[2024湖北部分重点中学10月大联考]Just abut 50 years ag， needing mney t supprt my family — my nvels weren’t bestsellers — I had the idea f taking the lngest train trip imaginable and writing a travel bk abut it. The trip was imprvisatinal （即兴的）. I didn’t have a credit card. I had n idea where I’d be staying r hw lng this trip wuld take. And I’d never written a travel bk befre. I hped my trip wuldn’t suffer a lt， thugh it was bviusly a leap in the dark.
I set ff with ne small bag cntaining clthes， a map f Asia， a travel guidebk and sme travelers’ cheques. I was ften incnvenienced， smetimes threatened， nw and then disturbed fr bribes， ccasinally laid up with fd pisning — all this vivid detail fr my narrative.
What I repeated in the mre than fur-mnth trip was the pleasure f the sleeping car. Writing n bard the Khyber Mail t Lahre in Pakistan， "The rmance assciated with the sleeping car cmes frm the fact that it is extremely private， cmbining the best features f a cupbard with frward mvement. Whatever drama is being shwn in this mving bedrm is heightened by the landscape passing the windw..." A train is a carrier that allws residence.
I wrte TheGreatRailwayBazaar n my return in 1974， and it appeared t gd reviews and quick sales. That’s the past. Nthing is the same. All travel is time-related. All such trips are singular and unrepeatable. It’s nt just that the steam trains f Asia are gne， but much f the peace and rder is gne. Wh’d risk death？
But I’ve been surprised by sme recent develpments in travel. I rde n Chinese trains fr a year and wrte RidingtheIrnRster， but nw China has much cleaner and swifter trains and mdernized destinatins. A traveler tday culd take the same trip I tk in 1986-1987 and prduce a cmpletely different bk.
All travel bks are dated. That’s their fault that they’re utdated， and it’s their virtue that they preserve smething f the past that wuld therwise be lst.
本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章主要讲述了作者早年坐火车旅行并写旅行书籍的事迹，引发了作者对时代变迁和旅行的思考。
1.What happened at the beginning f the authr’s trip t Asia？
A. He made full preparatins fr the trip.
B. He had expected the jurney t be rugh.
C. He rganized the trip with his family’s supprt.
D. He started the trip ut f his passin fr traveling.
解析 B 推理判断题。由第一段中的"I didn’t have a credit card. I had n idea where I’d be staying r hw lng this trip wuld take. And I’d never written a travel bk befre. I hped my trip wuldn’t suffer a lt， thugh it was bviusly a leap in the dark"可知，作者并未对这次旅行做好充分的规划和打算，且准备不足，因此他期望旅途不要遭受太多苦难，由此推知，他预料到旅途会很辛苦，故选B项。
2.Why did the authr repeatedly recall the sleeping car？
A. Fr its rmantic scenery.
B. Fr its reassuring privacy.
C. Fr its full equipment.
D. Fr its lng distance.
解析 B 细节理解题。由第三段中的"The rmance assciated with the sleeping car cmes frm the fact that it is extremely private"可知，作者认为卧铺车厢私密性好，这是作者一再提及卧铺车厢的原因，故选B项。
3.What did the authr try t cnvey by saying "Nthing is the same"？
A. The landscape in Asia was gne.
B. Train trips were n lnger ppular.
C. He culdn’t write anther bestseller.
D. Transprtatin and travel had changed a lt.
解析 D 推理判断题。"That’s the past"表明上面所讲述的有关火车的美好经历都已经是过去的事了，而"All travel is time-related. All such trips are singular and unrepeatable. It’s nt just that the steam trains f Asia are gne， but much f the peace and rder is gne"则讲到随着时间和社会的发展，旅行以及旅行方式也随之发生了变化，交通工具不一样了，和平秩序也消失了。由此可知，作者想通过"Nthing is the same"这句话表达"交通方式和旅行本身都变化了很多"这一含义，故选D项。
4.Which f the fllwing statements wuld the authr mst likely agree with？
A. Practice makes perfect.
B. Sharp tls make gd wrk.
C. Travel， truth is nt the arrival card.
D. The jurney， nt the arrival matters.
解析 D 推理判断题。由最后一段"All travel bks are dated. That’s their fault that they’re utdated， and it’s their virtue that they preserve smething f the past that wuld therwise be lst"可知，在作者看来，旅行书籍具有时效性，会过时，其记录下来的旅途会成为一种"过去"，这反而是其值得珍惜的地方，因为过去会被遗忘，而这个对旅途的记录会将"过去"保存下来。由此可推知，作者认为旅行的过程才是真正意义所在。因此，作者应是同意选项D的观点。

But the transprt secretary， Grant Shapps， pints ut sme statins sell nly a handful f tickets each week and the vast majrity f transactins （交易） have mved nline.
Regardless f the utcme f the plan， the directin f travel is clear. In the name f mdernizatin and cst-cutting， statin ticket ffices are likely t fllw many high street bank branches and rural pst ffices int memry. Fr thse wh have grwn used t the advantages f rganizing travel via a smartphne， there will be little t murn （哀悼）.

The shift nline is unavidable， but its fallut needs t be managed with mre care. Technlgy shuld nt be allwed t drive peple t the side f their wn lives， which is increasingly the case. Rs Altmann， the frmer pensins minister， recently wrte f being cntacted by an elderly wman wh n lnger drives t her lcal park，because she cannt dwnlad the car parking app required.
The debate ver ticket ffices ffers an pprtunity t reflect mre bradly n the increasing rle f technlgy in ur scial landscape. Clearly， much mre needs t be invested in helping marginalized （边缘化的） grups gain easy nline access. Alternative ffline ptins must be maintained fr imprtant services. Cntactable telephne numbers and staffed public access pints shuld always be available. This will cst mre. But that is the price f being fair t thse wh find themselves n the wrng side f the digital divide.
英格兰铁路公司打算逐步淘汰纸质火车票，将多数交易转移到互联网上。这说明由于技术的进步，人们的日常生活与互联网的关系更加密切，但在转变的过程中也要关注边缘化人群，否则将会有相当一部分人被抛在后面。

4.What des the authr suggest in the last paragraph？
A. Taking the digital divide fairly.
B. Maintaining a diversity f services.
C. Investing mre in public transprt.

二、语法填空
[中国情怀/2023江苏南京、盐城三模]Despite its vast distances and huge variety 1 landscapes， getting arund in China is cnvenient and inexpensive. Shining bullet trains zip （快速移动） t all crners f the cuntry， while buses cnnect smaller twns and villages.
Train travel is the best way t get arund China fr cmfrt，2 （cnvenient） and sustainability. China has the wrld’s 3 （lng） and mst-used high-speed railway netwrk. In between， slwer expresses， lcal and vernight trains cnnect many smaller twns.
Upgrades and expansins f the railway netwrk cntinue quickly， with thusands f kilmeters f new track laid each year，4 makes it pssible t get almst anywhere yu want by rail.

China 10 （lead） the way in electrifying its bus fleets （车队）， with arund 500，000 electric buses in peratin arund the cuntry， mst f them in cities.
本文为说明文，主要介绍了中国蓬勃发展的交通运输业。
1.f 考查介词。variety常与f搭配，variety f意为"各种各样的"。
2.cnvenience 考查名词。分析句子结构可知，空处与空前的"cmfrt"和空后的"sustainability"并列作fr的宾语，故填名词cnvenience。
3.lngest 考查形容词的级。由语境，尤其是空前的"the wrld’s"和空后的"mst-used"可知，此处表示中国拥有世界上最长、最常用的高速铁路网，故用最高级。
4.which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，指代前句的内容，并在从句中作主语，故应用which。
5.amazingly 考查副词。修饰形容词efficient应用副词。
6.sectins 考查名词单复数。分析句子结构可知，此处"with＋名词＋形容词"构成的with复合结构作状语。由空前的"bth business and regular class"可知，这里是列车车厢的两个等级，故可数名词sectin应用复数形式。
7.tmeet 考查非谓语动词。have the chance t d sth.是固定短语，意为"有做某事的机
会"。
8.the 考查冠词。ptin前有限定词nly，故此处表特指，填the。
9.ranging 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处应用非谓语动词。vehicles与range之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故填ranging。
10.leads/isleading 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。此处描述中国在电动汽车方面的世界地位，故既可用一般现在时描述客观现状，也可用现在进行时描述中国正处于引领地位。主语表示单数意义，且与lead为主谓关系，故填leads/is leading。
