Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2022全国乙,B)
In 1916, two girls of wealthy families, best friends from Auburn, N.Y.—Dorothy Woodruff and Rosamond Underwood—traveled to a settlement in the Rocky Mountains to teach in a one room schoolhouse. The girls had gone to Smith College. They wore expensive clothes. So for them to move to Elkhead, Colo. to instruct the children whose shoes were held together with string was a surprise. Their stay in Elkhead is the subject of Nothing Daunted:The Unexpected Education of Two Society Girls in the West by Dorothy Wickenden, who is a magazine editor and Dorothy Woodruff’s granddaughter.
Why did they go then Well, they wanted to do something useful. Soon, however, they realized what they had undertaken.
They moved in with a local family, the Harrisons, and, like them, had little privacy, rare baths, and a blanket of snow on their quilt when they woke up in the morning. Some mornings, Rosamond and Dorothy would arrive at the schoolhouse to find the children weeping from the cold. In spring, the snow was replaced by mud over ice.
In Wickenden’s book, she expanded on the history of the West and also on feminism, which of course influenced the girls’ decision to go to Elkhead. A hair raising section concerns the building of the railroads, which entailed(牵涉) drilling through the Rockies, often in blinding snowstorms. The book ends with Rosamond and Dorothy’s return to Auburn.
Wickenden is a very good storyteller. The sweep of the land and the stoicism(坚忍) of the people move her to some beautiful writing. Here is a picture of Dorothy Woodruff, on her horse, looking down from a hill top:“When the sun slipped behind the mountains, it shed a rosy glow all around them. Then a full moon rose. The snow was marked only by small animals: foxes, coyotes, mice, and varying hares, which turned white in the winter.”

Ⅰ.◎语篇解读 本文为一则书评。书中讲述了两名来自富裕家庭的女孩前往落基山脉的一处定居点教书的经历。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句中的“traveled to a settlement in the Rocky Mountains to teach in a one room schoolhouse”可知,这两位女孩去落基山脉是为了在当地一所学校教书。故选A。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“had little privacy, rare baths, and a blanket of snow on their quilt”可知,她们在当地生活得很艰苦,故选D。易错归因 本题易错选C项。虽然第三段第一句提到她们搬到了当地一户人家居住,但是并没有说是和当地的孩子住在一起,所以C项不正确。
3.C 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句中的“A hair raising section concerns the building of the railroads”可知,书中最令人毛骨悚然的是关于在落基山脉修建铁路的故事,故选C。
4.B 推理判断题。根据问题和选项可知,此题考查文章类型,可通过文章主要内容推断。通读文章,由第一段最后一句、第四段和第五段的第一句可知,文章从主题、作者、内容和评价方面介绍了Nothing Daunted: The Unexpected Education of Two Society Girls in the West这本书。由此可知这是一篇书评,故选B。类比启发 常见文章类型:介绍和评价电影的文章是a film review;介绍他人生平事迹的文章是a biography;介绍自己生平事迹的文章是an autobiography。
长难句 原句1 So for them to move to Elkhead, Colo. to instruct the children whose shoes were held together with string was a surprise.
分析 本句是主从复合句。“to move to...string”是不定式短语作主语;“whose shoes were held together with string”为whose引导的定语从句,修饰先行词children。
译文 所以,对她们来说,搬到科罗拉多州的埃尔克海德去教导那些用细绳把鞋子绑到一起的孩子们是一个惊喜。
原句2 They moved in with a local family, the Harrisons, and, like them, had little privacy, rare baths, and a blanket of snow on their quilt when they woke up in the morning.
分析 “the Harrisons”是“a local family”的同位语;第一个and连接两个并列的谓语动词moved和had;when引导时间状语从句。
译文 她们搬到了当地的一户人家,哈里森一家家里,而且像他们一样,她们几乎没有隐私,很少洗澡,当他们早晨醒来时被子上有一层雪。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位盲人在朋友的陪伴下徒步40天从北京走到了西安并沿途做环保的经历。
1.to journey 考查非谓语动词。此处journey是动词,意为“沿……旅行”,由于本句已出现谓语hiked,此处应用不定式作定语,修饰“a first step”。
2.who 考查定语从句。设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为人,关系词在从句中作主语,故用who。
3.held 考查非谓语动词。hold与前面的“the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation”构成逻辑上的被动关系,因此用过去分词held作后置定语。
4.A 考查冠词。空后有单数可数名词“friend”,设空处表示“一个”,故用不定冠词a;设空处在句首,要大写。
5.protection 考查名词。“environmental”为形容词,修饰名词,故填protect的名词形式。environmental protection意为“环境保护”。
6.meaningful 考查形容词。“make the hiking trip even more ”是“make+宾语+宾语补足语”结构,结合空前的“even more”可知用形容词meaningful作宾语补足语。
7.has walked 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。由前面的时间状语“In the last five years”可知,此处要用现在完成时,主语为第三人称单数,故填has walked。
8.highest 考查形容词最高级。由语境和常识可知,此处用highest表示“非洲最高的山”。
9.from 考查介词。此处表示从出发地到目的地,应用“from...to...”结构。
10.planning 考查非谓语动词。本句已有谓语flew, 此空作伴随状语,plan与He为逻辑上的主动关系,故填planning。
