【答案】1.D2.B3.D

【解析】

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇應(yīng)用文。文章介紹的是幾處周末度假去處。介紹這些地方的好處，吸引人的地方。

【1題詳解】

主旨大意題。由文章開頭“StillseekingadestinationforyourweekendbreakTherearesomeplaceswhichareprobablyamerewallawayfromyourcollege.(還在尋找周末的目的地嗎有些地方離你的學(xué)?？赡苤挥幸欢聣?”及全文內(nèi)容可知，本篇介紹的是幾處周末度假的好去處。故選D。

【2題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)BotanicGarden中“TheGardenisalsoaplaceforwildlife-enthusiasts.(TheBotanicGarden也是野生動物愛好者的樂園。)”可知，如果你是野外愛好者，你可以去theBotanicGarden。故選B。

【3題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段“Ifyoudon’ttrustme,thenperhapsyou’lltakeitfromVirginiaWoolf,afamouswriter,—overacenturyafterByron,shereportedlytookatriptoswiminthesamepool.”可知，如果你不相信我，那么也許你會從著名作家弗吉尼亞·伍爾夫那里學(xué)一學(xué)——據(jù)報道，在拜倫去世一個多世紀后，她也曾在同一個池子里游泳。由此判斷出提到這位作家的目的是想說明Byron’sPool是一個令人愉快的地方。故選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.”

Itistruethatnoteverygoalwillbeachieved,noteveryjobwillendupwithasuccess,andnoteverydreamwillcometrue.Themostbeautifulsceneryisontheway.

7.Whatisthebesttitleofthepassage

A.CheeruptheSadSonB.EnjoytheSceneryontheWay

C.FailtoReachtheTopD.MakeEveryDreamComeTrue

【答案】4.C5.A6.D7.B

【解析】

【導(dǎo)語】本文為一篇夾敘夾議文。湯姆去爬山，卻在傍晚時傷心歸來，因為沒有實現(xiàn)站到山頂?shù)睦硐?，父母開導(dǎo)他，不是每個夢想都能實現(xiàn)，最美的風(fēng)景在路上，享受追求夢想的過程更重要。

【4題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“‘Ifailed.Themountainissohighandfullofbigorsmallstonesontheway.Istillgoahead.ButIwastiredanditwassolatethatIhadtocomeback.’Tomcried.‘Itdoesn’tmatter,youareonly14yearsoldafterall.Youwillhaveanotherchance...’hismothersaid.‘But,standingatthetopofthemountainismydream!’Tomsaid.(‘我失敗了。這座山很高，路上到處都是大大小小的石頭。我還是繼續(xù)。但是我很累，而且很晚了，所以我不得不回來?！瘻房薜??！疀]關(guān)系，畢竟你才14歲。你會有另一次機會的……’他母親說?！?，站在山頂是我的夢想!’湯姆說。)”可知，湯姆很挫敗，他沒能到達山頂就返回了，沒有實現(xiàn)站在山頂?shù)睦硐?，所以傷心。故選C項。

【5題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“‘Didyouseethegreentreesonyourwaytothemountain’‘Sure,andtherearealotofbeautifulflowersbythesideoftheroad.’(‘你在去山上的路上看到那些綠樹了嗎？’‘當然，而且路邊有很多漂亮的花?！?”，以及“Thereweremanykindsofbirdssinginginthetrees,andthesoundwasverysweet.(樹上有各種各樣的鳥在唱歌，聲音非常甜美。)”，以及“Yes,thebluesky,thewhiteclouds,thegreentreesandthecolorfulflowersmadeanicepicture.(是的，藍天、白云、綠樹和五顏六色的花朵構(gòu)成了一幅美好的畫面。)”可知，湯姆一路欣賞到了綠樹、鮮花、鳴鳥，未提及Wildanimals，故選A項。

【6題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“‘That’senough!’hisfathersmiledandsaid,‘Pleaseremember,son.Foroften,achievingwhatyouexpectisnotthemostimportantthing.Althoughyoudidn’treachthetopofthemountain,yougotalotontheway.’(‘這就夠了!’他的父親笑著說：‘請記住，兒子。通常，實現(xiàn)你的期望并不是最重要的。雖然你還沒有到達山頂，但你在路上收獲了很多?！?”可推知，攀登的過程中學(xué)到一些東西比到山頂更重要，即過程比結(jié)果重要。故選D項。

【7題詳解】

主旨大意題。通讀全文，尤其是最后一段“Itistruethatnoteverygoalwillbeachieved,noteveryjobwillendupwithasuccess,andnoteverydreamwillcometrue.Themostbeautifulsceneryisontheway.(的確，不是每個目標都能實現(xiàn)，不是每個工作都能成功，也不是每個夢想都能實現(xiàn)。最美的風(fēng)景在路上。)”可知，文章借助于講述湯姆的爬山經(jīng)歷，就算沒有實現(xiàn)自己的夢想，但是其中的過程更重要，要享受過程，“EnjoytheSceneryontheWay”適合作文章標題。故選B項。
