The scenery in Fiordland is nothing short of extremely beautiful, with steep mountains, wild waterfalls, and abundant rain forests. Being able to come back and forth in its deep bay attracts most of the visitors.‎ The area has some of the world's great walks including the world famous Milford Track, which was described as the finest walk in the world in the early twentieth century.‎ Abel Tasman National Park Abel Tasman may be New Zealand's smallest national park, but the attractions are huge. Located in one of New Zealand's sunniest spots, the area also has the best beaches in the country.‎ The popular Abel Tasman Walk is a great way to see this park. It takes 3－5 days to complete. Sea Taxis are also available and can drop you off at any number of beaches within the park.‎ Rotorua Accessible from New Zealand's biggest city, Auckland, Rotorua is famous for its volcanic activities. Rotorua is also famous for its plentiful lakes which are great for swimming and fishing. The surrounding area contains plenty of native bushes and some famous walks.‎ Rotorua is also the best area in the country to experience and learn about Maori Culture.‎ Mt Cook National Park Mt Cook as well as the surrounding area is an alpine (高山的) park within the World Heritage listed in South Westland. The biggest peaks in all of Australasia are here. The park doesn't contain many trees or plants due to the altitude. Walks range from a two hour walk to difficult tracks suitable for experienced mountaineers only.‎ A helicopter or plane ride gives visitors excellent views of the mountains with the option of landing at the top of Tasman Glacier, a true permanent snow covered alpine environment.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，主要是向游客推荐了四个新西兰的著名旅游景点。‎ ‎1．The most impressive experience in Fiordland National Park may be ________.‎ A．rock climbs　　　　　　 B．forest camps C．water jumps D．boat trips 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据Fiordland National Park部分第一段最后一句“Being able ‎ to come back and forth in its deep bay attracts most of the visitors.”可推断出，在这个公园乘船游览可能是最令人印象深刻的体验。故选D。‎ ‎2．If you are interested in folk customs, you can go to visit ________.‎ A．Fiordland National Park B．Rotorua C．Mt Cook National Park D．Abel Tasman National Park 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据Rotorua部分第二段“Rotorua is also the best area in the country to experience and learn about Maori Culture.”可判断出，如果你对民间习俗感兴趣，你可以去Rotorua体验和学习。故选B。‎ ‎3．If you go to visit Mt Cook National Park, you can ________.‎ A．view some amazing waterfalls B．enjoy some tropical fruits C．stop on the top of Tasman Glacier D．take walks in various bushes 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，游客在那里可以停留在Tasman Glacier的顶部。故选C。‎ ‎4．What do the four attractions have in common?‎ A．Great beaches.

The announcement comes as a campaign is launched to raise adult maths skills. A survey of 2,300 adults for the numeracy campaign found that over a third thought their level of maths had held them back. An accompanying economic analysis said that a lack of maths skills cost the UK 20 billion pounds per year.‎ The plan to bring 60 Englishspeaking maths teachers from Shanghai is an attempt to learn from a city that has been the top performance in the OECD's Pisa tests. The OECD says that ‎ children of poor families in Shanghai are on average better at maths than middle class children in the UK. The Shanghai teachers, expected to arrive from the autumn, will help share their teaching methods, support pupils who are struggling and help to train other teachers. ‎ ‎“We have some smart maths teachers in this country but what I saw in Shanghai — and other Chinese cities — has only strengthened my belief that we can learn from them，” said education minister, Elizabeth Truss, who has recently visited Shanghai, accompanied by head teachers from England.“They have a cando attitude to maths － and I want us to match that, and their performance.” She stressed the economic significance of raising maths standards, for individuals and the country.“As part of our longterm economic plan, we are determined to drive up standards in our schools and give our young people the skills they need to succeed in the global race. Good maths qualifications have the greatest earnings potential and provide the strongest protection against unemployment，” said the education minister.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。上海将近60名数学老师将于秋季赴英国分享他们的教学方法、帮助学数学困难的学生、培训数学老师来提升英国学生的数学水平。‎ ‎5．Poor maths skills have caused serious ________ consequences in England.‎ A．academic　　　　　　　 B．economic C．cultural D．political 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“An accompanying economic analysis said that a lack of maths skills cost the UK 20 billion pounds per year.”可知，数学技能的缺乏给英国经济带来了严重后果。故B项正确。‎ ‎6．What is the main factor behind Shanghai teachers' success in maths teaching?‎ A．Their students are from poor families.‎ B．Their students have a talent for maths.‎ C．They have a positive attitude to teaching.‎ D．They teach in a highly developed city.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第三段第二句“They have a cando attitude to maths — and I want us to match that, and their performance.”可以判断，是因为他们对数学教学有积极的态度。故C项正确。‎ ‎7．According to Elizabeth Truss, raising maths standards can be helpful in ________.‎ A．equipping young people with global competitiveness B．promoting the pupils' international test performance C．teaching how to earn money in the global market D．discovering one's maths talent at an early age 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据最后一段倒数第二句“As part of our longterm economic plan, we are determined to drive up standards in our schools and give our young people the skills ‎ they need to succeed in the global race.”可知，提高数学水平有助于年轻人具备全球竞争力。故A项正确。‎ ‎8．What can be the best title for the passage?‎ A．Good Maths Skills Are about Hard Work B．Why Are English Maths Standards Left Behind?‎ C．Why Are Shanghai Maths Teachers Getting Popular?‎ D．Chinese Teachers Bring the Art of Maths to English Schools 解析：选D　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了上海近60名数学老师将于秋季赴英国分享他们的数学教学方法、帮助培养学数学困难的学生、培训数学老师。D项“中国老师为英国学校带来数学技巧”最能概括本文大意，适合做标题。故D项正确。‎ C ‎(2018·南昌高三二模)A small family approached. The daughter was young and pretty. Her name was Blair, and she was obviously leaving. Her parents were not. The three gazed at the crowd and began their wait. Blair was twentythree, fresh from graduate school with a handsome resume (简历) but not ready for a career. A friend from college was in Africa as a volunteer for Peace Work, which had inspired Blair to devote the next two years to helping others. Her assignment was in eastern Peru, where she would teach primitive little children how to read. She would live in a hut with no modern conveniences, no electricity, no phone, and she was anxious to begin her journey.‎ The flight would take her to Miami, then to Lima, then by bus for three days into the mountains, into another century. For the first time in her young and sheltered life, Blair would spend Christmas away from home.‎ Luther, her father, was sad that Blair was leaving. The goodbyes had all been said. “Are you sure this is what you want？” had been asked for the hundredth time. Then, the first announcement was made, the one asking those in first class to come forward.‎ ‎“I guess we'd better go，” Luther said to his daughter, his only child. They hugged again and fought back the tears. Blair smiled and said, “The year will fly by. I'll be home next Christmas.”‎ Nora, her mother, bit her lip and nodded and kissed her once more.“Please be careful，” she said because she couldn't stop saying it.‎ ‎“I'll be fine.”‎ They released her and watched helplessly as she joined a long line and inched away, away from them, away from home and security and everything she'd ever known. They turned and got into endless sadness.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了刚刚大学毕业就去秘鲁的偏远山区做志愿者的Blair和父母在机场告别时的情景以及他们内心的感受。‎ ‎9．What's the reason for Blair's decision to help others?‎ A．Her college's requirement.‎ B．Her friend's behavior.‎ C．Her successful career.‎ D．Her parents' support.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A friend from college was in Africa as a volunteer for Peace Work, which had inspired Blair to devote the next two years to helping others.”可知，Blair大学时的一个朋友在非洲做志愿者的行为激励了Blair决定去帮助别人。故选B。‎ ‎10．What were the family waiting for?‎ A．The flight to Miami.‎ B．The flight to Lima.‎ C．The bus to the mountains.‎ D．The bus to another century.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“The flight would take her to Miami, then to Lima, then by bus for three days into the mountains, into another century.”和文章关于机场送行的描述可知，这一家人正在机场等飞往Miami的航班。故选A。‎ ‎11．Which words can best describe Luther and Nora's feelings?‎ A．Pleased and appreciative.‎ B．Indifferent and cold.‎ C．Heartbroken but relaxed.‎ D．Understanding but worried.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第三段“‘Are you sure this is what you want？’had been asked for the hundredth time.”和第五段“Nora, her mother, bit her lip and nodded and kissed her once more.‘Please be careful，’ she said because she couldn't stop saying it.”中父母向女儿告别时的表现和所说的话可推知，他们很担心女儿但理解她所做的决定。故选D。‎ ‎12．What can we infer about Blair in the passage?‎ A．She was twentythree years old.‎ B．She was tired of city life.‎ C．She would be in first class in the flight.‎ D．She used to spend Christmas in Peru.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“Then, the first announcement was made, the one asking those in first class to come forward.”及下一段Blair的父亲所说的“I guess we'd better go”可推知，Blair乘坐的是头等舱。故选C。A项在原文中已提到，不用推断，故排除。‎ D Tips for Cycle Trips Cycling has many advantages as a form of travel, as it is the fastest way to travel by human power, and slow enough to allow type of local involvement that is impossible with powered travel. Cycle travel is a cheap form of transportation.‎ Distance On level terrain (地形), without a headwind, a cyclist of average fitness on a touring bike can comfortably cover 60120km a day. Distances of up to 250km a day are possible, but anything much beyond 120km will require considerable physical tension and not allow many stops to enjoy the places you visit. For many, 80100km a day will be the most suitable distance to aim for, as it will give a sense of achievement and also leave plenty of time for meals and activities.‎ Geography The gradient (坡度) of the trip will reduce your range. A basic rule is that for every 100 meters of altitude you climb, you should add an extra 15 minutes to your journey time. In hilly or mountainous areas, the easiest routes for cycling are downstream along major rivers, as overall they will be downhill. A long, roundabout route along a river will usually be easier than a short, direct route over a hill or mountain pass. However, it is worth bearing in mind that the most scenic routes often come from hilly terrain.‎ Eat Food choice depends largely on where you are, so see the respective sections for more information about foods. As you will be working hard, it's important to get enough energy in your food. On long trips away from major towns － there may be little quality food available, so be prepared to live on candy bars, prepared meat products and the like if the need arises.‎ Sleep While you can take a tent with you, many hotels and especially campsites can accommodate cyclists. However, there are also some hotels that may be less used to accommodating cyclists. If you are exploring an unfamiliar world, asking about the accommodation spares you the search for a new place to stay after a long exhausting day of travel.‎ 语篇解读：本文主要介绍骑行旅游时在骑行距离、地理形势、饮食、住宿四个方面的建议。‎ ‎13．Which distance does the author suggest to ordinary cyclists a day?‎ A．50km. B．90km.‎ C．130km. D．250km.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据小标题Distance下面的“For many, 80100km a day will be the most suitable distance to aim for ...”可知，80km到100km对大多数普通的骑行者而言是最适合的，故选B项。‎ ‎14．From the passage, we can learn that ________.‎ A．high quality food is easy to get on long trips B．hotels seldom provide accommodation for cyclists C．cycling over a mountain is challenging but worthy D．it takes cyclists 15 minutes to climb 100m of altitude 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据小标题Geography下面的最后两句“A long ... that the most scenic routes often come from hilly terrain.”可知，沿着山路骑行比沿河骑行更加艰难，但是最美丽的风景路线常常来自山区地带，即在山区骑行具有挑战性，但也是十分值得的，故选C项。‎ ‎15．We can probably read this passage in ________.‎ A．a geography book B．a research report C．a science fiction D．a travel magazine 解析：选D　文章出处题。文章主要介绍骑行旅游时在骑行距离、地理形势、饮食、住宿四个方面的一些建议，与旅游话题息息相关，很有可能出现在旅游杂志(a travel magazine)上，故选D项。‎ Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Ways to Keep Your Friends For many high school students, our graduation date appears like a ticking time bomb (定时炸弹) for friendships we've had since kindergarten.__1__‎ Video chat. Let's do the obvious one first：FaceTime. I think that seeing your friend's face is a necessity you don't really need me to point out, but talking to your friends keeps the friendship going! If the phone call isn't full of deep conversation, that's fine.__2__‎ Keep sharing everything.__3__ Despite the thousandmile distance between my best friend and me, she knows everything about the crushes (迷恋) I've had, the teachers I've hated and the assignments that have kept me up past 3 am. It takes me 10 seconds to send a text. It's a lot easier to pretend to stay with your friend.‎ Presents! Take a minute to admire the efficiency of the U．S. postal system and send your friend a gift! This is a fun one and a must. Picking it out will make your day, and getting it will make his or her day. __4__ And the thought doesn't have to disappear if the miles between you grow. If anything, this will help the distance feel even less important.‎ ‎__5__ Realize that people change and that your friends won't stay the same no matter how much you want them to. College is a time for people to discover parts of themselves that may have been dormant (潜伏的) in high school, and your friend might start to seem more and more like a different person. Give advice and help him or her keep a level head, but realize that going with the flow might sometimes work in your favor.‎ A．Spare no details, no matter how unimportant.‎ B．Be ready for growth.‎ C．Email or chat online.‎ D．It's always the thought that counts.‎ E．The ways to keep your friends are listed as follows.‎ F．Appreciating the gift really means you've your friends deep in heart.‎ G．Sometimes friendship is just knowing someone's on the other end of the line.‎ 语篇解读：每逢毕业时，学生们之间的友谊总是面临挑战，那么如何在毕业后维持朋友间的关系呢？本文给出了几点建议。‎ ‎1．选E　本空承上启下，用于引出下文，根据下文提到的“Video chat, Keep sharing everything, Presents”等可知，下文主要讲述维持友谊的方法。因此，E项“维持友谊的方法列举如下”，符合语境。‎ ‎2．选G　根据上文中的“If the phone call isn't full of deep conversation ...”可知，G项中的“on the other end of the line”与之对应。‎ ‎3．选A　根据本段主题句“Keep sharing everything.”及空后内容可知，朋友之间应该分享一切。A项与该主题呼应。‎ ‎4．选D　根据空后“And the thought doesn't have to disappear if the miles between you grow.”中的关键词“the thought”可知，D项符合上下文逻辑。‎ ‎5．选B　根据本段内容，特别是空后的“Realize that people change and that your friends won't stay the same no matter how much you want them to.”可知，本段主题与成长有关。故B项(为成长作准备。)适合作本段主题。‎
