Not many tourists find this place，and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their purpose all along.Theres an apparent laziness that surrounds you here.Its what this place offers，and its free of charge.The small waves that tap the shoreline seem to slow everything down.You settle into your beach chair in preparation for a long rest.You sit there and watch the sea.Its early afternoon，so the cook comes out and asks what youd like to eat this evening.Before long hes rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you orderedevery meal fresh and to order.No menu here.There is no poolside noise here but just that wonderfully warm，clear blue sea.Theres no street noise.The only sounds are the murmurs of nature.For now you just count your blessings (福祉)，listing them in the sand with your toe (脚趾)You dont have to worry about being late for work. You dont have to do anything.The beach to your right stretches off to the horizon (地平线)，slowly narrowing to nothingness only to reemerge again on your left，now steadily widening until it covers the chair beneath you.Sand to your left and sand to your right; its unbroken，endless.No start，no end，just sand，sun，and peace.Step off it，and you reenter the world of traffic，stress，work，and hurry.Normally youre the type who cant sit still for more than ten minutes，but youre on Huaplee Lazy Beach now and，in the right frame of mind，it stretches all the way around the world.“How could it take me so long to find it？” you wonder.1When the author first went to Huaplee Beach，_.Ahe found it unworthwhileBhe failed to sort himself outChe became sensitive to smellDhe had difficulty in finding it2What is special about the food service at Huaplee Beach?ANo menu. BFree food.CSelf service. DQuick delivery.3In the authors opinion，a tourist can enjoy Huaplee Beach most when he _.Asits in a beach chair Bforgets his daily routineCplans a detailed schedule Ddraws pictures in the sand4What does the author imply by his question at the end of the passage?AHe shouldnt have counted his blessings.BHe should have understood the wonder of nature.CHe shouldnt have spent so much time on the trip.DHe should have come to the place earlier.答案：【语篇解读】本文是一篇旅游杂记，介绍了泰国一个静谧的海滩，描述了这里的环境给人的慵懒的感觉。在这里，你可以忘掉职场上的疲惫和匆忙，也可以真正地无所事事。宁静的气息让你不禁感叹应该早点儿来这个地方。1D解析：推理判断题。作者没有直接说自己第一次来这里的情况或感受，但他提到了找到这个地方是多么不容易：have flown halfway around the world；a long journey from Bangkok to Huaplee；it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland，因此选D。2A解析：细节理解题。第五段中的Before long hes rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you orderedevery meal fresh and to order.No menu here.意为“不管你点什么菜，不久他就会急忙去市场买原料每餐都是新鲜的、定做的。没有菜单”。由此可知A项“没有菜单”正确，而非“饭菜免费”“自助”或“送餐快速”。3B解析：推理判断题。第七段说，现在你只需想想你有多幸福，用你的脚趾在沙滩上把你的幸福列出来；不用担心上班迟到，什么都不用干。这与B项的描述是一致的：忘掉他的日常安排。4D解析：推理判断题。“我怎么花了这么长时间才找到它呢？”是文章结尾的问题。显然，作者暗示的不是“本不应该想着自己的幸福”“本该了解大自然的神奇”或者“本不该在途中花这么多的时间”，而是D项“本该早点儿来这个地方”。【2014高考英语广东省中山市华侨中学二模试题】BIn my living room, there is a plaque (匾) that advises me to “Bloom (开花) where you are planted.” It reminds me of Dorothy. I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s, when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky. The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program. Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who “bloomed” in her remote area.Dorothy taught in a school in Harlan County, Kentucky, Appalachian Mountain area. To get to her school from the town of Harlan, I followed a road winding around the mountain. In the eight-mile journey, I crossed the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times. Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains, I found it depressing. The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.From the moment of my arrival at the little school, all gloom (忧郁) disappeared. Upon arriving at Dorothys classroom, I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen. The children had been prepared to show me their latest projects. Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner” (lunch). In case you dont know, poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild, especially on poor ground.Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students. Her enthusiasm never cooled down. When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification, Dorothy was ready. She came to the assessment and passed in all areas. Afterward, she invited me to the one-and-only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory, as if she had received her Ph. D. degree. After the meal, she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand. She said it was a family heirloom (传家宝), but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things. 31. “Early Childhood Development” in Paragraph 1 refers to _. A. a program directed by DorothyB. a course given by the author C. an activity held by the studentsD. an organization sponsored by Union college32.

What can we know about Dorothy from the last paragraph? A. She was invited to a celebration at a restaurant. B. She got a pen as a gift from the author. C. She passed the required assessment. D.

BCACD 【2014高考英语广东省中山市华侨中学二模试题】CDoes Fame Drive You Crazy?Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, todays stars, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the worlds attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities - famous people - worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.”The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain (抱怨) about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.If fame is so troublesome, why arent all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.36. It can be learned from the passage that stars today_.A. can no longer have their privacy protected B. are often misunderstood by the publicC. spend too much on their public appearanceD. care little about how they have come into fame37. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.B. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history. C. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.38. What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?A. Availability of modern media. B. Inadequate social recognition. C. Lack of favorable chances.D. Huge population of fans.39. The reasons why there are still so many celebrities might not be _. A. that a few stars stay calm with their family B. that some stars just avoid public appearance C. that everyone in society runs after fame D. that they fix their attention on what they do40. What is the authors attitude toward modern celebrity?A. Sincere.B. Sceptical.C. Disapproving.D. Sympathetic.【参考答案】36-40. ABACD
