Test 26

　　Ⅰ.閱讀理解

　　A

　　As a boy growing up in India，I had longed to travel abroad.I used to listen to the stories my father would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s’ with great interest.

　　My big moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when I was able to accompany my parents to Europe，where my father was to attend a meeting.We planned to travel to Belgium，Netherlands and West Germany.

　　I have vivid memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroad.I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them first hand during the flight to Frankfurt.We flew business class and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew.The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable，even for someone like me，who is otherwise scared of flying.

　　After spending almost two weeks in Europe，we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport for our return flight.What a journey that was! All along the Rhine(萊茵河)，it was simply an unforgettable experience.I was in a sombre mood on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation，but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again，with the quality of their service.

　　Being the first airline to take me overseas，Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart.Even today，I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline.Flying，in general，for me，has always been an ordeal (terrible and painful experience)．Flying on Lufthansa，however，is something I always have and always will look forward to.

　　If you have ever been rock climbing，you will know that it is not a very easy sport.In fact，you probably felt quite defeated when you first tried to do any serious climbing.Indoor and outdoor rock climbing are both extremely demanding and require practice to get good at.It is one of the most physically and mentally demanding sports.

　　There are three basic types of rock climbing.Top roping is the most common type and the climber need to climb with a partner.The second type，which is very similar to top roping，is called lead climbing.In both of the types，the climber can sit off the wall and rest on the rope.The third type is called bouldering.Bouldering is a type of free climbing without any ropes.This is the most demanding of all climbing types.The climber must be able to complete the climbing without taking a rest on the rope.

　　Believe it or not，climbing is said to be about 75% legs and only 25% arms.To climb efficiently and successfully，a person needs to have a wonderful technique.One of the major rules of rock climbing is to always have three points touching the wall，whether it is both feet and one hand，or one foot and both hands，as it is much easier to have your weight rest on three points than on two.Another important idea to grasp is that your arms in most cases will not do the climbing; they only hold you into the wall so that your legs are actually pushing you upward.Also，the closer you are to the wall，the easier it is to climb.

　　Rock climbing may sound a bit too extreme for the everyday person，but it is really an amazing workout.Once you get into the sport，and learn how to position your body and rest your weight，then you can begin to deal with some difficult problems.The great thing about rock climbing is that it is mentally challenging as well.You are constantly analyzing the way your body moves and how to do certain moves on the wall.For anyone who wants to get into shape，rock climbing is a fun and effective way to exercise muscles.

　　如何做社會文化類的閱讀理解題

　　社會文化包括經濟、政治、文化、科學等各種題材，是高考英語閱讀理解的熱點題材。

　　它以中西文化差異作為選材的重點，比如禮儀、語言、價值觀、生活習慣等為主題。題材涉及社會、文化、教育、體育等方面的內容。一般一篇文章一個主題，以議論文和記敘文為主。命題方面，既重主旨把握，又重

　　特定細節、推理判斷，如A篇第4題就屬于推理判斷題，從第三段中的today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew和第四段中的but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again就可確定正確答案。從近年的高考題看，閱讀內容的社會實用性越來越強，更重視語言和文化的關系，閱讀材料會更多地涉及社會化背景知識。因此，要通過閱讀更多地涉及社會文化背景知識，更多地了解并豐富自己的知識。

　　對英語語言、社會、文化的了解是一個長期的過程，在復習時要注意：

　　1．重視英語詞匯、語法和習慣用法的掌握。

　　在復習過程加強對語言基礎知識的掌握。對于普通中學畢業生來說，應具備2000－3500的詞匯量，并掌握其詞類、意思和基本用法。掌握句子結構和句子成分之間的關系。熟悉固定詞組、固定搭配等約定俗成的語法項目。

　　2．擴展文化背景知識，認真研讀歷年高考題。從2011高考題看，閱讀內容的社會實用性越來越強，更重視語言和文化的關系，閱讀材料會更多地涉及社會化背景知識。因此，要通過閱讀更多地涉及社會文化背景知識，要通過閱讀更多地了解并豐富自己的知識。同時，要認真研讀近五年的高考題目，增加語言經驗，適應選材特點，熟悉題材和體裁，了解設問形式，感悟設問特點。

　　3．廣泛涉獵，豐富消遣閱讀。
