五、阅读理解
Brad daydreamed through History class. At night, he found himself stuck when doing his homework. He thought of his Sight Pro, the smart glasses, and put them on.
"Teach me about the Grand Canal." Then, the instructions took the boy on a journey along the canal. He started in Hangzhou and was slowly travelling up north towards Yangzhou.
He was taking in the fantastic views when Sight Pro suddenly said, " $ \star $ "
"Are you giving me a test? Hmm, bring it on." A question appeared before his eyes: "What is the length of the Grand Canal? Is it more than 1,000 kilometres or 2,000 kilometres?"
"I'll go for 1,000 kilometres." It took Brad two seconds to decide. "Wrong answer. It's more than 2,000 kilometres of man-made waterways. It's the longest in the world."
Then came the next question: "When did the building of the canal begin?"
“Was it in the 7th century？”Brad answered hesitantly(犹豫地).“Wrong answer. It started in the 5th century B.C.After that,different parts were built at different times.In the 7th century,Emperor Yang of Sui expanded(扩大)the canal to its present scale(规模)by linking(连接)the parts.“How amazing！”Brad went on his journey for a while.
Then came the third question: "Why was the Grand Canal built?"
"To make it easier for people to travel around the country." "Wrong answer. Its main purpose was to transport goods from the rich lands in the south to the capital city in the north."
In the end, Brad scored zero on all the questions, but he was pleased that he had learned a lot.
“A big change happened to the Grand Canal during the Yuan Dynasty because the capital was moved to Beijing. Emperors needed new routes，”he wrote the answer to one question. "The canal has been a World Heritage Site(世界文化遗产)since 2014，”he read out another answer as he wrote it down.
“Good job, Brad!” Sight Pro's sweet voice was heard again. ( ) 1. Which picture shows the Grand Canal?

答案：1.B 2.C 3.A 4.D
解析：
【分析】
1. 第1题：首先回忆大运河的特点，它是人工运河，呈现江南水乡、河道纵横、沿岸有民居船只的风貌，对比四张图片，A是雪山，C是沙漠驼队，D是塔楼，只有B符合大运河的景观。
2. 第2题：根据上下文语境，前文Brad正在通过智能眼镜欣赏大运河的风景，后文Sight Pro开始对他进行知识提问，所以此处需要一个从“游览”过渡到“测试”的句子，分析选项，C选项能很好衔接前后内容。
3. 第3题：定位原文倒数第三段“he was pleased that he had learned a lot”，对应选项中“learned a lot while having a wonderful time”的表述，即可得出答案。
4. 第4题：根据第11段Brad写下的回答内容“A big change happened to the Grand Canal during the Yuan Dynasty because the capital was moved to Beijing. Emperors needed new routes”，可知回答的是元朝大运河发生变化的原因，对应问题应该是询问变化的原因，匹配选项D。
【解析】
1. 第1题：大运河是中国古代的人工运河，典型景观为江南水乡的河道、沿岸民居与船只，图B符合该特征，故选B。
2. 第2题：A选项“你觉得这次旅程怎么样？”、B选项“大运河多美啊！”都无法引出后文的测试环节；D选项“享受吗？现在该把我摘下来了”与后文继续提问的内容矛盾；C选项“欢乐时光结束了，难点来了”，自然过渡到测试环节，符合语境，故选C。
3. 第3题：原文明确提到Brad得零分却开心的原因是“he had learned a lot”，A选项“因为他在愉快的过程中学到了很多”与原文表述一致，故选A。
4. 第4题：Brad的回答解释了元朝大运河发生变化的原因，所以对应的问题应该是“Why was the Grand Canal changed in the Yuan Dynasty?”，故选D。
