My mom’s company sent her there on business. It was great! After we arrived in Cusco, we took a train to visit Machu Picchu. What is Machu Picchu? Well, it is the remains of an ancient Inca city. It is on top of a mountain that overlooks the Urubamba River. It is more than 7,000 feet above sea level! How did we get up that high? We could have hiked the Inca Trail(印加古道) for four days. Instead, we decided to ride the train. It runs right along the river. It takes only a few hours. Our guide was a man from the local area. Not only did he provide information about the area, he also worked as our translator. Some of the people of Peru speak Quechua, which of course we don’t understand. As we rode the train, our guide pointed out unknown plants that grow in the rain forest. The plants, which grow near the floor of the rain forest, was so thick that I could hardly imagine trying to get through it back in 1911. That was when Hiram Bingham, the man who searched for the city, started his expedition(探险). We also learned about the animals. There are some dangerous snakes that live there. One bite can kill a person. It must have been quite a journey that Bingham took! His trip was well worth it, in my opinion. Machu Picchu was so big and beautiful! The stones have gone through the test of time. They have been there since the 1400s. There were terraces(梯田) cut into the sides of the mountain, and green was everywhere. To top it all off, we were in the clouds! We saw where the people lived, where they worshipped, and where they farmed. The history is fascinating! 1. How did the writer go to Machu Picchu with her parents? A. By plane. B. By boat. C. On foot. D. By train. 2. In which order did the writer do in her journey? a. Arrived in Cusco. b. Get up to Machu Picchu. c. Learned about animals.           d. Get to know some plants. A. a–b–c–d B. a–d–c–b C. b–c–d–a D. b–d–a–c 3. In Paragraph 4, why is Hiram Bingham mentioned mainly? A． It shows how difficult and dangerous it is to go through the rain forest. B． It shows how crazy he was to start the expedition in the rain forest. C． It shows how knowledgeable the writer is to know about Hiram Bingham. D． It shows how worth it was for Hiram Bingham to take the trip. 4. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. Snakes B. Stones. C.Terraces D. Clouds 重难点单词 音标 词性 中文释义 remain /rɪˈmeɪn/ n. 遗迹；剩余部分（文中指古城遗址） overlook /ˌəʊvəˈlʊk/ v. 俯瞰；眺望 expedition /ˌekspəˈdɪʃn/ n. 探险；远征 worship /ˈwɜːʃɪp/ v. 崇拜；敬奉（文中指宗教仪式场所） fascinating /ˈfæsɪneɪtɪŋ/ adj. 迷人的；极有趣的 长难句解析 原句：（第四段第二句）The plants, which grow near the floor of the rain forest, was so thick that I could hardly imagine trying to get through it back in 1911. 译文：这些生长在雨林底层的植物如此茂密，我几乎无法想象1911年人们是如何穿行其中的。 分析：本句是一个复合句。The plants were so thick... 是主句，which grow near the floor of the rain forest是非限制性定语从句，补充说明植物的生长位置。so...that... 结构表示“如此……以至于……”，后接结果状语从句。 译文 上个月，我和爸爸妈妈一起去了秘鲁。妈妈的公司派她去那里出差。这趟旅行太棒了！我们抵达库斯科后，就乘火车前往马丘比丘游玩。 马丘比丘是什么？它是一座古印加城市的遗址，坐落在俯瞰乌鲁班巴河的山巅，海拔超过7000英尺（约2133米）！ 我们是怎么到达这么高的地方的呢？本来可以选择耗时四天的印加古道徒步，但我们决定乘坐火车。列车沿着乌鲁班巴河行驶，仅需几小时就能抵达。我们的导游是位当地居民，他不仅讲解风土人情，还兼任我们的翻译——因为部分秘鲁居民使用我们完全听不懂的克丘亚语。 乘火车时，导游向我们指认了雨林中不知名的植物。这些生长在雨林底层的植被如此茂密，让人难以想象1911年希拉姆·宾厄姆探索古城时的情景——当年他正是从这里开始探险的。我们还了解到那里栖息着致命的毒蛇，被咬一口就足以致命，宾厄姆当年的旅程想必惊险万分！ 在我看来，他的冒险绝对值得。马丘比丘如此恢弘壮美！那些自15世纪就存在的石建筑历经岁月洗礼依然矗立。山体两侧开凿的梯田层层叠叠，满目苍翠。最神奇的是，我们仿佛置身云端！ 我们参观了古人的生活区、祭祀场所和农耕区域，这段历史令人着迷！ Passage B（丽江古城） The Old Town of Lijiang is a UNESCO World Heritage Site,so a lot of tourists from all over the world visit it every year. Last summer, I went to Lijiang with my friend Zhang Yi. Lijiang is a small city in the southwest of China. It has a history of over 800 years, dating back to the Song Dynasty. The most famous place in Lijiang is the Lijiang Old Town, known for its historic buildings,I thought the Lijiang Old Town was a great place to visit, but Zhang Yi did not agree. He said the development of tourism had made the old town less "old"any more. Zhang Yi complained(抱怨)that the Old Town of Lijiang was not the town it used to be, it has become too commercial with many hotels, shops, and restaurants for tourists. Also the town is crowded, making it difficult to enjoy the scenery around Lijiang. However, in my opinion, I think it is OK that Lijiang has made some changes. Thanks to tourism,the government spends more time and money protecting all the traditional buildings. And tourism helps the economy to develop.So it's a win-win situation-the people there make more money and tourists get a beautiful place to visit. Things often have two sides. The good side of Lijiang is that its traditional buildings are being well protected. while the bad side is that its traditional way of life has almost disappeared. 1. What is the status of the Old Town of Lijiang according to UNESCO? __________________________________________________________________________ 2. Who did the author visit Lijiang with, and which dynasty does Lijiang's history date back to? __________________________________________________________________________ 3. Why does Zhang Yi think the Old Town of Lijiang is no longer authentic? Give two reasons. __________________________________________________________________________ 4. What are the two benefits of tourism in Lijiang according to the author?** ①_________________________ ②___________________________ 5. What are the "two sides" of Lijiang mentioned in the passage? The good side: ____________________________________ The bad side: ____________________________________ 重难点单词 音标 词性 中文释义 UNESCO /juːˈneskəʊ/ n. 联合国教科文组织 heritage /ˈherɪtɪdʒ/ n. 遗产；传统 commercial /kəˈmɜːʃəl/ adj. 商业的；营利的 complain /kəmˈpleɪn/ v. 抱怨；投诉 economy /ɪˈkɒnəmi/ n. 经济；节约 长难句解析 原句：（第三段第二句）Thanks to tourism, the government spends more time and money protecting all the traditional buildings. 译文：由于旅游业的发展，政府投入了更多的时间和资金来保护传统建筑。 分析：“Thanks to...” 表示原因，相当于 “Because of...”。“spend time/money (in) doing sth.” 是固定搭配，表示 “花费时间/金钱做某事”。“protecting...” 是现在分词作伴随状语。 例句 ① Thanks to the new policy, more students can go to college.（由于新政策，更多学生能上大学。） 例句 ② She spends two hours practicing piano every day.（她每天花两小时练习钢琴。） 【中考考点】“Thanks to...” 表原因。“spend... (in) doing” 固定搭配。 译文 丽江古城是联合国教科文组织世界遗产地，因此每年都有大量来自世界各地的游客前来参观。去年夏天，我和朋友张毅一起去了丽江。丽江是中国西南部的一座小城，拥有800多年的历史，可追溯至宋朝。丽江最著名的地方是丽江古城，以其历史建筑而闻名。我认为丽江古城是一个值得游览的好地方，但张毅并不认同。他说旅游业的发展让古城不再“古老”了。张毅抱怨道，丽江古城已不再是原来的样子，它变得过于商业化，遍布为游客服务的酒店、商铺和餐馆。此外，古城人满为患，让人难以欣赏丽江周边的风景。 然而，在我看来，丽江发生的一些变化是可以接受的。正因为旅游业的发展，政府投入了更多时间和资金来保护所有传统建筑。同时，旅游业促进了经济发展。所以这是一个双赢的局面——当地居民赚到了更多钱，游客也拥有了一个美丽的游览地。 事物往往有两面性。丽江好的一面是传统建筑得到了良好保护，而不好的一面则是传统生活方式几乎消失了。 话题写作佳句积累累 1.Climbing mountains is not just about reaching the top, but also about finding a braver self.

The Three Falls Niagara Falls is made up of three famous waterfalls the Canadian Horseshoe Falls, American Falls and the smaller Bridal Veil Falls. The Horseshoe Falls is the largest of the three. They are separated by Goat Island. The Formation of the Falls Niagara Falls formed naturally at the end of the Ice Age. Glaciers melted forming freshwater lakes. The Niagara river connects two of these lakes: Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. The speed of the flowing water during its descent (降落) carved out a valley and at one point passed over a steep cliff (陡峭的悬崖), now called the Niagara Escarpment. Erosion caused by the flow and speed of the water has moved the waterfalls backwards, with Horseshoe Falls moving around seven miles back over the last 12,000 years. Hydro electricity The hydropower plant (水力发电厂) at Niagara Falls was a concept first developed by Nikola Tesla in the early 1890s. George Westinghouse and others became involved in the project and in 1895, they built the first hydroelectric power plant in the world.

Passage 3 （2025江苏·常州·一模）What man-made objects in China can be seen from space? They don’t include the Great Wall of course, which is mostly no wider than a country road; but surely include the Honghe Hani Rice Terraces (红河哈尼梯田). Hacked (开辟) from mountains in Yunnan province, the terraces spread over more than 160 square kilometers to create one of the most amazing landscapes on the planet. “ Since ancient times, the local Hani people have built ditches (沟渠) to pass spring water from mountains and forests to water terraced fields,” said a local guide. “The number of ditches required has been huge. It needs a great deal of manpower.” It is believed that the Hani people arrived in the Ailao Mountains around the third century, having moved south from the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau (高地). They were so impressed by what they found there—rich land, mild climate, plentiful rainfall—they chose to put down roots. Hani farmers began carving the terraces by hand during the Tang Dynasty. Some are as big as football fields, and others no larger than a bed. The terraces climb from 500 meters to 1,800 meters above sea level. They’re “stairways to heaven”. However, the Hani’s engineered wonder remained largely hidden from the rest of the world for centuries. Nobody paid much attention to them until the 2000s. The local government managed to get them highlighted on UNESCO’s World Heritage (遗产) List in 2013. Though the terraces shine with bright green in the summer growing season, the landscape is at its most photogenic (上镜的) from November to late April, when the waterlogged terraces become natural mirrors that reflect (折射) every sunrise and sunset, with farmers and water buffalo (水牛) walking by from time to time. 1. The Honghe Hani Rice Terraces ________. A．were built with the help of the local government B．are the only man-made object that can be seen from space C．were carved by Hani farmers on the Qinghai-Xizang plateau D．were created to bring water down from the forests to the farmland 2. When does the Hani Rice Terraces look the most beautiful in photographs? A．In winter. B．From autumn to spring. C．In late spring. D．During the summer growing season. 3. Why didn’t the Hani Rice Terraces come to light until the 2000s? A．Because the government didn’t support it. B．Because people couldn’t get there easily. C．Because there were not enough reports about them. D．Because the local people were unwilling to be discovered. 4. What may be the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the Honghe Hani Rice Terraces? ①A place worth visiting and enjoying. ②One common nice tourist attraction in China. ③An amazing man-made wonder. ④ A site showing Chinese people’s greatness. ⑤A useful area full of history and wisdom. ⑥ A wonderful place not known by the world. A． ①②③④ B．①③④⑤ C．②③④⑥ D．②④⑤⑥ Passage 4 （2024-2025九年级上·四川·成都·期中）Choose the words in the box to complete the passage with their proper forms.

My mom’s company sent her there on business. It was great! After we arrived in Cusco, we took a train to visit Machu Picchu. What is Machu Picchu? Well, it is the remains of an ancient Inca city. It is on top of a mountain that overlooks the Urubamba River. It is more than 7,000 feet above sea level! How did we get up that high? We could have hiked the Inca Trail(印加古道) for four days. Instead, we decided to ride the train. It runs right along the river. It takes only a few hours. Our guide was a man from the local area. Not only did he provide information about the area, he also worked as our translator. Some of the people of Peru speak Quechua, which of course we don’t understand. As we rode the train, our guide pointed out unknown plants that grow in the rain forest. The plants, which grow near the floor of the rain forest, was so thick that I could hardly imagine trying to get through it back in 1911. That was when Hiram Bingham, the man who searched for the city, started his expedition(探险). We also learned about the animals. There are some dangerous snakes that live there. One bite can kill a person. It must have been quite a journey that Bingham took! His trip was well worth it, in my opinion. Machu Picchu was so big and beautiful! The stones have gone through the test of time. They have been there since the 1400s. There were terraces(梯田) cut into the sides of the mountain, and green was everywhere. To top it all off, we were in the clouds! We saw where the people lived, where they worshipped, and where they farmed. The history is fascinating! 1. How did the writer go to Machu Picchu with her parents? A. By plane. B. By boat. C. On foot. D. By train. 2. In which order did the writer do in her journey? a. Arrived in Cusco. b. Get up to Machu Picchu. c. Learned about animals.           d. Get to know some plants. A. a–b–c–d B. a–d–c–b C. b–c–d–a D. b–d–a–c 3. In Paragraph 4, why is Hiram Bingham mentioned mainly? A． It shows how difficult and dangerous it is to go through the rain forest. B． It shows how crazy he was to start the expedition in the rain forest. C． It shows how knowledgeable the writer is to know about Hiram Bingham. D． It shows how worth it was for Hiram Bingham to take the trip. 4.

B 细节理解题。根据“After we arrived in Cusco, we took a train to visit Machu Picchu.”可知作者先到达Cusco，排除C和D;根据“As we rode the train, our guide pointed out unknown plants that grow in the rain forest.”和“We also learned about the animals.”可知作者了解了一些植物和动物，d在c之前，排除A。故选B。 3. A. 推理判断题。根据“The plants, which grow near the floor of the rain forest, was so thick that I could hardly imagine trying to get through it back in 1911.”和“We also learned about the animals. There are some dangerous snakes that live there.”可知，此处为了表达穿越雨林充满了困难和危险。故选A. 4. B 词义猜测题。根据“The stones have gone through the test of time.”可知这些石头经历了时间的考验，在这里很长时间了，所以 they代指的是stones，故选B。 译文 上个月，我和爸爸妈妈一起去了秘鲁。妈妈的公司派她去那里出差。这趟旅行太棒了！我们抵达库斯科后，就乘火车前往马丘比丘游玩。 马丘比丘是什么？它是一座古印加城市的遗址，坐落在俯瞰乌鲁班巴河的山巅，海拔超过7000英尺（约2133米）！ 我们是怎么到达这么高的地方的呢？本来可以选择耗时四天的印加古道徒步，但我们决定乘坐火车。列车沿着乌鲁班巴河行驶，仅需几小时就能抵达。我们的导游是位当地居民，他不仅讲解风土人情，还兼任我们的翻译——因为部分秘鲁居民使用我们完全听不懂的克丘亚语。 乘火车时，导游向我们指认了雨林中不知名的植物。这些生长在雨林底层的植被如此茂密，让人难以想象1911年希拉姆·宾厄姆探索古城时的情景——当年他正是从这里开始探险的。我们还了解到那里栖息着致命的毒蛇，被咬一口就足以致命，宾厄姆当年的旅程想必惊险万分！ 在我看来，他的冒险绝对值得。马丘比丘如此恢弘壮美！那些自15世纪就存在的石建筑历经岁月洗礼依然矗立。山体两侧开凿的梯田层层叠叠，满目苍翠。最神奇的是，我们仿佛置身云端！ 我们参观了古人的生活区、祭祀场所和农耕区域，这段历史令人着迷！ Passage B（丽江古城） The Old Town of Lijiang is a UNESCO World Heritage Site,so a lot of tourists from all over the world visit it every year. Last summer, I went to Lijiang with my friend Zhang Yi. Lijiang is a small city in the southwest of China. It has a history of over 800 years, dating back to the Song Dynasty. The most famous place in Lijiang is the Lijiang Old Town, known for its historic buildings,I thought the Lijiang Old Town was a great place to visit, but Zhang Yi did not agree. He said the development of tourism had made the old town less "old"any more Zhang Yi complained(抱怨)that the Old Town of Lijiang was not the town it used to be, lt has become too commercial with many hotels, shops, and restaurants for tourists. Also.the town is crowded, making it difficult to enjoy the scenery around Lijiang. However, in my opinion, I think it is OK that Lijiang has made some changes, Thanks to tourism,the government spends more time and money protecting all the traditional buildings. And tourism helps the economy to develop.So it's a win-win situation-the people there make more money and tourists get a beautiful place to visit. Things often have two sides. The good side of Lijiang is that its traditional buildings are being well protected. while the bad side is that its traditional way of life has almost disappeared. 1.

(in) doing” 固定搭配。 【答案与解析】 【导语】本文是一篇关于丽江古城的旅行见闻与思考，通过作者与朋友张毅的不同视角，探讨了旅游开发对古城的影响。 1. 答案: The Old Town of Lijiang is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 解析: 文章首句明确指出"丽江古城是联合国教科文组织世界遗产"。 2. 答案: The author visited Lijiang with his/her friend Zhang Yi, and its history dates back to the Song Dynasty. 解析: 第二段提到作者与朋友张毅同游丽江，并说明丽江有800多年历史，可追溯至宋朝。 3. It has become too commercial with many hotels, shops, and restaurants for tourists. The town is crowded, making it difficult to enjoy the scenery. 解析: 张毅抱怨的两点直接对应原文：商业化（酒店、商店增多）和游客拥挤影响体验。 4. ① The government spends more time and money protecting traditional buildings. ② Tourism helps the economy develop, allowing locals to earn more money. 解析: 作者认为旅游业带来"双赢"：政府加强古建筑保护，同时促进经济发展。 5. The good side: Its traditional buildings are being well protected. The bad side: Its traditional way of life has almost disappeared. 解析: 结尾段直接总结丽江的两面性——建筑受保护（积极），传统生活方式消失（消极）。 译文 丽江古城是联合国教科文组织世界遗产地，因此每年都有大量来自世界各地的游客前来参观。去年夏天，我和朋友张毅一起去了丽江。丽江是中国西南部的一座小城，拥有800多年的历史，可追溯至宋朝。丽江最著名的地方是丽江古城，以其历史建筑而闻名。我认为丽江古城是一个值得游览的好地方，但张毅并不认同。他说旅游业的发展让古城不再“古老”了。张毅抱怨道，丽江古城已不再是原来的样子，它变得过于商业化，遍布为游客服务的酒店、商铺和餐馆。此外，古城人满为患，让人难以欣赏丽江周边的风景。 然而，在我看来，丽江发生的一些变化是可以接受的。正因为旅游业的发展，政府投入了更多时间和资金来保护所有传统建筑。同时，旅游业促进了经济发展。所以这是一个双赢的局面——当地居民赚到了更多钱，游客也拥有了一个美丽的游览地。 事物往往有两面性。丽江好的一面是传统建筑得到了良好保护，而不好的一面则是传统生活方式几乎消失了。 话题写作佳句积累累 1.Climbing mountains is not just about reaching the top, but also about finding a braver self.

They don’t include the Great Wall of course, which is mostly no wider than a country road; but surely include the Honghe Hani Rice Terraces (红河哈尼梯田). Hacked (开辟) from mountains in Yunnan province, the terraces spread over more than 160 square kilometers to create one of the most amazing landscapes on the planet. “ Since ancient times, the local Hani people have built ditches (沟渠) to pass spring water from mountains and forests to water terraced fields,” said a local guide. “The number of ditches required has been huge. It needs a great deal of manpower.” It is believed that the Hani people arrived in the Ailao Mountains around the third century, having moved south from the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau (高地). They were so impressed by what they found there—rich land, mild climate, plentiful rainfall—they chose to put down roots. Hani farmers began carving the terraces by hand during the Tang Dynasty. Some are as big as football fields, and others no larger than a bed. The terraces climb from 500 meters to 1,800 meters above sea level. They’re “stairways to heaven”. However, the Hani’s engineered wonder remained largely hidden from the rest of the world for centuries. Nobody paid much attention to them until the 2000s. The local government managed to get them highlighted on UNESCO’s World Heritage (遗产) List in 2013. Though the terraces shine with bright green in the summer growing season, the landscape is at its most photogenic (上镜的) from November to late April, when the waterlogged terraces become natural mirrors that reflect (折射) every sunrise and sunset, with farmers and water buffalo (水牛) walking by from time to time. 1. The Honghe Hani Rice Terraces ________. A．were built with the help of the local government B．are the only man-made object that can be seen from space C．were carved by Hani farmers on the Qinghai-Xizang plateau D．were created to bring water down from the forests to the farmland 2. When does the Hani Rice Terraces look the most beautiful in photographs? A．In winter. B．From autumn to spring. C．In late spring. D．During the summer growing season. 3. Why didn’t the Hani Rice Terraces come to light until the 2000s? A．Because the government didn’t support it. B．Because people couldn’t get there easily. C．Because there were not enough reports about them. D．Because the local people were unwilling to be discovered. 4. What may be the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the Honghe Hani Rice Terraces? ①A place worth visiting and enjoying. ②One common nice tourist attraction in China. ③An amazing man-made wonder. ④ A site showing Chinese people’s greatness. ⑤A useful area full of history and wisdom. ⑥ A wonderful place not known by the world. A． ①②③④ B．①③④⑤ C．②③④⑥ D．②④⑤⑥ 【参考答案】1. D 2.B 3.C 4.B 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国的红河哈尼梯田。 1. 细节理解题。根据 "Since ancient times, the local Hani people have built ditches to pass spring water frommountains and forests to water terraced fields”可知，哈尼梯田是为了把水从山林引到农田。故选D。 2. 细节理解题。根据 "the landscape is at its most photogenic from November to late April”可知，11月到4月下旬时哈尼梯田有最漂亮的景色，这个时间段属于从秋天到春天。故选B。 3. 细节理解题。根据 “However, the Hani's engineered wonder remained largely hidden from the rest of the worldfor centuries. Nobody paid much attention to them until the 2000s,”可知，哈尼梯田直到21世纪初才被发现是因为之前被隐藏起来，即“没有足够的报道让世人知晓”。故选C。 4. 观点态度题。根据 "the landscape is at its most photogenic from November tolate April”可知，从11月到4月下旬哈尼梯田的景色最漂亮，说明这是值得参观享受的地方，①符合;根据“the terraces spread over more than 160 squarekilometers to create one of the most amazing landscapes on the planet" 和"the Hani's engineered wonder.” 可知，哈尼梯田是令人惊叹的人造工程奇迹，③符合;根据“lt is believed that the Hani people arrived in the Ailao Mountains aroundthe third century, having moved south from the Qinghai-Xizang Platea..They're 'stairnways to heaven'”可知，哈尼族人从青藏高原迁到哀牢山后，从唐朝开始克服诸多困难，经过漫长时间创造出规模宏大的梯田景观，实现了水资源的有效利用，充满了历史底蕴和劳动人民的智慧，也彰显了中国人民的伟大，④符合。故选B。 Passage 4 （2024-2025九年级上·四川·成都·期中）Choose the words in the box to complete the passage with their proper forms.
