_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________答案:Ⅰ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四项英国的传统活动:世界鬼脸大赛、吃荨麻比赛、Whittlesea稻草熊节和背妻比赛。1.B细节理解题。根据文章WorldGurningChampionships部分内容“ThecontesttakesplaceeveryyearinEgremont,Cumbria,aspartofthetown’sCrabFair,whichdatesbackto1267.”可知,这项比赛是螃蟹博览会的一部分。故选B项。2.A细节理解题。根据文章WorldGurningChampionships部分内容“Thecontest...whichdatesbackto1267.”可知,世界鬼脸大赛可以追溯到1267年;Nettleeatingcontest部分内容“HostedbytheBottleInnpubinMarshwood,Dorseteveryyear,this20-year-oldnettleeatingcontest...”可知,吃荨麻比赛追溯到20年前;WhittleseaStrawBearFestival部分内容“EveryJanuary,theWhittleseaStrawBearFestivaltakesplace,whichdatesbackmorethan200years.”可知,Whittlesea稻草熊节可以追溯到200多年前;Wifecarryingrace部分内容“ThesportactuallyoriginatesfromtheVikinginvasionof793CE.”可知,背妻比赛起源于公元793年。由此可知,背妻比赛历史最悠久。3.B推理判断题。根据文章WorldGurningChampionships部分内容“Thecontesttakesplaceeveryyear...”,Nettleeatingcontest部分内容“HostedbytheBottleInnpubinMarshwood,Dorseteveryyear...”,WhittleseaStrawBearFestival部分内容“EveryJanuary,theWhittleseaStrawBearFestivaltakesplace...”,和Wifecarryingrace部分内容“...heldinDorking,SurreyeveryMarch”可推知,它们的共同点是每年都会举行。故选B项。【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了对世界上很多地方来说,斗牛一直是伊比利亚独有的。但如今,法国的部分地区正在坚持这一传统。但这因此引发了一场关于斗牛运动的论战,文章说明了不同的人对此的不同看法。4.C细节理解题。根据第一段中“FromtheCteBasquetothearenasofArlesandBeziers,ithasspreadtotownswherebullfightinghaslongbeenbanned,andbeenembracedwithsuchenthusiasmthatyou’dthinkthesporthadbeenbornthere.”可知,斗牛的传统已传播到对这项活动禁止了很长时间的一些城市,也就是说斗牛在法国越来越盛行。5.D推理判断题。根据第三段中“Ifthechancesofwarhadbeenalittledifferent,alltheregionssharingbullfightingmighthavebeentogether”可推知,共享斗牛的地区被战争分开了。6.B推理判断题。根据第五段中“‘Wedidn’twanttoselloursoulsbybringingbullfightingtoaregionwhereitdoesn’texist,’heexplains.Buthehasalsogotthesensetoknowthatsometraditionsdon’ttravelwell.”可推知,RobertMarge拒绝在巴黎组织斗牛是出于尊重当地传统的原因。故选B项。7.A主旨大意题。根据第二段并结合文章主要说明了对世界上很多地方来说,斗牛一直是伊比利亚独有的。但如今,法国的部分地区正在坚持这一传统。但这因此引发了一场关于斗牛运动的论战,文章说明了不同的人对此不同的看法。由此可知,A项“斗牛大战”最符合作文章标题。Ⅱ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者的父亲在作者七岁时的一个晚上抱作者到海滩看流星,激发了作者的好奇心。进而提到好的父母都知道给孩子的最珍贵的礼物就是激发他们的好奇心。1.C根据下文“andcarriedinhisfather’sarmsontothebeach”可知,此处指他被父亲从床上抱起来。2.A根据上文“Watch!”及下文“oneofthestarsmoved”可知,一颗星星在他父亲说话的时候开始移动,这让人觉得不可思议。3.D根据下文“acrosstheskylikeagoldenfire.Andbeforethe4ofthiscouldfade,anotherstarleaptfromitsplace,thenanother...”可知,此处指星星划过夜空。
4.B根据上文“oneofthestarsmoved”及下文“anotherstarleaptfromitsplace,thenanother...”可知,一颗接着一颗星星不断在天空中划过,这是一个奇迹。5.A根据上文“oneofthestarsmoved”及“anotherstarleaptfromitsplace,thenanother...”可知,星星一颗接着一颗从天空中划过的景象,对孩子来说是很惊讶的事。6.B根据上文“oneofthestarsmoved”及“anotherstarleaptfromitsplace,thenanother...”可知,此处指每年八月的某个晚上流星都会出现。7.D根据上文“Shootingstars”及下文“encounterofsomethingmagicandbeautiful”可知,此处指男孩意外看到流星。8.C根据上文讲述的男孩意外看到流星的事情可知,此处作者说自己就是那个幸运的男孩。9.B根据上文“anewexperience”及下文“moreforasmallboythananunbrokennight’ssleep”可知,此处指新的经历更重要。10.A根据上文“whosefatherbelievedthatanewexperience9moreforasmallboythananunbrokennight’ssleep”及下文“Thisartofaddingnewdimensionstoachild’sworld”可知,“我”的父亲让“我”相信新的经历更重要,此处指父亲带“我”看到流星现象,让“我”了解到新事物。
11.C根据上文“myfatheropenedadoorforhischild,leadinghimintoanarea”可知,此处指孩子要有人引导。12.D根据下文“Itsimply13doingthingsmoreoftenwithchildreninsteadofforthemortothem.”可知,此处指给孩子的世界增添新维度的艺术并不一定需要很多时间。
13.A根据上文“doesn’t12requireagreatdealoftime”和下文“doingthi
