如何推斷作者的觀點態度
作者觀點態度題是指針對作者的寫作意圖、觀點態度和對事件的評價設問的題目。作者的觀點態度除了直接言明外，還經常在文章中間接表達出來。我們可以通過全文的敘述，從文章的主要內容出發去理解作者的觀點，切忌主觀臆斷，以自己的觀點取代作者的原意。如第5題，從最后一段A Land of Adventure中的描述可以看出，作者認為此次旅行既有挑戰性又很值得。
(二)閱讀表達
1．How does the writer wake up in the morning
__________________________________________________________
2．What did the Sami use reindeer for
___________________________________________________________
__________________________________
He wakes up to the sound of the wind buffeting the cloth of his tent.
They used the reindeer's meat for food, their bones for tools, and their skin for making clothes and tents.
3．Why does the writer think the sweat and hard work are worth it
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The beautiful and wild place makes him feel lucky. And nothing could be better than breathing the fresh air and enjoying the great adventure.

依據寫作順序把握文章意圖
本語篇是一篇游記類文章，此類文章一般采用時間順序、空間順序、方位順序或移步換景順序行文，閱讀時要把握作者的立足點和觀察點，明確作者是怎樣把觀察到的全貌呈現在讀者面前的，進而透過作者所寫之景和所狀之物來體會作者的內心感受，最終明確文章的主旨大意和寫作意圖。如本文第二、三段按時間順序行文，運用了Around 9,000 years ago→Soon after→In 1909→Today的時間標志介紹薩勒克國家公園的歷史，引導學生體會建立國家公園的意義。

課文寫法借鑒
(一)賞用詞之妙　
1．I wake up to the sound of the wind buffeting the cloth of my tent.
賞析：本句中運用了動詞“buffet”，意為“(風)沖擊”，描繪了風猛烈吹擊帳篷的聲音，表現了自然環境的惡劣。運用了動詞短語“wake up to”，讓讀者身臨其境地感受到作者的經歷，增強了文章的感染力。
2．Being in such a beautiful and wild place makes me feel blessed to be alive.
賞析：本句中“blessed”一詞被用作形容詞，表示感到幸運或受到祝福的狀態。它強調了作者對于身處這樣一個美麗且充滿野性的地方的感激和欣喜。同時，這種情緒也反映了作者對于生命的熱愛和對于自然環境的欣賞。
提能訓練/試翻譯下面的句子
①I wake up to the sound of birds chirping, filled with energy and enthusiasm for the new day.
———————————————————————
②I couldn't wish for a more perfect job.I feel blessed to work here.
————————————————————————
我在鳥鳴聲中醒來，對新的一天充滿了活力和熱情。
我再也找不到更棒的工作了。在這里工作我感到幸福。
(二)賞句式之高　
1．Even though the sun is brightly shining, telling whether it is morning or night is impossible.
賞析：本句是一個復合句。even though引導讓步狀語從句，表示“盡管”，這種表達方式突顯了接下來的信息的重要性。主句中運用了動名詞短語telling ... or night作主語，其中whether引導賓語從句，作telling的賓語，強調了判斷時間的困難程度。
2．For example, this morning my breakfast is flat bread warmed over a fire, dried reindeer meat, and some sweet and sour berries that I found growing near my tent.
賞析：本句中的表語是三個食物名詞，簡潔明了地表達了作者的早餐內容。其中warmed over a fire為過去分詞短語作后置定語，修飾flat bread；that引導定語從句，修飾先行詞berries，更加生動形象地描述了早餐的具體情況。
提能訓練/完成句子
①I looked forward to the pay, ________________________ how much it would amount to.
我期待著這份薪水，盡管我不確定它將是多少。
②The method _______________________ is to have our employees trained now and then.
我們公司采用的方法是不時地對員工進行培訓。
even though I wasn't sure
adopted by our company
(三)賞文筆之美　
I leave my tent and walk over to the mountain edge. Spreading out before me, branches of the Rapa River flow through the valley below. I'm in the remote far north of Sweden in Sarek National Park, a place with no roads or towns.
賞析：這段文字描繪了作者一個人站在瑞典薩勒克國家公園的山區邊緣，俯瞰拉帕河的分支在山谷中流淌的景象。作者使用了第一人稱的視角，使讀者能夠更直接地體會到他的感受。同時作者還通過感官體驗的描寫增強了描述的畫面感，如使用了flow through the valley below的表述讓讀者能夠感受到河流流動的聲音，使讀者對所描繪的環境有更深入的感知。

提能訓練/翻譯句子并體會其中的環境描寫
As I stepped into the room, a wave of warmth surrounded me, accompanied by the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee. Sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains, casting a soft glow on the furniture. It felt like a peaceful sanctuary.
當我踏進房間，_______________________，伴隨著剛煮好的咖啡的香氣。陽光透過薄薄的窗簾，_________________________。這感覺就像一個寧靜的避風港。

一股溫暖的浪潮包圍著我
給家具披上一層柔和的光暈

[1]Who are you and what do you do
My name is Lauren Elizabeth Pirie Bath. Until a few years ago I was a chef, and a happy one at that, but I wanted more out of life.I wanted to travel. So I decided to post pictures on my web page. In less than 18 months, there were over 200,000 people reading my pictures! At first, I only regarded it as a hobby, but companies started paying me to take photos and publish them. In 2013, I was determined to make my dream come true: I would become Australia's first professional photographer. It was a challenging job, but I did it. Now I spend three weeks out of every month travelling and have over 464,000 fans following me online. I've got to know more about this country and its people.
[2]What is your connection to Western Australia
I first visited Western Australia for work in 2013. I fell in love with northern WA and have been back six times. Some of my favourite photographs were taken there. I have made over 140 work trips, but my best work trip ever was to Broome in the Kimberley region.
[3] What do you love most about Western Australia
It is extremely beautiful and you can experience the indigenous Australia there more than anywhere else. The Kimberley region, in particular, is unique and untouched. As a photographer, I love the bright light and amazing colours: red rocks, green plants, blue-green waters and blue skies.

Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
While most parks tend to draw families in the summer and fall, there are also ideal spots for adventurous winter trips.
Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
The country's oldest and best-known national park takes on an almost otherworldly atmosphere in winter: the air filled with rolling steam, the strong colors of hot springs, the surrounding white landscapes, let alone the impressive wildlife during this time, like bison (野牛), wolves and playful red foxes. Just book a guided hiking tour to get a ranger's perspective on the park and local people.
Joshua Tree National Park, California
With its giant red rocks and unique trees, you'll feel like stepping onto a foreign planet as you spend hours hiking the Panoram a Loop or Maze Loop. The park is recognized as an International Dark Sky Park, featuring virtually zero light pollution and the country's best views of a starry sky.
Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
A significantly lower number of visitors in winter means you can take in unblocked views of the South Rim, and get to see the rare beauty of the Grand Canyon dusted with snow. For those adventurous and daring, it is recommended to hike the Bright Angel Trail and take the chance to see the canyon's wintertime wildlife, including mule deer, elk (駝鹿), and bald eagles.
Virgin Islands National Park, St. John
Surprise! Not all wintertime national park trips need to involve snow. Virgin Islands National Park is most famous for its white-sand beaches. You can also hike inland to visit old sugar plantations, or venture out to the water to swim along with sea turtles and manta rays. You will definitely enjoy a different winter here.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇應用文。文章介紹了四個適合冬季冒險旅行的國家公園。
1.Which park will one choose if he or she is interested in stars
A．Yellowstone National Park.
B．Joshua Tree National Park.
C．Grand Canyon National Park.

√
解析：細節理解題。根據“Joshua Tree National Park, California”部分中“The park is recognized as ... best views of a starry sky.”可知，如果游客對星星感興趣，可以去Joshua Tree National Park。
2．What can we know from the passage
A．The Bright Angel Trail is challenging in cold weather.
B．The four parks are all well-known for the sports on snow.
C．There is a slight drop in visitor numbers in winter in these parks.
D．Virgin Islands National Park lies in an area with rolling steam and hot springs.
√
解析：推理判斷題。根據“Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona”部分中“For those adventurous ... and bald eagles.”可推知，在冬天去the Bright Angel Trail徒步旅行是具有挑戰性的。
3．What's the best title for the passage
A．The Ideal Spots for Adventures
B．The Rules to Follow in the Wild
C．The Big Attractions for Families
D．The Best National Parks in Winter
√
解析：標題歸納題。根據第一段并結合后文內容可知，本篇文章主要介紹了四個適合冬季旅行的國家公園。由此可知，D選項(冬季最佳國家公園)適合作本文最佳標題。
B
One week after I started working in Beijing, I decided to visit a place of interest called the Summer Palace. Before setting off, I researched it on the Internet. The Summer Palace is composed mostly of a lake, but it's surrounded by beautiful greenery and a walkway that circles the lake. It is recommended that you give the Summer Palace about three hours. If you try to walk around it, it could take five or six hours. With that knowledge of it, I set off.
The highlight of the tour had to be the view from the Tower of Buddhist Incense. It sits on the top of a large hill overlooking the lake and is worth a climb. It was built as a place to worship Buddha. And in the Summer Palace, unlike in most of other places, photography isn't allowed in most of the buildings. Most of the statues of Buddha and the other artifacts are ________ to photos.
off-limits
Another highlight was seeing the stage created for the Dowager Empress where she watched operas and other theater items. There are box seats that surround the stage and it is large. You could almost imagine royalty reviewing the actors from the boxes and the stage.
I do recommend taking a boat ride if you go, which takes you from one side of the lake to the other side where you can see another set of buildings. And it is fun. You can also rent an electric or paddle boat if you want. But since it was just me, I went on one of the biggest boats with other people.
I spent another four hours wandering around the Summer Palace. But I didn't see all of it because it was getting dark. How I wish I could visit it again.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章記敘了作者游玩北京頤和園的經歷。
4．Before setting off to the Summer Palace, the author ___________.
A．asked others about it
B．didn't think it was large
C．didn't think it was small
D．learned something about it
√
解析：細節理解題。根據第一段中“Before setting off, I researched it on the Internet.”可知，作者在出發前上網了解了一些頤和園的情況。
5．What does the underlined word “off-limits” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Forbidden. B．Allowed.
C．Charged. 　 D．Limited.
√
解析：詞義猜測題。根據第二段中“And in the Summer Palace, unlike in most of other places, photography isn't allowed in most of the buildings.”可知，頤和園的大多數建筑不允許拍照。由此推知，位于建筑中的佛像和手工藝品大多也禁止拍照，因此off-limits與forbidden意思相近。
6．What do we know about the stage mentioned in the text
A．It sits on the top of a hill.
B．It is the largest stage all over China.
C．Operas are performed there at times.
D．It was for royalty to watch performances.
√
解析：細節理解題。根據第三段中“Another highlight was ... and other theater items.”可知，戲臺是給皇室看戲劇等演出的。
7．Which of the following correctly describes the author's tour
A．She took a boat by herself.
B．She spent four hours in the Summer Palace.
C．She only toured parts of the Summer Palace.
D．She didn't enjoy the trip because it was too late.
√
解析：細節理解題。根據最后一段中“But I didn't see all of it because it was getting dark. How I wish I could visit it again.”可知，因為天快黑了，所以作者沒能欣賞到頤和園的全部景觀。
Ⅱ.閱讀七選五
Cities are diverse ecosystems. In addition to visitors from the world, a large number of species share our urban areas. _____
Because cities are built for humans, they do not always provide suitable habitats for wildlife. _____ But when we cut grass or plant flowers, we destroy natural habitats.
8
9
However, our actions sometimes help other species. When a bridge in Austin, Texas was repaired, engineers added small gaps running along the length of its bottom. This made a good home for bats, and soon the bridge was the home of thousands of bats. ______Now, they have come to value their winged neighbours. The bats are a tourist attraction, and they eat lots of bugs every night.
10
_____The Beijing Olympic Forest Park is a good example. The park used native plants and created open, natural spaces for wildlife: The result is a zone in Beijing with over 160 species of birds. In many ways, the park is the opposite of a zoo. ______
11
12
Another example is a tall “Birdscraper” building in New York, which is in the middle of a lake. Birds would sit on it, and their droppings would fall into the water to feed water plants which would then create oxygen through photosynthesis (光合作用)．
Only if we learn to share our space can we become better neighbors to the wildlife around us.
A．Therefore, we should learn to exist in harmony with nature.
B．Instead of being kept in cages, wildlife can move about freely.
C．At first, people were afraid of the bats and tried to get rid of them.
D．There are also structures built with the objective of bringing wildlife into the city.
E．For example, most city parks are kept neat and tidy so that humans will find them beautiful.
F．In the past, bats always disturbed the life of people there and caused a lot of trouble to them.
G．As our cities spread, we need to think about what it is like for other species to have human neighbors.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了作者對人類城市與野生動物關系的思考。
8．選G　根據上文可知，本段談論的是人與其他物種之間的關系，選項G(隨著我們的城市擴張，我們需要思考其他物種有人類鄰居是什么樣的) 符合語境。
9．選E　根據上文可知，城市是為人類建造的，城市的公園也是為人類服務的。選項E(例如，大多數城市公園都保持整潔，這樣人們就會發現它們很美) 符合語境。
10．選C　根據后句的時間標志詞可以判斷，空格處所填句子與后文內容存在時間節點的對照關系，選項C中的At first與后面的Now形成對比，且與蝙蝠有關。
11．選D　聯系下文可知，本段主要介紹有些建筑是為野生動物建造的，所以選項D (也有一些建筑是為了將野生動物引入城市而建造的)符合語境。
12．選B　根據上文可知，這個公園為野生動物提供開放的、天然的空間。選項B(野生動物可以自由活動，而不是被關在籠子里)符合語境，其中的Instead of與空前句中的opposite形成意義上的呼應。Section Ⅰ　“Reading and Thinking”的課文習讀環節

如何推斷作者的觀點態度
作者觀點態度題是指針對作者的寫作意圖、觀點態度和對事件的評價設問的題目。作者的觀點態度除了直接言明外，還經常在文章中間接表達出來。我們可以通過全文的敘述，從文章的主要內容，尤其是飽含情感色彩的詞匯及表邏輯關系的關鍵詞出發去理解作者的觀點，切忌主觀臆斷，以自己的觀點取代作者的原意。如第5題，從最后一段A Land of Adventure中的“difficult”“However ... feel blessed”等詞匯可以看出，作者認為此次旅行既有挑戰性又很值得。

依據寫作順序把握文章意圖
本語篇是一篇游記類文章，此類文章一般采用時間順序、空間順序、方位順序或移步換景順序行文，閱讀時要把握作者的立足點和觀察點，明確作者是怎樣把觀察到的全貌呈現在讀者面前的，進而透過作者所寫之景和所狀之物來體會作者的內心感受，最終明確文章的主旨大意和寫作意圖。如本文第二、三段按時間順序行文，運用了Around 9,000 years ago→Soon after→In 1909→Today的時間標志介紹薩勒克國家公園的歷史，引導學生體會建立國家公園的意義。
(一)賞用詞之妙
1．I wake up to the sound of the wind buffeting the cloth of my tent.
賞析：本句中運用了動詞“buffet”，意為“(風)沖擊”，描繪了風猛烈吹擊帳篷的聲音，表現了自然環境的惡劣。運用了動詞短語“wake up to”，讓讀者身臨其境地感受到作者的經歷，增強了文章的感染力。
2．Being in such a beautiful and wild place makes me feel blessed to be alive.
賞析：本句中“blessed”一詞被用作形容詞，表示感到幸運或受到祝福的狀態。它強調了作者對于身處這樣一個美麗且充滿野性的地方的感激和欣喜。同時，這種情緒也反映了作者對于生命的熱愛和對于自然環境的欣賞。
①I wake up to the sound of birds chirping, filled with energy and enthusiasm for the new day.
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
②I couldn't wish for a more perfect job.I feel blessed to work here.
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
(二)賞句式之高
1．Even though the sun is brightly shining, telling whether it is morning or night is impossible.
賞析：本句是一個復合句。even though引導讓步狀語從句，表示“盡管”，這種表達方式突顯了接下來的信息的重要性。主句中運用了動名詞短語telling ... or night作主語，其中whether引導賓語從句，作telling的賓語，強調了判斷時間的困難程度。
2．For example, this morning my breakfast is flat bread warmed over a fire, dried reindeer meat, and some sweet and sour berries that I found growing near my tent.
賞析：本句中的表語是三個食物名詞，簡潔明了地表達了作者的早餐內容。其中warmed over a fire為過去分詞短語作后置定語，修飾flat bread；that引導定語從句，修飾先行詞berries，更加生動形象地描述了早餐的具體情況。
①I looked forward to the pay, ______________________________ how much it would amount to.
我期待著這份薪水，盡管我不確定它將是多少。
②The method ____________________________is to have our employees trained now and then.
我們公司采用的方法是不時地對員工進行培訓。
(三)賞文筆之美
I leave my tent and walk over to the mountain edge. Spreading out before me, branches of the Rapa River flow through the valley below. I'm in the remote far north of Sweden in Sarek National Park, a place with no roads or towns.
賞析：這段文字描繪了作者一個人站在瑞典薩勒克國家公園的山區邊緣，俯瞰拉帕河的分支在山谷中流淌的景象。作者使用了第一人稱的視角，使讀者能夠更直接地體會到他的感受。同時作者還通過感官體驗的描寫增強了描述的畫面感，如使用了flow through the valley below的表述讓讀者能夠感受到河流流動的聲音，使讀者對所描繪的環境有更深入的感知。
As I stepped into the room, a wave of warmth surrounded me, accompanied by the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee. Sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains, casting a soft glow on the furniture. It felt like a peaceful sanctuary.
當我踏進房間，__________________________，伴隨著剛煮好的咖啡的香氣。陽光透過薄薄的窗簾，________________________________。這感覺就像一個寧靜的避風港。
文章通過訪談的形式介紹了一位攝影愛好者的工作內容、與西澳大利亞州的淵源以及其對自然和環保的看法，引導學生了解不同國家和地區的風土人情，學會欣賞和尊重文化多樣性，關注人與自然和諧相處，提升綠色環保意識，為共建綠色家園盡自己的一份力量。
[1]Who are you and what do you do
My name is Lauren Elizabeth Pirie Bath. Until a few years ago I was a chef, and a happy one at that, but I wanted more out of life.I wanted to travel. So I decided to post pictures on my web page. In less than 18 months, there were over 200,000 people reading my pictures! At first, I only regarded it as a hobby, but companies started paying me to take photos and publish them. In 2013, I was determined to make my dream come true: I would become Australia's first professional photographer. It was a challenging job, but I did it. Now I spend three weeks out of every month travelling and have over 464,000 fans following me online. I've got to know more about this country and its people.
[2]What is your connection to Western Australia
I first visited Western Australia for work in 2013. I fell in love with northern WA and have been back six times. Some of my favourite photographs were taken there. I have made over 140 work trips, but my best work trip ever was to Broome in the Kimberley region.
[3] What do you love most about Western Australia
It is extremely beautiful and you can experience the indigenous Australia there more than anywhere else. The Kimberley region, in particular, is unique and untouched. As a photographer, I love the bright light and amazing colours: red rocks, green plants, blue green waters and blue skies.
[4]How does your love of nature influence your photography
， you have to love nature. I try to take every opportunity to get outside and admire the natural world. I love to photograph the rising sun, so I force myself into the natural world by waking early each day. I also enjoy photographing animals, such as dolphins and kangaroos.
[5]Does your photography support environmental protection
I hope so. I use my photography to make an impact on people, especially when it comes to environmental issues. Today I've been photographing a crocodile ， the Kimberley Quest, all day. When I post the picture online, I will make a comment about . This crocodile is used to passengers throwing food from boats and now she is becoming familiar with humans. Over time, this could make her a danger to people living in the area. If I can do something to make others aware of the problem, then that's part of the solution.

Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
While most parks tend to draw families in the summer and fall, there are also ideal spots for adventurous winter trips.
Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
The country's oldest and best known national park takes on an almost otherworldly atmosphere in winter: the air filled with rolling steam, the strong colors of hot springs, the surrounding white landscapes, let alone the impressive wildlife during this time, like bison (野牛), wolves and playful red foxes. Just book a guided hiking tour to get a ranger's perspective on the park and local people.
Joshua Tree National Park, California
With its giant red rocks and unique trees, you'll feel like stepping onto a foreign planet as you spend hours hiking the Panoram a Loop or Maze Loop. The park is recognized as an International Dark Sky Park, featuring virtually zero light pollution and the country's best views of a starry sky.
Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
A significantly lower number of visitors in winter means you can take in unblocked views of the South Rim, and get to see the rare beauty of the Grand Canyon dusted with snow. For those adventurous and daring, it is recommended to hike the Bright Angel Trail and take the chance to see the canyon's wintertime wildlife, including mule deer, elk (駝鹿), and bald eagles.
Virgin Islands National Park, St. John
Surprise! Not all wintertime national park trips need to involve snow. Virgin Islands National Park is most famous for its white sand beaches. You can also hike inland to visit old sugar plantations, or venture out to the water to swim along with sea turtles and manta rays. You will definitely enjoy a different winter here.

B
One week after I started working in Beijing, I decided to visit a place of interest called the Summer Palace. Before setting off, I researched it on the Internet. The Summer Palace is composed mostly of a lake, but it's surrounded by beautiful greenery and a walkway that circles the lake. It is recommended that you give the Summer Palace about three hours. If you try to walk around it, it could take five or six hours. With that knowledge of it, I set off.
The highlight of the tour had to be the view from the Tower of Buddhist Incense. It sits on the top of a large hill overlooking the lake and is worth a climb. It was built as a place to worship Buddha. And in the Summer Palace, unlike in most of other places, photography isn't allowed in most of the buildings. Most of the statues of Buddha and the other artifacts are off limits to photos.
Another highlight was seeing the stage created for the Dowager Empress where she watched operas and other theater items. There are box seats that surround the stage and it is large. You could almost imagine royalty reviewing the actors from the boxes and the stage.
I do recommend taking a boat ride if you go, which takes you from one side of the lake to the other side where you can see another set of buildings. And it is fun. You can also rent an electric or paddle boat if you want. But since it was just me, I went on one of the biggest boats with other people.
I spent another four hours wandering around the Summer Palace. But I didn't see all of it because it was getting dark. How I wish I could visit it again.
4．Before setting off to the Summer Palace, the author ________.
A．asked others about it
B．didn't think it was large
C．didn't think it was small
D．learned something about it
5．What does the underlined word “off limits” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Forbidden. B．Allowed.
C．Charged. D．Limited.
6．What do we know about the stage mentioned in the text
A．It sits on the top of a hill.
B．It is the largest stage all over China.
C．Operas are performed there at times.
D．It was for royalty to watch performances.
7．Which of the following correctly describes the author's tour
A．She took a boat by herself.
B．She spent four hours in the Summer Palace.
C．She only toured parts of the Summer Palace.
D．She didn't enjoy the trip because it was too late.

Cities are diverse ecosystems. In addition to visitors from the world, a large number of species share our urban areas. __8__
Because cities are built for humans, they do not always provide suitable habitats for wildlife. __9__ But when we cut grass or plant flowers, we destroy natural habitats.
However, our actions sometimes help other species. When a bridge in Austin, Texas was repaired, engineers added small gaps running along the length of its bottom. This made a good home for bats, and soon the bridge was the home of thousands of bats. __10__ Now, they have come to value their winged neighbours. The bats are a tourist attraction, and they eat lots of bugs every night.
__11__ The Beijing Olympic Forest Park is a good example. The park used native plants and created open, natural spaces for wildlife: The result is a zone in Beijing with over 160 species of birds. In many ways, the park is the opposite of a zoo. __12__
Another example is a tall “Birdscraper” building in New York, which is in the middle of a lake. Birds would sit on it, and their droppings would fall into the water to feed water plants which would then create oxygen through photosynthesis (光合作用)．
Only if we learn to share our space can we become better neighbors to the wildlife around us.
A．Therefore, we should learn to exist in harmony with nature.
B．Instead of being kept in cages, wildlife can move about freely.
C．At first, people were afraid of the bats and tried to get rid of them.
D．There are also structures built with the objective of bringing wildlife into the city.
E．For example, most city parks are kept neat and tidy so that humans will find them beautiful.
F．In the past, bats always disturbed the life of people there and caused a lot of trouble to them.
G．As our cities spread, we need to think about what it is like for other species to have human neighbors.
UNIT 3　課時檢測(一)
Ⅰ.閱讀理解
[A]
語篇解讀：本文是一篇應用文。文章介紹了四個適合冬季冒險旅行的國家公園。
1．選B　細節理解題。根據“Joshua Tree National Park, California”部分中“The park is recognized as ...best views of a starry sky.”可知，如果游客對星星感興趣，可以去Joshua Tree National Park。
2．選A　推理判斷題。根據“Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona”部分中“For those adventurous ...and bald eagles.”可推知，在冬天去the Bright Angel Trail徒步旅行是具有挑戰性的。
3．選D　標題歸納題。根據第一段并結合后文內容可知，本篇文章主要介紹了四個適合冬季旅行的國家公園。由此可知，D選項(冬季最佳國家公園)適合作本文最佳標題。
[B]
語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章記敘了作者游玩北京頤和園的經歷。
4．選D　細節理解題。根據第一段中“Before setting off, I researched it on the Internet.”可知，作者在出發前上網了解了一些頤和園的情況。
5．選A　詞義猜測題。根據第二段中“And in the Summer Palace, unlike in most of other places, photography isn't allowed in most of the buildings.”可知，頤和園的大多數建筑不允許拍照。由此推知，位于建筑中的佛像和手工藝品大多也禁止拍照，因此off limits與forbidden意思相近。
6．選D　細節理解題。根據第三段中“Another highlight was ...and other theater items.”可知，戲臺是給皇室看戲劇等演出的。
7．選C　細節理解題。根據最后一段中“But I didn't see all of it because it was getting dark. How I wish I could visit it again.”可知，因為天快黑了，所以作者沒能欣賞到頤和園的全部景觀。
Ⅱ.閱讀七選五
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了作者對人類城市與野生動物關系的思考。
8．選G　根據上文可知，本段談論的是人與其他物種之間的關系，選項G (隨著我們的城市擴張，我們需要思考其他物種有人類鄰居是什么樣的) 符合語境。
9．選E　根據上文可知，城市是為人類建造的，城市的公園也是為人類服務的。選項E (例如，大多數城市公園都保持整潔，這樣人們就會發現它們很美) 符合語境。
10．選C　根據后句的時間標志詞可以判斷，空格處所填句子與后文內容存在時間節點的對照關系，選項C中的At first與后面的Now形成對比，且與蝙蝠有關。
11．選D　聯系下文可知，本段主要介紹有些建筑是為野生動物建造的，所以選項D (也有一些建筑是為了將野生動物引入城市而建造的)符合語境。
12．選B　根據上文可知，這個公園為野生動物提供開放的、天然的空間。選項B (野生動物可以自由活動，而不是被關在籠子里)符合語境，其中的Instead of與空前句中的opposite形成意義上的呼應。
