2017年吉林高考英語(yǔ)完型填空專題模擬14
You've flown halfway around the world; you've sniffed out this place that nobody in Falongland or Thailand seems to have ever heard of; so what on earth is there to do here? You consider this question as you sink into an old wooden beach chair that holds you above the sand.
It was a long journey from Bangkok to Huaplee. By the time you found the bus station and got yourself sorted out, it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland.
Huaplee is located just south of Hua Hin, about two hundred kilometres from Bangkok, down the west side of the Gulf of Thailand. Not many tourists find this place, and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their purpose all along.
There's an apparent laziness that surrounds you here. It's what this place offers, and it's free of charge. The small waves that tap the shoreline seem to slow everything down. You settle into your beach chair in preparation for a long rest. You sit there and watch the sea.
It's early afternoon, so the cook comes out and asks what you'd like to eat this evening. Before long he's rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you ordered—every meal fresh and to order. No menu here.
There is no poolside noise here but just that wonderfully warm, clear blue sea. There's no street noise. The only sounds are the murmurs of nature.
For now you just count your blessings(福祉), listing them in the sand with your toe(腳趾). You don't have to worry about being late for work. You don't have to do anything.
The beach to your right stretches off to the horizon(地平線), slowly narrowing to nothingness only to reemerge again on your left, now steadily widening until it covers the chair beneath you. Sand to your left and sand to your right; it's unbroken, endless. No start, no end, just sand, sun, and peace. Step off it, and you reenter the world of traffic, stress, work, and hurry.
Normally you're the type who can't sit still for more than ten minutes, but you're on Huaplee Lazy Beach now and, in the right frame of mind, it stretches all the way around the world.
“How could it take me so long to find it?” you wonder.

【要點(diǎn)概述】 本文是一則廣告。文章主要敘述了泰國(guó)美麗的海濱度假勝地Huaplee Beach，描述了這里美麗的景色、可口的飯菜以及緩慢的生活節(jié)奏，目的在于吸引更多的人來(lái)到這里。
63. D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章二段中的內(nèi)容可知從曼谷去那里要花很長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間，而且很少有游客能夠找到這個(gè)地方。作者第一次去也花了很長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間。所以D項(xiàng)正確。
64. A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第五段中的“No menu here.”可知在這里吃飯是沒(méi)有菜單的，都是量身定做的。所以A項(xiàng)正確。
65. B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段的內(nèi)容可知，正常情況下，如果你是一個(gè)很難停下來(lái)并且很忙碌的人，那么來(lái)到這里，你就應(yīng)該忘記一切，享受大自然的美麗。所以B項(xiàng)正確。
66. D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)全文的描述可知這里風(fēng)景迷人、飯菜可口、生活愜意，作者后悔很晚才發(fā)現(xiàn)有這樣的地方。所以D項(xiàng)正確。
