五年高考练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2023全国乙,B)
Living in Iowa and trying to become a photographer specializing in landscape(风景) can be quite a challenge, mainly because the corn state lacks geographical variation.
Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar, either farm fields or highways, sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes. To make some of my landscape shots, I have traveled up to four hours away to shoot within a 10-minute time frame. I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way.
Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography. I often leave early to seek the right destinations so I can set up early to avoid missing the moment I am attempting to photograph. I have missed plenty of beautiful sunsets/sunrises due to being on the spot only five minutes before the best moment.
One time my friends and I drove three hours to Devil's Lake, Wisconsin, to climb the purple quartz(石英) rock around the lake. After we found a crazy-looking road that hung over a bunch of rocks, we decided to photograph the scene at sunset. The position enabled us to look over the lake with the sunset in the background. We managed to leave this spot to climb higher because of the spare time until sunset. However, we did not mark the route(路线) so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely. Once we found the place, it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time. Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely.

Going to Mount Huangshan reminds me of the popular Beatles' song “The Long and Winding Road”. 1 is so breathtaking about the experience is the out-of-this-world scenes. The rolling sea of clouds you see once you are at the top will remind you how tiny we 2 (human)are.
The hot spring at the foot of the mountain is something you must try after the climb. It will 3 (undoubted)help you get refreshed! The amazing thing about the spring is that the colder the temperature gets, the 4 (hot) the spring! Strange, isn't it But that's how nature is—always leaving us 5 (astonish).
What comes next is the endless series of steps. You can't help wondering how hard it 6 (be) for the people then to put all those rocks into place. Though it is the only unnatural thing on your way up the mountain, still it highlights the whole adventure 7 offers a place where you can sit down to rest your 8 (ache)legs.
As the song goes, this long and winding road “will never disappear”, and it will always stick in the visitor's memory. It sure does in 9 (I). While you're in China, Mount Huangshan is 10 must to visit!

答案与分层梯度式解析
五年高考练
Ⅰ.◎语篇解读 本文是记叙文,主要讲述了作者作为一名风景摄影爱好者,克服困难拍出高质量风景照的经过。
1.B 细节理解题。本题问的是作者是如何应对中西部地区风景摄影师所面临的挑战的。the challenge指的是第一段中的“the corn state lacks geographical variation(艾奥瓦州缺少地理差异)”。再结合题干关键词in the Midwest可定位到第二段。根据“I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way.”可知,作者通过去州立公园或乡村拍摄照片来应对这一挑战。故选B。
2.A 细节理解题。题干中的the key与第三段第一句中的decisive同义。根据“Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography.”可知,在合适的时间到达合适的地点是至关重要的。再结合最后一段作者去魔鬼湖(Devil's Lake)拍摄照片留下遗憾的经历可知,风景摄影成功的关键是恰当的时间管理。故选A。
3.C 推理判断题。根据题干关键词the author's trip with friends to Devil's Lake可定位到最后一段。根据“We managed to leave this spot to climb higher because of the spare time until sunset. However, we did not mark the route so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely. Once we found the place, it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time.”可知,作者认为时间宽裕,就离开既定的拍摄地点往更高的地方爬了,结果忘记了返回的正确路线,差点错过了要拍摄的落日。由此可推知,他们到达拍摄地点的时间要比预计的晚。故选C。
4.B 推理判断题,考查作者的观点态度。根据最后一段最后一句“Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely.”可知,作者认为,尽管他可以把照片拍得更好,但现在这些照片仍然是自己拍得最好的。由此可推知,这些照片是令作者满意的(satisfying)。故选B。
长难句
原句 Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely.
分析 现在分词短语“looking back on the photos”作状语;though引导让步状语从句,从句中包含一个虚拟条件句。
译文 回顾这些照片,它们仍然是我拍得最好的一些照片,尽管如果我做好准备并合理管理我的时间的话,它们可以拍得更好。

Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文为记叙文。作者主要描述了自己游览黄山的经历。
1.What 考查名词性从句。句意:这次经历的激动人心之处在于这个世界之外的景色。“ is so breathtaking about the experience”为主语从句,该从句中缺少主语,且设空处表示“事物”,故填What。
2.humans 考查名词的“数”。句意:一旦你站在山顶上,你看到的滚滚云海会提醒你,我们人类是多么渺小。设空处作“we”的同位语,且设空处后的谓语动词是“are”,由此可知,设空处需填名词复数形式,故填humans。
3.undoubtedly 考查副词。句意:毫无疑问,它会帮助你恢复精力!设空处作状语,需用副词形式,故填undoubtedly。
4.hotter 考查形容词。句意:这个温泉的神奇之处在于(周围环境的)温度越低,这个温泉的温度就越高!根据本句中的“the colder the temperature gets”可知在设空处填hotter。
5.astonished 考查非谓语动词作宾补。句意:但是大自然就是这样——总是让我们惊讶。设空处作宾补,意为:感到惊讶的,故填astonished。
6.was 考查时态。句意:你会不禁想到当时的人们把那些石头铺好是多么困难。根据本句中的“for the people then to put all those rocks into place”可推知设空处介绍的是过去的情况,需用一般过去时,故填was。
7.and 考查连词。句意:虽然这是你在上山路上见到的唯一非自然景观,但它仍然是整个险途中的亮点,并给(由于爬山)腿疼的旅客提供了一个歇脚的地方。设空处前后的谓语动词“highlights”与“offers”为递进关系,故填并列连词and。
8.aching 考查非谓语动词作定语。设空处作定语,修饰legs。被修饰词legs与ache为逻辑上的主动关系,故填现在分词aching。
9.mine 考查代词。正如歌中所唱,这条漫长并曲折的道路“永远不会消失”,它将永远留在游客的记忆中。它当然也会留在“我”的记忆中。设空处填mine代替my memory。
10.a 考查冠词。句意:当你在中国的时候,黄山是一定要去参观的!设空处后的must为名词,意为:必须做的事。在本句中must表示泛指,需与不定冠词连用,故填a。
【高考词汇站】 1.激动人心的;惊人的 2.极好的;超凡脱俗的 3.refreshed 4.unnatural 5.突出;强调
6.泉 7.必须做(或看、买等)的事
