I live in a small town in Yunnan Province，on the historic Tea Horse Road.My family has lived there for many generations.I remember when I was very young，old people told me about the horse caravan(马队) traders who had traveled that path for centuries，carrying tea，silks，etc.
语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从小生活在云南的一个小镇上，2021年5月的某天在面馆遇到了徒步环游世界的慢速旅行者Paul，决定在去往云南家乡的路上陪他走一程，从而重新认识了自己家乡的故事。
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
to markets as far away as India.So，when I first heard that Paul Salopek was going to walk the entire globe on his own two feet without any modern transportation，I was blown away.I couldn’t imagine that there could still be such an unusual person in the world.
It was even more surprising when one day in May of 2021，I found myself meeting Paul at a noodle shop.It was his first time in China.Paul talked to me with great excitement about the history and discovery in my region of China.He spoke of the Shu-Yandu Dao (the Sichuan to India trading route)，the Southern Silk Road，the Tea Horse Road，and the 17th-century Chinese explorer Xu Xiake.Paul considered him a hero and in a sense a Chinese pioneer of slow tourism.
Then I made my biggest decision of 2021：I would accompany Paul for hundreds of miles on his walk toward my home of Yunnan.On September 28,2021，we finally set out.Our days were simple：walk，eat，sleep，and repeat.I ate when I was hungry，walked after I ate，and slept when I got tired.
As I accompanied Paul to walk on ancient paths through great mountains，I seemed to hear the distant sound of horse bells lost in time.Together，we were amazed by the biodiversity(生物多样性) of the Gaoligong Mountains and moved by long-past stories that had happened there.I walked from Yusan village to a lakeside town in Yunnan called Eryuan—just a warm-up trip into China for Paul.But after only 410,000 paces，I reached a real appreciation for my home.
1.How did the author feel when he first heard of Paul’s story
A.Amazed. B.Inspired.
C.Doubtful. D.Uncaring.
√
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“So，when I first heard that Paul Salopek was going to...I was blown away.I couldn’t imagine that there could still be such an unusual person in the world.”可知，作者一开始听到Paul的故事时感到很吃惊。故选A。
解析
2.Which of the following can best describe Paul
A.An advocate of Chinese traditions.
B.A supporter of slow travel experiences.
C.A writer documenting his global journey.
D.A historian specializing in ancient trade routes.
√
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Paul Salopek was going to walk the entire globe on his own two feet without any modern transportation”和第二段中的“Paul considered him a hero and in a sense a Chinese pioneer of slow tourism.”可知，Paul徒步环游世界，不依赖任何现代交通方式，展现了一种慢速旅行方式。他认为17世纪中国的探险家徐霞客是英雄，在某种意义上是中国慢速旅行的开拓者。由此可推断出，Paul是慢速旅行的支持者。故选B。
解析
3.What might the author have gained from his walk
A.Mastery of modern transportation.
B.A deeper connection with his family.
C.Rediscovery of the world around him.
D.Insights into ancient trading practices.
√
推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，作者陪Paul一起翻山越岭走到家乡，路上感受到了高黎贡山的生物多样性，被曾经发生在那里的故事打动，这四十一万步的旅程让作者对自己的家乡充满了深深的赞赏之情。由此可推断出，他可能重新发现了他身边的世界。故选C。
解析
4.What might be the best title for the text
A.Looking for a Way Home
B.Traveling Around Yunnan
C.Exploring the Tea Horse Road
D.Walking with a Modern Explorer
√
标题归纳题。全文主要讲述了作者与现代探险者Paul Salopek一起徒步的经历，以及这次徒步给作者带来的深刻感受。由此可归纳出，D项“Walking with a Modern Explorer(与现代探险者同行)”可以准确地概括作者的经历和文章的主旨，是本文的最佳标题。故选D。
解析
B(此篇精读)
Sharks and their relatives are some of the most threatened vertebrates(脊椎动物) on Earth.Coral reefs(珊瑚礁) provide homes for countless fish species that are vital for fisheries and are therefore an especially important ecosystem for humans—and one where the decline of shark populations seems to be especially acute(剧烈的).
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了研究发现，因为人类活动对珊瑚礁的破坏，礁鲨数量的下降似乎尤为严重，但Simpfendorfer和他的团队也发现了衰退的礁鲨的恢复潜力。
The study by Simpfendorfer with his team is the result of a worldwide cooperation called the Global FinPrint project.The data analyzed include more than 20,000 hours of standardized① underwater video taken at nearly 400 reefs in 67 countries around the world.It reveals declines of 60% to 73% of once-abundant(充足的) coral reef shark species at reefs around the world.
However，the findings of Simpfendorfer with his team include signs of hope and a clear path forward.Their results show that although shark populations in many reefs had declined，some healthy reef shark populations remained.The reefs with healthier shark populations had some important similarities：they tended to be in the waters of high-income countries with stronger natural resource management regulations(规定).A country that lacks the resources to feed its people is less able to sustainably manage and protect its biodiversity.
The most unexpected result of the study is that a decline or complete loss of shark species in one reef was not always associated with similar changes in nearby reefs.They found that one reef can be over fished so badly that a once-common reef shark species is totally gone，but another reef a short distance away can have healthy populations of that same species.It is likely that healthy populations can eventually help repopulate nearby areas.
The problem is clear—animals that provide ecosystem services that are vital for human food security and livelihoods② are disappearing at an alarming rate.The loss of sharks and the ecosystem services they provide represents an ecological disaster that can cause substantial harm to humans.But apparently，the findings have shown a way.If the threats that led to population decline are resolved，then these important and threatened animals may recover.
5.Why is Simpfendorfer with his team mentioned in paragraph 2
A.To stress the result of global cooperation.
B.To state the urgency of protecting the ocean.
C.To show the severe condition of certain sharks.
D.To present the figures of their contributions to sharks.
√
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“It reveals declines of 60% to 73% of once-abundant(充足的) coral reef shark species at reefs around the world.”可知，第二段提到Simpfendorfer和他的团队是为了引出关于珊瑚礁的研究报告，显示某些鲨鱼的严重状况。故选C。
解析
6.Why could healthy reef shark populations remain in some areas
A.Citizens there had a stronger environmental awareness.
B.Science and economics were improving fast in such areas.
C.The waters in these areas were suitable for sharks to live in.
D.These areas took stricter measures to protect natural resources.
√
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The reefs with healthier shark populations had some important similarities：they tended to be in the waters of high-income countries with stronger natural resource management regulations(规定).”可知，由于一些地区采取了更严格的措施来保护自然资源，健康的礁鲨种群仍然存在。故选D。
解析
7.What can be inferred from the text
A.Changes in reefs lead to loss of shark species.
B.Humans and animals co-exist in ecosystem.
C.It’s not clear whether humans cause damage to biodiversity.
D.The declined shark species have nothing to do with overfishing.
√
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The loss of sharks and the ecosystem services they provide represents an ecological disaster that can cause substantial harm to humans.”可知，鲨鱼及其提供的生态系统服务的丧失是一场生态灾难，会对人类造成重大伤害，可得出人类和动物在生态系统中共存。故选B。
解析
8.What’s the text mainly about
A.Acute decline of reef sharks.
B.Potential recovery of reef sharks.
C.Global cooperation of saving sharks.
D.Amazing discovery of coral reefs.
√
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Coral reefs(珊瑚礁) provide homes for countless fish species that are vital for fisheries and are therefore an especially important ecosystem for humans—and one where the decline of shark populations seems to be especially acute(剧烈的).”并结合文章讲述了研究发现，因为人类活动对珊瑚礁的破坏，礁鲨数量的下降似乎尤为严重，但Simpfendorfer和他的团队也发现了衰退的礁鲨的恢复潜力，B项“礁鲨的潜在恢复”能概括文章大意。故选B。

A
I live in a small town in Yunnan Province，on the historic Tea Horse Road.My family has lived there for many generations.I remember when I was very young，old people told me about the horse caravan(马队) traders who had traveled that path for centuries，carrying tea，silks，etc.to markets as far away as India.So，when I first heard that Paul Salopek was going to walk the entire globe on his own two feet without any modern transportation，I was blown away.I couldn’t imagine that there could still be such an unusual person in the world.
It was even more surprising when one day in May of 2021，I found myself meeting Paul at a noodle shop.It was his first time in China.Paul talked to me with great excitement about the history and discovery in my region of China.He spoke of the Shu-Yandu Dao (the Sichuan to India trading route)，the Southern Silk Road，the Tea Horse Road，and the 17th-century Chinese explorer Xu Xiake.Paul considered him a hero and in a sense a Chinese pioneer of slow tourism.
Then I made my biggest decision of 2021：I would accompany Paul for hundreds of miles on his walk toward my home of Yunnan.On September 28,2021，we finally set out.Our days were simple：walk，eat，sleep，and repeat.I ate when I was hungry，walked after I ate，and slept when I got tired.
As I accompanied Paul to walk on ancient paths through great mountains，I seemed to hear the distant sound of horse bells lost in time.Together，we were amazed by the biodiversity(生物多样性) of the Gaoligong Mountains and moved by long-past stories that had happened there.I walked from Yusan village to a lakeside town in Yunnan called Eryuan—just a warm-up trip into China for Paul.But after only 410,000 paces，I reached a real appreciation for my home.
语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从小生活在云南的一个小镇上，2021年5月的某天在面馆遇到了徒步环游世界的慢速旅行者Paul，决定在去往云南家乡的路上陪他走一程，从而重新认识了自己家乡的故事。
1．How did the author feel when he first heard of Paul’s story
A．Amazed. B．Inspired.
C．Doubtful. D．Uncaring.
答案　A
解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“So，when I first heard that Paul Salopek was going to...I was blown away.I couldn’t imagine that there could still be such an unusual person in the world.”可知，作者一开始听到Paul的故事时感到很吃惊。故选A。
2．Which of the following can best describe Paul
A．An advocate of Chinese traditions.
B．A supporter of slow travel experiences.
C．A writer documenting his global journey.
D．A historian specializing in ancient trade routes.
答案　B
解析　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Paul Salopek was going to walk the entire globe on his own two feet without any modern transportation”和第二段中的“Paul considered him a hero and in a sense a Chinese pioneer of slow tourism.”可知，Paul徒步环游世界，不依赖任何现代交通方式，展现了一种慢速旅行方式。他认为17世纪中国的探险家徐霞客是英雄，在某种意义上是中国慢速旅行的开拓者。由此可推断出，Paul是慢速旅行的支持者。故选B。
3．What might the author have gained from his walk
A．Mastery of modern transportation.
B．A deeper connection with his family.
C．Rediscovery of the world around him.
D．Insights into ancient trading practices.
答案　C
解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，作者陪Paul一起翻山越岭走到家乡，路上感受到了高黎贡山的生物多样性，被曾经发生在那里的故事打动，这四十一万步的旅程让作者对自己的家乡充满了深深的赞赏之情。由此可推断出，他可能重新发现了他身边的世界。故选C。
4．What might be the best title for the text
A．Looking for a Way Home
B．Traveling Around Yunnan
C．Exploring the Tea Horse Road
D．Walking with a Modern Explorer
答案　D
解析　标题归纳题。全文主要讲述了作者与现代探险者Paul Salopek一起徒步的经历，以及这次徒步给作者带来的深刻感受。由此可归纳出，D项“Walking with a Modern Explorer(与现代探险者同行)”可以准确地概括作者的经历和文章的主旨，是本文的最佳标题。故选D。
B(此篇精读)
Sharks and their relatives are some of the most threatened vertebrates(脊椎动物) on Earth.Coral reefs(珊瑚礁) provide homes for countless fish species that are vital for fisheries and are therefore an especially important ecosystem for humans—and one where the decline of shark populations seems to be especially acute(剧烈的)．
The study by Simpfendorfer with his team is the result of a worldwide cooperation called the Global FinPrint project.The data analyzed include more than 20,000 hours of standardized① underwater video taken at nearly 400 reefs in 67 countries around the world.It reveals declines of 60% to 73% of once-abundant(充足的) coral reef shark species at reefs around the world.
However，the findings of Simpfendorfer with his team include signs of hope and a clear path forward.Their results show that although shark populations in many reefs had declined，some healthy reef shark populations remained.The reefs with healthier shark populations had some important similarities：they tended to be in the waters of high-income countries with stronger natural resource management regulations(规定)．A country that lacks the resources to feed its people is less able to sustainably manage and protect its biodiversity.
The most unexpected result of the study is that a decline or complete loss of shark species in one reef was not always associated with similar changes in nearby reefs.They found that one reef can be over fished so badly that a once-common reef shark species is totally gone，but another reef a short distance away can have healthy populations of that same species.It is likely that healthy populations can eventually help repopulate nearby areas.
The problem is clear—animals that provide ecosystem services that are vital for human food security and livelihoods② are disappearing at an alarming rate.The loss of sharks and the ecosystem services they provide represents an ecological disaster that can cause substantial harm to humans.But apparently，the findings have shown a way.If the threats that led to population decline are resolved，then these important and threatened animals may recover.
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了研究发现，因为人类活动对珊瑚礁的破坏，礁鲨数量的下降似乎尤为严重，但Simpfendorfer和他的团队也发现了衰退的礁鲨的恢复潜力。
5．Why is Simpfendorfer with his team mentioned in paragraph 2
A．To stress the result of global cooperation.
B．To state the urgency of protecting the ocean.
C．To show the severe condition of certain sharks.
D．To present the figures of their contributions to sharks.
答案　C
解析　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“It reveals declines of 60% to 73% of once-abundant(充足的) coral reef shark species at reefs around the world.”可知，第二段提到Simpfendorfer和他的团队是为了引出关于珊瑚礁的研究报告，显示某些鲨鱼的严重状况。故选C。
6．Why could healthy reef shark populations remain in some areas
A．Citizens there had a stronger environmental awareness.
B．Science and economics were improving fast in such areas.
C．The waters in these areas were suitable for sharks to live in.
D．These areas took stricter measures to protect natural resources.
答案　D
解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中“The reefs with healthier shark populations had some important similarities：they tended to be in the waters of high-income countries with stronger natural resource management regulations(规定)．”可知，由于一些地区采取了更严格的措施来保护自然资源，健康的礁鲨种群仍然存在。故选D。
7．What can be inferred from the text
A．Changes in reefs lead to loss of shark species.
B．Humans and animals co-exist in ecosystem.
C．It’s not clear whether humans cause damage to biodiversity.
D．The declined shark species have nothing to do with overfishing.
答案　B
解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The loss of sharks and the ecosystem services they provide represents an ecological disaster that can cause substantial harm to humans.”可知，鲨鱼及其提供的生态系统服务的丧失是一场生态灾难，会对人类造成重大伤害，可得出人类和动物在生态系统中共存。故选B。
8．What’s the text mainly about
A．Acute decline of reef sharks.
B．Potential recovery of reef sharks.
C．Global cooperation of saving sharks.
D．Amazing discovery of coral reefs.
答案　B
解析　主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Coral reefs(珊瑚礁) provide homes for countless fish species that are vital for fisheries and are therefore an especially important ecosystem for humans—and one where the decline of shark populations seems to be especially acute(剧烈的)．”并结合文章讲述了研究发现，因为人类活动对珊瑚礁的破坏，礁鲨数量的下降似乎尤为严重，但Simpfendorfer和他的团队也发现了衰退的礁鲨的恢复潜力，B项“礁鲨的潜在恢复”能概括文章大意。故选B。
[语境猜词]
①standardized adj.标准化的
②livelihood n．生计
[句式分析]
Coral reefs provide homes for countless fish species that are vital for fisheries and are therefore an especially important ecosystem for humans—and one where the decline of shark populations seems to be especially acute.
分析：此句为复合句。that引导定语从句，species为先行词，that在从句中作主语；where引导定语从句，先行词是one(ecosystem)，where在从句中充当地点状语。
翻译：珊瑚礁为无数的对渔业至关重要的鱼类物种提供了栖息地，因此对人类而言是一个尤为重要的生态系统——而且在这个生态系统中，鲨鱼种群数量的减少似乎格外剧烈。
