They found an iron object in one of the sacrificial pits that turned out to be made from meteoritic iron—a metal 1 came from a fallen star. This was the first time such an object had been found in the region. The discovery soon 2 the attention of historians worldwide. The iron object, 3 only 7 centimetres long, was analysed using pXRF technology. The results showed that it 4 high levels of nickel, a metal commonly found in meteorites but rare in Earth’s rocks. “This discovery is 5 exciting because it proves that the people of the ancient Shu Kingdom were able to work with materials from space,” said Dr. Wang, the lead researcher. “For a long time, we 6 that the Shu civilization was less advanced than other ancient cultures. Now we have to 7 our view.” The research team has been working at the site 8 2020. They have made several important discoveries, but this one is special. It not only fills a gap in the historical record 9 also raises new questions about how ancient people acquired such skills. “We are only just beginning to understand 10 advanced this civilization really was,” Dr. Wang added. “Every new find brings us closer to the truth.” 1．A．who B．which C．what D．whom 2．A．caught B．drew C．paid D．gave 3．A．measure B．to measure C．measuring D．measured 4．A．will contain B．contains C．has contained D．contained 5．A．so B．such C．too D．very 6．A．have thought B．were thinking C．had thought D．thought 7．A．replace B．rethink C．reform D．refuse 8．A．for B．from C．during D．since 9．A．and B．or C．but D．so 10．A．what B．how C．which D．that 【答案】 1．B 2．A 3．C 4．D 5．A 6．C 7．B 8．D 9．C 10．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了2026年5月中国考古学家在三星堆发现陨铁制品。这一发现证明古蜀文明能利用太空材料，改变了学界对其发达程度的看法。 【详解】1．句意：他们在其中一个祭祀坑中找到了一件铁器，经鉴定这件器物由陨铁打造 —— 陨铁是一种来自陨落星辰的金属。 定语从句的先行词metal是物，且从句缺主语，应用which引导定语从句。who“谁”、what“什么”和whom“谁”均不符。 2．句意：这一发现很快引起了全世界历史学家的注意。 catch the attention是固定搭配，意为“引起注意”，故填caught。drew“画”、paid“支付”和gave“给”均不符。 3．句意：这个铁器仅7厘米长，使用了pXRF技术进行了分析。 现在分词作后置定语，修饰前面的“The iron object”，表达“这个铁制品长度为7厘米”的主动含义，用measuring符合语法规则。原形measure“测量”、不定式to measure“去测量”和过去分词measured“测量”均不符。 4．句意：检测结果表明，它含有高浓度的镍，镍这种金属在陨石中很常见，但在地球岩石中却十分稀少。 主句“The results showed”为过去时，从句时态需保持一致，故填过去式contained。一般将来时will contain“将包含”、一般现在时contains“包含”和现在完成时has contained“已经包含”均不符。 5．句意：这项发现令人十分振奋，因为它证明古蜀人已经能够加工来自太空的材料。 此处是固定搭配“so+形容词+that”的省略形式（原文中省略了that从句），用来表示“如此……以至于”。such后面通常接名词；too一般用于“too...to...”结构，表示“太……而不能”；very虽然可以修饰形容词，但无法体现出这种因果递进的语气，不符合语境。 6．句意：很长一段时间，我们以为古蜀文明不如其他古代文化发达。 根据“For a long time”及下文“Now we have to…”可知，“以为”发生在发现之前，属于过去的过去，用过去完成时had thought。现在完成时have thought“已经认为”、过去进行时were thinking“正在认为”和一般过去时thought“认为”均不符。 7．句意：现在我们不得不重新思考我们的观点。 根据“our view”及新发现推翻旧知可知，此处指重新思考，填rethink。replace“替换”、reform“改革”和refuse“拒绝”均不符。 8．句意：研究团队自2020年以来一直在该遗址工作。 根据“has been working”可知，现在完成进行时用since加时间点。for“为了”加时间段、from“从”常接to和during“在……期间”均不符。 9．句意：它不仅填补了史料记载中的空白，也引出了新的疑问：古人究竟是如何掌握这类技艺的。 not only… but also…是固定搭配，意为“不仅……而且……”，故填but。and“和”、or“或者”和so“所以”均不符。 10．句意：我们才刚刚开始理解这个文明究竟有多发达。 空处修饰形容词advanced，用how修饰表示程度。what“什么”修饰名词、which“哪一个”和that“那个”均不符。 六、阅读理解 A The first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang, is remembered for the many things he did during his rule. Between 221 and 210 BC, he began to build the Great Wall. He built a large system of roads. He introduced a new writing system, currency(货币), and a set of measurements(度量衡). The emperor also ordered the construction(建造) of a huge army of life-sized terracotta(陶器) soldiers. These, he hoped, would protect his tomb after his death. Today, the soldiers in Xi’an’s Terracotta Museum are light brown, but they weren’t always this colour. They began as an army of red, blue, yellow, green, white, and purple. Sadly, most of the colours did not last to the present. Before their discovery, the clay soldiers were protected by being underground. When they were dug up, however, the air caused the coating under the paint to fall off. The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg, taking with it important pieces of history. New techniques are now starting to reveal(揭示) the army’s true colours. Scientists have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers. Many of these still have their painted features, including black hair, pink faces, and black or brown eyes. Chinese researchers have developed a special kind of water to help keep the soldiers’ colours. After they find a soldier, scientists spread the water over it. They then cover it in plastic. Scientists are also finding colours in the dirt around Xi’an’s terracotta warriors. “It’s important not to move the dirt, so the colours won’t be lost. We are treating the earth as an art piece,” says Rong Bo, the museum’s leading chemist. According to Rong, the next challenge is to find a way to restore(修复) the colours to the army. Once that happens, artists can bring Emperor Qin’s army back to life in full colour. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 11．Why did Qin Shi Huang order the construction of terracotta soldiers? A．To make a new art museum. B．To show his great painting skills. C．To protect his tomb after he died. 12．Why are the soldiers in Xi’an’s Terracotta Museum today light brown? A．Because they are too old. B．Because their paint fell off. C．Because they lost their time. 13．What do scientists use to protect the colours on newly found soldiers? A．More dirt and water. B．Cold air and weak light. C．A special kind of water and plastic. 14．Which statement would Rong Bo probably agree with? A．We should try to repaint the army’s real colours. B．The soldiers should be left the way they were found. C．Artists are able to paint the soldiers the colours they want. 15．What is the passage mainly about? A．The secrets in Qin Shi Huang’s tomb. B．The real colours of the terracotta soldiers. C．The stories behind the terracotta soldiers. 【答案】11．C 12．B 13．C 14．A 15．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍兵马俑原本色彩丰富，出土后颜料快速脱落，科学家运用新技术保护并尝试复原陶俑真实色彩。 【详解】11．根据文章第二段最后一句“These, he hoped, would protect his tomb after his death.”可知，秦始皇下令建造兵马俑是为了保护他的陵墓。 12．根据文章第三段最后两句“When they were dug up, however, the air caused the coating under the paint to fall off. The paint disappeared...”可知，现在的兵马俑呈浅棕色是因为出土后接触空气，颜料脱落了。 13．根据文章第四段中“Chinese researchers have developed a special kind of water to help keep the soldiers’ colours...They then cover it in plastic.”可知，科学家使用特殊的水和塑料来保护新发现士兵的颜色。 14．根据文章最后一段中“According to Rong, the next challenge is to find a way to restore the colours to the army.”可知，下一个挑战是找到一种恢复军队颜色的方法，说明他同意应该努力恢复军队的真实颜色。 15．通读全文可知，文章第一段简要介绍秦始皇及兵马俑的建造，第二段重点讲述兵马俑原本丰富多彩的颜色及褪色原因，第三、四段讲述科学家如何保护和恢复兵马俑的真实颜色。整篇文章的核心话题是兵马俑的真实颜色。 B Do you enjoy learning about life in the past? If so, you might consider a job in archaeology (考古学) when you grow up. 16 . Some archaeologists work outside on the fields, digging and searching where people lived long ago. 17 . What they discover includes homes, roads, tools, art objects, and even garbage holes. Some archaeologists are often experts in certain areas of study. 18 . They want to know more about the animals that people hunted, raised for food, or kept as companions. Some archaeologists study the remains of shipwrecks. 19 . The treasures they find at the bottom of the ocean can show and tell where people traveled, how they got there, and whom they traded goods with. Not all archaeologists work outdoors. 20 .

These experts not only discover secrets about life long ago, but they also help the public to understand those discoveries. A．Some work at museums, universities, or parks B．They uncover all kinds of things from the past C．Some of them study the remains of animals, for example D．They look for clues that explain why these wrecks (沉船) appeared E．Archaeologists are scientists who study human life and cultures of the past 【答案】16．E 17．B 18．C 19．D 20．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了考古学家的工作内容和研究领域，包括户外挖掘、动物遗骸研究、沉船考古以及室内研究工作等。 【详解】16．根据上文“If so, you might consider a job in archaeology (考古学) when you grow up.”可知，上文提到了考古工作，此处可继续补充考古学家的定义，选项E“考古学家是研究过去人类生活和文化的科学家”符合语境。故选E。 17．根据上文“Some archaeologists work outside on the fields, digging and searching where people lived long ago.”和下文“What they discover includes homes, roads, tools, art objects, and even garbage holes.”可知，此处应补充考古学家会在挖掘中有所发现，选项B“他们挖掘出各种各样来自过去的东西”符合语境。故选B。 18．根据下文“They want to know more about the animals that people hunted, raised for food, or kept as companions.”可知，此处应与“考古学家的研究”以及“动物”有关，选项C“例如，他们中的一些人研究动物的残骸”符合语境。故选C。 19．根据上文“Some archaeologists study the remains of shipwrecks.”和下文“The treasures they find at the bottom of the ocean...”可知，此处应与沉船有关，选项D“他们寻找能够解释这些沉船为何会出现的线索”符合语境。故选D。 20．根据上文“Not all archaeologists work outdoors.”可知，此处应是讲述考古学家其他的工作地点，选项A“有些在博物馆、大学或者公园工作”符合语境。故选A。 一、任务型阅读 （2026四川德阳中考） A famous story from New Book of Tang tells of Yang Yuhuan. She loved lychees (荔枝), a fruit that grew in faraway southern China and would easily go bad during transportation. To make her happy, Emperor Xuanzong ordered the riders to bring lychees to Chang’an. When the lychees finally arrived, they were still fresh. This makes people surprised at how fast the ancient postal (邮政的) system was! In fact, China’s postal system started over 3,000 years ago in the Zhou Dynasty. Workers called “Xingfu” carried government orders and army messages. At that time, many places had institutions (机构) similar to post stations, but with different names. When the Qin State unified China, it made them use the same name—“You”, which is still used in China’s postal industry today. While the postal system was well-developed during the Qin and Han dynasties, only the government could use it. Ordinary people had to depend on friends or family to send letters and other things. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the postal system took shape, centered around the capital and reaching all parts of the country. The poet Cen Shen wrote, “One post station after another, the post riders flow like stars, setting off from Xianyang in the morning and reaching the top of Mount Longshan in the evening.” This highly developed system allowed Yang to get her fresh lychees. In the Ming Dynasty, “security escort agencies” appeared. People paid them to protect their money and safety during travel. However, in the mid-19th century, China had to open its doors to the West. This led to big changes in the postal industry. Finally, in 1913, the ancient postal system officially came to an end. 21．Why does the text begin with a story? A．To introduce the topic. B．To explain a book. C．To mention an emperor. D．To describe lychees. 22．What is the correct order of the following events? ①The postal system was mainly around the capital. ②Only the government could use the postal system. ③Many places had institutions similar to post stations. A．①→②→③ B．①→③→② C．②→①→③ D．③→②→① 23．What does the underlined part “security escort agencies” probably mean in Chinese? A．客栈 B．镖局 C．书院 D．钱庄 24．What is the best title for the text? A．Big Changes in Money Safety B．Development of Lychee Business C．Postal System in Ancient China D．Transportation in the Tang Dynasty 【答案】21．A 22．D 23．B 24．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，按照时间顺序介绍中国古代邮政系统的发展历程。 【详解】21．根据第一段“A famous story from New Book of Tang tells of Yang Yuhuan...This makes people surprised at how fast the ancient postal (邮政的) system was!”可知，文章开篇讲述杨贵妃荔枝的故事，目的是引出本文核心话题——古代邮政系统。 22．根据第二段“many places had institutions (机构) similar to post stations”、第三段“only the government could use it”、第四段“the postal system took shape, centered around the capital”可知，事件顺序：③很多地方有类似驿站的机构→②只有政府可以使用邮政系统→①邮政系统以都城为中心，对应D选项。 23．根据第五段“People paid them to protect their money and safety during travel.”可知，人们付钱给这个机构，用来保护旅途的钱财与人身安全，结合历史常识，“security escort agencies”指镖局。 24．根据全文内容，文章依次介绍从周代到近代中国古代邮政系统的发展变迁，整篇围绕中国古代邮政系统展开，C选项最能概括文章核心内容。 $函学科网·上好课 www.zxxk.com 上好每一堂课 Unit 2 A Look into the Past 课时1 Section A(1a-1d)分层作业 作业导航 A组巩固过关 C组思维拔高 B组能力进阶 拓展链接中考 核心知识速记 词汇 artefact/'a:trfaekt/.h.(有史学价horn /ho:n/m.(羊、牛等动物 site/sat/n.场所；（历史）遗址 值的人工制品 的)角 句型 1.I guess it might be ash 我猜它可能是灰烬。(might be表示可能性较弱的推测，“也许、可能”) 2.That must be very old. 那一定非常古老。(must be表示非常有把握的肯定推测，“一定”) 3.Can you guess what was discovered here? 你能猜出在这里发现了什么吗？（宾语从句，从句使用陈述语序） A组 巩固过关 一、单词默写。 【答案】site,artefact,hom 二、词组默写 I Peking Man Site;historical site;flood control system;musical instrument;foreign trade 三、根据要求完成句子 【答案】 1.might be 1/3 函学科网·上好课 www.zxxk.com 上好每一堂课 2.must be 3.was discovered 4.might be 5.foreign trade B组 能力进阶 一、单项选择 BABCB 二、方框选词填空 【答案】 1.Site 2.artefact 3.horn 4.might be 5.must be 三、语法填空 【答案】 1.Site 2.was discovered 3.might 4.must 5.to use 6.brought 7.trade 8.were found 9.its 四、单词拼写 【答案】 1.Site 2/3 可学科网·上好课 www.zxxk.com 上好每一堂课 2.artefact 3.horn 4.site 5.site C组 思维拔高 五、完形填空 【答案】 1.B2.A3.C4.D5.A6.C7.B8.D9.C10.B 六、阅读理解 9 【答案】11.C12.B13.C14.A15.B & 【答案】16.E17.B18.C19.D20.A 拓展 链接中考 一、任务型阅读 (2026四川德阳中考) 【答案】21.A22.D23.B24.C 3/3Unit 2 A Look into the Past 课时1 Section A (1a-1d) 分层作业 A组 巩固过关 C组 思维拔高 B组 能力进阶 拓展 链接中考 ( 词汇 __________ /saɪt/n. 场所；（历史）遗址 __________ /ˈɑːtɪfækt/n.(有史学价值的) 人工制品 __________ /hɔːn/n.(羊、牛等动物的) 角 句型 1.

Today, the soldiers in Xi’an’s Terracotta Museum are light brown, but they weren’t always this colour. They began as an army of red, blue, yellow, green, white, and purple. Sadly, most of the colours did not last to the present. Before their discovery, the clay soldiers were protected by being underground. When they were dug up, however, the air caused the coating under the paint to fall off. The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg, taking with it important pieces of history. New techniques are now starting to reveal(揭示) the army’s true colours. Scientists have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers. Many of these still have their painted features, including black hair, pink faces, and black or brown eyes. Chinese researchers have developed a special kind of water to help keep the soldiers’ colours. After they find a soldier, scientists spread the water over it. They then cover it in plastic. Scientists are also finding colours in the dirt around Xi’an’s terracotta warriors. “It’s important not to move the dirt, so the colours won’t be lost. We are treating the earth as an art piece,” says Rong Bo, the museum’s leading chemist. According to Rong, the next challenge is to find a way to restore(修复) the colours to the army. Once that happens, artists can bring Emperor Qin’s army back to life in full colour. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 11．Why did Qin Shi Huang order the construction of terracotta soldiers? A．To make a new art museum.

Some archaeologists work outside on the fields, digging and searching where people lived long ago. 17 . What they discover includes homes, roads, tools, art objects, and even garbage holes. Some archaeologists are often experts in certain areas of study. 18 . They want to know more about the animals that people hunted, raised for food, or kept as companions. Some archaeologists study the remains of shipwrecks. 19 . The treasures they find at the bottom of the ocean can show and tell where people traveled, how they got there, and whom they traded goods with. Not all archaeologists work outdoors. 20 . They study the records that other archaeologists created and help protect the artifacts that field crews dug up. These experts not only discover secrets about life long ago, but they also help the public to understand those discoveries. A．Some work at museums, universities, or parks B．They uncover all kinds of things from the past C．Some of them study the remains of animals, for example D．They look for clues that explain why these wrecks (沉船) appeared E．Archaeologists are scientists who study human life and cultures of the past 一、任务型阅读 （2026四川德阳中考） A famous story from New Book of Tang tells of Yang Yuhuan. She loved lychees (荔枝), a fruit that grew in faraway southern China and would easily go bad during transportation. To make her happy, Emperor Xuanzong ordered the riders to bring lychees to Chang’an. When the lychees finally arrived, they were still fresh. This makes people surprised at how fast the ancient postal (邮政的) system was! In fact, China’s postal system started over 3,000 years ago in the Zhou Dynasty. Workers called “Xingfu” carried government orders and army messages. At that time, many places had institutions (机构) similar to post stations, but with different names. When the Qin State unified China, it made them use the same name—“You”, which is still used in China’s postal industry today. While the postal system was well-developed during the Qin and Han dynasties, only the government could use it. Ordinary people had to depend on friends or family to send letters and other things. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the postal system took shape, centered around the capital and reaching all parts of the country. The poet Cen Shen wrote, “One post station after another, the post riders flow like stars, setting off from Xianyang in the morning and reaching the top of Mount Longshan in the evening.” This highly developed system allowed Yang to get her fresh lychees. In the Ming Dynasty, “security escort agencies” appeared. People paid them to protect their money and safety during travel. However, in the mid-19th century, China had to open its doors to the West. This led to big changes in the postal industry. Finally, in 1913, the ancient postal system officially came to an end. 21．Why does the text begin with a story? A．To introduce the topic. B．To explain a book. C．To mention an emperor. D．To describe lychees. 22．What is the correct order of the following events? ①The postal system was mainly around the capital. ②Only the government could use the postal system. ③Many places had institutions similar to post stations. A．①→②→③ B．①→③→② C．②→①→③ D．③→②→① 23．What does the underlined part “security escort agencies” probably mean in Chinese? A．客栈 B．镖局 C．书院 D．钱庄 24．What is the best title for the text? A．Big Changes in Money Safety B．Development of Lychee Business C．Postal System in Ancient China D．Transportation in the Tang Dynasty $
