Test 26
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
As a boy growing up in India,I had longed to travel abroad.I used to listen to the stories my father would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s’ with great interest.
My big moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when I was able to accompany my parents to Europe,where my father was to attend a meeting.We planned to travel to Belgium,Netherlands and West Germany.
I have vivid memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroad.I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them first hand during the flight to Frankfurt.We flew business class and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew.The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable,even for someone like me,who is otherwise scared of flying.
After spending almost two weeks in Europe,we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport for our return flight.What a journey that was! All along the Rhine(莱茵河),it was simply an unforgettable experience.I was in a sombre mood on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation,but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again,with the quality of their service.
Being the first airline to take me overseas,Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart.Even today,I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline.Flying,in general,for me,has always been an ordeal (terrible and painful experience).Flying on Lufthansa,however,is something I always have and always will look forward to.

If you have ever been rock climbing,you will know that it is not a very easy sport.In fact,you probably felt quite defeated when you first tried to do any serious climbing.Indoor and outdoor rock climbing are both extremely demanding and require practice to get good at.It is one of the most physically and mentally demanding sports.
There are three basic types of rock climbing.Top roping is the most common type and the climber need to climb with a partner.The second type,which is very similar to top roping,is called lead climbing.In both of the types,the climber can sit off the wall and rest on the rope.The third type is called bouldering.Bouldering is a type of free climbing without any ropes.This is the most demanding of all climbing types.The climber must be able to complete the climbing without taking a rest on the rope.
Believe it or not,climbing is said to be about 75% legs and only 25% arms.To climb efficiently and successfully,a person needs to have a wonderful technique.One of the major rules of rock climbing is to always have three points touching the wall,whether it is both feet and one hand,or one foot and both hands,as it is much easier to have your weight rest on three points than on two.Another important idea to grasp is that your arms in most cases will not do the climbing; they only hold you into the wall so that your legs are actually pushing you upward.Also,the closer you are to the wall,the easier it is to climb.
Rock climbing may sound a bit too extreme for the everyday person,but it is really an amazing workout.Once you get into the sport,and learn how to position your body and rest your weight,then you can begin to deal with some difficult problems.The great thing about rock climbing is that it is mentally challenging as well.You are constantly analyzing the way your body moves and how to do certain moves on the wall.For anyone who wants to get into shape,rock climbing is a fun and effective way to exercise muscles.

如何做社会文化类的阅读理解题
社会文化包括经济、政治、文化、科学等各种题材,是高考英语阅读理解的热点题材。
它以中西文化差异作为选材的重点,比如礼仪、语言、价值观、生活习惯等为主题。题材涉及社会、文化、教育、体育等方面的内容。一般一篇文章一个主题,以议论文和记叙文为主。命题方面,既重主旨把握,又重
特定细节、推理判断,如A篇第4题就属于推理判断题,从第三段中的today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew和第四段中的but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again就可确定正确答案。从近年的高考题看,阅读内容的社会实用性越来越强,更重视语言和文化的关系,阅读材料会更多地涉及社会化背景知识。因此,要通过阅读更多地涉及社会文化背景知识,更多地了解并丰富自己的知识。
对英语语言、社会、文化的了解是一个长期的过程,在复习时要注意:
1.重视英语词汇、语法和习惯用法的掌握。
在复习过程加强对语言基础知识的掌握。对于普通中学毕业生来说,应具备2000-3500的词汇量,并掌握其词类、意思和基本用法。掌握句子结构和句子成分之间的关系。熟悉固定词组、固定搭配等约定俗成的语法项目。
2.扩展文化背景知识,认真研读历年高考题。从2011高考题看,阅读内容的社会实用性越来越强,更重视语言和文化的关系,阅读材料会更多地涉及社会化背景知识。因此,要通过阅读更多地涉及社会文化背景知识,要通过阅读更多地了解并丰富自己的知识。同时,要认真研读近五年的高考题目,增加语言经验,适应选材特点,熟悉题材和体裁,了解设问形式,感悟设问特点。
3.广泛涉猎,丰富消遣阅读。
