Section Ⅱ　“Reading and Thinking”的课文习读环节 [课时跟踪检测] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Born in the coldest city in the world, Yakutsk in Siberia, Alex developed an interest in photography (摄影) from a very young age when he would spend hours developing film in the darkness of his bathroom.When he was old enough to travel, he packed his bag to hit the road. He has visited more than 84 countries since he began his journey. He began travelling around the world as a travel photographer, mainly taking photos of nature.After a few years he became more interested in people.He said, “While travelling the world, I realized that people were the most interesting part of my travel experience.I was most attracted by people living in far places, where the traditional lifestyle and ancient culture remained untouched by the outside world.I felt that life there had a close connection to the tradition of people.” Since then, he has begun a project called The World in Faces.He has travelled deep into Siberia and China, to places unknown to the outside world where the population of the locals is down to their last few hundred.He wants to tell their stories before it's too late.Alex feels that a lot of cultures are vanishing and wants to record them.“I believe that without cultural diversity (多样性) our world will become faceless.Many of the world traditions that have been present for thousands of years have disappeared.” This project is also important to him because he wants to share the idea that we are all on the same side — we are all humans. Alex will continue to record these very unique people.For him, it is a job of love and necessity. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。摄影爱好者Alex游历84个国家，通过摄影记录下了那些与世隔绝的民族和他们的正在消失的文化。 1．Why did Alex start the long journey?

Every Chinese child is taught at school that the country's civilization is 5,000 years old, but proving this beyond doubt has been a problem. Now, a jade artifact (玉器) named “King of Cong”， found in the Liangzhu city ruins near Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, has provided an answer. According to radiocarbon dating (放射性碳定年法), the 6.5 kg object is 5,300 years old. It is one of the largest objects among all Cong from Liangzhu. The piece has now won greater global recognition. However, the site has far more than just things made of jade. The main area, spread over 14.3 square kilometers in the Yuhang area of Hangzhou, includes not only a city's ruins but 11 dams and several cemeteries (墓地), all about 5,000 years old. Archaeological facts show that people lived in Liangzhu for about a thousand years. “The archaeological ruins of Liangzhu (about 3300－2300 BCE) reveal an early regional state with a unified belief system based on rice cultivation in Late Neolithic China (中国新石器时代晚期)，” the UNESCO World Heritage Committee said. “These ruins are an outstanding example of early urban civilization expressed in earthen monuments, urban planning, a water conservation system and a social hierarchy (等级制度) expressed in differentiated burials (差异化埋葬) in cemeteries within the ruins.” According to studies led by Liu Bin, director of the Zhejiang Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, the inner part of the ancient city ruins covers 2.8 square kilometers, about five times the area of the Forbidden City in Beijing, and the outer city spreads across 6.3 square kilometers. Liu said it was the biggest city ruins site of its time to be found in China, and was also one of the largest cities of its day in the world. 语篇解读： 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了能够有力证明五千年中华文明的杭州良渚遗址。它已经被列入联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录。 5．__________ can prove that China has a civilization of 5,000 years old.

A．A different system of value in the region. B．The beginning of civilisation. C．The biggest city ruins all over the world. D．The whole area-9.1 square kilometers. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“the inner part of the ancient city ruins covers 2.8 square kilometers, about five times the area of the Forbidden City in Beijing, and the outer city spreads across 6.3 square kilometers”可知，良渚古城整个区域的面积是9.1平方千米。 7．Why is the Forbidden City mentioned in the last paragraph? A．To focus on the great achievements. B．To inform us of the importance about architecture. C．To stress the large scale of ancient Liangzhu city. D．To present advanced technology and outstanding civilisation. 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“the inner part ... in Beijing”可知，作者在最后一段提到紫禁城是为了强调良渚古城的规模。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Sites of cultural heritage often carry a large degree of value. Famous World Heritage Sites like the Pyramids of Giza or the Forbidden City in Beijing are truly impressive. __8__ And they also show what the human mind and human culture are capable of. However, cultural relics are more than just valuable in art — they tell a story of human history. Everything that makes up our society (our values, our language, our traditions, our way of life, etc.) comes from our ancestors. __9__ This is extremely valuable because it provides us with a way to understand different cultures round the world and how they interact with each other. It offers chances for us to learn from the past and develop a better future. __10__ Some relics were stolen from museums in Bagdad and the Iraq War caused great damage to parts of the ancient city of Babylon. These acts are hugely harmful to the international society. __11__ So it is important to set an international rule to be followed during a war in order to greatly reduce the harms to cultural relics. __12__ In order to better protect cultural relics, the law must be strictly used in all situations even though in certain cases, a war can be won more easily by attacking common people. A．They are worth protecting. B．They are beautiful pieces of art. C．Recently there have been many terrible acts. D．Cultural heritage is important for many reasons. E．Cultural relics are the only means we have of connecting with our past. F．The harms do not only influence our present-day society, but all of our future. G．This is the case, for example, with the laws about attacking common people in a war. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了文化遗迹的意义及遭受破坏的现状，并呼吁制定法律来保护文化遗迹。 8．选B　上文提到了两个著名的文化遗迹，结合下文中的“also”可知，空处与下文都是讲述两处世界文化遗迹的意义，B项符合语境。 9．选E　根据本段首句“However, cultural relics ... history.”可知，本段主要讲述文化遗迹的意义，结合最后一句“It offers chances ... future.”可知，E项符合语境。 10．选C　由下文可知，C项符合语境，空后是对“糟糕行为”的例证。 11．选F　由上文可知，这些行为对国际社会造成巨大的伤害，分析选项，F项符合语境，F项中的“The harms”与上文“harmful”呼应。 12．选G　根据下文可知，G项符合语境，与下文呼应，其中的“the laws”与下文“the law”相呼应。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
