Unit 2 Section Ⅱ Reading and Thinking(Ⅱ)-【创新教程】2025-2026学年高中英语选择性必修第四册五维课堂课时作业word（人教版）

Ⅰ.阅读理解 A If you're looking for European culture, there are few better places to visit than Switzerland. Known as the melting pot of Europe, it combines the cultures of Europe with astonishing beauty and fantastic food. Switzerland's culture is a combination of neighboring states: France, Germany, and Italy. The result is a multilingual(多语言的) country, as eastern Switzerland speaks French, the southern part speaks Italian and the rest speaks German. Like the language, the cuisine is also quite different by region. If you visit cities like Geneva, you'll find traditional French dishes like Fondue and Raclette, melted Swiss cheese served on bread or potatoes. Meanwhile, in Germanspeaking regions, like Zurich, you'll find Rosti, a typical side dish made from fried potatoes. However, if there's one thing that unites the Swiss and the rest of the world, it's their love of chocolate. Swiss chocolate factories are “the most luxurious in the world”， US travel blogger Sarah Schmalbruch wrote on Business Insider. Famous brands, like Lindt, are based in the country. Visitors to Switzerland can enjoy chocolate tasting sessions, and even take classes from master chocolate makers. Aside from the wide variety of food on offer, Switzerland also offers thrills. The Swiss Alps offer yearround skiing and mountain climbing with local experts. Besides, you can visit the beautiful Matterhorn, known for its distinctive pyramid shape and snowcapped peak. Standing at a height of more than 4,400 meters, it is the most pictured mountain in the world, according to Smithsonian magazine. But if city culture is more your thing, you'll find a wide range of museums and art galleries, not to mention the world's largest teddy bear museum in Basel. Even the largest Swiss cities tend to be laidback(悠闲自在的)，but with many adrenalinepumping (肾上腺素激增的)activities and cultural sites, Switzerland is perfect for every taste. After all, where else in Europe can offer you the culture of four different countries? [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文，介绍了瑞士这个多文化国家的文化，如语言、饮食以及风景名胜等。 1．The author presents Switzerland as a multicultural country by introducing its 　 　.

The result is a multilingual (多语言的) country”以及第三段中的“Like the language, the cuisine is also quite different by region ”可知，瑞士文化的多样性体现在它的语言和美食上。故选A。] 2．Why are Sarah Schmalbruch's words quoted? A．To show the history of Swiss chocolates. B．To prove Swiss chocolates are difficult to make. C．To show how delicious Swiss chocolates are. D．To stress the popularity of Swiss chocolates. 解析：D　[推理判断题。由第四段中 Sarah Schmalbruch 所说的“Swiss chocolate factories are ‘the most luxurious in the world’”以及第四段第一句中的“it's their love of chocolate”可知，瑞士的人们很钟爱吃巧克力，巧克力在瑞士非常受欢迎。强调了瑞士巧克力的受欢迎程度，故选D。] 3．What can you find in Switzerland? A．The safest skiing location. B．The most pictured mountain. C．The largest art gallery. D．The oldest teddy bear museum. 解析：B　[细节理解题。由第五段中的“Besides, you can visit the beautiful Matterhorn, known for its distinctive pyramid shape and snowcapped peak. Standing at a height of more than 4,400 meters, it is the most pictured mountain in the world”可知，在瑞士我们能看到最美的山峰。故选B。] [干扰项分析]　[A项：文中第五段没有提到“safest”；C项：第六段提到了“a wide range of museums and art galleries”，没有说是“largest”；D 项：第六段提到了“the world's largest teddy bear museum”，但是没有说是“the oldest”。] 4．Where can we most probably read this text? A．In a geography textbook. B．In a science report. C．In a travel magazine. D．In a personal diary. 解析：C　[出处判断题。总览全文，文章主要介绍了瑞士这个多文化国家，包括语言、美食、风景等。文章最后一段中的“Switzerland is perfect for every taste. After all, where else in Europe can offer you the culture of four different countries ”还指出瑞士可以满足所有人的品味，是在向读者推荐瑞士，所以本文极可能是出现在旅行杂志中。故选C。] B Iceland is a large island. In fact, it's the world's 18th largest island. Most of the population, however, lives in the southwestern part of the country, in or around the capital city of Reykjavik. By its very name, you'd expect Iceland to be mostly icecovered. Looking at Iceland on a map, you'll notice it sits just outside the Arctic Circle. Despite its location and name, Iceland actually has a temperate climate, because it is warmed by the Gulf Stream. The Gulf Stream also helps keep Iceland's coastal ports icefree through the winter. There is plenty of ice on Iceland, though. The country consists of a large plateau (高原)that includes fields of sand, mountains and glaciers. Over 60% of Iceland is tundra (苔原). About 14% of Iceland consists of lakes and glaciers. Only about 24% of the country has plants or vegetation of any kind, which covers a vast area in the south of the country. Iceland was settled in the late 800s and early 900s by Norsemen from the Scandinavian country of Norway. Other settlers also came from Ireland and Scotland. From the 13th century to 1918, Iceland was part of the Norwegian and later Danish monarchies. For most of that time, the small Icelandic population depended upon fishing and farming to make a living. For hundreds of years, Iceland was one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world. After World War Ⅱ， international aid and industrialisation of the fishing industry turned Iceland into one of the wealthiest countries in the world. In 1994, Iceland became part of the European Economic Area (欧洲经济区)，which allowed its economy to grow even faster. Iceland boasts one of the youngest islands in the world. Surtsey rose out of the ocean during a series of volcanic eruptions between 1963 and 1968. Today, only scientists who study the growth of new life can occasionally visit the volcanic island of Surtsey. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文，介绍了北欧国家——冰岛的地理位置、气候以及历史等信息。 5．What can we know about Iceland according to the passage? A．It lies in the Arctic Circle. B．Its capital city is very crowded. C．Many people live in the east. D．It has a fairly mild temperature. 解析：D　[细节理解题。根据第一段中的Iceland actually has a temperate climate 可知，冰岛气候温和，故选D项。] 6．What is mainly talked about in the third paragraph? A．Iceland's history. B．Iceland's geography. C．Iceland's population. D．Iceland's politics. 解析：A　[主旨大意题。根据第三段内容，特别是根据Iceland was settled in the late 800s and early 900s by Norsemen from the Scandinavian country of Norway. Other settlers also came from Ireland and Scotland. From the 13th century to 1918, Iceland was part of the Norwegian and later Danish monarchies. 可知，本段主要介绍的是冰岛的历史，故选A项。] 7．What can we infer about Surtsey from the last paragraph? A．People there live on fishing. B．No human beings live there at all. C．There are many visitors. D．Science is developing fast there. 解析：B　[推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Today, only scientists who study the growth of new life can occasionally visit the volcanic island of Surtsey. 可知，现在，只有研究新生命的成长的科学家才会偶尔造访火山岛叙尔特塞，由此可推断，叙尔特塞岛上根本没有人类居住，故选B项。] Ⅱ.阅读填句 Rivers play an important role on Earth, and we can't imagine what the Earth would be like without rivers. 　 1 　 With a length of about 6,650 kilometres, the Nile is the longest river in the world. The Nile River has been the source of human civilisation since ancient times. The Nile has two main branches—the White Nile and the Blue Nile. The White Nile starts from the Great Lakes region of East and Central Africa through Lake Victoria. 　 2 　 The Blue Nile carries with it a lot of fertile soil which turns out to be very important to farming in Egypt. The Amazon River is the world's largest river with a width of about 40 kilometres during the rainy season but about 10 kilometres wide when it is not flooded. The Amazon River has such a big water volume that it accounts for more than 20% of all the world's fresh water—far more than any other river.　 3 　 The main Amazon River flows mostly through Brazil and Peru but its tributaries (支流)can also be found in many other countries. 4 　 It has a depth of about 220 metres. Its length is 4,700 kilometres. The sources of the Congo River are in the highlands and mountains in the East African Rift. It's the second largest river in terms of water volume. 　 5 　 The Congo Basin (刚果盆地)is the catchment area (集水区域) of the Congo River. It lies in both north and south of the equator, making its flow very stable as there are always some tributaries experiencing a rainy season at any time. A．Some of them are worth mentioning. B．The Congo River is the world's deepest river. C．Do you know which is the deepest river in the world? D．The Blue Nile originates from (发源于)Lake Tana in Ethiopia. E．Without rivers, there would be no living things in and along them. F．And it flows through the second largest rainforest in the world. G．Streams that begin in the Andes Mountains are its sources. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。河流在地球上扮演着重要的角色，我们无法想象没有河流，地球会是什么样子。本文主要介绍了尼罗河、亚马孙河和刚果河。 1．解析：A　[本空为首段末句，文章开篇点题说rivers, 根据中间三段分别讲述最长、最大和最深的河流可知，本句引起下文，A项“其中一些河流值得一提”符合语境，故选A项。] 2．解析：D　[本段第三句讲尼罗河有白尼罗河和青尼罗河两个支流。第四句讲白尼罗河的发源地，第六句讲青尼罗河对人类的贡献，由此可判断设空处讲青尼罗河的发源地。故选D项。] 3．解析：G　[本段介绍亚马孙河，设空处后一句The main Amazon River flows mostly through Brazil and Peru but...讲了亚马孙河流经的地方，因此设空处应该描述它的发源地，故选G项。] 4．解析：B　[根据本段中多次出现的the Congo River 可知，本段介绍刚果河。又因设空处后一句提到了它的深度，可知B项“刚果河是世界上最深的河流”符合语境。] 5．解析：F　[设空处前一句It's the second largest river in terms of water volume. 介绍了从水量上来说，刚果河是世界第二大河；设空处后一句The Congo Basin is the catchment area of the Congo River. 介绍了刚果盆地是刚果河的集水区域，故F项“它流经世界第二大雨林”与上下文衔接紧密，符合语境，都在介绍与刚果河有关的信息。] Ⅲ.语法填空 China's Liangzhu Archaeological Site 　 1 　 (declare) a World Heritage Site on Saturday by UNESCO's World Heritage Committee during its 43rd session in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. The site, 　 2 　 is located in Yuhang District in Hangzhou City in China's eastern Zhejiang Province, showcases the civilisation of prehistoric rice agriculture between 3300 BC 　 3 　 2300 BC. The ruins of ancient Liangzhu City were discovered in 2007, and then large dam sites 　 4 　 (surround) the Liangzhu Ancient City were unearthed continuously after 2009. It was 　 5 　 (official) submitted to UNESCO in 2019, hoping to win 　 6 　 (recognise) as a World Cultural Heritage Site.

The World Heritage Committee added Liangzhu to the UNESCO list 　 10 　 (encourage) better protection of the site, which is considered to be of“outstanding universal value” to humanity. [语篇解读]　这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了联合国教科文组织世界遗产委员会在阿塞拜疆的首都巴库举行的第43届会议上宣布中国良渚古城遗址为世界遗产，同时说明了良渚遗址的一些情况。 1．was declared　[declare 是谓语动词，与主语之间为被动关系，且根据时间状语on Saturday 可知，此处为一般过去时，所以应用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was declared。] 2．which　[　 　is located in Yuhang District in Hangzhou City...为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词site, 关系词在从句中作主语，故用关系代词which。故填which。] 3．and　[between...and...为固定短语，意为“在……和……之间”。故填and。] 4．surrounding　[句意为：良渚古城遗址于2007年被发现，2009 年以后，环绕良渚古城的大型水坝遗址陆续出土。surround 在此是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语 dam sites 之间为主动关系，故用现在分词形式。故填surrounding。] 5．officially　[设空处修饰谓语was submitted, 应用副词，故填officially。] 6．recognition　[此处作win的宾语，且表示“认可；正式承认”，应用名词recognition。故填recognition。] 7．includes　[include 在此是主句谓语动词，与主句主语是主动关系，且结合语境可知，此处描述客观事实，应用一般现在时，主语为site, 故谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填includes。] 8．an　[area 为可数名词，此处表示泛指，应用不定冠词，且area 是发音以元音音素开头的单词。cover an area of 指“占地面积”，故填an。] 9．earlier　[根据空后的than previously thought 可知，此处应用比较级，故填earlier。] 10．to encourage　[encourage 在此是非谓语动词，且作目的状语，应用不定式。故填to encourage。] 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
