【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文，文章介绍了四个英国城堡。
1. B【解析】考查对细节信息的识别、理解和归纳能力。根据题干中的“Sudeley Castle”可将答案定位在对第一个城堡的介绍中，结合文中的“It was once home to Queen Katherine Parr, the last wife of King Henry VII. Queen Anne Boleyn, Lady Jane Grey and Queen Elizabeth I have all lived at or visited Sudeley”可知，Sudeley Castle曾经是Queen Katherine Parr的居住地，而且Queen Anne Boleyn, Lady Jane Grey和Queen Elizabeth I都曾在Sudeley Castle居住或者参观过。由此可知Sudeley Castle与王室有很强的联系，故选B。
2. A【解析】考查考生识别和理解具体信息的能力。根据题干将答案定位在第三个城堡的介绍中，结合文中信息“Want to e and tour the Second World War tunnels(隧道) from which Winston Churchill surveyed the Channel? Here, too”可知，在 Dover Castle里人们可以看到并游览二战时的隧道，丘吉尔勘测英吉利海峡时使用过这些隧道，也就是说人们可以穿过战时的隧道，故选A。
3. D【解析】考查考生识别和理解具体信息的能力。根据第四个城堡的介绍中的“a century
later its famous springtime garden began with plant hunters’ specimens(样品) from China and now contains, among other things, 600 trees with purple flowers”可知，Caerhays Castle 里有一个著名的花园，花园里有从中国采集的植物样本，现在这个花园有600棵开着紫色花的树，由此可推知，对植物学感兴趣的游客最可能去Caerhays Castle，故选D。
B篇
When the news came that my mother was hospitalized for a heart attack, I was in Peru on a hiking(徒步旅行) trip. That evening, before I could board the plane to Italy, I was informed that she had pasd away. Sadness and the feeling of not being there for my mother when she needed me most broke all excus I’d made up to stay away trying to make it as a “travel writer”. There wasn’t much I could do to stop that urge to denounce mylf.
My mother Tundra stayed in her northern Italian world most of her life, where I always stood out as a freak(怪人) and the one doing worthless silly things. But my stories from distant places aroud her curiosity and brought her comfort. To her, I was a courageous
adventurer, and her words towards my achievements which are insignificant now pushed me forward on that unconventional path.
After handling my mother’s affairs in Italy, I decided to leave for Penang Island, one of the most visited places in Penang, Malaysia. With all the international travel I’d done, in truth I’d always treated it more like a stop for necessary and urgent breaks, rather than a proper destination. Yet then, I misd its atmosphere that made me feel at home somehow.
Returning there, I reconnected with backwoods by going on hikes. It was hard to put my feelings into words, but the rainforest held something uniquely comforting. This experience was similar to stepping into an ancient, purer world that made one consider human nature and problems. Besides, the sound of strange incts was almost like a language, whispering to me that I should let go of the past, and only focus on current life. Like an oil leak, that suffering fell out of me and into every footprint left. 18 months passing, I look back on the time spent in the natural world and timeless environment, knowing I’ve pulled through.
