2021年高考英语新高考I卷七选五真题(含答案+分析)
2021年新高考I卷
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.
You can tell this by cafés 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. |
【答案】36. F 37. C 38. G 39. E 40. A
【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述了作者夫妇两人在巴黎的居住的感受。首先,作者介绍了她住的房子;其次,说明了巴黎人生活非常精致的原因;最后,说明法国人对待生活的态度,相较于工作效率他们更看重生活品质。
【36题】上文“My husband and I just spent a week in Paris.(我丈夫和我刚在巴黎待了一周)”说明了背景;下文“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个非常昂贵公寓,在第六层,只有一个橱柜那么大)”是空格处的结果,因此空格处需要填原因;根据F项“Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians.(我们的目标是看看我们是否在某种程度上可以活的像巴黎人。)”可知,作者要在巴黎住下来,所以需要租房子,两句构成因果关系。故选F项。
【37题】上文“The place wasn’t entirely authentic, though.(不过,这个地方并不是地道的法国住房)”是段落的中心句,说明第二段主要内容是讲解公寓的情况。下文提到了楼宇和电梯的情况。C项“There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.(有一个漂亮的厨房和一张舒适的床)”提到了厨房和床,这些都属于公寓的配置。故选C项。
【38题】上文“… they eat great food and never gain weight.(他们吃得很好,而且从不发胖)”提及了食物。下文“French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.(法国草莓尝起来不像纸板。相反,它们会像小炸弹一样在你嘴里爆炸)”在说明法国的草莓很好吃。上下文结合可知,因为法国的食物质量很高,所以不用吃很多就能很满足,同时吃的少也就不会发胖了。G项“The food is so delicious that you don’t need much of it to make you happy. (食物是如此美味,你不需要吃太多就能使你快乐)”符合语境要求。故选G项。
【39题】第三段主要描述了作者夫妻去了采购了食物,买了草莓。下文“My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!(我丈夫和我都认为这是我们吃过的最好的水果。但它们要18美元!)”说明法国的水果好吃但是也很贵。选项E“That’s not the only reason the French eat less than we do.(这并不是法国人吃得比我们少的唯一原因)”承接了上一段关于法国人吃的少但是不胖的话题,同时引起下文,给出了法国人吃的少的另一个原因‘物价贵’。故选E项。
【40题】根据上文“In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency (效率). You can tell this by cafés life. French cafés are always crowded. (在法国生活质量比效率更重要。这一点你能从咖啡馆生活看出来。法国的咖啡厅总是很拥挤)”可知,上文说明了法国人对待工作不是很积极且咖啡厅里顾客很多。下文“When do these people work?(这些人什么时候工作?)”是一个问句,说明本句属于过渡句,承接上文说明咖啡厅里的造成拥挤的客人的情况,A选项中有“customer”符合咖啡馆的情境设定,同时讲述了不是所有的客人都是游客,那么意味着大部分人都是当地人,符合下文的提问。故选A项。
