新全国卷I-阅读理解七选五

My husband and I just spent a week in Paris. ___36___ So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.

The place wasn’t entirely authentic, though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment,the plumbing (水管) worked. ___37___ Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, “Ouverture des portes,” in perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and it’s a shame I don’t have much use for it.

Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight. ___38___ French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.

___39___ On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!

In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency (效率). You can tell this by café life. French cafés are always crowded. ___40___ When do these people work? The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously—so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with a group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.

A. Not all the customers are tourists.

B. The quality of life in France is equally excellent.

C. There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.

D. The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.

E. That’s not the only reason the French eat less than we do.

F. Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians.

G. The food is so delicious that you don’t need much of it to make you happy.

这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了作者与其丈夫在巴黎租房生活的一段经历。文章从三个方面介绍了法国人生活情况：住房情况、饮食情况和生活方式。

36. F。

【解题思路实录】解答本题的关键是空格后的一句：So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard（所以我们做的第一件事就是租了一套位于六楼的极为昂贵的公寓，大小跟一个橱柜差不多），本句的关键词是 so（所以），它表明so后面内容是表示一种“结果”，根据一般的因果搭配关系可知，它前面的空格处应填一个表示原因的句子，由于英语在习惯上不说Because…so…，所以你不可能在选项中找到一个由because 开头的句子来与后面的so…匹配，我们要找的是一个虽然没有出现because，但确实可以表示原因，且能与后面的so…构成“因果”关系的句子。比较四个选项，只有F最为合适。Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians 的意思是：（因为）我们的目的是要看看我们是否可以在某种程度上像真正的巴黎人一样生活。

37. C。

【解题思路实录】注意空格后面一句：Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, “Ouverture des portes,” in perfect French（我们住的那栋大楼甚至还有一个很小的电梯，电梯里有一个女声用优美的法语说道Ouverture des portes），本句的关键词有两个：一个是 even had（甚至还有），另一个是a female voice（女声）和in perfect French（用优美的法语）。如果单独看第一个关键词 even had 我们不太好判断后面接的是好的方面还是坏的方面，因为“甚至更好”和“甚至更糟”都有可能，但结合后面的 a female voice（女声）和 in perfect French（用优美的法语）就可判断even had 后面接的是“好的方面”，由此我们可以判断，空格处应填一个对公寓的“好的方面”的介绍，这样才能与后面 even had（甚至还有更好的方面）相匹配。在所给选项中，只有C（There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed. 它有一个漂亮的厨房和一张舒适的床）是对公寓的“好的方面”的介绍。

38. G。

【解题思路实录】本段主要讲巴黎人的饮食情况。请注意空格前面一句They eat great food and never gain weight（他们吃得很好，而且从不发胖）以及后面一句French strawberries do not taste like cardboard（法国草莓吃起来并非味同嚼蜡）。由此可见，空格前后均谈的是吃的东西。比较所给选项，其中与食物相关的只有 D 和 G。但选项D的意思The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers（美味的食物主要由当地农民食用）与上文内容不符，所以只能选G。选项 G 的意思：The food is so delicious that you don’t need much of it to make you happy. 食物是非常美味，你不需吃太多就能让你很开心。

39. E。

【解题思路实录】在七选五阅读的设题中，如果所填句子出现在段首，大概率是下面这两种可能：一是承上启下，二是用作主题句。而本题选E，可以说这两者兼而有之。细读空格后面的句子：On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18! 大意是：在我们来到巴黎的第一天早上，我绕过街角去食品市场买些杂货。我买了一把熟透了的小草莓和一个小甜瓜。我和丈夫一致认为它们是我们吃过的最好的水果。但它们花了18美元！——前面两句是在讲所做的具体事情，后者两者则是作者的评论。重点是后面两句评论，尤其注意其中的but（但是）和句末的感叹号，这表明在作者看来，这里的物价太高，东西太贵，仅仅“一把小草莓”和“一个小甜瓜”（虽然很好吃），但花了18美元！再联系前面有一句：They eat great food and never gain weight.这里的 great food 并不是指食物很丰盛，而是指食物很棒（很好吃，很美味）——食物虽然很美味，但吃了不发胖，原因为是吃得不多，吃得少。而本段又得出结论东西很贵，所以这也是导致他们吃得少的另一个原因。比较所给选项，E符合此处的语境。

40. A。

【解题思路实录】七选五阅读的最后一题通常是可以用排除法来做。在七个选项中，前面已选了四个，现在还剩三个：

A. Not all the customers are tourists.

B. The quality of life in France is equally excellent.

D. The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.

看空格后面一句：When do these people work?（这些人什么时候工作呢？），这里的 these people 显然是指上句提到的人，而是所剩的三个选项中，只有A涉及到“人”。现在把空格所填的A与它前面和后面的句子连起来读一下：French cafés are always crowded. Not all the customers are tourists. When do these people work? ——非常通顺，意思是：法国咖啡馆总是人满为患。并非所有的顾客都是游客。这些人什么时候上班？
