　　(2013·安康模拟)

　　It is not so long ago that the extended family lived under the same roof. Children grew up knowing their cousins, aunts and uncles, grandparents, and other relatives. These children felt connected.

　　In these not-too-long-ago times people were connected to their food. Most people grew their own vegetables and fruit. Many families had a house cow for milk, cheese, butter and cream. Most families also had meat animals. When visitors came unexpectedly, dad would be sent out back to kill the chook(鸡)for dinner. Everyone was involved in cooking and mealtimes were a social event. When the meal ended most of the family were involved in cleaning up and washing up. How different is the situation today?

　　The fast life is all around us—fast food, fast cars, fast conversations, fast families, fast holidays. Our fast paced life has weakened these connections. We have been fooled into thinking we need to, or even must, be fast and have what the“fast life”gives us. Stress is leading to many new health problems.

　　The solution is the Slow Movement. It aims to deal with the problem of“time poverty”through making connections. It supports a growing cultural shift towards slowing down. It has spread to more than sixty countries and become a worldwide movement.

　　The Slow Movement tells us that we need to slow down and connect with our life. We need connection to people—ourselves, our family, our community, our friends—to food, to places(where we live), and to life.

　　By being part of the Slow Movement, many people have known how they lost connection to most aspects of their life and to the natural world and rhythms(节奏)around them. And more importantly, they have reconnected—they have lived a new connected lifestyle. (301W)

　　1. If we are connected to our food, we　.

　　A. eat each meal slowly

　　B. buy our food by ourselves

　　C. prepare and cook our food by ourselves

　　D. enjoy our mealtimes with other family members

　　2. According to the text, which group of the following words can be used to describe today’s life?

　　A. Fast, busy, stressful.

　　B. Rich, disconnected, comfortable.

　　C. Healthy, busy, disconnected.

　　D. Convenient, relaxing, fast.

　　3. According to the author, many people have　.

　　A. got used to fast life

　　B. benefited from fast life

　　C. had diseases caused by fast food

　　D. had unwise opinions about fast life

　　4. What’s the purpose of the text?

　　A. To compare modern life with traditional life.

　　B. To support a world-wide movement.

　　C. To explain the disadvantages of disconnected life.

　　D. To explain the meaning of making a connection.

　　【变式备选】

　　She has been　over his strange letter for several weeks, but she still figures out nothing about it.

　　A. puzzling B. worried

　　C. troubled

　　D. anxious

　　【解析】选A。句意: 她对他那封奇怪的信苦苦思索了好几周, 可还是没弄明白。puzzle over. . . 意为“对……苦苦思索”。

　　2.【解析】选B。考查短语辨析。句意: 在我有大麻烦的时候, 你怎么可以袖手旁观, 什么都不做呢?stand for代表, 主张; stand by坚持某种说法, 袖手旁观, 支持; stand out突出, 显眼, 杰出; stand up站立, 起立。故选B。

　　3.【解析】选B。考查动词辨析。句意: 尽管Mr. Want在澳大利亚生活了6年, 但是他依然遵循着传统的风俗习惯。observe遵守, 遵循; perform执行, 表现; possess拥有; support支持。

　　4.【解析】选C。考查非谓语动词作定语。句意: 我们希望正在进行的建筑项目尽快完成, 因为很多市民在抱怨噪音。根据句意和句子结构可知此处being carried out作定语修饰the building project。因为carry out(执行)和被修饰词之间是被动关系, 且强调动作正在进行, 所以用动词-ing形式的被动式。

　　5.【解析】选C。考查固定搭配。句意: 在很多方面, 世界上的东西都有着差异。differ from为固定搭配, 意思是“与……不同”。

　　6.【解析】选B。句意: 与初来乍到者不同, 对那些在这儿工作多年的员工将予以优待。preference偏爱。respect尊重; consideration考虑; advantage优势。

　　7.【解析】选D。句意: ——我肯定安德鲁会在体操比赛中获得冠军。——我也这样认为。他已经准备了几个月了。prepare的动作从过去某一时间开始一直持续到现在, 故用现在完成进行时, 选D项。

　　10.【解析】选A。考查引导定语从句的关系代词。句意: 我们期待了多年的那个精彩的时刻终于到来了。代替指时间的先行词moment, 且在从句中作动词expect的宾语, 引导一个非限制性定语从句, 所以用which。

　　11.【解析】选D。考查动词辨析。句意: 一个给毕业生的有价值的建议就是在面试中第一印象相当重要。count有价值; apply申请, 应用; function发挥作用; award授予。

　　12.【解析】选D。考查关系词的选择。句意: 直到妈妈答应带她去她最喜欢的肯德基, 那个被宠坏的女孩才停止哭泣。根据句子结构可知, 第一空为非限制性定语从句, 先行词为KFC, 故排除A、C。第二空为强调句, it was. . . that. . . 。

　　13.【解析】选C。考查动词短语辨析。句意: 自从第一张唱片发布以后, 他的歌唱事业开始腾飞了。take off(事业的)腾飞。take up开始从事; take away带走, 拿走; take on呈现。

　　3.【解析】选B。考查语境化选词。顾客抱怨他们就座的位置。seat是使役动词, 表示“使坐下”, be seated意为“坐下, 就座”; sit是不及物动词, 应为where they sit。

　　4.【解析】选D。考查动词。诸如此类的小事容易造成我们雇员的烦恼。annoy表示“使生气”。因为作者前面提到了顾客的种种抱怨, 因此只能导致雇员的烦恼、生气。attract吸引; avoid避免; adjust调整。

　　5.【解析】选A。考查名词。句中的us和下文的we给了提示。employees表示“受雇者, 雇工”。

　　7.【解析】选A。考查名词。the dirty dishes指客人用过的盘子。因为作者是在餐厅打工的学生, 所以“端盘子”才能与文章主题相符。

　　8.【解析】选C。考查名词。顾客们的进进出出、服务人员的穿梭走动。该空指服务人员在餐馆的来回走动, 穿梭服务。顾客们是来这里就餐的, 不怎么来回走, 故排除D, A、B两项太片面。

　　9.【解析】选C。考查连词。虽然餐馆处于一片忙乱的状态, 但是这三位妇女在专心地看着我。该空前的crazy给该空提出了暗示。

　　12.【解析】选B。考查名词。grade表示“年级”。她们询问我上哪个年级。通过上下文, 可知作者是个打工的学生, 故B项符合文意。place地方; mark分数; position位置。

　　13.【解析】选C。考查连词。当她们离开的时候, 她们走过我身边。as引导时间状语从句时, 表示主从句的动作同时发生。由句意排除A、D选项; while引导时间状语从句时, 从句中的谓语动词是延续性动词。

　　14.【解析】选A。考查形容词。她们从我身边走过时, 其中的一位用肯定、温和的语调说。由下文的You are going places. (你前途无量)推测说话者的语气。因为说话人在鼓励作者, 所以只有A项符合语境。

　　15.【解析】选C。考查名词。客人说完后就离开了餐馆。由下文知道, they指three elderly ladies, 她们来餐馆用餐。

　　16.【解析】选B。考查名词。根据文意可知, 别人给予了作者自信的“勇气”, 作者才得以重新振作起来。
