　　My wife and I had decided on Ireland for our first big family trip.It’s been about a hundred years since my Irish ancestors left County Carlow for Canada.I’m so-so on U2 （a famous Irish rock band）.Irish pubs in Ontario don’t inspire me much.The most “Irish” thing about me is a ginger beard （姜黃色的胡子） and an occasional drink.My excitement for this trip was firmly rooted in the opportunity to drive on the “wrong” side of the road for a couple of weeks.
　　We arrived in Dublin from the overnight flight with our two kids.After picking up our rental car， we headed west.Wherever we went， I felt an undeniable sense of closeness with strangers.It wasn’t just the faces that looked like they were pulled out of my family’s photo albums.I felt at ease with the conversational shorthand （簡略的表達方式） here， too and the shared appreciation for a self-deprecating （自嘲式的） joke.
　　I’ve recently learned the word “anemoia” means nostalgia （懷舊） for a time or a place you’ve never known.For me， the word describes the kind of longing I encountered on this trip.I’ve never experienced a longing to know Ireland or even my family’s history beyond a couple of generations.But during an hour-long trip to Inishmore Island， with the North Atlantic waves knocking us about， I felt a desire to repair the connection to my ancestors.
　　One day on the island， when the rain got worse， we opted for a tour bus to take us to Dún Aonghasa， a 3，000-year-old stone fort （堡壘）.As I walked around， I started to feel excited.By the time we entered the innermost ring of the fort， I was swimming in enthusiasm for our trip.Dún Aonghasa was full of meaning I couldn’t understand but sensed was valuable to me.For the first time in my life， I could personalise something ancient.I felt that I belonged.Yes， Ireland had many memorable things.But it was a pile of rocks that gave me the ancestral awakening I needed.
1.Which part of the trip to Ireland excited the author？（　　）
A.Enjoying local drinks.
B.Meeting a famous rock band.
C.Driving differently from usual.
D.Finding his long-lost family members.
2.How did the author feel when he was in Dublin？（　　）
A.Awkward. B.Proud.
C.Confused. D.Comfortable.
3.What does “anemoia” mean to the author？（　　）
A.Unforgettable life experiences.
B.The desire to connect to his roots.
C.The longing for another trip to Ireland.
D.Mixed feelings about the good old days.
4.How did the visit to Dún Aonghasa impact the author？（　　）
A.It helped him rediscover himself.
B.It excited his interest in travelling.
C.It awakened his enthusiasm for nature.
D.It deepened his understanding of Irish history.

　　When Sebastian “Ted” Hinton was a child， his father， a Princeton mathematician， built a cubic （立方體的） bamboo grid （網(wǎng)格） in the family’s backyard to teach Hinton to visualize space in three dimensions as he moved through the structure.But the kid was more drawn to climbing and swinging on the bars.Reflecting on this experience years later， Hinton thought of a variant on his father’s design — a cubic metal playground frame fashioned like “a kind of forest top through which a group of children may play in a manner somewhat similar to that of a group of monkeys”.On 23 October 1923， Hinton was awarded the first of a series of US patents for his “jungle gym”， and the monkey bars were born.
　　These days， hardly anyone is aware of the scientific reasoning behind this playground option.“Climbing is the natural method of movement which the evolutionary ancestors of humans were designed to practice，” Hinton argued in his first patent， “and is therefore almost ideally suited for children.”Research has borne out Hinton’s ideas.In recent decades， anthropologists （人類學家） have shown that play-climbing is a universal behavior among young primates （靈長類動物）.Other researchers have found rich evidence of climbing in the fossilized bones of human ancestors.
　　Today， Hinton’s invention continues to fuel a debate about children’s health， because monkey bars result in more injuries than any other playground structure.Various versions of the device sent half a million children to US hospital emergency rooms from 2009 to 2014.
　　Young primates have always invited serious injury by play-climbing and falling.Primatologists view these behaviors as a critical means of fine-tuning fundamental motor skills.And despite the rise of “ultrasafe” playgrounds in the 1990s， many developmental psychologists argue that risky play is essential for healthy growth and development in children， perhaps because risk-taking helps kids handle their fears， providing a kind of blueprint for responding effectively to real-life danger.
5.Why did Hinton’s father build the cubic bamboo grid？（　　）
A.To catch monkeys.
B.For children to play.
C.To encourage Hinton to climb.
D.As a way to teach Hinton science.
6.Which of the following can replace the underlined part “borne out” in Paragraph 2？（　　）
A.confirmed B.challenged
C.launched D.examined
7.Why do Hinton’s monkey bars cause a debate？（　　）
A.They involve risky play.
B.They have a complex structure.
C.They are too expensive to build.
D.They cause much trouble for hospitals.
8.What attitude do developmental psychologists tend to have toward Hinton’s monkey bars？（　　）
A.Critical. B.Indifferent.
C.Favorable. D.Contradictory.

　　After talking about it for years， I finally got to visit Puglia in 2021.Not for a week or two but an entire month.I am glad that I married a half-Italian.
　　A little background， my husband’s father’s family is from Salento in Puglia and they even have a place to stay there on the beach.I have heard about this place ever since I got married.I ended up visiting it six years after being married.
　　Honestly， it wasn’t my first time in Italy.I was in the Trentino region before but most of the Italians told me that “the real Italy only starts from the south of Rome”.Anyway， I was all set to have a very “average” experience in the south of Italy in every sense but I was in for a surprise.That’s because I have visited a lot of amazing beaches and islands.Moreover， I have also visited countries that are known for their amazing food and I thought I’d find Italian food very “plain and basic”， but I was wrong.I didn’t expect to love it so much.
　　If there’s one country that’s so culturally powerful that everyone has to experience it at least once， it has got to be Italy.In terms of culture， family， food， art， architecture and music — they all play an important part individually and wholly.Italians take pride in their culture.
　　It is hard to describe how it is to experience a new culture.I come from a country where culture plays a very visible part and I felt something similar in Italy.Even if you arrive in Italy with a closed mind， over time the country will win you over because you can’t help but fall in love with it.
9.Why does the author always want to visit Puglia？（　　）
A.It’s where she was born.
B.It’s a famous tourist site.
C.She is interested in Roman culture.
D.She has heard of it for long.
10.How does the author feel after visiting the south of Italy？（　　）
A.Curious. B.Proud.
C.Amazed. D.Disappointed.
11.What impressed the author most about Italy？（　　）
A.Its culture.
B.Its architecture.
C.Its scenery.
D.Its geographical location.
12.Where does this text probably come from？（　　）
A.A travel diary.
B.A science report.
C.A geography textbook.
D.An advertising brochure.

　　 Say you’re on vacation at Niagara Falls.You want to take an amazing photo that captures （捕捉） the exceptional beauty of the waterfalls.13.（　　）
The thing is ...you’re not a professional photographer.So， what do you do？ Here are some tips that can step up your photography game.
　　14.（　　）
　　Before you snap （拍攝） a shot， ask yourself：What are you trying to document and why？ That may be as simple as saying to yourself，“I’m going to take a picture of this painting at the museum because I like the colours.” It can help you focus on what you want to remember.
　　 Make a shot list.
　　Professional photographers often create“shot lists” — a checklist of every photo they hope to capture， along with notes on style and composition — to ensure they get the coverage they need.You can try this same approach on your vacation.15.（　　）
　　Capture the ordinary.
　　16.（　　） These scenes may not feel impressive enough to photograph in the moment， but they’re ones you’re likely to want to remember after your trip is over.The images may be as simple as your dad napping （打盹） on the plane or your beloved backpack.
　　Study your photos.
　　It can be hard to appreciate your photos in the rush of a trip.17.（　　） You’ll most likely find some surprises — a glance of a friend in the background or a dangling （懸掛的） flower from a tree branch.Keep an eye out for anything that makes you happy.Above all， what matters is that the photo is meaningful to you.
A.Learn from the professionals.
B.Think before you take a photo.
C.Try to capture moments or objects that may seem“ordinary”.
D.Thus， wait until you’re back home to study your images more carefully.
E.Tapping into your senses is another way to add dimension to your pictures.
F.However，you don’t want to take the same photo that everyone else is taking.
G.Such a list can help figure out your photo goals and identify what you’re most excited about.

語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。作者雖然是首次來到愛爾蘭，卻在旅途中收獲了歸屬感。
1.C　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句可知，對于這次愛爾蘭之旅，讓作者感到興奮的是有機會在另一側(cè)道路開車，即以與平時不同的方式來開車。
2.D　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容可知，在都柏林時，作者對陌生人有種莫名的親近感，他們和作者的家人長得很像，作者對他們簡略的表達方式也感到很自在，而且彼此都很喜歡自嘲的笑話。由此可知，當作者在都柏林時，他感到很舒適。
3.B　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的For me， the word describes the kind of longing I encountered on this trip.以及I felt a desire to repair the connection to my ancestors可知，對作者來說，“anemoia”這個詞描述了他在這次旅行中感受到的一種渴望；他渴望修復與祖先之間的關系。由此可知，對作者來說，“anemoia”這個詞是指和他的故鄉(xiāng)建立聯(lián)系的一種渴望。
4.A　推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段最后四句可知，作者生平第一次與歷史古跡建立了一種感情，Dún Aonghasa給他帶來了一種歸屬感，讓他與自己的家族歷史建立了聯(lián)系。由此可推知，這次Dún Aonghasa之行讓作者重新找到了自己。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了攀爬架的由來以及有關它的爭議。
5.D　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第一句可知，Hinton的父親搭建竹制網(wǎng)格是為了教Hinton科學知識。
6.A　詞義猜測題。第二段中Hinton的觀點是，攀爬是人類祖先在進化中練習的一種本能，是非常適合孩童的，后面的研究表明，嬉戲攀爬是幼年靈長類動物的普遍行為，并在人類祖先的骨骼化石中發(fā)現(xiàn)了豐富的攀爬證據(jù)。由此可知，研究“證實了（confirmed）” Hinton的觀點。
7.A　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的because monkey bars result in more injuries可知，在攀爬架玩可能導致孩子們受傷。因此，這是有風險的游戲，這讓攀爬架一直處在爭論之中。
8.C　觀點態(tài)度題。根據(jù)最后一段中的many developmental psychologists argue that risky play is essential for healthy growth and development in children可知，很多發(fā)展心理學家認為“有風險的游戲有利于孩童的健康成長和發(fā)展”。由此可知，他們對攀爬架持支持的態(tài)度。

14.B　通讀該段內(nèi)容可知，該段介紹的技巧是在拍照之前，你可以問問自己：你想記錄什么？為什么？B項概括了本段主旨，適合作小標題。
15.G　上文說明了專業(yè)攝影師通常會擬訂一個“拍攝清單”，確保他們能拍到自己想要的內(nèi)容。在度假時，你也可以嘗試一下這個方法。G項緊承上文，符合語境。G項中的Such a list呼應上文中的shot lists。
16.C　根據(jù)該段小標題可知，該段介紹的拍照技巧是捕捉普通的事物，故C項符合語境。C項中的capture和ordinary分別與小標題中的Capture和ordinary構(gòu)成原詞復現(xiàn)。
17.D　上文說明了在匆忙的旅行中，你可能很難顧得上欣賞你的照片。下文指出你很可能會發(fā)現(xiàn)一些驚喜，并進行舉例說明。D項符合語境，與上文構(gòu)成因果關系。D項中的study your images與小標題Study your photos.相呼應。

Canada — a land of diversity
　　[1]Canada is like a blooming① flower， unfolding② with breathtaking③ beauty and richness to win the heart of those who enjoy what it has to offer.[2] It is a broad and beautiful country stretching④ from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. It is also one of the most ethnically⑤ diverse nations in the world with distinct⑥ cultures.
　　[1]句中動詞-ing短語unfolding ...作伴隨狀語；who引導定語從句，修飾先行詞those；what引導賓語從句，作動詞enjoy的賓語。
　　[2]句中動詞-ing短語stretching ...作后置定語，修飾名詞country。
　　In the ten provinces and three territories⑦ which make up⑧ Canada， there is great diversity in geography. [3]To the east of the Pacific coast rise the grand Rocky Mountains， which are home to high peaks and deep valleys⑨ carved⑩ by ice and water. Ancient， slow-moving glaciers hug the land and a huge variety of wildlife wanders the remote forests.[4]The establishment of national parks makes many of these beautiful places protected areas for the public to visit and enjoy， such as Banff and Jasper National Parks.One truly unique scenic spot in Canada is the mighty Niagara Falls with water rushing over its edge in a splendid display of sights and sounds.
　　[3]句中表示地點的介詞短語To the east of the Pacific coast作狀語，置于句首時，主句使用完全倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)；which引導非限制性定語從句，修飾先行詞Rocky Mountains；過去分詞短語carved by ice and water作后置定語，修飾名詞valleys。
　　[4]句中makes many of these beautiful places protected areas為“make＋賓語＋賓語補足語”結(jié)構(gòu)，其中protected作定語，修飾areas； for the public to visit and enjoy作后置定語，修飾areas。
　　Apart from its geographical diversity， Canada’s many rural areas and urban centers reflect the diversity of its residents. [5]Some of Canada’s earliest settlers， who are thought to be ancestors of the indigenous peoples， crossed the Bering Strait by means of a land bridge from a place now known as Siberia. They settled on this vast land thousands of years ago. The first Europeans also started to settle in some of the eastern provinces centuries ago. Today， Canada reflects a vast combination of ethnic backgrounds. About one out of five people in Canada’s population is foreign-born. The major ethnic groups， for example， include the English， Scottish and French， while the minority groups include residents from Singapore and the Pacific Islands.
　　[5]句中主句謂語是crossed； 介詞短語by means of a land bridge from a place now known as Siberia作方式狀語，其中known as Siberia作后置定語，修飾名詞place；who引導非限制性定語從句，修飾主句主語Some of Canada’s earliest settlers；主句賓語是the Bering Strait。
　　This ethnic variety， in turn ， brings about cultural diversity. [6]Should you find yourself in one of these subcultures， languages， cuisine ， architecture， art and music will define your encounter.For example， in Vancouver， a dynamic city with the highest percentage of Chinese Canadians in the country， you can participate in the celebrations of the Chinese New Year， or you may take tea in the Dr Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden. In Montreal， one of the largest French-speaking cities in the world， you can sample the food with a typical French flavor and see the original buildings in the French style of architecture. [7]Finally， if you are looking for something off the beaten track ， you may visit Cape Breton Island in the province of Nova Scotia， where you can dance to fiddle tunes and enjoy the cultures and traditions of Celtic settlers. As you are exposed to diverse cultures， you may feel transported through time and space. [8]Given these cultural differences， it comes as no surprise that Canada has been celebrating Multiculturalism Day since 2002.
　　[6]句中Should置于句首，省略連詞if，構(gòu)成倒裝。
　　[7]句中where引導非限制性定語從句，修飾先行詞Cape Breton Island。
　　[8]句中Given用作介詞，意為“考慮到，鑒于”，相當于considering；it是形式主語，that引導主語從句。
　　From the towering mountain peaks to the depths of the forests to the urban centers， Canada’s geographical wonders， ethnic groups and their cultures make it a unique place to live and visit. Indeed， it has been consistently ranked by the United Nations as one of the best countries to live in， and visitors are always welcome！

加拿大——多元化的國度
　　加拿大如同一朵盛開的花兒，綻放出驚人的美麗與豐富，深受那些喜歡其多元化的人們的青睞。這是一個幅員遼闊、景色宜人的國家，從大西洋綿延至太平洋。它也是世界上最具種族多樣性的國家之一，有著豐富多樣的文化。
　　組成加拿大的十個省份和三個地區(qū)在地理風貌上有很大的差異。太平洋海岸向東聳立著巍峨的落基山脈，這里有高聳的山峰和被冰川與水流侵蝕而成的深谷。古老的冰川緩緩移動，向陸地靠近，種類繁多的野生生物在偏遠的森林中漫步。國家公園的建立使得很多這樣美麗的地方成為供公眾游玩和欣賞的保護區(qū)，如班夫國家公園和賈斯珀國家公園。加拿大真正獨一無二的一處景點是氣勢恢宏的尼亞加拉瀑布，水流從邊緣傾瀉而下，景色壯觀，水聲轟鳴。
　　除了其地理環(huán)境的多樣性，加拿大的許多農(nóng)村地區(qū)和城市中心還體現(xiàn)了其居民的多樣性。加拿大最早期的一些移民被認為是土著民族的祖先，從現(xiàn)稱作西伯利亞的地方經(jīng)由大陸橋穿越白令海峽而來。數(shù)千年前，他們在這片遼闊的土地上定居。數(shù)百年前，第一批歐洲人也開始在加拿大東部的一些省份定居。今天，加拿大反映了各種民族背景的廣泛融合。加拿大人口中大約有五分之一是在外國出生的。例如，主要的族群包括英格蘭人、蘇格蘭人和法國人，而少數(shù)族裔包括來自新加坡和太平洋島嶼的居民。
　　種族多元化相應地導致文化多元化。如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己置身于其中一種亞文化中，那么（它的）語言、飲食、建筑、藝術和音樂都會說明你邂逅的是何種文化。例如，在溫哥華這個活力四射的城市，加拿大華人的比例全國最高，你可以參加中國新年的慶祝活動，也可以到中山公園喝喝茶。在蒙特利爾，世界上最大的講法語的城市之一，你可以品嘗具有典型法式風味的美食，還可以觀賞原汁原味的法式風格建筑。最后，如果你想獨辟蹊徑的話，可以去新斯科舍省的布雷頓角島玩玩。在島上，你可以隨著小提琴的曲調(diào)翩翩起舞，感受凱爾特移民的文化和傳統(tǒng)。當你接觸到不同的文化時，你可能會產(chǎn)生穿越時空之感。考慮到這些文化差異，加拿大自 2002年起就一直在慶祝多元文化日也就不足為奇了。
　　從巍峨山峰到森林深處，再到城市中心，加拿大的地理奇觀、種族群體及其文化使之成為獨特的居住和旅游勝地。的確，加拿大一直被聯(lián)合國列為最宜居的國家之一，一直歡迎游客的到來！

【用法】
（1）句中with water rushing over its edge是“with＋賓語＋賓語補足語”結(jié)構(gòu)，在句中作狀語，可表示原因、伴隨情況等，也可作后置定語。 （2）with復合結(jié)構(gòu)主要有以下幾種情況： with＋名詞/ 　代詞＋

如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己置身于其中一種亞文化中，那么（它的）語言、飲食、建筑、藝術和音樂都會說明你邂逅的是何種文化。
【用法】
（1）句中Should 置于句首，省略連詞if，構(gòu)成倒裝，相當于 If you should find yourself ... （2）虛擬語氣在if非真實條件句中的三種用法： 情況從句謂語動詞主句謂語動詞與現(xiàn)在 事實 相反一般過去時（be的過去式用were）would/should/could/might＋動詞原形與過去 事實 相反過去完成時would/should/could/might＋have＋過去分詞與將來 事實 相反一般過去時（be的過去式用were）； should＋動詞原形； were to＋動詞原形would/should/could/might＋動詞原形虛擬條件句中若含有were、 had或should，可以把if省略，把were， had或should提到句首，構(gòu)成部分倒裝。

Canada — a land of diversity
　　[1]Canada is like a blooming① flower， unfolding② with
breathtaking③ beauty and richness to win the heart of those who enjoy
what it has to offer.[2] It is a broad and beautiful country stretching④
from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. It is also one of the most ethnically
⑤ diverse nations in the world with distinct⑥ cultures.
　　[1]句中動詞-ing短語unfolding ...作伴隨狀語；who引導定語從
句，修飾先行詞those；what引導賓語從句，作動詞enjoy的賓語。
　　[2]句中動詞-ing短語stretching ...作后置定語，修飾名詞
country。
【讀文清障】

⑥distinct adj.截然不同的，有區(qū)別的，不同種類的；清楚的，清晰的

　　In the ten provinces and three territories⑦ which make up⑧
Canada， there is great diversity in geography. [3]To the east of the
Pacific coast rise the grand Rocky Mountains， which are home to high
peaks and deep valleys⑨ carved⑩ by ice and water. Ancient， slow-
moving glaciers hug the land and a huge variety of wildlife wanders the
remote forests.[4]The establishment of national parks makes many of
these beautiful places protected areas for the public to visit and enjoy，
such as Banff and Jasper National Parks.One truly unique scenic spot in
Canada is the mighty Niagara Falls with water rushing over its edge in a
splendid display of sights and sounds.
　　[3]句中表示地點的介詞短語To the east of the Pacific coast作狀
語，置于句首時，主句使用完全倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)；which引導非限制性定語
從句，修飾先行詞Rocky Mountains；過去分詞短語carved by ice and
water作后置定語，修飾名詞valleys。
　　[4]句中makes many of these beautiful places protected areas為
“make＋賓語＋賓語補足語”結(jié)構(gòu)，其中protected作定語，修飾
areas； for the public to visit and enjoy作后置定語，修飾areas。

⑧make up 組成，構(gòu)成

splendid adj.壯麗的，雄偉的；極佳的，非常好的
　　Apart from its geographical diversity， Canada’s many rural
areas and urban centers reflect the diversity of its residents. [5]Some of
Canada’s earliest settlers， who are thought to be ancestors of the
indigenous peoples， crossed the Bering Strait by means of a land
bridge from a place now known as Siberia. They settled on this vast land
thousands of years ago. The first Europeans also started to settle in some
of the eastern provinces centuries ago. Today， Canada reflects a vast
combination of ethnic backgrounds. About one out of five people in
Canada’s population is foreign-born.
The major ethnic groups， for example， include the English， Scottish
and French， while the minority groups include residents from
Singapore and the Pacific Islands.
　　[5]句中主句謂語是crossed； 介詞短語by means of a land bridge
from a place now known as Siberia作方式狀語，其中known as Siberia作
后置定語，修飾名詞place；who引導非限制性定語從句，修飾主句主
語Some of Canada’s earliest settlers；主句賓語是the Bering Strait。
apart from 除了……外（還），此外；除了……外（都），要不是

the Bering Strait 白令海峽
by means of 借助，通過……方式
minority n.少數(shù)民族，少數(shù)群體；少數(shù)，少數(shù)人
　　This ethnic variety， in turn ， brings about cultural diversity.
[6]Should you find yourself in one of these subcultures， languages，
cuisine ， architecture， art and music will define your encounter.For
example， in Vancouver， a dynamic city with the highest percentage of
Chinese Canadians in the country， you can participate in the
celebrations of the Chinese New Year， or you may take tea in the Dr Sun
Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden. In Montreal， one of the largest
French-speaking cities in the world， you can sample the food with a
typical French flavor and see the original buildings in the French style of
architecture.
[7]Finally， if you are looking for something off the beaten track ，
you may visit Cape Breton Island in the province of Nova Scotia， where
you can dance to fiddle tunes and enjoy the cultures and traditions of
Celtic settlers. As you are exposed to diverse cultures， you may feel
transported through time and space. [8]Given these cultural differences，
it comes as no surprise that Canada has been celebrating
Multiculturalism Day since 2002.
　　From the towering mountain peaks to the depths of the forests to the
urban centers， Canada’s geographical wonders， ethnic groups and
their cultures make it a unique place to live and visit. Indeed， it has been
consistently ranked by the United Nations as one of the best countries to
live in， and visitors are always welcome！
　　[6]句中Should置于句首，省略連詞if，構(gòu)成倒裝。
　　[7]句中where引導非限制性定語從句，修飾先行詞Cape Breton
Island。
　　[8]句中Given用作介詞，意為“考慮到，鑒于”，相當于
considering；it是形式主語，that引導主語從句。
in turn 反過來；繼而；轉(zhuǎn)而
bring about 引起，導致
cuisine n.烹飪，風味；飯菜，菜肴
dynamic adj.（事物）有活力的；動態(tài)的，發(fā)展變化的；充滿活力的
participate in 參加，參與
sample vt.嘗，品嘗，體驗；抽樣檢驗 n.樣本，樣品；取樣
off the beaten track 不落俗套，打破常規(guī)；遠離鬧市，偏遠
fiddle n.小提琴
Celtic adj.凱爾特人的，凱爾特語的
come as no surprise 不足為奇，毫不奇怪
depth n.最深處；深（度）；深刻；深厚
【參考譯文】
加拿大——多元化的國度
　　加拿大如同一朵盛開的花兒，綻放出驚人的美麗與豐富，深受那
些喜歡其多元化的人們的青睞。這是一個幅員遼闊、景色宜人的國
家，從大西洋綿延至太平洋。它也是世界上最具種族多樣性的國家之
一，有著豐富多樣的文化。
　　組成加拿大的十個省份和三個地區(qū)在地理風貌上有很大的差異。
太平洋海岸向東聳立著巍峨的落基山脈，這里有高聳的山峰和被冰川
與水流侵蝕而成的深谷。古老的冰川緩緩移動，向陸地靠近，種類繁
多的野生生物在偏遠的森林中漫步。國家公園的建立使得很多這樣美
麗的地方成為供公眾游玩和欣賞的保護區(qū)，如班夫國家公園和賈斯珀
國家公園。加拿大真正獨一無二的一處景點是氣勢恢宏的尼亞加拉瀑
布，水流從邊緣傾瀉而下，景色壯觀，水聲轟鳴。
　　除了其地理環(huán)境的多樣性，加拿大的許多農(nóng)村地區(qū)和城市中心還
體現(xiàn)了其居民的多樣性。加拿大最早期的一些移民被認為是土著民族
的祖先，從現(xiàn)稱作西伯利亞的地方經(jīng)由大陸橋穿越白令海峽而來。數(shù)
千年前，他們在這片遼闊的土地上定居。數(shù)百年前，第一批歐洲人也
開始在加拿大東部的一些省份定居。今天，加拿大反映了各種民族背
景的廣泛融合。加拿大人口中大約有五分之一是在外國出生的。例
如，主要的族群包括英格蘭人、蘇格蘭人和法國人，而少數(shù)族裔包括
來自新加坡和太平洋島嶼的居民。
　　種族多元化相應地導致文化多元化。如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己置身于其中
一種亞文化中，那么（它的）語言、飲食、建筑、藝術和音樂都會說
明你邂逅的是何種文化。例如，在溫哥華這個活力四射的城市，加拿
大華人的比例全國最高，你可以參加中國新年的慶祝活動，也可以到
中山公園喝喝茶。在蒙特利爾，世界上最大的講法語的城市之一，你
可以品嘗具有典型法式風味的美食，還可以觀賞原汁原味的法式風格
建筑。最后，如果你想獨辟蹊徑的話，可以去新斯科舍省的布雷頓角
島玩玩。在島上，你可以隨著小提琴的曲調(diào)翩翩起舞，感受凱爾特移
民的文化和傳統(tǒng)。當你接觸到不同的文化時，你可能會產(chǎn)生穿越時空
之感。
考慮到這些文化差異，加拿大自 2002年起就一直在慶祝多元文化日也
就不足為奇了。
　　從巍峨山峰到森林深處，再到城市中心，加拿大的地理奇觀、種
族群體及其文化使之成為獨特的居住和旅游勝地。的確，加拿大一直
被聯(lián)合國列為最宜居的國家之一，一直歡迎游客的到來！

　　My wife and I had decided on Ireland for our first big family
trip.It’s been about a hundred years since my Irish ancestors left County
Carlow for Canada.I’m so-so on U2 （a famous Irish rock band）.Irish
pubs in Ontario don’t inspire me much.The most “Irish” thing about
me is a ginger beard （姜黃色的胡子） and an occasional drink.My
excitement for this trip was firmly rooted in the opportunity to drive on the
“wrong” side of the road for a couple of weeks.
　　We arrived in Dublin from the overnight flight with our two
kids.After picking up our rental car， we headed west.Wherever we
went， I felt an undeniable sense of closeness with strangers.It wasn’t
just the faces that looked like they were pulled out of my family’s photo
albums.I felt at ease with the conversational shorthand （簡略的表達方
式） here， too and the shared appreciation for a self-deprecating （自嘲
式的） joke.
　　I’ve recently learned the word “anemoia” means nostalgia （懷
舊） for a time or a place you’ve never known.For me， the word
describes the kind of longing I encountered on this trip.I’ve never
experienced a longing to know Ireland or even my family’s history
beyond a couple of generations.But during an hour-long trip to Inishmore
Island， with the North Atlantic waves knocking us about， I felt a desire
to repair the connection to my ancestors.
　　One day on the island， when the rain got worse， we opted for a
tour bus to take us to Dún Aonghasa， a 3，000-year-old stone fort （堡
壘）.As I walked around， I started to feel excited.By the time we
entered the innermost ring of the fort， I was swimming in enthusiasm for
our trip.Dún Aonghasa was full of meaning I couldn’t understand but
sensed was valuable to me.For the first time in my life， I could
personalise something ancient.I felt that I belonged.Yes， Ireland had
many memorable things.But it was a pile of rocks that gave me the
ancestral awakening I needed.

　　When Sebastian “Ted” Hinton was a child， his father， a
Princeton mathematician， built a cubic （立方體的） bamboo grid （網(wǎng)
格） in the family’s backyard to teach Hinton to visualize space in three
dimensions as he moved through the structure.But the kid was more drawn
to climbing and swinging on the bars.Reflecting on this experience years
later， Hinton thought of a variant on his father’s design — a cubic metal
playground frame fashioned like “a kind of forest top through which a
group of children may play in a manner somewhat similar to that of a group
of monkeys”.On 23 October 1923， Hinton was awarded the first of a
series of US patents for his “jungle gym”， and the monkey bars were
born.
　　These days， hardly anyone is aware of the scientific reasoning
behind this playground option.“Climbing is the natural method of
movement which the evolutionary ancestors of humans were designed to
practice，” Hinton argued in his first patent， “and is therefore almost
ideally suited for children.”Research has borne out Hinton’s ideas.In
recent decades， anthropologists （人類學家） have shown that play-
climbing is a universal behavior among young primates （靈長類動
物）.Other researchers have found rich evidence of climbing in the
fossilized bones of human ancestors.
　　Today， Hinton’s invention continues to fuel a debate about
children’s health， because monkey bars result in more injuries than any
other playground structure.Various versions of the device sent half a
million children to US hospital emergency rooms from 2009 to 2014.
　　Young primates have always invited serious injury by play-climbing
and falling.Primatologists view these behaviors as a critical means of fine-
tuning fundamental motor skills.And despite the rise of “ultrasafe”
playgrounds in the 1990s， many developmental psychologists argue that
risky play is essential for healthy growth and development in children，
perhaps because risk-taking helps kids handle their fears， providing a
kind of blueprint for responding effectively to real-life danger.

它的爭議。
5. Why did Hinton’s father build the cubic bamboo grid？（　　）
A. To catch monkeys.
B. For children to play.
C. To encourage Hinton to climb.
D. As a way to teach Hinton science.
解析：　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第一句可知，Hinton的父親搭
建竹制網(wǎng)格是為了教Hinton科學知識。
6. Which of the following can replace the underlined part “borne out” in
Paragraph 2？（　　）
A. confirmed B. challenged
C. launched D. examined
解析：　詞義猜測題。第二段中Hinton的觀點是，攀爬是人類祖
先在進化中練習的一種本能，是非常適合孩童的，后面的研究表
明，嬉戲攀爬是幼年靈長類動物的普遍行為，并在人類祖先的骨骼
化石中發(fā)現(xiàn)了豐富的攀爬證據(jù)。由此可知，研究“證實了
（confirmed）” Hinton的觀點。
7. Why do Hinton’s monkey bars cause a debate？（　　）
A. They involve risky play.
B. They have a complex structure.
C. They are too expensive to build.
D. They cause much trouble for hospitals.
解析：　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的because monkey bars result
in more injuries可知，在攀爬架玩可能導致孩子們受傷。因此，這
是有風險的游戲，這讓攀爬架一直處在爭論之中。
8. What attitude do developmental psychologists tend to have toward
Hinton’s monkey bars？（　　）
A. Critical. B. Indifferent.
C. Favorable. D. Contradictory.
解析：　觀點態(tài)度題。根據(jù)最后一段中的many developmental
psychologists argue that risky play is essential for healthy growth and
development in children可知，很多發(fā)展心理學家認為“有風險的游
戲有利于孩童的健康成長和發(fā)展”。由此可知，他們對攀爬架持支
持的態(tài)度。

　　After talking about it for years， I finally got to visit Puglia in
2021.Not for a week or two but an entire month.I am glad that I married a
half-Italian.
　　A little background， my husband’s father’s family is from
Salento in Puglia and they even have a place to stay there on the beach.I
have heard about this place ever since I got married.I ended up visiting it
six years after being married.
　　Honestly， it wasn’t my first time in Italy.I was in the Trentino
region before but most of the Italians told me that “the real Italy only
starts from the south of Rome”.Anyway， I was all set to have a very
“average” experience in the south of Italy in every sense but I was in for
a surprise.That’s because I have visited a lot of amazing beaches and
islands.Moreover， I have also visited countries that are known for their
amazing food and I thought I’d find Italian food very “plain and
basic”， but I was wrong.I didn’t expect to love it so much.
　　If there’s one country that’s so culturally powerful that everyone
has to experience it at least once， it has got to be Italy.In terms of
culture， family， food， art， architecture and music — they all play an
important part individually and wholly.Italians take pride in their culture.
　　It is hard to describe how it is to experience a new culture.I come
from a country where culture plays a very visible part and I felt something
similar in Italy.Even if you arrive in Italy with a closed mind， over time
the country will win you over because you can’t help but fall in love with
it.

　　 Say you’re on vacation at Niagara Falls.You want to take an
amazing photo that captures （捕捉） the exceptional beauty of the
waterfalls.13.（　　） The thing is ...you’re not a professional
photographer.So， what do you do？ Here are some tips that can step up
your photography game.
　　14. （　　）
　　Before you snap （拍攝） a shot， ask yourself：What are you
trying to document and why？ That may be as simple as saying to
yourself，“I’m going to take a picture of this painting at the museum
because I like the colours.” It can help you focus on what you want to
remember.
　　 Make a shot list.
　　Professional photographers often create“shot lists” — a checklist of
every photo they hope to capture， along with notes on style and
composition — to ensure they get the coverage they need.You can try this
same approach on your vacation.15.（　　）
　　Capture the ordinary.
　　16. （　　） These scenes may not feel impressive enough to
photograph in the moment， but they’re ones you’re likely to want to
remember after your trip is over.The images may be as simple as your dad
napping （打盹） on the plane or your beloved backpack.
　　Study your photos.
　　It can be hard to appreciate your photos in the rush of a trip.17.
（　　） You’ll most likely find some surprises — a glance of a friend
in the background or a dangling （懸掛的） flower from a tree
branch.Keep an eye out for anything that makes you happy.Above all，
what matters is that the photo is meaningful to you.
A. Learn from the professionals.
B. Think before you take a photo.
C. Try to capture moments or objects that may seem“ordinary”.
D. Thus， wait until you’re back home to study your images more
carefully.
E. Tapping into your senses is another way to add dimension to your
pictures.
F. However，you don’t want to take the same photo that everyone else is
taking.
G. Such a list can help figure out your photo goals and identify what
you’re most excited about.

照片的幾個技巧。
13. F　上文指出假設你正在尼亞加拉瀑布度假，你想拍一張令人驚嘆
的照片，捕捉瀑布的非凡之美。下文提到了你并非專業(yè)攝影師，那么
你會怎么做？接下來的幾段介紹了能提高攝影水平的幾個技巧。F項
符合語境，且與上文構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關系。
14. B　通讀該段內(nèi)容可知，該段介紹的技巧是在拍照之前，你可以
問問自己：你想記錄什么？為什么？B項概括了本段主旨，適合作小
標題。
本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了在度假時拍攝優(yōu)質(zhì)
照片的幾個技巧。
15. G　上文說明了專業(yè)攝影師通常會擬訂一個“拍攝清單”，確保
他們能拍到自己想要的內(nèi)容。在度假時，你也可以嘗試一下這個方
法。G項緊承上文，符合語境。G項中的Such a list呼應上文中的shot
lists。
16. C　根據(jù)該段小標題可知，該段介紹的拍照技巧是捕捉普通的事
物，故C項符合語境。C項中的capture和ordinary分別與小標題中的
Capture和ordinary構(gòu)成原詞復現(xiàn)。
17. D　上文說明了在匆忙的旅行中，你可能很難顧得上欣賞你的照
片。下文指出你很可能會發(fā)現(xiàn)一些驚喜，并進行舉例說明。D項符合
語境，與上文構(gòu)成因果關系。D項中的study your images與小標題
Study your photos.相呼應。
