[1]画线部分是“疑问词＋动词不定式”结构，作动词know的宾语。 　　Xie Lei is studying for a business qualification⑤ at a university in China and has come to our university on a year-long exchange programme⑥.“I chose the exchange programme because I wanted to learn about global business and improve my English[2]. My ambition⑦ is to set up⑧ a business in China after graduation，”she explained. [2]画线部分为because引导的原因状语从句。 　　At first，Xie Lei had to adapt to⑨ life in a different country.“You have to get used to⑩ a whole new life，”she said.“I had to learn how to use public transport and how to ask for things I didn't know the English names for.[3]When I got lost⑪，I had to ask passers-by for help⑫，but people here speak fast and use words I'm not familiar with⑬.I ask them to repeat themselves a lot！” [3]how to use...and how to ask for...作动词learn的宾语；I didn't know the English names for是省略了that/which的定语从句，修饰先行词things。 　　Although some foreign students live in campus accommodation，Xie Lei chose to live with a host family，who can help with her adaptation⑭ to the new culture.“When I miss home，I feel comforted⑮ to have a second family，”Xie Lei said.“When there's something I don't know or understand[4]，I can ask them.They are also keen to⑯ learn 学生用书↓第36页 about China.Laura，the daughter of my host family[5]，wants to study in China in the future.We take turns to⑰ cook each evening.They really love my stir-fried tomatoes and eggs！Laura says she always feels hungry when she smells it，so I taught her how to cook it，too.” [6] [4]画线部分是定语从句，修饰先行词something。此处省略了关系词that。 [5]画线部分作Laura的同位语。 [6]本句是so连接的并列句。says后是省略了that的宾语从句，在宾语从句中又包含when引导的时间状语从句。 　　Another challenge for Xie Lei is the academic requirements⑱.The first time that she had to write an essay，her tutor⑲explained that she must acknowledge⑳ what other people had said if she cited㉑ their ideas，but that he mainly wanted to know what she thought! Xie Lei was confused because she thought she knew less than other people.Her tutor advised her to read㉒ lots of information in order to㉓ form a wise opinion of her own. 　　Xie Lei also found many courses included students' participation㉔ in class as part of the final result.Students need to generate ideas，offer examples，apply concepts，and raise questions，as well as give presentations㉕.At first㉖，Xie Lei had no idea what she should say，but what surprised her was that she found herself speaking up㉗ in class after just a few weeks.“My presentation on traditional Chinese art was a great success㉘，which boosted my confidence㉙[7]，”she said.“I'll use these skills back home for presentations.They'll help me build a strong business in the future.” [7]which引导非限制性定语从句，which指代整个主句的内容。 　　Now halfway through㉚ her exchange year，Xie Lei feels much more at home㉛in the UK.What seemed strange before now appears quite normal to her. [8] “Engaging㉜ in British culture has helped，”she said.“As well as㉝ studying hard，I've been involved㉞ in social activities.British people are fascinated by㉟ our culture and eager to㊱ learn more about it，so I'm keen to share my culture with them.While I'm learning about business，I'm also acting as㊲ a cultural messenger㊳ building a bridge between us.” [9] 学生用书↓第37页 [8]画线部分是What引导的主语从句，What在从句中作主语。 [9]While引导时间状语从句，意为“在……期间”，相当于when；动词-ing形式短语building a bridge between us作定语，修饰名词短语a cultural messenger。 　　We will follow Xie Lei's progress in later editions㊴，but for now，we wish her all the best㊵. ◎ “欢迎你，谢蕾！”商科学生搭建文化交流的桥梁 　　半年前，19岁的谢蕾告别家人和朋友，登上了飞往伦敦的班机。这是她第一次离开中国。“我很激动，也很紧张，不知道会发生什么。”谢蕾回忆道。 　　谢蕾在中国的一所大学攻读商科，来我校参加为期一年的交流项目。“之所以选择这个交流项目，是因为我想了解全球商务，并提高我的英语水平。我的志向是毕业后在中国创办一家企业。”她解释道。 　　起初，谢蕾不得不去适应异国他乡的生活。“你必须习惯一种全新的生活。”她说，“我得学会如何使用公共交通，学会如何要到我不知道英文名称的东西。迷路时，我得向路人求助，但是这里的人讲话语速很快，而且使用的是我不熟悉的单词。我老是让他们重复！” 　　虽然一些留学生住在学校宿舍里，但是谢蕾选择住在寄宿家庭，因为寄宿家庭有助于她适应新的文化。“有第二个家，想家时我会得到些安慰。”谢蕾说。“当我有不知道或不理解的事情时，我可以咨询他们。他们对中国也很感兴趣。我房东的女儿劳拉将来想到中国求学。我们每晚轮流做饭，他们真的很爱吃我做的番茄炒蛋！劳拉说，每次闻到香味，她就感到饥肠辘辘，于是我教她做这道菜。” 　　谢蕾面临的另一个挑战是学业要求。她第一次写论文时，导师跟她解释说，如果引用别人的观点就一定要注明，不过导师主要是想知道她自己是怎么想的。谢蕾困惑不解，因为她觉得自己懂得没有别人多。她的导师建议她广泛阅读文献，形成自己睿智的观点。 　　此外，谢蕾发现很多课程的最终成绩都包含学生的课堂参与。学生需要形成观点、提供例子、运用概念、提出问题，并且还要进行展示。刚开始，谢蕾不知道该说什么。但使她惊奇的是，没过几周，她就能在课堂上大胆发言了。“我的中国传统艺术展示非常成功，这提升了我的自信心。”她说，“回国后，我会将这些技能运用到展示中，帮助我未来打造一家强大的企业。” 　　现在一年的交流时间已过半，谢蕾感到她在英国的学习和生活自如多了。以前看似奇怪的事情现在对她来说显得十分平常了。“融入英国文化使我受益匪浅。”她说，“努力学习之余，我还参加了一些社交活动。英国人对我们的文化十分着迷，渴望了解更多中国文化，因此我也乐于同他们分享。我攻读商科的同时也是一个文化使者，在中外文化之间架起了一座桥梁。” 　　我们会在随后的几期中跟踪报道谢蕾的进展情况，但现在我们祝她一切顺利。 课时测评5　Section Ⅰ　Reading and Thinking—Reading comprehension (时间：30分钟　满分：50分) (本栏目内容，在学生用书中以独立形式分册装订！) Ⅰ.阅读理解 (每小题2.5分，共37.5分) A (2024·北京市顺义区一中高二10月月考) Often，there is a false idea that one must be “in-the-know” to truly appreciate artworks.However，fine art opens the door to everyone.Learning how to look at and understand artworks requires us to take the time to view，identify and think. Look at the Art As the first step，it's necessary to take a moment to identify the artwork's general features： ●Is it a painting，sculpture or craftwork? ●Does it appear chaotic (混乱的) or organized? ●Are the colors bright or soft? Identify the Art and Artist Knowing when or how the artwork was made and learning something about the artist can reveal more context.We all know the famous painting Guernica is a masterpiece created by Picasso in 1937.However，if we can find out Picasso composed the painting to reflect a bombing during the Spanish Civil War，we'll know more about its anti-war meaning. Even if the historical context of an artwork is not obvious，knowing the year of its creation offers more context. Think About the Meaning Use what you observed in the first two steps to think about meanings the artwork could have. Consider what the title，the subjects，or the symbols meant to the artist when he or she created the artwork.What do the colors say about the artist，and how do they apply to the subjects in the art? For example，the owls in Lebo's works represent wisdom，but why are they so brightly colored? In addition，ask how the art makes you feel.Many artists have specific meanings behind their art，but also encourage viewers to come up with their own explanations.Still，every explanation is not automatically correct，which is why the techniques described above are helpful in finding clues. The next time you're admiring a work of art，keep these techniques in mind，and its meaning may unfold before your eyes. 语篇解读　本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一些欣赏艺术品的步骤和方法。 1．What is the first step when viewing art? A．Doing some research on the artist. B．Being “in-the-know” about the work. C．Identifying the work's general features. D．Knowing the year of an artwork's creation. 答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“As the first step，it's necessary to take a moment to identify the artwork's general features”可知，看艺术品的第一步是确定作品的一般特征。故选C。 2．When thinking about the meaning of an artwork，you should ． A．explain it freely B．choose a title for it C．describe it to the viewers D．ask how it makes you feel 答案：D 解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“In addition，ask how the art makes you feel.”可知，在思考一件艺术品的意义时，你应该问问它给你带来了什么感觉。故选D。 3．The passage is probably written for ． A．museum staff B．gallery visitors C．professional artists D．exhibition organizers 答案：B 解析：写作对象题。根据第一段“Often，there is a false idea that...and understand artworks requires us to take the time to view，identify and think.”以及最后一段“The next time you're admiring a work of art，keep these techniques in mind，and its meaning may unfold before your eyes.”并结合文章可知，本文主要说明了一些欣赏艺术品的步骤和方法。所以，这篇文章可能是为参观画廊的人写的。故选B。 B (2024·深圳市龙城高级中学高二上期中) When Roy Austin went on his first wildlife trip back in 2018，his only goal for the leisurely vacation was to catch sight of some African wildlife in its natural habitat—but he ended up finding something much more meaningful.He was most captivated (迷住) by the people he met in rural Kenya—particularly at the Amboseli Primary and Secondary School in Amboseli National Park. In addition to befriending many of the students and teachers，Austin was surprised to learn how difficult it was to get books and school supplies for the children.“In rural Kenya，the government does not build school buildings.You either build it yourself or raise money to have it built，” says Austin.“A teacher was asked if they had a library.She replied，‘No，but we would love to have a library.’ That stuck in my mind.” When Austin eventually returned to his home in Bluffton，South Carolina，he launched Libraries for Kids International.Since starting the charity，Austin has managed to ship more than 1，000 books to 11 schools across Kenya and Tanzania.He sends the books through the post office rather than FedEx to keep the shipping costs down. As it continues to collect books and donations for additional shipments，Austin says that the charity is now helping to move a shipping container of 22，000 books from Atlanta to Kenya.In the future，he hopes to start sending donations to South America as well. “Many people told me that it can't be done.It's too expensive to ship books，and they will disappear going through customs，” Austin says.“However，every worthwhile project will have problems and barriers.If you focus on the problems，you will never start.On the contrary，if you focus on the aim and solve the problems as they arise，most anything is possible.” 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Roy Austin向非洲肯尼亚等地捐赠图书做慈善的故事。 4．What problem does Austin find in rural Kenya?

To further understand tai chi and the Chinese philosophy behind it，Oliver decided to begin a journey to China.In 2005，Oliver established the Double Dragon Alliance Cultural Center，which acts as a bridge for foreign people seeking to gain a better understanding of Chinese culture.The center supports kung fu masters in teaching martial arts(武术) and organizes events for people to experience various aspects of Chinese culture. Apart from her tai chi classes，Oliver now serves as the director of the British Cultural Center at Shanghai University.Reflecting on her work，Oliver said，“For quite many years，my work is actually like a cultural bridge.If you don't have someone in the middle who is appreciative of all the cultures and have the desire to connect people，then it's hard for them to get to know each other.I hope I can be the bridge to bring people close together.We need to foster mutual understanding among cultures to promote peaceful relations and friendship across the globe.” 语篇解读　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了因为背部受伤已经卧床6个月的奥利弗和太极拳的不解之缘。 8．Why did Oliver try tai chi?

In a conceptual artwork，placement of colors at appropriate locations can make an amazing visual impact. 1 In an abstract art setting，using tints (色调) of colors creates a bright atmosphere and mild sensations of joy or peace. Yellow is a color that represents happiness or lack of courage，but a slightly darker shade of yellow used with a bright red can create a mood for adventure. 2 Bright yellow used with black conveys determination，confidence and power. Not only that，if you're an artist trying to get across an idea，use colors and combinations to make a point.For example，an activist working on water conservation projects could use brown，yellow，blue，and orange to create a beautiful summer setting with children playing. 3 Additionally，right colors can attract business.If it is a food chain，use red and yellow to stress the sensation of hunger and increase customers' appetite. 4 If you're selling floor tiles (地砖)，use blue and green in advertisements to impress upon potential buyers the calm，relaxing atmosphere your product will create. 5 As long as you create a harmony of colors and a deeper expression in your artwork without making an unpleasant visual impact，then the sky is the border. A．It can create a lasting impression as well. B．Colors around you directly influence the way you work. C．There is really no limit as to what colors to use in which setting. D．You can use green to create a feeling of freshness and cleanliness. E．Slightly lighter shades of yellow with softer red set a cheerful environment. F．It implies water resources are inaccessible in various areas across the world. G．That conveys the importance of protecting water resources for future generations. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在文化艺术作品中使用颜色的隐藏意义和影响。 1．答案：A 解析：根据前文“In a conceptual artwork，placement of colors at appropriate locations can make an amazing visual impact.”可知，后文应该具体解释该惊人的视觉影响。A选项(它也能给人留下持久的印象。)承接前文，符合语境。故选A。 2．答案：E 解析：根据前文“a slightly darker shade of yellow used with a bright red can create a mood for adventure”以及后文“Bright yellow used with black conveys determination，confidence and power.”可知，前文指出暗黄色营造出冒险的气氛，后文指出亮黄色传达决心、信心和力量，设空处应该是二者的过渡色即稍浅的黄色对营造氛围产生的影响。E选项(稍浅的黄色配上柔和的红色营造出欢快的氛围。)符合语境。故选E。 3．答案：G 解析：根据前文“For example，an activist working on water conservation projects could use brown，yellow，blue，and orange to create a beautiful summer setting with children playing.”可知，此处强调一个从事水资源保护项目的活动家可以使用棕色、黄色、蓝色和橙色来创造一个美丽的夏日场景，并伴有孩子们玩耍的场面，通过这种颜色和场面的组合可以传达出水资源保护项目的想法。后文应该对该想法进行解释。G选项(这传达了为子孙后代保护水资源的重要性。)中的That指代前文的“颜色和场面的组合”，与前文形成呼应，符合语境。故选G。 4．答案：D 解析：根据本段主题句“Additionally，right colors can attract business.”以及前文“If it is a food chain，use red and yellow to stress the sensation of hunger and increase customers' appetite.”可知，此处通过列举红色和黄色的例子进行说明。后文与其构成并列，列举其他颜色起到的作用。D选项(你可以使用绿色来营造新鲜和清洁的感觉。)与前文构成并列，符合语境。故选D。 5．答案：C 解析：根据后文“As long as you create a harmony of colors and a deeper expression in your artwork without making an unpleasant visual impact，then the sky is the border.”可知，C选项(在什么背景中使用什么颜色确实没有限制。)与后文语义一致，即使用各种颜色都是可行的，符合语境。故选C。 学生用书↓第38页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
