First, history helps us understand the present. 2 If we study how past societies dealt with challenges, we can make better decisions today. Second, history teaches us empathy (同理心). 3 Their struggles and achievements remind us of our common humanity. Third, history protects us from repeating mistakes. 4 By studying past failures, we can avoid making the same errors. Finally, history gives us a sense of identity. 5 Understanding where we come from helps us know who we are and where we are going. A．When we learn about people from the past, we connect with their lives. B．But history is much more than that. C．The modern world is shaped by events that happened long ago. D．It is often said that history repeats itself. E．History connects us to our roots and traditions. F．The more you know about history, the richer your life becomes. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D 5．E 【导语】本文介绍了历史十分重要，分别从帮助我们理解当下、培养同理心、避免重蹈覆辙、带来身份认同感四个方面阐述历史具备的价值。 【详解】1．根据前文“History is often seen as a boring school subject—just a list of names and dates”，人们刻板认为历史只是人名和日期，后文说明它承载人类经历、教训与启示，前后存在转折关系。B选项“But history is much more than that.”进行语义转折，引出历史真正的内涵，符合语境。 2．根据本段主旨“history helps us understand the present”历史帮助我们理解当下，后文讲述研究过往社会应对难题能够助力当下抉择。C选项“The modern world is shaped by events that happened long ago.”表明现代社会由久远往事塑造，承接主旨句，逻辑通顺。 3．根据本段中心“history teaches us empathy (同理心)”历史教会我们同理心，后文“Their struggles and achievements remind us of our common humanity”里的代词Their指“古代人们的”。A选项“When we learn about people from the past, we connect with their lives.”讲述了解古人、和古人的生活产生联结，贴合同理心主题，后文代词也可以顺利承接，符合语境。 4．根据前文“history protects us from repeating mistakes”历史防止我们重复犯错，后文依靠研究过去失败规避同类失误。D选项“It is often said that history repeats itself.”引入历史常会重演的老话，衔接下文规避错误的对策，符合段落逻辑。 5．根据本段要点“history gives us a sense of identity”历史带给我们身份认同感，后文知晓起源便能认清自我与前路。E选项“History connects us to our roots and traditions.”说明历史让我们联结根源和传统，承接身份认同的主旨，前后呼应，符合语境。 三、从方框中选择适当的单词填入空白处，每词限用一次 history  mirror  mysteries  value  explore  remember  repeat  wisdom  past  lessons Why should we study 1 ? This is a question that many students ask. The answer lies in the 2 that history offers us. As Li Shimin said, with history as a 3 , we can understand the rise and fall of nations. If we do not 4 the past, we may be forced to 5 our mistakes. History is not just a record of the 6 —it is a guide for the future. There are still many historical 7 waiting to be solved. Archaeologists continue to 8 ancient sites and uncover new information. These discoveries add to our 9 and understanding of human civilization. By learning the 10 of history, we can build a better tomorrow. 【答案】 1．history 2．wisdom 3．mirror 4．remember 5．repeat 6．past 7．mysteries 8．explore 9．value 10．lessons 【导语】本文讨论学习历史的意义，引用李世民“以史为镜”的名言，强调记住过去、避免重蹈覆辙，并指出考古探索增加智慧，学习历史教训可创造更美好的未来。 【详解】1．句意：为什么我们应该学习历史？空格作动词study的宾语，需要名词，结合“history offers us”可知，选项“history”（历史）符合语法及“提出关于学习历史的问题”的语境。 2．句意：答案在于历史提供给我们的智慧。介词in后接名词作宾语，that引导定语从句，空格需填名词，选项“wisdom”（智慧）符合语法及“历史蕴含智慧”的语境。 3．句意：正如李世民所说，以史为镜，可以知兴替。固定搭配“with history as a mirror”意为“以历史为镜子”，选项“mirror”（镜子）符合语法及“引用名言说明历史可映照兴衰”的语境。 4．句意：如果我们不记住过去，就可能被迫重蹈覆辙。否定句助动词do后接动词原形，下文讲述历史是未来的指南，应是“强调要铭记过去”，选项“remember”（记住）符合语法及语境。 5．句意：如果我们不记住过去，就可能被迫重蹈覆辙。be forced to后接动词原形，不记住过去就会重复错误，选项“repeat”（重复）符合语法及语境。 6．句意：历史不仅仅是过去的记录——它是未来的指南。介词of后接名词，与后文future形成对照，选项“past”（过去）符合语法及“历史记录的是过去”的语境。 7．句意：仍有许多历史谜团等待被解开。形容词historical后接名词作主语，“waiting to be solved”表明是谜团，选项“mysteries”（谜团）符合语法及“考古学中尚未解开的谜题”的语境。 8．句意：考古学家继续探索古代遗址并发现新信息。不定式to后接动词原形，“…ancient sites”表示“探索古代遗址”，选项“explore”（探索）符合语法及“考古学家对古代遗址的考察行为”的语境。 9．句意：这些发现丰富了我们对人类文明的价值认知与理解。形容词性物主代词our后接名词，与understanding并列，选项“value”（价值）符合语法及“发现提升我们对人类文明价值的认识”的语境（此处 value 指历史研究对理解文明的意义）。 10．句意：通过学习历史的教训，我们可以建设更美好的明天。定冠词the后接名词，of history作定语，选项“lessons”（教训）符合语法及“学习历史教训”的固定搭配。 一、完形填空 Unit 2 talks about money and treasure, while Unit 3 shows us the beauty of the past. Real treasure is not always gold or expensive goods. Sometimes it lies in ancient history and cultural remains. Lisa is a historylover. She saves her pocket money in her piggy bank 1 she can visit different history museums. Before she goes out, she always makes a small budget 2 she will not spend too much. Last summer, she travelled to an old kingdom in the northwest. 3 she arrived at the local museum, she saw plenty of wonderful cultural remains. Some archaeologists dug into old tombs years ago and found these valuable objects. Detailed reports and multimedia shows help visitors learn about that special historical 4 . Some visitors only look for expensive treasure. 5 Lisa thinks the real treasure is history itself. Ancient silk, old statues and palace remains all carry the stories of the past. 6 you do not open your heart to history, you cannot feel its magic. While some cartoons create fun stories about ancient times, they are not the same as real archaeological facts. We should use our imagination, 7 we also need to respect real research results. Lisa will not stop learning. 8 she meets some difficult mysteries of history, she will look for information on websites or ask researchers for help. She believes that she will know more about the past 9 she keeps studying. Money can buy many things, but it cannot buy history. When we truly understand the past, we will have a deeper sense of 10 . 1．A．so that B．unless C．though D．while 2．A．until B．so that C．as soon as D．though 3．A．As soon as B．Unless C．Though D．Until 4．A．background B．period C．exception D．pleasure 5．A．And B．So C．But D．Or 6．A．If B．Unless C．Though D．Because 7．A．or B．but C．so D．for 8．A．Even if B．As soon as C．Until D．Since 9．A．unless B．until C．if D．though 10．A．pride B．treasure C．sale D．account 【答案】 1．A 2．B 3．A 4．B 5．C 6．A 7．B 8．A 9．C 10．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述 了Lisa存钱参观博物馆，通过探索历史遗迹，感悟真正的财富是历史文化，强调学习过去的重要性，培养对历史的自豪感。 【详解】 1．句意：她把零花钱存在存钱罐里以便她能参观不同的历史博物馆。 空格前“saves her pocket money”是行为，空格后“visit different history museums”是目的。前后构成目的状语关系，因此应用so that（以便，为了）引导目的状语从句。 2．句意：在出门之前，她总是制定一个小预算以便不会花太多钱。 空格前“makes a small budget”是行为，空格后“will not spend too much”是制定预算的目的，因此应用so that引导目的状语从句。 3．句意：一到达当地博物馆，她就看到了许多奇妙的文化遗迹。 到达博物馆和看到遗迹这两个动作几乎同时发生，因此用As soon as（一……就）引导时间状语从句，强调到达后立即看到，符合叙事逻辑。 4．句意：详细的报告和多媒体展示帮助游客了解那个特殊的历史时期。 前文提到“考古学家多年前挖掘古墓，发现了这些珍贵的物品”，因此这里指的是那个特定的“历史时期”，应用period，符合博物馆参观场景。 5．句意：一些游客只寻找昂贵的宝藏，但是Lisa认为真正的宝藏是历史本身。 前句“visitors only look for expensive treasure”与后句“Lisa thinks the real treasure is history itself”形成了鲜明的对比（转折关系），因此用But表转折。其他选项无法体现转折关系。 6．句意：如果你不向历史敞开心扉，你就感受不到它的魔力。 空格后“not open your heart to history”是条件，“you cannot feel its magic”是结果，因此用If（如果）引导条件状语从句。Unless意为“除非”，相当于if...not，而从句中原本就有not，造成语义重复，句子逻辑矛盾。 7．句意：我们应该运用我们的想象力，但是我们同样需要尊重真实的研究成果。 “运用想象力”和“尊重真实的研究成果”两者之间存在转折关系，强调不能只靠想象，因此用but。 8．句意：即使她遇到一些困难的历史谜团，她也会在网站上寻找信息或向研究人员求助。 空格后“meets some difficult mysteries of history”是让步条件，主句“look for information”表示不受此条件影响，因此用Even if表让步。其他选项无法体现克服困难的决心。 9．句意：她相信如果她坚持学习，她会对过去有更多的了解。 “坚持学习”是条件，“了解更多”是结果，因此if（如果）引导条件状语从句，逻辑合理。 10．句意：当我们真正理解过去的时候，我们会产生更深的自豪感。 前文“understand the past”阐述了解历史文化的意义，产生的合理情感是自豪感，a sense of pride是常用搭配，其余选项不符合语境。 2、 阅读理解 The world is full of wonders, only if we open our eyes to see them. Millions of people around the world have been working together to honor the wonders in the nature. 1 The final list of the New Seven Wonders of Nature finally came out. Let’s take a look at some. ◆The Amazon Rainforest Stretch (绵延) across nine different countries. 2 A single hectare(1,000 m2) of Amazon rainforest contains about 900 tons of living plants, including more than 750 types of trees and 1,500 other plants. 3 This is because its plants continuously recycle carbon dioxide into oxygen. About 20 percent of the Earth’s oxygen is produced by the Amazon rainforest. ◆Komodo National Park Indonesia The park is home to the endangered Komodo dragon, which can be as long as three meters and weigh over 70kg. 4 No wonder that one of the most popular tourist activities in the park is scuba diving (戴水肺潜水). ◆Table Mountain,South Africa 5 People say that it’s as if the gods themselves put this mountain into place so they could drink and eat on it. The gods even have tablecloth—the cloud over the top of the mountain. A．I feel proud of these wonders B．It becomes the largest rainforest in the world. C．From its name, you can tell that the mountain must look like a big table. D．It has long been described as the “Lungs of our Planet”. E．The park also includes one of the world's richest marine environments. F．They chose their favorite places by voting by people around the world. 【答案】1．F 2．B 3．D 4．E 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了三个世界奇迹。 1．由前文“...to honor the wonders in the nature”可知人们要纪念自然中的奇迹，后文紧接着“the final list...came out”表示“新七大奇迹名单问世”。选项F意为“世界各地的人们投票选出了最喜爱的地方”，符合情境。故选F。 2．由小标题“The Amazon Rainforest”和后文“A single hectare of Amazon Rainforest contains about...”可知此处讲的是世界最大的热带雨林，亚马逊雨林。选项B意为“它成为了世界上最大的热带雨林”，符合情境。故选B。 3．由后文“This is because its plants continuously recycle carbon dioxide into oxygen.”可知亚马逊雨林持续不断地将二氧化碳转换成氧气，相当于人类肺的功能。选项D意为“它一直以来都被称为地球之肺”，符合情境。故选D。 4．由后文“...tourist activites in the park in scuba diving”可知该公园最受欢迎的活动之一是戴水肺潜水。选项E意为“该公园还有世界上最丰富的海洋环境之一”，符合情境。故选E。 5．由小标题“Table Mountain”和后文“...so they could drink and eat on it”可知此处在讲“桌山”，传说是神创造了这座山，他们以此为桌，在上面吃喝饮酒。选项C意为“从名字就可以看出这座山外形一定酷似一张大桌子”，符合情境。故选C。 $ Unit 3 Past passing by 课时1 Starting out &阅读词汇 分层作业 参考答案 一、单词默写 【答案】1. guest；2. remains；3. lie 4. northwest；5. such 6. archaeologist 7. giant 2、 词组默写 【答案】1.in the past 2.the history of humans 3.farther and farther 4.times of war and peace 5.shape and change the world 6. the remains of the ancient Shu Kingdom, 7. lie in, 8. in the northwest of 9. a great deal of effort, 10. put in effort 11. stand on the shoulders of giants 12. the fruit of … 三、 根据要求完成句子 【答案】1.With history as a mirror2. makers of history 3.make men wise 4.the remains of, lies in 5.such an amazing place that 6.put in a great deal of effort, standing on the shoulders of giants 7.the fruit of, effort 1、 用所给词的适当形式填空 1．guests 2． giants 3．remains 4．remains 5．northwestern 6．archaeologist 7. lies 2、 七选五 1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D 5．E 三、用括号内所给单词的适当形式补全短文 1．history 2．wisdom 3．mirror 4．remember 5．repeat 6．past 7．mysteries 8．explore 9．value 10．lessons 1、 完形填空 1．A 2．B 3．A 4．B 5．C 6．A 7．B 8．A 9．C 10．A 二、阅读理解 1．F 2．B 3．D 4．E 5．C ( 1 / 6 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 3 Past passing by 课时1 Starting out &阅读词汇 分层作业 A组 巩固过关 C组 思维拔高 B组 能力进阶 ( 词汇 guest /ɡest/n.(某一场合的) 嘉宾，宾客 remains /rɪˈmeɪnz/n. 遗迹 lie /laɪ/v. 位于 northwest /ˌnɔːθˈwest/n. 西北，西北方 such /sʌtʃ/deter. 这样，如此，非常 (用于强调) archaeologist /ˌɑːkiˈɒlədʒɪst/n. 考古学家 giant /ˈdʒaɪənt/n. 巨人 句型 1.
