　　(由2014•湖北卷改编)

　　You've flown halfway around the world;you've sniffed out this place that nobody in Falongland or Thailand seems to have ever heard of;so what on earth is there to do here?You consider this question as you sink into an old wooden beach chair that holds you above the sand.

　　It was a long journey from Bangkok to Huaplee.By the time you found the bus station and got yourself sorted out，it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland.

　　Huaplee is located just south of Hua Hin，about two hundred kilometres from Bangkok，down the west side of the Gulf of Thailand. Not many tourists find this place，and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their purpose all along.

　　There's an apparent laziness that surrounds you here.It's what this place offers，and it's free of charge.The small waves that tap the shoreline seem to slow everything down.You settle into your beach chair in preparation for a long rest.You sit there and watch the sea.

　　It's early afternoon，so the cook comes out and asks what you'd like to eat this evening.Before long he's rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you ordered-every meal fresh and to order.No menu here.

　　There is no poolside noise here but just that wonderfully warm，clear blue sea.There's no street noise.The only sounds are the murmurs of nature.

　　For now you just count your blessings (福祉)，listing them in the sand with your toe (脚趾).You don't have to worry about being late for work. You don't have to do anything.

　　The beach to your right stretches off to the horizon (地平线)，slowly narrowing to nothingness only to reemerge again on your left，now steadily widening until it covers the chair beneath you.Sand to your left and sand to your right; it's unbroken，endless.No start，no end，just sand，sun，and peace.Step off it，and you reenter the world of traffic，stress，work，and hurry.

　　Normally you're the type who can't sit still for more than ten minutes，but you're on Huaplee Lazy Beach now and，in the right frame of mind，it stretches all the way around the world.

　　“How could it take me so long to find it?” you wonder.

　　1.When the author first went to Huaplee Beach，________.

　　A.he found it unworthwhile

　　B.he failed to sort himself out

　　C.he became sensitive to smell

　　D.he had difficulty in finding it

　　2.What is special about the food service at Huaplee Beach?

　　A.No menu. B.Free food.

　　C.Self service. D.Quick delivery.

　　3.In the author's opinion，a tourist can enjoy Huaplee Beach most when he ________.

　　A.sits in a beach chair B.forgets his daily routine

　　C.plans a detailed schedule D.draws pictures in the sand

　　4.What does the author imply by his question at the end of the passage?

　　A.He shouldn't have counted his blessings.

　　B.He should have understood the wonder of nature.

　　C.He shouldn't have spent so much time on the trip.

　　D.He should have come to the place earlier.

　　答案：

　　【语篇解读】　本文是一篇旅游杂记，介绍了泰国一个静谧的海滩，描述了这里的环境给人的慵懒的感觉。在这里，你可以忘掉职场上的疲惫和匆忙，也可以真正地无所事事。宁静的气息让你不禁感叹应该早点儿来这个地方。

　　1.D　解析：推理判断题。作者没有直接说自己第一次来这里的情况或感受，但他提到了找到这个地方是多么不容易：have flown halfway around the world;a long journey from Bangkok to Huaplee;it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland，因此选D。

　　2.A　解析：细节理解题。第五段中的Before long he's rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you ordered-every meal fresh and to order.No menu here.意为“不管你点什么菜，不久他就会急忙去市场买原料——每餐都是新鲜的、定做的。没有菜单”。由此可知A项“没有菜单”正确，而非“饭菜免费”“自助”或“送餐快速”。

　　3.B　解析：推理判断题。第七段说，现在你只需想想你有多幸福，用你的脚趾在沙滩上把你的幸福列出来;不用担心上班迟到，什么都不用干。这与B项的描述是一致的：忘掉他的日常安排。

　　4.D　解析：推理判断题。“我怎么花了这么长时间才找到它呢?”是文章结尾的问题。显然，作者暗示的不是“本不应该想着自己的幸福”“本该了解大自然的神奇”或者“本不该在途中花这么多的时间”，而是D项“本该早点儿来这个地方”。

　　B段

　　【2016高考训练题】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　As any plane passenger will confirm, a crying baby is almost impossible to ignore, no matter how hard you try. Now scientists believe they may have worked out why. A baby’s cry pulls at the heartstrings(扣人心弦) in a way while other cries don’t, researchers found.

　　Researchers found that a baby’s cry can trigger unique emotional responses in the brain, making it impossible for us to ignore them---whether we are parents or not. Other types of cries, including calls of animals in great pain, fail to get the same response---suggesting the brain is programmed to respond specifically to a baby’s cry.

　　A team of Oxford University scientists scanned the brains of 28 men and women as they listened to a variety of calls and cries. After 100 milliseconds two parts of the brain that respond to emotion lit up. Their response to a baby’s cry was particularly strong. The response was seen in both men and women—even if they had no children.

　　Researcher Dr Christine Parsons said, “You might read that men should just notice a baby and step over it and not see it, but it’s not true. There is a special processing in men and women, which makes sense from an evolutionary(演变的) view that both men and women would be responding to these cries.” The study was in people who were not parents, yet they are all responding at 100ms to these particular cries, so this might be a fundamental response present in all of us regardless of parental status.

　　Researcher Katie Young said it may take a bit longer for someone to recognize their own child’s cries because they need to do more “fine-grained analysis”. The team had previously found that our reactions speed up when we hear a baby crying. Adults performed better on computer games when they heard the sound of a baby crying than after they heard recordings of adults crying.

　　1. A baby’s cry is difficult to ignore because it _____.

　　A. keeps on crying B. cries harder than adults

　　C. causes people great pain D. makes people feel strong emotions

　　2. The underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_____”

　　A. remove B. avoid C. cause D. Cure

　　3. What may Christine Parsons agree to?

　　A. Almost everyone makes certain response to a baby’s cries.

　　B. A crying baby makes no sense to people without children.

　　C. Men pay less attention to a crying baby than women.

　　D. Parents can hardly recognize their own babies’ cry.

　　4. Computer games are mentioned in the text to show _____.

　　A. players’ different reactions to a crying baby

　　B. baby’s crying contributes to quicker reactions

　　C. the influence of baby’s and adult’s crying on performance

　　D. it’s hard to keep one’s concentration with a crying baby nearby

　　参考答案、1-4 DCAB

　　四、七选五
