分析人物形象，理解小说主题
本文节选自埃德加·爱伦·坡的短篇小说《莫斯肯旋涡沉浮记》。短篇小说通常选取和描绘富有典型意义的生活片段，极力刻画主要人物的性格特征，反映社会生活的某一侧面或生活内容，使读者能“借一斑略知全豹”。阅读时注意通过人物的肖像、语言、行为和心理活动来分析人物形象，以便更深刻地理解小说反映的主题。本文描述了主人公和两个兄弟在海洋上遭遇大旋涡的故事，其中第三、四段通过细致的场景描写和心理描写刻画了主人公在自然灾害前的心理变化，由恐惧到镇定并积极思考施以自救，最终安全脱险，教育读者应该敬畏大自然，增强对自然灾害的防御意识、防御能力和生命意识。
(一)赏开头之美
One day, my two brothers and I were coming back from the islands where we often risked going and got more fish than others.
赏析：句中使用的时间名词one day是讲故事时的常用词，类似的有long long ago及once upon a time等。用在此处点明故事发生的时间，同时也为后文叙述故事做好铺垫。
(二)赏用词之妙
1. About three years ago, something terrible happened to me.
赏析：句中使用的something terrible形象地描述了作者经历的一次可怕事件，使读者身临其境，并引发其对下文的阅读兴趣。
2．I began to think how amazing a thing it was to die in such a way, and how wonderful it was to see the power of nature.Suddenly, we went over the edge.I thought my life was over.But moment after moment passed, and I was still safe.
赏析：句中使用的形容词amazing形象地描述了作者当时的心理活动，同时也刻画了他对死亡的看法。副词suddenly及连词but为事件的逆转埋下伏笔，作者本以为会死去，但时间一分一秒过去了，他却依然安全。die、over、safe串联了事件的进展。
[提能训练] (完成句子)
①________________________________________________________________________ to have such a shift!
能够有这样的转变是多么地令人惊奇！
②I could tell by the look on her face that ____________________________________.
我从她的脸色可以判断，可怕的事情发生了。
(三)赏句式之高
1. That was the day when it took only six hours to break my body and soul.
赏析：句中when引导定语从句，修饰先行词the day。从句使用了“It takes (sb.) some time to do sth.”结构，表示“做某事花费了(某人)多长时间”，其中it是形式主语，真正的主语是不定式。该句表示作者的身体和灵魂只用了六个小时就支离破碎了，形容他所遭遇事情的可怕程度。
2．As you can see, the reason why I'm here to tell the story is that I made the right decision.
赏析：句中As引导非限制性定语从句，意为“正如，正像”；the reason why ... is that ...意为“……的原因是……”，其中why引导定语从句，修饰先行词the reason，that引导表语从句。该句说明正因为作者做了正确的决定，才能死里逃生。
[提能训练] (同义句转换/一句多译)
①The reason why he was late was that his car was held up.
→The reason ____________________ was that his car was held up.
②他每天花半小时的时间锻炼。
→________________________________________________________________________
→________________________________________________________________________
(四)赏描摹之韵
1. (动作描写)All at once, the sky was covered with dark clouds and in less than a minute we were in a terrible storm.A huge wave covered our boat and my younger brother fell into the sea.My elder brother put his mouth close to my ear and cried out “Moskoe strom！” The moment I heard the word I became very frightened.
赏析：在大海深处，伴随着极端的天气，船又被巨浪吞没，此时对于任何人来说都只有惶恐不安。文中一系列的动作描写为后文人物的心理描写做铺垫，入情入理，值得回味。
2. (场景描写)Soon after that, the whirlpool became less wild.Then the sky was clear, the wind calmer, and the moon was shining.
赏析：狂风暴雨之后，一切都归于平静，文中对大海环境的描述更加突出了大自然变幻莫测的特点，同时也反映了作者前后的心理变化，相互映衬，合情合理。
[提能训练](体会并翻译下面动作描写的句子)
①When she laughed, she covered her mouth with her hand to hide the bad tooth.
当她笑的时候，________________________________________________________________________。
②In order not to be heard by his mother, Tom tiptoed into his own room.
为了不被母亲听到，________________________________________________________________________。
(五)赏衔接之顺
The first, the larger the bodies were, the more rapidly they fell; the second, between two objects of equal extent, round objects fell down more rapidly; and the third, between two objects of the same size, objects shaped like a tube fell down more slowly.
赏析：句中the first、the second、the third为表示顺序的逻辑关系词，清晰地描述了作者在危急关头的三个重要发现，这是导致他获救的关键。常见的此类词还有：first, second, third ...; firstly, secondly, thirdly ...; for one thing, for another等。
[提能训练] (完成句子)
， we can't concentrate in class. ， we may get angry and impatient easily.
一方面，我们在课堂上不能集中注意力。另一方面，我们可能很容易生气和不耐烦。

Coast to Coast
Hi Amy，
We made it！My family and I have managed to cross the North American continent, from western to eastern Canada, in two weeks! I can't wait to share the stories with you.
It took us where we wanted, when we wanted. Dad did the driving but he has a poor sense of direction. We got lost a few times even with the help of GPS, but eventually we managed to cross the Rocky Mountains. I was hoping to see a bear or even an eagle, but all I saw was a small group of deer. The views were fantastic, though. There were forests, mountains with snowy tops and masses of ice. It's like another world.
We reached Quebec on the eighth day, where most people speak French. Well, actually, they The funniest thing happened on that day. I'd fallen asleep, when I heard Dad's phone ringing. He was driving, so I answered it. Guess who it was Mum! How did that happen Well, while I was sleeping, Dad stopped for some petrol and Mum also got out to take photos, and you can guess the rest ... She was so mad! To cheer her up, we went to a typical Quebec restaurant for lunch. We had the famous “poutine”， which is a dish of French fries, fresh cheese and a hot brown sauce called “gravy”. It's usually followed by pancakes with maple syrup — delicious!
With love，
Eva

Trip Fun
Thinking about going camping You might want to try one of these campsites for quality and comfort!
Playa Montroig Camping Resort, Tarragona (Spain)
This Spanish campsite is a great family destination, with prices starting from 20 a night. You'll be able to enjoy the beach by day, and you'll have time to explore historic Tarragona in the evenings. The site has restaurants that offer traditional Spanish dishes such as Gambas al Ajillo and Albondigas. For more information, please go to www..
RCN Val de Cantobre, Aveyron (France)
France's number one campsite is in the Grands Causses Regional Natural Park in the Tarn area. The campsite is in the grounds of a medieval house. There's a swimming pool, a river and a pizzeria all on site. The scenery around the park is beautiful and great for walking. A week's stay will cost you about 300. For more information, please go to www. eurocamp.co.uk.
Four Seasons Tented Camp, Golden Triangle (Thailand)
Instead of tents, there are canvas cabins (帆布小屋) with showers and modern conveniences. Plus, there's a gourmet restaurant, a spa and a pool. There are only 15 cabins to rent so you'll have to reserve your spot before availability runs out. The camp is only accessible by riverboat, but once there you can learn to ride an elephant. Unfortunately, this sort of luxury isn't cheap, and two nights at the Four Seasons will cost you about 1,500! For more information, please go to www. /goldentriangle.
Three Cliffs Bay, Gower (Wales)
There is a camp shop where you can buy food and drink, and there are pubs and restaurants nearby so you won't even have to cook. You can waterski from the beach, or go walking along the Gower Way, a 50-kilometre nature trail which passes close to the campsite. A family tent (2 adults, 2 children) is about 28 a day. For more information, please go to www.threecliffsbay.com.

AI has been applied widely in a national park in northwestern China to track snow leopards (雪豹)．
The AI-aided digital toolbox can tell snow leopards in Gansu Province's Qilian Mountains National Park from other wildlife, using images captured by infrared (红外线的) cameras.
Located around 3,500 meters above sea level, the Qilian Mountains, with a large area of bare rocks sticking out from the grass, provide a favorable habitat for snow leopards.Though more than 200 cameras have been fixed in the area, sorting out relevant (有关的) information has not been easy for researchers.“To conduct further studies on the population, distribution and activities of the snow leopards, the cameras capture hundreds of thousands of videos and photos every quarter，”
said Ma Duifang, who works for the Administration Bureau of Qilian Mountains National Park.“Even a slight movement in the environment, such as a pleasant wind blowing over the grass, can trigger (启动) the cameras.Sometimes, curious wildlife knock into the device, triggering the cameras, which take pictures of mere clouds.”Ma and his workmates had to go through each video, and information about the animals that appeared in the images also required human efforts.So it often took them several weeks to complete these tasks.
Thanks to AI technology, researchers in the Qilian Mountains National Park no longer need to rack their brains in search of snow leopards hiding in the wild.“The forest keepers can now locate a snow leopard from 1,000 pictures in only about 20 minutes, much faster than before，” said Huang Xiangqi, one of the technology's developers.“We hope we can combine monitoring data with field investigations to help researchers identify the snow leopards so as to draw up a more specific plan for their protection.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了人工智能辅助技术可以更好、更快地处理数据，从而促进对雪豹的保护。
4．Why is it hard for researchers to sort out relevant information
A．The mountain is high.
B．Snow leopards run too fast.
C．They are badly in short of workmates.
D．There are many irrelevant videos and photos.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Even a slight movement ...take pictures of mere clouds.”可知，摄像机会由于外界影响拍摄到很多没有用的照片，使得研究人员处理相关信息的工作变得困难。
5．How does the AI-aided digital toolbox help the researchers
A．By searching for snow leopards in the forest.
B．By making data processing quicker and easier.
C．By controlling the movements of snow leopards.
D．By recording snow leopards' changing populations.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The forest keepers can now ...one of the technology's developers.”可知，人工智能辅助技术通过提高数据加工过程的效率来帮助这些研究人员。
6．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．Snow Leopard — a Most Important Animal in Gansu
B．Ma Duifang — a Leading Expert in Snow Leopard Study
C．Infrared Camera — a Creative Invention for Wildlife Protection
D．AI-aided Technology — an Effective Helper in Snow Leopard Protection
√
解析：标题归纳题。根据第一段内容以及第二段内容可知，本文讲述的是人工智能辅助技术可以更好、更快地处理数据，从而促进对雪豹的保护。故D项“人工智能辅助技术——雪豹保护的有效助手”适合作为本文标题。
7．What is the text likely to be
A．A news report.
B．A scientific paper.
C．An official document.
D．A product introduction.
解析：推理判断题。根据文章结构及写作特点，尤其是第一段内容可知，这属于新闻的导语。由此推知，本文很有可能是一篇新闻报道。

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
A famous book from the 70s called The Secret Life of Plants says that plants are conscious (有意识的). 8 In one study, plants exposed (裸露) to Mozart were healthier and grew faster than plants exposed to Jimi Hendrix. Some say these studies that claim plants have a taste for music are full of holes. But there is growing research on plant intelligence and plant communication.
Plants don't have brains so they can't think in the same way as humans. 9 They can even communicate this information to nearby plants. Researchers in England cut the leaves of cabbages (卷心菜). The threatened cabbages then produced a poisonous gas that protects themselves from certain insects. 10 Those healthy cabbages nearby seemed to be reacting to a warning from their cabbage neighbors.
11 Of course, plants don't have ears, but some scientists think they can feel vibrations. Italian scientist Dr Gagliano recorded clicking noises produced by corn seedlings (幼苗). She then placed these seedlings in water and played them similar sounds. Curiously, the corn seedlings grew towards the loudspeakers.
12 Whether or not there is an intention to communicate is still up in the air. Whatever the case, plants are stranger and more wonderful than we can imagine.

Thinking about going camping You might want to try one of these campsites for quality and comfort!
Playa Montroig Camping Resort, Tarragona (Spain)
This Spanish campsite is a great family destination, with prices starting from 20 a night. You'll be able to enjoy the beach by day, and you'll have time to explore historic Tarragona in the evenings. The site has restaurants that offer traditional Spanish dishes such as Gambas al Ajillo and Albondigas. For more information, please go to www..
RCN Val de Cantobre, Aveyron (France)
France's number one campsite is in the Grands Causses Regional Natural Park in the Tarn area. The campsite is in the grounds of a medieval house. There's a swimming pool, a river and a pizzeria all on site. The scenery around the park is beautiful and great for walking. A week's stay will cost you about 300. For more information, please go to www. eurocamp.co.uk.
Four Seasons Tented Camp, Golden Triangle (Thailand)
Instead of tents, there are canvas cabins (帆布小屋) with showers and modern conveniences. Plus, there's a gourmet restaurant, a spa and a pool. There are only 15 cabins to rent so you'll have to reserve your spot before availability runs out. The camp is only accessible by riverboat, but once there you can learn to ride an elephant. Unfortunately, this sort of luxury isn't cheap, and two nights at the Four Seasons will cost you about 1,500! For more information, please go to www. /goldentriangle.
Three Cliffs Bay, Gower (Wales)
There is a camp shop where you can buy food and drink, and there are pubs and restaurants nearby so you won't even have to cook. You can waterski from the beach, or go walking along the Gower Way, a 50 kilometre nature trail which passes close to the campsite. A family tent (2 adults, 2 children) is about 28 a day.

AI has been applied widely in a national park in northwestern China to track snow leopards (雪豹)．
The AI aided digital toolbox can tell snow leopards in Gansu Province's Qilian Mountains National Park from other wildlife, using images captured by infrared (红外线的) cameras.
Located around 3,500 meters above sea level, the Qilian Mountains, with a large area of bare rocks sticking out from the grass, provide a favorable habitat for snow leopards.Though more than 200 cameras have been fixed in the area, sorting out relevant (有关的) information has not been easy for researchers.“To conduct further studies on the population, distribution and activities of the snow leopards, the cameras capture hundreds of thousands of videos and photos every quarter，” said Ma Duifang, who works for the Administration Bureau of Qilian Mountains National Park.“Even a slight movement in the environment, such as a pleasant wind blowing over the grass, can trigger (启动) the cameras.Sometimes, curious wildlife knock into the device, triggering the cameras, which take pictures of mere clouds.” Ma and his workmates had to go through each video, and information about the animals that appeared in the images also required human efforts.So it often took them several weeks to complete these tasks.
Thanks to AI technology, researchers in the Qilian Mountains National Park no longer need to rack their brains in search of snow leopards hiding in the wild.“The forest keepers can now locate a snow leopard from 1,000 pictures in only about 20 minutes, much faster than before，” said Huang Xiangqi, one of the technology's developers.“We hope we can combine monitoring data with field investigations to help researchers identify the snow leopards so as to draw up a more specific plan for their protection.”
4．Why is it hard for researchers to sort out relevant information
A．The mountain is high.
B．Snow leopards run too fast.
C．They are badly in short of workmates.
D．There are many irrelevant videos and photos.
5．How does the AI aided digital toolbox help the researchers
A．By searching for snow leopards in the forest.
B．By making data processing quicker and easier.
C．By controlling the movements of snow leopards.
D．By recording snow leopards' changing populations.
6．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．Snow Leopard — a Most Important Animal in Gansu
B．Ma Duifang — a Leading Expert in Snow Leopard Study
C．Infrared Camera — a Creative Invention for Wildlife Protection
D．AI aided Technology — an Effective Helper in Snow Leopard Protection
7．What is the text likely to be
A．A news report.
B．A scientific paper.
C．An official document.
D．A product introduction.

A famous book from the 70s called The Secret Life of Plants says that plants are conscious (有意识的). __8__ In one study, plants exposed (裸露) to Mozart were healthier and grew faster than plants exposed to Jimi Hendrix. Some say these studies that claim plants have a taste for music are full of holes. But there is growing research on plant intelligence and plant communication.
Plants don't have brains so they can't think in the same way as humans. __9__ They can even communicate this information to nearby plants. Researchers in England cut the leaves of cabbages (卷心菜). The threatened cabbages then produced a poisonous gas that protects themselves from certain insects. __10__ Those healthy cabbages nearby seemed to be reacting to a warning from their cabbage neighbors.
__11__ Of course, plants don't have ears, but some scientists think they can feel vibrations. Italian scientist Dr Gagliano recorded clicking noises produced by corn seedlings (幼苗). She then placed these seedlings in water and played them similar sounds. Curiously, the corn seedlings grew towards the loudspeakers.
__12__ Whether or not there is an intention to communicate is still up in the air. Whatever the case, plants are stranger and more wonderful than we can imagine.
A．They even have a preference for music.
B．But plants can sense their surroundings.
C．Some plants can communicate with sound.
D．The study also showed plants will row towards the sound of water.
E．So there is no doubt that plants are communicating with their neighbors.
F．Strangely, the uncut cabbages nearby also began to give off a poisonous gas.
G．The researchers believe plants are communicating with their neighbors through their roots.
