答案与分层梯度式解析高考练Ⅰ.◎语篇解读本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为一名风景摄影爱好者,克服困难拍出高质量风景照的经过。1.B细节理解题。本题问的是作者作为一名中西部地区的风景摄影师是如何应对挑战的。thechallenge指的是第一段中的“thecornstatelacksgeographicalvariation(这个玉米生产州缺少地理差异)”。再结合题干关键词intheMidwest可定位到第二段。根据“Itendtotravelwithafewofmyfriendstostateparksortothecountrysidetogoonadventuresandtakephotosalongtheway.”可知,作者通过去州立公园或乡村拍摄照片来应对这一挑战。故选B。2.A细节理解题。题干中的thekey与第三段第一句中的decisive同义。根据“Beingattherightplaceattherighttimeisdecisiveinanystyleofphotography.”可知,在合适的时间到达合适的地点是至关重要的。再结合最后一段作者去魔鬼湖(DevilsLake)拍摄照片留下遗憾的经历可知,风景摄影成功的关键是恰当的时间管理。故选A。3.C推理判断题。根据题干关键词theauthorstripwithfriendstoDevilsLake可定位到最后一段。根据“Wemanagedtoleavethisspottoclimbhigherbecauseofthesparetimeuntilsunset.However,wedidnotmarktheroutesoweendedupalmostmissingthesunsetentirely.Oncewefoundtheplace,itwasstressfulgettinglightsandcamerassetupinthelimitedtime.”可知,作者认为时间宽裕,就离开既定的拍摄地点往更高的地方爬了,结果忘记了返回的正确路线,差点错过要拍摄的落日。由此可推知,他们到达拍摄地点的时间要比预计的晚。故选C。4.B推理判断题,考查作者的观点态度。根据最后一段最后一句“Still,lookingbackonthephotos,theyaresomeofmybestshotsthoughtheycouldhavebeensomuchbetterifIwouldhavebeenpreparedandmanagedmytimewisely.”可知,作者认为,尽管他可以把照片拍得更好,但现在这些照片仍然是自己拍得最好的。由此可推知,这些照片是令作者满意的(Satisfying)。故选B。【高考词汇站】1.地理(学)的2.决定性的;关键的3.日落4.日出5.背景长难句原句Still,lookingbackonthephotos,theyaresomeofmybestshotsthoughtheycouldhavebeensomuchbetterifIwouldhavebeenpreparedandmanagedmytimewisely.分析本句为主从复合句。现在分词短语“lookingbackonthephotos”作状语;though引导让步状语从句,从句中包含一个虚拟条件句。译文回顾这些照片,它们仍然是我拍得最好的一些照片,尽管如果我原本可以做好准备并合理管理我的时间的话,它们本可以拍得更好。Ⅱ.◎语篇解读本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了成为一个更加有耐心的人的技巧。1.G过渡句。前一句引用了一个谜语,该谜语的意思是“交通拥堵、排长队和等待假期开始这些情况有什么共同点?”,设空处内容是该谜语的谜底,并且该空位于第一段,应起到引出主题、总领全文的作用。结合选项可知,G选项(这些都是我们需要多用点耐心的情况)既能概括谜语中提到的三种情况,又能起到引出主题的作用。故选G。2.E细节句。该空位于小标题“Practicegratitude”下面。前一句说明了感激的好处,但并没有将感激与耐心相结合。后一句说明了表达感激可以培养自制力。由此可以推断,设空处应该说明感激与耐心的关系。分析选项可知,只有E选项阐述了感激与耐心的关系,其中的It指Thankfulness,并且also起到承接上文的作用。故选E。3.B过渡句。前一句指出养成等待这一习惯的唯一方法就是去训练,后一句用具体的例子(推迟看最喜欢的节目,吃蛋糕前多等十分钟)说明应如何训练。由此可知,设空处应该阐述如何训练,并与下文所举的例子相呼应。B选项就是训练指导,且smalltasks与后文举的例子相呼应。故选B。4.C主旨句。设空处是本段小标题。根据前面两个小标题的特点可知,设空处应该用祈使句,符合其特点的是A、B、C三个选项,B选项已排除;结合本段中的“beingcomfortab
