八、任务型阅读。
Last autumn，I went back to my hometown and stayed there for five months. 1. The grass in it had been neatly cut，but the lake remained wild. Swans sailed silently through the reeds. Parks are wonderful places because they don't change much. 2. I was lost in thought until a familiar(熟悉的)face stopped me. “Martin，is that you? Where have you been? When did you return home?”
Even in big cities，parks are great places to meet familiar faces as many people are used to taking a walk after dinner. Recently，many new public benches have been quietly set up in the streets and parks. 3. They provide a place for people to sit and talk about the simple things in life. In this modern society，you can find a peaceful place to think，discover something interesting，and connect with other people.
Young students can take a break from the online world. Next weekend，why not go to a park，sit on a bench，wait for someone to take a seat beside you and start a conversation? 4. It can be a movie star or a scientist. Later，you can boast(夸耀)about this experience. But it can be better if it's just an ordinary(普通的)person. 5. You can keep a diary of the people and the things around. Just remember to leave your electronic product at home.

【分析】
这是一道六选五的任务型阅读题，解题时首先通读全文，明确文章核心围绕“公园与公共长椅给人们提供放松、社交的空间”展开，再逐空定位上下文线索，通过逻辑顺承、指代呼应、内容匹配的方法选出对应选项：1. 第一空前文交代作者回到家乡居住，后文直接描述了某个场所里的草、湖的景象，空缺内容必须引出“公园”这个场景；2. 第二空前文提到公园变化不大，后文说作者陷入沉思，空缺内容需要衔接“公园场景”和“回忆涌现”的逻辑；3. 第三空前文提到街道和公园新增了很多公共长椅，后文介绍长椅能给人们提供聊天休憩的功能，空缺内容要承上启下，跳出长椅的实体属性引出它的人文价值；4. 第四空前文倡议大家去公园长椅上主动和身边人搭话，后文列举了可能遇到的不同身份的人，空缺内容要呼应“遇到不同的人”的设定；5. 第五空前文提到遇到普通人会更好，后文说可以记录身边的人和事，空缺内容要描述和普通路人互动的具体行为，最后排除和全文倡导放下电子产品的主旨矛盾的多余选项E即可。
【解析】
1. 空1：前文介绍作者回到家乡住了五个月，后文紧接着描述了场所内的草、湖、天鹅的公园景观，D选项“我经常早起去附近的公园散步”刚好引出公园场景，完美衔接上下文，故选D。
2. 空2：前文点明公园变化很小，后文提到作者陷入思绪直到熟人喊他，F选项“我坐在长椅上，所有旧日回忆涌上心头”既承接了公园变化不大触发回忆的设定，也顺承了后文“沉浸在思绪里”的内容，故选F。
3. 空3：前文提到各地新增了很多公共长椅，后文介绍长椅能给人们提供休憩聊天的空间，C选项“它们不只是几块木头或者金属”中的“它们”指代前文的公共长椅，既点明了长椅的实体属性，也自然引出后文它的额外人文价值，承上启下，故选C。
4. 空4：前文倡议大家去公园坐长椅等待身边人搭话，后文列举了可能遇到的电影明星、科学家等不同身份的人，A选项“你永远不知道你会遇到谁”刚好呼应后文不同身份的偶遇对象，逻辑通顺，故选A。
5. 空5：前文提到偶遇普通人反而更好，后文说可以记录身边的人和事，B选项“你们可以闲聊，更加了解彼此”描述了和普通路人互动的具体行为，衔接前后内容，故选B。
【答案】1. D 2. F 3. C 4. A 5. B
【知识点】任务型阅读，语篇逻辑推理，上下文语境匹配
【点评】本题难度适中，重点考查学生对语篇行文逻辑的把握能力，解题时要注意抓住选项和前后文的指代、内容呼应关系，多余干扰项E提到“玩手机”，和文末“把电子产品留在家里”的倡议完全矛盾，很容易排除，学生只要顺着故事发展的脉络梳理逻辑就能顺利选出正确答案。
