(2024·江西卷)For those who make journeys across the world,the speed of travel today has turned the countries into a series of villages.Distances between them appear no greater to a modern traveler than those which once faced men as they walked from village to village.Jet planes fly people from one end of the earth to the other,allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago.
Yet some people wonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far.A price has been paid,they say,for the conquest (征服) of time and distance.Travel_is_something_to_be_enjoyed,not_endured(忍受).The boat offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the ever-changing sights and sounds of a journey.A journey by train also has a special charm about it.Lakes and forests and wild,open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing.On board a plane,however,there is just the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow windows of the airplane.The soft lighting,in-flight films and gentle music make up the only world you know,and the hours progress slowly.
Then there is the time spent being “processed” at a modern airport.People are conveyed like robots along walkways;baggage is weighed,tickets produced,examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to another waiting area.Journeys by rail and sea take longer,yes,but the hours devoted to being “processed” at departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent.No wonder,then,that the modern high-speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.
Man,however,is now a world traveler and cannot turn his back on the airplane.The working lives of too many people depend upon it;whole new industries have been built around its design and operation.The holiday-maker,too,with limited time to spend,patiently endures the busy airports and the limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days,relaxing in the sun.Speed controls people's lives;time saved,in work or play,is the important thing—or so we are told.Perhaps those first horsemen,riding free across the wild,open plains,were enjoying a better world than the one we know today.They could travel at will,and the clock was not their master.

【語(yǔ)篇解讀】 本文是記敘文。“我”在旅行途中看到一個(gè)人受傷,于是趕緊對(duì)他進(jìn)行救治,結(jié)果那個(gè)人看到“我”帶的藥品和錢,就起了歹意。那些在叢林中為“我”祈禱的人們被那個(gè)年輕人當(dāng)作守衛(wèi)“我”的人,最后“我”免遭禍災(zāi)。
1.A.persuaded
B.treated
C.thanked
D.punished
答案 B [聯(lián)系空后的“for his injuries”可知,在那個(gè)人受傷后“我”為他治傷。treat在這里的意思是“救治”。]
2.A.spent

C.traveled
D.drove
答案 C [聯(lián)系下文的“and arrived home without incident”可知,給他治傷后“我”旅行了兩天,然后回到家。]
3.A.began

答案 D [聯(lián)系下文的“Upon arriving in the city”可知,“我”從家中又回到了城里,因此是重復(fù)了這個(gè)旅行。]
4.A.caught
B.a(chǎn)pproached
C.hurt
D.welcomed
答案 B [“我”一到城里,那個(gè)年輕人就走到“我”這里來。approach sb的意思是“逼近某人;靠近某人”。D有一定的干擾性,聯(lián)系后文可知,他走過來只是告訴“我”一件事情,并不是歡迎“我”。]

答案 A [聯(lián)系空后的“by 26 armed guards”可推測(cè),他認(rèn)為“我”被26個(gè)持槍的衛(wèi)兵包圍著。seize指“抓住”;trap指“困住”;take指“占領(lǐng)”。]
9.A.afraid
B.tired
C.a(chǎn)lone
D.helpless

B.point
C.incident

Plan ahead to make your family trip run smoothly
Family vacations
are
cherished
memories.Keeping children entertained on the road or during a flight,however,can be challenging.The best way to cut down on anxiety?Plan ahead.
Avoid giving children snacks that contain sugar and caffeine. Sweet treats keep them happy and quiet for five minutes,as it fills them with unusable energy that will turn into crankiness (偏執(zhí)) when the sugar wears off.Bring fun,small snacks like flavored baked chips,apple sauce,raisins,and granola bars—and top it off with a little protein like cheese sticks to keep the blood sugar levels nice and steady.
Bring plenty of plastic or paper bags. This is the perfect time to put those spare bags around the house to use.Store them in your purse or pocket,as well as in the car.This is a quick solution for garbage,diaper wrapping or motion sickness.
Avoid extra costs on bulk items you will need during the trip. When flying,purchase bulk items like diapers,formula,and wipes at your destination.In the past,it was convenient and free to check these items.Now,each checked luggage item costs $25 or more on average.When driving,do the opposite; take your bulk items to avoid extra trips to the store when you arrive,which can help you avoid impulse travel purchases.
Bring a full change of clothing for each child. Keep these items within fairly easy reach.When a spill or mess happens,this will help parents avoid unexpected (and unbudgeted) clothing purchases.
Travel planning can help make family vacations what they are supposed to be: Fun! What are some of your favorite strategies for saving time and stress while traveling with children?
Notes:
diaper n.尿布 ②formula n.配方奶 ③wipe n.濕巾
長(zhǎng)短句分析:When driving,do the opposite; take your bulk items to avoid extra trips to the store when you arrive,which can help you avoid impulse travel purchases.
句法點(diǎn)睛:when driving在前半句作時(shí)間狀語(yǔ),when you arrive在后半句中作時(shí)間狀語(yǔ);which引導(dǎo)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句在從句中作主語(yǔ),指代前面的句子。
句意:開車旅行的時(shí)候,要做相反的事情——帶上你的東西,以免當(dāng)你到達(dá)目的地后還得去商店購(gòu)物,從而避免沖動(dòng)性購(gòu)物。
【語(yǔ)篇解讀】 本文是一篇說明文,主要介紹了如何才能有比較愉快的家庭旅行經(jīng)歷——提前計(jì)劃好一切。
1.Which of the following can keep the blood sugar levels nice and steady?
A.Coffee.
B.Apple pie with sugar in it.
C.Candies.
D.Cheese sticks.
答案 D [細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段最后一句“...and top it off with a little protein like cheese sticks to keep the blood sugar levels nice and steady.”可知,cheese sticks可以幫助降低血糖。前三項(xiàng)都是含有糖和咖啡因的食物,會(huì)使孩子情緒暴躁,不可選。]
