课时作业 巩固提升
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2023·江苏扬州质检)Chinese society,basically agricultural,has always laid great stress on understanding the pattern of nature and living in harmony with it.The world of nature was seen as the visible expression of the workings of a higher power through the interaction of the Chinese philosophy of yin and yang. As Chinese art developed,its purpose turned to the expression of human understanding of these forces,in the form of painting of landscapes,bamboo,birds,and flowers.
Particularly in early times,art also had social and moral functions.The earliest wall paintings referred to in ancient texts often described merciful emperors,officials,and their evil opposites as examples and warnings to the living.Human relationships have always been of great importance in China,and a common theme of figure painting is that of gentlemen enjoying staying together or of the depressing partings and infrequent reunions.Among the typical themes of traditional Chinese art,there is no place for war,violence or death.No theme would be accepted in traditional Chinese art that was not inspiring,noble,or refreshing to the spirit.
In the broadest sense,therefore,all traditional Chinese art is symbolic,for everything that is painted reflects some aspect of what the painter is aware of.Bamboo suggests the spirit of the person,which can be bent by circumstance but never broken.The dragon is the wholly kind-hearted symbol of the emperor;the crane (鹤) symbolizes long life;and paired mandarin ducks symbolize wedded loyalty.Popular among the many symbols drawn from the plant world are the orchid (兰花), a symbol of purity;the plum blossom (梅花), which comes out even in
the snow and stands for uncontrollable purity,in either a revolutionary political or a spiritual sense;and the pine tree,which may represent either survival in a fierce political environment or the unconquerable spirit of old age.

(2023·河北石家庄质检)While the rest of us are sleeping,freshwater turtles (龟) from Central America to Asia are getting out of the water and basking at night.There have been reports of this behavior before,but now a new study is the first to document the widespread occurrence.The findings suggest this may be a common and almost entirely overlooked aspect of many species' ecology.
Dr.Donald T.McKnight,one of the researchers,said he and a colleague first observed freshwater turtles night basking at the Ross River in Townsville,Australia.“We think it's related to temperature.The water is staying so warm at night that it's actually warmer than the turtles like it to be and they can cool down by coming out of the water,”says McKnight.
For the study,researchers put cameras to watch the night activity of as many freshwater turtle species as possible.The cameras were set up in 25 locations.They were programmed to take a photo every two minutes.They collected data on 29 species of freshwater turtles.
It would be lovely to think the turtles are just enjoying some leisure time when things are quiet.But the researchers noted that in most cases,the turtles got out of water when the water was too warm and the air was cooler.Given the warming planet,that's admittedly a bit depressing.However,not all of the nighttime baskers were escaping too-warm water.According to the study,turtles in India exhibited more basking on cooler nights,rather than warmer nights,and those in Africa spent more time basking at night in winter than in summer.The
reasons for these differences are unclear.It may be that at some sites or seasons,turtles are escaping unfavourably warm water temperatures,while at others,they are taking advantage of the warm air to increase their body temperature and escape unfavourably cold water.
Regardless of the “why”behind different species' reasons for midnight basking,it's a fascinating look at behaviors not previously documented by scientists.And it is at least encouraging to know that turtles are figuring out important behaviors tied to climate change.

推理判断题。根据第二段中的“We think it's related to temperature ...coming out of the water”可知,澳大利亚的淡水龟进行月光浴与温度有关,晚上的水非常温暖,实际上比淡水龟喜欢的要暖和,它们可以从水中出来降温,即澳大利亚的淡水龟晚上游出水是为了给自己降温,故选C。

段落大意题。第三段提到在这项研究中,研究人员安装了摄像机以观察尽可能多的淡水龟物种的夜间活动,摄像机被设置在25个地点并被设定为每两分钟拍一张照片,共收集了29种淡水龟的数据。由此可知,本段主要介绍了该项研究是如何进行的,故选A。

7.Which of the following are the researchers certain about?
A.Turtles in Africa flee water often on summer nights.
B.The water is unfavorable for turtles to survive in India.
C.The reasons for turtles' different behaviors are obvious.
D.Night basking is caused by the change of water temperature.
答案:D

细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“But the researchers noted that in most cases,the turtles got out of water when the water was too warm and the air was cooler.”可知,研究人员注意到,在大多数情况下龟是在水温过高、空气较冷的时候出水的。由此可知,研究人员能够确定的是月光浴是由水温的变化引起的,故选D。

答案:to
3.考查冠词。该处泛指“一位壮族艺术设计师”,故用不定冠词,且Zhuang的发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。
答案:a
4.考查动词的时态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,此处that引导定语从句,that指代上文的an online database,表示单数概念,故从句的谓语动词用单数;该句陈述的是客观情况,故用一般现在时。
答案:contains
Managing the database consists of three steps.The first is collecting these traditional patterns through various channels,including investigating and visiting places where these decorations may have been passed down or
5. (contact) museums and experts.After tracking down a decorative pattern,Huang and his team take photos and 6.

5.考查非谓语动词。根据句中的or以及investigating and visiting可知,空处作介词including的宾语,应与investigating和visiting的形式保持一致,故填contacting。句意:首先是通过多种渠道收集这些传统图案,包括调查并参观这些装饰图案可能被传承的地方,或联系博物馆和专家。
答案:contacting
6.考查词性转换。空处修饰动词reproduce,故用副词digitally。
答案:digitally
7.考查固定句型。when it comes to ...为固定句型,意为“当涉及……时”。句意:在这个过程中,他们经常需要修复受损的图案,特别是涉及服装上的装饰图案时,因为它们往往会褪色或变形。
答案:when
8.考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,指代先行词mistakes,先行词由不定代词any修饰,关系词在从句中作主语,故填that。
答案:that
The beauty 9. (hold) in traditional patterns has inspired Chinese designers to find 10. (they) own style and emotional bonds instead of just caring about function and form when they design their works.
9.考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空处作非谓语动词。beauty和hold之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,故用过去分词短语作后置定语。句意:传统图案所蕴含的美激发了中国设计师在设计作品时寻找他们自己的风格和情感纽带,而不仅仅是关注功能和形式。
答案:held
10.考查代词。此处表示所属关系,故用形容词性物主代词。
答案:their
