语篇导读
本文为记叙文， 讲述了作者从不喜欢露营到喜欢露营的转变过程。
1．解析 D 转折关系。根据上文内容可知， 三年前作者认为露营和自己无关， 而下文中又热爱露营， 暗示此处作者对待露营的情感态度应该出现转变。D项中的however就起到了很好的转折作用。其次， 第一句暗示作者态度的转变就在三年前， D项中的since then(自从那时候起)和上文时间吻合， 故选D项。
2．解析 C 顺承关系。根据空处下一句可知， 作者第一次露营条件很艰苦， C项中的rough暗示了这一点， 符合语境， 故选C项。
3．解析 A 递进关系。根据第二段第三句可知， 作者第一次露营时住帐篷， 露天生火做饭， 走很远的距离去洗澡上厕所， 条件很艰苦。而空处下一句说明作者第二次露营有床， 有空调。A项暗示作者进行了第二次露营， 而且条件比较好， 符合语境， 故选A项。
4．解析 F 顺承关系。根据空后的内容可知， 作者一家为了露营买了房车， 里面设备齐全。既然花了这么大精力， 说明作者一家人是喜欢露营的。F项符合语境， 故选F项。
5．解析 E 总分关系。根据空后的内容可知， 作者希望每个人都能找到适合自己的回归自然的方法， 而根据上文可知， 作者回归自然的方式就是露营。E项既是对第一段中作者态度转变的一个总结， 也很好地衔接了下文， 故选E项。

语篇导读
本文为夹叙夹议文。Marco Polo在17岁时就随父亲和叔叔来到中国， 看到了中国当时的发展情况。七百多年后的今天， 中国以其快速的发展和在世界上日益重要的地位吸引了更多人。
1．off/out 考查副词。句意：这三个人踏上了一条可能连最雄心勃勃的旅行者都害怕的道路。set off/out启程；出发， 为固定搭配。
2．travelled/traveled 考查时态。根据第一段第一句中的时间状语More than 700 years ago可知， 此处讲述的事情发生在七百多年前， 故用一般过去时。
3．to record 考查非谓语动词。句意：一路上， 他停下来详细记录当地的风俗、地理和人们的价值观， 以便向可汗汇报。根据语境可知， 空处表示停下来的目的， 故用动词不定式作目的状语。stop to do sth停下来做某事。
4．countless 考查语义和词性转换。根据语境可知， 他从东方带回了无数的珍宝， 一夜之间成了富翁。空处作定语修饰名词treasures, 故用形容词形式， 再根据语义可知， 应填countless, 表示“数不尽的”。
5．a 考查冠词。此处泛指“一位富翁”， 且wealthy的发音以辅音音素开头， 故用不定冠词a。
6．What 考查连词。分析该句结构可知， 空处引导主语从句， 并在从句中作及物动词witnessed的宾语， 故用What引导该主语从句。
误解分析：what与that引导名词性从句的区别：that引导名词性从句时只起连接作用， 在从句中不作任何成分， 且无意义， 在宾语从句中通常省略， 但在主语从句、表语从句和同位语从句中通常不能省略；what除引导从句外， 还在从句中作成分， 意为“所……的(东西)”。
7．vividly 考查词性转换。空处作状语修饰形容词written, 故用副词形式。 8．was thought 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。which指代主语The Travels of Marco
Polo, 为单数形式， 故从句谓语应用单数；且该主语和动词think之间为动宾关系， 故用
被动语态；再根据上文时态可知， 应用一般过去时。
9．following 考查非谓语动词。a Westerner和动词follow之间是主谓关系， 且空处作后置定语， 故用现在分词形式。
10．development 考查词性转换。空前的形容词rapid作定语修饰空处， 且空处与下文中的importance并列， 故用名词形式。
