【解题导语】 本文主要讨论了旅游中如何享受美景以及游客普遍存在的问题。
【难句分析】 Intheprocessofrecreatingwithourownhandswhatliesbeforeoureyes,wenaturallymovefromapositionofobservingbeautyinaloosewaytoonewhereweacquireadeepunderstandingofitsparts.
分析:
本句是一个复合句。
what引导宾语从句,在从句中作主语;where引导定语从句,在从句中作状语,修饰先行词one,此处的one相当于oneposition。
译文:
在用我们的双手重塑眼前事物的过程中,我们自然地从一种随意地欣赏美的状态转换为一种我们深度欣赏其各个部分的状态。
4.AccordingtoParagraph2,whentakingpictures,peopletendto________.
A.forgettoappreciatesomethingattractiveonthespot
B.findithardtolearnskillsoftakinggoodpictures
C.findagoodwaytokeepthingsintheirminds
D.haveachancetomeetthechallengeofnewtechnology
解析:
A 考查细节理解。
根据文章第二段的第二句“Firstly,wearelikelytobesobusytakingpicturesthatweforgettolookattheworldwhosebeautyandinterestencourageustotakeaphotographinthefirstplace”可知,人们忙着拍照而忘了欣赏风景。
5.AccordingtoRuskin,whatshouldtravelersdotobestexpresstheirappreciationofanddesireforsomethingbeautiful?
A.Tospeakitoutopenly.
B.Tophotographitinstantly.
C.Topurchaseitimmediately.
D.Topaintitdirectly.
解析:
D 考查细节理解。
根据第三段的最后一句“But,inRuskin'seyes,there'sjustonethingweshoulddo—attemptingtodrawtheinterestingthingswesee,regardlessofwhetherwehappentohaveanytalentfordoingso”可知,Ruskin认为,旅游者把自己看到的美景直接画下来而不用去理会自己是否擅长这么做就是对美景欣赏的最好表达。
干扰项分析:
A项错在speak,文章中并没有提到要说出来;B项错在立马拍下来,这正是Ruskin所批判的;C项错在purchase,文章中并没有提到要把美景购买下来,很明显这是不可能的。
6.Fromthefourthparagraph,wecaninferthatRuskinencouragesustobe________.
A.considerateanddetermined
B.activeandadventurous
C.creativeandthoughtful
D.sensitiveandambitious
解析:
C 考查推理判断。
根据第四段的“Intheprocessofrecreatingwithourownhands...weacquireadeepunderstandingofitsparts”可推知,Ruskin鼓励我们要有创造性,对景观要有深刻的理解。
7.Theunderlinedword“deplored”inthelastparagraphisclosestinmeaningto“________”
A.appreciatedB.criticized
C.favoredD.ignored
解析:
B 考查词义猜测。
根据最后一段的“theblindnessandhurryofmoderntourists”并结合Ruskin的主张可推知,deplore意为“批判,不赞成”,故选B。

【解题导语】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。
“我”骑自行车去镇中心时要经过山地,“我”经历了从开始的抱怨到将山地当作锻炼契机的过程。
人生之旅也是如此,我们要有战胜生活中的艰难的勇气。
【难句分析】 FinallyIcomfortmyselfwiththethoughtofallthosesillypeoplewhopaymoneytogotoagymandsitonstationaryexercisebicycleswhenIcangetthesamevalueforfree.
分析:
该句为主从复合句,句中whopaymoneytogotoagymandsitonstationaryexercisebicycles为定语从句,修饰先行词people;whenIcangetthesamevalueforfree为when引导的时间状语从句。
译文:
我可以免费获得同样的锻炼效果,而那些愚蠢的人却花钱去健身房用固定式健身自行车去锻炼;最后我以此念头来安慰自己。
8.Whichofthefollowingistrueaccordingtotheauthorofthepassage?
A.Thosewhowanttoachievesuccesscan'texpecttoliveaneasylife.
B.Climbinghillsonbicyclesisthebestwaytotakeexercise.
C.Goingtoagymisgreatlybeneficialtopeople'shealth.
D.People'sattitudetohardshipsistheonlyfactoroftheirsuccess.
解析:
A 考查推理判断。
根据第三段的第二句“Wecannotachieveanythingwithaneasylife”可知,简单容易的生活不会使我们取得成功;据此可以推断,想要成功就不要期望过容易的生活,故A项正确。
干扰项分析:
B项错在best,根据常识可知,骑车登山并不一定是最好的锻炼方式,B项陈述太绝对;C项文中没有提及;D项错在only,根据常识可知,面对困难的态度并非是成功的唯一因素,D项陈述太绝对。
