教材同步单元练习
一、阅读理解
Passage 1
The magnetic pull of a city lies not just in its skylines or economic opportunities,but in its unique sense of
place-a complex tapestry woven from geography,history,and human experience.One of the most
fascinating examples of this is the city of Chongqing in southwest China.Often described as amountain
city"and a"city of rivers,"its urban landscape is a dramatic vertical maze,a stark contrast to the
sprawling flatlands of cities like Beijing or Shanghai.
The city's topography,where the Yangtze and Jialing rivers converge,has fundamentally shaped its
character.Unlike cities where the main mode of transport is the horizontal movement of cars and buses,
Chongqing's identity is built around verticality.Its public transport system is legendary,featuring the
world's largest fleet of monorails that snake through and even through apartment buildings.The"Liziba
Station"is a prime example of this,where the light rail train passes directly through a residential block,a
phenomenon that never fails to impress tourists and indicate the city's pragmatic,space-saving solutions.
This isn't just a fancy feature,it's a necessity bomn from the city's geography.
The city's history is as layered as its streets.As a wartime capital during the Second Sino-Japanese War,it
saw an immense influx of people and industry,transforming it from a regional hub into a national
powerhouse.This period left an indelible mark,creating a culture of resilience and innovation.The spiit
of the people,often described as"Ha Pi"(happy and carefree yet tough),is a direct reflection of a life
lived on steep slopes and amidst challenging conditions.One might find themselves admiring a hotpot
restaurant perched precariously on a hillside,its patrons enjoying a meal that was originally a simple,
hearty dish for laborers.This opportunity to experience a meal with such historical depth is something
you wouldn't find in a more sanitized,downtown commercial center.
However,this dramatic growth hasn't come without disappointments.The city's structure,while
fascinating,can be disorienting for newcomers.A road map is nearly useless,as streets exist on multiple
levels.A street-level entrance to a building might actually be the 10th floor on the other side.The sheer
number of stairs,or"bubans,"can be physically challenging.Furthermore,the rapid modemnization has
led to the demolition of many older,historic neighborhoods,a fact that disappoints those who appreciate
the city's original,unpolished charm.Tourists who fancy a walk through ancient alleys often find
themselves instead in a crowded square surrounded by gleaming high-rises.Afterwards,they may feel
that the soul of the old city is being lost amidst the new.
Despite these challenges,Chongqing's distinctive character remains a powerful draw.It is a city that
aggressively refuses to be boring.It offers a masterclass in how geography and human will can co-create
a unique urban environment.For any traveler seeking something beyond the ordinary,a tip downtown in
Chongqing is not just a visit,it's an experience that will fundamentally change how you perceive what a
city can be.
()1.What is the main pupose of the passage?
A.To discuss the disadvantages of Chongqing's rapid modernization.
B.To illustrate how Chongqing's geography and history have shaped its unique character.
C.To compare Chongqing's public transport with that of Beijing and Shanghai.
D.To encourage tourists to visit the historical neighborhoods of Chongqing.
()2.The word"verticality"in paragraph 2 most probably refers to.
A.the horizontal spread of the city
B.the city's transportation system
C.the city's development in an upward-downward direction
D.the city's economic opportunities
()3.What can be inferred about Chongqing's public transport system?
A.It is based on a sprawling network of buses and cars.
B.It lacks the efficiency and innovation of other cities.
C.It is a direct result of the city's geographical constraints.
D.It mainly focuses on connecting the downtown area with the suburbs
()4.According to the passage,which of the following is a potential DISAPPOINTMENT for tourists?
A.The city's famous spicy hotpot.
B.The experience of riding a monorail through a building.
C.The disappearance of some old neighborhoods
D.The convenience provided by the public transport system.
()5.What does the author imply about the spinit of the people in Chongqing?
A.It is primarily influenced by the city's modern economy.
B.It is a reflection of the challenging physical environment.
C.It makes them less welcoming to newcomers.
D.It is best experienced in the downtown commercial areas.
Passage 2
When we imagine the geography of our planet,we tend to think of continents as stable,permanent
features of the Earth.This view,however,is a dramatic oversimplification.The theory of plate tectonics,
which revolutionized earth science in the mid-20th century,indicates that the Earth's outer shell is divided
into several large plates that are in constant,albeit incredibly slow,motion.The movement of these plates
is the fundamental force behind earthquakes,volcanic eruptions,and the creation of mountain ranges,
constantly reshaping the structure of our world.
The process begins deep within the Earth's mantle,where convection currents-cycles of hot rock rising
and cooler rock sinking-generate immense force.These forces cause the tectonic plates to move at a rate
of a few centimeters per year,roughly the same speed at which fingemails grow.Despite this seemingly
slow speed,the energy accumulated over millions of years can be released catastrophically.One of the
most well-known examples of this is the "Ring of Fire,"a path along the Pacific Ocean characterized by
active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes.This zone,which features heavily in geological studies,is a
direct result of the Pacific Plate colliding with and being subducted(pushed under)by surrounding plates.
The consequences of these movements are visible in some of the world's most awe-inspiring landscapes.
The majestic Himalayan mountain range,for instance,was formed over 50 million years ago when the
Indian Plate collided with the Eurasian Plate.This collision,which continues to this day,is a testament to
the immense power of plate tectonics.One of the most interesting things about this process is that it
doesn't just create mountains,it creates entire ecosystems and influences climate patterns,affecting the
position of rivers and rain shadows.Tourists who admire the towering peaks of the Himalayas are,in a
very real sense,admiring the product of a planetary-scale geological event that is still in progress.
However,our understanding of these movements is not without its challenges.The study of ancient plate
movements,known as paleogeography,relies on indirect evidence,such as the magnetic properties of
rocks and the distribution of fossils.For example,the discovery of identical fossil species on continents
that are now separated by vast oceans,like the Mesosaurus in South America and Afica,provided crucial
early evidence for the theory of continental drift,indicating that these landmasses were once joined
together.The fact that these ancient organisms couldn't possibly have crossed the Atlantic Ocean strongly
supported the idea of a supercontinent,which scientists have named Pangaea.This opportunity to piece
together the history of our planet from such indirect clues is a fascinating aspect of the field
While the movement of plates might seem like an abstract concept,it has a profound and direct impact on
our daily lives.It dictates where we build our cities,how we construct our buildings,and even the
distribution of natural resources like oil and minerals.Scientists are constantly developing new models to
better predict tectonic activity,hoping that one day we can more accurately foreshadow the destructive
potential of earthquakes.The study of plate tectonics,therefore,is not merely an academic exercise;it is a
crucial endeavor for understanding the past,navigating the present,and preparing for the future of our
dynamic planet.
()1.What is the main topic of the passage?
A.The theory of continental drift.
B.The structure of the Earth's mantle
C.The mechanisms and consequences of plate tectonics.
D.The formation of the Himalayan mountain range.
()2.The word "subducted"in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to.
A.pulled to the surface
B.pushed up into the sky
C.forced under another plate
D.separated into two parts
()3.Which of the following does the author cite as evidence for the theory of continental drift?
A.The existence of the "Ring of Fire".
B.The formation of the Himalayas.
C.The discovery of similar fossils on different continents.
D.The slow movement of the Earth's tectonic plates.
()4.What can be inferred about the author's attitude towards the study of plate tectonics?
A.It is an outdated and oversimplified theory.
B.It is vitally important for understanding many aspects of our world.
C.It is an interesting but impractical area of study
D.It is primarily valuable for predicting volcanic eruptions.
()5.The most important impact of plate tectonics on human life,as implied in the passage,is its role in.
A.creating beautiful mountain ranges for tourism
B.determining the distribution of fossil fuels
C.allowing for the prediction of all earthquakes
D.forming the landforms that shape human civilization

It was a perfect summer day when my family and I decided to explore the old districts of our city.I had

Read the following passage and answer the questions in complete sentences
Legends of the Lost City
Deep in the rainforests of Honduras,an ancient rumor has persisted for centuries:the existence of a
"White City,"a legendary metropolis ofimmense wealth and advanced culture,often referred to by locals
as the "City of the Monkey God."Unlike other myths that have been disproven by science,this one has
stubbornly refused to die.For years,explorers and archaeologists considered it a fancy tale,a story meant
to disappoint the gold-seeking conquistadors.However,recent technological advances,particularly the
use of LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging),have changed everything.
LIDAR is a remote sensing method that uses laser light to map the ground,even through dense forest
canopy.In 2012,an aerial LIDAR survey of a remote area of the Honduran rainforest indicated
something remarkable:the signature of man-made structures hidden beneath the jungle.This was a major
opportunity for archaeologists.A ground expedition was quickly organized.The team had to transport all
their equipment by helicopter and mule,trekking through extremely difficult terrain.After a long and
dangerous joumey,they found itstone foundations,pyramids,and intricate carvings.One of the most
interesting features of these ruins was the collection of stone sculptures,including a magnificent head of a
jaguar-like figure.For the scientists,this was not a disappointment,it was the discovery of a lifetime
The discovery quickly became a global headline.News articles featured the story of the "lost city,"
describing the structure of the ruins and the artifacts found there.The site,however,remains a highly
sensitive area.Its exact position is kept a secret to protect it from looters.Scientists are now focused on
careful excavation and preservation,fearing that a sudden influx of tourism would damage this fragile
piece of history.The city,it seems,prefers to keep its secrets safe,even after being rediscovered.
1.What is the "City of the Monkey God,"and how was it initially regarded by explorers?
2.What technological tool was crucial in finding the city,and how did it work?
3.Why was the discovery not a disappointment for the scientists?
4.What measures have been taken to protect the newly discovered site?
5.According to the passage,what is the current focus of scientific work at the site?

假设你是李华,你的英国朋友Tom下个月将第一次来中国旅行,他计划在上海和杭州各停留三
天。他对中国文化很感兴趣,但担心在这两个“现代都市”找不到他期待的“历史感”。
请你给他写一封回信,内容包括:
1.简要安慰他,并肯定他的担心是有道理的。
2.各为他推荐上海和杭州的一个地方或体验,来证明这两座城市同样充满了历史与文化的魅
力。
3.比较这两个地方的不同特点,并给出你的旅行建议。
要求:
1.词数约120-150词:
2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯:
3.开头与结尾已为你写好。
Dear Tom,
I'm so glad to hear about your upcoming trip to China!I totally understand your concern about finding
"historical feel"in Shanghai and Hangzhou.They are indeed modemn cities,but their history is just as
fascinating
In Shanghai,you absolutely must visit the Yu Garden (Yuyuan Garden)in the old city.It's a classic,
serene structure hidden in the downtown area.Its beautiful rockeries and pavilions offer a perfect contrast
to the skyscrapers nearby.It will transport you back to the Ming Dynasty and show you the elegant side
of old Shanghai.
In Hangzhou,don't just take a walk by West Lake.Instead,rent a boat and visit Xiao Yingzhou (Three
Pools Mirroring the Moon).The lake itself is a living historical poem.The opportunity to see the moon
reflected in the lake is an experience that the poet Su Dongpo admired over a thousand years ago
Compared to the controlled,contained history of Yu Garden,the history of West Lake is vast,natural,and
romantic.
My advice is to start with the refined history of Shanghai's garden,and then enjoy the open,poetic history
of Hangzhou's lake.The contrast will give you a richer picture of Chinese culture.
I hope these suggestions help.I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time discovering the old soul of these new
cities!
Best wishes,
Li Hua
