Their next stop would be Howland Island, a tiny island over 2,500 miles away. But something went wrong. The sky was covered 3 clouds and they couldn’t find it. After nearly 24 hours of flying, 4 plane was nearly running out of oil. Earhart sent urgent (紧急的) radio messages to a US ship near Howland Island. The final message 5 at 8:45 am on July 3. Then, no one heard from 6 again. The news Earhart’s disappearance shocked the world. Eighty years later, people are still trying to find out 7 happened to her. Researchers believe Earhart landed on Nikumaroro, an island about 400 miles south of Howland. They thought Earhart and her navigator 8 live on the island for weeks before they died. To find out for sure, they brought four dogs along the journey. The dogs are good at finding bones and other human remains (遗骸). The dogs are 9 trained to sit or lie down where the smell of bones is the strongest. In that way the research team knows where to dig. Can we expect the team of trained dogs 10 researchers solve the mystery? 1．A．women B．woman’s C．woman 2．A．have reached B．reached C．will reach 3．A．with B．for C．of 4．A．a B．an C．the 5．A．received B．was receiving C．was received 6．A．hers B．her C．she 7．A．what B．where C．how 8．A．must B．can C．might 9．A．special B．specially C．more special 10．A．helped B．to help C．helping 【答案】 1．C 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．C 6．B 7．A 8．C 9．B 10．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了女飞行员Amelia Earhart在尝试成为首位独自环球飞行的女性时失踪的故事，以及后来人们为了寻找她的下落所做的努力。 【详解】1．句意：她大约完成了三分之二的路程，即将成为首位独自环球飞行的女性。 women复数名词，意为“女性”；woman’s名词所有格，意为“女性的”；woman单数名词，意为“女性”。根据“the first”可知，此处需要表示“首位独自环球飞行的女性”，且为单数形式，故选C。 2．句意：31天后，他们到达了新几内亚岛。 reach到达。have reached现在完成时；reached一般过去时；will reach一般将来时。根据句中的时间状语“31 days later”可知，此处描述的是过去发生的事情，所以应使用一般过去时，即reached。故选B。 3．句意：天空被云层覆盖，他们找不到它。 with表示伴随；for表示目的或对象；of表示所属关系。根据“ The sky was covered...clouds”可知，此处是短语be covered with，应使用with。故选A。 4．句意：经过近24小时的飞行，飞机几乎耗尽了燃油。 a不定冠词，用于辅音音素开头的单数可数名词前；an不定冠词，用于元音音素开头的单数可数名词前；the定冠词，表示特指。根据“plane was nearly running out of oil”可知，此处特指前文提到的那架飞机，所以应使用定冠词the。故选C。 5．句意：最后一条消息是在7月3日上午8点45分收到的。 receive收到。received一般过去时；was receiving过去进行时；was received一般过去时的被动语态。根据“The final message...at 8:45 am on July 3”知，此处描述的是消息被收到的情况，且为过去发生的事情，所以应使用一般过去时的被动语态，即was received。故选C。 6．句意：然后，就再也没有人听到过她的消息了。 hers名词性物主代词，意为“她的”；her形容词性物主代词或宾格代词，意为“她的”；she主格代词，意为“她”。根据“no one heard from”可知，此处需要介词from的宾语，所以应使用宾格her。故选B。 7．句意：八十年后，人们仍在试图找出她到底发生了什么。 what什么；where哪里；how如何。根据“happened to her”可知，此处需要表示“她到底发生了什么”，所以应使用疑问词what。故选A。 8．句意：他们认为埃哈特和她的领航员可能在岛上生活了几周后才去世。 must必须；can能够；might可能。根据“her navigator...live on the island for weeks before they died”可知，此处表示的是对过去情况的推测，且语气较为委婉，所以应使用might。故选C。 9．句意：这些狗被特别训练过，在骨头气味最强的地方坐下或躺下。 special形容词，意为“特殊的”；specially副词，意为“特别地”；more special比较级形式，意为“更特殊的”。根据“The dogs are...trained”可知，此处需要修饰动词trained，所以应使用副词specially。故选B。 10．句意：我们能指望这支训练有素的狗队帮助研究人员解开这个谜团吗？ help帮助，helped一般过去时；to help动词不定式；helping动名词或现在分词。根据“expect the team of trained dogs”可知，此处表示“指望某人做某事”，应使用动词不定式作宾语补足语，即to help。故选B。 六、阅读理解 Sanxingdui lies in modern Guanghan, in Sichuan Province of southwestern China. The Sanxingdui relics (遗迹) were first discovered by a farmer in 1929. Since then, archaeologists have worked on the discovery and research of the Sanxingdui Culture. In 1986, two sacrificial pits (祭祀坑) were found and they drew tons of attention around the world. Since 2019, six new pits have been discovered. Thousands of surprising artifacts (文物) have been found there, and they could date back to the 12th and 11th centuries BC． Archaeologists believe that the Sanxingdui civilization may be part of the ancient kingdom of Shu. The Sanxingdui relics were part of the Chinese Bronze Age and, according to the findings in the area, this was a very sophisticated (复杂的) culture. Yet it mysteriously disappeared around 1100 BC, leaving only artifacts behind. The Sanxingdui finds are exciting, but mysteries over the Sanxingdui Culture remain: Who were the people living at this site, and what was their society like? How did this civilization disappear? No texts have been found, and there isn’t any mention of this culture in the records of other countries. At this point, however, the culture that produced these artifacts remains a mystery. 11．How many pits have been found since 1986? A．Two. B．Six. C．Eight. D．Nine. 12．What’s paragraph 1 mainly about? A．The location (位置) of Sanxingdui. B．The importance of Sanxingdui. C．The history of Sanxingdui. D．The process of discovering Sanxingdui. 13．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．The findings. B．The Sanxingdui Culture. C．The Chinese Bronze Age. D．The sacrificial pits. 14．What’s the best title for the text? A．New Findings at Sanxingdui B．Lost Civilization—the Mystery of Sanxingdui C．The Bronze Age Civilization D．The Discovery of the Ancient Kingdom of Shu 【答案】11．C 12．D 13．B 14．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了三星堆的发现历程、文化背景及未解之谜。 【详解】11．根据第一段“In 1986，two sacrificial pits (祭祀坑) were found…Since 2019, six new pits have been discovered”可知，1986年发现了2个坑，2019年以来发现了6个坑，总共8个。 12．根据第一段“Sanxingdui lies in modern Guanghan…and they could date back to the 12th and 11th centuries BC”可知，第一段主要介绍了三星堆从1929年首次被发现，到1986年发现祭祀坑，再到2019年以来新坑的发现，主要讲述的是三星堆的发现过程。 13．根据第二段“The Sanxingdui relics were part of the Chinese Bronze Age and…this was a very sophisticated (复杂的) culture. Yet it mysteriously disappeared around 1100 BC”可知，划线词“it”指代的是前文提到的三星堆文化。 14．通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了三星堆的发现、文化以及其未解之谜；选项B“失落的文明——三星堆之谜”最能概括全文，为最佳标题。 七、短文填空 阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入一个适当的词，或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。 Archaeologists have found something exciting in Sichuan Province. The 15 (discover) was made at the Sanxingdui Ruins. The Ruins 16 (believe) to be the location of an ancient civilization thousands of years ago, so that people can study the early culture of the Shu area 17 (deep). What we are seeing now is one 18 the newly discovered sacrificial pits at the Sanxingdui Ruins. It shocks the whole archaeological circle 19 it has such unique cultural relics (遗迹). Sanxingdui, literally meaning “three star mounds” in Chinese, is about 20 80-minute drive from Chengdu, the capital city of Sichuan Province. It is 21 (amaze) that the Ruins have kept so many ancient relics well, so precious that they become a treasure of Chinese civilization.    In the 1980s, archaeologists decided 22 the mounds were once part of a city wall that defended an ancient kingdom. 23 (cover) 12 square kilometres, the Sanxingdui Ruins are thought to be remains of the ancient Shu Kingdom—its history 24 (last) for a period of 2,600 to 4,800 years. 【答案】 15．discovery 16．are believed 17．deeply 18．of 19．because 20．an 21．amazing 22．that 23．Covering 24．lasted 【导语】本文介绍了四川省三星堆遗址的重大考古发现，这些发现展现了古蜀文明的独特性及其在中国文明中的重要地位。 【详解】15．句意：这一发现是在三星堆遗址做出的。空处被定冠词The修饰，作句子的主语，应用discover的名词形式discovery，意为“发现”。 16．句意：该遗址被认为是数千年前一个古代文明所在地。主语The Ruins与动词believe之间为被动关系，表示“被认为”，描述一般性事实，时态为一般现在时，主语为复数，应用are believed。 17．句意：以便人们能够深入研究蜀地的早期文化。空处修饰动词study，应用deep的副词形式deeply作状语，意为“深入地”。 18．句意：我们现在看到的是三星堆遗址新发现的祭祀坑之一。one of意为“……之一”，后接名词复数，表示整体中的一部分，应用介词of。 19．句意：它震惊了整个考古界，因为它有如此独特的文物。前句说震惊整个考古界，后句说有独特的文物，后句是前句的原因，应用because引导原因状语从句，意为“因为”。 20．句意：三星堆距离四川省省会成都大约80分钟车程。drive为可数名词单数，此处表示“一段80分钟的车程”，80-minute以元音音素开头，应用不定冠词an。 21．句意：遗址完好地保存了如此多的古代文物，令人惊叹。空处作is的表语，修饰事物（that the Ruins have kept so many ancient relics well），应用amaze的形容词形式amazing，意为“令人惊叹的”。 22．句意：在20世纪80年代，考古学家确定这些土堆曾经是防御一个古代王国的城墙的一部分。空处引导宾语从句，从句结构完整，应用连接词that，无实义，仅起连接作用。 23．句意：三星堆遗址占地12平方公里，被认为是古蜀国的遗迹。主语the Sanxingdui Ruins与动词cover之间为主动关系，表示“占地”，应用cover的现在分词Covering作状语，句首首字母大写。 24．句意：它的历史延续了2600到4800年。描述过去发生的事情，时态为一般过去时，谓语应用last的过去式lasted，意为“持续”。 一、阅读理解 （2024浙江湖州中考） The first emperor of China, Qin Shihuang, completed a huge number of projects during his rule. Between 221 and 210 B．C．, he started the building of the Great Wall. The emperor also ordered the building of a huge army of life-sized terracotta soldiers（士兵）. These, he hoped, would protect his tomb after his death. Lost in Time The soldiers in Xi’an’s terracotta museum are today light brown, but they weren’t always. They began as an army of red, blue, yellow, green, white, and purple. Sadly, most of the colors did not last to the present day. After being exposed（暴露）to air during digging, the coating under the paint began to fall off. The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg, taking away with it important pieces of history. New Technology Now new technology is starting to show the army’s true colors. Archeologists（考古学家）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 and German researchers have developed a chemical liquid（液体）to help save the soldiers’ colors. After finding a soldier or another art piece, archeologists put the liquid on it. They then cover it in plastic. Back to Life Archeologists are also finding colors in the dirt around the soldiers. It’s important not to do anything with the dirt, so the colors won’t be lost. “We are treating the dirt as an art piece,” says Rong Bo, the museum’s leading archeologist. The next challenge, says Rong Bo, is to find a way to use the colors onto the army-again. Once that happens, artists can bring Emperor Qin’s army back to its full, bright colors. 25．What is the passage mainly about? A．The death of Emperor Qin Shihuang. B．How the terracotta army was colored. C．The true colors of the terracotta soldiers. D．How the soldiers lived during Qin Dynasty. 26．What does the underlined word “they” in the passage refer to? A．Archeologists. B．Artists. C．Researchers. D．Soldier. 27．Which statement would Rong Bo probably agree? A．The soldiers should stay in their present, brown color. B．People should try to bring back the army’s bright colors. C．Archeologists can only guess at the soldiers’ true colors. D．Artists should be able to paint the soldiers in colors they want. 【答案】25．C 26．A 27．B 【分析】兵马俑中国的第一个皇帝秦始皇在位期间曾下令建造的，它原本是有颜色的，但在挖掘过程中暴露在空气中后，油漆下面的涂层开始脱落。幸运的是有了现代技术，艺术家们有望让兵马俑重现绚丽的色彩。 【详解】25．主旨大意题。根据文意和短文第二段“The soldiers in Xi’an’s terracotta museum are today light brown, but they weren’t always. They began as an army of red, blue, yellow, green, white, and purple.”可知，文章开头引出了兵马俑，并告诉我们兵马俑本来是有颜色的，但今天我们看到的却是棕色的。文章分析了造成这种结果的原因，并介绍利用现代的新技术，兵马俑的颜色有望重新恢复。C选项“兵马俑真正的颜色”最符合文章大意，故选C。 26．细节理解题。根据语境上句话“After finding a soldier or another art piece, archeologists put the liquid on it.”提到考古学家们在发现兵马俑或其他艺术品后，把液体放在上面。这句话中“他们用塑料覆盖”They指代的就是“考古学家”，故选A。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“The next challenge, says Rong Bo, is to find a way to use the colors onto the army-again. Once that happens, artists can bring Emperor Qin’s army back to its full, bright colors.”可知，Rong Bo说下一个挑战是找到一种方法再次在军队中使用这些颜色，然后让秦始皇的军队重现其绚丽的色彩。B选项“人们应该试着恢复军队鲜艳的颜色”与Rong Bo观点一致。故选B。 ( 1 / 6 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $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4 SectionA(Grammar Focus))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 mlikely /An'laikli/adj.不大可能 ash/em.灰烬；废墟 jade/d3erd/m.玉；翡翠 发生的 repair /rI'pea(r)w.&n.修理；修 wealth /wele0/h.财产；财富 trade/trerd/n.贸易；买卖 补 句型 1.That object must be a horn of some kind. 那个物品一定是某种动物的角。 2.King Tut's death could be related to an illness. 图坦卡蒙国王的死或许和一场疾病有关。 3.That silk clothing can't be very heavy.

Sanxingdui, literally meaning “three star mounds” in Chinese, is about 20 80-minute drive from Chengdu, the capital city of Sichuan Province. It is 21 (amaze) that the Ruins have kept so many ancient relics well, so precious that they become a treasure of Chinese civilization.    In the 1980s, archaeologists decided 22 the mounds were once part of a city wall that defended an ancient kingdom. 23 (cover) 12 square kilometres, the Sanxingdui Ruins are thought to be remains of the ancient Shu Kingdom—its history 24 (last) for a period of 2,600 to 4,800 years. 一、阅读理解 （2024浙江湖州中考） The first emperor of China, Qin Shihuang, completed a huge number of projects during his rule. Between 221 and 210 B．C．, he started the building of the Great Wall. The emperor also ordered the building of a huge army of life-sized terracotta soldiers（士兵）. These, he hoped, would protect his tomb after his death. Lost in Time The soldiers in Xi’an’s terracotta museum are today light brown, but they weren’t always. They began as an army of red, blue, yellow, green, white, and purple. Sadly, most of the colors did not last to the present day. After being exposed（暴露）to air during digging, the coating under the paint began to fall off. The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg, taking away with it important pieces of history. New Technology Now new technology is starting to show the army’s true colors. Archeologists（考古学家）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 and German researchers have developed a chemical liquid（液体）to help save the soldiers’ colors. After finding a soldier or another art piece, archeologists put the liquid on it. They then cover it in plastic. Back to Life Archeologists are also finding colors in the dirt around the soldiers. It’s important not to do anything with the dirt, so the colors won’t be lost. “We are treating the dirt as an art piece,” says Rong Bo, the museum’s leading archeologist. The next challenge, says Rong Bo, is to find a way to use the colors onto the army-again. Once that happens, artists can bring Emperor Qin’s army back to its full, bright colors. 25．What is the passage mainly about? A．The death of Emperor Qin Shihuang. B．How the terracotta army was colored. C．The true colors of the terracotta soldiers. D．How the soldiers lived during Qin Dynasty. 26．What does the underlined word “they” in the passage refer to? A．Archeologists. B．Artists. C．Researchers. D．Soldier. 27．Which statement would Rong Bo probably agree? A．The soldiers should stay in their present, brown color. B．People should try to bring back the army’s bright colors. C．Archeologists can only guess at the soldiers’ true colors. D．Artists should be able to paint the soldiers in colors they want.
