主题语境:北极光　语篇类型:记叙文　词数:371

难度:★★★☆

Since I was born and brought up in a rural town,I have a great interest in nature.Using the chance of study abroad in my second year at college,I decided to go to Canada just because I wanted to see the beautiful phenomena there.So after I finished the study abroad program,I went to Yellowknife in the North West Territories.

I clearly remember the sixth night in the Yellowknife.Suddenly my host mother came to my room around 8 p.m.and told me to change clothes and go outside quickly carrying her camera.

The“northern lights”were flickering in the sky!I was stunned and just stood there with my mouth open.I forgot to take pictures of the mysterious lights.

I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep at all that night.Since that night,whenever it was sunny,I went outside at night and looked at the sky.It was so cold that I lost all feelings in my hands and feet.Actually,the time of my being able to be out was limited.I had to bring her camera back to house in one hour at the most,for the camera was going to be broken because of the cold temperature.

As I took the pictures of the northern lights,I came to find a characteristic movement of the lights.They first appear in the north part of the sky and then they gradually come down to the south part of the sky.After that,suddenly,they come in the middle of the north and south only for a while,which is the time when the best northern lights can be seen.Since it is only a few seconds for the northern lights to come down to the middle of the sky,it is very hard to get good pictures.

The stronger the sun acts,the better and strong northern lights flicker in the sky.That’s because they occur from the collision between atmospheric gases and solar wind.Much more solar wind comes to the earth when the sun is active,which lead to the best northern lights.And the colours of the northern lights depend on the height of the collisions and kinds of gases.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者出生在乡下,对大自然有浓厚的兴趣。他利用大二出国进修的机会去了加拿大,因为他想观看北极光。

1.Why did the author forget to take pictures?

A.It was very cold outside.

B.He was shocked by the wonderful sights.

C.The lights were flicking in the sky.

D.He lost all feelings in his hands and feet.

答案B

解析推理判断题。根据第三段中的“I was stunned and just stood there with my mouth open.I forgot to take pictures of the mysterious lights.”可推测,作者为观察到的景象所震惊,所以忘了照相。

2.From the passage we can see that 　　　. 

A.the author could stay as long as he liked outside

B.the “northern lights” came out every night

C.the author took a lot of pictures with his camera

D.cameras will be damaged if exposed too long in very cold weather

答案D

解析推理判断题。根据第四段中的“for the camera was going to be broken because of the cold temperature”可知,由于寒冷,照相机在外面时间长了会被毁坏。

3.When is the best time to see the “northern lights”?

A.They appear in the north part of the sky.

B.They come down to the south part of the sky.

C.They are in the middle of the north and south.

D.They rise in the east part of the sky.

答案C

解析细节理解题。由第五段中的“After that,suddenly,they come in the middle of the north and south only for a while,which is the time when the best northern lights can be seen.”可知,当北极光位于北部和南部中间时是最佳时间,所以选C项。

4.The author found it hard to take good pictures because 　　　. 

A.the lights stayed in the middle for a very short time

B.the lights of the sun affected the “northern lights”

C.the lights were caused by the collisions of gases

D.the colours of the lights are determined by the height

答案A

解析细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Since it is only a few seconds for the northern lights to...”可知,作者发现很难捕捉到好的照片的原因是它们出现在天空正中间的时间太短。

How to protect your privacy when you travel

It hasn’t been an easy year for the privacy of travelers,at least so far.Data leaks,surveillance(监视)worries and those troublesome cameras in airplane seatbacks and hotel rooms are enough to make passengers anxious.　1　 Fortunately,there are ways to safeguard your privacy on land and in the air.These tips can help you deal with these troubles. 

　2　 “It’s not clever to declare on Facebook that you’re traveling to somewhere,reminding a wide range of people that your property is sitting empty,”says Danny McLoughlin.“That puts your security at risk.”Wait until you return to start posting vacation photos. 

Some homeowners renting their residences may install security cameras.Travelers should find out if the hosts are required to disclose the presence of surveillance devices.If the rental comes with cameras,ensure they aren’t in a sensitive area by conducting a careful sweep.　3　 

Although you can’t control how a hotel or airline handles—or mishandles—your data,you can take reasonable steps to ensure the information it has won’t get you into trouble.　4　 But some of the worst data leaks happen when you’re staying at a hotel.For example,a hotel clerk sometimes asks for your name and then announces your room number after you’ve checked in.You’re better off handing the employee your ID when he or she asks for your name and asking him/her to write your room number on a piece of paper.Why?　5　 Just to be sure,never leave the customer copy behind.You can destroy it later,but keep it under your control. 

A.It’s never been better.

B.Perhaps they should be.

C.Travelers say they’re taking privacy seriously.

D.Never broadcast your journey on social media.

E.There are other people on the other side of the wall.

F.Some travelers only offer the bare minimum,such as a P.O.box instead of a home address.

G.Report anything doubtful to the host immediately—and if you don’t like what you hear,leave.

答案与解析

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章就旅行时如何保护自己的隐私提出了几点建议。

1.B　根据上文提到的“数据泄露、监视担忧以及飞机座椅靠背和酒店房间里那些麻烦的摄像头足以让乘客焦虑”可知,B项“Perhaps they should be.”可承接上文。

2.D　根据下文提到的“在Facebook上宣布你要去某个地方旅行是不明智的,它会提醒很多人你的房子是空的”可知,D项“Never broadcast your journey on social media.”可承接上文。

3.G　根据上文提到的“如果房主配备了摄像头,则应进行仔细的扫描,确保它们不在敏感区域”可知,G项“如果有任何可疑之处,请立即向房主报告,如果你不喜欢你听到的,就离开”符合语境。

4.F　根据上文提到的“虽然你无法控制酒店或航空公司如何处理或错误处理你的数据,但你可以采取合理的措施确保这些信息不会给你带来麻烦”可知,F项“有些旅客只提供最低限度的信息,如邮箱而不是家庭住址”可承接上文。

5.E　根据前面的“Why?”可知,所填的句子应该是对上文问题的回答,E项“There are other people on the other side of the wall.”正好做了回答。
