Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
Pakistan should be everyone’s tourist destination for 2019,but what if you already live there? Then perhaps you should consider visiting these five must-visit places for the new year.
Lake Saiful Muluk
At an altitude of 3,224 m,surrounded by snowy mountains,the lake rewards those that make the three-hour uphill walk from Naran.You will find the pathway just above the free market,but there is a superior option to get a jeep and split the costs with some other tourists;expect to pay about 700 rupees,worth it to view this natural beauty.
Deosai National Park
As another high point in Pakistan,it has an average altitude of 4,114m—the Deosai Plains are one of the highest plateaus(高原) in the world.If you make it to the park,you expect to find rich plants and wild animals.The breathtaking scenery on show at the plains is enough to make 2018 a memorable year.
Naltar Valley
Accessible via a 2.5-hour drive from Gilgit,well worth visiting.Covered with pine trees and other plant life,it has a dreamlike feel about it.Various colors all year round will make you fall in love.
Shangrila Resort
Right in the north of Pakistan in the central valley of Gilgit-Baltistan.Locals call this a paradise(樂園),and that’s what it feels like.No visit is complete without checking out the restaurant which is built in the structure of an aircraft.
Rama Meadow
Doesn’t feel like Pakistan at all,more like somewhere in Minnesota.Watch the sheep and cows feeding while clear water flows in streams from high in the mountains.Against Chongra’s ice-covered peak,this little meadow is a piece of art.
【語篇解讀】 本文是一篇應用文。作者介紹了2019年巴基斯坦值得游覽的五個地方。
1.What is the best means to go to Lake Saiful Muluk?
A.Drive a jeep in person.
B.Take the way of ride-sharing.
C.Choose an uphill walk from Naran.
D.Follow the pathway above the free market.
答案 B [細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Lake Saiful Muluk中的“there is a superior option to get a jeep and split the costs with some other tourists”可知,前往Lake Saiful Muluk更好的方式是找一輛吉普車,與其他游客分擔費用。split costs“分擔費用”,故選B項。]
2.Where may you go if interested in wild animals?
A.Lake Saiful Muluk.
B.Deosai National Park.
C.Rama Meadow.
D.Naltar Valley.
答案 B [細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Deosai National Park中的“you expect to find rich plants and wild animals”可知,在Deosai National Park,人們可以欣賞到多種植物和野生動物,故選B項。]
3.What can we know about Rama Meadow?
A.It is what the Pakistanis like best.
B.It is just located next to Minnesota.
C.It is an attractive and peaceful place.
D.It is a dream destination for adventurers.
答案 C [推理判斷題。根據(jù)Rama Meadow中的“Watch the sheep and cows...is a piece of art”可知,這里的牛、羊在草原上悠閑地吃草,清澈的溪水從冰雪覆蓋的高山上流下來。可以想象出這是一個恬靜、溫馨、安詳?shù)牡胤?,故選C項。]
B
(2019·太原模擬)For your next out-of-this-world vacation,you now have the option of literally going out of this world—but it’ll cost you $40 million.Then again,can you really put a price tag on having the time of your life? According to a new report from Popular Mechanics,Russia is looking to build a luxury hotel in outer space.There you will wake up to see a breathtaking blue planet—the earth! The hotel is expected to be stationed on the International Space Station (ISS).
While space tourism itself isn’t exactly a novel idea,the notion of building a hotel out there hasn’t been raised before.Really,other companies are still focused on the transportation part of the__puzzle—after all,a trip to space is enough for most folks.
According to Popular Mechanics,the hotel will include a luxury orbital suite with big windows,personal hygiene (衛(wèi)生) facilities,exercise equipment,and yes,WiFi.Because if you can’t share your experience on social media,did it really even happen?
Of course,the reasons behind the hotel aren’t just for fun and games.Apparently,space tourism might be able to help the Russians pay for another module to add to the International Space Station.Russian space contractor RKK Energia is currently building the first such module,which will give scientists a laboratory and power supply station from which to conduct tests.
If any of this is going to happen,however,Russia is going to have to hurry.With the ISS expected to be out of use in 2028,there’s little time to build the hotel and find wealthy tourists to actually pay for a trip into outer space.
So if you’ve recently come into a fortune and are interested in investing in what could be the time of your life,ISS is calling your name.

【語篇解讀】 本文為說明文。主要介紹了餐桌禮儀。
1.where [空處是關(guān)系副詞,引導定語從句,修飾先行詞the West,同時在從句中作地點狀語。]
2.are placed [句子講述的是客觀情況,要用一般現(xiàn)在時;主語the dishes與動詞place之間是被動關(guān)系,所以要用被動語態(tài)。]
3.to show [主人上菜給客人,附帶有公筷,這是為了表示對客人的禮貌??仗幾髂康臓钫Z,應用動詞不定式。]
4.left [此處為with復合結(jié)構(gòu),空處作賓語the food的補足語,并且the food與leave之間是邏輯上的動賓關(guān)系,所以要用過去分詞。]
5.to [be polite/impolite to sb是固定短語,意思是“對某人禮貌/不禮貌”。]
6.the [“fan”就是漢字里表示“翻過來”的意思。此處表示特指,故要用定冠詞the。]
7.fishermen [fisherman為可數(shù)名詞,且其前無限定詞修飾,故空處應用名詞的復數(shù)形式。]
8.separation [空處前面有定冠詞the修飾,再結(jié)合空后的of可知,空處應填名詞。]
9.extremely [空處修飾后面的形容詞useful,作狀語,要用副詞。]
10.eastern [空處作定語,修飾后面的名詞country,表示“東方的”,所以要用eastern。]
