It becomes part of their culture. Families often watch matches together and talk about players for hours. In Japan, people care much about manners. When you visit a Japanese family, you should take off your shoes before you walk inside the house. It is not just a small rule; it shows your respect for the home and host family.

I tell her that China is a large country with many different kinds of land. We have high mountains, long rivers and wide farmland. Different places have different weather and living ways.

The Spring Festival is more than getting gifts and eating big meals. It is a special chance for family members to get together no matter how far they are away from home. Many Chinese will travel thousands of miles back home. Sophie once wrote: "From your emails, I don't just know facts about China. I can feel how much you love your home country."

Passage5 People live across our big world. Their housing, food and hobbies are shaped by where they live. In cold northern areas, winter lasts for many months. Houses need thick walls to stop cold wind. Local people love eating high-energy food such as meat, because it helps their bodies keep warm. Some of them love winter sports like ice-skating. In hot wet places near the equator, houses often have big windows. Good wind goes through rooms. People eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables from local land. They seldom need heavy warm clothes. Though people's daily habits look so different, they share common wishes. Everyone wishes to live in a safe home, enjoy nice food and stay with their family. Learning about different ways of life does not mean we have to copy others. It teaches us to value our own life and respect others. When we read stories from far-away lands, we should not only collect facts. We also need to think about what those facts tell us about people's true feelings. 根据上面短文内容，回答下列问题。 1.Why do people in cold northern areas eat much meat? ______________________________________________________________________ 2.What kind of houses do people in hot wet places near the equator usually have? ______________________________________________________________________ 3.What does the underlined word "copy" mean in Chinese? ______________________________________________________________________ 4.What common wishes do people around the world share? ______________________________________________________________________ 5.What should we do when we learn about different ways of life?（请用自己的话简要作答） ______________________________________________________________________ 【参考答案】 1.Because meat is high-energy food and it helps their bodies keep warm. 2.They usually have houses with big windows. 3.模仿；照搬。 4.They wish to live in a safe home, enjoy nice food and stay with their family. 5.We should value our own life and respect other people's life.（言之有理即可） $ Unit 8 Knowing the world 地域万象 单元阅读精练 模块 语篇 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 时文阅读 Passage1 阅读理解 跨国视频通话记录 184 和海外笔友视频，聊国家、语言、各地天气差异。 Passage2 阅读理解 世界时钟手账 177 同一时刻世界各地昼夜、天气各不相同。 实战演练 Passage1 阅读理解 百科说明文 195 介绍各国语言、习俗，含推理、词义猜测题。 Passage2 阅读理解 夹叙夹议记叙文 172 向笔友介绍中国，含情感与文化思考。 Passage3 完形填空 记叙文 176 与异国笔友书信往来，10空全部为实词。 Passage4 语法填空 地理说明文 154 介绍地球陆海、不同地区动植物，共15空。 Passage5 任务型阅读 完整说明语篇 168 世界各地生活差异，含概括、推理、词义题。 Passage1 Video-Call With My Overseas Pen-pal 跨国视频通话记录 📹 🖥️ Video-Call Record Li Jia: Hi, Paul!

Their housing, food and hobbies are shaped by where they live. In cold northern areas, winter lasts for many months. Houses need thick walls to stop cold wind. Local people love eating high-energy food such as meat, because it helps their bodies keep warm. Some of them love winter sports like ice-skating. In hot wet places near the equator, houses often have big windows. Good wind goes through rooms. People eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables from local land. They seldom need heavy warm clothes. Though people's daily habits look so different, they share common wishes. Everyone wishes to live in a safe home, enjoy nice food and stay with their family. Learning about different ways of life does not mean we have to copy others. It teaches us to value our own life and respect others. When we read stories from far-away lands, we should not only collect facts. We also need to think about what those facts tell us about people's true feelings. 根据上面短文内容，回答下列问题。 1.Why do people in cold northern areas eat much meat? ______________________________________________________________________ 2.What kind of houses do people in hot wet places near the equator usually have? ______________________________________________________________________ 3.What does the underlined word "copy" mean in Chinese? ______________________________________________________________________ 4.What common wishes do people around the world share? ______________________________________________________________________ 5.What should we do when we learn about different ways of life?（请用自己的话简要作答） ______________________________________________________________________ 【参考答案】 1.Because meat is high-energy food and it helps their bodies keep warm. 2.They usually have houses with big windows. 3.模仿；照搬。 4.They wish to live in a safe home, enjoy nice food and stay with their family. 5.We should value our own life and respect other people's life.（言之有理即可） 【导语】完整说明语篇，介绍世界各地受环境影响的生活习惯，并告诉我们如何正确看待不同生活方式。 【详解】 1．根据第二段"Local people love eating high-energy food such as meat, because it helps their bodies keep warm."提取信息作答。 2．根据第三段"In hot wet places near the equator, houses often have big windows."提取房屋特点。 3．词义推断题。句意：了解不同生活方式并不代表我们必须去照搬、模仿别人。copy 此处动词，翻译为模仿、照搬。 4．根据第四段"Everyone wishes to live in a safe home, enjoy nice food and stay with their family."整理完整句子作答。 5．根据第四段"It teaches us to value our own life and respect others."结合文意，用自己语言概括，意思接近即可。 $
