Module 1 Europe (建議用時(shí)：45分鐘).閱讀理解A(2020·重慶七校聯(lián)考)Being stuck behind crowds of slow walkers when youre in a hurry is one of the most annoying things. But now, Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex, one of the UKs largest shopping malls, has introduced its very own fast lane for shoppers in a hurry, aiming to help impatient shoppers avoid slow walkers and the anger that goes with them.The Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex has introduced a 720­foot “fast lane” reserved for fast walkers only, just in time for the festive rush. The centres management team said, “The lane will help the shoppers who know where they want to go quickly and dont want to get caught in behind unhurried shoppers at the busiest time of the year.”The fast lane was introduced after a MasterCard survey found that 80 percent of consumers found slow walkers their biggest annoyance while shopping. The research also found that the average walking speed slowed down by 21 percent during the festive shopping period, as most shoppers spent more time window shopping during this period.Gary Mortimer, an expert from the Queensland University of Technology, said he wasnt surprised by the promotion about the launch of the fast lane, and thought the concept would appeal to shoppers all over the world.“Crowded parking lots and busy shopping centres tend to be two of the biggest complaints of shoppers over the festive season，” he said. “I think the fast lanes are a new approach. However, I suspect it will be a bit like fast lanes on the highway, so it might end up being more trouble than its worth.”The MasterCard survey also identified the four most common types of shoppers. They include “Skaters” who try and make their way through crowds politely, “Dodgers” who move down the paths to avoid slow walkers, “Bulldozers” who push their way through crowds, and “Tutters” who express their frustrations to slow walkers.【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文主要介紹了英國(guó)一家大型購(gòu)物中心在節(jié)日高峰期引進(jìn)快速通道一事。1The fast lane is intended for the shoppers who_Acant move quickly because of physical disabilitiesBbuy things on their shopping lists quicklyCtake their time to do window shoppingDwant to leave the mall quicklyB解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段第二句“But now, Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex, one of the UKs largest shopping malls, has introduced its very own fast lane for shoppers in a hurry, aiming to help impatient shoppers avoid slow walkers and the anger that goes with them.”和第二段最后一句“The centres management team said, The lane will help the shoppers who know where they want to go quickly and dont want to get caught in behind unhurried shoppers at the busiest time of the year.”可推知，快速通道是為那些想迅速購(gòu)物的人而設(shè)計(jì)的，故選B。2What is Gary Mortimers attitude to the fast lane?ASupportive.BIndifferent.CCritical.DObjective.D解析：觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。根據(jù)對(duì)第四段及第五段的整體理解可知，Gary Mortimer對(duì)快速通道進(jìn)行了全面的評(píng)論，既肯定了快速通道的優(yōu)點(diǎn)，又看到了其潛在的劣勢(shì)，因此他的態(tài)度是客觀的，故選D。3Who may patiently move behind a slow crowd?ASkaters.BDodgers.CBulldozers.DTutters.A解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段第二句中的“Skaters who try and make their way through crowds politely”可推知，Skaters在購(gòu)物時(shí)會(huì)耐心地跟在緩慢的人群后，故選A。4What is the main idea of the text?AShopping can be annoying sometimes.BHow to avoid slow walkers when shopping.CThe problems that shopping centres face during busy holidays.DThe shopping mall creates the fast lane to avoid slow walkers.D解析：主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段開(kāi)篇點(diǎn)題，并結(jié)合對(duì)全文的整體理解可知，本文主要介紹了英國(guó)一家大型購(gòu)物中心引進(jìn)快速通道，從而在節(jié)日高峰期使購(gòu)物迅速的人避開(kāi)購(gòu)物緩慢的人的新聞，故選D。B(2020·長(zhǎng)春質(zhì)量監(jiān)測(cè)) I was waiting for my train and on the subway stations floor was a man just sitting there. I looked around and nobody stopped so I just went my way. After a few steps, I turned and asked him whether he needed help. He told me his house was one station further and he would only need to take the train there. So I reached for his hand to help him stand up.He wanted to take the stairs but I feared that he would hurt himself since he seemed too weak to walk, so I asked him to take the elevator. Even though my mind was trying to turn the danger lights on, I put the thought that I should not go alone with a drunken man out of my mind and accompanied him on the elevator.We arrived on the platform with no incidents. The mans knees seemed to soften, so I asked him to rest on a bench. While sitting there, he thanked me, telling me that I saved him. No, I said, I really did nothing; he saved himself as he walked on his own feet.At the next station, we said our goodbyes. Before I knew it, he left 100 dollars and dashed out of the train. There was no way to give him back his money. I wanted to leave it on the seat, but a young woman who thought it belonged to me ran after me and gave me the note.My initial reaction to getting that money was of shame and I even felt offended. Then I thought he just wanted to thank me, the best way he knew how.
