Passage 1
（2024·全国·高考真题）Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help?
Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and
communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. 1
Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world. Here are some tips on making
wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.
●Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online
posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape,
culture or food deeply draws you. 2
●Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though
overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it’s actually concentrated to a small number of
extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. 3 Why not try a
regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights?
● 4 Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You’ll compete
with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism
is traditionally slower.
Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege (荣幸). Do your part to preserve what makes a destination
special in the first place. 5 You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there.
A．Visit during off-peak times.
B．So, should we stop traveling?
C．Travel for you and no one else.
D．Can overtourism be avoided then?
E．You can still find relatively undiscovered places.
F．You’ll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it.
G．Consider giving back to the communities you’re visiting.
【答案】1．B 2．C 3．E 4．A 5．G

容易让你觉得你错过了。只有当风景、文化或食物深深吸引你时，才去某个地方)”表明不要跟风旅游，C
选项“为你而不是其他人旅行”表明要关注自己在旅行时的感受，忠实自己的感受，不用管其余的建议，
符合语境。故选C。

择)及后文“Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights?( 为什么

hour.(通过跳过重大节假日或高峰时间来最小化影响并最大化体验)”表示旅游时要注意避开高峰期，选择合

5．前文“Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place.(尽你的一份力，从一开始
就保护一个目的地的特别之处)”表明旅游时应保护旅游景点，后文“You may be amazed how much closer
you’ll feel to the people there.(你可能会惊讶地发现你和那里的人感觉如此亲近)”表示这样做的感受，G选项

Passage 7
（2024·广东深圳·一模）Art comes in two main categories: realistic and abstract. Realistic art aims to showreal-life scenes, people, and objects exactly as they appear. It involves paying close attention to details, making
things look like photographs. 31 . It’s more about expressing feelings, emotions, and ideas.
Realistic art is easy to understand. Viewers can easily recognize what is portrayed. Take the Mona Lisa, for
example—it’s a realistic painting of a lady with a mysterious smile. 32 , helping us to learn about the past.
Unlike realistic art, abstract art is more about being creative. 33 . They use shapes, colors and
patterns to express feelings and ideas. Abstract art means different things to different people. Some people enjoy
trying to figure out what the artwork conveys.
34 . Realistic art needs precision in drawing or sculpting to make things look real. Abstract art
requires imagination to use shapes and colors in new ways. Many artists are skilled in both. They create realistic
pieces to demonstrate their technical skills and abstract ones to display their creativity.
As for personal preference, some people prefer the clear stories of realistic art while others are attracted to
the mystery of abstract art, interpreting meanings in the shapes and forms. Together, the two kinds of art make the
art world diverse and engaging. 35 .
A．Both types of art take skills to make
B．Photographs preserve faces of folks from long ago
C．Grasping abstract art demands more artistic training
D．Both ways of creating art have their own value and beauty
E．In contrast, abstract art focuses less on realistic appearances
F．Artworks like this tell stories about history and everyday life
G．Artists have the freedom to go beyond real-life representations
【答案】31．E 32．F 33．G 34．A 35．D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要以两种艺术：现实主义艺术和抽象艺术为主题。讲述了各自的特点，
在表现形式方面的各自特点形成了艺术世界的多样性和美的价值。
31．根据后文“It’s more about expressing feelings, emotions, and ideas.(它更多的是表达感觉、情感和想
法。)”并结合常识可知，该句的主题是抽象艺术，因此可推知，设空句的主题也应是抽象艺术，以衔接呼
应后文的“It”。选项E“In contrast, abstract art focuses less on realistic appearances(相比之下，抽象艺术较少
关注现实的外观)”提出了主题“抽象艺术”，呼应“It”，同时“In contrast”可与前文构成对比关系，前后
衔接紧密。故选E项。
32．根据前文“Take the Mona Lisa, for example—it’s a realistic painting of a lady with a mysterious smile.(以《蒙娜丽莎》为例，这是一幅现实主义画，画的是一位带着神秘微笑的女士。)”可知，设空句应对这个
《蒙娜丽莎》的举例进行总结，并体现现实主义艺术的特点。选项F“Artworks like this tell stories about
history and everyday life(像这样的艺术品讲述了历史和日常生活的故事)”中“Artworks like this”指代前文的

Passage 8
（2024·广东佛山·二模）An essential writing skill is the ability to use plain language effectively to convey
ideas clearly. Plain language involves using direct and accessible language with a straightforward structure. To write
in plain language, it is important to follow certain guidelines.
1 The only details necessary are those necessary for understanding. For example, the sign “Wait
behind the yellow line,” at a train platform includes “yellow” so travelers know where to stand.
Plain language avoids using vocabulary that requires specialized knowledge. If you work in IT, you can
comfortably use the word “latency” with your colleagues. 2 But when speaking with someone without
an IT background, you might instead use “slow” to ensure that they know what you’re talking about.Plain language is more than word choices, though. It also involves structuring writing to prioritize clarity.
3 For example, use clear headers for each section. Mention the topic early in a sentence or paragraph. Write
directly to your reader. 4 Additionally, use the active voice whenever possible to enhance clarity.
It is important to note that not every guideline for plain writing will apply to every piece of writing. The
ultimate goal is to create contents that are accessible and easily understood. By using plain language, you demonstrate
respect for your readers’ time and intelligence. 5
A．That is because they know what it means.
B．This can be achieved in the following ways.
C．Thus, it develops positive relationships with them.
D．In many cases, this means writing in the second person point of view.
E．One key aspect of plain writing is ensuring sentences are as short as possible.
F．This can be especially important for those who speak English as a second language.
G．Plain language reduces the risk of misunderstandings caused by confusing language choices.
【答案】1．E 2．A 3．B 4．D 5．C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了使用通俗易懂的语言写作时需要遵循一些通用的指导原则。
1．根据下文“The only details they include are those necessary for the reader to understand the sentences’
meaning. For example, the sign “Wait behind the yellow line,” at a train platform includes “yellow” so travelers
know where to stand.（它们只包括那些读者理解句子意义所必需的细节。例如，火车站台上，“请在黄线
后面等候”这句话包含了“黄色”，这样旅客就知道应该站在哪里。）”可知，写作时只包括那些读者理
解句子意义所必需的细节。火车站台的例子表明内容要简短。结合选项E项One key aspect of plain writing is
ensuring sentences are as short as possible.（简洁写作的一个关键方面是确保句子尽可能短。），和下文内
容意思一致，紧密连接，符合语境。故选E项。
2．根据上文“If you work in IT, you can comfortably use the word “latency” with your colleagues.（如果您从事
IT工作，那么您可以轻松地与同事使用“latency”这个词。）”提到您可以轻松地与同事使用“latency”这
个词，以及下文“But when speaking with someone without an IT background, you might instead use “slow” to
ensure that they know what you’re talking about.（但是当你和一个没有IT背景的人说话时，你可以用“slow”
来确保他们知道你在说什么。）”可推测，空处谈论的是和同事们说话用词的问题，不同背景应该使用不
同的词汇。结合选项A项That is because they know what it means.（那是因为他们知道这意味着什么。）可
知，A项中的they指代的时候上文中的colleagues，这也与下文中的they指导内容一致，起到上下文的承上启下作用。故选A项。
3．根据上文“Plain language is more than word choices, though. It also involves structuring writing to prioritize
clarity.（然而，简单的语言不仅仅是词语的选择。它还包括组织写作，优先考虑清晰。）”提到简单的语
言不仅仅是词语的选择，还包括其它东西，以及下文“For example, use clear headers for each
section. Mention the topic early in a sentence or paragraph. Write directly to your read.（例如，每个部分使用
清晰的标题。在句子或段落的开头尽早提及主题。直接写给读者。）”可知，上文强调组织写作，优先考
虑清晰，下文给出了具体的做法。结合选项B项This can be achieved in the following ways.（这可以通过以下
方式实现。）可知，This指代的是“It also involves structuring writing to prioritize clarity.”，“in the following
ways”呼应的是下“文For example, use clear headers for each section. Mention the topic early in a sentence or
paragraph. Write directly to your read.”，起到上下文的承上启下作用，符合语境。故选B项。
4．根据上文 “Write directly to your read. （直接写给读者。）”，再结合D项“In many cases, this means
writing in the second person point of view.（在很多情况下，这意味着要运用第二人称来写作）”可知，this
指代的是“直接写给读者”这一方法，运用第二人称来写作呼应“直接写给读者”这一语意，故选D项。
5．根据上文“By using plain language, you demonstrate respect for your readers’ time and intelligence.（通过
使用通俗易懂的语言，你表现出对读者时间和智慧的尊重。）”提到通过使用通俗易懂的语言的好处。结
合选项C项“Thus, it develops positive relationships with them.（因此，它与他们发展了积极的关系。）”中
them，指代的是上文的readers，且和上文内容意思相关，同样介绍其好处，上下文紧密连接，符合语境。
故选C项。
