　　(2024·安康模擬)

　　It is not so long ago that the extended family lived under the same roof. Children grew up knowing their cousins, aunts and uncles, grandparents, and other relatives. These children felt connected.

　　In these not-too-long-ago times people were connected to their food. Most people grew their own vegetables and fruit. Many families had a house cow for milk, cheese, butter and cream. Most families also had meat animals. When visitors came unexpectedly, dad would be sent out back to kill the chook(雞)for dinner. Everyone was involved in cooking and mealtimes were a social event. When the meal ended most of the family were involved in cleaning up and washing up. How different is the situation today?

　　The fast life is all around us—fast food, fast cars, fast conversations, fast families, fast holidays. Our fast paced life has weakened these connections. We have been fooled into thinking we need to, or even must, be fast and have what the“fast life”gives us. Stress is leading to many new health problems.

　　The solution is the Slow Movement. It aims to deal with the problem of“time poverty”through making connections. It supports a growing cultural shift towards slowing down. It has spread to more than sixty countries and become a worldwide movement.

　　The Slow Movement tells us that we need to slow down and connect with our life. We need connection to people—ourselves, our family, our community, our friends—to food, to places(where we live), and to life.

　　By being part of the Slow Movement, many people have known how they lost connection to most aspects of their life and to the natural world and rhythms(節奏)around them. And more importantly, they have reconnected—they have lived a new connected lifestyle. (301W)

　　1. If we are connected to our food, we　.

　　A. eat each meal slowly

　　B. buy our food by ourselves

　　C. prepare and cook our food by ourselves

　　D. enjoy our mealtimes with other family members

　　2. According to the text, which group of the following words can be used to describe today’s life?

　　A. Fast, busy, stressful.

　　B. Rich, disconnected, comfortable.

　　C. Healthy, busy, disconnected.

　　D. Convenient, relaxing, fast.

　　3. According to the author, many people have　.

　　A. got used to fast life

　　B. benefited from fast life

　　C. had diseases caused by fast food

　　D. had unwise opinions about fast life

　　4. What’s the purpose of the text?

　　【變式備選】

　　She has been　over his strange letter for several weeks, but she still figures out nothing about it.

　　A. puzzling B. worried

　　C. troubled

　　D. anxious

　　【解析】選A。句意: 她對他那封奇怪的信苦苦思索了好幾周, 可還是沒弄明白。puzzle over. . . 意為“對……苦苦思索”。

　　2.【解析】選B。考查短語辨析。句意: 在我有大麻煩的時候, 你怎么可以袖手旁觀, 什么都不做呢?stand for代表, 主張; stand by堅持某種說法, 袖手旁觀, 支持; stand out突出, 顯眼, 杰出; stand up站立, 起立。故選B。

　　4.【解析】選C。考查非謂語動詞作定語。句意: 我們希望正在進行的建筑項目盡快完成, 因為很多市民在抱怨噪音。根據句意和句子結構可知此處being carried out作定語修飾the building project。因為carry out(執行)和被修飾詞之間是被動關系, 且強調動作正在進行, 所以用動詞-ing形式的被動式。

　　5.【解析】選C。考查固定搭配。句意: 在很多方面, 世界上的東西都有著差異。differ from為固定搭配, 意思是“與……不同”。

　　6.【解析】選B。句意: 與初來乍到者不同, 對那些在這兒工作多年的員工將予以優待。preference偏愛。respect尊重; consideration考慮; advantage優勢。

　　10.【解析】選A。考查引導定語從句的關系代詞。句意: 我們期待了多年的那個精彩的時刻終于到來了。代替指時間的先行詞moment, 且在從句中作動詞expect的賓語, 引導一個非限制性定語從句, 所以用which。

　　11.【解析】選D。考查動詞辨析。句意: 一個給畢業生的有價值的建議就是在面試中第一印象相當重要。count有價值; apply申請, 應用; function發揮作用; award授予。

　　12.【解析】選D。考查關系詞的選擇。句意: 直到媽媽答應帶她去她最喜歡的肯德基, 那個被寵壞的女孩才停止哭泣。根據句子結構可知, 第一空為非限制性定語從句, 先行詞為KFC, 故排除A、C。第二空為強調句, it was. . . that. . . 。

　　13.【解析】選C。考查動詞短語辨析。句意: 自從第一張唱片發布以后, 他的歌唱事業開始騰飛了。take off(事業的)騰飛。take up開始從事; take away帶走, 拿走; take on呈現。

　　2.【解析】選A。考查動詞辨析。deal with表示“對付”; help with幫助某人做……; talk with和……交談; meet with遇到, 經受。

　　3.【解析】選B。考查語境化選詞。顧客抱怨他們就座的位置。seat是使役動詞, 表示“使坐下”, be seated意為“坐下, 就座”; sit是不及物動詞, 應為where they sit。

　　4.【解析】選D。考查動詞。諸如此類的小事容易造成我們雇員的煩惱。annoy表示“使生氣”。因為作者前面提到了顧客的種種抱怨, 因此只能導致雇員的煩惱、生氣。attract吸引; avoid避免; adjust調整。
