The 72-year-old then planned to go to China on foot. This meant she would travel about 22,000 kilometers and walk through 15 countries. The journey would be full of challenges, but she wasn’t afraid. The traveler carried only a bag. “I also have a lot of interests with me,” she said. On August 29, 2024, she finally set foot on China’s land. Cammarota’s trip was encouraged by Marco Polo. The Italian explorer traveled to China along the ancient Silk Road more than 700 years ago. For her, the journey was more than following Marco Polo’s footsteps. She wanted to see what China’s Belt and Road Initiative had brought to the land. By sharing her experiences, she now hopes her travels will help people in the West see the true beauty of China. Cammarota’s interest in China began more than 20 years ago. A Chinese student stayed in her home and told her a lot about the country’s rich cultural heritage. Cammarota plans to spend two years in China. She will visit key stops along the ancient Silk Road: first Kashgar (喀什), Dunhuang, and then the historic city of Xi’an. After that she’ll visit Suzhou, the city described as the “Venice of the East” by Marco Polo. She plans to end her trip in Beijing to mark the 750th anniversary of Marco Polo’s arrival to China. Cammarota calls herself an ambassador (大使) of cultural exchange and a modern-day Marco Polo. “I want people to know about the Silk Road,” she said. “I also want to send a message to women my age: It’s never too late to go for your dreams.” 1. What did Vienna Cammarota carry on her way to China? A. A bag. B. Italian food. C. Interesting maps. D. Some silk. 2. How long did it take Cammarota to reach China from Venice? A. Less than 2 years. B. About 2.5 years. C. More than 4 years. D. About 20 years. 3. Which of the following probably shows Cammarota’s travelling route (线路) in China? A. B. C. D. 4. What can we learn about Vienna Cammarota from the text? A. She was nervous about how difficult the journey would be. B. She wants to encourage young women to follow their dreams. C. She became interested in China after studying Chinese in China. D. She hopes to build a better understanding between the East and West. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. A 4. D 【导语】本文主要讲了72岁的意大利旅行者维也纳·卡马罗塔从威尼斯徒步前往中国，此次行程受马可·波罗启发，意在感受一带一路成果、促进中西文化交流，还计划在中国游览多地并鼓励同龄人追寻梦想的故事。 【解析】1. 细节理解题。根据“The traveler carried only a bag.”可知，维也纳·卡马罗塔前往中国的路上只带了一个包。故选A。 2. 细节理解题。根据“On April 26, 2022, Italian traveler Vienna Cammarota set off from Venice.”和“On August 29, 2024, she finally set foot on China’s land.”可知，她2022年4月出发，2024年8月抵达中国，耗时约2.5年。故选B。 3. 细节理解题。根据“She will visit key stops along the ancient Silk Road: first Kashgar, Dunhuang, and then the historic city of Xi’an. After that she’ll visit Suzhou... She plans to end her trip in Beijing.”可知，她在中国的旅行路线是喀什—敦煌—西安—苏州—北京。故选A。 4. 推理判断题。根据“By sharing her experiences, she now hopes her travels will help people in the West see the true beauty of China.”和“Cammarota calls herself an ambassador of cultural exchange”可知，她希望自己的旅行能让西方人了解中国，成为文化交流的大使，也就是希望促进东西方之间的相互理解。故选D。 长难句解析 原句：(第一段第三句) This meant she would travel about 22,000 kilometers and walk through 15 countries. 译文：这意味着她将行程约22,000公里，穿越15个国家。 分析：本句包含一个省略了引导词 "that" 的宾语从句。主句是 "This meant..."，后面紧跟的 "she would travel... and walk through..." 是宾语从句，作 "meant" 的宾语。在宾语从句内部，包含了一个由 "and" 连接的并列谓语结构："would travel about 22,000 kilometers" 和 "(would) walk through 15 countries"，说明了这次旅行的具体规模。 原句：(第三段第三句) For her, the journey was more than following Marco Polo’s footsteps. 译文：对她来说，这次旅程不仅仅是追随马可·波罗的脚步。 分析：本句包含一个介词短语作表语的结构。主句的主语是 "the journey"，系动词是 "was"。表语部分 "more than following Marco Polo’s footsteps" 中，"more than" 是固定搭配，意为“不仅仅是、超过”，后面接动名词短语 "following Marco Polo’s footsteps" 作宾语，强调了这次旅行意义的丰富性，超越了单纯的模仿。 译文 2022年4月26日，意大利旅行家维也纳·卡玛罗塔（Vienna Cammarota）从威尼斯出发。这位72岁的老人随后计划徒步前往中国。这意味着她将行程约22,000公里，穿越15个国家。旅途将充满挑战，但她并不害怕。 这位旅行者只带了一个包。“我也带着很多兴趣同行，”她说。2024年8月29日，她终于踏上了中国的土地。 卡玛罗塔的旅行受到了马可·波罗的鼓舞。这位意大利探险家曾在700多年前沿着古丝绸之路前往中国。对她来说，这次旅程不仅仅是追随马可·波罗的脚步。她想看看中国的“一带一路”倡议给这片土地带来了什么。通过分享她的经历，她现在希望她的旅行能帮助西方人看到中国真正的美。 卡玛罗塔对中国的兴趣始于20多年前。当时一名中国学生住在她家，告诉了她很多关于这个国家丰富文化遗产的事情。 卡玛罗塔计划在中国度过两年。她将参观古丝绸之路沿线的主要站点：首先是喀什、敦煌，然后是历史名城西安。之后她将访问苏州，这座城市被马可·波罗描述为“东方威尼斯”。她计划在北京结束她的旅行，以纪念马可·波罗抵达中国750周年。 卡玛罗塔称自己为文化交流大使和现代版的马可·波罗。“我想让人们了解丝绸之路，”她说。“我也想向我这个年纪的女性传达一个信息：追求梦想永远不晚。” 重难点词汇 China’s Belt and Road Initiative “一带一路” heritage /ˈherɪtɪdʒ / n. 遗产 anniversary / ˌænɪˈvɜːsəri / n. 周年纪念日 ambassador / æmˈbæsədə(r) / n. 大使 Passage B（北京天坛） On May 14, 2026, Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump visited the Temple of Heaven. They took a photo in front of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests. The Temple of Heaven is a symbol of Beijing. 1      The Temple of Heaven was built in 1420 during the Ming Dynasty. For nearly 500 years, emperors came here to pray (祈祷) for good harvests and peace. The design is special. It follows the idea of “round heaven and square earth”. 2 All the main buildings use blue tiles to show the sky. This shows ancient Chinese ideas about the universe. It is a great example of the wisdom and art talent of ancient Chinese people. The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is the most famous building there. It is a large wooden building with 28 huge pillars. These pillars have special meanings. The four inner pillars stand for the four seasons. 3 The 12 outer pillars stand for the 12 two-hour periods of a day. Many other buildings in Beijing were built in the same style. More than just a historical relic, the Temple of Heaven has long been part of the daily life of local people. Every early morning, many people come here to practise tai chi and relax. It brings together rich history and the relaxing daily life of local people. 4 At this time of year, warm temperatures and pleasant natural views offer visitors an excellent sightseeing experience. It is very easy to get to the Temple of Heaven by underground or bus. Today, the Temple of Heaven is not only a witness to China’s long history but also a bridge for cultural exchange. 5 It also shows the beauty of Chinese culture to visitors from all over the world. A. The 12 middle pillars represent the 12 months. B. It tells people the wonderful traditions of ancient China. C. It is very famous for its long history and beautiful design. D. Spring and autumn are considered the best time to visit there. E. The northern walls are round, and the south walls are square. F. Visitors can learn about Beijing life after seeing the famous place. 【答案】1. C 2. E 3. A 4. D 5. B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍北京天坛，依次讲述天坛的历史渊源、“天圆地方”独特建筑设计、祈年殿立柱的象征含义、市民日常休闲功能、最佳游览时节与文化交流价值，展现天坛的历史底蕴与当代意义。 【解析】1. 前文提到“The Temple of Heaven is a symbol of Beijing.”，简单点明天坛是北京地标，后文整段开始介绍天坛建造历史、独特建筑设计。选项C“It is very famous for its long history and beautiful design.”起到承上启下作用，引出下文对历史与建筑的介绍。 2. 前文提到“It follows the idea of ‘round heaven and square earth’.”，本空需要具象化解释“天圆地方”的建筑体现，选项E“The northern walls are round, and the south walls are square.”用天坛南北墙体不同造型直观诠释这一传统宇宙理念，与后文蓝色琉璃瓦象征天空的内容相互配合，完整讲解天坛的设计巧思。 3. 本段介绍祈年殿28根巨柱的寓意，前文说明四根内柱代表四季，后文说明十二根外柱代表一日十二时辰，选项A“The 12 middle pillars represent the 12 months.”补齐十二根中柱对应的十二个月份，完整对应28根立柱的全部内涵。 4. 后文“At this time of year”存在指代，且描写温和宜人的游览环境，选项D“Spring and autumn are considered the best time to visit there.”中的春秋两季正是后文“this time”的指代内容，本段围绕天坛游览展开，前后话题统一。 5. 前文点明天坛兼具历史见证与文化交流桥梁的双重意义，后文以“It also shows”构成递进表达，选项B“It tells people the wonderful traditions of ancient China.”阐述天坛承载古代传统，与后文向全球游客展示中华文化之美形成递进，共同体现天坛的文化传播作用。 长难句解析 原句：(第六段第一句) Today, the Temple of Heaven is not only a witness to China’s long history but also a bridge for cultural exchange. 译文：如今，天坛不仅是中国悠久历史的见证，也是一座文化交流的桥梁。 分析：本句使用not only… but also…（不仅…… 而且……）并列结构。主语是the Temple of Heaven；Today是时间状语。not only后接表语a witness to China’s long history，to China’s long history介词短语作后置定语修饰witness；but also后接表语a bridge for cultural exchange，for cultural exchange介词短语作后置定语修饰bridge。 原句：(第四段第一句) More than just a historical relic, the Temple of Heaven has long been part of the daily life of local people. 译文：天坛不仅仅是一处历史遗迹，长久以来它也早已成为当地人日常生活的一部分。 分析：句首More than just a historical relic是形容词短语作让步状语；主语the Temple of Heaven；谓语has long been，现在完成时；表语part of the daily life of local people；of local people介词短语作后置定语修饰life。 译文 2026 年 5 月 14 日，中国国家主席习近平与美国总统唐纳德・特朗普参观天坛。二人在祈年殿前合影。天坛是北京的象征，因其悠久的历史与精巧的建筑设计而闻名遐迩。 天坛始建于 1420 年的明朝。在近 500 年的时间里，帝王都会来到这里，祈求五谷丰登、天下太平。它的设计独具特色，遵循 “天圆地方” 的理念：北墙呈圆形，南墙为方形。所有主体建筑都铺设蓝色琉璃瓦，以此象征天空，体现了中国古人的宇宙观，是古代中国人民智慧与艺术造诣的杰出典范。 祈年殿是天坛最知名的建筑。这是一座大型木质建筑，殿内立有 28 根巨柱，每根柱子都有特殊寓意：四根内柱代表一年四季；12 根中柱代表一年十二个月；12 根外柱代表一天的十二个时辰。北京还有许多其他建筑也采用了这种建筑风格。 天坛不仅仅是一处历史遗迹，长久以来，它也融入了当地人的日常生活。每天清晨，很多人都会来到这里打太极、休闲放松。厚重的历史底蕴与当地人闲适的日常在这里交融。 春季和秋季被认为是游览天坛的最佳时节。每年这个时候，气温宜人，自然风光秀美，能给游客带来极佳的观光体验。乘坐地铁或公交前往天坛都十分便利。 如今，天坛不仅见证着中国悠久的历史，更是一座文化交流的桥梁。它向人们讲述古代中国灿烂的传统，也向来自世界各地的游客展示中华文化之美。 重难点词汇 tile / taɪl / n. 瓷砖 pillar / ˈpɪlər / n. 支柱 relic / ˈrelɪk / n. 遗迹 1.

Zhang Qian Zhang Qian was a great explorer (探险家). More than 2,000 years ago, the king asked him to go to the far west. It was a very dangerous trip, but Zhang Qian did not give up. He opened a way to the Western Regions (西域). Later, businessmen used this road to carry silk and tea. That was the beginning of the Silk Road. Zheng He Zheng He was a famous sailor (航海家). During the Ming Dynasty, he led a huge fleet (船队) to visit other countries. He went on seven trips to the Indian Ocean in 28 years. He gave Chinese gifts like silk and china to other people and brought back strange animals like the giraffe. Xu Xiake Xu Xiake was a great geographer. Different from Zhang and Zheng, he traveled inside China. He walked across 16 modern provinces to find the true source (源头) of the Yangtze River. He wrote his observations (观察) in his diary.

Like many exchange students, she experienced what scientists call “culture shock”—a feeling of confusion and anxiety when facing a new and unfamiliar environment. However, instead of hiding in her room, Emily decided to face the challenge head-on. She started by learning to cook local dishes with her host family. “The first time I tried to make dumplings, they looked more like little boats than proper dumplings,” she laughs. “But my host mother, Mrs. Wang, never laughed at me. She just smiled and showed me how to fold the dough again and again.” Gradually, Emily began to discover the beauty of Lianyungang. She visited the Huaguo Mountain, where she was fascinated by the stories of the Monkey King. She walked along the seaside, collecting colorful shells and watching fishermen bring in their daily catch. She even joined a local calligraphy club, where she learned to write Chinese characters with a brush. “The most important thing I’ve learned is that different doesn’t mean wrong,” Emily says. “In the UK, we usually finish all the food on our plates to show we enjoyed the meal. But in China, my host family often left a little food to show they were full and satisfied. At first, I was confused, but now I understand that both are just different ways of being polite.” Professor Zhang Wei, who studies cultural exchange at Lianyungang Normal University, says Emily’s experience is valuable. “What Emily did is exactly what we hope all young people can do—embrace differences with an open mind and a brave heart. In today’s globalized world, this ability is more important than ever.” By the end of her six-month stay, Emily could make dumplings that looked almost as good as Mrs. Wang’s, and she gave a speech in Chinese at her school’s farewell party. “I came here as a stranger,” she said, “but I’m leaving as part of a family.” 1. How did Emily feel when she first arrived in Lianyungang? A. Excited and curious. B. Confused and anxious. C. Angry and disappointed. D. Tired and sleepy. 2. What did Emily do to deal with her difficulties? A. She stayed in her room most of the time. B. She called her mom for help every day. C. She actively learned about local culture. D. She asked to change to a different host family. 3. What does the underlined word “embrace” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A. refuse B. accept C. remember D. protect 4. What lesson can we learn from Emily’s story? A. East or west, home is best. B. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. C. Different cultures can enrich our lives. D. Learning Chinese is too difficult. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B 4. C 【导语】本文讲述一名14岁英国交换生初到连云港时感到文化冲击，但她勇敢面对差异，学习烹饪、游览景点、体验书法，最终融入当地生活，收获成长与家庭般的温暖。 【解析】1. 第一段最后一句“...experienced what scientists call ‘culture shock’—a feeling of confusion and anxiety...”表明，Emily初到连云港时感到困惑和焦虑。 2. 第二段“...instead of hiding in her room, Emily decided to face the challenge head-on. She started by learning to cook local dishes...”以及第三段提到的参观花果山、加入书法俱乐部等经历可知，她积极学习当地文化来应对困难。 3. 第五段句子“...embrace differences with an open mind and a brave heart...”以及全文Emily接受并适应新文化的主题可推断，此处划线单词意为“接受”。 4. 全文讲述了Emily通过体验和理解不同文化，从感到迷失到融入家庭并获得成长的故事，教授也指出这种能力在全球化世界很重要。这说明不同的文化可以丰富我们的生活。 Passage 1 （2025-2026·广东广州期末考）Have you ever been on an exchange program? In our school’s online space, we have exchange students sharing their real experiences, from host family relationships to funny memories. What would you share? Show us your own story! Daria: I think at first it was a little bit challenging to get used to the life there. The shock was the type of family for me because I never had any brothers or sisters and now I have 4. I tried to talk and go out with them as much as I can to meet them better. Don’t close yourself in your room. That is my advice for future students. The host family probably would like to meet you more and they would like to spend a good time with you and make this experience good and memorable for you. Amina: I was sick one day. I was missing my mom’s soup, so I asked my host mom if she could make me my favorite chicken soup—what she made was really good, but chicken soup in the U. S. is totally different. I was sad at first because I couldn’t eat something that tasted like home. However, I realize it’s probably common for a lot of students that food is different from that at home. Julia: What I will miss most about my host family is the warmth and love. At first, I was surprised by the slang (俚语) words, which were totally different from the English I learned from textbooks. When I had difficulty understanding, they never laughed but patiently listened and taught me. I’ll miss our late-night talks, the support they’ve given me, and the feeling of home they created for me. 1. What kind of person do you think Daria is? A. Hard-working. B. Honest. C. Outgoing. D. Helpful. 2. What was Amina’s problem? A. She missed the food at home. B. She missed her friends so much. C. She didn’t like American food at all. D. She was always sick in another country. 3. Which is NOT the culture shock mentioned in the passage? A. Languages. B. Food. C. Late-night talks. D. The type of family. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. C 【导语】本文分享了三位交换生在国外的真实经历和感受。Daria讲述了如何适应拥有四个兄弟姐妹的寄宿家庭；Amina提到了因饮食差异而产生的思乡之情；Julia则回忆了寄宿家庭给予她的温暖、支持以及帮助她克服语言障碍的经历。 【解析】1. 根据Daria所说的话“I tried to talk and go out with them as much as I can... Don’t close yourself in your room.”可知，她主动与人交流，不愿封闭自己，性格是外向的。 2. 根据Amina所说的话“I was missing my mom’s soup...I was sad at first because I couldn’t eat something that tasted like home.”可知，她遇到的问题是思念家乡的食物。 3. 文中Daria提到了家庭类型的冲击（The shock was the type of family）；Amina提到了食物的差异（food is different）；Julia提到了语言的差异（slang words...totally different）。而Julia提到的“late-night talks”（深夜谈话）是她怀念的美好回忆（I’ll miss...），并非文化冲击。 Passage 2 （2024-2025·广东深圳期中考）People in the West name their family members in different ways I came to China many years ago, but I still have problems calling my Chinese husband’s relatives the right names. There are many differences in what we call our family members in China and the West. Remembering the right names Every time I visit my husband’s family in China, I feel nervous. His two aunties come and I can never remember their names. Are they “Xiao Gu” or “Er Gu” or something else? In English-speaking countries, for aunts and uncles, we just add their names at the end, for example: “Aunt Jenny”, or just call them by their first name. However, something similar to Chinese happens in my family, too. My dad and cousin are both named Anthony. So, we call them “big Anthony” and “little Anthony”! When in Rome do as the Romans do In China, it is a tradition to call your parents-in-law (配偶的父母) “Mom” and “Dad”. Though it made me feel a little uncomfortable, I took up this custom because my husband is Chinese. My husband started doing the same for my parents, but I told him to just call them by their first names. That’s what we do back in Australia. Then, my mom called me to ask why my husband stopped calling her “Mom”. I said it was because I told him to. “But I like him calling me ‘Mom’”, she said. My mom must be Chinese at heart! 1. How does the author feel when visiting her husband’s family in China? A. Excited. B. Nervous. C. Confused. D. Uncomfortable 2.

The 72-year-old then planned to go to China on foot. This meant she would travel about 22,000 kilometers and walk through 15 countries. The journey would be full of challenges, but she wasn’t afraid. The traveler carried only a bag. “I also have a lot of interests with me,” she said. On August 29, 2024, she finally set foot on China’s land. Cammarota’s trip was encouraged by Marco Polo. The Italian explorer traveled to China along the ancient Silk Road more than 700 years ago. For her, the journey was more than following Marco Polo’s footsteps. She wanted to see what China’s Belt and Road Initiative had brought to the land. By sharing her experiences, she now hopes her travels will help people in the West see the true beauty of China. Cammarota’s interest in China began more than 20 years ago. A Chinese student stayed in her home and told her a lot about the country’s rich cultural heritage. Cammarota plans to spend two years in China. She will visit key stops along the ancient Silk Road: first Kashgar (喀什), Dunhuang, and then the historic city of Xi’an. After that she’ll visit Suzhou, the city described as the “Venice of the East” by Marco Polo. She plans to end her trip in Beijing to mark the 750th anniversary of Marco Polo’s arrival to China. Cammarota calls herself an ambassador (大使) of cultural exchange and a modern-day Marco Polo. “I want people to know about the Silk Road,” she said. “I also want to send a message to women my age: It’s never too late to go for your dreams.” 1. What did Vienna Cammarota carry on her way to China? A. A bag. B. Italian food. C. Interesting maps. D. Some silk. 2. How long did it take Cammarota to reach China from Venice? A. Less than 2 years. B. About 2.5 years. C. More than 4 years. D. About 20 years. 3. Which of the following probably shows Cammarota’s travelling route (线路) in China? A. B. C. D. 4. What can we learn about Vienna Cammarota from the text? A. She was nervous about how difficult the journey would be. B. She wants to encourage young women to follow their dreams. C. She became interested in China after studying Chinese in China. D. She hopes to build a better understanding between the East and West. 长难句解析 原句：(第一段第三句) This meant she would travel about 22,000 kilometers and walk through 15 countries. 译文：这意味着她将行程约22,000公里，穿越15个国家。 分析：本句包含一个省略了引导词 "that" 的宾语从句。主句是 "This meant..."，后面紧跟的 "she would travel... and walk through..." 是宾语从句，作 "meant" 的宾语。在宾语从句内部，包含了一个由 "and" 连接的并列谓语结构："would travel about 22,000 kilometers" 和 "(would) walk through 15 countries"，说明了这次旅行的具体规模。 原句：(第三段第三句) For her, the journey was more than following Marco Polo’s footsteps. 译文：对她来说，这次旅程不仅仅是追随马可·波罗的脚步。 分析：本句包含一个介词短语作表语的结构。主句的主语是 "the journey"，系动词是 "was"。表语部分 "more than following Marco Polo’s footsteps" 中，"more than" 是固定搭配，意为“不仅仅是、超过”，后面接动名词短语 "following Marco Polo’s footsteps" 作宾语，强调了这次旅行意义的丰富性，超越了单纯的模仿。 译文 2022年4月26日，意大利旅行家维也纳·卡玛罗塔（Vienna Cammarota）从威尼斯出发。这位72岁的老人随后计划徒步前往中国。这意味着她将行程约22,000公里，穿越15个国家。旅途将充满挑战，但她并不害怕。 这位旅行者只带了一个包。“我也带着很多兴趣同行，”她说。2024年8月29日，她终于踏上了中国的土地。 卡玛罗塔的旅行受到了马可·波罗的鼓舞。这位意大利探险家曾在700多年前沿着古丝绸之路前往中国。对她来说，这次旅程不仅仅是追随马可·波罗的脚步。她想看看中国的“一带一路”倡议给这片土地带来了什么。通过分享她的经历，她现在希望她的旅行能帮助西方人看到中国真正的美。 卡玛罗塔对中国的兴趣始于20多年前。当时一名中国学生住在她家，告诉了她很多关于这个国家丰富文化遗产的事情。 卡玛罗塔计划在中国度过两年。她将参观古丝绸之路沿线的主要站点：首先是喀什、敦煌，然后是历史名城西安。之后她将访问苏州，这座城市被马可·波罗描述为“东方威尼斯”。她计划在北京结束她的旅行，以纪念马可·波罗抵达中国750周年。 卡玛罗塔称自己为文化交流大使和现代版的马可·波罗。“我想让人们了解丝绸之路，”她说。“我也想向我这个年纪的女性传达一个信息：追求梦想永远不晚。” 重难点词汇 China’s Belt and Road Initiative “一带一路” heritage /ˈherɪtɪdʒ / n. 遗产 anniversary / ˌænɪˈvɜːsəri / n. 周年纪念日 ambassador / æmˈbæsədə(r) / n. 大使 Passage B（北京天坛） On May 14, 2026, Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump visited the Temple of Heaven. They took a photo in front of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests. The Temple of Heaven is a symbol of Beijing. 1      The Temple of Heaven was built in 1420 during the Ming Dynasty. For nearly 500 years, emperors came here to pray (祈祷) for good harvests and peace. The design is special. It follows the idea of “round heaven and square earth”. 2 All the main buildings use blue tiles to show the sky. This shows ancient Chinese ideas about the universe. It is a great example of the wisdom and art talent of ancient Chinese people. The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is the most famous building there. It is a large wooden building with 28 huge pillars. These pillars have special meanings. The four inner pillars stand for the four seasons. 3 The 12 outer pillars stand for the 12 two-hour periods of a day. Many other buildings in Beijing were built in the same style. More than just a historical relic, the Temple of Heaven has long been part of the daily life of local people. Every early morning, many people come here to practise tai chi and relax. It brings together rich history and the relaxing daily life of local people. 4 At this time of year, warm temperatures and pleasant natural views offer visitors an excellent sightseeing experience. It is very easy to get to the Temple of Heaven by underground or bus. Today, the Temple of Heaven is not only a witness to China’s long history but also a bridge for cultural exchange. 5 It also shows the beauty of Chinese culture to visitors from all over the world. A. The 12 middle pillars represent the 12 months. B. It tells people the wonderful traditions of ancient China. C. It is very famous for its long history and beautiful design. D. Spring and autumn are considered the best time to visit there. E. The northern walls are round, and the south walls are square. F. Visitors can learn about Beijing life after seeing the famous place. 长难句解析 原句：(第六段第一句) Today, the Temple of Heaven is not only a witness to China’s long history but also a bridge for cultural exchange. 译文：如今，天坛不仅是中国悠久历史的见证，也是一座文化交流的桥梁。 分析：本句使用not only… but also…（不仅…… 而且……）并列结构。主语是the Temple of Heaven；Today是时间状语。not only后接表语a witness to China’s long history，to China’s long history介词短语作后置定语修饰witness；but also后接表语a bridge for cultural exchange，for cultural exchange介词短语作后置定语修饰bridge。 原句：(第四段第一句) More than just a historical relic, the Temple of Heaven has long been part of the daily life of local people. 译文：天坛不仅仅是一处历史遗迹，长久以来它也早已成为当地人日常生活的一部分。 分析：句首More than just a historical relic是形容词短语作让步状语；主语the Temple of Heaven；谓语has long been，现在完成时；表语part of the daily life of local people；of local people介词短语作后置定语修饰life。 译文 2026 年 5 月 14 日，中国国家主席习近平与美国总统唐纳德・特朗普参观天坛。二人在祈年殿前合影。天坛是北京的象征，因其悠久的历史与精巧的建筑设计而闻名遐迩。 天坛始建于 1420 年的明朝。在近 500 年的时间里，帝王都会来到这里，祈求五谷丰登、天下太平。它的设计独具特色，遵循 “天圆地方” 的理念：北墙呈圆形，南墙为方形。所有主体建筑都铺设蓝色琉璃瓦，以此象征天空，体现了中国古人的宇宙观，是古代中国人民智慧与艺术造诣的杰出典范。 祈年殿是天坛最知名的建筑。这是一座大型木质建筑，殿内立有 28 根巨柱，每根柱子都有特殊寓意：四根内柱代表一年四季；12 根中柱代表一年十二个月；12 根外柱代表一天的十二个时辰。北京还有许多其他建筑也采用了这种建筑风格。 天坛不仅仅是一处历史遗迹，长久以来，它也融入了当地人的日常生活。每天清晨，很多人都会来到这里打太极、休闲放松。厚重的历史底蕴与当地人闲适的日常在这里交融。 春季和秋季被认为是游览天坛的最佳时节。每年这个时候，气温宜人，自然风光秀美，能给游客带来极佳的观光体验。乘坐地铁或公交前往天坛都十分便利。 如今，天坛不仅见证着中国悠久的历史，更是一座文化交流的桥梁。它向人们讲述古代中国灿烂的传统，也向来自世界各地的游客展示中华文化之美。 重难点词汇 tile / taɪl / n. 瓷砖 pillar / ˈpɪlər / n. 支柱 relic / ˈrelɪk / n. 遗迹 1.

Zhang Qian Zhang Qian was a great explorer (探险家). More than 2,000 years ago, the king asked him to go to the far west. It was a very dangerous trip, but Zhang Qian did not give up. He opened a way to the Western Regions (西域). Later, businessmen used this road to carry silk and tea. That was the beginning of the Silk Road. Zheng He Zheng He was a famous sailor (航海家). During the Ming Dynasty, he led a huge fleet (船队) to visit other countries. He went on seven trips to the Indian Ocean in 28 years. He gave Chinese gifts like silk and china to other people and brought back strange animals like the giraffe. Xu Xiake Xu Xiake was a great geographer. Different from Zhang and Zheng, he traveled inside China. He walked across 16 modern provinces to find the true source (源头) of the Yangtze River. He wrote his observations (观察) in his diary.

Unit 4: Delicious Food Around the World. Passage 2 （2026·河北中考模拟） When 14-year-old Emily Brown from London first arrived in Lianyungang as an exchange student, she felt completely lost. “The food was so different, the language sounded like music I couldn’t understand, and I missed my mom’s cooking terribly,” she recalls. Like many exchange students, she experienced what scientists call “culture shock”—a feeling of confusion and anxiety when facing a new and unfamiliar environment. However, instead of hiding in her room, Emily decided to face the challenge head-on. She started by learning to cook local dishes with her host family. “The first time I tried to make dumplings, they looked more like little boats than proper dumplings,” she laughs. “But my host mother, Mrs. Wang, never laughed at me. She just smiled and showed me how to fold the dough again and again.” Gradually, Emily began to discover the beauty of Lianyungang. She visited the Huaguo Mountain, where she was fascinated by the stories of the Monkey King. She walked along the seaside, collecting colorful shells and watching fishermen bring in their daily catch. She even joined a local calligraphy club, where she learned to write Chinese characters with a brush. “The most important thing I’ve learned is that different doesn’t mean wrong,” Emily says. “In the UK, we usually finish all the food on our plates to show we enjoyed the meal. But in China, my host family often left a little food to show they were full and satisfied. At first, I was confused, but now I understand that both are just different ways of being polite.” Professor Zhang Wei, who studies cultural exchange at Lianyungang Normal University, says Emily’s experience is valuable. “What Emily did is exactly what we hope all young people can do—embrace differences with an open mind and a brave heart. In today’s globalized world, this ability is more important than ever.” By the end of her six-month stay, Emily could make dumplings that looked almost as good as Mrs. Wang’s, and she gave a speech in Chinese at her school’s farewell party. “I came here as a stranger,” she said, “but I’m leaving as part of a family.” 1. How did Emily feel when she first arrived in Lianyungang? A. Excited and curious. B. Confused and anxious. C. Angry and disappointed. D. Tired and sleepy. 2.

Passage 1 （2025-2026·广东广州期末考）Have you ever been on an exchange program? In our school’s online space, we have exchange students sharing their real experiences, from host family relationships to funny memories. What would you share? Show us your own story! Daria: I think at first it was a little bit challenging to get used to the life there. The shock was the type of family for me because I never had any brothers or sisters and now I have 4. I tried to talk and go out with them as much as I can to meet them better. Don’t close yourself in your room. That is my advice for future students. The host family probably would like to meet you more and they would like to spend a good time with you and make this experience good and memorable for you. Amina: I was sick one day. I was missing my mom’s soup, so I asked my host mom if she could make me my favorite chicken soup—what she made was really good, but chicken soup in the U. S. is totally different. I was sad at first because I couldn’t eat something that tasted like home. However, I realize it’s probably common for a lot of students that food is different from that at home. Julia: What I will miss most about my host family is the warmth and love. At first, I was surprised by the slang (俚语) words, which were totally different from the English I learned from textbooks. When I had difficulty understanding, they never laughed but patiently listened and taught me. I’ll miss our late-night talks, the support they’ve given me, and the feeling of home they created for me. 1. What kind of person do you think Daria is? A. Hard-working. B. Honest. C. Outgoing. D.
