(2024·浙江省精诚联盟高二上阶段性测试)Coming into the town of Santa Catarina Palopó， in the highlands of Lake Atitlan in Guatemala, the first thing you notice is the bright colors. Most of the buildings along the main street are eye－catching, deep blues and greens, dotted with red and yellow to form diverse patterns and designs.
Santa Catarina Palopó was once a sleepy town of 5，000 people, most of them dependent on agricultural work. But as agriculture began to dry up here, poverty came. To deal with poverty and promote economic growth through tourism, a small but creative group of laborers, artisans, domestic workers and stay at home moms created the Pintando Santa Catarina Palopó project.
The project aimed to paint all 850 homes and buildings in bright colors to change the hillside town into a work of art. “We wanted to paint the houses with colors and figures that represent the community，” says the project's executive director Stephany Blanco. “Families can choose designs for their house that are representative of the family.”
One of the most representative characteristics of the region is the blue huipil, a traditional blouse which has been worn commonly by local women since the 16th century. That deep sky blue was chosen as the primary color for the Pintando project, with secondary colors found in the sunsets and the nearby lake to make the design more attractive. Inspiration was also found in local culture, symbols such as volcanoes, flowers, and the national bird of Guatemala.
Each week, local artists, community members and tourists pick up paintbrushes to make buildings colorful. “At first, the idea of the project was uncertain, but now you can see a considerable difference in the town，” Melissa Whitbeck said. “The color of the buildings is believed to improve the quality of life of the people. It uplifts the people's mood and encourages them to be proud of their hometown.”
【译文欣赏】
进入危地马拉阿蒂特兰湖高地的圣卡塔琳娜帕洛波镇（Santa Catarina Palopó），你首先注意到的是鲜艳的色彩。主街沿线的大多数建筑都引人注目，深蓝和深绿色点缀着红色和黄色，形成多样的图案和设计。
圣卡塔琳娜帕洛波曾经是一个有 5000 人的沉睡小镇，大多数人依赖农业工作。但随着当地农业开始枯竭，贫困随之而来。为了应对贫困并通过旅游业促进经济增长，一群由工人、工匠、家政劳动者和全职妈妈组成的小型创意团队创建了 “彩绘圣卡塔琳娜帕洛波”（Pintando Santa Catarina Palopó）项目。
该项目旨在将 850 座房屋和建筑全部漆成鲜艳的颜色，把这个山坡小镇变成一件艺术品。项目执行主任斯蒂芬妮 布兰科（Stephany Blanco）说：“我们想用代表社区的颜色和图案来粉刷房屋，家庭可以为自己的房子选择能代表家庭的设计。”
该地区最具代表性的特征之一是蓝色的 “huipil”（传统女式罩衫），这是当地女性自 16 世纪以来普遍穿着的传统上衣。那种深邃的天蓝色被选为彩绘项目的主色，辅以日落和附近湖泊的次要颜色，使设计更具吸引力。灵感还来自当地文化，如火山、花朵和危地马拉国鸟等符号。
每周，当地艺术家、社区成员和游客都会拿起画笔，让建筑变得丰富多彩。梅利莎 惠特贝克（Melissa Whitbeck）说：“起初，这个项目的想法并不确定，但现在你可以看到小镇发生了显著的变化。人们认为建筑的颜色改善了人们的生活质量，它振奋了人们的情绪，鼓励他们为自己的家乡感到自豪。”

【知识拓展】
1.用创意打破困境：当圣卡塔琳娜帕洛波镇因农业衰退陷入贫困时，社区成员没有被动等待，而是用色彩和艺术激活了小镇。这启示我们：困境中往往藏着创新的契机，微小的行动（如一支画笔、一次协作）也能汇聚成改变的力量。
2.文化是生命力的源泉：项目以传统服饰 “huipil” 的蓝色为核心，将本土符号（火山、国鸟）融入设计，让文化成为发展的根基。这提醒我们：尊重和挖掘自身的文化特质，能为个人或群体带来独特的竞争力与认同感。
3.集体行动的价值：艺术家、居民、游客共同参与彩绘，打破了 “旁观者” 与 “建设者” 的界限。正如小镇的变化所示：当个体愿意为共同目标贡献力量时，平凡的场景也能蜕变为充满活力的共同体。

高考真题链接
（2022·全国甲卷·高考真题）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.
28.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.
29.What made Ginni decide on the trip to Antarctica
A．Lovely penguins. B．Beautiful scenery.
C．A discount fare. D．A friend’s invitation.
30.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.
31.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】28.A 29.C 30.C 31.B
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了71岁的Ginni Bazlinton从小就对旅行有着深深的热爱，渴望探险，不再跳舞和孩子们成家立业之后，她开始周游世界，并在2008年开始了前往南极洲的旅程。
28.词句猜测题。根据第三段第一句“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.(在奇切斯特大学获得相关艺术学位后，Ginni开始周游世界，最终在日本和智利找到了教英语的工作。)”可知，此处是指做有挑战性的事情，所以take the plunge意为“尝试有挑战性的事情”。故选A。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tiera del Fuego. (正是在智利，她发现自己可以在最后一刻买到从火地岛附近岛屿前往南极洲的廉价船票)”可知，是折扣的票价让Ginni决定去南极洲旅行的。故选C。
30.细节理解题。根据最后一段“The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni. (意识到这是一块宝贵的土地，应该受到人类的尊重，这是Ginni最深刻的感受之一)”可知，旅行结束后，Ginni认为南极洲应该得到很好的保护。故选C。
31.主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了Ginni Bazlinton去南极旅行的经历，再根据第一段“These gentle lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget. (这些温柔可爱的看门人欢迎了她，并开始了一次Ginni永远不会忘记的旅行)”和倒数第二段Ginni Bazlinton对南极之旅的评价可知，文章主要介绍了Ginni Bazlinton的南极洲之旅让她非常难忘。由此可知，An unforgettable experience. (一次难忘的经历) 能够概括文章主旨。故选B。
1.原句：As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins longing to say hello.
结构解析：
时间状语从句：As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica（当 Ginni 抵达南极洲时）。
主句：she found herself greeted by...（她发现自己被…… 迎接），使用 “find + 宾语 + 过去分词” 结构，表被动。
后置定语：longing to say hello（渴望问好），现在分词短语修饰 penguins。
翻译：当 Ginni Bazlinton 抵达南极洲时，她发现一群渴望问好的巴布亚企鹅迎接了她。
2.原句：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.
结构解析：
强调句：It was in Chile + that（省略）+ she discovered...（正是在智利，她发现……）。
宾语从句：she could get...deals（她能买到…… 折扣票）。
后置定语：going to Antarctica（前往南极洲）修饰 ships，“the southernmost tip...” 解释 Tierra del Fuego。
翻译：正是在智利，她发现可以在最后一刻买到从南美大陆最南端火地岛附近岛屿前往南极洲的廉价船票。
3.原句：The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.
结构解析：
同位语从句：that this is a precious land（这是一片宝贵的土地），解释 realization。
后置定语：to be respected by humans（应被人类尊重）修饰 land。
定语从句：that hit home to Ginni（让 Ginni 深刻意识到）修饰 things。
翻译：意识到这是一片应被人类尊重的宝贵土地，是 Ginni 最深切的感悟之一。
翻译：正是多亏了这些电视厨师，而非任何广告活动，英国人才开始远离 “肉和两种蔬菜” 及即食食品，并在烹饪习惯上变得更具冒险精神。

背景知识：
1.南极洲地理与生态：
南极洲是地球上最南端的大陆，98% 面积被冰雪覆盖，平均海拔 2350 米，是世界上最干燥、风力最强的地区。
特有物种包括帝企鹅、巴布亚企鹅、座头鲸、威德尔海豹等，生态系统脆弱，受《南极条约》保护，游客需遵守严格环保规定（如距动物至少 5 米，不留下任何垃圾）。
2.南极旅行概况：
旅行季为每年 11 月至次年 3 月（南极暖季），游客主要从智利蓬塔阿雷纳斯或阿根廷乌斯怀亚乘船出发，航程约 2 天。
常见活动包括徒步冰川、 kayaking（皮划艇）、参观科考站，费用通常在 5000-20000 美元之间，廉价票多为最后一刻的尾单（如文中 “last-minute deals”）。
3.极地探险文化：
南极旅行象征 “极限探索”，吸引退休人士、探险家等群体。Ginni 的经历体现 “银发旅行” 趋势 —— 老年人通过挑战自我实现人生价值，与 Unit 4 “跨越广袤土地” 的探索主题呼应。
阅读微技能（解题技巧）
28. 词句猜测题：通过上下文逻辑推断词义
技巧：
定位划线短语前后句：前句 “retired from dancing and her sons...flew the nest”（退休且儿子离家）表明她有了自由时间；后句 “began to travel the world”（开始周游世界）显示行动变化。
结合情感色彩：“longed to explore further”（渴望进一步探索）暗示 “take the plunge” 是对 “挑战新事物” 的果断行动，排除 B（学位）、C（回忆）、D（承诺）。
关键逻辑：短语含义需与 “开启新旅程” 的语境匹配，A 选项 “Try challenging things” 最贴近。
29. 细节理解题：关键词定位与同义替换
技巧：
题干关键词 “decide on the trip” 对应第三段 “discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals”，其中 “cheap deals” 与 C 选项 “discount fare”（折扣票价）同义。
排除干扰：A（企鹅）是抵达后的见闻，B（风景）是旅行体验，D（朋友邀请）文中未提及，均与 “决定旅行的原因” 无关。
陷阱规避：注意区分 “旅行原因” 与 “旅行体验”，避免因果混淆。
30. 推理判断题：根据文中观点句推断态度
技巧：
定位最后一段核心句 “a precious land, to be respected by humans”，其中 “respected” 与 C 选项 “well preserved”（妥善保护）为同义转换。
排除矛盾选项：A（家园）、B（易接近）、D（全面介绍）均与 “保护珍贵土地” 的主旨不符。
原则：推理题答案需基于文中明确表述，避免过度联想（如 “respected”≠“fully introduced”）。
31. 主旨大意题：抓首尾段与高频词
技巧：
首段 “kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget” 和尾段 “the biggest things that hit home” 均强调 “旅行的难忘性”。
高频词：“journey”“experience”“amazing”“impression” 反复出现，锁定 B 选项 “An unforgettable experience”。
干扰排除：A（童年梦想）仅为背景，C（环球航行）范围过大，D（遇见动物）是细节而非主旨，均属 “以偏概全”。
关联拓展:
1.地理探索与人文感悟：
文中南极的 “vast land” 与 Unit 4 “横跨广袤土地” 的主题呼应，可对比加拿大、澳大利亚等广袤地域的旅行体验，分析自然景观对人文认知的影响。
2.跨文化旅行叙事：
Ginni 的独自旅行体现 “个体与自然的对话”，可联系 Unit 4 中 “游记写作” 技巧，如通过细节描写（企鹅、座头鲸）传递情感，用 “land to be respected” 升华主题。
3.词汇迁移应用：
将 “hit home”“take the plunge” 等短语融入旅行类写作，如描述探险经历时使用：“The beauty of the vast land hit home, and I decided to take the plunge to explore further.”

Tuvas Village in Kanas, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region
Kanas Tuvas Village is near mysterious Lake Kanas. The small village is located in a valley, and only has about 80 Swiss-style wooden houses. Tuvas is an ancient minority group. They traditionally lived as hunter-gatherers. Kumiss, yogurt, milk tea, and butter are special their snacks.
Transportation: Tuvas Village is about 2.5 kilometers south from Lake Kanas which is about 902 kilometers from Urumqi (by road), and is one of the best places for autumn photography in China.
Jiaju Tibetan Village, Danba, Sichuan Province
Jiaju Tibetan Village is known as the “Tibetan fairyland”. It is made up of about 140 houses, which are all built with crown-shaped roofs, red eaves, and white walls, and look like little castles among the forest. This Tibetan village is a great destination for photographers, especially in spring (from February to April), when it’s decorated with colorful wild flowers, white pear blossoms, and green grassland.
Transportation: The village is about 8 kilometers from Danba Town, Kardze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. Kardze is 718 kilometers from Chengdu.
Baoshan Stone City, a Naxi ancient village built on a huge rock
Baoshao Stone City was built on a huge mushroom-shaped rock, around which the local Naxi people have cut rice terraces and planted crops on the hills. October, when the fields around the ancient village are decorated with green wheat and gold rice, is the best month to visit the stone city.
Transportation: Baoshan Stone City is in the canyon of Jinsha River. Though the bus can take you to the village directly, you may choose to get off at the nearest town, and then walk to the village to see the beautiful landscape along the way.
Ancient Hakka Villages with Unique Earthen Buildings
These large round or square buildings are the Hakka (客家) people’s houses: earthen buildings, which are mainly built in flying-saucer-like shapes. These ancient buildings are mainly located in Fujian Province, especially in Nanjing Prefecture and Yong-ding Prefecture. There, you can learn about the construction of earthen buildings, the history of the Hakka, and enjoy the peace brought by the natural scenery.

Having four Michelin-starred restaurants, an energetic street food scene, easy access to beautiful nature escapes, and outstanding museums and galleries, Aarhus may not be as well-known as Copenhagen, but it achieved the highest score out of 1,650 cities worldwide, particularly excelling in governance (管理) and the environment.
Paris came second on the list of Romantic Cities.
A recent list by Funjet Vacations and Talker Research revealed that 34 percent of respondents ranked Maui as the most romantic destination, surpassing (超过) Paris by just 1 point. Following Maui and Paris, Rome and Venice also ranked highly in romance stakes, while Cancun rounded out the top 5. While most respondents suggested waiting about a year for a first trip together, many would choose to travel sooner.

(2024·浙江省精诚联盟高二上阶段性测试)Coming into the town of Santa Catarina Palopó， in the highlands of Lake Atitlan in Guatemala, the first thing you notice is the bright colors. Most of the buildings along the main street are eye－catching, deep blues and greens, dotted with red and yellow to form diverse patterns and designs.
Santa Catarina Palopó was once a sleepy town of 5，000 people, most of them dependent on agricultural work. But as agriculture began to dry up here, poverty came. To deal with poverty and promote economic growth through tourism, a small but creative group of laborers, artisans, domestic workers and stay at home moms created the Pintando Santa Catarina Palopó project.
The project aimed to paint all 850 homes and buildings in bright colors to change the hillside town into a work of art. “We wanted to paint the houses with colors and figures that represent the community，” says the project's executive director Stephany Blanco. “Families can choose designs for their house that are representative of the family.”
One of the most representative characteristics of the region is the blue huipil, a traditional blouse which has been worn commonly by local women since the 16th century. That deep sky blue was chosen as the primary color for the Pintando project, with secondary colors found in the sunsets and the nearby lake to make the design more attractive. Inspiration was also found in local culture, symbols such as volcanoes, flowers, and the national bird of Guatemala.
Each week, local artists, community members and tourists pick up paintbrushes to make buildings colorful. “At first, the idea of the project was uncertain, but now you can see a considerable difference in the town，” Melissa Whitbeck said. “The color of the buildings is believed to improve the quality of life of the people. It uplifts the people's mood and encourages them to be proud of their hometown.”
【译文欣赏】
进入危地马拉阿蒂特兰湖高地的圣卡塔琳娜帕洛波镇（Santa Catarina Palopó），你首先注意到的是鲜艳的色彩。主街沿线的大多数建筑都引人注目，深蓝和深绿色点缀着红色和黄色，形成多样的图案和设计。
圣卡塔琳娜帕洛波曾经是一个有 5000 人的沉睡小镇，大多数人依赖农业工作。但随着当地农业开始枯竭，贫困随之而来。为了应对贫困并通过旅游业促进经济增长，一群由工人、工匠、家政劳动者和全职妈妈组成的小型创意团队创建了 “彩绘圣卡塔琳娜帕洛波”（Pintando Santa Catarina Palopó）项目。
该项目旨在将 850 座房屋和建筑全部漆成鲜艳的颜色，把这个山坡小镇变成一件艺术品。项目执行主任斯蒂芬妮 布兰科（Stephany Blanco）说：“我们想用代表社区的颜色和图案来粉刷房屋，家庭可以为自己的房子选择能代表家庭的设计。”
该地区最具代表性的特征之一是蓝色的 “huipil”（传统女式罩衫），这是当地女性自 16 世纪以来普遍穿着的传统上衣。那种深邃的天蓝色被选为彩绘项目的主色，辅以日落和附近湖泊的次要颜色，使设计更具吸引力。灵感还来自当地文化，如火山、花朵和危地马拉国鸟等符号。
每周，当地艺术家、社区成员和游客都会拿起画笔，让建筑变得丰富多彩。梅利莎 惠特贝克（Melissa Whitbeck）说：“起初，这个项目的想法并不确定，但现在你可以看到小镇发生了显著的变化。人们认为建筑的颜色改善了人们的生活质量，它振奋了人们的情绪，鼓励他们为自己的家乡感到自豪。”

【知识拓展】
1.用创意打破困境：当圣卡塔琳娜帕洛波镇因农业衰退陷入贫困时，社区成员没有被动等待，而是用色彩和艺术激活了小镇。这启示我们：困境中往往藏着创新的契机，微小的行动（如一支画笔、一次协作）也能汇聚成改变的力量。
2.文化是生命力的源泉：项目以传统服饰 “huipil” 的蓝色为核心，将本土符号（火山、国鸟）融入设计，让文化成为发展的根基。这提醒我们：尊重和挖掘自身的文化特质，能为个人或群体带来独特的竞争力与认同感。
3.集体行动的价值：艺术家、居民、游客共同参与彩绘，打破了 “旁观者” 与 “建设者” 的界限。正如小镇的变化所示：当个体愿意为共同目标贡献力量时，平凡的场景也能蜕变为充满活力的共同体。

（2022·全国甲卷·高考真题）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.

【答案】28.A 29.C 30.C 31.B
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了71岁的Ginni Bazlinton从小就对旅行有着深深的热爱，渴望探险，不再跳舞和孩子们成家立业之后，她开始周游世界，并在2008年开始了前往南极洲的旅程。
28.词句猜测题。根据第三段第一句“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.(在奇切斯特大学获得相关艺术学位后，Ginni开始周游世界，最终在日本和智利找到了教英语的工作。)”可知，此处是指做有挑战性的事情，所以take the plunge意为“尝试有挑战性的事情”。故选A。
29.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tiera del Fuego. (正是在智利，她发现自己可以在最后一刻买到从火地岛附近岛屿前往南极洲的廉价船票)”可知，是折扣的票价让Ginni决定去南极洲旅行的。故选C。
30.细节理解题。根据最后一段“The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni. (意识到这是一块宝贵的土地，应该受到人类的尊重，这是Ginni最深刻的感受之一)”可知，旅行结束后，Ginni认为南极洲应该得到很好的保护。故选C。
31.主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了Ginni Bazlinton去南极旅行的经历，再根据第一段“These gentle lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget. (这些温柔可爱的看门人欢迎了她，并开始了一次Ginni永远不会忘记的旅行)”和倒数第二段Ginni Bazlinton对南极之旅的评价可知，文章主要介绍了Ginni Bazlinton的南极洲之旅让她非常难忘。由此可知，An unforgettable experience. (一次难忘的经历) 能够概括文章主旨。故选B。
1.原句：As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins longing to say hello.
结构解析：
时间状语从句：As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica（当 Ginni 抵达南极洲时）。
主句：she found herself greeted by...（她发现自己被…… 迎接），使用 “find + 宾语 + 过去分词” 结构，表被动。
后置定语：longing to say hello（渴望问好），现在分词短语修饰 penguins。
翻译：当 Ginni Bazlinton 抵达南极洲时，她发现一群渴望问好的巴布亚企鹅迎接了她。
2.原句：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.
结构解析：
强调句：It was in Chile + that（省略）+ she discovered...（正是在智利，她发现……）。
宾语从句：she could get...deals（她能买到…… 折扣票）。
后置定语：going to Antarctica（前往南极洲）修饰 ships，“the southernmost tip...” 解释 Tierra del Fuego。
翻译：正是在智利，她发现可以在最后一刻买到从南美大陆最南端火地岛附近岛屿前往南极洲的廉价船票。
3.原句：The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.
结构解析：
同位语从句：that this is a precious land（这是一片宝贵的土地），解释 realization。
后置定语：to be respected by humans（应被人类尊重）修饰 land。
定语从句：that hit home to Ginni（让 Ginni 深刻意识到）修饰 things。
翻译：意识到这是一片应被人类尊重的宝贵土地，是 Ginni 最深切的感悟之一。
翻译：正是多亏了这些电视厨师，而非任何广告活动，英国人才开始远离 “肉和两种蔬菜” 及即食食品，并在烹饪习惯上变得更具冒险精神。

背景知识：
1.南极洲地理与生态：
南极洲是地球上最南端的大陆，98% 面积被冰雪覆盖，平均海拔 2350 米，是世界上最干燥、风力最强的地区。
特有物种包括帝企鹅、巴布亚企鹅、座头鲸、威德尔海豹等，生态系统脆弱，受《南极条约》保护，游客需遵守严格环保规定（如距动物至少 5 米，不留下任何垃圾）。
2.南极旅行概况：
旅行季为每年 11 月至次年 3 月（南极暖季），游客主要从智利蓬塔阿雷纳斯或阿根廷乌斯怀亚乘船出发，航程约 2 天。
常见活动包括徒步冰川、 kayaking（皮划艇）、参观科考站，费用通常在 5000-20000 美元之间，廉价票多为最后一刻的尾单（如文中 “last-minute deals”）。
3.极地探险文化：
南极旅行象征 “极限探索”，吸引退休人士、探险家等群体。Ginni 的经历体现 “银发旅行” 趋势 —— 老年人通过挑战自我实现人生价值，与 Unit 4 “跨越广袤土地” 的探索主题呼应。
阅读微技能（解题技巧）
28. 词句猜测题：通过上下文逻辑推断词义
技巧：
定位划线短语前后句：前句 “retired from dancing and her sons...flew the nest”（退休且儿子离家）表明她有了自由时间；后句 “began to travel the world”（开始周游世界）显示行动变化。
结合情感色彩：“longed to explore further”（渴望进一步探索）暗示 “take the plunge” 是对 “挑战新事物” 的果断行动，排除 B（学位）、C（回忆）、D（承诺）。
关键逻辑：短语含义需与 “开启新旅程” 的语境匹配，A 选项 “Try challenging things” 最贴近。
29. 细节理解题：关键词定位与同义替换
技巧：
题干关键词 “decide on the trip” 对应第三段 “discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals”，其中 “cheap deals” 与 C 选项 “discount fare”（折扣票价）同义。
排除干扰：A（企鹅）是抵达后的见闻，B（风景）是旅行体验，D（朋友邀请）文中未提及，均与 “决定旅行的原因” 无关。
陷阱规避：注意区分 “旅行原因” 与 “旅行体验”，避免因果混淆。
30. 推理判断题：根据文中观点句推断态度
技巧：
定位最后一段核心句 “a precious land, to be respected by humans”，其中 “respected” 与 C 选项 “well preserved”（妥善保护）为同义转换。
排除矛盾选项：A（家园）、B（易接近）、D（全面介绍）均与 “保护珍贵土地” 的主旨不符。
原则：推理题答案需基于文中明确表述，避免过度联想（如 “respected”≠“fully introduced”）。
31. 主旨大意题：抓首尾段与高频词
技巧：
首段 “kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget” 和尾段 “the biggest things that hit home” 均强调 “旅行的难忘性”。
高频词：“journey”“experience”“amazing”“impression” 反复出现，锁定 B 选项 “An unforgettable experience”。
干扰排除：A（童年梦想）仅为背景，C（环球航行）范围过大，D（遇见动物）是细节而非主旨，均属 “以偏概全”。
关联拓展:
1.地理探索与人文感悟：
文中南极的 “vast land” 与 Unit 4 “横跨广袤土地” 的主题呼应，可对比加拿大、澳大利亚等广袤地域的旅行体验，分析自然景观对人文认知的影响。
2.跨文化旅行叙事：
Ginni 的独自旅行体现 “个体与自然的对话”，可联系 Unit 4 中 “游记写作” 技巧，如通过细节描写（企鹅、座头鲸）传递情感，用 “land to be respected” 升华主题。
3.词汇迁移应用：
将 “hit home”“take the plunge” 等短语融入旅行类写作，如描述探险经历时使用：“The beauty of the vast land hit home, and I decided to take the plunge to explore further.”
