mainmeal,typicallyincludingaturkeyorroastbeefaccompaniedbyvarioussidedishes.（在国王或女王的年度圣

诞演讲之后，是吃正餐的时间，通常包括火鸡或烤牛肉以及各种配菜。）”可知，在圣诞节庆祝活动中，英

typicallyattendmidnightMassandthenindulgeinalavishmealbeforeheadingtochurch.（和法国人——样，意大

利人在圣诞节前夕庆祝圣诞节。当地人通常会参加午夜弥撒，然后在去教堂之前享受一顿丰盛的大餐。）”

和Greece部分中“AfterattendinganearlymorningholycommunioninchurchonChristmas,Greeksgohome

foranall-dayeatinggathering.（在圣诞节清晨参加完教堂的圣餐后，希腊人会回家吃上一整天。）”可知，要

体验宗教氛围，最好在意大利和希腊。故选D。

【3题详解】

推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“ThecuisinethatmarksChristmasisasdiverseasthepeople

feastingonit.Here'salookathowthelocalscelebrateChristmasthroughcuisineintheircountries,whichwillgive

youaglimpseofthecelebrations.（庆祝圣诞节美食和享用圣诞大餐的人一样丰富多彩。下面我们来看看当

地人是如何通过美食来庆祝圣诞节的，这将让你对庆祝活动有一个大致的了解。）”可知，这段话可能来自

杂志的节日和传统一栏。故选C。

B

B.Hisbeingbornandraisedthere.

C.Today'shugenumberofthepackages.

D.Thevalueofthedeliveriestothelocals.

【答案】4.C5.A6.A7.D

【解析】

【导语】本文是记叙文。它讲述了一位名叫赵岳芳的邮政工作人员在太行山的危险山路上投递邮件的故

事，通过描述他的工作经历和所面临的挑战，展现了其坚持不懈和奉献精神。

【4题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段“The10-kilometer-longroute,whichisbetween20centimetersand1meterwide,is

knownasthe“catroad“bylocals,meaningthatitissodangerousthatonlycatscouldwalkonit（这条路长10公

里，宽20厘米到1米，被当地人称为“猫路”，意思是这条路非常危险，只有猫才能在上面走）”可知，

因为这条路太窄，风险太大，只有猫才能在上面走，所以被称为“猫路”。故选c项。

【5题详解】

词句猜测题。根据前文“Onedayinthewinterof2003,the"catroad^^wascoveredinthicksnowandheslipped

offthetraiL（2003年冬天的一天，“猫路”被厚厚的积雪覆盖，他滑下了小路）”在结合后文"grabbinga

treebranch（抓住一根树枝）”可知，他滑下了小路，但是他抓住一根树枝，应是阻止了急剧的下降，推知

descent意为“下降”之意，和A项意思相近。故选A项。

【6题详解】

推理判断题。根据第一段"Fornearlytwodecades,athin,sun-burntpostalworkercouldfrequentlybeseen

carryingpackagesalongadangerousmountaintrailintheTaihangMountains.（近二十年来，在太行山的一条危

险的山路上，经常可以看到一
