限时规范练39(选修8Unit4)核心素养关键词:培养学生人与社会、文学戏剧的素养能力意识一、阅读理解AIf you don’t know who J.K.Rowling is,you must be from another planet.Her Harry Potter books have been translated into 79 languages and are sold in more than 200 countries.They have been turned into popular movies.Although Rowling has earned over one billion dollars for her work and has been called a genius by many,life wasn’t always easy for her.Born in Gloucestershire,England,in 1965,Rowling was a good student whose favorite subjects were English and foreign languages,and after graduating from high school she studied French at University of Exeter.Following her graduation from Exeter,Rowling worked as a bilingual (双语的) secretary.On a train trip during this time,Rowling got the idea for a book about a boy named Harry Potter,an orphan who learns he is a wizard and enters a school of wizardry.Rowling began writing the book during lunch breaks and meetings,before finally quitting her job at age 26 and moving to Portugal to work as an English teacher.In Portugal,Rowling’s schedule allowed her to write during the mornings,and she continued working on the book.While there she married a Portuguese journalist,but after the birth of their daughter,Rowling returned to England with a suitcase full of Harry Potter notes.She continued to write,and went to a cafe with her daughter every day to work on her Harry Potter book.Rowling received a grant (奖助金) allowing her to finish the book in 1995,but it was rejected by 15 publishers before a small company called Bloomsbury published it in 1997.In 1998,the book was published in the United States as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.It wasn’t long before the book was winning awards and rising to the top of the bestsellers lists.Rowling went on to write and publish the second book in the series in 1999,and then several more in the seven-book series between then and 2007.Today she’s the bestselling author of all time.1.What does the author say about Rowling’s Harry Potter books?A.They have received fair criticism.B.They have been enjoying great popularity.C.They bring her little money but great fame.D.They are good material for language learning.2.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.Rowling’s achievements.B.Rowling’s writing style.C.Rowling’s influences.D.Rowling’s later life.3.Which of the following can best describe Rowling?A.Tough and devoted.B.Scholarly and unusual.C.Talented and determined.D.Generous and considerate.BBest inventionsBand AidOne in four U.S.kids don’t get enough exercise.One in four kids around the world don’t get enough food.UNICEF’s Kid Power Band tackles both problems.The app encourages kids to getactive by awarding points for step goals.The points earn food packages that UNICEF sends to hungry ers have already walked over 7 million miles to feed more than 30,000 children.The Kid Power Band is priced at $40.Playing with Your HeadTo enjoy the latest virtual reality (VR) technology,people typically have to spend thousands of dollars.That’s not just for a headset.They also need a computer that’s powerful enough to support the headset.Sony’s PlayStation VR headset is designed to work with a console (操纵台) that millions of people already own:the PlayStation 4.Sony engineer Richard Marks says it delivers “the most intense,most extreme” action.The PlayStation VR headset is priced at $400.Sony has promised 50 games will support the system.Out of This WorldChina’s space station Tiangong-2 is more than 34 feet long and nearly 14 feet wide.It includes exercise and medical-experiment areas.The station is tiny compared with the International Space Station (ISS),which is the size of a football field.But Tiangong-2 isstill remarkable.China built it on its own;15 nations,including Russia and the U.S.,worked together on the ISS.A Special PotatoIn sub-Saharan Africa,more than 43 million children under the age of 6 don’t get enough vitamin A,making them more likely to go blind and get sick.Plant scientists from HarvestPlus and the International Potato Center are helping countries grow their own solution,in the form of a better sweet potato.Drought-resistant,vitamin A-rich

harvest.D.They are abundant in vitamin A.二、七选五In this fast-paced life,it’s hard to find the time to cook.But cooking for other people can be fun and beneficial because it comes with some positive psychological benefits.1.Performing an act for another human being,like cooking for them,is a form of selflessness.And it can make people feel happy and connected to others.Cooking is a form of nurturing(养育).When it comes to cooking,you are feeding someone,which is necessary for survival.Cooking for others is nurturing.2.Cooking can create bonds.If you’re cooking for someone,even if they’re not present during the act,it can absolutely bring a sense of closeness in that you’re expressing your love and care for someone.3.And cooking for others helps us build and strengthen those connections.4.Not only does cooking for yourself help you eat more healthfully,but it also sends yourself a message that you are important.Cooking can also help raise your confidence.Cooking is a practice of mindfulness.Cooking can encourage us to really focus.5:walk away for a minute and you can burn the onions;check in with your phone and your water can overflow.Cooking brings us together,and it continues to create communities — and with community comes feelings of connection and happiness.Now all you have to do is find the time to add cooking into your busy life.A.Making connections is one of human’s basic needsB.If you lose your focus things can easily go wrongC.It can provide a means for social acceptanceD.Cooking can strengthen your knowledgeE.Cooking for others is a selfless actF.It is helping to keep them aliveG.Cooking is a form of self-care三、语法填空A bone thought to belong 1. St.Nicholas,the fourth-century saint (圣徒) on whom the legend of Father Christmas is based,has been dated by Oxford University.Scientists used a radio carbon test to date the relic,and 2. (find) it dates from the time of the saint,who is believed to have died around 343 AD.While the 3. (result) of the tests do not provide proof that the bone is his,it does tie the relic to the same era.According to the Oxford team,this is the first test 4. (do) on the bones.“Many relics that we study turn out to date to a period rather 5. (late) than the historic statements would suggest,” said Professor TomHigham,director of the Oxford Relics Cluster at Keble College’s Advanced Studies Centre.“This bone,in contrast,suggests that we could 6.(possible) be looking at remains from St.Nicholas himself.”Dr Georges Kazan,another director of the Oxford Relics Cluster,said,“These findings encourage us 7. (attempt) to show that the bone remains are from the same individual.”“It is 8. (excite) to think that these relics,9.date from such an ancient time,could be genuine.”St.Nicholas is thought to have lived in Myra (modern-day Turkey).He is one of 10. most respected of the saints,and was famed for his generosity.参考答案限时规范练39(选修8Unit4)一、【篇章导读】本文是记叙文。
【人教版】2019届高考一轮英语复习 分块专练题 选修8 Unit 4 含解析
选修8 Unit 4 高考试卷分块专练阅读理解提速练(4篇阅读＋1篇七选五，限时35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解APygmalion is a drama in which Shaw has made sentiments one of the principle themes of discussion. The Greek sculptor Pygmalion carved a statue and fell in love with it. Aphrodite (the goddess of love) turned the statue into a living woman named Galatea, who then became Pygmalion's wife.The Shavian Pygmalion is Henry Higgins, a professor of phonetics, whopicks up a flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, teaches her to speak as educated peopledo, and then successfully passes_her_off_as a duchess. But she is a humanbeing and cannot be treated as a machine. In the course of all his experimentsand exhibitions, the professor only thinks of his own skill success and failure,but never stops to consider how the girl feels. When the experiment is over, hehas a profound sense of relief that he has achieved triumph and has won his bet. Even now，the sentiment of the girl is of no account. The girl naturally protests against this dehumanized relationship between her and her teacher. She hurls the professor's slippers at him when he wants them and then leaves his place. But evidently, she has begun to feel for the professor and wants also to be felt for.Now the question is what is the nature of Eliza's feelings for the professor with whom she has lived in close association for so long? In the last act, the girl says she would not marry him even if he had proposed (求婚) to her. The professor, curiously ineffectual (无效的) to sexual emotions, does not love any girl because he finds them to be rivals (对手) to his own mother. He wonders, if Eliza does not want to marry him, then what does she want from him? Old Mrs. Higgins, who knows much about a woman says that it would have been better if he had thanked her and petted her and told her how wonderful she had been. Then perhaps she would not have fought with him. Every girl loves to be loved. Eliza herself says that she loves Freddy and he also loves her. Professor Higgins, however, remains as ever, an old bachelor.语篇解读：萧伯纳的著名戏剧《卖花女》具有经久不衰的艺术魅力，描述的是语言学教授希金斯如何把一名卖花姑娘训练成英语发音被上流社会接受并认可的故事，从而抨击了当时英国腐朽保守的等级意识.1．What does the underlined phrase “passes her off as” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Let her pretend to be.B．Dress her up as.C．Make her become. D．Turn into.解析：选A词义猜测题.根据前文的“teaches her to speak as educated people do”以及下文的“In the course of all his experiments and exhibitions”可知该短语的意思是“把某人冒充或假装为”.2．What kind of person do you think Higgins is according to the second paragraph?A．He is a kind man. B．He is a considerate man.C．He is a selfish man. D．He is a rude man.解析：选C推理判断题.根据第二段第三句可知希金斯只考虑自己的成败得失，从不考虑伊莉莎的感受，显然他是一个自私的人.3．Why does not Eliza marry Higgins? Because ________.A．she does not love himB．his mother does not like any girl to be her rivalC．he likes to be a bachelorD．he doesn't love any girl for fear of them being his mother's rivals解析：选D细节理解题.根据最后一段第三句可知伊莉莎不会嫁给希金斯，因为希金斯担心未来的妻子会成为他母亲的对手，所以他不敢爱上任何一个女孩.4．Which of the following statement is TRUE?A．Shaw was in fact a Greek sculptor.B．Higgins was experimenting with Eliza.C．Eliza wanted to become an educated lady very much.D．Higgins fell in love with Eliza at first sight.解析：选B细节理解题.根据第二段可知希金斯只是把伊莉莎当成一个试验品.故B正确.BI can still remember it as if it happened yesterday. I was a college freshman and had stayed up most of the night before laughing and talking with friends. Now just before my first class of the day my eyelids were feeling heavier and heavier and my head was drifting down to my desk to make my textbook a pillow. A few minutes' nap time before class couldn't hurt, I thought.Boom! I lifted my head immediately and my eyes opened wider than saucers. I looked around with my heart beating quickly trying to find the cause of the noise. My young professor was looking back at me with a mischievous,_boyish smile on his face. He had intentionally dropped the pile of textbooks he was carrying onto his desk. “Good morning！” he said, still smiling. “I'm glad to see everyone is awake. Now let's get started.”For the next hour I wasn't sleepy at all. It wasn't from the shock of my professor's textbook alarm clock either. Instead, it was from the attractive discussion he led. With knowledge and good humor, he made the material come alive. His insights were full of both wisdom and loving kindness. And the enthusiasm and joy which he taught with were contagious (有感染力的). I left the classroom not only wide awake, but a little smarter and a little better as well.I learned something far more important than not sleeping in class that day too. I learned thatif you are going to do something in this life, do it well, do it with joy, and make it an expression of your love. What a glorious place this world would be if all of us did our work joyously and well! What a beautiful world we could create if every doctor, teacher, musician, cook, waitress, poet, miner, farmer, and laborer made their work an expression of their love! Don't sleepwalk through your life then. Wake up! Let your love fill your work and your soul. Life is too short not to live it well.语篇解读：本文通过作者大学第一节课的经历告诉我们：无论从事什么职业，我们都应该带着热情和快乐去做好它.5．What did the author want to do just before his first class of the day?A．Talk with his friends.B．Take a short sleep.C．Get his eyes examined.D．Stay away from the class.解析：选B细节理解题.根据文章第一段最后两句“... my eyelids were feeling heavier and heavier ... A few minutes' nap time before class couldn't hurt, I thought.”可知，作者很困，想在上课前小睡一会儿.故选B项.6．The underlined word “mischievous” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”．A．naughty B．trickyC．sensitive D．dishonest解析：选A词义猜测题.画线词与boyish共同修饰smile，感情色彩应一致.根据boyish 的含义“男孩子气的”可推测，mischievous应表示“调皮的；淘气的”，与naughty意思相近.故选A项.7．What else did the author learn that day?A．Students should not sleep in class but respect their teachers.B．Everyone should love his job and sleepwalk through his life.C．Life is too limited to make your work an expression of your love.D．People from all walks of life should do their jobs with joy and love.解析：选D细节理解题.根据文章最后一段中的“I learned that if you are going to do something in this life, do it well, do it with joy, and make it an expression of your love.”和“What a beautiful world we could create if every doctor ... made their work an expression of their love！”可知，作者还学到无论你从事什么职业，都应该用充满快乐与爱的心去把工作做好，从而创造一个更美好的世界.故选D项.8．What can be inferred from this passage?A．The professor often kept his students sharp by using a textbook alarm.B．The author was attracted by the professor's great joy and enthusiasm.C．The author left the two-hour period not only wide awake, but a little smarter.D．Though the author was frightened awake, he was not clear-headed in the class.解析：选B推理判断题.根据文章第三段中的“With knowledge and good humor, he made the material come alive. His insights were full of both wisdom and loving kindness. And the enthusiasm and joy which he taught with were contagious(有感染力的)．”可知，作者被教授的快乐和热情所吸引，故选B项.C(2018·西宁市高三检测)If you choose only to complain and escape from a misfortune, it will always follow you wherever you go.But if you decide to be strong, the hardship will turn out to be fortune on which new hopes will arise.In an accident, a boy lost both his arms and his father who was the main source of support for the family.Since then, he has had to depend on the arms of his younger brother.For the sake of taking care of him, his younger brother became his shadow, never leaving him alone for years.Except for writing with his toes, he was completely unable to do anything in his life.As the two brothers grew up together, they had their share of problems and they would often quarrel.Then one day, his younger brother wanted to leave, living his own life, as many normal people do.So he was heartbroken and didn't know what to do.A similar misfortune befell a girl, too.One night, her mother who suffered from chronic mental illness disappeared.Her father went out to look for her mother, leaving her alone at home.She tried to prepare meals for her parents, only to overturn the kerosene light on the stove, resulting in a fire which took her hands away.Though her elder sister who was studying in another city showed her willingness to take care of her, she was determined to be completely independent.At school, she always studied hard.Most of all she learned to be self-reliant.One day, the boy and the girl were both invited to appear on a television interview program.The boy told the TV host about his uncertain future at being left on his own, whereas the girl was full of enthusiasm for her life.They both were asked to write something on a piece of paper with their toes.The boy wrote: My younger brother's arms are my arms; while the girl wrote: Broken wings, flying heart.语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文.文章通过介绍两个不同的故事启迪我们应当积极勇敢地面对困难.9．What attitude should we take towards a misfortune in the author's opinion?A．Trying to find an escape from it.B．Facing it bravely with a positive mind.C．Asking for help from your relatives.D．Ignoring it and living a normal life.解析：选B推理判断题.根据第一段的第二句“But if you decide to be strong, the hardship will turn out to be fortune on which new hopes will arise.”可推知，面对困难我们应当积极勇敢地面对，故B项正确.10．After the accident, the boy ________.A．decided to live with his brotherB．learnt to do things with his toesC．made a living all by himselfD．depended wholly on his brother解析：选D细节理解题.根据第二段的第二句“Since then, he has had to depend on the arms of his younger brother.”可知，失去双臂后，他就完全依靠他的弟弟，故D项正确.11．Which of the following is TRUE of the girl?A．She lost her mother in an accident.B．Her sister took good care of her.C．She was optimistic and full of courage.D．She led a poor life with her father.解析：选C推理判断题.根据最后一段第二句中的“the girl was full of enthusiasm for her life”，并结合第五段可知，她决定独立生活，在学校努力学习.据此可知，女孩在事故后乐观而坚强，故C项正确.12．What did the girl mean by “Broken wings, flying heart”？A．Never give up hopes in face of hardship.B．It's not easy for her to live a normal life.C．If a bird loses its wings, it can not fly.D．If you lose your hands, your life will be hard.解析：选A句意理解题.“Broken wings, flying heart”为女孩用脚趾写的话，意为“失去双翼，心仍飞翔”；结合最后一段第二句中的“the girl was full of enthusiasm for her life”和第五段可知，事故之后，她决定独立生活，在学校努力学习，乐观坚强地面对生活；据此可知，该句是说“面对困难，永远不要放弃希望”，故A项正确.DLast year Martha had a crazy idea: “Let's go to the shelter and get a dog.” I was not exactly thrilled about the idea but agreed. We went to a California Animal Shelter. We wanted to find a dog and save a life at the same time. While I walked along the rows and rows of cold metal cages, a dog caught my eye. He was scared, weak and looked like he had given up on life.He looked at me with big beautiful eyes. I could see into his soul that he just wanted it to end.I approached his cage. I stuck my finger through the hole in the cage and scratched him on the head. He closed his eyes and accepted all the love. I knew that this dog had never felt love before.I thought he was enjoying every bit of the love I could give him until his time came to leave the Earth.Tears began to stream down my face because I felt everything that this poor creature was feeling right then. He just wanted to be loved; he just wanted a home and a family.I called my wife Martha and son Gabriel over and told them. “We want him.”Now Carson's favorite thing to do is to leap up in the air onto our bed in the morning and give us kisses with his giant tongue. He is always there to greet us when we come home with a huge smile and a wagging tail.Our lives are so much better because of this giant dog. He has shown us more love than any living creature on Earth. I know what's in his big brown eyes: love, compassion and gratitude. Taking a chance on this dog was the best decision my family ever made.语篇解读：本文讲述了作者一家决定收养一只狗的过程以及这只狗给作者一家带来的欢乐.作者认为收养这只狗是全家作出的最好的决定.13．What's the author's reaction to his wife's proposal?A．He hesitated for a while.B．He was excited about it.C．He agreed with his wife.D．He was scared of it.解析：选C细节理解题.根据第一段第二句可知，作者对妻子的想法并没有感到兴奋，但是却同意了.14．What caused the author to adopt the dog?A．His sympathy.

Pygmalion李仕才一、阅读理解A business school in Paris will soon begin using artificial intelligence and facial analysis to determine whether students are paying attention in class. The software, called Nestor, is used in two online classes at the ESG business school beginning in September.The idea, according to LCA founder Marcel Saucet, is to use the data that Nestorcollects to improve the performance of both students and professors. The software uses students webcams （网络摄像机）to analyze eye movements and facial expressions and determine whether students are paying attention to a video lecture. It then formulates quizzes based on the content covered during moments of inattentiveness. Professors would also be able to identify moments when students ' attention declin ed, which could help to improve their teaching, Saucet says.Advocates for AI in education say that the software is actually unable to teacha course, but the technology could be used as a digital tutor that would adapt to astudent 's individual needs, and help develop more effective studying habits. Suchsoftware could also help teachers by providing feedback on the effectiveness of their teaching, advocates say.Saucet says Nestor won 't store any of the video footage it gets and that hiscompany has no plans to sell any other data the software collects. In addition to facial recognition and analysis, the software can integrate （合并）with students ' calendars to suggest possible study times, and track their online behavior to pick up on patterns.Rose Luckin, a professor at the University College London Knowledge Lab, says AI could unlock the “black box of learning ” by providing information on how and whenlearning happens. Luckin says a program like Nestor could be useful for students whotake classes remotely, since “there isn 't a human there watching them. ” And while some are concerned that AI may one day replace teachers, Luckin sees the technology more as an assistant, rather than a replacement. Saucet agrees.“Human contact isnot going to go away,he says. “There will always be professors.1. How does Nestor work to find out when students aren ' t paying attention?A. By collecti ng the data of stude nts ' performa nee in differe nt classes.B. By collecting the students ' grades in the quizzes.C. By shooting an d analyzing students ' eye movements and facial expressions..D. By ide ntify ing mome nts whe n stude nts ' atte nti on decli ned.2. Which is the benefit of Al education?A. It could be used exactly to replace a tutor.B. It helps stude nt to develop more effective study ing habits.C. The software is able to satisfy the requireme nt of a course.D.

Recently, whi lc working with my excellent student,I wrote him a note regarding an assignment he needed to work on.“Here, ” I said, “keep this with you so you don' t forget. ”He took the piece of paper and stared at it for a moment before commenting, "I can' t read this. ”I wasn" t sure what he meant, so I examined the note・ It was my best cursive（草书）.It' s true,then.The news about schools no Ionger teaching handwriting< But I believe it is necessary for students to learn cursive-First, there continues to be a need to sign "hard copies” of documents. There is a sense of ceremony and a seriousness of purpose about the act of signing something. It calls to mind the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Just lookat those signatures!John Hancock" s was so robust （遒劲的）and original that, more than 200 years later, it sti 11 serves as the logo （标识）of a namesake （同名者）insurance company・And why not?It is a work of art.Second,a great part of the history of the United States is recorded in handwritten documents, including personal letters. If one has not been taught to write in cursive, it is unlikely that one will be able to read it.Third,and perhaps most important, when one is trying to 1 earn something, somewhere in the process there must be a slow step. Writing in Ionghand is a mea ns of slow ing dow n eno ugh to be able to think deeply about what one is penning.In times of budgetary trial, schools often jcttison music and art instruction but keep dangerous football.

At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, don，t worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened・Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn" t really matter. Tf you have ever 1 istened to Martin Luther King" s famous speech —,r T Have a Dream H , you may notice that he stumbles （结巴）over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don，t remember. Why? Because you wore fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making・People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performa.nee rather than as an act of communication. They feel the 1 istenets are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the 1isteners are not looking for a perfect performanee. They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speaker" s ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker" s attractiveness by making him more human.As you work on your speech, don, t worry about being perfect.

What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed at the entrance? Or the soft background music?But have you ever notice the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shop's scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds, it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase・A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines・ A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening ai匚One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers9 intension to purchase increased by 80 percent.When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brand's success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sale.

And scent is just one way to achieve this.Now, a famous store uses complex mam made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut scent in the swimsuit section.

2019年人教高考英语一轮练习题：选修8U4含答案一、阅读理解。
Whenever something looks interesting or beautiful, there is a natural desire of us tocapture(捕捉) and preserve it—which means, in this day and age, that we are likely to reach for our phones to take a picture.Though this would seem to be an ideal solution, there are two big problems associated with taking pictures. Firstly, we are likely to be so busy taking pictures that we forget to look at the world whose beauty and interest encourage us to take a photograph in the first place. And secondly, because we feel the pictures are safely stored on our phones, we never get around to looking at them, so sure are we that we’ll get around to them one day.The first person to notice the problems was the English art critic(评论家), John Ruskin. He was a keen traveler who realized that most tourists make a poor job of noticing or remembering the beautiful things they see. He argued that humans have a natural tendency to respond to beauty and desire to have it, but there are better and worse expressions of this desire. At worst, we get into buying souvenirs or taking photographs. But, in Ruskin’s eyes, there’s just one thing we should do—attempting to draw the interesting things we see, regardless of whether we happento have any talent for doing so.Ruskin said, “Drawing can teach us to see: to notice properly rather than gazeabsent-mindedly.In the process of recreating with our own hands what lies before our eyes, we naturally move from a position of observing beauty in a loose way to one where we acquire a deep understanding of its parts.”Ruskin deplored the blindness and hurry of modern tourists, especially those who prided themselves on traveling around the whole Europe in a week by train, “No changing of places at a hundred miles an hour will make us stronger, happier, or wiser. There was always more in the world than men could see, if they ever walked slowly. The really precious things are thoughts and sights, not pace.”【解题导语】本文主要讨论了旅游中如何享受美景以及游客普遍存在的问题。
1．According to Paragraph 2, when taking pictures, people tend to ．A．forget to appreciate something attractive on the spotB．find it hard to learn skills of taking good picturesC．find a good way to keep things in their mindsD．have a chance to meet the challenge of new technologyA解析：细节理解题。
根据文章第二段的第二句可知，人们忙着拍照而忘了欣赏风景。
2．According to Ruskin, what should travelers do to best express their appreciation of and desire for something beautiful?A．To speak it out openly.B．To photograph it instantly.C．To purchase it immediately.D．To paint it directly.D解析：细节理解题。
根据第三段的最后一句可知，Ruskin认为，旅游者把自己看到的美景直接画下来就是对美景欣赏的最好表达。
3．From the fourth paragraph, we can infer that Ruskin encourages us to be ．A．considerate and determinedB．active and adventurousC．creative and thoughtfulD．sensitive and ambitiousC解析：推理判断题。
根据第四段的“In the process of recreating with our own hands ... we acquire a deep understanding of its parts.”可推知，Ruskin鼓励我们要有创造性，对景观要有深刻的理解。
4．The underlined word “deplored”in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “”．A．appreciated B．criticizedC．favored D．ignoredB解析：词义猜测题。
根据最后一段的“the blindness and hurry of modern tourists”并结合Ruskin的主张可推知，deplore意为“批判，不赞成”，故选B。
