考点规范练18(Module 6).阅读理解AMachu Picchu is so well-known and so certain to fill travelers with high expectation.No other South American place of interest comes close when it comes to the visitor number and broad attraction.Only Sacsayhuamon in Cuzco,which is usually part of a Machu Picchu tour route,is comparable for size and the architectural style.Just with a bit of careful planning and the right approach,you will find the site as attractive as any on the planet.The charm of Machu Picchu,which means the “old mountain”in the local language,is obvious.It is a 550-year-old castle.It is high:7,973 feet above the sea level.It is large:the ruins are the size of a village,and combined with nearby forests and wild parks,the “historical santuary”,as UNESCO describes it,covers more than 116 square miles.It is also mysterious:we know it is partly used for people to live in and partly used for religious activities,but we are still guessing about its academic importance to the ancient people.Machu Picchu is set in subtropical forests,providing a protected habitat for several endangered species,such as spectacled bears(眼镜熊) and cat-like pumas(美洲狮).If lucky,you will enjoy American camels wandering in the mountain and you have a memorable trip that can last 14 days.You just have to work out how to catch that quiet moment and find the right time for a tourist-free photograph.Machu Picchu is busiest in July and August,the peak tourist season and also the not-quite-so-wet season.It is never totally dry in the Andean foothills and youll probably get showers and thin fog surrounding the peaks at some stage of your visit during this period.November to April is the rainy season,with January and February the wettest months,so the actual months of November and April are ideal if you want to avoid the heaviest crowds and heaviest rains.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一个叫Machu Picchu 的南美古代建筑遗迹,该地除了人文景观丰富之外,自然景观也是可圈可点,文中还介绍了去该地旅游的最佳时间。1.What can we learn from the first

headquarters in the area called Silicon Valley.But the area has not always been associated with charity(慈善).Now,a new generation of entrepreneurs(企业家) appears to be changing Silicon Valley.One example is Marc Benioff,a donor(捐赠者),who has called on wealthy donors to give more to their communities.He also is the founder of S,a computer service company in San Francisco which has helped build a childrens hospital and given millions of dollars to non-profit organizations in the city.Money from the technology industry has also started to change the face of charity.Benjamin Soskis writes about the history and ideas behind charity in America.His articles have appeared in The Atlantic magazine and a number of major publications.He says,traditionally,donors gave after they spent much of their lives building up wealth.Usually donors are in their 70s.But an increasing number of people appearing on the list of top donors are younger than 40 years of age.Benjamin Soskis says that is something new.“Theres a whole new model thats appearing in which people give and accumulate at the same time.” Some of the young donors on this years top 50 list have started to change in the way people see charity.That is especially the case in the San Francisco area,where giving money and making money appear to be coming together.“I think its fair to say that charity is now a part of the Silicon Valley identity.”【语篇导读】本文主要介绍了美国硅谷的慈善新形象。5.What is true of Marc Benioff?A.He joined a non-profit organization.B.He advised donors to build hospitals.C.He made San Francisco a city of charity.D.He set up the

Do you prefer gray and blue?Then you are probably quiet,shy,and you would rather follow than lead.You tend to be a pessimist.At least,this is what psychologists tell us,and they should know,because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference,as well as the effect that colors have on human beings.2. If you happen to love brown,you did so,as soon as you opened your eyes,or at least as soon as you could see clearly.3. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one;and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.4. A black bridge over the Thames River,near London,used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀)than any other bridge in the areauntil it was repainted green.The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply.Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.5. It is an established fact that factory workers work better,harder,and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.A.On the other hand,black is depressing.B.They tell us,among other facts,that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow upwe are born with our preference.C.The rooms are painted in different colors as you like.D.If you do,you must be an optimist,a leader,an active person who enjoys life,people and excitement.E.Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.F.Life is like a picture or a poem,full of different colors.G.Colors do influence our moodsthere is no doubt about it.答案与解析:【语篇导读】本文讲述了颜色与人们的性格和情绪的关系,很多不同的颜色都是对应着不同的性格和情绪。1.D解析:考查对上下文的理解和推理判断。根据下一句“Do you prefer gray and blue?Then you are probably quiet,shy,and you would rather follow than lead.You tend to be a pessimist.”说明喜欢灰色系的人是悲观主义者;那么喜欢这些亮颜色的人很可能是乐观主义者。故D项符合上下文。2.B解析:考查对上下文的理解和推理判断。根据下文内容说明人们对颜色的偏爱是天生的,是生来就有的,后天无法培养出来。故B项解释符合上下文。3.G解析:考查对上下文的理解和推理判断。根据下文黄色能让人感觉更兴奋更放松,说明颜色可以影响我们的情绪。故G项符合上下文。4.A解析:考查对上下文的理解和推理判断。根据下文的例子泰晤士河上的黑颜色的桥过去常常是人们自杀的地方。说明黑色代表着压抑。故A项正确。5.E解析:考查对上下文的理解和推理判断。根据下面的例子机器被粉刷成橙色而不是黑色或者灰色,说明淡的颜色会让人感觉更开心更积极。.语篇填空Years ago,when I was a poor artist trying to sell my paintings in local galleries,I 1.(live) in the heart of a city.The rent for my apartment was really cheap 2. it was in the middle of one of the busiest neighborhoods in town.People who visited me used to ask me 3.
