答案与解析
一个小女孩家住山上，在院子里玩耍时，她经常能看到山谷对面的房子，那房子金光闪闪，漂亮极了。有一天，小女孩有机会走近那座房子，失望地发现不过如此。回头望望自家的房子，金光闪闪，好看极了！
16．C　根据句首的usually一词可知，小女孩经常在她家的小花园里玩耍。would表示过去的习惯性动作，相当于used to“老是；总是”。
17．B　前后两个句子之间存在转折关系，所以选择although，表示虽然小女孩热爱自己的父母和自己的家，但是她对山谷对面的房子充满了憧憬和渴望。
18．A　根据上文she desired to live in such a house可知，小女孩整天梦想着那栋漂亮房子里面的精彩生活。dream about“梦想，向往”。
19．C　分析句子结构可知，代词it在此处是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式to live there。
20．D　根据语境可知，随着年龄的增长，小女孩有了基本的技能和识别力，所以要求变高了。
21．A　根据下文可知，小女孩的妈妈最终答应了她的请求，显然此处表示她请求妈妈允许她骑着自行车到花园外面去。
22．B　第一段第二句提到，小女孩以前总是在自己的小花园里玩，现在她长大了，渴望外面的世界，所以请求自己到花园外面去看看。
23．A　根据语境可知，妈妈答应了小女孩的请求，但是一个劲儿地嘱咐她就在自己家房子附近玩。insist on“坚持”； rely on“依靠；依赖”；argue about“争论；辩论”； wonder about“想知道；对……感到奇怪”。
24．C　根据上文出现的a bike ride可知，小女孩骑自行车出去玩，所以妈妈嘱咐她不要骑得太远。
25．C　根据上下文内容可知，小女孩像出笼的小鸟一样兴奋，她心里早就确切地知道自己想去哪里。
26．B　根据第一段第一句可知，小女孩家住在山上，所以她首先要下山，穿过山谷，才能到达山谷对面。
27．D　根据下文内容可知，小女孩骑着自行车来到那栋金色房子的大门口。
28．B　as在此处引导时间状语从句，表示当小女孩从自行车上下来，并把自行车停靠在大门口的柱子上时，她的眼睛就盯着通往房子的那条小路看……。
29．C　lead to“通往；通向”，小女孩首先盯着通往房子的那条小路看，然后盯着房子本身。
30．D　根据语境可知，当小女孩走到近前发现了事物的真相，她感到非常失望。
31．C　plain“简单的；平常的”，与第一段第三句中的shining golden windows形成鲜明对比。
32．D　根据下文的heart-broken可知，看到真相后小女孩的梦想破灭了，她十分难过，十分伤心。
33．A　根据下文内容可知，当小女孩无意中一转身，突然，她看到了令人惊叹的一幅景象。turn around“转身”； cheer up“高兴起来； 振作起来”； settle down“定居；平息”； drop in“顺便拜访”。
34．D　下文的句子所描述的是一幅美丽的景象，就像小女孩站在自己家看到的山谷对面的景象一样。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
(2013·江西卷)
One might expect that the ever-growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but good for the countries that receive the holiday-makers, indeed, a rosy picture is painted for the long-term future of the holiday industry. Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere. And every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as the “last paradise (天堂) on earth”．
However, the scale and speed of this growth seem to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. In those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of sea-side holidays, over-crowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal.
Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most. In recent years, Nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund developments in health and education. Its forests, full of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise. In fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holiday makers traveling through the forest land. Ancient tracks became major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploitation of precious trees and plants.
Not only can the environment of a country suffer from the sudden growth of tourism. The people as well rapidly feel its effects. Farmland makes way for hotels, roads and airports；the old way of life goes. The one-time farmer is now the servant of some multi-national organization; he is no longer his own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain；now it is his smile that is exploited. No doubt he wonders whether he wasn't happier in his village working his own land.
Thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive its customers. The protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financial support from tourist companies. At the same time, tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people.
The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. Their needs and problems are more important than those of the tourist companies. Increased understanding in planning world-wide tourism can preserve the market for these companies. If not, in a few years' time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed.
本文为议论文，题材是世界和环境类。众所周知旅游业可以给当地经济发展带来无限商机，尤其是一些欠发达国家和地区。但是盲目无序地发展旅游业也会给当地环境带来危害，甚至是致命危害。那我们该怎么平衡旅游业和环保之间的关系呢？
36．What does the author indicate in the last sentence of Paragraph 1?
A. The Pacific island is a paradise.
B. The Pacific island is worth visiting.
C. The advertisement is not convincing.
D. The advertisement is not impressive.
答案与解析　C　推理判断题。第一段中作者描述：每个月都会看到某个地方在建一座新宾馆，每个月都会看到太平洋中的某个小岛打出广告：这儿是世上最后的一处天堂。由作者的语气我们可以推断出这样的广告已经没有什么说服力了，故选C项。
37．The example of Nepal is used to suggest ________.
A. its natural resources are untouched
B. its forests are exploited for farmland
C. it develops well in health and education
D. it suffers from the heavy flow of tourists
答案与解析　D　推理判断题。第三段作者引用了尼泊尔发展旅游业为例，其初衷是为当地的教育和卫生事业提供资金，但是很快这儿的人文自然环境就受到了旅游业的影响。现在这个国家正经受着旅游业带来的痛苦，故选D项。
38．What can we learn about the farmers from Paragraph 4?
A. They are happy to work their own lands.
B. They have to please the tourists for a living.
C. They have to struggle for their independence.
D. They are proud of working in multi-national
organizations.
答案与解析　B　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Once it was his back that bore the pain; now it is his smile that is exploited.”过去是他的脊背在承受痛苦，现在是人们开发利用他的微笑推断出现在他们为了谋生不得不用自已的微笑来取悦游客，故选B项。
39．Which of the following determines the future of tourism?
A. The number of tourists.
B. The improvement of services.
C. The promotion of new products.
D. The management of tourism.
答案与解析　D　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第二句，野生生物的保护，国家公园的创建要和旅游业的发展同时进行，又根据倒数第一段第一句，未来十年，如何管理旅游业将决定旅游业和我们要去参观的国家的命运。由此可推断出D项符合题意。
