B．Complain.C．Tolerate. D．Avoid.D[考查詞義猜測。第二段第一句談到在工業(yè)革命早期，休閑園很風(fēng)行，再結(jié)合畫線詞后面的“thedullurbanlifeforashortwhile”可推知，休閑園給那時的人們提供了短暫地躲避枯燥的城市生活的機會。故畫線詞與D項的含義最為接近。]7．Whatmadetheamusementparksfullydeveloped?A．TheIndustrialRevolution.B．Advancesintechnology.C．Moretimeandmoneyforfun.D．Economicandindustrialsuccess.C[考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段的“Thegoldenageinthebriefhistoryofamusementparksdidn'tappearuntilpeopleespeciallyAmericansspentlesstimeonworkandgotasteadyriseintheirpersonalincome”可知，直到人們花更少的時間在工作上，而且個人收入得到穩(wěn)定的增加時，游樂園的黃金時代(goldenage)才得以出現(xiàn)；結(jié)合下文的“Anumberofamusementparks...tomakefulluseofthisneweconomicopportunity”可知，這時在城市外和鄉(xiāng)村，人們建了很多的游樂園。由此可推知，休閑時間的增多和收入的提高促進(jìn)了游樂園的巨大發(fā)展，使其達(dá)到了鼎盛時期。]8．Howdoesthewritermainlydevelopthetext?A．Bycomparingamusementparks.B．Byprovidingexamples.C．Bydescribinghistoricalevents.D．Bycommentingonevents.B[考查寫作手法。綜合可知，本文作者是通過從促進(jìn)游樂園發(fā)展的不同方面入手并給出相關(guān)例子來行文的，故選B。]Ⅱ.七選五(2021·武漢市部分學(xué)校高三起點質(zhì)量檢測)Sooftenwefindourselvesonautopilot—wakingupinthesamehome，puttingonthesameclothesandtakingthesametransportationtothesameoldjob.__1__Andwhileit'sperfectlynaturalforhumanstosticktoroutine，there'smuchtobediscoveredbeyondthelimitsofourcomfortzones.Thereisnoexceptiontoamanaged53.__2__Heknewitwasgoingtobehardtofindanotherjob.Healsoknewitwasnowornevertopursuehislifelongdreamofowninghisownrestaurant.Buthewastoooldtocompetewiththeyoungandtooweaktodoanylaborwork.__3__Hedidn'twanttospendhisrestlifesittingaroundandfeelingpityforhimself.Also，Mrs.Mockenhauptactivelyencouragedhimtomoveon，consideringitaperfectchancefortwoofthemtostarttheirownbusinesswithplentyoftimeandwithoutthedisturbanceofchildren.__4__Brianfoundjustwhathewantedeightblocksfromhome—anexistingcafethatwasunderperformingandwhoseownerwashighlymotivatedtogetoutofhislease(租約).__5__Buttheproblemwasthathehadneverfinanciallyplannedforthisday.Hehadtoborrowmoneyfromfriendsandrelatives.Afterthat，hechangedthenametoBlackDogCoffee，andmadeitalive.Eighteenyearslater，they'restillthereanddoingbetterthanever.Briansayshe'sextremelygratefulforthedecisiontomakeachange.A．Thencametheopportunity.B．Thethoughtfilledhimwithanxiety.C．ThatwasexactlywhatBrianneeded.D．EvenourNewYear'sdecisionstochangehardlymakeit.E．Withthesupportofhisfamily，hetookajobinthelocalcafe.F．Severalweeksafterconsideration，hedecidedtohaveachange.G．BrianMockenhauptgotlaidofffromaseniormanagementposition.語篇解讀本文是一篇記敘文。主要介紹了失業(yè)的Brian在太太的鼓勵和支持下，創(chuàng)辦了自己的咖啡店，實現(xiàn)了自己的夢想。1．D[考查上下文銜接。根據(jù)空前的“我們每天都在同一個家醒來，穿上同樣的衣服，乘坐同樣的交通工具去做同樣的工作”可知，我們的生活總是一成不變；而空后一句“雖然人類堅持常規(guī)是非常自然的，但在我們的舒適區(qū)之外，還有很多東西等著我們?nèi)グl(fā)現(xiàn)”則講到了人們可以做出改變，因此空處講到的應(yīng)該是做出改變有多難，故D項符合語境。]2．G[考查上下文銜接。根據(jù)空后一句“他知道很難再找到一份工作”可知，空處講到的應(yīng)該是他失業(yè)了，所以G項符合語境。]3．F[考查上下文銜接。空前一段講到了Brian失業(yè)之后失落的狀態(tài)，空后則講到了他不愿無所事事，他的太太也鼓勵他努力向前，所以F項“經(jīng)過考慮，幾周后他決定做出改變”符合語境。]4．A[考查上下文銜接。上文講到了Brian的太太鼓勵他創(chuàng)造屬于自己的事業(yè)，而空后一句則講到了Brian在離家八個街區(qū)遠(yuǎn)的地方找到了他想要的東西——一個現(xiàn)成的咖啡館，據(jù)此可知，空處講到的應(yīng)該是做出改變的機會來了，故A項符合語境。]5．C[考查上下文銜接。空前一句講到了一個現(xiàn)成的咖啡館表現(xiàn)不佳，老板也不愿意再干了，空后一句則講到了但是他沒有足夠的錢面對這一天，所以空處講到的應(yīng)該是面前這個機會就是他想要的，故C項符合語境。]Ⅲ.應(yīng)用文寫作(20
