Unit 1 Caltural relics ‎ 阅读理解 A ‎“Hungary？”I looked at my school headmaster in confusion.“I never mentioned wanting to go to Hungary.”And with that，my adventure started.‎ My name is Jonathan Diamond and I just finished an amazing school exchange year in Hungary.‎ Going on an exchange had always been my dream.When my high school offered an allyear program，I jumped at the opportunity.It would pay for almost everything and all I had to do was buy a plane ticket.I knew where I wanted to go：Spain，the country of dancers wearing flowing red dresses.So when I heard that I was going to Hungary，I was pretty shocked.But I decided to make the best of it，since it was，after all，a onceinalifetime opportunity.Before I knew it，I was on the airplane，leaving for Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport，Hungary.‎ I had difficult times when I almost gave up.Hungarian is the hardest language on the planet.Cultural differences occasionally embarrassed both my peers and me.I had to give up eating carrots，my beautiful favorite，for Hungarians think carrots are rubbish in their country.The change in the landscape was amazing，looking nothing like skyscrapers，bullet trains，cars，and people in tiny houses that I had been accustomed to.Gradually，I fell in love with the relaxing lifestyle，the warmhearted people，and getting home at 2：30 p．m.at the latest from school.And I was sad to leave on my very last day.‎ Having the host family who took me as one of their own members was the best thing I’ve ever experienced.From my little sisters，I learned how to embrace life to its fullest.From my brothers I learned that it’s OK for a boy to run around the house.From my host parents I learned to stay positive，to smile and that when you pick the right people and take their hands，suddenly，you become friends.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文，讲述作者作为一个交换生在国外学习的经历和感受。‎ ‎1．How did Jonathan feel when he was told to go to Hungary?‎ A．Excited and satisfied.‎ B．Confused and shocked.‎ C．Amazed and embarrassed.‎ D．Delighted and interested.‎ B　解析：细节理解题。根据首段中的“I looked at my school headmaster in confusion.”可知，作者听到这个消息很迷惑，再结合第三段中的“So when I heard that I was going to Hungary，I was pretty shocked.”可知，选项B正确。‎ ‎2．Why did Jonathan still decide to go to Hungary instead of Spain?‎ A．He didn’t like Spain.‎ B．He wanted to learn Hungarian.‎ C．It was a rare chance.‎ D．Going to Hungary was much cheaper.‎ 6‎ C　解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But I decided to make the best of it，since it was，after all，a onceinalifetime opportunity.”可知，作者决定充分利用这次机会，因为毕竟这是一次千载难逢的机会，所以选项C正确。a rare chance“一次罕见的机会”。‎ ‎3．What can we learn about Jonathan during his stay in Hungary?‎ A．He fell in love with eating carrots.‎ B．He couldn’t wait to leave.‎ C．He was surprised by the landscape.‎ D．He quickly got used to the life there.‎ C　解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The change in the landscape was amazing”可知选项C正确。‎ ‎4．According to Jonathan，the host family________．‎ A．changed him completely B．taught him how to dance well C．treated him as equally as a student D．showed him the good things of life D　解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，作者从寄宿家庭那里学到了很多人生哲学，他们向作者展现了生活中美好的事情，故选项D正确。‎ B ‎(2018·宁波模拟)When Columbus “sailed the ocean blue in 1492” he wasn’t looking for America.He was searching for a route from Spain to China；America just got in the way.‎ The Spanish were after the riches of Asia：silk，dates，spices.Until later adventurers discovered how to sail to the Far East，trade with China depended on the Silk Road.The trade between China and Europe brought huge wealth，so the Spanish had a strong desire to find a new way to the East.Eventually a way appeared；as sea traffic developed from the 17th Century onwards，the overland route diminished．‎ Now China is seeking to revive(复兴) the Silk Road and is preparing to invest 4 trillion pounds in new roads，rail links，oil pipelines and other basic facilities.It is hoped that goods can be shipped westwards by land far more quickly and economically than by sea.‎ But the plan is also to attract more tourists.Actually，China does pretty well for tourists already；it’s the world’s fourth most visited country.Two cities—Beijing and Shanghai—possess the tourism business，with significant interest in destinations such as Xi’an and Chengdu.While Beijing is modern，cities such as Lanzhou and Dunhuang have one foot planted firmly in old China.‎ Other places featured include Xi’an，the former capital of China，where you can come face to face with the Terracotta Army built to protect China’s first emperor in the afterlife.From Lanzhou tour members take the train to Jiayuguan，China’s western gateway and a key location on the Silk Road.‎ There is also a fourday coach journey along the original Silk Route through the Xinjiang region to Kashgar.Along the way，at Kurla，you can visit the ruins of the Iron Fortress.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。在古代，丝绸之路促进了东西方商品和文化的交流，‎ 6‎ 后来没落了。但是最近几年，中国复兴丝绸之路的计划使它又焕发了活力、魅力。‎ ‎5．What does the underlined word“diminished” in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ A．Discovered.　　　　　　 B．Disappeared.‎ C．Disturbed. D．Displayed.‎ B　解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段最后两句中的“the Spanish had a strong desire to find a new way to the East.Eventually a way appeared；as sea traffic developed from the 17th Century onwards”可知，当时西班牙人找到了一条更快、更方便的通往中国的海路，因此随着海上贸易的发展，那条陆地上的丝绸之路逐渐废弃、消失不见了。由此可推断出，“diminish”应意为“消失”。故选B。‎ ‎6．What is the purpose of reviving the Silk Road?‎ A．To rebuild the ruins of the Iron Fortress.‎ B．To construct new roads and other basic structures.‎ C．To make transportation westwards faster and cheaper.‎ D．To draw more inland tourists’ attention to the western gateway.‎ C　解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第二句可知，这是为了更快、更便宜地将商品输送至西方。故选C。‎ ‎7．What is the best title for the text?‎ A．The Charming of the Silk Road B．The Function of the Silk Road C．The Origin of the Silk Road D．The Future of the Silk Road A　解析：标题归纳题。根据文章内容可判断出，本文主要讲述的是：在最近几年，丝绸之路又焕发出了魅力和活力，它不仅方便了商品的运输，而且促进了中国旅游业的发展。A项体现了本文的主题，适合用作标题。故选A。‎ 完形填空 Last year, I taught in a special school where students have severe learning and behavioral difficulties.‎ Another teacher and I had spent weeks teaching the children __1__ behavior for public outings.
