I had prepared by reading online about trips to China before, yet my experience still surprised me. My first big surprise happened in Suzhou, our first host city. I had heard it called the “Venice (威尼斯) of the East” and imagined a small town with quiet canals (运河). As soon as I stepped out of the railway station, I was shocked. Suzhou was so huge and modern! Our school stood near ancient canals, where I saw tall glass buildings next to old wooden boats. It felt strange to see both a “village” and a “city” in one place. This contrast (对比) made us look at the city with fresh eyes. Later, we saw an even stronger contrast in Beijing. My host family lived near the hutongs. These narrow alleys were full of traditional life. Just a short walk away, modern skyscrapers rose into the sky. People say many hutongs are disappearing each year. How lucky we were to visit them! After these surprises, of course, there were challenges. The biggest one was the language barrier. Simple words like “homework” or “bus stop” were sometimes hard to communicate. Translation apps became my best friends. They helped most of the time, though sometimes the results were funny. Still, I met kindness everywhere. A stranger helped me find my way during a rainy day at the Summer Palace. A student at a cafe in Beijing spoke English so well that I almost forgot I was abroad. These moments showed me how friendly Chinese people were. In the end, this exchange trip was not just about studying; it was also about understanding a culture and making friends. I enjoyed every moment and truly can’t wait to visit China again! 1．What surprised the writer about Suzhou? A．It was as quiet and small as a village. B．It looked exactly like Venice in Italy. C．There were no tall buildings at all. D．It had both modern buildings and old waterways. 2．What was the biggest challenge the writer met in China? A．Homework. B．Bus stop. C．Language barrier.

B．Be prepared for both surprises and challenges. C．Avoid using translation apps because they are not helpful. D．Stay only with people who speak perfect English. 5．Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A．The contrast between Suzhou and Beijing. B．My fantastic exchange trip to China.

I had read comments online about trips to China before, yet our experience still surprised me. Our first big surprise happened in Suzhou. Many people call Suzhou the “Venice (威尼斯) of the East,” so I pictured a small town with quiet rivers. As soon as we stepped out of the railway station, we were shocked. Suzhou was so huge and modern! Tall glass buildings stood beside old waterways and wooden boats. It felt strange to see both a “village” and a “city” in one place. This contrast made us look at the city with fresh eyes. Later, we saw an even stronger contrast in Beijing. The hutongs showed the traditional side of the city. A short walk away, modern skyscrapers (摩天大楼) rose into the sky. People say many hutongs are disappearing each year. How lucky we were to visit them! After these surprises, we faced a challenge: the language problem. Simple words like “toilet” or “passport” were not always understood. Translation apps became our closest friends, though sometimes the results were funny. Still, we met people who spoke good English in the most unexpected moments. A stranger at the Summer Palace helped us during heavy rain. A young man in an Apple Store in Shanghai sounded like a native speaker. These moments showed a friendly side of China. In the end, this trip gave us many stories to remember. We enjoyed every moment, and we really can’t wait to go back to China! 1．What did the writer imagine Suzhou to be like before the trip? A．A small town with quiet rivers.

At the Yuanmingyuan Ruins Park, I tried a special tour using VR technology (技术). It was the world’s first VR tour of Yuanmingyuan. Thanks to today’s technology, the tour looks quite real, with everything the size of real ones. It shows what Yuanmingyuan is like through eight units. With light “glasses” on, I stepped into history excitedly, with the stones around me turning into a great palace—the “Garden of Gardens”! I could “walk” through famous Yuanmingyuan scenery like Jiuzhou Qingyan and Guanshuifa. I joined in the immersive (沉浸式地) activity of “Qianlong’s Garden Tour”. Along the way, I saw the cute “Guardian Dragon” and completed fun activities such as collecting “Time Fragments”. This was unlike what other VR experiences could give. I really felt like walking in Yuanmingyuan seeing the beautiful lakes and trees. From some workers there, I knew this project was from Daxiang Merged Media. And it is the opening work of “Chinese Cultural Heritage VR Large Space”. The creative team worked hard on the forty scenes of Yuanmingyuan. After the trip, I knew better about Chinese buildings and culture. To me, it’s not only an interesting VR game but also a meaningful trip.

D．Get more information about ancient gardens. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者在圆明园遗址公园体验全球首个VR游览的经历，讲述了项目特点及此次体验带来的文化感悟与探索兴趣。 1．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Thanks to today’s technology, the tour looks quite real, with everything the size of real ones. It shows what Yuanmingyuan is like through eight units.”可知，代词“It”通常指代前文最近的核心名词。前一句的主语是“the tour”（VR游览），因此这里的“It”指代的是这场VR游览，符合“这个游览通过八个单元展示圆明园”的语境。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Thanks to today’s technology, the tour looks quite real, with everything the size of real ones.”可知，作者提到VR游览看起来很真实，原因是所有事物都和真实尺寸一致。故选B。 3．观点态度题。根据第三段“I joined in the immersive (沉浸式地) activity of ‘Qianlong’s Garden Tour’.

To me, it’s not only an interesting VR game but also a meaningful trip. I expected to explore more about these gardens’ history and designs.”可知，作者在文末表达了对园林历史与设计的进一步探索意愿，因此接下来最可能的行为是深入了解古代园林的相关信息。故选D。 Linda, a 14-year-old girl, is a student from an English middle school.

Dad took me to visit the Shanghai Natural History Museum. Back then, it was in an old building on Yan’an Road. Dad used to work at a seafood processing factory. As we walked past the fish specimens, he was excited to share his knowledge. “This fish sells fast,” he told me. “It tastes great.” The other visitors turned to stare (盯着) at us as we walked on. But when we were back in the hall to see the dinosaurs carefully, Dad was silent. Clearly, these giants couldn’t be eaten. (If they were still alive, we might be on their menu!) The star exhibit was a Mamenchisaurus (马门溪龙). It stood 22 meters tall and held its long neck high. I couldn’t take my eyes off it. Many questions raced through my mind: What did it do all day? How much did it eat? What was our planet like when it was alive? And why did it—and all the other dinosaurs—disappear? In 2015, the Natural History Museum moved to Jing’an. To celebrate the tenth birthday of its new home, it’s hosting a special dinosaur exhibition where you can see a Mamenchisaurus. But it’s a little different from the one I saw in the old museum. Over time, scientists have learned more about these dinosaurs. Now they believe they couldn’t hold up their long necks very high. There are still many unknowns about these ancient animals. We keep guessing and piecing together the puzzle. As we learn about their world, we also learn more about our own. Dinosaurs ruled the Earth for about 165 million years. Will humans ever break this record? 1．The other visitors stared at the author and his father because ________. A．the author asked many interesting questions B．the father knew a lot about the Mamenchisaurus C．the father made strange comments about the fish D．the author looked at the Mamenchisaurus for a long time 2．When he looked at the Mamenchisaurus, the author probably felt ________.

A．It’s much taller. B．It’s a bit smaller. C．It has colorful skin. D．Its neck is not lifted as high. 4．We can learn from the article that human beings ________. A．will live longer on Earth than dinosaurs B．have lived on Earth for 165 million years C．will disappear from Earth sooner or later D．will continue to learn more about dinosaurs 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者13岁时和父亲参观上海自然博物馆的经历，以及新馆恐龙展的变化，表达了对恐龙的好奇和对人类探索未知的思考。 1．细节理解题。根据“As we walked past the fish specimens, he was excited to share his knowledge. ‘This fish sells fast,’ he told me. ‘It tastes great.’ The other visitors turned to stare at us as we walked on.”可知，父亲对鱼类标本做出“好卖、好吃”的奇怪评价，引来其他游客注视，故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据“I couldn’t take my eyes off it. Many questions raced through my mind: What did it do all day? How much did it eat?…”可知，作者被马门溪龙吸引，脑海里涌现诸多疑问，由此推测他的心情是好奇又惊讶的，故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“Now they believe they couldn’t hold up their long necks very high.”可知，现在展览的马门溪龙脖子不像作者小时候看到的那样抬得高，故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据“There are still many unknowns about these ancient animals. We keep guessing and piecing together the puzzle.”可知，人类会继续了解更多关于恐龙的知识，故选D。 “As a new Shenzhener, being led to check out the history of my city is really a wonderful experience,” said a participant in her online blog, after she took part in a cultural tour led by Mary Ann O’Donnell, an American anthropologist (人类学家) who has been based in Shenzhen since the 1990s. The Shuiwei tour, organized by Handshake 302, a public art organization, was one of a series of tours that will take visitors to a total of seven places of cultural and historical importance in Shenzhen. Take Metro Line 4 or 7, get off at Fumin Station, walk a few steps, and you will get to the heart of Shuiwei. “What’s important is not what did or did not happen, but how the stories we tell become history, and how we use the history to shape our identities,” said O’Donnell. Along the years, people in Shuiwei made a living by fishing and producing sea salt. However, the practical influence of “water” gradually fell off. Around the 1980s, villagers travelled to and from Hong Kong by boat to buy daily necessities or unusual objects and resell them in Shenzhen. Meanwhile, village renovation (革新) and industrialization (工业化) turned Shuiwei into a landlocked region. The village soon changed its livelihood from fishing and agriculture (农业) to manufacturing (制造业) and real estate (房地产业). Hand-shake buildings are everywhere. The rock museum in the village, which exhibits hundreds of valuable rocks collected from all over the world, also shows the transition from “water” to “Iand” in Shuiwei’s cultural geography, according to O’Donnell. 1．How many metro lines which can take visitors to the heart of Shuiwei? A．2. B．3. C．4. D．7. 2．What did the writer mention to show the importance of  “water” in people’s lives in Shuiwei? A．hand-shake buildings. B．the rock museum. C．fishing and producing sea salt. D．manufacturing and real estate. 3．What can we learn from the passage about Mary Ann O’Donnell? A．She came from America and has lived in Shenzhen for 31 years. B．She has organized tours to a total of seven places in Shenzhen. C．She thinks history is closely connected to people’s identities. D．She believes people in Shuiwei lived a much better life in the 1980s. 4．What does the underlined word “transition” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．价值 B．转变 C．渊源 D．典故 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．Stories—Becoming History B．Tours—Unknown Worth C．Handshake 302—Spreading Culture D．Shuiwei—Water or Land? 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．C 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了深圳水围村的文化导览活动，讲述了水围村从依赖“水”的渔村向“陆地”产业转型的历史变迁，以及相关的文化探索。 1．细节理解题。根据“Take Metro Line 4 or 7, get off at Fumin Station, walk a few steps, and you will get to the heart of Shuiwei.”可知，有4号线和7号线两条地铁线路可以到达水围村中心。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“Along the years, people in Shuiwei made a living by fishing and producing sea salt.”可知，作者提到捕鱼和制盐，以此说明“水”在水围村人生活中的重要性。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“What’s important is not what did or did not happen, but how the stories we tell become history, and how we use the history to shape our identities.”可知，她认为历史与人们的身份认同紧密相关。故选C。 4．词句猜测题。根据前文“the village soon changed its livelihood from fishing and agriculture to manufacturing and real estate”以及“from ‘water’ to ‘land’ in Shuiwei’s cultural geography”可知，这里指水围村从依赖“水”到依赖“陆地”的“转变”。故选B。 5．最佳标题题。据全文内容，尤其是水围村从 “水” 到 “陆地” 的转型，以及相关的文化探索，标题“Shuiwei—Water or Land?”最能概括文章核心。故选D。 ◇考点 02 重难语篇提升练 The Three Gorges Dam (三峡大坝), lying on the Yangtze River in Hubei Province, is one of the largest and most amazing engineering projects in the world. It stands proudly between the beautiful mountains of Xiling Gorge, showing the wisdom and hard work of the Chinese people. The Yangtze River, China’s longest river, often caused serious floods in the past, bringing disasters to millions of people. To solve this problem and create clean energy, the Chinese government decided to build a huge dam. People began to build the Three Gorges Dam in 1994. And it took over 12 years to complete. Thousands of workers used modern machines and technology to make this dream come true. They moved mountains, changed the river’s path (路径) to build the dam, which is about 2.3 kilometers long and 185 meters high—as tall as a 60-story building! Today, the dam plays a key role in China. It has greatly reduced flood risks, protecting cities and farmlands. The dam’s power stations produce clean electricity for millions of homes and factories, helping reduce air pollution. Its connected vessel system (连通器系统) helps ships pass. Ships enter a lock (水闸), and gates close. Water level inside the lock rises or falls to match the next section. When the water levels become the same, gates open, and the ship moves to the next lock. The Three Gorges Dam is not just a dam—it’s a symbol of China’s courage and creativity. Visitors from around the world come to see this modern wonder. Students learn about its scientific achievements and the spirit of teamwork behind it. The dam teaches us that with determination (决心), humans can overcome even the most difficult challenges of nature. 1．What are the uses of the Three Gorges Dam according to the passage? ①Controlling floods        ②Producing clean energy ③Creating new tourist places    ④Improving ship transportation A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 2．What physics principle (原理) allows ships to pass through the dam’s gates smoothly?

The success of earlier parks has made it easier for more global brands (全球品牌) to set up in Shanghai. For example, Shanghai Disney Resort welcomes over 14 million visitors each year and the number continues to grow. It opened the world’s first Zootopia-themed land in December 2023. At the same time, LEGOLAND Shanghai Resort is preparing to open this summer. As of March, the company said 80 percent of its ride facilities (设施) had been completed. The park will include eight themed areas with 2,889 LEGO models made from over 85 million LEGO bricks. It’ll include special Chinese feature. For example, it will be the world’s first “Monkie Kid” area, based on the classical Chinese novel Journey to the West. John Jakobsen, chief operating officer of LEGOLAND Resort, said the company chose Shanghai because the Yangtze River Delta, which also includes Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces, may include nearly 55 million possible customers, showing the strength of China’s consumer (消费) market. Two more global theme parks are also coming to Shanghai. Warner Bros has teamed up with Jinjiang International, China’s major travel company, to build a “Making of Harry Potter” studio tour. Planned to open in 2027 with an investment of 2.8 billion yuan, this will be the first of its kind in China and the third in the world. Unlike the ones in London and Tokyo, it will include Chinese colour and new digital technology. Another theme park, based on the popular cartoon show Peppa Pig, is also being planned, adding to Shanghai’s growing theme park scene. China will speed up major investment projects and work harder to support new types of cultural businesses and develop the tourism industry, according to the 2025 Government Work Report. “China has a huge customer base of young people and young families who are strongly interested in new and wonderful entertainment experiences and are willing to pay the bill for high-quality joyful times,” said Dai Bin, president of the China Tourism Academy. Theme parks in China are also attracting older visitors. Many elderly people now enjoy going to theme parks as the attractions begin to better meet the needs of different age groups. At Shanghai Disney Resort, the number of elderly visitors who bought one-day and two-day tickets in 2023 rose by about 75 percent compared with 2019. Shanghai’s fast-growing theme parks, like “Harry Potter” and “Peppa Pig” projects, show China’s big market and government-supported growth. By mixing culture with new ideas, they are changing fun parks around the world. They have a brighter future. 1．What does the word “feature” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Quality. B．Colour. C．Support. D．Value. 2．According to Jakobsen, why did LEGOLAND Resorts choose Shanghai for its new park? A．Because of the beautiful environment in Shanghai. B．Because of the history and traditional culture in Shanghai. C．Because Shanghai may attract large numbers of customers. D．Because it can get more support from the Chinese government. 3．What’s the purpose of the article? A．To report on Shanghai’s growing theme parks. B．To compare different theme parks in Shanghai. C．To warn about Shanghai’s over-investment in theme parks. D．To receive a lot of support of developing cultural industry. 4．What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the future of Shanghai’s theme park? A．Hopeful. B．Worried. C．Curious. D．Uncertain. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．A 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了上海成为国际主题公园公司投资的热门地点，并分析了其背后的市场潜力和发展前景。 1．词义猜测题。根据文章第三段“It’ll include special Chinese feature. For example, it will be the world’s first “Monkie Kid” area, based on the classical Chinese novel Journey to the West.”可知，“悟空小侠”区域基于经典中国小说《西游记》，说明这个区域融合了中国特色，由此可知feature应与quality“特征”意思相近。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第四段John Jakobsen的话“the company chose Shanghai because the Yangtze River Delta...may include nearly 55 million possible customers, showing the strength of China’s consumer (消费) market.”可知，选择上海是因为长三角地区可能包括近5500万潜在客户，这显示了中国消费者市场的实力，这说明选择上海的原因是庞大的潜在客户群。故选C。 3．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文围绕上海主题公园的发展展开，列举迪士尼、乐高乐园等案例，并提到政府支持（2025年政府工作报告）和市场需求（年轻家庭、老年游客增长），由此可知本文目的是报道上海主题公园的蓬勃发展。故选A。 4．观点态度题。根据文章“They have a brighter future.”可知，作者认为上海主题公园的未来是明亮的，由此可知作者的态度是充满希望的。故选A。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 2 Amazing China 单元话题阅读理解练习 单元话题：中国城市，旅游景点 本资料共10篇专题训练，从上到下依次按照难度分为基础语篇巩固练和重难语篇提升练 基础语篇巩固练 聚焦基础，巩固自我 重难语篇提升练 专注提升，挑战自我 ◇考点 01 基础语篇巩固练 Stamp collecting is now a big hobby for young people to remember their travels.

A．①②④ B．②③⑤ C．②⑤⑥ D．①⑤⑥ My exchange trip to China felt like a fantasy movie. I had prepared by reading online about trips to China before, yet my experience still surprised me. My first big surprise happened in Suzhou, our first host city. I had heard it called the “Venice (威尼斯) of the East” and imagined a small town with quiet canals (运河). As soon as I stepped out of the railway station, I was shocked. Suzhou was so huge and modern! Our school stood near ancient canals, where I saw tall glass buildings next to old wooden boats. It felt strange to see both a “village” and a “city” in one place. This contrast (对比) made us look at the city with fresh eyes. Later, we saw an even stronger contrast in Beijing. My host family lived near the hutongs. These narrow alleys were full of traditional life. Just a short walk away, modern skyscrapers rose into the sky. People say many hutongs are disappearing each year. How lucky we were to visit them! After these surprises, of course, there were challenges. The biggest one was the language barrier. Simple words like “homework” or “bus stop” were sometimes hard to communicate. Translation apps became my best friends. They helped most of the time, though sometimes the results were funny. Still, I met kindness everywhere. A stranger helped me find my way during a rainy day at the Summer Palace. A student at a cafe in Beijing spoke English so well that I almost forgot I was abroad. These moments showed me how friendly Chinese people were. In the end, this exchange trip was not just about studying; it was also about understanding a culture and making friends. I enjoyed every moment and truly can’t wait to visit China again! 1．What surprised the writer about Suzhou? A．It was as quiet and small as a village. B．It looked exactly like Venice in Italy.

B．Be prepared for both surprises and challenges. C．Avoid using translation apps because they are not helpful. D．Stay only with people who speak perfect English. 5．Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A．The contrast between Suzhou and Beijing. B．My fantastic exchange trip to China. C．The friendly and kind Chinese. D．The challenges in my exchange trip. Our trip to China felt like a fantasy movie. I had read comments online about trips to China before, yet our experience still surprised me. Our first big surprise happened in Suzhou. Many people call Suzhou the “Venice (威尼斯) of the East,” so I pictured a small town with quiet rivers. As soon as we stepped out of the railway station, we were shocked. Suzhou was so huge and modern! Tall glass buildings stood beside old waterways and wooden boats. It felt strange to see both a “village” and a “city” in one place. This contrast made us look at the city with fresh eyes. Later, we saw an even stronger contrast in Beijing. The hutongs showed the traditional side of the city. A short walk away, modern skyscrapers (摩天大楼) rose into the sky. People say many hutongs are disappearing each year. How lucky we were to visit them! After these surprises, we faced a challenge: the language problem. Simple words like “toilet” or “passport” were not always understood. Translation apps became our closest friends, though sometimes the results were funny. Still, we met people who spoke good English in the most unexpected moments. A stranger at the Summer Palace helped us during heavy rain. A young man in an Apple Store in Shanghai sounded like a native speaker. These moments showed a friendly side of China. In the end, this trip gave us many stories to remember. We enjoyed every moment, and we really can’t wait to go back to China! 1．What did the writer imagine Suzhou to be like before the trip? A．A small town with quiet rivers.

A．The Hutongs in Beijing B．A Fantastic Trip to China C．The Friendly Side of China D．A Visit to the Venice of the East Last July, I visited Old Town of Lijiang with my family. It was an amazing place. The town is full of old buildings made of wood. We walked along the narrow stone streets. There were also lots of cute little bridges over the canals along the streets. And we also saw many small shops selling beautiful handicrafts (手工艺品). Old Town of Lijiang is also known for its old buildings with special culture. The Naxi people live here and have their own language and traditions. We tasted local snacks and traditional Naxi dishes. They were delicious! The Black Dragon Pool is a popular place of natural interest. It’s a big pool with clear water and a beautiful view. Behind it, there is the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (玉龙雪山). We walked around the pool and enjoyed the peaceful view. At night, the town became very amazing. Colorful lanterns along the streets were lit up (被点亮). The local Naxi people performed Naxi music and danced in the streetlight. I felt like I traveled back in ancient times. The Old Town of Lijiang is a perfect place to experience history, culture, and natural beauty. I can’t wait to visit it again. 1．When did the writer visit the Old Town of Lijiang? A．Last spring.

At the Yuanmingyuan Ruins Park, I tried a special tour using VR technology (技术). It was the world’s first VR tour of Yuanmingyuan. Thanks to today’s technology, the tour looks quite real, with everything the size of real ones. It shows what Yuanmingyuan is like through eight units. With light “glasses” on, I stepped into history excitedly, with the stones around me turning into a great palace—the “Garden of Gardens”! I could “walk” through famous Yuanmingyuan scenery like Jiuzhou Qingyan and Guanshuifa. I joined in the immersive (沉浸式地) activity of “Qianlong’s Garden Tour”. Along the way, I saw the cute “Guardian Dragon” and completed fun activities such as collecting “Time Fragments”. This was unlike what other VR experiences could give. I really felt like walking in Yuanmingyuan seeing the beautiful lakes and trees. From some workers there, I knew this project was from Daxiang Merged Media. And it is the opening work of “Chinese Cultural Heritage VR Large Space”. The creative team worked hard on the forty scenes of Yuanmingyuan. After the trip, I knew better about Chinese buildings and culture. To me, it’s not only an interesting VR game but also a meaningful trip. I expected to explore more about these gardens’ history and designs. 1．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A．The park. B．Today’s technology. C．The tour.

Linda, a 14-year-old girl, is a student from an English middle school. But now she is on an exchange trip in Xi’an, China. She is there with her classmates and teachers from her school. The exchange trip can help them experience a different culture and learn history outside the classroom. Xi’an is a city with a long history. Linda wanted to learn about it. So she went to a museum. She saw many ancient artifacts (文物) there. She also learnt about the importance of Xi’an in Chinese history. Xi’an is also a beautiful city. It has many famous places. Linda went to Grand Tang Dynasty Ever Bright City (大唐不夜城). There, she took photos in hanfu. It was beautiful and Linda liked it very much. She also enjoyed the local food in Xi’an, such as Rou Jia Mo, Cold Noodles, Biang biang Noodles. Her favourite local food is Rou Jia Mo. It’s similar to the hamburger, but the taste is quite different. The people in Xi’an are very nice. Linda met some middle school students from Xi’an and made friends with them. “They are very nice. I have a good time with them,” she said. Xi’an is a great place. Linda can’t wait to ask her friends to visit it. “I like Xi’an and they’ll like it too,” she said. 1．Where does Linda come from? A．China. B．India. C．England. D．Russia. 2．What did Linda do in Xi’an on this exchange trip? A．She went to a museum. B．She painted on Xuan paper. C．She visited a good friend. D．She learned Chinese festivals. 3．What does Linda think of the people in Xi’an? A．Talented. B．Nice. C．Great. D．Different. 4．How is the article organized? A． B． C． D． It was a summer day when I was about 13. Dad took me to visit the Shanghai Natural History Museum. Back then, it was in an old building on Yan’an Road. Dad used to work at a seafood processing factory. As we walked past the fish specimens, he was excited to share his knowledge. “This fish sells fast,” he told me. “It tastes great.” The other visitors turned to stare (盯着) at us as we walked on. But when we were back in the hall to see the dinosaurs carefully, Dad was silent. Clearly, these giants couldn’t be eaten. (If they were still alive, we might be on their menu!) The star exhibit was a Mamenchisaurus (马门溪龙). It stood 22 meters tall and held its long neck high. I couldn’t take my eyes off it. Many questions raced through my mind: What did it do all day? How much did it eat? What was our planet like when it was alive? And why did it—and all the other dinosaurs—disappear? In 2015, the Natural History Museum moved to Jing’an. To celebrate the tenth birthday of its new home, it’s hosting a special dinosaur exhibition where you can see a Mamenchisaurus. But it’s a little different from the one I saw in the old museum. Over time, scientists have learned more about these dinosaurs. Now they believe they couldn’t hold up their long necks very high. There are still many unknowns about these ancient animals. We keep guessing and piecing together the puzzle. As we learn about their world, we also learn more about our own. Dinosaurs ruled the Earth for about 165 million years. Will humans ever break this record? 1．The other visitors stared at the author and his father because ________. A．the author asked many interesting questions B．the father knew a lot about the Mamenchisaurus C．the father made strange comments about the fish D．the author looked at the Mamenchisaurus for a long time 2．When he looked at the Mamenchisaurus, the author probably felt ________. A．bored and tired B．proud and excited C．curious and surprised D．frightened and nervous 3．How is the Mamenchisaurus at the ongoing exhibition different from the one the author saw as a boy? A．It’s much taller. B．It’s a bit smaller. C．It has colorful skin. D．Its neck is not lifted as high. 4．We can learn from the article that human beings ________. A．will live longer on Earth than dinosaurs B．have lived on Earth for 165 million years C．will disappear from Earth sooner or later D．will continue to learn more about dinosaurs “As a new Shenzhener, being led to check out the history of my city is really a wonderful experience,” said a participant in her online blog, after she took part in a cultural tour led by Mary Ann O’Donnell, an American anthropologist (人类学家) who has been based in Shenzhen since the 1990s. The Shuiwei tour, organized by Handshake 302, a public art organization, was one of a series of tours that will take visitors to a total of seven places of cultural and historical importance in Shenzhen. Take Metro Line 4 or 7, get off at Fumin Station, walk a few steps, and you will get to the heart of Shuiwei. “What’s important is not what did or did not happen, but how the stories we tell become history, and how we use the history to shape our identities,” said O’Donnell. Along the years, people in Shuiwei made a living by fishing and producing sea salt. However, the practical influence of “water” gradually fell off. Around the 1980s, villagers travelled to and from Hong Kong by boat to buy daily necessities or unusual objects and resell them in Shenzhen. Meanwhile, village renovation (革新) and industrialization (工业化) turned Shuiwei into a landlocked region. The village soon changed its livelihood from fishing and agriculture (农业) to manufacturing (制造业) and real estate (房地产业). Hand-shake buildings are everywhere. The rock museum in the village, which exhibits hundreds of valuable rocks collected from all over the world, also shows the transition from “water” to “Iand” in Shuiwei’s cultural geography, according to O’Donnell. 1．How many metro lines which can take visitors to the heart of Shuiwei? A．2. B．3. C．4. D．7. 2．What did the writer mention to show the importance of  “water” in people’s lives in Shuiwei? A．hand-shake buildings. B．the rock museum. C．fishing and producing sea salt. D．manufacturing and real estate. 3．What can we learn from the passage about Mary Ann O’Donnell? A．She came from America and has lived in Shenzhen for 31 years. B．She has organized tours to a total of seven places in Shenzhen. C．She thinks history is closely connected to people’s identities. D．She believes people in Shuiwei lived a much better life in the 1980s. 4．What does the underlined word “transition” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．价值 B．转变 C．渊源 D．典故 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．Stories—Becoming History B．Tours—Unknown Worth C．Handshake 302—Spreading Culture D．Shuiwei—Water or Land? ◇考点 02 重难语篇提升练 The Three Gorges Dam (三峡大坝), lying on the Yangtze River in Hubei Province, is one of the largest and most amazing engineering projects in the world. It stands proudly between the beautiful mountains of Xiling Gorge, showing the wisdom and hard work of the Chinese people. The Yangtze River, China’s longest river, often caused serious floods in the past, bringing disasters to millions of people. To solve this problem and create clean energy, the Chinese government decided to build a huge dam. People began to build the Three Gorges Dam in 1994. And it took over 12 years to complete. Thousands of workers used modern machines and technology to make this dream come true. They moved mountains, changed the river’s path (路径) to build the dam, which is about 2.3 kilometers long and 185 meters high—as tall as a 60-story building! Today, the dam plays a key role in China. It has greatly reduced flood risks, protecting cities and farmlands. The dam’s power stations produce clean electricity for millions of homes and factories, helping reduce air pollution. Its connected vessel system (连通器系统) helps ships pass. Ships enter a lock (水闸), and gates close. Water level inside the lock rises or falls to match the next section. When the water levels become the same, gates open, and the ship moves to the next lock. The Three Gorges Dam is not just a dam—it’s a symbol of China’s courage and creativity. Visitors from around the world come to see this modern wonder. Students learn about its scientific achievements and the spirit of teamwork behind it. The dam teaches us that with determination (决心), humans can overcome even the most difficult challenges of nature. 1．What are the uses of the Three Gorges Dam according to the passage? ①Controlling floods        ②Producing clean energy ③Creating new tourist places    ④Improving ship transportation A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 2．What physics principle (原理) allows ships to pass through the dam’s gates smoothly? A． B． C． D． 3．Which is the right structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1    ②=Paragraph 2, ...) A． B． C． D． 4．What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing the passage? A．To list the dam’s benefits to society. B．To describe challenges in building the dam. C．To explain why Chinese people built the dam. D．To praise Chinese people’s wisdom and creativity.
