Firstly, we are likely to be so busy taking pictures that we forget to look at the world whose beauty and interest encourage us to take a photograph in the first place. And secondly, because we feel the pictures are safely stored on our phones, we never get around to looking at them, so sure are we that well get around to them one day.The first person to notice the problems was the English art critic(评论家), John Ruskin. He was a keen traveler who realized that most tourists make a poor job of noticing or remembering the beautiful things they see. He argued that humans have a natural tendency to respond to beauty and desire to have it, but there are better and worse expressions of this desire. At worst, we get into buying souvenirs or taking photographs. But, in Ruskins eyes, theres just one thing we should doattempting to draw the interesting things we see, regardless of whether we happen to have any talent for doing so.Ruskin said, “Drawing can teach us to see: to notice properly rather than gaze absentmindedly.In the process of recreating with our own hands what lies before our eyes, we naturally move from a position of observing beauty in a loose way to one where we acquire a deep understanding of its parts.”Ruskin deplored the blindness and hurry of modern tourists, especially those who prided themselves on traveling around the whole Europe in a week by train, “No changing of places at a hundred miles an hour will make us stronger, happier, or wiser. There was always more in the world than men could see, if they ever walked slowly. The really precious things are thoughts and sights, not pace.”【解题导语】本文主要讨论了旅游中如何享受美景以及游客普遍存在的问题。1According to Paragraph 2, when taking pictures, people tend to Aforget to appreciate something attractive on the spotBfind it hard to learn skills of taking good picturesCfind a good way to keep things in their mindsDhave a chance to meet the challenge of new technologyA解析:细节理解题。根据文章第二段的第二句可知,人们忙着拍照而忘了欣赏风景。2According to Ruskin, what should travelers do to best express their appreciation of and desire for something beautiful?ATo speak it out openly.BTo photograph it instantly.CTo purchase it immediately.DTo paint it directly.D解析:细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句可知,Ruskin认为,旅游者把自己看到的美景直接画下来就是对美景欣赏的最好表达。3From the fourth paragraph, we can infer that Ruskin encourages us to be Aconsiderate and determinedBactive and adventurousCcreative and thoughtfulDsensitive and ambitiousC解析:推理判断题。根据第四段的“In the process of recreating with our own hands . we acquire a deep understanding of its parts.”可推知,Ruskin鼓励我们要有创造性,对景观要有深刻的理解。4The underlined word “deplored” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “ ”Aappreciated BcriticizedCfavored DignoredB解析:词义猜测题。根据最后一段的“the blindness and hurry of modern tourists”并结合Ruskin的主张可推知,deplore意为“批判,不赞成”,故选B。三、七选五By 2025,water shortage will be a big problem for about 1.8 billion people.In a world where water resource is increasingly short,nations cannot afford to waste it._1_After we use water in our homes and businesses,it is washed away,and takes many valuable resources with it.Waste water is rich in carbon and nutrients._2_ A number of nations and major cities have already built waste water treatment plants.They can effectively recover nutrients and bioenergy,and produce “new water” that can be reused.But more than 80% of all waste water still currently flows into natural ecosystems,polluting the environment and taking valuable nutrients and other recoverable materials with it._3_ This is still better than the situation in smaller cities.In Latin American countries,those living in small and mediumsized cities at most treat it in the form of septic tanks (化粪池)that lack regular and proper maintenance.Imagine that outside one of these small cities lies a lovely piece of land:on the surface it is pleasingly built and provides habitats for local wildlife.Beneath the surface is a wetland that treats waste water and produces energy.The energy produced saves families from having to use firewood collected in the wild.This is not a dream project._4_ A team of scientists have been looking into the potential of constructed wetland environments.Having analyzed 800 examples of biomass in more than 20 countries,they found that,depending on climate and the type of plant used in the construction of this type of wetland,up to 45 hectares of land could be irrigated with waste water._5_ABut that is exactly what we do.BThis can provide easy access to clean water.CThere is no longer any good reason to waste any type of water.DA constructed wetland environment is already in practice on a small scale.EThis would reduce the need for fresh water for irrigation and energy for pumping.FIf collected and treated properly,it could provide “new water”,fertilizer,and energy.GAlthough waste water systems in large cities are effective,the whole procedure usually costs much.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了当前世界水资源的现状以及有效利用水资源的方法。1A上文说在水资源短缺的大环境下,很多国家不能承担浪费(的后果),下文说我们用完水后,就直接把水冲走。根据上下文可知,A项“但是那正是我们所做的”与此处匹配,起承上启下作用,故选A。2F上文说废水富含碳元素和养分,而F项说如果收集和处理得当,它就能提供“新的水”、肥料和能量,前后形成语义上的衔接,故选F。3G下文讲述的是拉丁美洲的中小城市的废水处理系统缺乏常规和合适的维护,而G项提到大城市的废水处理系统有效但成本高,与本段内容吻合,故选G。4D上文提到在这些小城市建造湿地环境的设想,下文提到已经有科学家在研究建造的湿地环境的潜力了,由此可知,D项“建造的湿地环境已经在小范围的实践中了”符合语境。5E上文讲述的是这种解决方案的另一种好处是人们可以用废水灌溉农田,而E说这可以减少用淡水灌溉的需求及抽水所需的能量,前后语义衔接,故选E。
