, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more and cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. Then the station will come soon enough.
【文章大意】人生犹如旅行, 重要的是旅途的过程和沿途的风景, 而不是旅行的目的地。不要悔恨过去, 也不要恐惧未来, 对人生我们要有正确的态度。
5. Why does the author describe the mental picture
A. To lead us into a perfect world.
B. To let people enjoy the scenery.
C. To introduce an actual trip of his.
D. To compare it to our life’s journey.
【解析】选D。在第一段, 作者详细描述了我们潜意识中在旅行途中看到的美景, 但接下来两段描述了现实生活中我们注重目的地的事实。由此可知作者描述这幅心灵图像是为了将现实旅行与其进行对比。
6. How do people feel when they’re on their trip
A. Puzzled. B. Happy.
C. Relaxed. D. Impatient.
【解析】选D。推理判断题。从第二段的“How restlessly we pace the aisles. . . ”可以了解人们经过通道时的那种焦躁不安的情绪, 据此选D项。puzzled表示“迷惑的”; happy表示“高兴的”; relaxed表示“放松的”。
7. What does the author mean by “Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today. ”in Paragraph 5
A. Regret and fear are responsible for the loss of today.
B. We must be careful of the two thieves: regret and fear.
C. Regret and fear stop us from enjoying our present life.
D. We’re frequently challenged by the two thieves: regret and fear.
【解析】选C。细节理解题。由全文倒数第二段中的“It is the regret over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. ”可知, 对过去的懊悔和对未来的恐惧使得人们无法享受现在, 所以C项是对划线句的最佳解释。
8. Why does the author write the passage
A. To teach us a good lesson.
B. To tell us the right attitude to life.
C. To advise us to forget our worries.
D. To stop us wandering along the aisles.
【解析】选B。主旨大意题。本文中作者试图告诉人们要树立正确的人生观, 不要懊悔过去, 也不要恐惧未来, 而要好好珍惜、享受现在。所以B项是作者的写作意图。

One summer my friend and I decided to go to Italy for a holiday and we decided to travel there without going through a travel agency. You know, you would be submerged (淹没) in crowds of tourists and lose lots of opportunities to get familiar with the country more closely. We started to think over our trip and managed to come up with a free tour of Italy.
The trip was not very long but it was still very impressive（印象深刻的）. We look forward to going there again! Of course, we spent lots of time arranging（安排） the trip, but it was well worth it! Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was especially anxious about my visa(签证）, but everything went quite smoothly in the end.
The most difficult part was getting a visa without an invitation. In the Italian consulate(领事馆), one must hand in some official paper proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself in order to get the visa. Then we had to solve the ticket problem. Airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far in advance. The next step was to book a hotel. We finally booked a hotel about 30km away from the heart of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip.
Every day we took a train that carried us to the heart of Rome. Our big house, which was surrounded by the forest, was a rare place for the fresh air and absolute silence, beautiful views, hospitable hosts, comfortable living conditions delighting us to no end. Besides this, we were very lucky that our mistress was a Russian. She gave us a lot of advice that was of great use. She told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go.
Don’t be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself. It’s not difficult! The only thing I’ll say right now is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves. We walked with a map and a guide-book to wherever we wanted and we even met some of our fellow countrymen on the way just two or three times. So, if you’re also planning a “single” trip, don’t forget to take a Russian-Italian phrasebook as people in Italy prefer to speak in their native tongue.

(B)
Hidden in our subconsciousness(潜意识)is a perfect mental picture. We see ourselves on a long trip that goes across the continent. We are traveling by train. Out of the windows, we think in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle feeding on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, or row upon row of corn and wheat, of flat lands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hills, of city skylines and village halls.
But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw(拼图)puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles(通道)，condemning the minutes for loitering—waiting, waiting for the station.
“When we reach the station, that will be it! ”we cry. “When I’m 38. ”“When I buy a new 450SL Mercedes Benz! ”“When I put the last kid through college. ”“When I have paid off the installment! ”“When I get a promotion. ”“When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after! ”
Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.
“Relish (appreciate) the moment” is a good motto, actually it isn’t the burdens of today that drive man mad. It is the regret over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.
So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles, Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice creams, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more and cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. Then the station will come soon enough.
【文章大意】人生犹如旅行，重要的是旅途的过程和沿途的风景，而不是旅行的目的地。不要悔恨过去，也不要恐惧未来，对人生我们要有正确的态度。
5. Why does the author describe the mental picture
A. To lead us into a perfect world.
B. To let people enjoy the scenery.
C. To introduce an actual trip of his.
D. To compare it to our life’s journey.
【解析】选D。在第一段，作者详细描述了我们潜意识中在旅行途中看到的美景，但接下来两段描述了现实生活中我们注重目的地的事实。由此可知作者描述这幅心灵图像是为了将现实旅行与其进行对比。
6. How do people feel when they’re on their trip
A. Puzzled. B. Happy.
C. Relaxed. D. Impatient.
【解析】选D。推理判断题。从第二段的“How restlessly we pace the aisles. . . ”可以了解人们经过通道时的那种焦躁不安的情绪，据此选D项。puzzled表示“迷惑的”；happy表示“高兴的”；relaxed表示“放松的”。
7. What does the author mean by “Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today. ”in Paragraph 5
A. Regret and fear are responsible for the loss of today.
B. We must be careful of the two thieves: regret and fear.
C. Regret and fear stop us from enjoying our present life.
D. We’re frequently challenged by the two thieves: regret and fear.
【解析】选C。细节理解题。由全文倒数第二段中的“It is the regret over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. ”可知，对过去的懊悔和对未来的恐惧使得人们无法享受现在，所以C项是对划线句的最佳解释。
8. Why does the author write the passage
A. To teach us a good lesson.
B. To tell us the right attitude to life.
C. To advise us to forget our worries.
D. To stop us wandering along the aisles.
【解析】选B。主旨大意题。本文中作者试图告诉人们要树立正确的人生观，不要懊悔过去，也不要恐惧未来，而要好好珍惜、享受现在。所以B项是作者的写作意图。
