【答案】1.D2.B3.D

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍的是几处周末度假去处。介绍这些地方的好处，吸引人的地方。

【1题详解】

主旨大意题。由文章开头“StillseekingadestinationforyourweekendbreakTherearesomeplaceswhichareprobablyamerewallawayfromyourcollege.(还在寻找周末的目的地吗有些地方离你的学校可能只有一堵墙)”及全文内容可知，本篇介绍的是几处周末度假的好去处。故选D。

【2题详解】

细节理解题。根据BotanicGarden中“TheGardenisalsoaplaceforwildlife-enthusiasts.(TheBotanicGarden也是野生动物爱好者的乐园。)”可知，如果你是野外爱好者，你可以去theBotanicGarden。故选B。

【3题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Ifyoudon’ttrustme,thenperhapsyou’lltakeitfromVirginiaWoolf,afamouswriter,—overacenturyafterByron,shereportedlytookatriptoswiminthesamepool.”可知，如果你不相信我，那么也许你会从著名作家弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫那里学一学——据报道，在拜伦去世一个多世纪后，她也曾在同一个池子里游泳。由此判断出提到这位作家的目的是想说明Byron’sPool是一个令人愉快的地方。故选D。

B

Itwasnearlydark,thesunwasdroppingdownthemountainsfaraway.LittleTomcamebackhome,withtearsinhiseyes.

“What’sthematter,TomHow’syourtrip”hismotheraskedwithabigsmile.“Ifailed.Themountainissohighandfullofbigorsmallstonesontheway.Istillgoahead.ButIwastiredanditwassolatethatIhadtocomeback.”Tomcried.“Itdoesn’tmatter,youareonly14yearsoldafterall.Youwillhaveanotherchance...”hismothersaid.“But,standingatthetopofthemountainismydream!”Tomsaid.Hisfathercameoverandasked,“Didyouseethegreentreesonyourwaytothemountain”“Sure,andtherearealotofbeautifulflowersbythesideoftheroad.”Tomreplied.“Didyouhearthebirdssinging”hisfatherasked.“Thereweremanykindsofbirdssinginginthetrees,andthesoundwasverysweet.”Tomsaid.“Didyoufeelthebeautyofnature”hisfatherasked.“Yes,thebluesky,thewhiteclouds,thegreentreesandthecolorfulflowersmadeanicepicture.”Tomanswered.“That’senough!”hisfathersmiledandsaid,“Pleaseremember,son.Foroften,achievingwhatyouexpectisnotthemostimportantthing.Althoughyoudidn’treachthetopofthemountain,yougotalotontheway.”

A.CheeruptheSadSonB.EnjoytheSceneryontheWay

C.FailtoReachtheTopD.MakeEveryDreamComeTrue

【答案】4.C5.A6.D7.B

【解析】

【导语】本文为一篇夹叙夹议文。汤姆去爬山，却在傍晚时伤心归来，因为没有实现站到山顶的理想，父母开导他，不是每个梦想都能实现，最美的风景在路上，享受追求梦想的过程更重要。

【4题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段“‘Ifailed.Themountainissohighandfullofbigorsmallstonesontheway.Istillgoahead.ButIwastiredanditwassolatethatIhadtocomeback.’Tomcried.‘Itdoesn’tmatter,youareonly14yearsoldafterall.Youwillhaveanotherchance...’hismothersaid.‘But,standingatthetopofthemountainismydream!’Tomsaid.(‘我失败了。这座山很高，路上到处都是大大小小的石头。我还是继续。但是我很累，而且很晚了，所以我不得不回来。’汤姆哭道。‘没关系，毕竟你才14岁。你会有另一次机会的……’他母亲说。‘但是，站在山顶是我的梦想!’汤姆说。)”可知，汤姆很挫败，他没能到达山顶就返回了，没有实现站在山顶的理想，所以伤心。故选C项。

【5题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段“‘Didyouseethegreentreesonyourwaytothemountain’‘Sure,andtherearealotofbeautifulflowersbythesideoftheroad.’(‘你在去山上的路上看到那些绿树了吗？’‘当然，而且路边有很多漂亮的花。’)”，以及“Thereweremanykindsofbirdssinginginthetrees,andthesoundwasverysweet.(树上有各种各样的鸟在唱歌，声音非常甜美。)”，以及“Yes,thebluesky,thewhiteclouds,thegreentreesandthecolorfulflowersmadeanicepicture.(是的，蓝天、白云、绿树和五颜六色的花朵构成了一幅美好的画面。)”可知，汤姆一路欣赏到了绿树、鲜花、鸣鸟，未提及Wildanimals，故选A项。

【6题详解】

推理判断题。根据第二段“‘That’senough!’hisfathersmiledandsaid,‘Pleaseremember,son.Foroften,achievingwhatyouexpectisnotthemostimportantthing.Althoughyoudidn’treachthetopofthemountain,yougotalotontheway.’(‘这就够了!’他的父亲笑着说：‘请记住，儿子。通常，实现你的期望并不是最重要的。虽然你还没有到达山顶，但你在路上收获了很多。’)”可推知，攀登的过程中学到一些东西比到山顶更重要，即过程比结果重要。故选D项。

【7题详解】

主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“Itistruethatnoteverygoalwillbeachieved,noteveryjobwillendupwithasuccess,andnoteverydreamwillcometrue.Themostbeautifulsceneryisontheway.(的确，不是每个目标都能实现，不是每个工作都能成功，也不是每个梦想都能实现。最美的风景在路上。)”可知，文章借助于讲述汤姆的爬山经历，就算没有实现自己的梦想，但是其中的过程更重要，要享受过程，“EnjoytheSceneryontheWay”适合作文章标题。故选B项。

C
