Giethoorn, Netherlands Given Amsterdam’s obsession with cycling, Giethoorn’s car-free status shouldn’t come as a surprise. The town is located on the northern coast of the Netherlands. Like Amsterdam, small canals run through most of the town — and a large total of 180 bridges allows locals to get around. Fes el-Bali, Morocco Fes is one of Morocco’s largest cities. Its old town is known for its winding, ancient and small streets — they almost look like something out of Harry Potter. Because the streets are so small, cars can’t access the busiest streets. Thousands of carless streets wind in the city center, full of local markets, merchants, and shops. Zermatt, Switzerland Located high in the Swiss Alps near the country’s tallest mountain (Matterhorn), you’ll find a charming old village called Zermatt. Though it resembles other Alpine towns in terms of size and population, there are no cars. This is the result of some careful city-planning, as locals worked together to protect their view. This historic island has been occupied for centuries — you’ll notice this antiquity (古迹) in its cobbled streets. Given its remote nature, there are no cars allowed. La Cumbrecita, Argentina In case you didn’t know, there’s a major Alpine influence in Argentina. This is thanks to the number of central European immigrants who packed up and headed to the country throughout the 20th century. Many sought to recreate elements of their homes in Argentina — particularly its mountainous Calamuchita Valley. This snowy, Alps-inspired town went the way of Zermatt, officially banning cars in order to preserve its quaint (古雅的) charm. 21．Which place might fans of Harry Potter be fond of? A．Giethoorn. B．Fes el-Bali. C．Zermatt. D．La Cumbrecita. 22．For urban scenic preservation, which two countries have cities that ban automobiles? A．Netherlands and Argentina. B．Netherlands and Morocco. C．Morocco and Switzerland. D．Argentina and Switzerland. 23．In which column of a magazine might this article be found? A．Market Pulse. B．Green Futures. C．Urban Mobility. D．Must-See Spots. B At the age of 75, the Italian female traveler Vienna, inspired by Marco Polo as her spiritual model, measured the vast expanse of China’s land with her own feet, painting a vivid picture of cultural exchanges across time and space. Her heart was filled with a thirst for the unknown world and a longing for Chinese culture. This feeling came from an encounter with a Beijing-based international student over two decades ago, and it got stronger upon reading The Travels of Marco Polo. The Ancient Silk Road described in the book served as a link between the East and the West, connecting Vienna’s dreams with reality. In her pursuit of Marco Polo’s footsteps, Vienna encountered loneliness, tiredness, and even life-threatening situations. An encounter with wild dogs in a foreign land left her injured, forcing her to stop her journey for the time being. However, these hardships did not threaten her. Instead, they served as precious trials that made her value each encounter with different cultures even more. While tracing Marco Polo’s footsteps, Vienna also researched deeply into Chinese culture. She visited various Confucius Institutes, engaging in exchanges and learning with local students, therefore gaining a deep understanding of the virtues of “benevolence” and “harmony” contained in Confucianism. To Vienna, both Marco Polo and Confucius were great figures who promoted world peace and exchange. Marco Polo promoted cultural exchange and integration between the East and the West through trade and observation, while Confucius advocated harmony among people with his deep thoughts. Despite being separated by a thousand years, they resonated (产生共鸣) amazingly in Vienna’s journey. 24．What increased Vienna’s desire for Chinese culture? A．Her childhood dream. B．A student from Beijing. C．The book The Travels of Marco Polo. D．Interest in the outside world. 25．Why did Vienna have to stop her journey temporarily? A．She felt extremely lonely and tired. B．She wanted to learn more about local cultures first. C．She was discouraged by the hardships. D．She got hurt in an encounter with wild dogs. 26．What do Marco Polo and Confucius have in common according to Vienna? A．They both advocated peace and exchange. B．They both encouraged travel and adventure. C．They both wrote famous books about China. D．They both promoted harmony through trade. 27．Which of the following best describes Vienna? A．Ambitious and determined. B．Considerate and modest. C．Creative and honest. D．Responsible and generous. C Foods that awaken a sense of nostalgia (怀旧)and comfort are important considerations in prepared meals aimed at older adults, according to new research. “We want to help the prepared food industry produce attractive, healthy meals for older adults,” said Carolyn Ross, a professor. “Malnutrition (营养不良) is quite prevalent in people over 60 because food may be available, but they won’t eat it if they don’t like it. We want to walk a line where food is tasty, convenient, and full of nutrients.” In a recently published paper, Ross and her team developed desirable and nutritious dairy-rich breakfasts and desserts for older adults. They asked 81 people, with an average age of 71, to taste two breakfasts and two desserts. Scientists then asked a series of questions about the meals and individual eating habits. Ross said, “We asked what people thought about when it came to food and nostalgia. Many responses were tied to a person, like their grandmother’s cookies. If a product awakened more nostalgia, then we found that they liked it more.” “Studying food nostalgia is a newer field of food science,” Ross said, “but examining comfort food is a bit more established.” Preference can vary widely due to cultural differences. In this study, whenever people labeled something as a comfort food, they liked it more. One ingredient was commonly placed in the comfort food category: cheese. “Participants’ perceived comfort level decreased if we decreased the flavor level,” Ross said. “When the participants said there wasn’t enough cheese flavor in the meal, then the comfort associated with the meal decreased.” The research team also found that food texture (口感) is important, which is not a new conclusion. “It’s not one specific texture that matters; it’s a variety of textures,” Ross said. “Having a diet with a lot of texture variety, including textures like crispy (酥脆的) and hard, along with soft and creamy foods, really stood out. For older adults, who may not be able to eat the same hard and crispy foods they once could, keeping as much texture variety as possible is still important.” 28．What does the underlined word “prevalent” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Constant. B．Sudden. C．Common. D．Different. 29．What mainly affects people’s food choices according to the study? A．Food textures. B．Food ingredients. C．Individual habits. D．Personal memories. 30．What can we learn from paragraph 5? A．Age influences people’s taste. B．Texture matters more than flavor. C．Less cheese makes food less comforting. D．Comfort food is linked to a sense of nostalgia. 31．What might Ross agree with according to the last paragraph? A．Old people should stick to their favorite texture. B．A variety of textures make food more appealing. C．Old people should avoid hard and crispy textures. D．Soft and creamy textures are important for people. D The story of how coffee was discovered is enveloped in legend, with the most popular tale originating from Ethiopia. The story goes that around the 9th century, a goat herder named Kaldi noticed his goats behaving unusually. They were dancing energetically and refused to sleep after eating red berries from a certain bush. Curious, Kaldi tried the berries himself. To his amazement, he felt a wave of energy and alertness. He reported his finding to a local monastery (修道院). A monk, doubtful of the “magic” berries, threw them into a fire. However, a rich aroma soon filled the air. The roasted beans were quickly rescued, ground up, and dissolved in hot water, creating the first-ever cup of coffee. From Ethiopia, coffee traveled across the Red Sea to the Arab world, particularly Yemen, in the 15th century. Here, it became a staple (主要产品). People began cultivating coffee plants and established the first coffee houses, called “qahveh khaneh”. These places became popular social centers where people discussed politics, played chess, and enjoyed music while drinking the stimulating beverage. The Arabs closely guarded their valuable coffee beans, often boiling or partially roasting them to prevent being planted elsewhere. Coffee finally reached Europe in the 17th century. Initially met with doubt and even called “the bitter invention of Satan”, it needed the Pope’s approval to become acceptable. After tasting it, the Pope found it so satisfying that he gave it his blessing. Later, Coffee houses spread like wildfire across London, Venice, and Paris, becoming centers of intellectual exchange and social activity, much like they were in the Middle East. This was the beginning of coffee’s global journey, eventually making it one of the world’s most beloved drinks today. 32．According to the legend, how was the effect of coffee first discovered? A．A goat herder observed its effect on his goats. B．A monk accidentally created it while praying. C．The Pope tasted it and gave it his blessing. D．Arab traders found it by chance during their travels. 33．According to the passage, how did the Arabs protect their coffee bean supply? A．By making coffee drinking a religious secret. B．By forbidding the common people to cultivate coffee beans. C．By building walls around their coffee farms to guard coffee beans. D．By selling only boiled or partially roasted coffee beans to foreigners. 34．What can be inferred about the Europeans’ role in the history of coffee? A．They were the first to establish coffee houses. B．They played a vital role in beginning coffee’s global journey. C．They used coffee mainly for religious ceremonies. D．They supported coffee export through making related policies. 35．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．The Role of Arabs in Coffee History B．A Legend: How Coffee Was Discovered in Ethiopia C．The Legendary Discovery of Coffee and its Health Benefits D．From Ethiopian Legend to Global Drink: The Story of Coffee 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。 How to eat like the Spanish One of the best things about visiting Spain is the foodie culture. The fresh Mediterranean ingredients make dishes like paella so good that they’re copied around the world. And, while food is taken seriously, the attitude to actually eating is so laid-back. 36 . ●Double breakfast Having not one, but two breakfasts is quite common across many parts of Spain. 37 . And make time mid-morning for a more substantial breakfast, perhaps involving toasted bread with tomatoes and olive oil. ● 38 Lunch, which starts at 2 pm, is the biggest meal of the day and can consist of several courses. This is when you’ll have the best opportunity to enjoy some of the classic Spanish dishes, like rice-based seafood paella, lentil soups and hearty meat stews. ●Afternoon snack Mid-afternoon is the best snacking time in Spain and the perfect excuse to try that great café you spotted the other day. 39 . Coffee is a big part of the afternoon snack but is also enjoyed at breakfast and at the end of larger meals, served after dessert. ●Prepare to eat late 40 . Locals will sit down for their evening meal around 9:30 pm. This is often a lighter meal, so you might see salads, potato omelets, fried potatoes or cured meats on the menu. Many restaurants will open their doors earlier for tourists, but making sure that you eat late at least once will allow you to fully experience eating like the Spanish. A．Fill up at lunch B．Enjoy special dishes C．People will often stay at their restaurant tables for hours D．Here’s a guide to eating your way through the day like the Spanish E．Dinner in Spain takes place later than in any other country in Europe F．Start with a coffee and something small like a cake when you first get up G．Often, some kind of cake or fruit tart is enjoyed with coffee and eaten with friends 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） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last summer, to escape the heat of my home city, I ventured north to Norway, visiting my friend Lars in his ancestral village. Eager to show me local life, he invited me to a family dinner at his grandparents’ wooden house by the water. I accepted with great 41 . The house was cozy, rich with the warm smell of 42 bread and dried fish. A soft evening light spilled through the windows onto the beautifully set table. After the initial warm greetings, we began to eat. The fish soup and dark rye bread were delicious, but I soon noticed something strange: except for the occasional “please pass the butter,” everyone ate in complete 43 . In my culture, where dinner conversation is 44 and constant, a quiet meal often 45 tension or boredom. I felt a growing pressure to 46 the empty silence. Thinking I should be 47 and make everyone comfortable, I started asking Lars’s grandfather about his old fishing boat. He looked up, his blue eyes calm, and answered 48 , with just a few words, and then silence 49 again. I tried another topic, though, with the same 50 . My cheerful efforts to “ 51 the atmosphere” seemed only to drift away like mist. A knot of awkwardness 52 in my stomach; I was certain my chatter had annoyed them. After the meal, as we sipped strong coffee by the stone fireplace, Lars’ grandmother turned to me. She smiled and said softly, “We enjoy the food and each other’s company quietly here. For us, the silence is comfortable and full. It’s not 53 .” Lars then explained that in their coastal culture, shared, wordless companionship is a sign of trust and deep comfort, not a social 54 to be avoided at all costs. I looked into the crackling fire, a wave of understanding washing over me. My well-intentioned performance had been the only true 55 in their peaceful evening. 41．A．enthusiasm B．brilliance C．anxiety D．burden 42．A．carefully-designed B．long-anticipated C．home-made D．round-shaped 43．A．chaos B．harmony C．confidence D．silence 44．A．awkward B．depressing C．lively D．optimistic 45．A．signals B．recalls C．improves D．ends 46．A．encourage B．fill C．initiate D．strengthen 47．A．patient B．humorous C．formal D．polite 48．A．briefly B．loudly C．excitedly D．repeatedly 49．A．broke B．settled C．disappeared D．continued 50．A．severity B．praise C．result D．proof 51．A．break up B．warm up C．turn down D．take in 52．A．exposed B．tightened C．began D．stuck 53．A．complex B．natural C．golden D．blank 54．A．crime B．skill C．failure D．event 55．A．comfort B．convention C．delight D．disturbance 第二节（共10小题；每小题1. 5分, 满分15分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或所给单词的正确形式。 China’s inbound (入境) tourism market has continued to heat up.

As you know, the Chinese are famous for their food. They cook delicious food and obtain a simple pleasure from eating. So, I was not surprised when my new boss invited me out to lunch to celebrate my new job. He said we were going to eat in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. I was nervous. I knew we would be using chopsticks, and while I had tried many times to master the technique, I had completely failed in every attempt. How would I be able to make a good impression? Would I make a complete fool of myself? That evening, I called a friend and asked her to explain exactly how to use chopsticks. She patiently explained the proper way of holding them between the thumb, first and middle fingers.“ It is not that hard,” she said. “That is easy for you to say,” I replied. “You’ve been eating with chopsticks all your life. It is natural for you!” I didn’t get much sleep that evening. I kept turning around in bed all night, worrying about lunch the next day. The next day, I could hardly contain my anxiety. It was difficult to get any work done in the morning. At noon, I left with my boss and two co-workers and headed to the restaurant. We were seated at an excellent table. My boss wrote out the food order, speaking to the server in Chinese. My heart was pounding, but then I noticed a strange thing. Instead of the customary chopsticks, each of us had knives, forks, and spoons. I was confused at first, but then, it hit me. My boss knew that I would have trouble with the chopsticks. He wanted to save me from embarrassment, so he had called ahead and arranged for us to be served with knives and forks. I couldn’t believe how kind and helpful he was. 注意：(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；(2) 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Instantly, I made up my mind and asked the server to bring me a pair of chopsticks. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the end, I wasn’t embarrassed at all. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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 3 Diverse Cultures单元自测·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。每段对话读两遍。 1．What are the speakers going to do?

Giethoorn, Netherlands Given Amsterdam’s obsession with cycling, Giethoorn’s car-free status shouldn’t come as a surprise. The town is located on the northern coast of the Netherlands. Like Amsterdam, small canals run through most of the town — and a large total of 180 bridges allows locals to get around. Fes el-Bali, Morocco Fes is one of Morocco’s largest cities. Its old town is known for its winding, ancient and small streets — they almost look like something out of Harry Potter. Because the streets are so small, cars can’t access the busiest streets. Thousands of carless streets wind in the city center, full of local markets, merchants, and shops. Zermatt, Switzerland Located high in the Swiss Alps near the country’s tallest mountain (Matterhorn), you’ll find a charming old village called Zermatt. Though it resembles other Alpine towns in terms of size and population, there are no cars. This is the result of some careful city-planning, as locals worked together to protect their view. This historic island has been occupied for centuries — you’ll notice this antiquity (古迹) in its cobbled streets. Given its remote nature, there are no cars allowed. La Cumbrecita, Argentina In case you didn’t know, there’s a major Alpine influence in Argentina. This is thanks to the number of central European immigrants who packed up and headed to the country throughout the 20th century. Many sought to recreate elements of their homes in Argentina — particularly its mountainous Calamuchita Valley. This snowy, Alps-inspired town went the way of Zermatt, officially banning cars in order to preserve its quaint (古雅的) charm. 21．Which place might fans of Harry Potter be fond of? A．Giethoorn. B．Fes el-Bali. C．Zermatt. D．La Cumbrecita. 22．For urban scenic preservation, which two countries have cities that ban automobiles? A．Netherlands and Argentina. B．Netherlands and Morocco. C．Morocco and Switzerland. D．Argentina and Switzerland. 23．In which column of a magazine might this article be found? A．Market Pulse. B．Green Futures. C．Urban Mobility. D．Must-See Spots. B At the age of 75, the Italian female traveler Vienna, inspired by Marco Polo as her spiritual model, measured the vast expanse of China’s land with her own feet, painting a vivid picture of cultural exchanges across time and space. Her heart was filled with a thirst for the unknown world and a longing for Chinese culture. This feeling came from an encounter with a Beijing-based international student over two decades ago, and it got stronger upon reading The Travels of Marco Polo. The Ancient Silk Road described in the book served as a link between the East and the West, connecting Vienna’s dreams with reality. In her pursuit of Marco Polo’s footsteps, Vienna encountered loneliness, tiredness, and even life-threatening situations. An encounter with wild dogs in a foreign land left her injured, forcing her to stop her journey for the time being. However, these hardships did not threaten her. Instead, they served as precious trials that made her value each encounter with different cultures even more. While tracing Marco Polo’s footsteps, Vienna also researched deeply into Chinese culture. She visited various Confucius Institutes, engaging in exchanges and learning with local students, therefore gaining a deep understanding of the virtues of “benevolence” and “harmony” contained in Confucianism. To Vienna, both Marco Polo and Confucius were great figures who promoted world peace and exchange. Marco Polo promoted cultural exchange and integration between the East and the West through trade and observation, while Confucius advocated harmony among people with his deep thoughts. Despite being separated by a thousand years, they resonated (产生共鸣) amazingly in Vienna’s journey. 24．What increased Vienna’s desire for Chinese culture? A．Her childhood dream. B．A student from Beijing. C．The book The Travels of Marco Polo. D．Interest in the outside world. 25．Why did Vienna have to stop her journey temporarily? A．She felt extremely lonely and tired. B．She wanted to learn more about local cultures first. C．She was discouraged by the hardships. D．She got hurt in an encounter with wild dogs. 26．What do Marco Polo and Confucius have in common according to Vienna? A．They both advocated peace and exchange. B．They both encouraged travel and adventure. C．They both wrote famous books about China. D．They both promoted harmony through trade. 27．Which of the following best describes Vienna? A．Ambitious and determined. B．Considerate and modest. C．Creative and honest. D．Responsible and generous. C Foods that awaken a sense of nostalgia (怀旧)and comfort are important considerations in prepared meals aimed at older adults, according to new research. “We want to help the prepared food industry produce attractive, healthy meals for older adults,” said Carolyn Ross, a professor. “Malnutrition (营养不良) is quite prevalent in people over 60 because food may be available, but they won’t eat it if they don’t like it. We want to walk a line where food is tasty, convenient, and full of nutrients.” In a recently published paper, Ross and her team developed desirable and nutritious dairy-rich breakfasts and desserts for older adults. They asked 81 people, with an average age of 71, to taste two breakfasts and two desserts. Scientists then asked a series of questions about the meals and individual eating habits. Ross said, “We asked what people thought about when it came to food and nostalgia. Many responses were tied to a person, like their grandmother’s cookies. If a product awakened more nostalgia, then we found that they liked it more.” “Studying food nostalgia is a newer field of food science,” Ross said, “but examining comfort food is a bit more established.” Preference can vary widely due to cultural differences. In this study, whenever people labeled something as a comfort food, they liked it more. One ingredient was commonly placed in the comfort food category: cheese. “Participants’ perceived comfort level decreased if we decreased the flavor level,” Ross said. “When the participants said there wasn’t enough cheese flavor in the meal, then the comfort associated with the meal decreased.” The research team also found that food texture (口感) is important, which is not a new conclusion. “It’s not one specific texture that matters; it’s a variety of textures,” Ross said. “Having a diet with a lot of texture variety, including textures like crispy (酥脆的) and hard, along with soft and creamy foods, really stood out. For older adults, who may not be able to eat the same hard and crispy foods they once could, keeping as much texture variety as possible is still important.” 28．What does the underlined word “prevalent” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Constant. B．Sudden. C．Common. D．Different. 29．What mainly affects people’s food choices according to the study? A．Food textures. B．Food ingredients. C．Individual habits. D．Personal memories. 30．What can we learn from paragraph 5? A．Age influences people’s taste. B．Texture matters more than flavor. C．Less cheese makes food less comforting. D．Comfort food is linked to a sense of nostalgia. 31．What might Ross agree with according to the last paragraph? A．Old people should stick to their favorite texture. B．A variety of textures make food more appealing. C．Old people should avoid hard and crispy textures. D．Soft and creamy textures are important for people. D The story of how coffee was discovered is enveloped in legend, with the most popular tale originating from Ethiopia. The story goes that around the 9th century, a goat herder named Kaldi noticed his goats behaving unusually. They were dancing energetically and refused to sleep after eating red berries from a certain bush. Curious, Kaldi tried the berries himself. To his amazement, he felt a wave of energy and alertness. He reported his finding to a local monastery (修道院). A monk, doubtful of the “magic” berries, threw them into a fire. However, a rich aroma soon filled the air. The roasted beans were quickly rescued, ground up, and dissolved in hot water, creating the first-ever cup of coffee. From Ethiopia, coffee traveled across the Red Sea to the Arab world, particularly Yemen, in the 15th century. Here, it became a staple (主要产品). People began cultivating coffee plants and established the first coffee houses, called “qahveh khaneh”. These places became popular social centers where people discussed politics, played chess, and enjoyed music while drinking the stimulating beverage. The Arabs closely guarded their valuable coffee beans, often boiling or partially roasting them to prevent being planted elsewhere. Coffee finally reached Europe in the 17th century. Initially met with doubt and even called “the bitter invention of Satan”, it needed the Pope’s approval to become acceptable. After tasting it, the Pope found it so satisfying that he gave it his blessing. Later, Coffee houses spread like wildfire across London, Venice, and Paris, becoming centers of intellectual exchange and social activity, much like they were in the Middle East. This was the beginning of coffee’s global journey, eventually making it one of the world’s most beloved drinks today. 32．According to the legend, how was the effect of coffee first discovered? A．A goat herder observed its effect on his goats. B．A monk accidentally created it while praying. C．The Pope tasted it and gave it his blessing. D．Arab traders found it by chance during their travels. 33．According to the passage, how did the Arabs protect their coffee bean supply? A．By making coffee drinking a religious secret. B．By forbidding the common people to cultivate coffee beans. C．By building walls around their coffee farms to guard coffee beans. D．By selling only boiled or partially roasted coffee beans to foreigners. 34．What can be inferred about the Europeans’ role in the history of coffee? A．They were the first to establish coffee houses. B．They played a vital role in beginning coffee’s global journey. C．They used coffee mainly for religious ceremonies. D．They supported coffee export through making related policies. 35．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．The Role of Arabs in Coffee History B．A Legend: How Coffee Was Discovered in Ethiopia C．The Legendary Discovery of Coffee and its Health Benefits D．From Ethiopian Legend to Global Drink: The Story of Coffee 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。 How to eat like the Spanish One of the best things about visiting Spain is the foodie culture. The fresh Mediterranean ingredients make dishes like paella so good that they’re copied around the world. And, while food is taken seriously, the attitude to actually eating is so laid-back. 36 . ●Double breakfast Having not one, but two breakfasts is quite common across many parts of Spain. 37 . And make time mid-morning for a more substantial breakfast, perhaps involving toasted bread with tomatoes and olive oil. ● 38 Lunch, which starts at 2 pm, is the biggest meal of the day and can consist of several courses. This is when you’ll have the best opportunity to enjoy some of the classic Spanish dishes, like rice-based seafood paella, lentil soups and hearty meat stews. ●Afternoon snack Mid-afternoon is the best snacking time in Spain and the perfect excuse to try that great café you spotted the other day. 39 . Coffee is a big part of the afternoon snack but is also enjoyed at breakfast and at the end of larger meals, served after dessert. ●Prepare to eat late 40 . Locals will sit down for their evening meal around 9:30 pm. This is often a lighter meal, so you might see salads, potato omelets, fried potatoes or cured meats on the menu. Many restaurants will open their doors earlier for tourists, but making sure that you eat late at least once will allow you to fully experience eating like the Spanish. A．Fill up at lunch B．Enjoy special dishes C．People will often stay at their restaurant tables for hours D．Here’s a guide to eating your way through the day like the Spanish E．Dinner in Spain takes place later than in any other country in Europe F．Start with a coffee and something small like a cake when you first get up G．Often, some kind of cake or fruit tart is enjoyed with coffee and eaten with friends 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） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last summer, to escape the heat of my home city, I ventured north to Norway, visiting my friend Lars in his ancestral village. Eager to show me local life, he invited me to a family dinner at his grandparents’ wooden house by the water. I accepted with great 41 . The house was cozy, rich with the warm smell of 42 bread and dried fish. A soft evening light spilled through the windows onto the beautifully set table. After the initial warm greetings, we began to eat. The fish soup and dark rye bread were delicious, but I soon noticed something strange: except for the occasional “please pass the butter,” everyone ate in complete 43 . In my culture, where dinner conversation is 44 and constant, a quiet meal often 45 tension or boredom. I felt a growing pressure to 46 the empty silence. Thinking I should be 47 and make everyone comfortable, I started asking Lars’s grandfather about his old fishing boat. He looked up, his blue eyes calm, and answered 48 , with just a few words, and then silence 49 again. I tried another topic, though, with the same 50 . My cheerful efforts to “ 51 the atmosphere” seemed only to drift away like mist. A knot of awkwardness 52 in my stomach; I was certain my chatter had annoyed them. After the meal, as we sipped strong coffee by the stone fireplace, Lars’ grandmother turned to me. She smiled and said softly, “We enjoy the food and each other’s company quietly here. For us, the silence is comfortable and full. It’s not 53 .” Lars then explained that in their coastal culture, shared, wordless companionship is a sign of trust and deep comfort, not a social 54 to be avoided at all costs. I looked into the crackling fire, a wave of understanding washing over me. My well-intentioned performance had been the only true 55 in their peaceful evening. 41．A．enthusiasm B．brilliance C．anxiety D．burden 42．A．carefully-designed B．long-anticipated C．home-made D．round-shaped 43．A．chaos B．harmony C．confidence D．silence 44．A．awkward B．depressing C．lively D．optimistic 45．A．signals B．recalls C．improves D．ends 46．A．encourage B．fill C．initiate D．strengthen 47．A．patient B．humorous C．formal D．polite 48．A．briefly B．loudly C．excitedly D．repeatedly 49．A．broke B．settled C．disappeared D．continued 50．A．severity B．praise C．result D．proof 51．A．break up B．warm up C．turn down D．take in 52．A．exposed B．tightened C．began D．stuck 53．A．complex B．natural C．golden D．blank 54．A．crime B．skill C．failure D．event 55．A．comfort B．convention C．delight D．disturbance 第二节（共10小题；每小题1. 5分, 满分15分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或所给单词的正确形式。 China’s inbound (入境) tourism market has continued to heat up.

As you know, the Chinese are famous for their food. They cook delicious food and obtain a simple pleasure from eating. So, I was not surprised when my new boss invited me out to lunch to celebrate my new job. He said we were going to eat in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. I was nervous. I knew we would be using chopsticks, and while I had tried many times to master the technique, I had completely failed in every attempt. How would I be able to make a good impression?

To get started, I suggest focusing on the four major roles in traditional Chinese opera: Sheng, Dan, Jing, and Chou. Also, watching short clips of Peking Opera or reading simple summaries of classic plays like The Peony Pavilion will give you a good feel for the art form. If you’d like, we can meet after school this week to go over key points together! Wish you great success in the contest — you’ve got both curiosity and talent, so I’m sure you’ll do wonderfully! Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） Paragraph 1: Instantly, I made up my mind and asked the server to bring me a pair of chopsticks. As soon as they were brought in front me, I took them carefully in my hand. I looked over at my boss and we exchanged a smile. With determination, I grasped the chopsticks and attempted to pick up some rice and a piece of meat. However, my fingers slipped and the food fell back onto the plate. I was swamped with a sense of embarrassment due to my failed attempts. At that moment, I saw my boss giving me a reassuring nod, which motivated me to keep trying. I plucked up the courage and tried again, determined to master this skill. Through trial and error, I gradually got the hang of using chopsticks. Paragraph 2: In the end, I wasn’t embarrassed at all. I was glad that my new boss was so thoughtful that he could take everything into consideration. And I was really happy that I had decided to ask for chopsticks. After that, we often went out for lunch in that restaurant. Despite facing a number of challenges, I persevered in my attempts to use chopsticks. With the help of my friend and the patience of my boss, I was able to overcome my fear of using chopsticks and practice until I became proficient. It struck me that diversity is not about how we differ, but about embracing one another’s uniqueness. 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 $ Unit 3 Diverse Cultures单元自测·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。每段对话读两遍。 1．What are the speakers going to do?

Students who want to compete will sign up during PE lessons. Any students who aren’t competing in the sporting events will be cheering on the players. If the weather conditions permit, both participants and spectators will be on the school field for around three and a half hours in the afternoon. So, it is important for every child to prepare a hat to beat the heat. If the weather is really poor, we will announce a decision to cancel the activity three days in advance. In that case, students will continue their studies.

Giethoorn, Netherlands Given Amsterdam’s obsession with cycling, Giethoorn’s car-free status shouldn’t come as a surprise. The town is located on the northern coast of the Netherlands. Like Amsterdam, small canals run through most of the town — and a large total of 180 bridges allows locals to get around. Fes el-Bali, Morocco Fes is one of Morocco’s largest cities. Its old town is known for its winding, ancient and small streets — they almost look like something out of Harry Potter. Because the streets are so small, cars can’t access the busiest streets. Thousands of carless streets wind in the city center, full of local markets, merchants, and shops. Zermatt, Switzerland Located high in the Swiss Alps near the country’s tallest mountain (Matterhorn), you’ll find a charming old village called Zermatt. Though it resembles other Alpine towns in terms of size and population, there are no cars. This is the result of some careful city-planning, as locals worked together to protect their view. This historic island has been occupied for centuries — you’ll notice this antiquity (古迹) in its cobbled streets. Given its remote nature, there are no cars allowed. La Cumbrecita, Argentina In case you didn’t know, there’s a major Alpine influence in Argentina. This is thanks to the number of central European immigrants who packed up and headed to the country throughout the 20th century. Many sought to recreate elements of their homes in Argentina — particularly its mountainous Calamuchita Valley. This snowy, Alps-inspired town went the way of Zermatt, officially banning cars in order to preserve its quaint (古雅的) charm. 21．Which place might fans of Harry Potter be fond of? A．Giethoorn. B．Fes el-Bali. C．Zermatt. D．La Cumbrecita. 22．For urban scenic preservation, which two countries have cities that ban automobiles? A．Netherlands and Argentina. B．Netherlands and Morocco. C．Morocco and Switzerland. D．Argentina and Switzerland. 23．In which column of a magazine might this article be found? A．Market Pulse. B．Green Futures. C．Urban Mobility. D．Must-See Spots. 【答案】21．B 22．D 23．D 【导语】这是一篇应用文，文章介绍了世界各地独特的无车区城市。 21．细节理解题。根据Fes el-Bali, Morocco部分中“Its old town is known for its winding, ancient and small streets — they almost look like something out of Harry Potter.(它的老城区以弯弯曲曲、古老而狭窄的街道而闻名——它们看起来几乎就像《哈利·波特》里的东西)”可知，《哈利·波特》粉丝可能会喜欢Fes El Bali，故选B。 22．细节理解题。根据Zermatt, Switzerland部分中“Given its remote nature, there are no cars allowed.(鉴于其偏远的性质，不允许开车)”和La Cumbrecita, Argentina部分中“This snowy, Alps-inspired town went the way of Zermatt, officially banning cars in order to preserve its quaint (古雅的) charm.(这个受阿尔卑斯山影响的白雪皑皑的小镇走上了采尔马特的道路，为了保持其古朴的魅力，官方禁止汽车通行)”可知，为了保护城市风景，瑞士和阿根廷都有禁止汽车的城市，故选D。 23．推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合第一段“Let’s take a closer look at some of the world’s most unique car-free zones.(让我们来仔细看看世界上最独特的无车区)”可知，文章介绍了世界各地独特的无车区，属于旅游或景点介绍，可能出自杂志的必看景点栏目，故选D。 B At the age of 75, the Italian female traveler Vienna, inspired by Marco Polo as her spiritual model, measured the vast expanse of China’s land with her own feet, painting a vivid picture of cultural exchanges across time and space. Her heart was filled with a thirst for the unknown world and a longing for Chinese culture. This feeling came from an encounter with a Beijing-based international student over two decades ago, and it got stronger upon reading The Travels of Marco Polo. The Ancient Silk Road described in the book served as a link between the East and the West, connecting Vienna’s dreams with reality. In her pursuit of Marco Polo’s footsteps, Vienna encountered loneliness, tiredness, and even life-threatening situations. An encounter with wild dogs in a foreign land left her injured, forcing her to stop her journey for the time being. However, these hardships did not threaten her. Instead, they served as precious trials that made her value each encounter with different cultures even more. While tracing Marco Polo’s footsteps, Vienna also researched deeply into Chinese culture. She visited various Confucius Institutes, engaging in exchanges and learning with local students, therefore gaining a deep understanding of the virtues of “benevolence” and “harmony” contained in Confucianism. To Vienna, both Marco Polo and Confucius were great figures who promoted world peace and exchange. Marco Polo promoted cultural exchange and integration between the East and the West through trade and observation, while Confucius advocated harmony among people with his deep thoughts. Despite being separated by a thousand years, they resonated (产生共鸣) amazingly in Vienna’s journey. 24．What increased Vienna’s desire for Chinese culture? A．Her childhood dream. B．A student from Beijing. C．The book The Travels of Marco Polo. D．Interest in the outside world. 25．Why did Vienna have to stop her journey temporarily? A．She felt extremely lonely and tired. B．She wanted to learn more about local cultures first. C．She was discouraged by the hardships. D．She got hurt in an encounter with wild dogs. 26．What do Marco Polo and Confucius have in common according to Vienna? A．They both advocated peace and exchange. B．They both encouraged travel and adventure. C．They both wrote famous books about China. D．They both promoted harmony through trade. 27．Which of the following best describes Vienna? A．Ambitious and determined. B．Considerate and modest. C．Creative and honest. D．Responsible and generous. 【答案】24．C 25．D 26．A 27．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了75岁的意大利女旅行者Vienna，以马可·波罗为精神榜样，怀揣着对中国文化的向往踏上中国之旅的故事，介绍了她旅途中遭遇的困难，以及她对中国文化进行的深入探索。 24．细节理解题。根据第二段“This feeling came from an encounter with a Beijing-based international student over two decades ago, and it got stronger upon reading The Travels of Marco Polo. (这种情愫源于二十多年前与一名北京留学生的邂逅，而在阅读《马可·波罗游记》后变得愈发强烈)”可知，是《马可·波罗游记》这本书增强了Vienna对中国文化的渴望。故选C。 25．细节理解题。根据第三段“An encounter with wild dogs in a foreign land left her injured, forcing her to stop her journey for the time being (在异国他乡遭遇野狗袭击让她受了伤，迫使她暂时停下了旅程)”可知，Vienna暂时停止旅程的原因是被野狗咬伤。故选D。 26．细节理解题。根据第四段“To Vienna, both Marco Polo and Confucius were great figures who promoted world peace and exchange (在Vienna看来，马可·波罗和孔子都是推动世界和平与交流的伟大人物)”可知，Vienna认为马可·波罗和孔子的共同点是二人都倡导和平与交流。故选A。 27．推理判断题。根据第一段“At the age of 75, the Italian female traveler Vienna, inspired by Marco Polo as her spiritual model, measured the vast expanse of China’s land with her own feet (75岁的意大利女旅行者Vienna，以马可·波罗为精神榜样，用双脚丈量着中国辽阔的土地)”以及第三段“However, these hardships did not threaten her. Instead, they served as precious trials (然而，这些艰难困苦并未吓退她，反而成了宝贵的考验)”可知，Vienna年逾古稀仍坚持追寻梦想，面对困难毫不退缩，是一个有抱负且意志坚定的人。故选A。 C Foods that awaken a sense of nostalgia (怀旧)and comfort are important considerations in prepared meals aimed at older adults, according to new research. “We want to help the prepared food industry produce attractive, healthy meals for older adults,” said Carolyn Ross, a professor. “Malnutrition (营养不良) is quite prevalent in people over 60 because food may be available, but they won’t eat it if they don’t like it. We want to walk a line where food is tasty, convenient, and full of nutrients.” In a recently published paper, Ross and her team developed desirable and nutritious dairy-rich breakfasts and desserts for older adults. They asked 81 people, with an average age of 71, to taste two breakfasts and two desserts. Scientists then asked a series of questions about the meals and individual eating habits. Ross said, “We asked what people thought about when it came to food and nostalgia. Many responses were tied to a person, like their grandmother’s cookies. If a product awakened more nostalgia, then we found that they liked it more.” “Studying food nostalgia is a newer field of food science,” Ross said, “but examining comfort food is a bit more established.” Preference can vary widely due to cultural differences. In this study, whenever people labeled something as a comfort food, they liked it more. One ingredient was commonly placed in the comfort food category: cheese. “Participants’ perceived comfort level decreased if we decreased the flavor level,” Ross said. “When the participants said there wasn’t enough cheese flavor in the meal, then the comfort associated with the meal decreased.” The research team also found that food texture (口感) is important, which is not a new conclusion. “It’s not one specific texture that matters; it’s a variety of textures,” Ross said. “Having a diet with a lot of texture variety, including textures like crispy (酥脆的) and hard, along with soft and creamy foods, really stood out. For older adults, who may not be able to eat the same hard and crispy foods they once could, keeping as much texture variety as possible is still important.” 28．What does the underlined word “prevalent” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Constant. B．Sudden. C．Common. D．Different. 29．What mainly affects people’s food choices according to the study? A．Food textures. B．Food ingredients. C．Individual habits. D．Personal memories. 30．What can we learn from paragraph 5? A．Age influences people’s taste. B．Texture matters more than flavor. C．Less cheese makes food less comforting. D．Comfort food is linked to a sense of nostalgia. 31．What might Ross agree with according to the last paragraph? A．Old people should stick to their favorite texture. B．A variety of textures make food more appealing. C．Old people should avoid hard and crispy textures. D．Soft and creamy textures are important for people. 【答案】28．C 29．D 30．C 31．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了针对老年人的预制餐中唤起怀旧和舒适感的食物的重要性及相关研究。 28．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Malnutrition(营养不良) is quite prevalent in people over 60 because food may be available, but they won’t eat it if they don’t like it.(营养不良在60岁以上的人群中相当prevalent，因为虽然食物可能唾手可得，但如果他们不喜欢，就不会吃。)”可知，60岁以上的人群中，他们不喜欢吃的食物，他们就不会吃，所以在60岁以上的人群中营养不良很常见，所以prevalent意思是“常见的”。故选C。 29．细节理解题。根据第四段中“We asked what people thought about when it came to food and nostalgia. Many responses were tied to a person, like their grandmother’s cookies. If a product awakened more nostalgia, then we found that they liked it more.(我们问人们在谈到食物和怀旧时会想到什么。许多回答都与一个人有关，比如他们祖母的饼干。如果一个产品唤起了更多的怀旧感，那么我们发现他们更喜欢它。)”可知，根据这项研究，个人记忆主要影响人们的食物选择。故选D。 30．细节理解题。根据第五段中“One ingredient was commonly placed in the comfort food category: cheese. “Participants’ perceived comfort level decreased if we decreased the flavor level,” Ross said. “When the participants said there wasn’t enough cheese flavor in the meal, then the comfort associated with the meal decreased.”(有一种成分通常被归为安慰食品类别：奶酪。“如果我们降低味道水平，参与者感知到的舒适度就会降低，”罗斯说。“当参与者说餐食中奶酪的味道不够时，与餐食相关的舒适度就会降低。”)”可知，奶酪越少，食物就越不令人舒适。故选C。 31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“The research team also found that food texture (口感) is important, which is not a new conclusion. “It’s not one specific texture that matters; it’s a variety of textures,” Ross said. “Having a diet with a lot of texture variety, including textures like crispy (酥脆的) and hard, along with soft and creamy foods, really stood out. For older adults, who may not be able to eat the same hard and crispy foods they once could, keeping as much texture variety as possible is still important.”(研究团队还发现，食物的口感也十分重要，这并非一个全新的结论。罗斯说：“关键不在于某一种特定的口感，而在于口感的多样性。饮食中若能包含多种口感，既有酥脆、坚硬的质地，又有柔软、绵密的口感，就会格外受欢迎。对于那些或许无法再享用曾经喜爱的坚硬酥脆食物的老年人而言，尽可能保持饮食的口感多样性依然至关重要。”)”可知，罗斯认为各种各样的口感使食物更有吸引力。故选B。 D The story of how coffee was discovered is enveloped in legend, with the most popular tale originating from Ethiopia. The story goes that around the 9th century, a goat herder named Kaldi noticed his goats behaving unusually. They were dancing energetically and refused to sleep after eating red berries from a certain bush. Curious, Kaldi tried the berries himself. To his amazement, he felt a wave of energy and alertness. He reported his finding to a local monastery (修道院). A monk, doubtful of the “magic” berries, threw them into a fire. However, a rich aroma soon filled the air. The roasted beans were quickly rescued, ground up, and dissolved in hot water, creating the first-ever cup of coffee. From Ethiopia, coffee traveled across the Red Sea to the Arab world, particularly Yemen, in the 15th century. Here, it became a staple (主要产品). People began cultivating coffee plants and established the first coffee houses, called “qahveh khaneh”. These places became popular social centers where people discussed politics, played chess, and enjoyed music while drinking the stimulating beverage. The Arabs closely guarded their valuable coffee beans, often boiling or partially roasting them to prevent being planted elsewhere. Coffee finally reached Europe in the 17th century. Initially met with doubt and even called “the bitter invention of Satan”, it needed the Pope’s approval to become acceptable. After tasting it, the Pope found it so satisfying that he gave it his blessing. Later, Coffee houses spread like wildfire across London, Venice, and Paris, becoming centers of intellectual exchange and social activity, much like they were in the Middle East. This was the beginning of coffee’s global journey, eventually making it one of the world’s most beloved drinks today. 32．According to the legend, how was the effect of coffee first discovered? A．A goat herder observed its effect on his goats. B．A monk accidentally created it while praying. C．The Pope tasted it and gave it his blessing. D．Arab traders found it by chance during their travels. 33．According to the passage, how did the Arabs protect their coffee bean supply? A．By making coffee drinking a religious secret. B．By forbidding the common people to cultivate coffee beans. C．By building walls around their coffee farms to guard coffee beans. D．By selling only boiled or partially roasted coffee beans to foreigners. 34．What can be inferred about the Europeans’ role in the history of coffee? A．They were the first to establish coffee houses. B．They played a vital role in beginning coffee’s global journey. C．They used coffee mainly for religious ceremonies. D．They supported coffee export through making related policies. 35．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．The Role of Arabs in Coffee History B．A Legend: How Coffee Was Discovered in Ethiopia C．The Legendary Discovery of Coffee and its Health Benefits D．From Ethiopian Legend to Global Drink: The Story of Coffee 【答案】32．A 33．D 34．B 35．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了咖啡从埃塞俄比亚的传说起源到成为全球流行饮品的历程。 32．细节理解题。根据第一段中“The story goes that around the 9th century, a goat herder named Kaldi noticed his goats behaving unusually. They were dancing energetically and refused to sleep after eating red berries from a certain bush.(传说在9世纪左右，一个名叫卡尔迪的牧羊人注意到他的羊行为异常。它们吃了某种灌木上的红色浆果后，精力充沛地跳舞，拒绝睡觉。)”以及第二段中“Curious, Kaldi tried the berries himself. To his amazement, he felt a wave of energy and alertness.(出于好奇，卡尔迪自己尝了尝浆果。令他惊讶的是，他感到一阵能量和警觉。)”可知，根据传说，咖啡的效果最初是一个牧羊人观察他的羊吃了浆果后的反应而发现的。故选A。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The Arabs closely guarded their valuable coffee beans, often boiling or partially roasting them to prevent being planted elsewhere.(阿拉伯人严密保护他们珍贵的咖啡豆，经常将它们煮沸或部分烘烤，以防止在其他地方种植。)”可知，阿拉伯人通过只卖煮过或部分烘烤过的咖啡豆给外国人来保护他们的咖啡豆供应。故选D。 34．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Later, Coffee houses spread like wildfire across London, Venice, and Paris, becoming centers of intellectual exchange and social activity, much like they were in the Middle East. This was the beginning of coffee’s global journey, eventually making it one of the world’s most beloved drinks today.(后来，咖啡馆像野火一样在伦敦、威尼斯和巴黎蔓延，成为知识交流和社交活动的中心，就像在中东一样。这是咖啡全球之旅的开始，最终使它成为当今世界上最受欢迎的饮品之一。)”可知，欧洲人在咖啡的全球之旅中扮演了重要角色。故选B。 35．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“The story of how coffee was discovered is enveloped in legend, with the most popular tale originating from Ethiopia.(咖啡是如何被发现的这个故事被笼罩在传说之中，最受欢迎的故事起源于埃塞俄比亚。)”以及最后一段中“This was the beginning of coffee’s global journey, eventually making it one of the world’s most beloved drinks today.(这是咖啡全球之旅的开始，最终使它成为当今世界上最受欢迎的饮品之一。)”可知，文章主要介绍了咖啡从埃塞俄比亚的传说起源到成为全球流行饮品的历程。可知，D选项“From Ethiopian Legend to Global Drink: The Story of Coffee (从埃塞俄比亚传说到全球饮品：咖啡的故事)”最适合作为文章标题。故选D。 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。 How to eat like the Spanish One of the best things about visiting Spain is the foodie culture.

Coffee is a big part of the afternoon snack but is also enjoyed at breakfast and at the end of larger meals, served after dessert. ●Prepare to eat late 40 . Locals will sit down for their evening meal around 9:30 pm. This is often a lighter meal, so you might see salads, potato omelets, fried potatoes or cured meats on the menu. Many restaurants will open their doors earlier for tourists, but making sure that you eat late at least once will allow you to fully experience eating like the Spanish. A．Fill up at lunch B．Enjoy special dishes C．People will often stay at their restaurant tables for hours D．Here’s a guide to eating your way through the day like the Spanish E．Dinner in Spain takes place later than in any other country in Europe F．Start with a coffee and something small like a cake when you first get up G．Often, some kind of cake or fruit tart is enjoyed with coffee and eaten with friends 【答案】36．D 37．F 38．A 39．G 40．E 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章通过总分结构介绍了西班牙独特的日常饮食文化，依次描述了其“双早餐”、“丰盛午餐”、“午后小吃”及“晚餐时间晚”四大特点，旨在为读者提供一份体验西班牙式饮食的指南。 36．该空位于第一段末尾，需承上启下。前文“One of the best things about visiting Spain is the foodie culture. The fresh Mediterranean ingredients make dishes like paella so good that they’re copied around the world. And, while food is taken seriously, the attitude to actually eating is so laid-back.(游览西班牙最棒的体验之一便是其地道的美食文化。新鲜的地中海食材使得像海鲜饭这样的菜肴美味无比，甚至风靡全球。尽管他们对食物本身十分讲究，但实际的用餐态度却格外慵懒随意。) ”总体赞扬了西班牙的美食文化和悠闲的用餐态度，后文则开始按时间顺序详细介绍一日饮食的具体安排。D项“这是一份像西班牙人一样度过一天饮食的指南”既能总结前文引入的主题，又能自然引出下文分时间段的详细介绍，起到总领全文的作用。故选D。 37．该空位于“双早餐”部分。后句提到“And make time mid-morning for a more substantial breakfast, perhaps involving toasted bread with tomatoes and olive oil.(并在上午中段留出时间享用一顿更丰盛的早餐，比如来一份淋上番茄和橄榄油的烤面包。)”，可见前句应描述第一顿早餐。F项“起床后先喝点咖啡，吃点像蛋糕这样的小东西”准确地描述了西班牙常见的简便晨间早餐，与后文的“更丰盛的早餐”构成了“双早餐”的完整描述，逻辑连贯。故选F。 38．该空是第三部分的小标题。该段“Lunch, which starts at 2 pm, is the biggest meal of the day and can consist of several courses. This is when you’ll have the best opportunity to enjoy some of the classic Spanish dishes, like rice-based seafood paella, lentil soups and hearty meat stews.(午餐在下午两点开始，这是一天中最丰盛的一餐，可能包含多道菜肴。此时您能品尝到最经典的西班牙美食，例如以米饭为底的海鲜饭、扁豆汤和丰盛的炖肉。)”主要内容是午餐在下午2点开始，是一天中最丰盛的一餐，包含多道菜肴。A项“午餐吃饱”简洁有力地概括了本段核心——午餐的丰盛及其作为主餐的地位。故选A。 39．该空位于“Afternoon snack(午后小吃)”部分。前句“Mid-afternoon is the best snacking time in Spain and the perfect excuse to try that great café you spotted the other day.(在西班牙，午后三点左右是最佳的休闲小吃时光，也是你去那家早就留意到的绝妙咖啡馆坐坐的绝佳理由。)”提到午后是吃小吃的最佳时间，后句“Coffee is a big part of the afternoon snack but is also enjoyed at breakfast and at the end of larger meals, served after dessert.(咖啡是午后小吃的重要组成部分，也同样常见于早餐时段，或是在享用大餐、甜点之后饮用。)”则强调咖啡是午后小吃的重要部分。G项“通常，人们会与朋友一起享用某种蛋糕或水果馅饼，并搭配咖啡”具体描述了午后小吃的典型内容（蛋糕/馅饼）和社交属性，完美嵌入上下文，补充了“吃什么”的细节。故选G。 40．该空位于“Prepare to eat late(准备晚吃)”部分的开头。后文“Locals will sit down for their evening meal around 9: 30 pm. This is often a lighter meal, so you might see salads, potato omelets, fried potatoes or cured meats on the menu. Many restaurants will open their doors earlier for tourists, but making sure that you eat late at least once will allow you to fully experience eating like the Spanish.(当地人通常在晚上9点半左右才坐下来用晚餐。这顿饭通常较为清淡，所以你可能会在菜单上看到沙拉、土豆煎蛋卷、炸土豆或腌肉等菜肴。许多餐馆会为游客提前开放，但确保至少体验一次晚用餐，才能让你完整感受像西班牙人一样用餐的滋味。)”详细说明当地人约晚上9:30才用晚餐，并描述了晚餐的食物。E项“西班牙的晚餐时间比欧洲任何其他国家都晚”直接点明了本段主旨，即西班牙晚餐时间之晚是一个突出特点，能够有效引出后文的详细解释。故选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） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last summer, to escape the heat of my home city, I ventured north to Norway, visiting my friend Lars in his ancestral village.

The house was cozy, rich with the warm smell of 42 bread and dried fish. A soft evening light spilled through the windows onto the beautifully set table. After the initial warm greetings, we began to eat. The fish soup and dark rye bread were delicious, but I soon noticed something strange: except for the occasional “please pass the butter,” everyone ate in complete 43 . In my culture, where dinner conversation is 44 and constant, a quiet meal often 45 tension or boredom. I felt a growing pressure to 46 the empty silence. Thinking I should be 47 and make everyone comfortable, I started asking Lars’s grandfather about his old fishing boat. He looked up, his blue eyes calm, and answered 48 , with just a few words, and then silence 49 again. I tried another topic, though, with the same 50 . My cheerful efforts to “ 51 the atmosphere” seemed only to drift away like mist. A knot of awkwardness 52 in my stomach; I was certain my chatter had annoyed them. After the meal, as we sipped strong coffee by the stone fireplace, Lars’ grandmother turned to me. She smiled and said softly, “We enjoy the food and each other’s company quietly here. For us, the silence is comfortable and full. It’s not 53 .” Lars then explained that in their coastal culture, shared, wordless companionship is a sign of trust and deep comfort, not a social 54 to be avoided at all costs. I looked into the crackling fire, a wave of understanding washing over me. My well-intentioned performance had been the only true 55 in their peaceful evening. 41．A．enthusiasm B．brilliance C．anxiety D．burden 42．A．carefully-designed B．long-anticipated C．home-made D．round-shaped 43．A．chaos B．harmony C．confidence D．silence 44．A．awkward B．depressing C．lively D．optimistic 45．A．signals B．recalls C．improves D．ends 46．A．encourage B．fill C．initiate D．strengthen 47．A．patient B．humorous C．formal D．polite 48．A．briefly B．loudly C．excitedly D．repeatedly 49．A．broke B．settled C．disappeared D．continued 50．A．severity B．praise C．result D．proof 51．A．break up B．warm up C．turn down D．take in 52．A．exposed B．tightened C．began D．stuck 53．A．complex B．natural C．golden D．blank 54．A．crime B．skill C．failure D．event 55．A．comfort B．convention C．delight D．disturbance 【答案】 41．A 42．C 43．D 44．C 45．A 46．B 47．D 48．A 49．B 50．C 51．B 52．B 53．D 54．C 55．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述作者去朋友祖父家吃饭时一直试图打破沉默，活跃气氛，最后才了解到在朋友的文化中，进餐时无需言语的相互陪伴是信任和内心深处的安心的体现。 41．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我热情地接受了。A. enthusiasm热情；B. brilliance光辉；C. anxiety焦虑；D. burden负担。根据上文“he invited me to a family dinner”和下文“After the initial warm greetings”可知，作者受邀去吃晚饭，下文提到热情打招呼，故作者热情地接受了邀请，故选A。 42．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这房子很温馨，弥漫着自家制作的面包和干鱼散发出的温暖香气。A. carefully-designed精心设计的；B. long-anticipated期盼已久的；C. home-made家里制作的；D. round-shaped圆形的。根据上文“a family dinner at his grandparents’ wooden house”可知，作者受邀去Lars祖父家共进晚餐，故此处指“自家制作的面包”，故选C。 43．考查名词词义辨析。句意：鱼汤和黑麦面包味道极佳，但我很快发现了一些奇怪的现象：除了偶尔有人会说“请把黄油递给我”之外，其他人吃饭时都保持着完全的安静。A. chaos混乱；B. harmony和谐；C. confidence信心；D. silence沉默。根据上文“except for the occasional “please pass the butter,””和下文“the empty silence”可知，吃饭时除了偶尔有人说话，其他人都保持沉默，故选D。 44．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：在我的文化中，人们在用餐时的交谈气氛热烈且持续不断，而如果一顿饭吃得安静无声，往往意味着存在紧张或无聊的情况。A. awkward令人尴尬的；B. depressing令人沮丧的；C. lively活跃热情的；D. optimistic乐观的。根据上文“I soon noticed something strange”和空后的“constant”可知，作者对于用餐时的安静感到奇怪，由此推知在作者的文化中人们在用餐时的交谈气氛热烈，故选C。 45．考查动词词义辨析。句意：同上。A. signals表示；B. recalls回忆；C. improves提高；D. ends结束。根据上文“dinner conversation is ____4____ and constant”和下文“tension or boredom”可知，在作者的文化中用餐时会一直说话，安静地用餐表示存在紧张或无聊的情况，故选A。 46．考查动词词义辨析。句意：我感到一种越来越强烈的紧迫感，想要填补这空荡荡的寂静。A. encourage鼓励；B. fill填满；C. initiate开始，发起；D. strengthen加强。根据下文“I started asking Lars’s grandfather about his old fishing boat”可知，作者开始说话填补空荡荡的寂静，故选B。 47．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：想着自己应该表现得礼貌些，让大家都感到自在些，于是我便开始向Lars的祖父询问他那艘老旧的渔船的相关情况。A. patient有耐心的；B. humorous幽默的；C. formal正式的；D. polite礼貌的。根据下文“and make everyone comfortable”和语境可知，作者开始说话打破沉默是为了保持礼貌，让大家愉快，故选D。 48．考查副词词义辨析。句意：他抬起头来，蓝色的眼睛平静地望着前方，简短地回答了几句，然后又是一阵沉默。A. briefly简短地；B. loudly大声地；C. excitedly兴奋地；D. repeatedly重复地。根据下文“with just a few words”可知，他简短地回答作者的问题，故选A。 49．考查动词词义辨析。句意：同上。A. broke打破；B. settled定居，降落，停留；C. disappeared消失；D. continued继续。根据下文“I tried another topic”可知，祖父简短地回答了问题，下文提到作者又开启了一个话题，故此处指“沉默再次出现、停留”，故选B。 50．考查名词词义辨析。句意：不过，我还是尝试了另一个话题，结果还是那样。A. severity严重；B. praise赞扬；C. result结果；D. proof证据。根据下文“My cheerful efforts to “____11____ the atmosphere” seemed only to drift away like mist.”可知，作者的努力收效甚微，故作者尝试另一个话题后结果还是一样，故选C。 51．考查动词短语辨析。句意：我试图“活跃气氛”的热情举动，却似乎就像薄雾一般渐渐消散了。A. break up分手；B. warm up（使）活跃起来，热情起来；C. turn down拒绝；D. take in吸收。根据上文“I started asking Lars’s grandfather about his old fishing boat”和“I tried another topic”可知，饭桌上作者一直尝试打破沉默，使气氛活跃起来，故选B。 52．考查动词词义辨析。句意：我的心头莫名地涌起一阵尴尬之感；我确信自己的喋喋不休让他们感到不悦了。A. exposed暴露；B. tightened加强，拧紧；C. began开始；D. stuck卡住。根据下文“I was certain my chatter had annoyed them”可知，此处指尴尬的心结揪紧，故选B。 53．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：它不是空白的。A. complex复杂的；B. natural自然的；C. golden金色的；D. blank空白的。根据上文“the silence is comfortable and full”可知，沉默是有意义的，不是空白，此处和“full”形成对比，故选D。 54．考查名词词义辨析。句意：Lars接着解释道，在他们的沿海文化中，这种共享的、无需言语的相互陪伴是信任和内心深处的安心的体现，而非需要竭尽全力去避免的社交失败。A. crime罪行；B. skill技巧；C. failure失败；D. event事件。根据上文“shared, wordless companionship is a sign of trust and deep comfort”可知，没有人说话不意味着社交失败，故选C。 55．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我出于好意所做的举动，却是他们这个宁静夜晚中唯一的一次真正干扰。A. comfort安慰；B. convention公约，协定；C. delight高兴；D. disturbance打扰，干扰。根据上文“shared, wordless companionship is a sign of trust and deep comfort”可知，共享的、无需言语的相互陪伴是信任和内心深处的安心的体现，所以作者一直说话是打扰，故选D。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1. 5分, 满分15分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或所给单词的正确形式。 China’s inbound (入境) tourism market has continued to heat up.

As you know, the Chinese are famous for their food. They cook delicious food and obtain a simple pleasure from eating. So, I was not surprised when my new boss invited me out to lunch to celebrate my new job. He said we were going to eat in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. I was nervous. I knew we would be using chopsticks, and while I had tried many times to master the technique, I had completely failed in every attempt. How would I be able to make a good impression? Would I make a complete fool of myself? That evening, I called a friend and asked her to explain exactly how to use chopsticks. She patiently explained the proper way of holding them between the thumb, first and middle fingers.“ It is not that hard,” she said. “That is easy for you to say,” I replied. “You’ve been eating with chopsticks all your life. It is natural for you!” I didn’t get much sleep that evening. I kept turning around in bed all night, worrying about lunch the next day. The next day, I could hardly contain my anxiety. It was difficult to get any work done in the morning. At noon, I left with my boss and two co-workers and headed to the restaurant. We were seated at an excellent table. My boss wrote out the food order, speaking to the server in Chinese. My heart was pounding, but then I noticed a strange thing. Instead of the customary chopsticks, each of us had knives, forks, and spoons. I was confused at first, but then, it hit me. My boss knew that I would have trouble with the chopsticks. He wanted to save me from embarrassment, so he had called ahead and arranged for us to be served with knives and forks. I couldn’t believe how kind and helpful he was. 注意：(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；(2) 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Instantly, I made up my mind and asked the server to bring me a pair of chopsticks. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the end, I wasn’t embarrassed at all. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Paragraph 1: Instantly, I made up my mind and asked the server to bring me a pair of chopsticks. As soon as they were brought in front me, I took them carefully in my hand. I looked over at my boss and we exchanged a smile. With determination, I grasped the chopsticks and attempted to pick up some rice and a piece of meat. However, my fingers slipped and the food fell back onto the plate. I was swamped with a sense of embarrassment due to my failed attempts. At that moment, I saw my boss giving me a reassuring nod, which motivated me to keep trying. I plucked up the courage and tried again, determined to master this skill. Through trial and error, I gradually got the hang of using chopsticks. Paragraph 2: In the end, I wasn’t embarrassed at all. I was glad that my new boss was so thoughtful that he could take everything into consideration. And I was really happy that I had decided to ask for chopsticks. After that, we often went out for lunch in that restaurant. Despite facing a number of challenges, I persevered in my attempts to use chopsticks. With the help of my friend and the patience of my boss, I was able to overcome my fear of using chopsticks and practice until I became proficient. It struck me that diversity is not about how we differ, but about embracing one another’s uniqueness. 【导语】本文以时间为线索展开，讲述了作者得到了温哥华一家加拿大华人公司的工作，并被新老板邀请共进午餐进行庆祝。作者担心自己不会用筷子，为此焦虑不安，还给朋友打电话请教了，但焦虑并未缓解，作者甚至整夜未眠。第二天午餐时，作者惊讶地发现餐桌上提供了刀叉而非筷子。原来，老板提前安排了刀叉，因为他知道作者用筷子有困难，不想让作者感到尴尬。作者对老板的善解人意深感感激。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我立刻下定决心，让服务员给我拿一双筷子来”可知，第一段可描写作者勇敢地使用筷子，遇到了一点挫折，但在老板的鼓励下继续尝试，逐渐掌握了技巧。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，我一点也不尴尬”可知，第二段可描写作者对自己真的用了筷子感到高兴，之后常去那家餐馆用餐，坚持使用筷子，最后能够熟练使用，以及从这次经历中作者意识到文化多样性的意义。 2. 续写线索：作者决定尝试筷子——作者用筷子受挫——老板鼓励，作者取得进步——作者觉得不尴尬——作者坚持尝试筷子并成功掌握——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①抓住：grasp/hold ②鼓励：motivate/encourage/inspire ③掌握：master/command ④考虑：take sth. into consideration/take sth. into account ⑤克服：overcome/conquer 情绪类 ①尴尬：embarrassment/awkwardness/uneasiness ②高兴的：glad/happy/delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1] As soon as they were brought in front me, I took them carefully in my hand.
