2021年新高考I卷英语试题第二部分阅读题第二节要求“从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项”。该题有“七选五”、“句子还原”等称谓。从命题的本意上看，就是深度考查考生对文章整体意义、句段之间的逻辑关系等理解和把握能力。#高考有话说#
【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了夫妇在法国巴黎一家旅馆体验生活的经历。文章描述了夫妇入住旅馆、购买食品蔬菜、喝咖啡时的所见所闻所感。本文旨在培养学生正确的生存价值观。
36. F 主旨句。设空处前句提到just spent a week in Paris，后句又提到So the first thing we did was rent a... apartment.由此可知，本句是要表达“夫妇租住的目的或目标”这层意思，F项“我们的目标就是看看我们是否如同真正巴黎人那样生活。”承上文，接下文，符合语境。故选F。
37. C 细节题。根据设空处前句the plumbing ( 水管 ) worked和后句Our building even had a tiny lift判断，这里需要一个描述细节的句子。C项“有一个漂亮厨房和一张舒适的床”正好承接上线文，符合语境与逻辑。故选C。
38. G 细节题。根据上文的they eat great food and never gain weight和下文的French strawberries do not taste like可知，这里需要一个表达 strawberries味道程度的句子。G项“这种食物是如此地美味以至于你不需吃多少就开心了”，符合题意。故选G。
39. E 过渡句。上一段文字评述someone(they)对 strawberries的感知，设空处位于该段的段首，即小结上文，又开启下文I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries，在语意上起过渡作用。E项“那就是法国人吃得比我们少的原因”恰好符合题意。故选E。
40. A 转折题。设空处前句提到 French cafés are always crowded. 设空处后句又提到When do these people work? The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously....由此可知，语意由“闲”转“忙”，本句应该是一个转折句。A项“并非所有的顾客都是游客”符合题意。故选A。
【长难句分析】The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously — so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with a group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.（最后一段最后一句）。
分析：这是一个复合句。句中的so ...that...引导结果状语从句。从句中limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call为现在分词短语，后置修饰a deal，而在这个作定语的现在分词短语中，又有一个that引导的定语从句，修饰hours。
译文：法国人每周认真工作35小时——是如此地认真以致于一些劳动工会近来与一些公司达成协议，要求限制独立合同中随叫随到的时间总量。
词汇积累： strike a deal 成交，达成协议； contractors 合同； be on call 随叫随到。
附：2021年新高考I卷英语第二部分阅读题第二节真题
My husband and I just spent a week in Paris. So the first thing we did was rent a fantastically expensive sixth-floor apartment the size of a cupboard. It was so tiny that we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway.
The place wasn’t entirely authentic, though. Unlike a normal Parisian apartment, the plumbing ( 水管 ) worked.Our building even had a tiny lift with a female voice that said, “Ouverture des portes,” in perfect French. That is the only French phrase I mastered, and it’s a shame I don’t have much use for it.
Parisians are different from you and me. They never look lazy or untidy. As someone noted in this paper a couple of weeks ago, they eat great food and never gain weight. French strawberries do not taste like cardboard. Instead, they explode in your mouth like little flavor bombs.
On our first morning in Paris, I went around the corner to the food market to pick up some groceries. I bought a handful of perfectly ripe small strawberries and a little sweet melon. My husband and I agreed they were the best fruit we had ever eaten. But they cost $18!
In France, quality of life is much more important than efficiency (效率).You can tell this by cafés life. French cafés are always crowded. When do these people work? The French take their 35-hour workweek seriously — so seriously that some labor unions recently struck a deal with a group of companies limiting the number of hours that independent contractors can be on call.
A.Not all the customers are tourists.
B.The quality of life in France is equally excellent.
C.There was a nice kitchen and a comfortable bed.
D.The amazing food is mainly consumed by local farmers.
E.That’s not the only reason the French eat less than we do.
F.Our aim was to see if we could live, in some way, like real Parisians.
G.The food is so delicious that you don’t need much of it to make you happy.
