Europe is home to a variety of cultural treasures.Lonely Planet，the world's largest travel guide publisher，has offered pairs of cities for culture­hungry but time­poor travelers.
London and Paris
It takes you about two hours to travel from London to Paris by Eurostar，a high­speed railway service.The two capital cities have been competing in fashion，art and nightlife for decades—but each secretly looks up to the other.
No one can doubt the grand and impressive beauty of Paris' Louvre Museum，but if you want to save money，you cannot skip the British Museum free to visit.Compared with London，Paris has more outdoor attractions such as the beautiful green walkway La Promenade Plantée.
In Paris，you'll see diners linger over red wine.While in London，you can try some afternoon tea，eat fish and chips or salted cake.
Vienna and Bratislava
Austrian capital Vienna and Slovakian city Bratislava are an hour apart by train.But since they are linked by the Danube River，the best way to travel is by ship.A tour of the two cities is the perfect way to experience everything from 17th century's Habsburg Dynasty splendor to sci­fi restaurants.
Vienna is famous for Mozart and imperial palaces.You can appreciate the perfect blending of architecture and nature in the grand Schonbrunn Palace，and reward yourself with a cup of Vienna coffee，which has made its way to the world's cultural heritage list.
Bratislava is best known for its fine dining—the remarkable UFO restaurant.You can enjoy a meat­laden dinner here in an amazing setting.

【广东省2022届高三考前冲刺卷(五)】 C
Many years ago，when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver，I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas.I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City，where I was planning to stop and visit a friend.While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台)，I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took_off，but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car.I stopped and wondered what I should do.A car pulled up behind me.It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station.They said they would take me to my friend’s.We chatted on the way into the city，and when I got out of the car，the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank­you note for helping me.Soon afterward，I received a Christmas present from them.Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later，I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning.In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day，and the battery was dead.Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford Dealership—a shop selling cars—was right next door.I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford？”I asked and explained my trouble.They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it.They would accept no payment；so when I got home，I wrote them a note to say thanks.I received a letter back from one of the salesmen.No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you，and it meant a lot，he said.
“Thank you”—two powerful words.They’re easy to say and mean so much.
36．The author planned to stop at Oklahoma City ______.
A．to visit a friend
B．to see his parents
C．to pay at the cash register
D．to have more gas for his car
37．The underlined words “took off” in Paragraph 2 mean “______”．

40．By telling his own experiences，the author tries to show ______.
A．how to write a thank­you letter

36．A　[细节推断题。依据第一段其次句“... at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City，where I was planning to stop and visit a friend.”where引导的定语从句是修饰Oklahoma City，去Oklahoma City是为了访问一个伴侣。]
37．B　[词义猜想题。依据上一句“... paying for gas”和后面的“... gone only a few miles”可知took off是“离开”的意思，选项B中的move off也是“离开”的意思。turn off关掉；put up拿起；set up设立。]
38．C　[细节推断题。从其次段最终两句“They said they would take me to my friend’s.”和“... when I got out of the car”可知老夫妇把作者送到了伴侣家。]
39．C　[细节推断题。从第四段其次句中的“I’d left the lights on all day.”可知作者遗忘关掉车灯，灯亮了一天，所以电池没电了。]
40．D　[主旨大意题。作者讲了两个接受了他人的挂念并向挂念自己的人表示感谢的故事，接受别人的挂念后写信表示感谢对挂念自己的人是一种回馈，会使别人感到挂念别人是有意义的。特殊是最终一句“They are easy to say and mean so much.”点出了主旨。]

【广东省2022届高三考前冲刺卷(五)】 D
Whatever one believes about global warming，there is no doubt that the earth’s polar regions are undergoing dramatic change as a result of climate change.
Now，a breathtaking new exhibit at the Asia Society in New York suggests that the earth’s Third Pole is sounding a similar alarm.David Breashears，a mountaineer and cinematographer，and his team have travelled the high Himalayas on a special search in the past few years.Armed with old photographs of the world’s highest peaks，he has tried to duplicate those shots exactly.
The result is both breathtaking and deeply frustrating.That is because his photos show a dramatic decline in glacial ice.Whether it is the forward edge，the vertical height or the mass balance of these rivers of ice，the pictures make it clear that something strange is happening.
After some discussions about the likely causes of the glacier decline—the experts agreed it was linked to climate change，aggravated(恶化) by mankind’s use of fossil fuels—the talk turned to the heart of the matter：likely impacts.The biggest one concerns water.Many glaciers，ranging from the Andes to the Alps，are in recession(衰退)，but the impacts of the Himalayan glaciers’ recession could be much more disastrous.
What to do？Answers can be found in both supply and demand，suggested the experts.On the supply side，governments of the region—always suspicious of each other，and at times hostile—must work together much more closely in measurement and data check.Advances in satellite technology can help on this front.A good model for co­operation is the Arctic Council，which brings together the many countries touching on the northern polar region.
41．There is no doubt that ______.
A．the earth’s polar regions are undergoing dramatic change
B．the Asia Society in New York is a good model for co­operation
C．the earth’s Third Pole is the world’s third highest peaks
D．the Himalayan glaciers’ recession must be much more disastrous
42．The earth’s Third Pole refers to ______.
A．the North Polar B．the South Polar
C．the Asia Society D．the Himalayas
43．Through investigating and discussion，the Asia Society found that the likely causes of the glaciers receding was ______.
A．warm weather and much pollution
B．much pollution and greenhouse effect
C．many travelers and much pollution
D．climate change and mankind’s use of fossil fuels
44．It can be inferred that the governments of the region will ______.
A．unite as one to use more water
B．fight against each other for getting more water
C．co­operate more closely in measurement and data check
D．bring together touching on the northern polar region
45．The text is mainly about ______.
A．global warming
B．the Himalayan glaciers’ recession
C．a breathtaking in New York
D．the Arctic Council
41．A　[细节推断题。从第一段第一句话里可以得出答案。]
42．D　[推理推断题。从其次段中可以推断出答案。]
43．D　[细节推断题。从第四段可知，冰川消融的缘由可能是气候变化和人类利用石化燃料所致。]
44．C　[推理推断题。从最终一段专家的建议可以推断出答案。]
45．B　[主旨大意题。通读全文可知本文主要介绍了喜马拉雅山脉地区冰川消融的状况。]

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将 该项涂黑。
Abraham Lincoln was born into poverty 200 years ago. At any other time and place, this lowly origin would have dictated his future, but in Lincoln’s case, his self-determination and force of will made it possible for him to secure his seat in his country's history. He has become a role model in the self-made America.
If you want to learn about somebody who didn’t quit, look no further. Abraham Lincoln had two business ventures failed, and the second one made him bankrupt, so he had to spend the next 17 years of his life paying for the debt. He also lost 8 different elections. It seemed that he had never done things right at the first time: the first time he ran for state legislature for Congress, for land officer, for Senate, all of these failed, and the first time he sought the vice-presidential nomination, he got less than 100 votes nationally. But he never found it too shameful to carry on his mission. Then later in 1860, on such a rough road, he made it to the White House. He lived up to his famous saying, “Always bear in mind that your own determination to success is more important than any other.”
He could have quit many times-—-but he didn’t and because he didn’t quit ，he became one of the greatest presidents in the history of America. One important way Lincoln influences present society is that we look back on his life as a role model for future generations. Lincoln’s high character influences us because we compare present-day politicians to the example Lincoln set. A major influence Lincoln has on the united States today is simply through the good example he set when it came to honesty, persistence and leadership.
