【文章內容簡介】 行的經歷。作者從中收獲了很多。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據第一段“For years, decades in fact, I39。ve puzzled over the response most people have when I tell them I mostly travel alone.”多年來，甚至幾十年來，當我告訴大多數人我主要是獨自旅行時，他們的反應讓我感到困惑。故選B。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據倒數第三段中的“She announced by letter two days before our departure that she would be leaving me halfway at Vienna. It was too late by then to rope in another friend, so it was either to go home after Vienna, or keep going by myself. I kept going. I got on trains by myself, checked into hostels by myself and found my way around by myself.”在我們動身的前兩天，她寫信通知我，她將在維也納中途離開我。那時再找一個朋友已經太晚了，所以我要么從維也納回家，要么一個人繼續(xù)走。我繼續(xù)。我自己上了火車，自己住旅館，自己找路?？芍P于她第一次獨自旅行，作者說她不得不選擇自己去，故選B。 （3）考查詞義猜測。根據最后一段中的“That was three decades ago, and since then I have travelled all over the world, usually on my own. I still do what I did then, which is to keep a diary.”那是30年前的事了，從那時起，我周游世界，通常是獨自一人。我仍然做我當時做的事，那就是記日記。由此可知，文“The greatest gift of solo travel has been those I39。ve met along the way.”的意思是獨自旅行最棒的禮物就是一路上遇到的人。 solo travel 的意思是獨自旅行，故選C。 （4）考查細節(jié)理解。根據最后一段中的“I may have set off alone each time but I39。ve encountered many people who became important to me. I met my husband in Kathmandu, Nepal. I met lifelong friends in Australia, Poland, Hungary, Turkey, India, Indonesia and many other places.”我可能每次都是獨自出發(fā)，但我遇到了很多對我很重要的人。我在尼泊爾加德滿都遇見了我的丈夫。我在澳大利亞、波蘭、匈牙利、土耳其、印度、印度尼西亞等地結識了一生的朋友。可知作者從她的旅行中得到的好處是一路上她遇到了很多人，故選D。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和詞義猜測兩個題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息，并根據上下文的邏輯關系，進行推理歸納，從而選出正確答案。4．閱讀理解 If we want to find out what kind of technology people used in the past, we normally have to rely on archaeologists to find ruined buildings and parts of tools or instruments or machines. Archaeologists then try to reconstruct, sometimes with the help of puter technology, what these ancient buildings and objects must have looked like, and how they might have been made. Sometimes historians are lucky and find an ancient document with a written description of these ancient buildings and objects. We can understand, then, why Chinese historians were so excited when they found cave paintings which show ancient science. They found these paintings in the worldrenowned Mogao Grottoes of Dunhuang City, in Northwest China39。s Gansu Province. There are 500 manmade caves and they have survived for at least 1,600 years. Almost all of these caves have paintings on their ceilings or walls and they date from the 4th to 14th centuries. Wang Jinyu is an expert on these cave paintings (also called frescoes) and he says: We discovered frescoes containing scientific and technological content in almost all of the caves which have frescoes. What is remarkable about these cave paintings according to the Xinhua News Agency is that they provide evidence of scientific and technological inventions by ancient Chinese in maths, physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography, agronomy, architecture, textiles, traffic and transportation, arms and military equipment and medical sciences. Among the discoveries experts have made are cave paintings showing ancient techniques of pottery making and wine production and paintings showing ancient weaving machines and then toothbrushes! The paintings also give some evidence of the lifestyle at the time with, for example, pictures of people boiling milk over 1,000 years ago. Experts believe that there is more evidence to be found, but even now the caves are a wonderful natural museum. If the walls and ceilings of the caves were all put together they would form a tapestry 20 kilometers long and 2 meters high! It won39。t be possible to travel back in timethat only happens in filmsbut visiting these caves would be the nearest experience you could get to travelling back in time.（1）Why were Chinese historians excited when they found cave paintings showing ancient science? A.Because they had rarely seen cave paintings.B.Because they could make the place a tourist attraction.C.Because they could learn about ancient science through them.D.Because they would be given lots of money for the discovery.（2）The Mogao Grottoes of Dunhuang City______. A.have 500 manmade cavesB.have been there for at most 1,600 yearsC.help us to know little about ancient scienceD.have paintings on their ceilings in every cave（3）Experts had discovered cave paintings showing the ancient techniques of ______. A.pottery making and wine productionB.weaving machines and toothbrushesC.boiling milk over 1,000 years agoD.architecture and weaving（4）The article is more likely to be selected from the magazine ______. A.Modern CountriesB.Business WorldC.Network WorldD.Popular Science【答案】 （1）C（2）A（3）A（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，講述了科學家們在中國甘肅的敦煌莫高窟的洞穴中發(fā)現了反映古代科學的壁畫。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據第二段中的What is remarkable about these cave paintings according to the Xinhua News Agency is that they provide evidence of scientific and technological inventions by ancient Chinese in maths, physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography, agronomy, architecture, textiles, traffic and transportation, arms and military equipment and medical sciences可知，這些壁畫為中國古代在數學、物理、化學、天文，地理、建筑以及農學等領域的科技發(fā)明提供了證據，由此可知科學家們對此感到很興奮的原因是他們可以通過這些壁畫了解古代的科學，故選C。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據第二段中的There are 500 manmade caves and they have survived for at least 1,600 years.可知，敦煌莫高窟有500個人工洞穴，故選A。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據第三段中的Among the discoveries experts have made are cave paintings showing ancient techniques of pottery making and wine production and paintings可知，科學家發(fā)現壁畫中展示了古代制陶和釀酒技術，故選A。 （4）考查推理判斷?？v觀全文可知，本文介紹了科學家們在中國甘肅敦煌莫高窟的洞穴中發(fā)現了反映古代科學的壁畫，這屬于科學范疇，因此文章最有可能出自科學雜志，故選D。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，要求考生準確掌握細節(jié)信息，并根據上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。5．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. Milton Hershey was born near the small village of Derry Church, Pennsylvania, in 1857.
