The country has so many to see that you'll probably not want to limit yourself to just one city.‎ Hurghada—A Water Sports ‎Paradise With 250 hotels ranking from comfortable 3－star hotels up to 5－star accommodation, the main attraction of staying here is the activities in and on the warm waters. It has become an international centre for water sports, allowing visitors to take part in surfing, sailing and deep sea fishing. The waters are also home to a huge variety of coral and fish, making it a dream spot for diving. If all that isn't enough, Hurghada is home to some of the world's finest underwater gardens.‎ Luxor‎—An Open‎ Air ‎Museum of Ancient History For those with an interest in Egyptian history, Luxor is an excellent place to ‎ 10‎ stay and is built upon the site of the ancient Egyptian city of Thebes. If you make this the base for your Egypt holiday, you're basically staying in an open air museum! The modern city of Luxor has the ruins of Karnak. Across the Nile lie many more monuments, temples and tombs including the Valley of the Kings and the Queens. The Nile sailing is necessary for those with an interest in the country's ancient history. ‎ Cairo‎—The ‎Capital‎ ‎City Finally, of course, there's Cairo. It's definitely a starting point for most of Egypt holiday makers. Cairo offers an excellent mix of culture, art, cooking and sightseeing chances. With the famous pyramids, various temples and some fascinating museums, Cairo is a fantastic choice if you can come to the city.‎ 语篇解读：本文主要介绍了埃及旅游的三处景点。‎ ‎1．Visitors flood to Hurghada mainly because it can offer them ________.‎ A．the funniest botanic gardens B．choices of water activities C．a brief history of ‎Egypt D．the mix of culture and art ‎[解析]　细节理解题。由标题“Hurghada—A Water Sports Paradise”以及介绍的大量水上运动可知，游客到Hurghada来主要是因为它提供各种与水有关的运动。‎ ‎[答案]　B ‎2．Which of the following cities do most tourists visit first in Egypt?‎ A．Cairo.

I had just returned to America from a year abroad in China. So, naturally I wanted to take a trip to Canada.‎ Montreal, the second largest city in Canada, is a four－hour drive from my home in New Hampshire. We felt a thrill as we crossed the border into Canada. It was the first time I had ever driven across an international border. We turned on the radio to try and find some Canadian stations.‎ After dropping off our bags at our hotel, we were immediately walking down the famous St Catherine's Street. While we walked, two things surprised us: how cold it was and how well everyone dressed. The streets of Montreal are like a fashion show. Both_men_and_women_look_like_they_stepped_out_of_the_pages_of_a_magazine.‎ All of that fashion has to keep them warm since Montreal is so cold. Last year it broke the record for the most snowfall in North America. To hide from the cold we went into a small diner because we wanted to order Poutine, a very popular snack in Montreal. It is French fries covered in cheese and brown gravy(肉汁). It is delicious.‎ However, we had a hard time ordering the dish since the official language of Montreal is French. It is actually the fifth largest French－speaking city in the ‎ 10‎ world. But since the rest of Canada speak English, plenty of people were there to help.‎ We spent the rest of the weekend going to many historical churches and monuments in Montreal. But at night we'd head to the very modern dance clubs and bars. Montreal is a city that sits between the past and the future and the traveller can choose whichever direction he wants to go.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在加拿大蒙特利尔的经历。那里寒冷的天气、人们入时的服装、美食、著名历史景点等都给作者留下了深刻的印象。‎ ‎4．How do you understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?‎ A．The men and women are really the fashion models of a magazine.‎ B．The portraits of the men and women are printed in the magazine.‎ C．They are so well dressed that they look like models in a magazine.‎ D．The men and women like to copy characters in magazines.‎ ‎[解析]　细节理解题。根据该段中的“how well everyone dressed”可知，在作者看来，蒙特利尔的人穿着时尚，像杂志里的模特。‎ ‎[答案]　C ‎5．Which of the following can NOT be concluded from Paragraphs 3～4?‎ A．The author and his friends couldn't wait to explore the city.‎ B．The author wasn't used to the weather of Montreal.‎ C．The citizens from Montreal care much about what they wear.‎ D．Montreal often holds fashion shows.‎ ‎[解析]　细节理解题。根据第三段第一句话中的“... we were immediately walking...”可知作者和他的朋友迫不及待地想参观蒙特利尔。根据第四段中的“To hide from the cold...”可以推知作者并不适应那里的寒冷。根据第三段最后两句可知蒙特利尔的人们非常注重着装。D项文中未提及，故选D。‎ ‎[答案]　D ‎6．What can we infer from the passage?‎ A．The author often went to China for a visit.‎ B．The people they met in the diner were kind and helpful.‎ C．All the people in the diner were locals.‎ D．The author went to Montreal on business.‎ ‎[解析]　推理判断题。根据第五段中“But since the rest of Canada speak English, plenty of people were there to help.”可推知作者及朋友在餐馆碰到的人非常友好且乐于助人。‎ 10‎ ‎[答案]　B ‎7．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A．The author listened to Canadian radio programmes and chose their first stop as advised.‎ B．The author took a trip to Montreal—the third largest city in Canada.‎ C．Montreal broke the record for the most snowfall in the world last year.‎ D．Montreal is a city which is both traditional and modern.‎ ‎[解析]　细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“Montreal is a city that sits between the past and the future...”可知，蒙特利尔既有往昔的风采，也有现代的气息，由此可确定答案为D。‎ ‎[答案]　D C In our everyday lives we meet situations in which we take many things for granted. We only treasure things when they are gone. This is a sad truth of human nature. One day, I found myself as a witness to a similar situation.‎ One evening, I left work and boarded the train. After entering, I noticed something unusual. The center of the car had a few empty seats while both ends were crowded with people standing. I didn't pay much attention and sat down on one of the empty seats. I sensed a funny smell. It wasn't long before I noticed a homeless person sleeping on three seats in front of me. He was bleeding from his nose. Why wasn't anyone helping him?‎ His clothes were torn and he was giving off a strange smell. Along with the smell, his eyes were dull, watery, and red. Occasionally he scratched himself and people looked at him as if he had committed a crime. As the train stopped at stations and more people came in they covered their noses and faced away from him. All the seats around him were empty.‎ Suddenly, he began to swear at the people around him. A plain－clothes police officer who looked like a construction worker took out his certificate and showed it to the homeless man. The officer, not wanting to touch the homeless man, told him his rights and directed him to exit the train. As the officer walked the man out of the train, the homeless man turned around and said “MY HOME！” and started crying.‎ A man doesn't value things until they are gone. If he didn't have a home, at least he had freedom. Now he has neither. No one wants to help someone who won't 10‎ ‎ help himself.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。乘坐火车时，“我”发现了一个流浪汉，他衣衫褴褛，身上散发异味，乘客们避而远之。突然，他开始咒骂他周围的乘客。后来流浪汉被便衣警察带走，他不仅没有家，这一次还失去了自由。‎ ‎8．When entering the car, how did the author feel at first?‎ A．Annoyed.

We can't help replying to that message we just received. However, while it's fun to keep up with the latest gossip, we may actually be putting ourselves in danger.‎ A team of researchers from two UK universities recently found that people who use their phones while on the move walk differently than usual. “Recently, a person in front of me was walking very slowly and winding, and I thought, ‘Is this person drunk？’” Mattew Timmis, co－author of the study, told the Guardian.‎ It turned out that the person was just texting. Inspired by this, Timmis and his team set out to discover the effects of phone use on how we walk across streets.‎ A group of 21 volunteers were asked to walk around a simulated(模拟的) street, complete with obstacles such as a step. The participants traveled the course a total of 12 times each, either writing or reading a message, making a call, or with no phone at all.‎ It took the volunteers 118 percent longer to complete the course when using a phone. They also focused on the step obstacle 60 percent more and paid attention to the travel path 51 percent more when they weren't using a phone.‎ Although there were no accidents, Timmis believes we should still be aware of what's going on around us. ‎ ‎“The big risk here is suddenly－appearing dangers, like a pedestrian(行人) suddenly walking in front of you，” he told the Guardian. “You are not going to be able to respond to that as efficiently, which increases the risk of injury.”‎ To bring attention to the dangers of “text walking”， a temporary “texting lane” was set up in Antwerp, Belgium in 2015. And earlier this year, a special crosswalk with flashing red lights on the ground to get the attention of texters was set up in Wuhan, Hubei.‎ ‎“Texting while walking can lead to running into poles or other pedestrians. ‎ 10‎ You could even be endangering your own life when you cross the street without looking up，” a spokesperson for the company that made the Antweip texting lane told the Guardian.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。《卫报》报道称：专家们研究发现走路玩手机有诸多潜在危险，比如撞人，摔倒等，为此有些地方采取了一些措施来引起公众对“低头族”“手机族”危害的关注。‎ ‎12．What did the UK researchers recently discover about texting while walking?‎ A．It's a common problem all around the world.‎ B．It has caused more traffic accidents.‎ C．People are risking their lives while texting.‎ D．People walk in a different way when texting.‎ ‎[解析]　细节理解题。题干问的是英国研究人员对人们在走路时发信息有什么发现。根据第二段第一句可知，人们边走路边发信息时，走路方式和平时不一样。故选D。‎ ‎[答案]　D ‎13．How much longer did it take for people to complete the course when using a phone in Timmis's experiment?‎ A．12 percent longer. B．51 percent longer.‎ C．60 percent longer. D．118 percent longer.‎ ‎[解析]　细节理解题。题干问的是在试验中边走路边使用手机的人走完这段路的时间增长了多少。根据第五段第一句可知所花时间多了118%。故选D。‎ ‎[答案]　D ‎14．What was the purpose of setting up the “texting lane” in Belgium?‎ A．To provide a safe lane for text walking.‎ B．To warn of the dangers of text walking.‎ C．To give an example of a modern lane.‎ D．To attract more people to walk in the lane.‎ ‎[解析]　细节理解题。题干问的是比利时修建“手机族人行道”的目的是什么，根据第八段第一句可知，目的是引起人们对边走路边发信息的危险性的关注。故选B。‎ ‎[答案]　B ‎15．What can we learn from the text?‎ A．We take the risk of our lives to reply to a message.‎ B．The volunteers traveled the course using their phones.‎ C．The special crosswalk helps avoid accidents.‎ D．The volunteers carried out the experiment in a texting lane.‎ 10‎ ‎[解析]　推理判断题。根据最后一段及倒数第二段第二句可推知，特殊的人行横道有助于避免事故的发生，故选C。‎ ‎[答案]　C Ⅱ.七选五阅读填空 ‎(2018·湖南、江西十四校联考)Variety is the spice of language. The words listed in this book are not intended to replace those that most people use most of the time. Rather, they are variations on the theme. We tend to use the same old words over and over again, to limit our powers of expression by limiting our vocabulary. There is nothing wrong with the “old words”. __1__‎ How often have you spoken of having an accident? __2__ Everyone talks of the usual thing to do or expect. Might not one, to enrich his speech, speak of the customary thing or why not occasionally describe a situation as aggravated instead of worsened?‎ ‎__3__ Vary them with the “new words”. English is an especially rich language, and often there are tiny differences between two words that are generally regarded as the same. Thus, a mishap is not merely an accident; it is an unfortunate accident. (There can be fortunate accidents, like bumping into an old friend you haven't seen for years and whose address you've lost.) __4__ Other examples: fragrant, for smelling good, or having a nice smell; morsel, for bit, deft, for skillful or clever.‎ No doubt a good many words in the list will be familiar to you, but do you use them, or do they remain the “property” of others? They are included to introduce variety, into your speech and writing. __5__ Let them compete, and make your language all the richer.‎ A．Don't throw away the “old words”．‎ B．Our interest in learning will be discouraged.‎ C．But why not enhance your speech and writing by learning to use new ones from time to time as alternatives?‎ D．English words are grouped according to their origins.‎ E．Can we use the alternative mishap(小事故) once in a while?‎ F．So, in using mishap instead of accident, you must be sure of the distinction.‎ G．Try to make these words your own, as companions or friendly rivals of the ones you have managed with in the past.‎ 10‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。丰富的词汇可以使语言表达能力更强，词汇量更丰富。本文鼓励我们扩大词汇量，提高我们的表达能力。‎ ‎1．[解析]　上文提到，使用旧词汇会限制我们的表达方式和词汇量的积累，但使用旧词汇没有错。C项“但是为什么不通过学习偶尔使用新词汇来强化你的语言和写作水平呢”与上文形成转折，符合语境。故选C。‎ ‎[答案]　C ‎2．[解析]　根据上文的“accident”可知，E项中的“mishap(小事故)”与其表达一致。故选E。‎ ‎[答案]　E ‎3．[解析]　根据下文内容可知，要多学习新词汇，同时也要注意新旧词汇的细微差异。A项“不要扔掉旧词汇”符合语境，且A项中的“old words”与下文的“them”含义一致。故选A。‎ ‎[答案]　A ‎4．[解析]　上文讲述了accident和mishap的细小差别。F项“因此，用mishap而不是accident的时候一定要确定二者之间的区别”承接上文，符合语境。故选F。‎ ‎[答案]　F ‎5．[解析]　本段主要是劝说读者学习更多新词汇以丰富自己的语言表达。G项符合本段内容。故选G。‎ ‎[答案]　G 10‎
