In the mid-1990s, Tm Bissell taught English as a vlunteer in Uzbekistan. He left after seven mnths, physically brken and having lst his mind. A few years later, still attracted t the cuntry, he returned t Uzbekistan t write an article abut the disappearance f the Aral Sea.
His visit, hwever, ended up invlving a lt mre than that. Hence this bk, Chasing the Sea: Lst Amng the Ghsts f Empire in Central Asia, which talks abut a rad trip frm Tashkent t Karakalpakstan, where millins f lives have been destryed by the slw drying up f the sea. It is the stry f an American travelling t a strange land, and f the peple he meets n his way: Rustam, his translatr, a lvely 24-year-ld wh picked up his clrful English in Califrnia, Oleg and Natasha, his hsts in Tashkent, and a string f freign aid wrkers.
This is a quick lk at life in Uzbekistan, made f friendliness and warmth, but als its darker side f sciety. In Samarkand, Mr Bissell admires the architectural wnders, while n his way t Bukhara he gets a taste f plice methds when suspected f drug dealing. In Ferghana, he attends a muntain funeral(葬礼)fllwed by a strange drinking party. And in Karakalpakstan, he is saddened by the dust strms, diseases and fishing bats stuck miles frm the sea.
Mr Bissell skillfully rganizes histrical insights and cultural references, making his tale a well-runded picture f Uzbekistan, seen frm Western eyes. His judgment and references are decidedly American, as well as his delicate stmach. As the authr explains, this is neither a travel nr a histry bk, r even a piece f reprtage. Whatever it is, the result is a fine and vivid descriptin f the purest f Central Asian traditins.
8. What made Mr Bissell return t Uzbekistan?
A. His friends' invitatin.B. His interest in the cuntry.
C. His lve fr teaching.D. His desire t regain health.

A. Rmantic.B. Eventful.C. Pleasant.D. Dangerus.
11. What is the purpse f this text?
A. T intrduce a bk.B. T explain a cultural phenmenn.
C. T remember a writer.D. T recmmend a travel destinatin.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】文章讲述了Bissell写的《追逐大海:迷失在中亚帝国的幽灵》这本书。这本书是Bissell在乌兹别克斯坦做志愿者后写的，是对乌兹别克斯坦人生活的一个快速观察。
8.细节理解题。根据第一段的”A few years later, still attracted t the cuntry. he returned t Uzbekistan t write an article abut the disappearance f the Ara Sea”可知，几年后，Bissell仍然被这个国家所吸引。他回到乌兹别克斯坦写了一篇关于咸海消失的文章。因此推断出对这个国家的兴趣让Bissell先生再次返回乌兹别克斯坦。故选B。
9.词句猜测题。划线句是第二段首句，that用来指代上文提的事情，因此推断that指代第一段的内容，根据第一段最后一句”A few years later, still attracted t the cuntry, he returned t Uzbekistan t write an article abut the disappearance f the Aral Sea(几年后，仍然被这个国家所吸引。他回到乌兹别克斯坦写了一篇关于咸海消失的文章)”可知，that指代写了一篇关于死海消失的文章这件事，故选D。
10.推理判断题。根据第三段”This is a quick lk at life in Uzbekistan, made f friendliness and warmth, but als its darker side f sciety. In Samarkand, Mr Bissell admires the architectural wnders, while n his way t Bukhara he gets a taste f plice methds when suspected f drug dealing. In Ferghana, he attends a muntain funeral(葬礼)fllwed by a strange drinking party. And in Karakalpakstan, he is saddened by the dust strms, diseases and fishing bats stuck miles frm the sea.”可知，在乌兹别克斯坦的旅途中，Mr Bissell既体会到了友善和温暖，也看到了社会的黑暗面。在撒马尔罕，Mr Bissell欣赏到了的建筑奇观。在前往布哈拉的路上，他因为被怀疑进行毒品交易，他尝到了警察的伎俩。在费尔干纳，他参加了一个山区葬礼，然后参加了一个奇怪的酒会。在卡拉卡尔帕克斯坦，他为沙尘暴、疾病和被困在数英里外的渔船而难过。由此可知，在旅途中，他经历了很多事情。结合选项，B选项(充满事件的，多事的)可以表达此意。故选B。
11.推理判断题。文章第一段提到书的作者的乌兹别克斯坦之行，引出他写的书，接下来三段讲述了他的书《追逐大海:迷失在中亚帝国的幽灵》的故事内容，是乌兹别克斯坦生活的一个快速观察。因此推断本文的写作目的是介绍一本书。故选A。

China is ne f the first cuntries t breed a medical culture. In cmparisn with Western methds, traditinal Chinese medicine (TCM) adpts a vastly different apprach. Fr thusands f years, Chinese peple have accumulated rich experience in fighting all srts f diseases, therefre frming a unique medical thery under the guidance f ancient Chinese philsphies (哲学).
The cre behind TCM is that the human bdy's life is the cnsequence (结果) f the balance between Yin and Yang. Yang functins t safeguard us against uter harm, and Yin is the inner base t stre and prvide energy. When the balance between the tw aspects is disturbed, peple fall ill.
One f the traditinal techniques f TCM, acupuncture (针刺疗法) means insertin f needles int superficial (表面的) structures f the bdy—usually at acupints (穴位)—t restre the Yin Yang balance. It is ften accmpanied by mxibustin (艾灸疗法), which invlves burning mugwrt n r near the skin at an acupint.

The WHO issued a dcument in 2002 that appealed t mre than 180 cuntries t adpt TCM as an alternative in their medical plicies. In 2010, acupuncture and mxibustin f traditinal Chinese medicine were added t the Representative List f the Intangible Cultural Heritage f Humanity by the UNESCO. Presently, TCM has been back in the news fr its effectiveness in imprving the cure rate f the COVID-19 since its utbreak in January 2020.

【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了，中国传统的中医文化，它与西医不同，有着独特的理论和治疗体系，针灸引起了国际医学界的关注。
9. 细节理解题。由第二段“The cre behind TCM is that the human bdy's life is the cnsequence (结果) f the balance between Yin and Yang. Yang functins t safeguard us against uter harm, and Yin is the inner base t stre and prvide energy. When the balance between the tw aspects is disturbed, peple fall ill.”（中医学的核心是人体的生命是阴阳平衡的结果。阳的功能是保护我们免受外界的伤害，而阴是储存和提供能量的内在基础。当这两方面的平衡被打破时，人们就会生病。）和第三段中的“One f the traditinal techniques f TCM, acupuncture (针刺疗法) means insertin f needles int superficial (表面的) structures f the bdy—usually at acupints (穴位)—t restre the Yin Yang balance.”（针灸是中医传统技术之一，是指将针头插入身体的浅表结构，通常在穴位处恢复阴阳平衡。），可知身体阴阳平衡被打破时，人们就会生病，而中医（例如针灸）的核心就是通过中医技巧恢复身体的自我平衡，达到阴阳平衡。故选C项。
10. 推理判断题。由第四段“The first knwn text that clearly talks abut smething like acupuncture and mxibustin as it is practiced tday is The Yellw Emperr's Inner Cann. It is the earliest and mst imprtant written wrk f TCM and is cnsidered the fundamental and mst representative medical text in China.”（已知的第一个明确提到针灸之类的东西的著作是《黄帝内经》。它是中医学最早、最重要的著作，被认为是我国最基本、最具代表性的医学著作。），可知《黄帝内经》是我国最基本、最具代表性的医学著作，说明《黄帝内经》在中国医学史上占有重要地位，肯定也为后来中医的发展提供了基础，为中医药的发展做出了巨大的贡献。故选D项。
11. 推理判断题。第一段引入“不同于西医的中国医学——中医学”，第二段讲“中医的核心就是通过中医技巧恢复身体的阴阳平衡”，第三段讲“中医传统技艺——针灸”，第四段讲“为中医药发展做出了巨大贡献的著作《黄帝内经》”，第五段讲“针灸已引起国际医学界的兴趣，中医药正逐渐得到世界的认可”，可知文章主要向读者介绍了中医，因此作者写这篇文章的目的是向世界介绍中医药。故选B项。
12. 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“Acupuncture and mxibustin have arused the interest f internatinal medical science circles.The WHO issued a dcument in 2002 that appealed t mre than 180 cuntries t adpt TCM as an alternative in their medical plicies.”（针灸已引起国际医学界的兴趣。中医药正逐渐得到世界的认可。世卫组织在2002年发布了一份文件，呼吁180多个国家在其医疗政策中采用中医药作为替代品。）和“Presently, TCM has been back in the news fr its effectiveness in imprving the cure rate f the COVID-19 since its utbreak in January 2020.”（目前，中医药因其在提高COVID-19治愈率方面的有效性而重新成为新闻，自从COVID-19在2020年1月爆发。），可知中医药的价值正逐渐得到世界的认可，而中医药在提高COVID-19治愈率方面的有效性更佐证了它的价值，文章接下来可能就中医如何帮助解决目前的情况来展开。故选A项。

British beer and pubs are famus arund the wrld. Things are changing, hwever. Is this the end f a great British traditin?
Fr thusands f years, a very imprtant building in any British village has been the pub. In fact, until a place has a pub, it is nt really cnsidered a cmmunity wrthy f a name.

There is always hnest and hearty fd and plenty f drink available at an affrdable price.
That's hw it used t be, but there are wrrying signs that things are beginning t change. Ecnmic dwnturns, gvernmental austerity measures and cultural changes are causing many pubs t g ut f business.

On tp f that, in 2007 smking was banned in all public indr spaces, including pubs, which may als have affected the number f custmers ging t pubs since then. This decline is happening despite the fact that pubs are nw allwed by law t stay pen after 11p.m..
In rder t save their businesses, pubs are trying t diversify t attract new custmers. And with varius “save the pub” campaigns, there are signs that peple are gathering arund pubs t supprt this great British institutin with pride.

Traditinally, the pub is at the heart f any village r twn, since it is where peple gather t scialize and exchange news. It is an institutin at the heart f British sciety. After all, the wrd “pub” is actually shrt fr “public huse”.(事实上，直到一个地方有了酒吧，它才被认为是一个名副其实的社区。传统上，小酒吧位于任何村庄或城镇的中心，因为人们聚集在这里进行社交和交流新闻。它是英国社会核心的一种机构。毕竟，“pub”这个词实际上是“public huse”的缩写)”以及第三段中“As a result, British pubs are ften ld and well preserved.(因此，英国的酒吧往往历史悠久，保存完好)”可知，英国酒吧总是很老，是因为一个社区的诞生往往源于其中的酒吧。故选B。
18. 词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“such as The King's Head r The Queen Victria, but f curse this desn't mean they are nly fr kings and queens”可知，比如“国王头”或“维多利亚女王”，但当然这并不意味着只有国王和女王才能光顾酒吧，这说明很多英国酒吧的名字都与君主有关，故画线词意思为“君主”。A. Emperrs.君主；B. Bsses.老板；C. Special turists. 特殊的游客；D. Ordinary peple.普通人。故选A。
19. 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Ecnmic dwnturns, gvernmental austerity measures and cultural changes are causing many pubs t g ut f business.(经济衰退、政府紧缩措施和文化变革正导致许多酒吧倒闭)”可知，导致许多酒吧关门的原因是经济衰退。故选B。

And with varius “save the pub” campaigns, there are signs that peple are gathering arund pubs t supprt this great British institutin with pride.(为了挽救他们的生意，酒吧正试图通过多样化来吸引新的顾客。在各种各样的“拯救酒吧”运动中，有迹象表明人们正聚集在酒吧周围，自豪地支持酒吧这一英国机构)”可推知，作者在最后一段中客观陈述了人们为拯救酒吧进行的努力，没有提到个人对英国酒吧未来的看法，即对英国酒吧的未来持客观态度。故选D。

Fr many years, schl children in the US have been taken n “field trips” t cultural institutins such as museums f art. Educatrs arrange them in the belief that schls exist nt nly t teach ecnmically useful skills, but als t prduce civilized yung peple wh appreciate the art and culture. While there are parents wh will take their children t cultural places in their free time, there are plenty f ther children wh will never have this kind f pprtunity unless schls ffer it. S yu culd say that taking schl students n field trips is a means f giving everyne equal access t their cultural heritage.
Hwever, the attitude twards field trips in recent years is changing, with the number f turs rganized fr schl grups falling significantly in museums all arund the cuntry.

Sme evidence shws the trend f fewer trips may have a negative effect n children’s develpment. A research led by Jay Greene at Arkansas University fund that students wh received a tur f an art museum greatly imprved their knwledge f and the ability t think critically abut art. They als display strnger histrical interest and were mre likely t visit cultural places in the future. The researchers warn that if schls cut field trips r switch t less educatinal destinatins, valuable pprtunities t braden and enrich children’s learning experiences are lst.

【解析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了美国的学生都被带到艺术博物馆等文化机构进行“实地考察”给学生带来的好处及其这些活动减少的原因。
21. 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Educatrs arrange them in the belief that schls exist nt nly t teach ecnmically useful skills, but als t prduce civilized yung peple wh appreciate the art and culture.” 可知，教育工作者之所以安排这些课程，是因为他们相信，学校的存在不仅是为了教授经济上有用的技能，而且也是为了培养能欣赏艺术和文化的文明年轻人。所以到文化机构实地考察的最初目的是让每个学生都能接触到艺术和文化。故选B项。
22. 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“The mst bvius reasn is the issue f finance. ”可知，学校组织的考察团数量大幅降低的最主要原因是学校财务的困境。故选C项。
23. 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Additinally, the nature f these field days is als changing. Schls increasingly use trips t amusement parks r sprting events as a treat fr students rather than an pprtunity fr cultural learning. ”可知，此外，这些实地考察日的性质也在改变。学校越来越多地把游乐园或体育赛事作为对学生的款待，而不是文化学习的机会。由此可知，This shift指的是从一个学习的机会变成一个款待学生的机会。故选C项。
24. 推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句、第三句“A research led by Jay Greene at Arkansas University fund that students wh received a tur f an art museum greatly imprved their knwledge f and the ability t think critically abut art. They als display strnger histrical interest and were mre likely t visit cultural places in the future. ”可知，阿肯色大学的杰伊·格林领导的一项研究发现，参观艺术博物馆的学生极大地提高了他们对艺术的知识和批判性思考的能力。他们还表现出更强烈的历史兴趣，未来更有可能参观文化场所。由此可推知，学生们得到的回报是更多的文化意识。故选A项。
