【題目】There is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little bit of whisky(威士忌)at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle. When Queen Victoria visited the castle in 1873, she wrote in her diary, “I never saw a lovelier spot ,” And she didn’t even go fishing.

Scotland is not easily defined. In certain moments, this quiet land of lakes and grasses and mountains changes before your very eyes. When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange light ,the rivers, filling with fish, can turn into streams of gold . As you settle down with just a fishing pole and a basket on the bank of River Orchy, near the Inverlochy castle , any frustration（煩惱）will float away as gently as the circling water. It’s just you and purple , pink ,white flowers, seeking a perfect harmony . If you are a new comer to fishing, learning the basics from a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetime’s fun. For many, fishing is more than a sport; it is an art.

Scotland offers interesting place where you can rest after a long day’s fishing. Set against a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland , the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotland’s mountains . Ben Nevis is the highest of all British mountains , and reaching its 1342-metre top is a challenge . But it’s not just what goes up that matters; what comes down is unique . More than 900 metres high, on the mountain’s north face, lies an all-important source of pure water. Its name comes form the Gaelic (蓋爾特) language “usqueb” or “water of life”; And it is the single most important ingredient(原料) in Scotland’s best-known drink: whisky.

【1】How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?

A. By giving descriptions.

B. By following time order.

C. By analyzing causes.

D. By making comparisons.

【2】What is Ben Nevis special for?

A. The Inverlochy Castle Hotel.

B. The beauty of its surroundings.

C. The water from the mountain.

D. The challenge up to its top.

【3】What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To introduce Scottish traditions to tourists.

B. To show the attractions of Scotland to readers.

C. To explore geographical characteristics of Scotland.

D. To describe the pleasures of life in Scotland。

【4】The story of Queen Victoria is to show that _____.

A. the Queen is rich in tour experience

B. the Castle is a good place to go in Scotland

C. tasting whisky is better than going fishing

D. 1873 is a special year for the Queen

【答案】

【1】A

【2】C

【3】B

【4】B

【解析】

【1】這道題考得很新穎，很少有高考題從寫(xiě)作手法入手來(lái)出題。A：“描寫(xiě)”；B：“按照時(shí)間順序書(shū)寫(xiě)”；C：“分析原因”；D：“作比較的寫(xiě)作手法”。第二段寫(xiě)的是威廉堡的漁趣，是描寫(xiě)手法。

【2】最后一段先描寫(xiě)該地的山勢(shì)地形，然后落到了“水”上。高山泉水（蓋爾語(yǔ)里的“生命之水”）造就了舉世聞名的蘇格蘭威士忌。

【3】B和D選項(xiàng)讓我在做的時(shí)候，斟酌了很久。除了C項(xiàng)“探究蘇格蘭地理特征”和A項(xiàng)“介紹蘇格蘭風(fēng)俗”錯(cuò)得比較明顯，其他2個(gè)就要仔細(xì)比較了。注意這兩個(gè)單詞：D項(xiàng)的“show the attraction”，B項(xiàng)的“describe”。表面上作者確是在描寫(xiě)蘇格蘭生活的悠閑生活，并非只是描寫(xiě)生活在蘇格蘭的樂(lè)趣而已。更深層次的目的是：他分別用了兩段、濃墨重彩給游人介紹兩個(gè)威廉堡最獨(dú)特的吸引：漁趣和泉水釀的酒。這兩個(gè)事、物是如此獨(dú)特，足以讓威廉堡與眾不同。所以想及此，果斷選了B，證明判斷正確。

【4】第一段是提綱挈領(lǐng)介紹蘇格蘭高地威廉堡的兩大不可錯(cuò)過(guò)的事，而列舉維多利亞女王的事例，完全是為了說(shuō)明威廉堡是個(gè)好地方，而且，女王甚至還沒(méi)有體會(huì)垂釣之樂(lè)，都寫(xiě)下了“I never saw a lovelier spot ”，可見(jiàn)該地確實(shí)是值得去的好地兒

【題目】A

Fat and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. "Football, tennis, cricket--- anything with a round ball, I was useless," he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the one always made fun of in school gym classes in Devonshire, England.

It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set up his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed and strength. At the age of 18, he ran his first marathon.

The following year he met John Ridgway and was hired as an instructor at Ridgway's school of adventure in Scotland, where he learnt about Ridgway's cold-water exploits. Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures, the decided that this would be his future.

In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition towards the North Pole. It took unbelievable energy. He suffered frostbite, ran into a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit, pulling his supply-loaded sled up and over rocky rice.

Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he's skied more of the North Pole by himself than any other British man. His old playmates would not believe the change.

Next October, Saunders, 27, heads south from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, a 2900-kilometer journey that has never been completed on skis.

【1】What change happened to Saunders after he was 15 years old?

A. He became good at most sports.

B. He began to build up his body.

C. He joined a sports team

D. He made friends with a runner.

【2】The underlined word “exploits” (paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to ______.

A. journeys B. researches

C. adventures D. operations. W

【3】What does the story mainly tell us abut Saunders?

A. He is a success in sports.

B. He is the best British skier.

C. He is Ridgway's best student.

D. He is a good instructor at school.
