Section Ⅰ　“Understanding ideas”的课文习读环节 [课时跟踪检测]　　　(标语篇配有教师讲评课件) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A I have now spent a week in the Amazon jungle in Brazil. The jungle is filled with many kinds of animals, birds, and fish. But chances of seeing these creatures are small, because they are easily frightened. Crocodiles, turtles, electric eels, and fish live in the Amazon River. During a canoe ride one night, I sat quietly for almost an hour, trying to spot some of the jungle's creatures. With a flashlight, I finally saw squirrel monkeys running along tree branches. A crocodile eyed our canoe as it moved through the water. On our return to camp, I saw a large, hairy tarantula sitting on a tree stump (树桩)． Several native tribes make their homes along the banks of the Amazon River. For most of them, their style of living has hardly changed in the past 4,000 years. I visited a village of the Yagua tribe. The people were interested in me, but cautious. The Yagua are shy people who will probably never get used to the sight of tourists. The Yagua live on high wooden platforms covered by thatched roofs. They eat whatever the jungle supplies, including fish, bananas, and yucca plants. The men wear grass skirts and hats. They paint red dye made from berries on their faces and necks. The women and children wear skirts of cloth and shirts of straw, but are not “made up” as the men are. The men spend the day hunting with blowguns that shoot poison darts. Meanwhile, the women and children keep the village in good order and make beads and the blowguns. Before I left the village, the children asked me to write my name for them. They watched me with great interest as I wrote. I was sad to leave the village but grateful that the Yagua had been willing to share their lives with me. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者去亚马孙河旁的亚瓜部落的旅途经历。 1．Why are animals difficult to be spotted?

The monumental construction was found in the shallow waters off the coast of Salamis during excavation (挖掘) work that took place in June and July last year.The Greek Culture Ministry, which announced the discovery, said it dates back to the time of the Battle of Salamis — a naval battle between Greek and Persian states.Underwater researchers were carrying out a study of the area when they found the remains in the shallow waters.They believed it was a large public building that was used until the late Roman times, in the third century C．E. The researchers said it would likely have been one of the main public buildings in the area.The team found many other features relating to the building and marble sculptures.This, the ministry said, appears to date back to the fourth century B．C.E. During the 2018 study, the researchers used a new technique where a flexible barrier was constructed, allowing them to drain (排水) the area being excavated, get a better view of the site and take samples of the remains, helping them date the building. The discovery of the building is important as it is helping the researchers reconstruct the geography of the area 2,500 years ago.At this time — 480 B．C.E.— the Battle of Salamis took place in the straits between Salamis Island and mainland Greece.Following successful invasions (入侵) by the Persian army, the Greek ships had withdrawn to Salamis.At this point Themistocles, a politician and general, convinced Greek friends to fight, a report of the battle by the U．K.'s Cardiff University notes.The Persians thought they had the advantage.They entered the straits of Salamis with a view to blocking the entrance.However, their large ships failed to operate well in the tight waterways and the Greeks were victorious.After this win, the Greeks defeated the Persians in several other key battles, ending the period of invasion. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了水下研究人员发现了古希腊的一座巨大建筑的遗迹，以及这一发现的意义。 5．What can be learned about the huge building? A．It was ruined during a naval battle. B．It was still used after Roman times. C．It was built after the Battle of Salamis. D．It was discovered in the shallow waters. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第二段“The monumental construction was found ... and July last year.”可知，句中“monumental construction”代指文章第一段提到的“huge building”，它是在萨拉米斯海岸的浅水区发现的。 6．What's paragraph 4 mainly about? A．Why the researchers built a barrier. B．How the researchers drained the area. C．Why the researchers dated the building. D．How the researchers conducted the study. 解析：选D　段落大意题。第四段主要讲述了研究人员使用了一种新技术，使他们能够排出挖掘区域的水，更好地查看现场、采集遗迹样本和确定建筑物的年代。由此可知，第四段主要讲述了研究人员是如何进行这项研究的。 7．What's the meaning of studying the remains? A．It tells people of a great politician's achievements. B．It shows why the Persian army carried out invasions. C．It helps the researchers know what the area used to be like. D．It confirms the report by the U．K.'s Cardiff University. 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据最后一段“The discovery of the building is important ... the geography of the area 2,500 years ago.”可知，研究该遗迹的意义是有助于研究人员了解该地区过去是什么样子的。 8．What do we know about the Battle of Salamis? A．It ended with the Greeks' victory. B．It put an end to the Persians' invasion. C．It took place in the mainland of Greece. D．It forced the Persians to abandon their ships. 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，在萨拉米斯战役中，希腊人取得了胜利，最终结束了入侵时期。由此可知，萨拉米斯战役以希腊人的胜利而告终。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五() A city in the jungle In the summer of 1848，in Guatemala，a man called Ambrosio Tut went out into the jungle (丛林), as he did almost every day.Tut was a gum (树胶) collector，looking for gum in the jungle. __9__ One day, he got to the top of one tree and something caught his eyes. He looked out across the trees and saw the tops of some old buildings. __10__ He ran to tell the local governor excitedly, and together they walked into the jungle.There they found Tikal，the city that the Mayans had built, many hundreds of years before.The two men saw pyramids (金字塔), squares and houses. For a long time before that day, local people had known that somewhere in the jungle there was an old Mayan city. __11__ Between 200 and 900 AD, the city of Tikal had been the centre of Mayan civilisation in the area, but then the Mayans left it — nobody knows why! After 1 000 AD, the jungle began to cover it. __12__ Seven years before Tut found Tikal, two British explorers had gone to Guatemala and had written a report about Mayan treasures in the jungle — but they hadn't mentioned Tikal. Even earlier than this, local Indians had told people about a great city hidden in the trees, but no one had listened to them. __13__ Now the lost city had been found again, and people went there immediately to see it. A．But no one had seen it for centuries. B．To do this, he had to climb the trees. C．And then people forgot that it was there. D．So they lost the chance to find the treasure. E．Tut found many other treasures after that. F．More and more scientists began to study the Mayan city. G．Tut didn't really know what he had seen but he knew it was something special. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。Tut在危地马拉的丛林里寻找树胶的时候发现了消失已久的玛雅古城——蒂卡尔。 9．选B　根据上文中的“Tut was a gum (树胶) collector，looking for gum in the jungle”及下文中的“he got to the top of one tree”可知，Tut是树胶采集者，他得爬树采集树胶。 10．选G　根据下文中的“He ran to tell ... walked into the jungle”可知，Tut不知道他看到的是什么建筑，但他知道那肯定不一般，所以他兴奋地跑去找当地的长官同他前往那里一探究竟。 11．选A　根据上文中的“For a long time before that day ... there was an old Mayan city”及下文中的“After 1 000 AD, the jungle began to cover it”可知，当地人知道丛林里有一座玛雅古城，但几百年来都没有人见过它。 12．选C　根据上文中的“the jungle began to cover it”可知，森林覆盖住了这座玛雅古城，所以人们渐渐地忘记了它的存在。 13．选D　根据上文中的“Even earlier than this ... had listened to them”可知，当地印第安人曾告诉人们丛林里有一座恢宏的城市，但人们都不相信，因而失去了发现蒂卡尔这个宝藏的机会。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
