答案與分層梯度式解析Unit4Breakingboundaries高考練◎語篇解讀本文是一篇記敘文。Bissell先生再次踏上中亞大地,歷經(jīng)坎坷終于完成了一部關(guān)于中亞地區(qū)傳統(tǒng)的書。1.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第三句(幾年后,他仍然眷戀著這個(gè)國家,于是他重返烏茲別克斯坦來寫一篇關(guān)于咸海消失的文章)可知,他依然對這個(gè)國家充滿感情和興趣,這種力量讓他又來到了這里。故選B項(xiàng)。2.D詞義猜測題。由第一段最后一句可知,他回烏茲別克斯坦是為了寫一篇關(guān)于咸海消失的文章。由第二段第一句(然而,他的訪問最終涉及的遠(yuǎn)不止那件事)可知,畫線單詞指的是寫一篇關(guān)于咸海的文章。故選D項(xiàng)。3.B推理判斷題。第三段中描述了他領(lǐng)略了Samarkand的建筑奇跡、在去往Bukhara的路上被警察懷疑販毒、在Ferghana參加了一個(gè)葬禮、在Karakalpakstan遇到了沙塵暴等經(jīng)歷。由這些經(jīng)歷可以推斷出他的這次旅途是充滿大事的(eventful)。故選B項(xiàng)。A:浪漫的;C:令人愉快的,舒適的;D:危險(xiǎn)的。4.A主旨大意題。本文第一段寫了Bissell先生回到烏茲別克斯坦的目的,中間介紹了他寫的這本書,最后表明:這不是一本游記,也不是一本歷史書。不管它是什么,它都形象地描述了中亞地區(qū)的傳統(tǒng)。由此推斷出作者寫這篇文章就是為了介紹一本書。故選A項(xiàng)?！靖呖荚~匯站】1.disappearance2.architectural3.sadden4.全面的長難句原句MrBissellskillfullyorganizeshistoricalinsightsandculturalreferences,makinghi
