答案與分層梯度式解析高考練Ⅰ.◎語篇解讀本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了作者作為一名風(fēng)景攝影愛好者,克服困難拍出高質(zhì)量風(fēng)景照的經(jīng)過。1.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。本題問的是作者作為一名中西部地區(qū)的風(fēng)景攝影師是如何應(yīng)對挑戰(zhàn)的。thechallenge指的是第一段中的“thecornstatelacksgeographicalvariation(這個(gè)玉米生產(chǎn)州缺少地理差異)”。再結(jié)合題干關(guān)鍵詞intheMidwest可定位到第二段。根據(jù)“Itendtotravelwithafewofmyfriendstostateparksortothecountrysidetogoonadventuresandtakephotosalongtheway.”可知,作者通過去州立公園或鄉(xiāng)村拍攝照片來應(yīng)對這一挑戰(zhàn)。故選B。2.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。題干中的thekey與第三段第一句中的decisive同義。根據(jù)“Beingattherightplaceattherighttimeisdecisiveinanystyleofphotography.”可知,在合適的時(shí)間到達(dá)合適的地點(diǎn)是至關(guān)重要的。再結(jié)合最后一段作者去魔鬼湖(DevilsLake)拍攝照片留下遺憾的經(jīng)歷可知,風(fēng)景攝影成功的關(guān)鍵是恰當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)間管理。故選A。3.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞theauthorstripwithfriendstoDevilsLake可定位到最后一段。根據(jù)“Wemanagedtoleavethisspottoclimbhigherbecauseofthesparetimeuntilsunset.However,wedidnotmarktheroutesoweendedupalmostmissingthesunsetentirely.Oncewefoundtheplace,itwasstressfulgettinglightsandcamerassetupinthelimitedtime.”可知,作者認(rèn)為時(shí)間寬裕,就離開既定的拍攝地點(diǎn)往更高的地方爬了,結(jié)果忘記了返回的正確路線,差點(diǎn)錯(cuò)過要拍攝的落日。由此可推知,他們到達(dá)拍攝地點(diǎn)的時(shí)間要比預(yù)計(jì)的晚。故選C。4.B推理判斷題,考查作者的觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句“Still,lookingbackonthephotos,theyaresomeofmybestshotsthoughtheycouldhavebeensomuchbetterifIwouldhavebeenpreparedandmanagedmytimewisely.”可知,作者認(rèn)為,盡管他可以把照片拍得更好,但現(xiàn)在這些照片仍然是自己拍得最好的。由此可推知,這些照片是令作者滿意的(Satisfying)。故選B?！靖呖荚~匯站】1.地理(學(xué))的2.決定性的;關(guān)鍵的3.日落4.日出5.背景長難句原句Still,lookingbackonthephotos,theyaresomeofmybestshotsthoughtheycouldhavebeensomuchbetterifIwouldhavebeenpreparedandmanagedmytimewisely.分析本句為主從復(fù)合句。現(xiàn)在分詞短語“l(fā)ookingbackonthephotos”作狀語;though引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句,從句中包含一個(gè)虛擬條件句。譯文回顧這些照片,它們?nèi)匀皇俏遗牡米詈玫囊恍┱掌?盡管如果我原本可以做好準(zhǔn)備并合理管理我的時(shí)間的話,它們本可以拍得更好。Ⅱ.◎語篇解讀本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了成為一個(gè)更加有耐心的人的技巧。1.G過渡句。前一句引用了一個(gè)謎語,該謎語的意思是“交通擁堵、排長隊(duì)和等待假期開始這些情況有什么共同點(diǎn)?”,設(shè)空處內(nèi)容是該謎語的謎底,并且該空位于第一段,應(yīng)起到引出主題、總領(lǐng)全文的作用。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知,G選項(xiàng)(這些都是我們需要多用點(diǎn)耐心的情況)既能概括謎語中提到的三種情況,又能起到引出主題的作用。故選G。2.E細(xì)節(jié)句。該空位于小標(biāo)題“Practicegratitude”下面。前一句說明了感激的好處,但并沒有將感激與耐心相結(jié)合。后一句說明了表達(dá)感激可以培養(yǎng)自制力。由此可以推斷,設(shè)空處應(yīng)該說明感激與耐心的關(guān)系。分析選項(xiàng)可知,只有E選項(xiàng)闡述了感激與耐心的關(guān)系,其中的It指Thankfulness,并且also起到承接上文的作用。故選E。3.B過渡句。前一句指出養(yǎng)成等待這一習(xí)慣的唯一方法就是去訓(xùn)練,后一句用具體的例子(推遲看最喜歡的節(jié)目,吃蛋糕前多等十分鐘)說明應(yīng)如何訓(xùn)練。由此可知,設(shè)空處應(yīng)該闡述如何訓(xùn)練,并與下文所舉的例子相呼應(yīng)。B選項(xiàng)就是訓(xùn)練指導(dǎo),且smalltasks與后文舉的例子相呼應(yīng)。故選B。4.C主旨句。設(shè)空處是本段小標(biāo)題。根據(jù)前面兩個(gè)小標(biāo)題的特點(diǎn)可知,設(shè)空處應(yīng)該用祈使句,符合其特點(diǎn)的是A、B、C三個(gè)選項(xiàng),B選項(xiàng)已排除;結(jié)合本段中的“beingcomfortab
