Travelers must take a plane or boat from major cities in northern Brazil to get there”可知，Baia do Sancho比較難到達，所以選D。2C考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第六段中的“Eagle Beach may be best known，however, for its dramatic sunsets”可知，Eagle Beach有令人印象深刻的日落，與題干的“enjoy the beauty of the sinking sun”所表達的意思相一致，所以選C。3B考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第七段句子“It has a fun，laidback restaurant for those who wish to eat and drink”可知，在Playa Paraiso能夠享用令人放松的晚餐，所以選B。二、語法填空。A survey showed a child, who has been protected and habitually given whatever he wants, will always put himself first. He will be ignorant _1_ his parents efforts. When he starts work, he _2_ (assume) that every person must listen to him, and when he bees a manager, he will never know the sufferings of his _3_ (employ) and will always blame others.For this kind of person, _4_ may be good academically and may be _5_ (success) for a while, eventually he will not feel the sense of achievement. If we are this kind of protective parents, are we really showing love or are we destroying our children instead? You can let your children live in _6_ big house, eat a good meal, learn the piano, watch a big screen TV.

ignorant of sth. “不知道，不了解”。2will assume考查動詞的時態(tài)。根據(jù)語境，此處指的是還未發(fā)生的動作，從句“When he starts work”用一般現(xiàn)在時，主句應(yīng)用一般將來時。下文中的“when he bees a manager, he will never know the sufferings . ”亦是提示。3employees考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。他永遠也不會知道他下屬的痛苦?？涨暗摹癶is”表明，此處應(yīng)用名詞，且此處用名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式表泛指。4who考查定語從句的引導(dǎo)詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，空處引導(dǎo)定語從句，修飾先行詞person，并在定語從句中作主語，故用who。5successful考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，空處在句中作表語，故用形容詞successful。6a考查冠詞。此處指讓你的孩子住在一個大房子里，表泛指，故用不定冠詞，結(jié)合空后的big可知，應(yīng)填a。7it考查代詞。你割草時讓他們來體驗一下。此處用it指代割草這件事。8because考查連詞。這樣做并不是因為你沒錢雇女仆?？蘸蠼忉尩氖窃?，故用because。注意：本句為省略的強調(diào)句，只能用because，不用since/as/for。9to understand考查非謂語動詞。want sb.to do sth.為固定用法，意為“想要某人做某事”。10how考查疑問詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處是“疑問詞不定式”結(jié)構(gòu)作賓語，且表示“如何”，故用how。三、完形填空。It was an unforgettable weekend.I had a great time at the 1

It was bought with the money I had been saved for months. Too upset was I that I could hardly concentrate in what the teacher was saying. After class, my head teacher called me out and asked if or not I had lost something. It turned out that my MP3 player slipped out of my pockets while I was walking. And fortunately, a young lady walked behind me noticed it. She found the school guard and gave them to him.How excited and how deep moved I was to get my MP3 player back! I want to be kind person like the lady.答案：This morning I lost my MP3 player on my way to school. It was bought with the money I had saved for months. upset was I that I could hardly concentrate what the teacher was saying. After class, my head teacher called me out and asked or not I had lost something.

She found the school guard and gave to him.How excited and how moved I was to get my MP3 player back! I want to be kind person like the lady.難項分析：第一處：去掉been考查動詞的語態(tài)。此句中the money為先行詞，其后為省略了關(guān)系詞which/that的定語從句。從句中I和save之間是主動關(guān)系，所以此處不能用被動語態(tài)。第四處：ifwhether考查賓語從句。asked后的句子是賓語從句。賓語從句可用if/whether “是否”來引導(dǎo)，但whether可與or not連用，if則不可，故應(yīng)將if改為whether。第十處：kind前加a考查冠詞。person為可數(shù)名詞，且此處表泛指，故其前應(yīng)加不定冠詞，表示“一個善良的人”。五、七選五。While you are travelling abroad, cultural mistakes are more serious than linguistic mistakes, which can lead to serious misunderstanding and even ill feeling between individuals. 1._ Touching Someone2_ In Mediterranean countries, if you dont touch someones arm when talking to them or if you dont greet them with kisses or a warm hug, youll be considered cold. But backslap(拍背) someone who isnt a family member or a good friend in Korea, and youll make them unfortable. In Thailand, the head is considered sacrednever even pat a child on the head.Talking over DinnerIn some countries, like China, Japan and some African nations, the food is the thing, so dont start chatting about your days adventures while everyone else is digging into dinner.3_ Its not because your group is unfriendly, but because mealtimes are for eating, not talking.Removing Your Shoes or NotTake off your shoes when arriving at the door of a London dinner party and the hostess will find you uncivilized, but fail to remove your shoes before entering a home in Asia, Hawaii, or the Pacific Islands and youll be considered disrespectful. So, if you see a row of shoes at the door, start undoing your laces. 4._ Once you are on the ground of a different country, remain highly sensitive to native behavior. 5._ And dont feel offended if something seems offensivelike queue jumping. After all, this is a global village, and we are all very different.APersonal space varies as you travel the globe.BAsians consider removing shoes impolite at home.CNever be pletely surprised by anything.DThe linguistic mistake means that someone is not fully expressing his idea.ELook out for the following cultural mistakes and try to avoid them.FIf not, keep the shoes on.GYoull likely be met with silence.【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文，講述了一些出國旅游時應(yīng)當注意的文化上的錯誤。1E解析：該空是一個總結(jié)句，用來引出下面要提到的話題，起承上啟下的作用，故選E項。2A解析：結(jié)合小標題“Touching Someone”及下文提到的不同國家對于觸碰有不同的習(xí)俗可知，不同的地方對個人空間的理解各不相同。故選A項。3G解析：上文介紹在中國、日本和一些非洲國家，吃飯時不要閑談。由此可知，吃飯時要保持沉默，只有G項與此相關(guān)。故選G項。4F解析：該空與前一句是相反的情況，上文提到“如果你在門口看到一排鞋子，就松開你的鞋帶”，接下來就應(yīng)當描寫與之相反的情況，故選F項。5C解析：從空后的“And dont .like queue jumping.”可知，此空與該句表并列關(guān)系，也應(yīng)是“不要”，故選C項。
