Based on traveler votes and editor analyses of weather, crowds and events, among other factors, some places are listed here for you. Costa Rica March and April offer near-constant sunshine and daytime temperatures in the high 70s to low 90s. You can take advantage of heart-pumping activities like whitewater rafting tours or hike s through the rainforest. Because most of spring falls within Costa Rica’s peak tourist season, hotels often fill up months in advance. Yellowstone National Park As the snowfall starts to slow down, baby animals emerge in Yellowstone, making this national park an excellent place to spot wildlife. Hikers can walk on the trails, keeping their eyes for bears coming out of winter sleep with their youngs. Puebla This city in central Mexico attracts visitors with its UNESCO-recognized historic structures, art museums and yummy food. Spring marks the final few months of Puebla’s dry season before a rainy summer, just right for wandering through the city’s main square, and admiring baroque (巴洛克式的) architecture at the Templo. Lake Tahoe This year-round destination on the California-Nevada border is at its most peaceful in spring. By mid-April, skiers have left Lake Tahoe’s mountains, and the summer boating crowd hasn’t arrived yet, making it the perfect place to find some peace and quiet as you hike along the Tahoe Rim Trail. But do remember that spring here is much cooler than other destinations. 21．Which season is suggested for a visit to the places? A．Spring. B．Summer. C．Autumn. D．Winter. 22．For an animal lover, which place is the best choice? A．Costa Rica. B．Yellowstone National Park. C．Puebla. D．Lake Tahoe. 23．What is the author’s advice especially for the visitors to Lake Tahoe? A．Carry food enough for several days. B．Get ready for cold weather. C．Keep their family informed of their position. D．Never make noises when hiking. B Maria Isabel Rodriguez, a trained chef and food writer, was born in Puerto Rico, moved to New York City as a baby, and grew up eating food from her homeland. She thought it would be easy to find recipes. “I went to the Internet, did some search but only found two books, which I thought immediately, ‘Wow, this is funny,’” Rodriguez said. It was at the moment that Rodriguez determined to do something to safeguard her culture. Her idea became BoriSoul, a platform (平台) launched in 2015 to preserve her traditional food culture through stories, cooking classes and recipes. And now, that mission has turned into The BoriSoul Cookbook: Puerto Rican Recipes. Rodriguez said that the book started coming together through her desire to interview the women in her family and learn their recipes. But when friends heard about her project, they were excited to share recipes and stories from their families. She started seeking stories and recipes from her community and got responses from around the world. The interviews she collected became The BoriSoul Cookbook, with 80 recipes from 25 women. “The way that I brought in the culture was through the women in my family and they fed me.” They also shared lessons on life and love. “So there was the food that built my physical form. And as I was at the table, these stories were feeding the part of my soul that longed to connect, that longed to belong.” She eventually secured a contract (合同)for The BoriSoul Cookbook from Harper Wave, an imprint of Harper Collins. About the publication, Rodriguez said. “It’s about making sure that what cost a lot to learn isn’t forgotten.” 24．What inspired Rodriguez’s idea of BoriSoul A．Wish to be a well-known chef and writer. B．Interest in traditional and modern cooking. C．Lack of Puerto Rican recipes. D．Desire for the Internet culture. 25．How did women in Rodriguez’s family help her? A．They gave her material and emotional supports. B．They fed her to grow up with nutritious food. C．They funded her cookbook to be published. D．They taught her traditional cooking skills. 26．Which of the following can best describe Rodriguez? A．Positive and generous. B．Friendly and adventurous. C．Creative and determined. D．Outgoing and confident. 27．Who may be the readers of The BoriSoul Cookbook? A．Puerto Rican food lovers. B．Female publishers. C．Experienced housewives. D．Women neighbors. C This year, the Chinese animated film Nezha2 has taken the global box office by storm, achieving widespread praise and leading to a travel boom across the country. The “China Movie Consumption Year” campaign started this April nationwide, inviting audiences not only into theaters but also onto movie-inspired journeys across the country. On April 19, a special train called “Yichun” set off from Harbin in China’s Heilongjiang Province, carrying more than 100 tourists from Singapore, Malaysia, and other countries on an immersive (身临其境的) tour that combined cinema and travel. Organized by the National Film Administration and the China State Railway Group, this “film + tourism” train project aims to create new travel experiences by combining film culture with rail tourism. With the convenience of China’s railway network, the program connects movie scenes with real-world destinations, offering travelers a unique cultural adventure. Once on board, travelers can enjoy screenings of classic historical and documentary films, music from popular movies, poster exhibitions, cultural souvenirs, and interactive film-themed activities — all while taking in scenic views and tasting local food. What sets this journey apart is its immersive experience: passengers can visit actual filming locations along the route and engage in discussions on movies, bringing cinema to life in an engaging way. This approach has proven to be particularly appealing to younger audiences and international visitors. “This journey was truly unforgettable and absolutely fantastic. It showcased the global appeal of Chinese cinema and culture,” Prayut, one of the passengers on this trip, said. “Traveling China through film” is more than just a journey — it’s a deep cultural encounter. When movies guide the route and the journey brings the movies to life, the combination of film and tourism opens new chapters in cultural exploration. 28．What do we know about the train “Yichun”? A．It runs across many countries. B．It offers tourists film-themed experiences. C．It shows Chinese railway achievements. D．It is the most comfortable train in China. 29．What makes this train journey special? A．It has the most advanced railway technology. B．It offers free cultural souvenirs to passengers. C．It creates an immersive film-travel experience. D．It provides shooting training at filming locations. 30．What is the core value of “Traveling China through film”? A．Bringing movies to life. B．Bridging film and tourism. C．Improving film technology. D．Promoting cross-cultural exploration. 31．What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A．To recommend a popular Chinese film. B．To demonstrate the richness of Chinese culture. C．To introduce a new cultural-tourism form in China. D．To praise the convenience of Chinese transportation. D Gifts shaping children’s skills carry societal weight. New research led by Mathilde Meyer and Felix Riede suggests that inadequate or outdated toys contributed to the collapse of Norse settlements in Greenland. In 985, Norse settlers from Iceland established communities on Greenland’s fertile coastline, thriving for centuries until the world entered a cold period called the Little Ice Age (1300 — 1400). While the Inuit people who arrived later survived, the Norse had to leave their settlements by 1400. Archaeologists long puzzled over why, as Norse diets increasingly included seafood — contradicting earlier theories about their refusal to adapt. To find an answer, Meyer and Riede conducted a comparative analysis of the toys from both cultures. They examined 72 toys from Norse settlements and a remarkable 2,397 toys from Inuit settlements in similar environmental conditions. The toys were divided into five categories: weapons (such as harpoons and swords), tools (like cooking pots and lamps), transport (boats and sledges), social play (dolls and figurines), and skill play (tops and balls). The results were striking: not only did Inuit children have far more toys, but the variety of their toys was also much greater. For example, while Norse children had only toy arrows, axes, and swords, Inuit children had a wide range of hunting-related toys, including bows, crossbows, and harpoons. As time went on, the gap between the two cultures in terms of toy diversity became even more obvious. From 1000 to 1200, there were 8 social-play toys in Norse settlements compared to 23 in Inuit settlements. By 1200 — 1400, this gap expanded to 11 versus 158. The Inuit continuously increased the number of toys related to sea hunting, such as seal figurines, while the Norse still focused on land-based toys like horse figurines. The researchers argue that Norse reliance on traditional toys hindered children’s ability to innovate in a changing environment. In contrast, the Inuit’s focus on diverse, context-relevant toys equipped children with adaptive skills, ensuring long-term survival. This study serves as a warning: in the game of survival, the toys children play with may shape the fate of a society. 32．What is the central mystery addressed in the passage? A．Why the Norse residents preferred farming to fishing. B．How the Inuit people maintained toy diversity over time. C．Why the Norse settlements collapsed despite seafood diets. D．How climate change affected Greenland’s early inhabitants. 33．How did the researchers carry out their study? A．By defining a new concept. B．By examining previous essays. C．By comparing climate changes. D．By investigating ancient toys. 34．What does the underlined word “hinder” probably mean? A．Promote. B．Prevent. C．Ignore. D．Determine. 35．Which can be the best title of the passage? A．Besides Toys: Society’s Cultural Clues. B．Beyond Culture: the Settlement Factors. C．Rather than Climate: Toy Roles in Collapse. D．More than Play: the Skill-shaping Tools. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Most of us enjoy travelling, whether we’re traveling abroad, or exploring where we live.

When back home, keep in mind what we value in this trip. Sometimes, it’s the conversation we have with a local, or the experience of seeing the city from a new perspective that stays in our mind. A．The time we spend in nature brings us more friends. B．Understanding its purpose can help us plan the trip better. C．In other words, it allows us to grasp what kind of persons we are.

In early 2020, I planned a trip to the Black Hills in South Dakota and arrived there on June 23rd, not knowing I was about to have an adventure. The most exciting part of my adventure in South Dakota happened on July 5th in Custer. I woke up at 3:47 am, crawled out of my sleeping bag, and ate an energy bar. Then I walked to a hot air balloon company in downtown Custer for a 5 am meeting. There, I met other sleepy tourists who were there for the same reason as me. After filling out some paperwork and paying the fees, we got into a car and were taken to a field, followed by four trucks full of colorful materials. In the field, I got out of the car and watched as four colorful hot air balloons were fitted and inflated (充气). A few minutes later, I climbed into a basket along with other passengers. The basket was divided into four sections around the pilot in the center. Two couples and a family were in the other sections. However, all good things had to come to an end. From the pilot’s radio, I learned that due to a sudden change in the weather, the wind became unstable, and we needed to find a safe place to land quickly. We seemed to be descending (下降) very fast. I noticed the pilot struggling against the wind. He was constantly adjusting the burner and the parachute vent (伞阀) to control the balloon’s descent speed, but the strong wind made it difficult. As we continued to descend, he said, “Everyone, I need you to sit down, face backward, and cover your heads.” We followed his instructions. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The basket shook violently back and forth. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The few seconds, during which the balloon was landing on the grass, was like hours. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Oh, man, I feel awful.

Children love IT, and it's really amazing for adults too, when you get hungry, there is a relaxed family dining area serving snacks, cold drinks and ice creams. Near the main entrance, there is an excEllent bookshop, and there is also a souvenir shop selling all kinds of things connected with the sea, so I warmly recommend this visit. 听力部分到此结束。 Unit 4 History and Traditions单元测试·提升卷 （考试时间：100分钟 试卷满分：120分） （参考答案） （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 第一部分 听力（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分） 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 C B C B C C B B A C 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 A A C B C A A C A B 第二部分 阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2.5分， 满分50分） 21．A 22．B 23．B 24．C 25．A 26．C 27．A 28．B 29．C 30．D 31．C 32．C 33．D 34．B 35．C 36．F 37．C 38．G 39．B 40．E 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 41．B 42．C 43．A 44．C 45．D 46．B 47．A 48．C 49．D 50．A 51．C 52．D 53．B 54．A 55．D 第二节（共10小题；每小题1. 5分, 满分15分） 56．out 57．a 58．was finished 59．accessible 60．accurately 61．To avoid 62．which 63．lessen 64．leading 65．guidance 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66．Dear Chris, I’m delighted you enjoyed the Forbidden City! For a completely different cultural experience, I highly recommend the Terracotta Warriors in Xi’an. This UNESCO World Heritage site features thousands of life-sized clay soldiers guarding China’s first emperor since 210 BCE. Unlike the Forbidden City’s imperial architecture, these remarkable figures showcase ancient China’s military might and artistic sophistication. Each warrior’s unique facial expression reveals incredible craftsmanship. The site’s archaeological significance makes it one of China’s most valuable cultural treasures. I’m certain you’ll be amazed by this historical wonder. Wishing you another fascinating cultural discovery in China! Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） The basket shook violently back and forth. We were thrown from side to side as the balloon bounced across the uneven ground. I kept my head covered and held tightly to the edge, feeling the impact with every jolt. One couple cried out, but I focused on staying low and bracing myself. The pilot shouted calm instructions, reminding us not to stand until he gave the all-clear. Dust and grass flew into the air, making it hard to breathe. Finally, the movement slowed, and the balloon came to a stop, half-collapsed on its side. The few seconds, during which the balloon was landing on the grass, was like hours. When the pilot confirmed it was safe, we slowly stood up, shaken but unharmed. Despite the rough landing, everyone felt a sense of relief and even excitement. We had faced an unexpected challenge together. The ground crew arrived quickly, helping us out and beginning the process of packing the balloon. Looking back, though frightening, the experience deepened my appreciation for nature’s unpredictability and the skill of the pilot who kept us safe. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… 此卷只装订不密封 ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… … 学校：______________姓名：_____________班级：_______________考号：______________________ Unit 4 History and Traditions（单元测试·提升卷） （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1．本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答第Ⅰ卷时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。写在本试卷上无效。 3．回答第Ⅱ卷时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 做题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．Why does the man look terrible?

Based on traveler votes and editor analyses of weather, crowds and events, among other factors, some places are listed here for you. Costa Rica March and April offer near-constant sunshine and daytime temperatures in the high 70s to low 90s. You can take advantage of heart-pumping activities like whitewater rafting tours or hike s through the rainforest. Because most of spring falls within Costa Rica’s peak tourist season, hotels often fill up months in advance. Yellowstone National Park As the snowfall starts to slow down, baby animals emerge in Yellowstone, making this national park an excellent place to spot wildlife. Hikers can walk on the trails, keeping their eyes for bears coming out of winter sleep with their youngs. Puebla This city in central Mexico attracts visitors with its UNESCO-recognized historic structures, art museums and yummy food. Spring marks the final few months of Puebla’s dry season before a rainy summer, just right for wandering through the city’s main square, and admiring baroque (巴洛克式的) architecture at the Templo. Lake Tahoe This year-round destination on the California-Nevada border is at its most peaceful in spring. By mid-April, skiers have left Lake Tahoe’s mountains, and the summer boating crowd hasn’t arrived yet, making it the perfect place to find some peace and quiet as you hike along the Tahoe Rim Trail. But do remember that spring here is much cooler than other destinations. 21．Which season is suggested for a visit to the places? A．Spring. B．Summer. C．Autumn. D．Winter. 22．For an animal lover, which place is the best choice? A．Costa Rica. B．Yellowstone National Park. C．Puebla. D．Lake Tahoe. 23．What is the author’s advice especially for the visitors to Lake Tahoe? A．Carry food enough for several days. B．Get ready for cold weather. C．Keep their family informed of their position. D．Never make noises when hiking. B Maria Isabel Rodriguez, a trained chef and food writer, was born in Puerto Rico, moved to New York City as a baby, and grew up eating food from her homeland. She thought it would be easy to find recipes. “I went to the Internet, did some search but only found two books, which I thought immediately, ‘Wow, this is funny,’” Rodriguez said. It was at the moment that Rodriguez determined to do something to safeguard her culture. Her idea became BoriSoul, a platform (平台) launched in 2015 to preserve her traditional food culture through stories, cooking classes and recipes. And now, that mission has turned into The BoriSoul Cookbook: Puerto Rican Recipes. Rodriguez said that the book started coming together through her desire to interview the women in her family and learn their recipes. But when friends heard about her project, they were excited to share recipes and stories from their families. She started seeking stories and recipes from her community and got responses from around the world. The interviews she collected became The BoriSoul Cookbook, with 80 recipes from 25 women. “The way that I brought in the culture was through the women in my family and they fed me.” They also shared lessons on life and love. “So there was the food that built my physical form. And as I was at the table, these stories were feeding the part of my soul that longed to connect, that longed to belong.” She eventually secured a contract (合同)for The BoriSoul Cookbook from Harper Wave, an imprint of Harper Collins. About the publication, Rodriguez said. “It’s about making sure that what cost a lot to learn isn’t forgotten.” 24．What inspired Rodriguez’s idea of BoriSoul A．Wish to be a well-known chef and writer. B．Interest in traditional and modern cooking. C．Lack of Puerto Rican recipes. D．Desire for the Internet culture. 25．How did women in Rodriguez’s family help her? A．They gave her material and emotional supports. B．They fed her to grow up with nutritious food. C．They funded her cookbook to be published. D．They taught her traditional cooking skills. 26．Which of the following can best describe Rodriguez? A．Positive and generous. B．Friendly and adventurous. C．Creative and determined. D．Outgoing and confident. 27．Who may be the readers of The BoriSoul Cookbook? A．Puerto Rican food lovers. B．Female publishers. C．Experienced housewives. D．Women neighbors. C This year, the Chinese animated film Nezha2 has taken the global box office by storm, achieving widespread praise and leading to a travel boom across the country. The “China Movie Consumption Year” campaign started this April nationwide, inviting audiences not only into theaters but also onto movie-inspired journeys across the country. On April 19, a special train called “Yichun” set off from Harbin in China’s Heilongjiang Province, carrying more than 100 tourists from Singapore, Malaysia, and other countries on an immersive (身临其境的) tour that combined cinema and travel. Organized by the National Film Administration and the China State Railway Group, this “film + tourism” train project aims to create new travel experiences by combining film culture with rail tourism. With the convenience of China’s railway network, the program connects movie scenes with real-world destinations, offering travelers a unique cultural adventure. Once on board, travelers can enjoy screenings of classic historical and documentary films, music from popular movies, poster exhibitions, cultural souvenirs, and interactive film-themed activities — all while taking in scenic views and tasting local food. What sets this journey apart is its immersive experience: passengers can visit actual filming locations along the route and engage in discussions on movies, bringing cinema to life in an engaging way. This approach has proven to be particularly appealing to younger audiences and international visitors. “This journey was truly unforgettable and absolutely fantastic. It showcased the global appeal of Chinese cinema and culture,” Prayut, one of the passengers on this trip, said. “Traveling China through film” is more than just a journey — it’s a deep cultural encounter. When movies guide the route and the journey brings the movies to life, the combination of film and tourism opens new chapters in cultural exploration. 28．What do we know about the train “Yichun”? A．It runs across many countries. B．It offers tourists film-themed experiences. C．It shows Chinese railway achievements. D．It is the most comfortable train in China. 29．What makes this train journey special? A．It has the most advanced railway technology. B．It offers free cultural souvenirs to passengers. C．It creates an immersive film-travel experience. D．It provides shooting training at filming locations. 30．What is the core value of “Traveling China through film”? A．Bringing movies to life. B．Bridging film and tourism. C．Improving film technology. D．Promoting cross-cultural exploration. 31．What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A．To recommend a popular Chinese film. B．To demonstrate the richness of Chinese culture. C．To introduce a new cultural-tourism form in China. D．To praise the convenience of Chinese transportation. D Gifts shaping children’s skills carry societal weight. New research led by Mathilde Meyer and Felix Riede suggests that inadequate or outdated toys contributed to the collapse of Norse settlements in Greenland. In 985, Norse settlers from Iceland established communities on Greenland’s fertile coastline, thriving for centuries until the world entered a cold period called the Little Ice Age (1300 — 1400). While the Inuit people who arrived later survived, the Norse had to leave their settlements by 1400. Archaeologists long puzzled over why, as Norse diets increasingly included seafood — contradicting earlier theories about their refusal to adapt. To find an answer, Meyer and Riede conducted a comparative analysis of the toys from both cultures. They examined 72 toys from Norse settlements and a remarkable 2,397 toys from Inuit settlements in similar environmental conditions. The toys were divided into five categories: weapons (such as harpoons and swords), tools (like cooking pots and lamps), transport (boats and sledges), social play (dolls and figurines), and skill play (tops and balls). The results were striking: not only did Inuit children have far more toys, but the variety of their toys was also much greater. For example, while Norse children had only toy arrows, axes, and swords, Inuit children had a wide range of hunting-related toys, including bows, crossbows, and harpoons. As time went on, the gap between the two cultures in terms of toy diversity became even more obvious. From 1000 to 1200, there were 8 social-play toys in Norse settlements compared to 23 in Inuit settlements. By 1200 — 1400, this gap expanded to 11 versus 158. The Inuit continuously increased the number of toys related to sea hunting, such as seal figurines, while the Norse still focused on land-based toys like horse figurines. The researchers argue that Norse reliance on traditional toys hindered children’s ability to innovate in a changing environment. In contrast, the Inuit’s focus on diverse, context-relevant toys equipped children with adaptive skills, ensuring long-term survival. This study serves as a warning: in the game of survival, the toys children play with may shape the fate of a society. 32．What is the central mystery addressed in the passage? A．Why the Norse residents preferred farming to fishing. B．How the Inuit people maintained toy diversity over time. C．Why the Norse settlements collapsed despite seafood diets. D．How climate change affected Greenland’s early inhabitants. 33．How did the researchers carry out their study? A．By defining a new concept. B．By examining previous essays. C．By comparing climate changes. D．By investigating ancient toys. 34．What does the underlined word “hinder” probably mean? A．Promote. B．Prevent. C．Ignore. D．Determine. 35．Which can be the best title of the passage? A．Besides Toys: Society’s Cultural Clues. B．Beyond Culture: the Settlement Factors. C．Rather than Climate: Toy Roles in Collapse. D．More than Play: the Skill-shaping Tools. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Most of us enjoy travelling, whether we’re traveling abroad, or exploring where we live.

It helps us develop awareness of not only our own existence, but also our thoughts and surroundings. 37 Moreover, it teaches us what is important and what happiness means to people.

Start by figuring out what we want to gain from the trip. 39 Additionally, consider what we’ve valued about the past trip, and whether this fits with what we want to do now. 40 That could be anything from visiting a new café and trying something on the menu, to challenging a new sport. When back home, keep in mind what we value in this trip. Sometimes, it’s the conversation we have with a local, or the experience of seeing the city from a new perspective that stays in our mind. A．The time we spend in nature brings us more friends. B．Understanding its purpose can help us plan the trip better. C．In other words, it allows us to grasp what kind of persons we are. D．The enjoyment of a day trip can last long after you are back home. E．One of the most important parts of travel is experiencing something new.

In early 2020, I planned a trip to the Black Hills in South Dakota and arrived there on June 23rd, not knowing I was about to have an adventure. The most exciting part of my adventure in South Dakota happened on July 5th in Custer. I woke up at 3:47 am, crawled out of my sleeping bag, and ate an energy bar. Then I walked to a hot air balloon company in downtown Custer for a 5 am meeting. There, I met other sleepy tourists who were there for the same reason as me. After filling out some paperwork and paying the fees, we got into a car and were taken to a field, followed by four trucks full of colorful materials. In the field, I got out of the car and watched as four colorful hot air balloons were fitted and inflated (充气). A few minutes later, I climbed into a basket along with other passengers. The basket was divided into four sections around the pilot in the center. Two couples and a family were in the other sections. However, all good things had to come to an end. From the pilot’s radio, I learned that due to a sudden change in the weather, the wind became unstable, and we needed to find a safe place to land quickly. We seemed to be descending (下降) very fast. I noticed the pilot struggling against the wind. He was constantly adjusting the burner and the parachute vent (伞阀) to control the balloon’s descent speed, but the strong wind made it difficult. As we continued to descend, he said, “Everyone, I need you to sit down, face backward, and cover your heads.” We followed his instructions. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The basket shook violently back and forth. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The few seconds, during which the balloon was landing on the grass, was like hours. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第3页（共8页） 试题 第4页（共8页） 试题 第1页（共8页） 试题 第2页（共8页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 4 History and Traditions（单元测试·提升卷） （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1．本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答第Ⅰ卷时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。写在本试卷上无效。 3．回答第Ⅱ卷时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 做题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．Why does the man look terrible?

M: I agree that it looks like the weather will stay nice, but I feel like the air smells like rain and that happens right before the storm usually. W: I don’t care if we get wet. M: I don’t, either. But I’m worried about our things blowing away. 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。 8．Where is Susan going? A．America. B．Canada. C．Britain. 9．Who insists on taking the trip by air? A．Susan’s husband. B．Susan’s children.

You know, planes make me nervous. M: There’s nothing to be frightened of. How many planes fly across the Atlantic every day? W: I have no idea. Hundreds, I suppose. M: And how often do you hear of a crash? Once or twice a year? W: But planes fly so high and fast that once is enough. M: There are more road accidents per day than air deaths per year.

M: It’s fine if you’re a good sailor, but have you ever traveled far in a rough sea? W: No. I’ve only been in a boat once. I sailed down the River Thames on a sightseeing tour, but in any case I’d rather be seasick than dead. 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。 11．Why does the woman refuse to go to a gym? A．She thinks it costly.

M: When did it first break down? W: About five days ago. I’ve tried to use it since then. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. It’s very annoying.

You can see everything here, from the most enormous sea creatures to the smallest. Every morning from ten o’clock there are slide and video shows for children in the sea life theatre, and someone is always there to answer questions about what you’ve seen. If you are in a group of six or more people, they can give you a special guided tour of the center. But you need to arrange this at the information desk when you arrive. The latest attraction at the center is a big glass tunnel you can walk through. All around you, you will see enormous fish swimming. Sometimes even over your head. You certainly have the clearest possible view of the world beneath the waves. Children love it and it’s really amazing for adults too. When you get hungry, there is a relaxed family dining area serving snacks, cold drinks and ice creams. Near the main entrance there is an excellent bookshop and there’s also a souvenir shop selling all kinds of things connected with the sea.

Based on traveler votes and editor analyses of weather, crowds and events, among other factors, some places are listed here for you. Costa Rica March and April offer near-constant sunshine and daytime temperatures in the high 70s to low 90s. You can take advantage of heart-pumping activities like whitewater rafting tours or hike s through the rainforest. Because most of spring falls within Costa Rica’s peak tourist season, hotels often fill up months in advance. Yellowstone National Park As the snowfall starts to slow down, baby animals emerge in Yellowstone, making this national park an excellent place to spot wildlife. Hikers can walk on the trails, keeping their eyes for bears coming out of winter sleep with their youngs. Puebla This city in central Mexico attracts visitors with its UNESCO-recognized historic structures, art museums and yummy food. Spring marks the final few months of Puebla’s dry season before a rainy summer, just right for wandering through the city’s main square, and admiring baroque (巴洛克式的) architecture at the Templo. Lake Tahoe This year-round destination on the California-Nevada border is at its most peaceful in spring. By mid-April, skiers have left Lake Tahoe’s mountains, and the summer boating crowd hasn’t arrived yet, making it the perfect place to find some peace and quiet as you hike along the Tahoe Rim Trail. But do remember that spring here is much cooler than other destinations. 21．Which season is suggested for a visit to the places? A．Spring. B．Summer. C．Autumn. D．Winter. 22．For an animal lover, which place is the best choice? A．Costa Rica. B．Yellowstone National Park. C．Puebla. D．Lake Tahoe. 23．What is the author’s advice especially for the visitors to Lake Tahoe? A．Carry food enough for several days. B．Get ready for cold weather. C．Keep their family informed of their position. D．Never make noises when hiking. 【答案】21．A 22．B 23．B 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章推荐了几个适合春季游览的热门旅游目的地。 21．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Now it is the ideal time to visit many of the world’s most popular vacation destinations.(现在是游览世界上许多最受欢迎的度假胜地的理想时间)”、第二段中“March and April offer near-constant sunshine(3月和4月几乎永远阳光明媚)”、第三段中“As the snowfall starts to slow down, baby animals emerge in Yellowstone(随着降雪开始减缓，黄石公园里出现了小动物)”、第四段中“Spring marks the final few months of Puebla’s dry season before a rainy summer(春天标志着普埃布拉旱季的最后几个月，雨季即将来临)”和第五段中“This year-round destination on the California-Nevada border is at its most peaceful in spring.(这个位于加州和内华达州边境的全年旅游胜地在春天是最宁静的)”可推知，文章建议春季去这几个地方旅行。故选A。 22．细节理解题。根据“Yellowstone National Park”部分的描述“As the snowfall starts to slow down，baby animals emerge in Yellowstone，making this national park an excellent place to spot wildlife.(随着降雪开始减缓，黄石公园的小动物开始出现，这使得这个国家公园成为观赏野生动物的绝佳地点)”可知，对于喜欢动物的人来说，黄石国家公园是最好的选择。故选B。 23．细节理解题。根据“Lake Tahoe”部分的最后一句“But do remember that spring here is much cooler than other destinations.(但请记住，这里的春天比其他目的地要冷得多)”可知，作者特别建议游览Lake Tahoe的游客要为寒冷的天气做好准备。故选B。 B Maria Isabel Rodriguez, a trained chef and food writer, was born in Puerto Rico, moved to New York City as a baby, and grew up eating food from her homeland. She thought it would be easy to find recipes. “I went to the Internet, did some search but only found two books, which I thought immediately, ‘Wow, this is funny,’” Rodriguez said. It was at the moment that Rodriguez determined to do something to safeguard her culture. Her idea became BoriSoul, a platform (平台) launched in 2015 to preserve her traditional food culture through stories, cooking classes and recipes. And now, that mission has turned into The BoriSoul Cookbook: Puerto Rican Recipes. Rodriguez said that the book started coming together through her desire to interview the women in her family and learn their recipes. But when friends heard about her project, they were excited to share recipes and stories from their families. She started seeking stories and recipes from her community and got responses from around the world. The interviews she collected became The BoriSoul Cookbook, with 80 recipes from 25 women. “The way that I brought in the culture was through the women in my family and they fed me.” They also shared lessons on life and love. “So there was the food that built my physical form. And as I was at the table, these stories were feeding the part of my soul that longed to connect, that longed to belong.” She eventually secured a contract (合同)for The BoriSoul Cookbook from Harper Wave, an imprint of Harper Collins. About the publication, Rodriguez said. “It’s about making sure that what cost a lot to learn isn’t forgotten.” 24．What inspired Rodriguez’s idea of BoriSoul A．Wish to be a well-known chef and writer. B．Interest in traditional and modern cooking. C．Lack of Puerto Rican recipes. D．Desire for the Internet culture. 25．How did women in Rodriguez’s family help her?

D．Outgoing and confident. 27．Who may be the readers of The BoriSoul Cookbook? A．Puerto Rican food lovers. B．Female publishers. C．Experienced housewives. D．Women neighbors. 【答案】24．C 25．A 26．C 27．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述出生于波多黎各的厨师兼美食作家Maria Isabel Rodriguez，因发现波多黎各美食食谱稀缺，决心保护本土文化，创建 BoriSoul 平台并最终出版《波里灵魂食谱：波多黎各菜谱》的故事。 24．细节理解题。根据第一段“Maria Isabel Rodriguez, a trained chef and food writer, was born in Puerto Rico, moved to New York City as a baby, and grew up eating food from her homeland. She thought it would be easy to find recipes. “I went to the Internet, did some search but only found two books, which I thought immediately, ‘Wow, this is funny,’” Rodriguez said. It was at the moment that Rodriguez determined to do something to safeguard her culture.(Maria Isabel Rodriguez是一位科班出身的厨师兼美食作家，她出生在波多黎各，幼年时搬到纽约市，从小吃着家乡的食物长大。她原以为很容易就能找到（家乡美食的）菜谱。“我上网搜索了一下，却只找到两本书，我当时就想，‘哇，这可真有意思’”Rodriguez说道。就在那一刻，Rodriguez下定决心要做点什么来保护自己的文化 )”以及第二段“Her idea became BoriSoul, a platform (平台) launched in 2015 to preserve her traditional food culture through stories, cooking classes and recipes.(她的想法催生了 “波里灵魂”（BoriSoul）这一平台。该平台于 2015 年推出，旨在通过故事、烹饪课程以及食谱来传承她家乡的传统饮食文化)”可知，缺少波多黎各食谱食谱的事实激发了Rodriguez建立BoriSoul平台的想法。故选C。 25．细节理解题。根据第三段“Rodriguez said that the book started coming together through her desire to interview the women in her family and learn their recipes. But when friends heard about her project, they were excited to share recipes and stories from their families.(Rodriguez说，这本书开始成型是通过她采访家里的女性并学习她们的食谱的渴望。但当朋友们听说她的项目时，她们很高兴能分享家人的食谱和故事)”以及第四段““The way that I brought in the culture was through the women in my family and they fed me.” They also shared lessons on life and love. “So there was the food that built my physical form. And as I was at the table, these stories were feeding the part of my soul that longed to connect, that longed to belong.”(“我是通过家里的女性把这种文化带进来的，她们养活了我。”她们还分享了关于生活和爱情的课程。“所以有食物建立了我的身体形态。当我坐在餐桌旁时，这些故事滋养了我灵魂中渴望联系、渴望归属的部分。”)”可知，Rodriguez家里的女性不仅养活了Rodriguez，而且她们分享的故事也滋养了的Rodriguez的精神，即她们给Rodriguez物质和情感上的支持。故选A。 26．推理判断题。根据第二段“Her idea became BoriSoul, a platform (平台) launched in 2015 to preserve her traditional food culture through stories, cooking classes and recipes.(她的想法变成了BoriSoul，这是一个于2015年推出的平台，旨在通过故事、烹饪课程和食谱来保护她的传统饮食文化)”以及最后一段“She eventually secured a contract (合同) for The BoriSoul Cookbook from Harper Wave, an imprint of Harper Collins.(她最终从哈珀柯林斯公司旗下的哈珀波公司获得了The BoriSoul Cookbook 的合同)”可知，Rodriguez创立了BoriSoul平台，并且成功地将这一概念转化为一本包含家庭食谱和故事的烹饪书，这表明她是有创造力和有决心的。故选C。 27．推理判断题。根据第二段“Her idea became BoriSoul, a platform (平台) launched in 2015 to preserve her traditional food culture through stories, cooking classes and recipes.

The “China Movie Consumption Year” campaign started this April nationwide, inviting audiences not only into theaters but also onto movie-inspired journeys across the country. On April 19, a special train called “Yichun” set off from Harbin in China’s Heilongjiang Province, carrying more than 100 tourists from Singapore, Malaysia, and other countries on an immersive (身临其境的) tour that combined cinema and travel. Organized by the National Film Administration and the China State Railway Group, this “film + tourism” train project aims to create new travel experiences by combining film culture with rail tourism. With the convenience of China’s railway network, the program connects movie scenes with real-world destinations, offering travelers a unique cultural adventure. Once on board, travelers can enjoy screenings of classic historical and documentary films, music from popular movies, poster exhibitions, cultural souvenirs, and interactive film-themed activities — all while taking in scenic views and tasting local food. What sets this journey apart is its immersive experience: passengers can visit actual filming locations along the route and engage in discussions on movies, bringing cinema to life in an engaging way. This approach has proven to be particularly appealing to younger audiences and international visitors. “This journey was truly unforgettable and absolutely fantastic. It showcased the global appeal of Chinese cinema and culture,” Prayut, one of the passengers on this trip, said. “Traveling China through film” is more than just a journey — it’s a deep cultural encounter. When movies guide the route and the journey brings the movies to life, the combination of film and tourism opens new chapters in cultural exploration. 28．What do we know about the train “Yichun”? A．It runs across many countries. B．It offers tourists film-themed experiences. C．It shows Chinese railway achievements. D．It is the most comfortable train in China. 29．What makes this train journey special? A．It has the most advanced railway technology. B．It offers free cultural souvenirs to passengers. C．It creates an immersive film-travel experience. D．It provides shooting training at filming locations. 30．What is the core value of “Traveling China through film”? A．Bringing movies to life. B．Bridging film and tourism. C．Improving film technology. D．Promoting cross-cultural exploration. 31．What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A．To recommend a popular Chinese film. B．To demonstrate the richness of Chinese culture. C．To introduce a new cultural-tourism form in China. D．To praise the convenience of Chinese transportation. 【答案】28．B 29．C 30．D 31．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍中国“电影+旅游”的新型文旅形式，以“伊春号”列车为例阐述其特色与意义。 28．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Once on board, travelers can enjoy screenings of classic historical and documentary films, music from popular movies, poster exhibitions, cultural souvenirs, and interactive film-themed activities — all while taking in scenic views and tasting local food. (一旦登上列车，游客可以欣赏经典历史片和纪录片的放映、热门电影的音乐、海报展览、文化纪念品以及互动电影主题活动——同时还能欣赏风景和品尝当地美食。)”可知，“伊春号”列车为游客提供电影主题的体验。故选B项。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“What sets this journey apart is its immersive experience: passengers can visit actual filming locations along the route and engage in discussions on movies, bringing cinema to life in an engaging way. (这段旅程的独特之处在于其沉浸式体验：乘客可以参观沿途的实际拍摄地点，参与电影讨论，以一种引人入胜的方式让电影栩栩如生。)”可知，这趟列车之旅的特别之处在于它创造了沉浸式的电影旅行体验。故选C项。 30．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““Traveling China through film” is more than just a journey — it’s a deep cultural encounter. When movies guide the route and the journey brings the movies to life, the combination of film and tourism opens new chapters in cultural exploration. (“通过电影游中国”不仅仅是一次旅行——更是一次深度的文化邂逅。当电影指引路线，旅程让电影栩栩如生时，电影与旅游的结合为文化探索翻开了新的篇章。)”可知，“通过电影游中国”的核心价值在于促进跨文化探索。故选D项。 31．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中的“Organized by the National Film Administration and the China State Railway Group, this “film + tourism” train project aims to create new travel experiences by combining film culture with rail tourism. ( 这个由国家电影局和中国国家铁路集团组织的“电影+旅游”列车项目，旨在通过将电影文化与铁路旅游相结合，创造新的旅游体验。)”可知，作者写作本文的目的是介绍中国一种新的文旅形式。故选C项。 D Gifts shaping children’s skills carry societal weight. New research led by Mathilde Meyer and Felix Riede suggests that inadequate or outdated toys contributed to the collapse of Norse settlements in Greenland. In 985, Norse settlers from Iceland established communities on Greenland’s fertile coastline, thriving for centuries until the world entered a cold period called the Little Ice Age (1300 — 1400). While the Inuit people who arrived later survived, the Norse had to leave their settlements by 1400. Archaeologists long puzzled over why, as Norse diets increasingly included seafood — contradicting earlier theories about their refusal to adapt. To find an answer, Meyer and Riede conducted a comparative analysis of the toys from both cultures. They examined 72 toys from Norse settlements and a remarkable 2,397 toys from Inuit settlements in similar environmental conditions. The toys were divided into five categories: weapons (such as harpoons and swords), tools (like cooking pots and lamps), transport (boats and sledges), social play (dolls and figurines), and skill play (tops and balls). The results were striking: not only did Inuit children have far more toys, but the variety of their toys was also much greater. For example, while Norse children had only toy arrows, axes, and swords, Inuit children had a wide range of hunting-related toys, including bows, crossbows, and harpoons. As time went on, the gap between the two cultures in terms of toy diversity became even more obvious. From 1000 to 1200, there were 8 social-play toys in Norse settlements compared to 23 in Inuit settlements. By 1200 — 1400, this gap expanded to 11 versus 158. The Inuit continuously increased the number of toys related to sea hunting, such as seal figurines, while the Norse still focused on land-based toys like horse figurines. The researchers argue that Norse reliance on traditional toys hindered children’s ability to innovate in a changing environment. In contrast, the Inuit’s focus on diverse, context-relevant toys equipped children with adaptive skills, ensuring long-term survival. This study serves as a warning: in the game of survival, the toys children play with may shape the fate of a society. 32．What is the central mystery addressed in the passage? A．Why the Norse residents preferred farming to fishing. B．How the Inuit people maintained toy diversity over time. C．Why the Norse settlements collapsed despite seafood diets. D．How climate change affected Greenland’s early inhabitants. 33．How did the researchers carry out their study? A．By defining a new concept. B．By examining previous essays. C．By comparing climate changes. D．By investigating ancient toys. 34．What does the underlined word “hinder” probably mean? A．Promote. B．Prevent. C．Ignore. D．Determine. 35．Which can be the best title of the passage? A．Besides Toys: Society’s Cultural Clues. B．Beyond Culture: the Settlement Factors. C．Rather than Climate: Toy Roles in Collapse. D．More than Play: the Skill-shaping Tools. 【答案】32．C 33．D 34．B 35．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究揭示，在格陵兰岛挪威人因玩具单一限制了儿童适应能力而崩溃，而因纽特人通过多样化玩具培养生存技能，得以在恶劣环境中延续。 32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“While the Inuit people who arrived later survived, the Norse had to leave their settlements by 1400. Archaeologists long puzzled over why, as Norse diets increasingly included seafood — contradicting earlier theories about their refusal to adapt. (虽然后来到达的因纽特人幸存下来，但挪威人不得不在1400年前离开他们的定居点。考古学家长期以来一直困惑于为什么，因为挪威人的饮食中越来越多地包括海鲜——这与早期关于他们拒绝适应环境的理论相矛盾)”可知，研究探究的核心谜团是尽管古挪威人的饮食转向海鲜，他们的定居点为何仍然崩溃。故选C项。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段中“To find an answer, Meyer and Riede conducted a comparative analysis of the toys from both cultures. They examined 72 toys from Norse settlements and a remarkable 2,397 toys from Inuit settlements in similar environmental conditions. (为了找到答案，Meyer和Riede对两种文化的玩具进行了比较分析。他们检查了来自挪威定居点的72个玩具和来自因纽特人定居点的2397个玩具，它们的环境条件相似)”可知，研究者通过研究古代玩具展开探究。故选D项。 34．词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“In contrast, the Inuit’s focus on diverse, context-relevant toys equipped children with adaptive skills, ensuring long-term survival. (相比之下，因纽特人对多样化、与环境相关的玩具的关注使儿童具备了适应技能，确保了长期生存)”可知，挪威人的情况与因纽特人不同，他们依赖传统玩具，这会阻碍儿童的创新能力，画线词意为“阻碍”。A. Promote促进，推动；B. Prevent阻碍，防止；C. Ignore忽略；D. Determine决定。故选B项。 35．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Gifts shaping children’s skills carry societal weight. New research led by Mathilde Meyer and Felix Riede suggests that inadequate or outdated toys contributed to the collapse of Norse settlements in Greenland. (塑造孩子技能的礼物具有社会影响力。Mathilde Meyer和Felix Riede领导的一项新研究表明，不充足或过时的玩具导致了格陵兰岛挪威人定居点的崩溃)”和最后一段中“This study serves as a warning: in the game of survival, the toys children play with may shape the fate of a society. (这项研究是一个警告：在生存的游戏中，孩子们玩的玩具可能会塑造一个社会的命运)”可知，文章介绍了一项研究，该研究聚焦格陵兰岛的挪威人和因纽特人的玩具差异，发现了挪威人因玩具单一限制了儿童适应能力而崩溃，而因纽特人通过多样化玩具培养生存技能，得以在恶劣环境中延续。因此，C项“非关气候：玩具在社会崩溃中的作用”呼应文中对传统气候解释的否定，点明玩具多样性与社会存亡的因果关系，最适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Most of us enjoy travelling, whether we’re traveling abroad, or exploring where we live. Besides relaxation of travel, it is also a wonderful way of learning more about ourselves and strengthening our social bonds. The well-being benefits of travel are what drive us to set off. Most of us follow a routine every day. 36 Travel, whether it is a few days off, or a longer journey, is a way to relax ourselves both emotionally and mentally. Travel is a good chance to better understand ourselves. It helps us develop awareness of not only our own existence, but also our thoughts and surroundings. 37 Moreover, it teaches us what is important and what happiness means to people. Travel also teaches us the significance of communicating with others. Going for a walk with friends in the local countryside helped us realize that time in nature with loved ones is something we’d like to do. 38 To enjoy our travel, several aspects should be taken into consideration. Start by figuring out what we want to gain from the trip. 39 Additionally, consider what we’ve valued about the past trip, and whether this fits with what we want to do now. 40 That could be anything from visiting a new café and trying something on the menu, to challenging a new sport. When back home, keep in mind what we value in this trip. Sometimes, it’s the conversation we have with a local, or the experience of seeing the city from a new perspective that stays in our mind. A．The time we spend in nature brings us more friends. B．Understanding its purpose can help us plan the trip better. C．In other words, it allows us to grasp what kind of persons we are. D．The enjoyment of a day trip can last long after you are back home. E．One of the most important parts of travel is experiencing something new. F．We see the same sights and people, which leaves us feeling bored over time.

For a completely different cultural experience, I highly recommend the Terracotta Warriors in Xi’an. This UNESCO World Heritage site features thousands of life-sized clay soldiers guarding China’s first emperor since 210 BCE. Unlike the Forbidden City’s imperial architecture, these remarkable figures showcase ancient China’s military might and artistic sophistication. Each warrior’s unique facial expression reveals incredible craftsmanship. The site’s archaeological significance makes it one of China’s most valuable cultural treasures. I’m certain you’ll be amazed by this historical wonder. Wishing you another fascinating cultural discovery in China! Yours, Li Hua Dear Chris, How wonderful that you appreciated the Forbidden City! For a contrasting cultural perspective, may I suggest the Classical Gardens of Suzhou? These exquisite UNESCO-listed gardens, dating back to the 6th century, embody China’s traditional scholar aesthetics. While the Forbidden City represents imperial power, Suzhou gardens demonstrate the Chinese philosophy of harmony between man and nature. Their delicate pavilions, winding paths and carefully arranged rocks create peaceful retreats that inspired poets and painters for centuries. I’m sure you’ll find their timeless beauty enchanting.

In early 2020, I planned a trip to the Black Hills in South Dakota and arrived there on June 23rd, not knowing I was about to have an adventure. The most exciting part of my adventure in South Dakota happened on July 5th in Custer. I woke up at 3:47 am, crawled out of my sleeping bag, and ate an energy bar. Then I walked to a hot air balloon company in downtown Custer for a 5 am meeting. There, I met other sleepy tourists who were there for the same reason as me. After filling out some paperwork and paying the fees, we got into a car and were taken to a field, followed by four trucks full of colorful materials. In the field, I got out of the car and watched as four colorful hot air balloons were fitted and inflated (充气). A few minutes later, I climbed into a basket along with other passengers. The basket was divided into four sections around the pilot in the center. Two couples and a family were in the other sections. However, all good things had to come to an end. From the pilot’s radio, I learned that due to a sudden change in the weather, the wind became unstable, and we needed to find a safe place to land quickly. We seemed to be descending (下降) very fast. I noticed the pilot struggling against the wind. He was constantly adjusting the burner and the parachute vent (伞阀) to control the balloon’s descent speed, but the strong wind made it difficult. As we continued to descend, he said, “Everyone, I need you to sit down, face backward, and cover your heads.” We followed his instructions. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The basket shook violently back and forth. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The few seconds, during which the balloon was landing on the grass, was like hours. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The basket shook violently back and forth. We were thrown from side to side as the balloon bounced across the uneven ground. I kept my head covered and held tightly to the edge, feeling the impact with every jolt. One couple cried out, but I focused on staying low and bracing myself. The pilot shouted calm instructions, reminding us not to stand until he gave the all-clear. Dust and grass flew into the air, making it hard to breathe. Finally, the movement slowed, and the balloon came to a stop, half-collapsed on its side. The few seconds, during which the balloon was landing on the grass, was like hours. When the pilot confirmed it was safe, we slowly stood up, shaken but unharmed. Despite the rough landing, everyone felt a sense of relief and even excitement. We had faced an unexpected challenge together. The ground crew arrived quickly, helping us out and beginning the process of packing the balloon. Looking back, though frightening, the experience deepened my appreciation for nature’s unpredictability and the skill of the pilot who kept us safe. 【导语】本文以作者在南达科他州的热气球冒险经历为线索，讲述了2020年夏天作者为躲避南卡罗来纳州的湿热天气，前往南达科他州的布莱克山旅行，7月5日在卡斯特参加热气球活动时，因天气突变、风力不稳，热气球需紧急降落的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句内容“吊篮剧烈地前后摇晃。”可知，第一段可描写热气球篮子在强风中剧烈摇晃，乘客们被抛来抛去，大家按指示保护自己，最终气球侧翻停下的经过。 ② 由第二段首句内容“气球在草地上着陆的那几秒钟，感觉像几个小时一样漫长。”可知，第二段可描写确认安全后乘客们起身，虽受惊吓但无人受伤，地面人员赶来救助，作者对这次经历的感悟。 2. 续写线索：篮子剧烈摇晃——乘客受冲击——气球停下——着陆如隔世——确认安全——众人反应——地面人员救助——感悟 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①抛：throw/toss ②专注：focus on/concentrate on ③回顾：look back/reflect on it now/think back 情绪类 ①惊吓：frightening/scary/alarming ②宽慰：relief/comfort 【点睛】【高分句型1】We were thrown from side to side as the balloon bounced across the uneven ground.
