　　Washington Sightseeing Guide

　　White House — No trip to Washington would be complete without a visit to 1600 Pennsylvania Aye. Public tours have been offered since Thomas Jefferson was president, but you can?t just drop in. Visits to the White House are in high demand, and you must make your request through your member of Congress (国会) up to six months, and no fewer than 21 days, before your visit. Be sure to check the White House tour­info Web site to make sure about the personal identification you’ll need. And on the day of your visit, call 2024567041 to confirm the tour schedule.

　　U．S. Capitol (国会大厦)—The U．S. Capitol is one of the citys most popular tourist destinations. Your visit begins at the visitor center; plan to arrive about 45 minutes before your tour to get through security (the building is open Monday­Saturday from 8：30 a．m. to 4：30 p．m. ). While waiting, look around the center’s exhibition space, which features such historic treasures as the table used by Abraham Lincoln and the House gavel (小木槌) used during the roll call vote to declare war on Germany and Italy in 1941. In fact, even if you dont have tour tickets, the visitor center is worth a stop if you?re in the area.

　　President Lincoln?s Cottage — You shouldn?t miss this stop, the hilltop home where President Abraham Lincoln and his family lived during part of the Civil War.

　　Lincoln?s Cottage is simply furnished but features lighting effects and actors? recordings that reveal Lincoln?s thoughts on slavery and the war. “In the library you can actually see the ghost lines of where the library shelves would have been，” says cottage director Erin Carlson Mast. “We haven’t recreated the bookshelves because that was such an amazing moment of discovery for us that we wanted to preserve that so people can have that moment of discovery themselves. ”

　　Library of Congress — The Library of Congress is housed in three buildings: the Thomas Jefferson Building, James Madison Memorial Building and the John Adams Building. Although trying to see all of it in one day is possible, it?s probably best to do a little thinking ahead and figure out which areas you?d really like to explore(i. e, when your feet start to hurt, you won?t feel so bad about not catching everything). The most popular visitor destination is the Thomas Jefferson Building, but there are things worth seeing — murals (壁画), sculptures, performances — elsewhere in the complex.

　　1．Which is TRUE about the White House?

　　A．It is a new tourist attraction.

　　B．It is open only to members of Congress.

　　C．A reservation for a visit is required.

　　D．You should call 2024567041 during your visit.

　　2．It can be learned that you________to see the things on show in the visitor center of the U. S. Capitol.

　　A．have to wait

　　B．arrive early

　　C．needn’t get a ticket

　　D．have to get a ticket

　　3．In Lincolns Cottage, you can________.

　　A．see actors giving performances

　　B．see the bookshelves in the study

　　C．hear the recorded voice of Lincoln

　　D．learn about Lincolns opinions on slavery

　　4．The Library of Congress________.

　　A．is made up of two buildings

　　B．is made up of three buildings

　　C．is in the Thomas Jefferson Building

　　D．is in the James Madison Memorial Building

　　5．The paragraph about the Library of Congress implies that________.

　　A．there is so much to see there

　　B．there are so many visitors there

　　C．you neednt spend so much time there

　　D．you should drive there instead of walking

　　(2015· 徐州市第三次调研考试)Does reading great literature expand our imagination and better our moral and social sensibilities？For most people, its just wishful thinking because there’s no evidence that people are morally or socially better for reading Tolstoy or other great books.

　　But just hold on a second there.Actually, there is such evidence, says US writer Annie Murphy Paul.She argues in Time magazine that “deep reading”， as opposed to browsing web pages, makes us nicer and smarter.

　　Her evidence includes several studies carried out by some psychologists.

　　One is based in Canada.Two psychologists found that individuals who often read fiction appear to be better able to understand other people, sympathize with them and view the world from their perspective.

　　But this improvement is only possible if we do deep reading, which isn’t just about understanding the meaning of each word, Paul explains.Deep reading is “slow, devoted, rich in sensory detail and emotional and moral complexity”．Through processing details, comparisons, and other literary devices, the readers brain creates a mental representation as if the scene were unfolding in real life.

　　It’s said that reading a good book is like falling in love with the writer.Paul cites another study by psychologist Victor Nell from a university in South Africa，who found that when readers are enjoying the experience most，the pace of their reading slows.

　　The combination of fast, fluent understanding of words and slow, unhurried progress on the page gives deep readers time to enrich their reading with their own thoughts, analysis, memories and opinions.It’s as if reader and writer were engaged in a deep and real conversation, like people falling in love.

　　None of this is possible when we browse web pages.We will eventually lose the ability to appreciate our literary heritage because novels, poems and other kinds of literature can be understood only by readers whose brains are trained to read them.And even some educators just meet young people where they are by adapting education to their onscreen habits.

　　With the electronic devices spreading universally, Paul warns, deep reading has become an endangered practice. We should care about how we read as much as what we read. So pick up a book, sit back, and let a spiritual journey begin that will take you places only deep reading can.

　　(1)________ Deep reading makes people better

　　Common belief It has not been (2)________ that people are morally or socially better for reading literature.

　　Present studies Canadian study

　　●Fiction readers seem to be more (3)________ towards other people.

　　●Deep reading helps (4)________ a mental representation in the readers’ brain.

　　South­African study

　　●Deep readers will slow down when their reading experience is most (5)________．

　　●Deep readers can (6)________ their reading with their own thoughts, analysis, memories and opinions.

　　(7)________ ●Without (8)________ their brains to read literature, people are losing the ability to appreciate it.

　　●Some educators blindly (9)________education to students’ onscreen habits.

　　Suggestion We should care about the (10)________ we read as much as the contents.

　　答案

　　Ⅰ.

　　语篇解读：本文为一篇议论文。作者对“敞开你的心扉”这句话一直排斥，认为敞开心扉会受到别人的影响，所以和周围的人保持距离。在看到周围人们融洽地交流时，自己也试着敞开心扉，最终认识到自己既可以保持个性也可以融入人群。

　　1．选C　每当“我”听到这句话，不论是从电影，音乐还是从成人的话语中。所以用whether，表示“不论”，与后面的or形成whether ... or ...结构，表示“不论……还是……”。

　　2．选A　根据下文中的“rather than following a practical approach to life”可知，作者认为敞开心扉意味着失去自己的判断而不是遵循人生的实用方法。

　　3．选D　根据下文中的“my distrust of others”可知，真正的问题是作者对其他人不信任。question指说话者需要解决或解答的问题；problem指被提出的问题，特别指疑难的、困难的问题。结合文意可知选D。

　　4．选D　从过去的经历(experience)看来，打开“我”的心扉意味着给别人机会来影响“我”对自己的感受。

　　5．选B　此处为定语从句的引导词，从句中的enter为及物动词，且和先行词the dangerous area为动宾关系，所以用关系代词that。

　　6．选A　根据“I distanced myself from other people”可知，此处表示“我”越长大，就越疏远其他人，distance oneself from ...“拉开距离，与……疏远”，所以选A。注意：distance oneself from ... 已经有了远离的意思，不必再用farther。

　　7．选B　当“我”看到其他人轻松地(easily)交流，彼此相处融洽的时候，“我”感到忌妒。

　　8．选C　根据上文中的“communicating and getting on with one another”可知，人们交流、相处的同时分享(sharing)他们的经历和感受，此处为现在分词sharing作伴随状语，因此选择C。

　　9．选C　根据前文可知，作者拒绝敞开心扉，但是看到其他人的融洽相处时，他开始认为自己想错了。

　　10．选D　根据前文中的“dangerous area”可知，作者认为敞开心扉是危险的，此处表示作者直到最近才有勇气卸下心防。

　　11．选B　此处为敞开心扉的具体表现即对人热情、友好，这对大多数人来说是容易的。be friendly to是固定短语，表示“对……友好”，所以选择B。

　　12．选D　但是对于“我”来说，那是“我”不熟悉的事情。something“某事”，故选D。

　　13．选A　“我”开始意识到“我”需要积极地和其他人建立关系。need to do sth.，“需要做某事”，故选A。

　　14．选C　根据“even though”可知，尽管“我”对其他人敞开了心扉，但是对于如何做，“我”依旧谨慎。

　　15．选A　当“我”开始看到其他人多么容易地影响了“我”的时候，“我”的担心成为了现实。have an effect on是固定短语，表示“对……有影响”。

　　16．选D　此处表示许多“我”以前不赞同的观点开始影响“我”。agree with“赞同”，符合语境。

　　17．选B　尽管这些观点不是“我”自己的，但是它们依旧对“我”的信念产生了影响。belief“信念”，符合语境。

　　18．选C　根据上文可知，作者此时既太看重自己的个性又太在意和其他人之间培养良好的关系。value“重视，看重”，符合语境。

　　19．选B　此处表示作者太看重和其他人之间发展良好的关系。develop“发展，培养”，符合语境。

　　20．选D　根据上文作者遇到的两个方面的矛盾可知，此处表示作者不得不作出改变。change“改变”，符合语境。

　　Ⅱ.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了华盛顿的几个旅游观光点的历史、特点等细节，包括白宫、国会大厦、林肯故居以及国会图书馆。

　　1．选C　正误判断题。根据第一段的第三句可知，白宫参观者众多，所以需要提前预约。故C项正确。

　　2．选C　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知，即使你没有票，也可以参观国会大厦的游客中心。故C项正确。

　　3．选D　细节理解题。根据第四段的第一句可知，在林肯的故居，你可以了解林肯的废奴思想和美国内战。故D项正确。

　　4．选B　细节理解题。根据第五段第一句中的“The Library of Congress is housed in three buildings”可知，国会图书馆由三幢建筑构成。故B项正确。

　　5．选A　推理判断题。根据第五段的第二句可知，花一天时间看完国会图书馆是不可能的；由此可以推知，国会图书馆可参观的内容很多。故A项正确。
