这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。为保证旅行既有趣又安全,约翰四处搜集建议和信息。尽管大家都说自己知晓到达目的地的唯一途径,但没人能提供全面的答案,约翰终于意识到只有自己去探索才能发现答案。
1. B第一段讲约翰想去一个很远的地方旅行,与之衔接的应该是"希望这段旅程令人兴奋"。
.2. C约翰希望这次旅行能遇到意思,还希望能有美丽的风景,友好的人们和美味的食物。3. A 约翰想要避免一切危险,也不想迷路。
get lost"迷路,走失"。
4. B约翰意识到这趟旅程需要仔细考虑,并决定征求他人的建议。
demand主语为人时表示"坚决要求",主语为物时表示"迫切需要";request意为"恳请,请求"。这里应该选demand,表示"需要"。
5. D根据下文约翰向朋友、姑妈等人征求建议可知应选advice0
6. C从下文朋友及姑妈的建议内容来看,此处约翰是想询问到达目的地的"最佳"方式是什么。
7. A这个目的地不能通过陆路到达,只能走水路。
available "可利用的,有效的";difficult "困难的";broad"宽阔的";dangerous "危险的"。通过后半句"只能乘船去"可知陆路是"不可行"的。
8. A从后文姑妈建议的来看,约翰应该是与姑妈讨论了旅行的事。talk about"谈论,讨论"; set about"开始,着手";get through"通过(审査或考试) ;接通(电话) ";break through"突破,突围"。
9. C姑妈认为水路非常危险。她有几个朋友坐船去,结果都没有回来。这从后文姑妈劝约翰放弃这次旅行就能看出。
10. C参见第9题解析。
11. B姑妈让约翰忘记旅行计划,攒更多的钱享受生活。
12. A联系上下文,不一样的答案让约翰感到"困惑",所以他又去求助从前的地理老师。
13. D前文说约翰给地理老师写信,故老师应该是把地图和旅行指南邮寄给他。
14. D参见13题解析。老师通过来信给他提供了包括复杂图表在内的相关资料。这里present作"给,赠送"之意。
15. C约翰相信有了更多的证据和信息,就能够发现解决他所有问题的答案。
invent"发明,创造";handle "处理";create "创造,引起,造成"。
discover"发现,发觉",符合语境。
16. A联系上文,约翰继续不断地搜集信息。
17. B前文提到不断收集信息,后文说找到通往目的地的最佳路径,可推测中间所缺的环节是对信息的整理或分析。
18. C尽管人人都称自己知道最佳路线,但是没有一个人能提供全面答案,空缺处应填一个表示转折的连词。
19. A have / know all the answer "(自以为) 全懂",是固定搭配。
20. B寻找真理的唯一途径是自己踏上旅程,自己去探索和发现。
