Ⅱ.阅读理解
(2017·皖北协作区高三联考)Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own，not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.
Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life.“It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.”Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.
In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.
Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person，” said the 30yearold man.
Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”， which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything.” He said, “The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I'm dealing with a difficult task.”“I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”
The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said, “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”
1．Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?
A．Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.
B．It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.
C．It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.
D．Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.
2．Traveling alone is challenging because ________.
A．you have to make things on your own
B．it is hard for you to prove yourself to others
C．you can only depend on yourself whatever happens
D．it will finally build your character
3．What can we infer about Chris Richardson?
A．He started traveling alone at an early age.
B．He was once shot in the arm.
C．He used to work as a salesman.
D．His website inspires others a lot.
4．What is the best title for the passage?
A．Travel Abroad
B．Travel Unaccompanied
C．Travel Light
D．Travel Wide and Far

答
案
Ⅰ.1.选C 由答语中的“I have got a spare one.”可知，答话人应是让对方不要担心。故C项Not to worry“没关系(用于指某事不重要)”符合语境。
2．选C 句意：考虑到你现在的情绪不好，你最好把工作推迟到下周，到时你可能会情绪高点。in view of“考虑到；鉴于”，符合句意。in spite of“尽管；不管”；in terms of“就……而言”；in place of“代替；顶替”。
3．选D 句意：“那辆小汽车撞到了大树上，损伤很严重。”“我想司机当时开得速度很快。”根据语境可知，此处指在小汽车撞到大树时，司机开车的速度很快，故应用过去进行时。故答案选D。
4．选A 某些形容词(pleasant, nice, comfortable, difficult, hard, easy等)后接动词不定式时，常用主动形式表示被动意义。
5．选D 句意：玛丽亚用知识和经验给面试官们留下了深刻的印象，因此她得到了这份工作。impress sb. with sth.“用某物给某人留下深刻的印象”，符合题意。provide“提供”；inspire“鼓励；激励”；persuade“说服”。
6．选C 句意：网上购物已经在中国流行起来，这是我们现代生活快节奏的结果。pace“步伐；速度”，符合句意。
7．选B put sb. at a disadvantage“使某人处于不利地位”。
8．选B 句意：我们应该牢记，很多事故都是由酒后驾驶造成的。此处由that引导bear的宾语从句，that在从句中不作成分。
9．选C 句意：由于地震后大部分房屋严重被毁，许多人不得不住在体育馆。put up可以表示“供给……住宿”，符合句意。put away“把……收好”；put out“扑灭”；put off“拖延；推迟”。
10．选A attitude常与介词to或towards连用，意思是“对……的态度”。
11．选A 句意：为了保护环境，人们被鼓励乘公交车。transport“交通；运输”，public transport“公共交通”，固定搭配。service“服务”；means“方法；方式”；transfer“转移；调动”。
12．选A 句意：只要我能身处自然，我就不在乎旅途有多么艰辛。空格处为让步状语成分，how和what修饰名词结构为：what＋(形容词)＋名词＋主语＋谓语，相当于how＋形容词(副词)＋主语＋谓语，由此可知答案选A。
13．选D 考查insist引导的宾语从句表示虚拟与陈述语气的用法。句意：于芳坚持说累了并愿意留下住一夜，而我建议她马上走。当insist表示“坚持说”时，后接的宾语从句用陈述语气，表示“坚持要求”时，后接的宾语从句用虚拟语气。第一个insist表示“坚持说”，故其后的宾语从句用陈述语气，而第二个insist则表示“坚持要求”，故谓语动词用(should＋)go。
14．选A 句意：很多百万富翁已经承诺死后捐赠出他们的财产帮助其他需要帮助的人。give away 表示“捐赠；赠送”，符合句意。后三项分别表示“放弃”“用尽；分发”“发出(气味、光等)”。
15．选A 句意：要想写出好文章，首先得认真组织一下自己的想法。organize“组织”；settle“解决；定居”；report“报告”；speak“说出”。由句意知应选A项。
Ⅱ.
语篇解读：文章介绍了单独旅行的好处、挑战以及感受。
1．选A 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“it is something everyone should do”可知答案为A。
2．选C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段的第一句话“在国外，没有人帮你看地图，你生病的时候没有人照顾你，你钱包被偷的时候没有人借钱给你，这些都是有挑战性的”可知应选C。
3．选C 推理判断题。根据第四段的第一句话可知A项错误，而C项正确。根据第五段的第一句话可知B项错误，文章中用的是比喻的修辞手法，并不是胳膊上真的中了一枪；D项文中未涉及。故答案为C。
4．选B 标题归纳题。根据文章第一段中的“traveling around the world on their own”以及下文多次出现的alone一词可知，B项最适合做文章标题，其中unaccompanied“无人陪伴的”与alone同义。故答案为B。
Ⅲ.参考范文：
Some students support the idea that students can be admitted to universities through interviews. They express that interviews can evaluate a student in a more thorough way. It can encourage students to develop their own interests and personalities.
On the other hand, other students are against this idea. They argue that first,
interviews may be subjective and onesided,
which could lead to unfairness. Second, not all students are good at showing their talents in interviews.
As far as I'm concerned, with the development of society, a more open and efficient way to test a student's abilities is needed. Only in this way can universities receive as many top students as they want and students themselves also realize their dreams.
