[课时跟踪检测] (标语篇配有教师讲评课件)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Bradley McConachie, a 33yearold Australian, is actually a student in international relations completing his PhD through Griffith University.He came to Beijing for a cooperative research at Beijing University two years ago.Such an academic life was colorful with a chance offered by the cultural exchanges project, “I'm in China”.
Bradley was lucky to win the most “likes” for his photo story about his life in China and became one of 20 winners to visit locations by the project this summer.All the winners' experiences were filmed to produce a reality show, My Chinese Working Day, which will be broadcast by midSeptember.
Bradley was chosen to work as a recreational manager for a Chinese wedding.The film crew took them to many “amazing sites” and the staff at the resort taught them a lot about how to incorporate modern Chinese features while still keeping traditional customs.
“I would have to say two things stick out as the most memorable: the helicopter ride and talking with the staff at the hotel about how they organize weddings here in China,” he said.That was Bradley's first time to be in a helicopter, and he was too absorbed in the “stunning” view of the coastline.
“I think it is so important to show other Australians the different landscapes China has to offer.I think so many Australians, when they think about China, imagine the historical sites of Beijing and the exciting things to see in Shanghai but have no idea about other beautiful places, like Sanya or the many other places people have been taken to in this TV series.It was nice to experience these little touches.I was happy to be a part of that experience!” Bradley said.

语篇解读:本文是一篇人物传记。文章主要介绍了英国汉学家Frances Wood对中国文化和历史的浓厚兴趣与热爱。
20.has appreciated 考查时态及主谓一致。根据时间状语从句“ever since she studied at Peking University”可知,空处时态为现在完成时;主语“Wood”为单数,故填has appreciated。
21.whose 考查定语从句。 空处引导定语从句,先行词为“Wood”,和空后的“love”之间为所属关系,故用关系代词whose引导。
22.is loaded 考查时态、语态及主谓一致。 空处为并列句的谓语动词,根据上一句is可知,本空时态为一般现在时;主语her bookshelf为单数,且和动词“load”之间为被动关系,所以用被动语态is loaded。
23.held 考查非谓语动词。空处在句中作后置定语,且与所修饰词“the ‘Chinese Bridge’ language contest”之间为被动关系,故用过去分词形式。
24.ranging 考查非谓语动词。 空处在句中作宾语补足语,且与宾语“talents”之间为主动关系,故用现在分词形式。
25.to go 考查非谓语动词。 空处作抽象名词“opportunity”的后置定语,应用动词不定式形式。
26.for 考查介词。 表示“……的表达方式”,用介词for。
27.what 考查宾语从句。 空处引导宾语从句,从句中缺少介词的宾语,故填关系代词what。
28.combination 考查名词。空处在句中作主语,应用名词形式。
29.an 考查冠词。空处修饰单数可数名词,表示泛指,用不定冠词;空后单词“endless”的发音为元音音素开头,故填an。
