A
It used to be one of the world’s most splendid train stations,sitting on the FrenchSpanish border—but then it fell into disrepair.Now,writes Chris Bockman,the building is showing new signs of life.
The train station was built in iron and glass,complete with a hospital,a restaurant and living quarters for customs officers from both France and Spain.At the time it was nicknamed the “Titanic of the Mountains”.
But after the day the station was opened in 1928 by the French president and the Spanish king,flaws quickly became obvious.The rail gauges(轨距) were different,so passengers still had to change trains.It made transporting goods too slow.In the early 1930s,as few as 50 passengers a day were using the station.And then things got worse.During the Spanish Civil War,the tunnels on the Spanish side were sealed off to prevent Republican rebels(反叛者) from bringing weapons in.Later,the French lost interest in the line.When a train derailed on the French side in 1970,that signaled that France abandoned the line.
The grand building itself went to rot.The tracks rusted,the ceilings fell in with the severe winter weather and vandalism(故意破坏财物的行为) did the rest.
But a few years ago the local government in Aragon decided to buy the place and restore it,claiming it was a major part of Spanish history.The French government has agreed to reopen the line on its side too.If all goes to plan,the “Titanic of the Mountains” could be back in business within five years before the end of 2022.It is reported that the massive wooden ticket counters at the station have already been restored.
1.The following factors contributed to the shutdown of the train station EXCEPT ________.
A.its poor appearance
B.different gauges
C.the Spanish Civil War
D.slow transporting speed
2.What will probably happen to the train station?
A.It will be repaired.
B.It will be turned into a museum.
C.It will be knocked down.
D.It will be sold to the French government.
3.What is the best title for the text?
A.The Design of a Train Station
B.The War Between France and Spain
C.The History of a Train Station
D.The “Titanic of the Mountains” Coming Back
B
Being stuck behind crowds of slow walkers when you’re in a hurry is one of the most annoying things. But now, Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex, one of the UK’s largest shopping malls, has introduced its very own fast lane for shoppers in a hurry, aiming to help impatient shoppers avoid slow walkers and the anger that goes with them.
The Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex has introduced a 720foot “fast lane” reserved for fast walkers only, just in time for the festive rush. The centre’s management team said,“ The lane will help the shoppers who know where they want to go quickly and don’t want to get caught in behind unhurried shoppers at the busiest time of the year.”
The fast lane was introduced after a MasterCard survey found that 80 percent of consumers found slow walkers their biggest annoyance while shopping. The research also found that the average walking speed slowed down by 21 percent during the festive shopping period, as most shoppers spent more time window shopping during this period.
Gary Mortimer, an expert from the Queensland University of Technology, said he wasn’t surprised by the promotion about the launch of the fast lane, and thought the concept would appeal to shoppers all over the world. “Crowded parking lots and busy shopping centres tend to be two of the biggest complaints of shoppers over the festive season,” he said.“I think the fast lanes are a new approach. However, I suspect it will be a bit like fast lanes on the highway, so it might end up being more trouble than its worth.”
The MasterCard survey also identified the four most common types of shoppers. They include “Skaters” who try and make their way through crowds politely,“Dodgers” who move down the paths to avoid slow walkers, “Bulldozers” who push their way through crowds, and “Tutters” who express their frustrations to slow walkers.
4.The fast lane is intended for the shoppers who ________.
A.can’t move quickly because of physical disabilities
B.buy things on their shopping lists quickly
C.take their time to do window shopping
D.want to leave the mall quickly
5.What is Gary Mortimer’s attitude to the fast lane?
A.Supportive. B.Indifferent.
C.Critical. D.Objective.
6.Who may patiently move behind a slow crowd?
A.Skaters. B.Dodgers.
C.Bulldozers. D.Tutters.
7.What is the main idea of the text?
A.Shopping can be annoying sometimes.
B.How to avoid slow walkers when shopping.
C.The problems that shopping centres face during busy holidays.
D.The shopping mall creates the fast lane to avoid slow walkers.

题型重组练(四)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
【解题导语】 本文讲述了法国和西班牙边境的一座火车站的历史变迁。
1.A 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The rail gauges(轨距) were different,so passengers still had to change trains.”可知,轨距不同是造成火车站关闭的原因之一;根据第三段中的“During the Spanish Civil War...bringing weapons in.”可知,西班牙内战是造成火车站关闭的原因之一;根据第三段中的“It made transporting goods too slow.”可知,运输速度慢是造成火车站关闭的原因之一。故选项A不是造成火车站关闭的原因,所以选A。
2.A 解析:推理判断题。根据第五段首句“But a few years ago the local government in Aragon decided to buy the place and restore it”可知,几年前阿拉贡的当地政府要购买并且恢复该火车站。restore意为“使恢复,修复”,所以选A。
3.D 解析:标题归纳题。根据全文尤其是第一段中的“the building is showing new signs
of life”和第五段中的“If all goes to plan,the ‘Titanic of the Mountains’ could be back”可知,选项D能够概括全文,所以选D。
【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了英国一家大型购物中心在节日高峰期引进快速通道一事。
4.B 解析:推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“But now, Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex, one of the UK’s largest shopping malls, has introduced its very own fast lane for shoppers in a hurry, aiming to help impatient shoppers avoid slow walkers and the anger that goes with them.”和第二段最后一句“The centre’s management team said,‘The lane will help the shoppers who know where they want to go quickly and don’t want to get caught in behind unhurried shoppers at the busiest time of the year.’”可推知,快速通道是为那些想迅速购物的人而设计的,故选B。
5.D 解析:观点态度题。根据对第四段的整体理解可知,Gary Mortimer对快速通道进行了全面的评论,既表示肯定,又看到了潜在的劣势,因此其态度是客观的,故选D。
6.A 解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句中的“‘Skaters’ who try and make their way through crowds politely”可推知,Skaters在购物时会耐心地跟在缓慢的人群后,故选A。
7.D 解析:主旨大意题。文章第一段开篇点题,并结合对全文的整体理解可知,本文主要报道了大型购物中心引进快速通道,从而在购物高峰期使购物迅速的人避开缓慢购物者的新闻,故选D。
【长难句分析】 The fast lane was introduced after a MasterCard survey found that 80 percent of consumers found slow walkers their biggest annoyance while shopping.
分析:本句是一个复合句。after a MasterCard survey found... while shopping为after引导的时间状语从句,在此状语从句中含有that引导的宾语从句,that在从句中不作句子成分。
译文:在一项MasterCard的调查中发现,80%的顾客认为在购物时走路慢的人使他们最为气恼,之后快速通道就被引进了。
Ⅱ.完形填空
【解题导语】 文章寓意深刻,通过不同案例告诉我们信念的力量以及如何利用信念的力量来挖掘我们的潜力。
1.A 解析:考查动词辨析。由下文中的runners可以看出,这里表达的意思是:很多年以来,人们一直认为一个人不可能在4分钟以内跑完1英里的路程,直到1954年Roger Banister证明这一观点是错误的。所以选run。walk走;swim游泳;jog慢跑。
2.B 解析:考查形容词辨析。由语境可知,Roger Banister跑一英里用了不到4分钟,这证明人们多年来的那一观点是错误的,故选wrong。
3.A 解析:考查动词辨析。句意:在一年内,有37位运动员打破了这一信仰障碍。
break the barrier为固定搭配。这里的信仰障碍就是上文所说的:人们一直认为一个人不可能在4分钟以内跑完1英里的路程。
4.D 解析:考查名词辨析。由下文的“swim its way”可以看出,这里是把一个动物放到了水塘里,所以选pond,意为“池塘,水塘”。句意:如果你把一个动物放进水塘里,会怎么样呢?
5.A 解析:考查动词辨析。由下文的“Because you believe you will drown while the animal does not.”可以看出,这里表达的意思是:人会淹死是因为人认为自己会淹死,所以选drown,意为“淹死”。
6.B 解析:考查动词辨析。由上文中的“Any animal,big or small,will swim its way through.”可以看出,这里表达的意思是:如果一个没有学会游泳的动物能够通过游泳逃脱(死亡),人为什么不能呢?所以选escape。
7.B 解析:考查名词辨析。上面叙述的是一些事例,所以选cases。句意:这些事件展示了信念的重要性。sample样本;situation情形;period时期。
8.D 解析:考查形容词辨析。这是对上一句的“These ________ show the power of beliefs.”的进一步阐述,所以选powerful,意为“强大的,有力的”。
9.C 解析:考查动词辨析。由and后面的“to destroy”,再结合前文动物与人落水因信念不同所造成的生死之别可以看出,应该选create,意为“创造”。句意:我们的信念有创造和毁灭的力量。
10.B 解析:考查动词辨析。realize one’s potential意为“发挥/实现个人潜能”。句意:在某种程度上,正是我们的信念决定了我们实现我们潜能的程度。discover发现;show展示;withdraw退出,收回。
11.B 解析:考查名词辨析。上一句强调了信念(belief)的重要作用,该句承接上一句话,意思是:因此,应该注意一下你的一些信念,所以选beliefs。problem问题,麻烦;possibility可能性;subject主题。
12.C 解析:考查名词辨析。这三句话是以Do you...开头的排比句,前两句说的都是消极的信念,四个选项中只有problems(麻烦事)符合语境。句意:你认为生活中麻烦重要吗?surprise惊讶的事;choice选择;possibility可能的事。
13.D 解析:考查形容词辨析。句意:信念一点也不神秘。mysterious神秘的,符合句意。beautiful优美的;changeable可改变的;strong强壮的。
14.D 解析:考查形容词辨析。由语境并结合常识可以看出,咬人的狗是危险的,所以选dangerous。
15.D 解析:考查副词辨析。一旦改变了想法,一个新的(生活、工作)模式自然就产生了,所以选automatically,意为“自动地”。occasionally偶然地;accidentally意外地;immediately立刻地。
