owlongthistripwouldtake.AndI’dneverwrittenatravelbookbefore.Ihopedmytripwouldn’tsufferalot，thoughitwasobviouslyaleapinthedark"可知，作者并未对这次旅行做好充分的规划和准备，且准备不足，因此他期望旅途不要遭遇太多苦难，由此推知，他预料到旅途会很辛苦，故选B项。2.Whydidtheauthorrepeatedlyrecallthesleepingcar？A.Foritsromanticscenery.B.Foritsreassuringprivacy.C.Foritsfullequipment.D.Foritslongdistance.解析B微小环节理解题。由第三段中的"Theromanceassociatedwiththesleepingcarcomesfromthefactthatitisextremelyprivate"可知，作者认为卧铺车厢私密性好，这是作者一再提及卧铺车厢的缘由，故选B项。3.Whatdidtheauthortrytoconveybysaying"Nothingisthesame"？A.ThelandscapeinAsiawasgone.B.Traintripswerenolongerpopular.C.Hecouldn’twriteanotherbestseller.D.Transportationandtravelhadchangedalot.解析D推理推断题。"That’sthepast"表明上面所讲解并描述的有关火车的奇异阅历都已经是过去的事了，而"Alltravelistime-related.Allsuchtripsaresingularandunrepeatable.It’snotjustthatthesteamtrainsofAsiaaregone，butmuchofthepeaceandorderisgone"则讲到随着时间和社会的发展，旅行以及旅行方式也随之发生了变更，交通工具不一样了，和平秩序也消逝了。由此可知，作者想通过"Nothingisthesame"这句话表达"交通方式和旅行本身都变更了许多"这一含义，故选D项。4.Whichofthefollowingstatementswouldtheauthormostlikelyagreewith？A.Practicemakesperfect.B.Sharptoolsmakegoodwork.C.Travel，truthisnotthearrivalcard.D.Thejourney，notthearrivalmatters.解析D推理推断题。由最终一段"Alltravelbooksaredated.That’stheirfaultthatthey’reoutdated，andit’stheirvirtuethattheypreservesomethingofthepastthatwouldotherwisebelost"可知，在作者看来，旅行书籍具有时效性，会过时，其记录下来的旅途会成为一种"过去"，这反而是其值得珍惜的地方，因为过去会被遗忘，而这个对旅途的记录会将"过去"保存下来。由此可推知，作者认为旅行的过程才是真正意义所在。因此，作者应是同意选项D的观点。C[2024湖北武汉调研]Itisreportedthatrailindustrybossesareplanningtophaseoutpapertrainticketsandshutalmost1，000stationticketofficesinEngland.Thegovernmentsaysnothinghasbeendecided.Butthetransportsecretary，GrantShapps，pointsoutsomestationssellonlyahandfulofticketseachweekandthevastmajorityoftransactions（交易）havemovedonline.Regardlessoftheoutcomeoftheplan，thedirectionoftravelisclear.Inthenameofmodernizationandcost-cutting，stationticketofficesarelikelytofollowmanyhighstreetbankbranchesandruralpostofficesintomemory.Forthosewhohavegrownusedtotheadvantagesoforganizingtravelviaasmartphone，therewillbelittletomourn（哀悼）.Butforpeoplewithoutonlineaccessorskills，anothersmallsocialbarrierwillhaveemerged.Arecentreportestimatedthataround6％ofhouseholds—1.5millionhomes—havenoInternetaccess.MillionsmoreofusremainirregularandunconfidentusersoftheInternet.Mostlikely，asdigitaltechnologybecomesthegatekeepertoeverydaylife，asignificantminorityrisksbeingleftbehind.Theshiftonlineisunavoidable，butitsfalloutneedstobemanagedwithmorecare.Technologyshouldnotbeallowedtodrivepeopletothesideoftheirownlives，whichisincreasinglythecase.RosAltmann，theformerpensionsminister，recentlywroteofbeingcontactedbyanelderlywomanwhonolongerdrivestoherlocalpark，becauseshecannotdownloadthecarparkingapprequired.Thedebateoverticketofficesoffersanopportunitytoreflectmorebroadlyontheincreasingroleoftechnologyinoursociallandscape.Clearly，muchmoreneedstobeinvestedinhelpingmarginalized（边缘化的）groupsgaineasyonlineaccess.Alternativeofflineoptionsmustbemaintainedforimportantservices.Contactabletelephonenumbersandstaffedpublicaccesspointsshouldalwaysbeavailable.Thiswillcostmore.Butthatisthepriceofbeingfairtothosewhofindthemselvesonthewrongsideofthedigitaldivide.英格兰铁路公司准备逐步淘汰纸质火车票，将多数交易转移到互联网上。这说明由于技术的进步，人们的日常生活与互联网的关系更加亲密，但在转变的过程中也要关注边缘化人群，否则将会有相当一部分人被抛在后面。【词语积累】phaseout逐步淘汰outcomen.结果；效果estimatev.估计；估价；估算irregularadj.无规律的；不规则的reflectonsth.细致思索某事investv.投资1.Whatforcestherailindustrytophaseoutpapertraintickets？A.CostsofInternetaccess.B.Closureofstationticketoffices.C.Asharpdeclineofofflinetransactions.D.Thegovernment’seffortstodigitizetheindustry.解析C微小环节理解题。由第一段中的"somestationssellonlyahandfulofticketseachweekandthevastmajorityoftransactions（交易）havemovedonline"可知，火车票的线下交易量大幅度下滑迫使铁路行业逐步淘汰纸质火车票，故选C。2.Whichofthefollowingmightfallvictimtotheplan？A.Ruralpostoffices.B.IrregularInternetusers.C.Unconfidenthouseholds.D.Highstreetbankbranches.解析B微小环节理解题。由其次段中的"Butforpeoplewithoutonlineaccessorskills，anothersmallsocialbarrierwillhaveemerged"可知，对于没有接入网络或网络技能的人来说，取消纸质火车票将会出现障碍，综上可知，假如取消纸质火车票，那些不常常上网的人将成为牺牲品，故选B。3.Howdoestheauthorclarifyhisopinioninparagraph3？A.Bygivinganexample.B.Bymakingacomparison.C.Bycitingresearchdata.D.Byofferingstatisticalanalysis.解析A写作手法题。由第三段内容尤其是最终一句话"RosAltmann...whonolongerdrivestoherlocalpark，becauseshecannotdownloadthecarparkingapprequired"可知，RosAltmann最近写道一位老妇人联系他并告知他说自己不再开车去当地公园，因为她无法下载所需的停车应用程序。由此可推知，该段是以举例子的方式阐述作者的观点，故选A。4.Whatdoestheauthorsuggestinthelastparagraph？A.Takingthedigitaldividefairly.B.Maintainingadiversityofservices.C.Investingmoreinpublictransport.D.Slowingdownthepaceofmodernization.解析B推理推断题。由最终一段中的"muchmoreneedstobeinvested...andstaffedpublicaccesspointsshouldalwaysbeavailable"可知，作者建议须要投入更多资金帮助边缘化群体轻松上网；对于重要的服务，必需保留离线选择；应始终供应可联系的电话号码和配备人员的公共接入点。总之，作者建议应保持服务的多样性，故选B。二、语法填空[中国情怀/2024江苏南京、盐城三模]Despiteitsvastdistancesandhugevariety1landscapes，gettingaroundinChinaisconvenientandinexpensive.Shiningbullettrainszip（快速移动）toallcornersofthecountry，whilebusesconnectsmallertownsandvillages.TraintravelisthebestwaytogetaroundChinaforcomfort，2（convenient）andsustainability.Ch
