Unit 4　Journey Across a Vast Land单元提升强化练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2025浙江宁波三锋教研联盟高二上期中) On the surface,Vienna Cammarota is a simple grandmother in her Italian hometown,but initial impressions can be misleading.The mother of three in her 70s is a well-known hiker,who fearlessly explores what the world has to offer. Beginning in Venice on April 26,2022,Cammarota arrived in China last month,the last stop of her journey to the East,hiking more than 20,000 kilometers.The moment she set foot in China on August 29,she was warmly greeted by people who presented her with a wreath,symbolizing friendship and blessings,and put on traditional dance and singing performances for her arrival via Irkeshtam,the country’s farthest-west land port in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. Starting from Kashgar,Cammarota will embark on a 15-month cultural journey across China and explore over 30 cities in 17 provinces and autonomous regions,including Gansu,Shaanxi,Fujian and Guangdong Provinces,and Beijing.Her journey will end in Beijing to mark the 750th anniversary of Marco Polo’s arrival in China. She began studying The Travels of Marco Polo in 2000 and planned to retrace Marco Polo’s route along the Silk Road.Her goal is to experience the profound cultural heritage of Chinese civilization,witness the development and achievements of modern China,and call for global harmony and inclusiveness by bringing into modern view the Silk Road history and spirit to boost dialogue and understanding between the East and the West. Li Jinsheng,chairman of China Arts and Entertainment Group,expressed his gratitude to Cammarota for her admiration and goodwill toward Marco Polo,the Silk Road and China,as well as her strength to overcome numerous challenges to retrace the Silk Road. Li hopes that through her experiences,the historical charm of the Silk Road and the openness and inclusiveness of China can be displayed,showcasing the beautiful vision of common development among Belt and Road countries. 1.What does Cammarota’s reception in China suggest about local attitudes towards cultural exchange? A.They are indifferent to foreign visitors. B.They prefer to keep their culture isolated. C.They primarily focus on tourism income. D.They value friendship and cultural connections. 2.What is the main purpose of Vienna Cammarota’s journey across China? A.To experience Chinese cultural heritage and promote East-west dialogue. B.To celebrate Marco Polo’s 750th anniversary. C.To visit as many cities in China as possible. D.To complete a 20,000-kilometer hike for personal achievement. 3.What can be inferred about Li Jinsheng’s viewpoint on Cammarota’s journey? A.He believes it is just a personal adventure without broader significance. B.He sees it as an opportunity to promote international understanding and cooperation. C.He doubts the impact of her journey on cultural exchange. D.He feels that her journey will primarily benefit the tourism industry. B (2025山东济宁高二上月考) When traveling to foreign countries,mastering the art of body language is key for perfect travel experiences.As a body language expert,it’s easy for me to see how we communicate with those around us without even saying a word. I especially believe the importance of the universal language of body talk.At most times when traveling abroad,it is the only way that connects every human being,no matter what the geographic location is.A simple custom or sign of respect is vital to understand before taking a flight to your desired destination. For example,it is customary to simply eat the food that you have before you when we are out at a business lunch.In Asian customs,business lunches are strict.Finishing your plate or eating most of the food you ordered is considered rude in Asian culture. “Body language teaches us everything about a person,” says Benjamin Wey,a professor at two European universities.“My professional career would be entirely different if it were not for body language and my understanding of it.” Frequently visiting both Europe and the US,Wey has come to understand that internationally,our ability to actively respect cultural customs becomes the currency within business.One key element that Wey has taken away from his travels abroad is “that all people want to be treated with respect.” So,show your respect and learn more about the local customs and traditions or the spots on your route.Gather an understanding of what gestures or expressions are considered useful,and avoid those that may be offensive to your new friends. Though we started with one language in common—body language,the cultures of the world have evolved(演化).It is important to be able to identify and appreciate these differences;it will make our world smaller as a result. 4.Why does the author think body language is important? A.It makes different cultures get more alike. B.It can effectively show your respect to others. C.It allows us to connect with people anywhere. D.It replaces the need for verbal communication. 5.What does the passage advise travelers to do to improve their travel experience? A.Avoid making any gestures at all. B.Finish the food you order in the plate. C.Learn to use the local language fluently. D.Show respect by following local customs. 6.What does the underlined word “offensive” mean in paragraph 5? A.Rude. B.Similar. C.Awesome. D.Practical. 7.What is the best title of the text? A.Cross-cultural Body Language B.The Traditional Cuisine Culture C.A Perfect Travel Experience Abroad D.A Good Way to Learn Foreign Cultures C (2025四川成都外国语高二上月考) “For thousands of years,humans have raced to be the first to scale a peak,cross a frontier or document a new species or landscape.Now,in some cases,we’re racing to be the last,” said The New York Times’ Paige McClanahan. In recent years,a growing industry has been spurred on (刺激) by climate change — last-chance tourism.According to Eco Sustainable Solutions,a UK-based organic recycling and waste processing company,last-chance tourism is a kind of tourism geared toward seeing the last of something due to climate change.As temperatures and water levels rise,this could mean seizing the last chance to see the Great Barrier Reef,an Arctic glacier and a remote island that is sinking. As millions of tourists rush to imperiled destinations,some are taking advantage of the increasing demand to spread environmental awareness.One tourist spot,Charmonix’s Mer de Glace or “Sea of Ice” in France,opened an exhibit in 2012 to educate visitors on glaciers and climate change.This educational push seems to be having an impact,as a 2020 survey showed that 80 percent of the visitors would “try to learn more about the environment and how to protect it” while 77 percent said they would reduce their water and energy use. However,the last-chance tourism industry may also be harmful.As more and more people flock (蜂拥) into these areas in a panic to see them before they’re gone,they in fact contribute to the increasing greenhouse gas emissions and overtourism,leading to their destruction. Many scholars are calling last-chance tourism a paradox (悖论).Although tourists may acknowledge the broader risks and importance of climate change,it’s even more important to connect the responsibility of the individual tourism to climate change. 8.What has contributed to the boom of last-chance tourism,according to the text? A.Increased publicity. B.Global warming. C.Environmental awareness. D.Economic development. 9.What does the underlined word “imperiled” in the third paragraph most likely mean? A.Endangered. B.Preserved. C.Popular. D.Remote. 10.Why does the author mention Charmonix’s Mer de Glace? A.To show the positive effect of climate change. B.To demonstrate its success in environmental conservation. C.To discuss a potential benefit of last-chance tourism. D.To highlight the impact of climate education. 11.Which of the following best describes last-chance tourism? A.It is environmentally friendly. B.It helps address climate change. C.It is a double-edged sword. D.It does more harm than good.

Ⅰ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了70岁的意大利人维也纳·卡马罗塔计划跨越17个省份和自治区,穿越30多个城市,完成从威尼斯到伊尔克什坦的徒步旅行并希望通过此行推动东西方之间的对话和理解。 1.D　推理判断题。根据第二段中“The moment she set foot in China...and singing performances for her arrival via Irkeshtam”可推知,卡马罗塔受到热烈欢迎,表明了当地对文化交流的积极态度和促进友谊的愿望。 2.A　细节理解题。根据第四段中“Her goal is to experience the profound cultural heritage...and understanding between the East and the West.”可知,维也纳·卡马罗塔此次中国之行的主要目的是探索中国文化遗产,促进东西方对话。 3.B　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段以及最后一段可推知,李金生高度评价了卡马罗塔的旅程,认为这是一个促进国际理解与合作的机会。 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。掌握肢体语言艺术是获得完美旅行体验的关键,同时旅行者要尊重当地的风俗习惯。 4.C　细节理解题。由第二段中“I especially believe the importance of the universal language of body talk.At most times when traveling abroad,it is the only way that connects every human being,no matter the geographic location.”可知,作者认为肢体语言重要,因为它让我们在任何地方都能与人交流。 5.D　细节理解题。由第二段中“A simple custom or sign of respect is vital to understand before taking a flight to your desired destination.”和第五段中“So,show your respect and learn more about the local customs and traditions or the spots on your route.”可知,这篇文章建议旅行者遵循当地风俗来表示尊重,以改善他们的旅行体验。 6.A　词句猜测题。由第五段中“Gather an understanding of what gestures or expressions are considered useful,and avoid those that may be offensive to your new friends.”可知,与“useful”相对应,避免的应是负面词汇,由此推断,offensive含义与“Rude (粗鲁的、无礼的)”相近。 7.A　主旨大意题。文章首段提出话题,掌握肢体语言的艺术是获得完美旅行体验的关键,下文叙述旅行者要尊重当地风俗习惯;根据最后一段“Though we started with one language in common-body language,the cultures of the world have evolved (演化).It is important to be able to identify and appreciate these differences;it will make our world smaller as a result.”可知,“跨文化肢体语言”与文本内容一致,适合作文章标题。 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了由于气候变化影响,“最后一次旅游”旅游业蓬勃发展,文章介绍了这一现象的好处和坏处。 8.B　细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“In recent years,a growing industry has been spurred on by climate change—last-chance tourism.”可知,气候变化促成了“最后一次旅游”旅游业蓬勃发展。 9.A　词义猜测题。根据文章画线词上一段中“According to Eco Sustainable Solutions...an Arctic glacier and a remote island that is sinking.”可知,这些旅游目的地因为气候影响受到生存威胁,因此,画线词表示“处于危险之中的”,与A项意思相近。 10.C　推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“One tourist spot,Charmonix’s Mer de Glace or ‘Sea of Ice’ in France...while 77 percent said they would reduce their water and energy use.”可知,作者提及法国夏蒙尼的“冰海”是为了论述“最后一次旅游”的潜在好处,能帮助人们意识到环境问题并设法保护。 11.C　推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“This educational push...reduce their water and energy use.”及第四段中“However,the last-chance tourism industry may also be harmful.”并结合最后一段可知,“最后一次旅游”能帮助提升人们的环保意识却也有坏处,因此,它是一把双刃剑。 Ⅱ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些帮助我们能够更好地跟团旅行的方法。 1.E　根据空后内容“No matter who’s in your group,you can have a life-changing journey together.”可推测出,空处和团队的人有关。E项“Besides,you may be around people with different preferences.”既和上文内容保持一致,指的是你在跟团旅行时会遇到的一些问题,同时引出下文内容,指的是即便你和周围的人有不同喜好,你们也可以一起经历一段难忘的旅程。 2.B　根据下文“If you’re in charge of planning the itinerary,avoid arranging too many activities in one day and set aside time for relaxation...This way,you can avoid stress and keep the group energized.”可知,在计划行程安排时,要注意保持平衡,不要在一天内安排太多的活动,要留出时间放松。B项 “Create a balanced itinerary.”与下文内容一致,指的是要制定合理的行程。 3.C　根据上文内容“Be open to new experiences...be open to the new idea.”可知,上文主要讲述的是要接受新的体验。C项 “Thus,you might discover something new about yourself.”是上文内容的自然延续,指的是接受了新想法、有了新的体验后,我们自身也会不一样。 4.F　根据空前内容“Ensure everyone in your group has a way to communicate with each other.”可知,上文指的是团队之间的每个人都要有相互沟通的方式。F项 “If someone gets lost or the group breaks up,it’s easy to reconnect.”是上文内容的自然延续,指的是有了联系方式后,如果有人迷路了或者小组解散了,还可以和别人重新取得联系。 5.G　根据下文“For example,you may have to wait for someone in the morning before setting out or stick around a souvenir shop until a friend finishes browsing.”可知,跟团旅行时有时候不得不多花些时间做某些事。G项“Traveling in a group means some activities will take longer than if you did them alone.”与下文内容一致,指的是跟团旅行时有时候花的时间更多。 Ⅲ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者在澳大利亚独自旅行时的一段经历。在一次船游中,作者不慎将手臂放在了一个被加热了整个早晨的烧烤架上,造成了烫伤。尽管起初没有人重视他的痛苦,但最终一位来自伦敦的女孩伸出了援手,提供了帮助,让作者感受到了旅途中的温暖和陪伴。 1.B　根据下文“due to their new plans”可知,由于朋友们有了新计划,他们最终分开了。 2.A　根据上文“but we finally parted”可知,朋友们离开了作者,作者孤身一人,只有啤酒作为旅行的陪伴。 3.D　根据下文“as a strange guy”可知,作者不想被当作一个奇怪的人。be labeled as是个固定搭配,意思是“被定义为”,符合语境。 4.C　根据下文“I walked to the back of the boat”可知,作者在船上走动,开始随意地拍照。 5.B　根据上文“I started taking photos”可知,作者是在随意地拍照。 6.C　根据上文“Suddenly”可知,作者突然发现了一个金属盒子,其他选项不符合语境。 7.D　cool down冷却;light up点亮;burn down烧毁;heat up加热。根据上文“it was a barbecue”可知,这是一个烧烤架,它已经加热了整个早晨。 8.C　根据上文“Screaming in pain”可知,作者因疼痛尖叫并立刻移开了手臂。 9.A　根据下文“and no one took me seriously”可知,没人当回事儿,这是因为没有出现可见的烫伤痕迹。 10.B　根据上文“Screaming in pain”可知,作者感到的是痛苦。 11.A　根据上文“the captain of the ship was unwilling”可知,船长之所以不愿意提供淡水是因为淡水供应是有限的,毕竟他们是在一艘船上。 12.D　根据上文“and I didn’t have any friends”可知,这个时候作者需要朋友来表示同情,sympathize with sb是一个固定搭配,意思是“同情某人”,符合语境。 13.A　根据下文“for burns”可知,提供给作者的是用于治疗烧伤的乳膏,根据常识判断,烫伤应该用的是乳膏。 14.D　根据下文“the medical treatment or just the fact that I now had a shoulder to cry on”可知,无论是获得了救助还是有人可以依靠,作者都应该感到高兴。 15.C　根据下文“I was able to enjoy the seascapes and have fun with all the cool people”可知,作者在得到帮助后,疼痛减轻了,所以可以和大家一起享受美景了。 Ⅳ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了金门国家休闲区(GGNRA)。
