五、七选五阅读理解
My husband and I just spent a week in Paris. 1 So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard.It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.
The place wasn’t entirely authentic,though.Unlike a normal Parisian apartment,the plumbing(水管)worked. 2 Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said,“Ouverture des portes,” in perfect French.That is the only French phrase I mastered,and it’s a shame I don’t have much use for it.
Parisians are different from you and me.They never look lazy or untidy.As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago,they eat great food and never gain weight. 3 French strawberries do not taste like cardboard.Instead,they explode in your mouth like little flavour bombs.
4 On our first morning in Paris,I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries.I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon.My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten.But they cost $18!
In France,quality of life is much more important than efficiency(效率).You can tell this by café life.French cafés are always crowded. 5 When do these people work The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously—so seriously that some labour unions recently struck a deal with a group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.
A.Not all the customers are tourists.
B.The quality of life in France is equally excellent.
C.There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.
D.The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.
E.That’s not the only reason the French eat less than we do.
F.Our aim was to see if we could live,in some way,like real Parisians.
G.The food is so delicious that you don’t need much of it to make you happy.

As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica,she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins(企鹅) longing to say hello.These gentle,lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.
Ever since her childhood,Ginni,now 71,has had a deep love for travel.Throughout her career(职业) as a professional dancer,she toured in the UK,but always longed to explore further.When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest,she decided it was time to take the plunge.
After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts,Ginni began to travel the world,eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile.And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego,the southernmost tip of the South American mainland.“I just decided I wanted to go,” she says.“I had no idea about what I’d find there and I wasn’t nervous,I just wanted to do it.And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.”
In March 2008,Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she’d never met before,to begin the journey towards Antarctica.“From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises,the whole experience was amazing.Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has,”Ginni says.“I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale;it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us.You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.”
The realization that this is a precious land,to be respected by humans,was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.
4.Which of the following best explains “take the plunge” underlined in paragraph 2
A.Try challenging things.
B.Take a degree.
C.Bring back lost memories.
D.Stick to a promise.
答案A
解析词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“has had a deep love for travel”以及“her sons eventually flew the nest”可知,Ginni从小就热爱旅行并且儿子们都自立门户了,自己可以去尝试有挑战的事情了。故选A项。
5.What made Ginni decide on the trip to Antarctica
A.Lovely penguins.
B.Beautiful scenery.
C.A discount fare.
D.A friend’s invitation.
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据第三段第二句“And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica...”以及第三句中的“I just decided I wanted to go”可知,在智利她买到了去往南极洲的廉价船票,然后她决定去南极。C项意为“打折票”,符合题意。故选C项。
6.What does Ginni think about Antarctica after the journey
A.It could be a home for her.
B.It should be easily accessible.
C.It should be well preserved.
D.It needs to be fully introduced.
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The realization that this is a precious land,to be respected by humans...”可知,它应该被很好地保护。注意 “hit home to sb” 意为“切中要害,使人接受”,不指“家”的概念。 故选C项。
7.What is the text mainly about
A.A childhood dream.
B.An unforgettable experience.
C.Sailing around the world.
D.Meeting animals in Antarctica.
答案B
解析主旨大意题。文章从第一段就提到Ginni去了南极洲,第二段讲述了她去旅行的前提条件,第三段讲述机缘巧合她决定去南极洲旅行,最后两段主要说明Ginni去南极洲旅游的印象和感受。旅行和南极洲贯穿了全文,且文章第一段最后一句提到了“Ginni永远不会忘记的一次旅途”可知,一次难忘的经历最合适。 故选B项。Section Ⅱ Learning About Language

We all know that theme parks are places to have fun and amuse ourselves,but among so many exciting rides there are also some dangers.Make sure you know what the safety standards are for all the attractions at the park.If you do that,you will be safe and have fun.
Drink water.Believe it or not,dehydration—when your body doesn’t have enough water—is the commonest cause of injuries at theme parks.Drinking water while you are at the park is not enough.You must make sure that you drink enough water before your visit.
Use your “common sense”.There are lots of people around,so make sure where your friends or family are.Also,if you are walking and want to stop,make sure nobody is walking behind you.First step aside,then look behind and if you aren’t in anybody’s way,then stop.It might sound exaggerated(夸张的),but crashes between people can cause accidents.
Follow the instructions.The majority of theme parks have instructions for each ride.Some rides only allow people of a certain height.So make sure you are not too tall or too short before boarding any ride.Also,people with certain diseases or conditions are advised not to go on some rides.Do remember:If you are told not to go on a ride,then DON’T.
Do not ride with a bad stomach or if you’ve just eaten.Rides can make you ill because of their violent changes of direction and your lunch may end up on someone else’s head:surely not a very pleasant experience.
Have fun,relax,and be a little brave!
1.What is the leading reason for injuries at theme parks
A.Snow. B.Dehydration.
C.Fire. D.Crashes.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据第二段中的“...dehydration—when your body doesn’t have enough water—is the commonest cause of injuries at theme parks.”可知,脱水——当你的身体没有足够的水时——是主题公园里最常见的受伤原因,也就是说脱水是在主题公园里受伤的主要原因。故选B项。
2.Which of the following will the author accept
A.Children should not play in theme parks.
B.One shouldn’t eat anything before riding.
C.One must always stay with his friends or family in theme parks.
D.One must read the instructions before playing in theme parks.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Follow the instructions.The majority of theme parks have instructions for each ride.”可知,游玩时要遵循指示说明,大多数主题公园对每一个游乐设施都有说明,因此作者会同意在主题公园玩耍前,必须要认真看一下指示说明。故选D项。
3.According to the author, .
A.it doesn’t pay to go to theme parks
B.men are more interested in theme parks than women
C.people can have lots of fun in theme parks
D.shy people should not go to theme parks
答案C

How to Plan a Holiday Trip
Each year,millions of people load up the family car and set out on a holiday trip.Whether it’s to grandma’s house,a family reunion or simply a holiday getaway,these yearly road trips can often be the source of tiredness and stress.The thought of being trapped in the car with restless children or the possibility of car trouble along the way is enough to make anyone consider staying home. 1
Plan out the route for your car trip.If you’re planning on driving to your holiday destination,a little planning can help make your trip easy. 2 Remember,it’s likely that you won’t be the only person on the road during the holidays,and traffic is always a factor.Alternate routes or shortcuts can help reduce time spent in traffic jams and get you to your destination sooner.
3 Although travelling by air can be quick and convenient,it can also be much more expensive.Start planning your trip early to take advantage of advance purchase discounts.Many airlines become extremely busy during the holidays,so booking in advance can also help ensure that you get the flights that you want.
Consider your luggage needs.Before you begin packing,think about how many people will be in your car and how much room they will need to travel comfortably.This could affect the number of bags that you can take along. 4 Not only is the possibility of lost luggage a problem,but most airlines now charge extra for checked baggage.For a family of four,carrying a few bags each could result in several hundred dollars worth of baggage fees during your trip. 5
A.As an alternative to driving or flying,check into the possibility of travelling by train.
B.Plan your trip to avoid peak travel times.
C.Luckily,with a little planning,these situations can be avoided.
D.Book airline tickets in advance.
E.Try to pack as lightly as possible.
F.For travelling by air,the number of bags that you take is a much bigger concern.
G.Consider your starting point and desired destination,and investigate several possible routes.
