My grandparents insisted on repairing them, but I thought it a waste of time — why trouble with old buildings in a modern world? However, I was asked to help document the process. I watched as elderly craftsmen carefully carved wooden patterns, their hands rough but steady, pausing now and then to compare with old drawings to keep original styles. They explained that each detail carried stories of our ancestors’ (古人) lives. Villagers also joined in, bringing tools and sharing memories of growing up in the village. On a rainy afternoon, an elderly villager pointed to a cracked beam (横梁):“This is where my father taught me to fix farm tools, and I played here with friends after school.” Her eyes shone with warm memories as she touched the worn wood gently. Suddenly, I realized the village wasn’t just a group of buildings — it was a living record of our roots. As the repair work went on, many young people started visiting, attracted by the village’s rich history and unique architecture shared online. Some even offered to help with digital documentation or designed cultural posters to promote it. The old village gradually came back to life, connecting the distance between age groups with new energy. I once thought cultural heritage was something far away, preserved in museums. But this experience taught me it’s right here, in the places we live and the stories we share. It’s not about keeping things unchanged, but about passing on the values they stand for. Today, the ancient village stands proudly, a symbol of our cultural identity and a lively classroom for future generations. I understand now that protecting heritage is not a burden (负担), but a valuable gift we give to the future with love and responsibility. 24．(2.5分)What did the author think of repairing the ancient village at first? A．Meaningful. B．Challenging. C．Unnecessary. D．Expensive. 25．(2.5分)It can be inferred that the elderly craftsmen were ________. A．careless and impatient B．proud and self-confident C．skilled and responsible D．creative and open-minded 26．(2.5分)Why did young people start to help the village according to the text? A．They got paid for doing work. B．They got interested in its culture. C．They wanted to live in the village. D．They hoped to use digital technology. 27．(2.5分)What does the author learn from the last paragraph? A．Protecting heritage is a gift to the future. B．Young people dislike traditional lifestyles. C．Modern technology saves cultural heritage. D．Old buildings should be made into museums. （本题10分）Pu’er is the home of the world-known tea of the same name. Since other tea-growing centers in Pu’er may have a larger output, more famous brands (品牌) and heritage surrounding the history of the Tea-horse Ancient Road, Jingmai, also in Pu’er, may not be people’s first choice to look for the best Pu’er Tea. However, being cut off from the outside by rivers, this mountainous area has become a perfect place for an ancient planting technique, growing tea trees under forest, known as the “under-story” method, which filters (过滤) sunshine while ensuring water. Nan Kang, former head of Mangjing village, said, “Compared to modern plantations, we’ll surely produce less tea in the ancient forest. But we have to respect our tradition and belief. Birds eat insects to protect the tea and the fallen leaves from trees provide fertilizer. Everything improves the other, but also limits each other. It is the way of nature.” Nan is an old-time Blang leader’s grandson. Following an old leader named Pa Aileng, his ancestors (祖先) came to settle near the Jingmai Mountain centuries ago. It is believed that Pa Aileng found that tea leaves made his people recover from diseases they suffered from during their moving to other places, so the hero is also considered as a “tea ancestor”. Blang people chose a mountain to remember him. They call it Peak Aileng. “We Blang people believe tea has its own spirit,” Nan says. “The first planted tea tree in every field is called the Tea Spirit Tree. That means the field has an owner. And the symbol also makes everyone follow moral codes and protect the plants.” Now, this mountain of tea, also a storehouse of the time-tested traditions of local ethnic groups, attracts global attention. The Cultural Landscape of Old Tea Forests of the Jingmai Mountain in Pu’er was named as a World Heritage Site, becoming China’s 57th entry on the list. 28．(2.5分)What is Jingmai famous for in planting Pu’er Tea? A．A larger production. B．More famous brands. C．Its unique planting method. D．Its transport system. 29．(2.5分)What can we learn about the “under-story” method from the text? A．It is widely used in Pu’er. B．It was invented by Nan Kang. C．It follows the laws of nature. D．It makes sure to produce more tea. 30．(2.5分)What was tea firstly used as by Nan Kang’s ancestors? A．Main food. B．Gifts for friends. C．Medical treatment. D．A kind of nice drink. 31．(2.5分)What is the best title for the text? A．The Long History of Pu’er Tea B．A Tea Planting Tradition to Treasure C．The Main Planting Areas of Pu’er Tea D．A Mountainous Climate Fit for Pu’er Tea （本题10分）The Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City are recognized as the first city in China and provide archaeological evidence that Chinese civilization has a history of over 5,000 years. The site was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2019. UNESCO describes it as "representing the great achievement of prehistoric rice-cultivating civilization of China over 5,000 years ago, and an outstanding example of early urban civilization". Located in the Yangtze River Basin on the south-eastern coast of the country, the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City were the political and religious center of an early regional state in the Taihu Lake Basin. The Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City reveal an early regional state with rice-cultivating agriculture as its economic base, and social differentiation and a unified belief system, which existed in the Late Neolithic period in China. This 5,300-year-old city was first discovered by Shi Xingeng in 1936, and then became known to the world after many years of archaeological excavations. The Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City have been designated as a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit, and are the most representative prehistoric large-scale settlement in East Asia, marking a milestone in the development of human civilization. The Liangzhu culture, as the peak of early rice agriculture in the formation stage of Chinese civilization, had a profound impact on the evolution of Chinese culture for the following five thousand years. The complex water conservancy system around Liangzhu, along with the burial sites (including altars) that show social classes and excavated items represented by special jade artifacts used in ceremonies, all show how small Neolithic societies changed into an early state. These discoveries clearly show how advanced the rice-growing civilizations were in the lower Yangtze River area during the Neolithic Age. Together, they help us understand well that the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City are a great example of an early local city civilization. 32．(2.5分)Why are the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City important? A．They are listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. B．They prove that China grew rice the earliest in the world. C．They indicate that China has a 5,000-year-old civilization. D．They show that China was successful in city construction. 33．(2.5分)What featured the pre-historic civilization in the Taihu Lake Basin? A．The advanced social system. B．The well-developed technology. C．The rice-growing agriculture. D．The prosperous economy. 34．(2.5分)What can we infer from the discoveries of the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City? A．The civilization in the Yangtze River Basin reached a new stage. B．People gathered and lived in communities in well-designed cities. C．Good rice harvest increased the population as well as economy. D．Neolithic societies existed a short time due to new political systems. 35．(2.5分)What can be the best title of the passage? A．Excavation of the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City B．Significance of the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City C．Civilization Development of the Yangtze River Basin D．Development of China's Rice-Cultivating Agriculture （本题12.5分）  When we think about cultural heritage preservation, it’s not just about keeping old buildings standing. It is a joint effort to protect the story of our history and identity. Think of it like a quilt: Each patch represents a piece of our past. 36(2.5分) Around the world, effective strategies help keep our shared heritage safe for future generations.   Community and education. When people feel connected to their cultural landmarks, they’re more likely to protect them with their own hands and hearts. 37(2.5分) Meanwhile, education empowers younger generations to become future protectors. For example, schools in South Africa that teach children about their historical roots have led to more community-led initiatives.    38(2.5分) Modern tools are changing the way we protect heritage. 3D laser scanning allows archaeologists to record sites in great detail, as seen in Jordan’s ancient city of Petra. This helps create digital copies of fragile structures. Meanwhile, sustainable tourism makes sure that visitors don’t harm the heritage they come to see. A recent study found that 60% of tourists are willing to pay more to support sustainable practices.   Laws and partnerships. Strong rules matter. Greece has strict laws with heavy fines to protect sites and stop illegal digging. Also, partnerships between local governments and non-governmental organizations help improve conservation efforts by sharing resources and knowledge. The partnership between Indonesia and the Global Heritage Fund to restore Borobudur’s ancient temples has protected the site. 39(2.5分)   Adaptive reuse. This creative approach gives old buildings a new purpose while keeping their historical value. The High Line in New York City, an abandoned railway turned into a lively public park, keeps its historical value while serving today’s city life. 40(2.5分) They show that preservation and progress can go hand in hand. Many other cities are now following this example, turning old factories into museums or ancient warehouses into community centers. A．Science and practice. B．Technology and tourism. C．Losing any of them means losing part of the story. D．This will offer people more chances to know themselves. E．In Italy, residents of Pompeii regularly volunteer for restoration projects. F．Such a method supports both cultural appreciation and urban development. G．Besides, it boosted local economies through tourism, creating jobs for nearby villagers. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）When I first set foot on Mexican soil, I spoke Spanish well. So when I asked a local ice-cream seller for an ice-cream, and he said “ahorita,” which directly translates to “right now”, I took him at his word, believing that its arrival was 41 . I sat near his shop and waited. Half an hour passed and still no ice-cream arrived, so I asked again about it, “Ahorita,” he told me again. His face was a mix of 42 and maybe even embarrassment. I was 43 . Waiting longer wasn’t pleasant, but I felt it was impolite to walk away, especially if the ice-cream was now being 44 just for me. But finally, after waiting too long, I made a (an) 45 for the nearest bus to take me home. As I left, I 46 at my wrist and shrugged to the ice-cream seller. 47 I couldn’t wait any longer and it really wasn’t my fault. His face was, once again, one of the total confusion. This experience 48 from my memory until years later when I came back to live in Mexico. I discovered that understanding “ahorita” took not a fluency in the language, but rather a(n) 49 in the culture. When someone from Mexico says “ahorita,” it should almost never be taken 50 ; its meaning changes greatly with 51 . As a linguist told me, “Ahorita could mean tomorrow, in an hour, within five years or never.” It is even used as a polite way of saying “no, thanks” when 52 an offer. Difficulty in explaining what I have come to call “Ahorita Time” is a 53 of different cultural understandings of time. Since I moved to Mexico, my attitude towards time has changed dramatically. I don’t worry so much about being late; I am generally still on time for 54 , but when I’m not, I don’t feel 55 . Ironically, it would seem that “Ahorita Time,” has actually allowed me to live far more in the “right now” than I ever did before. 41．(1分)A．distant B．immediate C．vague D．confusing 42．(1分)A．anger B．curiosity C．confusion D．astonishment 43．(1分)A．discouraged B．awkward C．torn D．annoyed 44．(1分)A．conveyed B．delivered C．reserved D．restricted 45．(1分)A．rush B．call C．resolution D．requirement 46．(1分)A．waved B．signaled C．screamed D．smiled 47．(1分)A．Completely B．Significantly C．Unhappily D．Obviously 48．(1分)A．faded B．arose C．emerged D．accumulated 49．(1分)A．interest B．insight C．exploration D．fluency 50．(1分)A．literally B．seriously C．deeply D．strongly 51．(1分)A．intention B．character C．culture D．context 52．(1分)A．rejecting B．injecting C．giving D．accepting 53．(1分)A．mixture B．secret C．reflection D．preparation 54．(1分)A．arguments B．appointments C．amusements D．statements 55．(1分)A．dizzy B．isolated C．panicked D．satisfied 四、语法填空 （本题15分）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Paper-cutting, a traditional Chinese folk art, 56(1.5分) (date) back to the Southern and Northern Dynasties and has been passed down through generations. It carries rich cultural meanings and records the daily life of ordinary people. With just a pair of scissors, a piece of paper, and a pair of skillful hands, people can create 57(1.5分) (attract) and beautiful works of art in a short time. Often 58(1.5分) (use) to decorate windows, doors and walls, paper-cutting is considered a symbol of good luck and happiness during the Spring Festival, when families gather 59(1.5分) (celebrate) the new year together. Various lively patterns, such as animals, flowers, historical figures, as well as warm scenes of family reunion, are cut and carved using scissors and small 60(1.5分) (knife). In order to make 61(1.5分) excellent paper-cutting, skills are not enough; it also requires a good imagination. What is even 62(1.5分) (amazing) is that some masters create works without any reference 63(1.5分) a drawn draft (草稿). In recent years, paper-cutting has become more and more popular around the world. Many young people, 64(1.5分) are deeply interested in traditional culture, have started to learn this charming art. They often spend hours practicing patiently until they master the basic skills.

But I didn’t realize that when I first walked into the classroom. “Attention!” Mr. Tide commanded. “I’d like to introduce our new student, Desmond. His family just moved to Chicago from Jamaica (牙买加). Let’s give him a warm welcome.” “Welcome,” the class recited in a chorus that sounded nothing like my pronunciation. To avoid curious eyes, I quickly made my way down the row of desks and sank into my seat. Mr. Tide took this opportunity to share some facts about Jamaica. Every topic brought back memories. I soon slipped off into daydreams of sitting in class with my friends as the warm breeze wafted in through the windows. In contrast, there was no warmth here. The windows were shut tight against the snow. “Desmond! Is school in Jamaica different from ours?” Mr. Tide’s voice pulled me back. I stood up, opened my mouth, then closed it. Part of me wanted to speak with Jamaican rhythm. But the other part wanted to flatten the vowels to sound like everyone else. In the end, I spoke carefully, “Everyone wears a school uniform in Jamaica.” I could have told them about the morning gathering, or the mango tree we climbed during breaks. But I chose a safer answer, which didn’t sound too foreign. To my surprise, no one laughed at my accent. “Did you play sports?” a boy shouted. “I was captain of the school’s cricket (板球) team,” I said proudly and waited for the admiration that usually followed. Silence. Confused faces. No one knew my favorite game! I reached into my bag and pulled out my cricket bat and ball, hoping to explain — but the bell rang before I could. At lunch, I sat alone, eating a cheeseburger — a poor substitute for the patty (肉饼) I loved back home. I tried to like it. But with each bite, I missed home more. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph I: Just then, Kevin, the boy who had asked about sports came over, holding a worn book about world sports.   ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When I got home, the smell of my mom’s Jamaican cooking greeted me at the door.    ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试 —— Unit 1 Cultural Heritage 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）What does the man imply about “time” in different cultures?

W: People may be different in other parts of your country, isn’t it? M: Not completely, you know what they say. An Englishman’s home is his castle. It’s really difficult to get inside.

They prefer to live in houses. （本题4.5分）▶听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。 18．(1.5分)What do we know about the speaker? A．She is a writer. B．She has been to many countries.

C．The time of giving flowers. 【答案】18．B 19．C 20．A 【原文】      W: Good morning, everyone. The topic for today is “Culture Differences”. I’ve enjoyed travelling to many countries. I’ve experienced lots of different cultures and people. One thing that I always remember is that I am a guest and cannot change or break any rules. In North America, the gift-giving rules are very simple. If you are invited to one’s home for dinner, bring some flowers or a small gift from your country. Among family and business partners, they don’t give gifts to each other except on someone’s birthday. However, the Japanese give gifts quite often, often to thank others, such as a teacher or a doctor for their kindness. And there are many rules for everything from the colour to the time of giving the gift. Europeans don’t generally give business gifts. They do follow some rules when visiting homes, especially when bringing flowers. The colour of flowers, however, can carry special meaning, depending on which European country you are in. So, be careful when you give flowers to Europeans. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）As April 18 marks the International Day for Monuments and Sites, also known as World Heritage Day, we’ve selected four archaeological sites in China that deserve exploration.

My grandparents insisted on repairing them, but I thought it a waste of time — why trouble with old buildings in a modern world? However, I was asked to help document the process. I watched as elderly craftsmen carefully carved wooden patterns, their hands rough but steady, pausing now and then to compare with old drawings to keep original styles. They explained that each detail carried stories of our ancestors’ (古人) lives. Villagers also joined in, bringing tools and sharing memories of growing up in the village. On a rainy afternoon, an elderly villager pointed to a cracked beam (横梁):“This is where my father taught me to fix farm tools, and I played here with friends after school.” Her eyes shone with warm memories as she touched the worn wood gently. Suddenly, I realized the village wasn’t just a group of buildings — it was a living record of our roots. As the repair work went on, many young people started visiting, attracted by the village’s rich history and unique architecture shared online. Some even offered to help with digital documentation or designed cultural posters to promote it. The old village gradually came back to life, connecting the distance between age groups with new energy. I once thought cultural heritage was something far away, preserved in museums. But this experience taught me it’s right here, in the places we live and the stories we share. It’s not about keeping things unchanged, but about passing on the values they stand for. Today, the ancient village stands proudly, a symbol of our cultural identity and a lively classroom for future generations. I understand now that protecting heritage is not a burden (负担), but a valuable gift we give to the future with love and responsibility. 24．(2.5分)What did the author think of repairing the ancient village at first?

Since other tea-growing centers in Pu’er may have a larger output, more famous brands (品牌) and heritage surrounding the history of the Tea-horse Ancient Road, Jingmai, also in Pu’er, may not be people’s first choice to look for the best Pu’er Tea. However, being cut off from the outside by rivers, this mountainous area has become a perfect place for an ancient planting technique, growing tea trees under forest, known as the “under-story” method, which filters (过滤) sunshine while ensuring water. Nan Kang, former head of Mangjing village, said, “Compared to modern plantations, we’ll surely produce less tea in the ancient forest. But we have to respect our tradition and belief. Birds eat insects to protect the tea and the fallen leaves from trees provide fertilizer. Everything improves the other, but also limits each other. It is the way of nature.” Nan is an old-time Blang leader’s grandson. Following an old leader named Pa Aileng, his ancestors (祖先) came to settle near the Jingmai Mountain centuries ago. It is believed that Pa Aileng found that tea leaves made his people recover from diseases they suffered from during their moving to other places, so the hero is also considered as a “tea ancestor”. Blang people chose a mountain to remember him. They call it Peak Aileng. “We Blang people believe tea has its own spirit,” Nan says. “The first planted tea tree in every field is called the Tea Spirit Tree. That means the field has an owner. And the symbol also makes everyone follow moral codes and protect the plants.” Now, this mountain of tea, also a storehouse of the time-tested traditions of local ethnic groups, attracts global attention. The Cultural Landscape of Old Tea Forests of the Jingmai Mountain in Pu’er was named as a World Heritage Site, becoming China’s 57th entry on the list. 28．(2.5分)What is Jingmai famous for in planting Pu’er Tea? A．A larger production. B．More famous brands. C．Its unique planting method. D．Its transport system. 29．(2.5分)What can we learn about the “under-story” method from the text? A．It is widely used in Pu’er. B．It was invented by Nan Kang. C．It follows the laws of nature. D．It makes sure to produce more tea. 30．(2.5分)What was tea firstly used as by Nan Kang’s ancestors? A．Main food. B．Gifts for friends. C．Medical treatment. D．A kind of nice drink. 31．(2.5分)What is the best title for the text? A．The Long History of Pu’er Tea B．A Tea Planting Tradition to Treasure C．The Main Planting Areas of Pu’er Tea D．A Mountainous Climate Fit for Pu’er Tea 【答案】28．C 29．C 30．C 31．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了云南普洱茶的产地景迈的基于保护气候、地形特征和山区人民文化习俗之间的社会关系和生态相互依存关系的种茶技术。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第二段“However, being cut off from the outside by rivers, this mountainous area has become a perfect place for an ancient planting technique, growing tea trees under forest, known as the “under-story” method, which filters (过滤) sunshine while ensuring water.(然而，由于河流与外界隔绝，这个山区已经成为一种古老种植技术的理想之地，这种技术被称为“林下茶”种植方法，可以在过滤阳光的同时保证水分)”可知，这个山区由于河流与外界隔绝，成为一种古老种植技术的理想之地，这种技术被称为“林下茶”种植方法。由此可知，景迈有一种独特的种植普洱茶的技术。故选C项。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Everything improves the other, but also limits each other. It is the way of nature.(每件事都互相促进，但也互相限制。这是自然规律)”可知，这种种植技术改善了其他，也彼此相互限制，这是一种自然的方式。由此可知，“林下茶”种植方法遵循了自然规律。故选C项。 30．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“It is believed that Pa Aileng found that tea leaves made his people recover from diseases they suffered from during their moving to other places, so the hero is also considered as a “tea ancestor”.(人们认为，Pa Aileng发现茶叶可以使他的人民在迁移到其他地方时所患的疾病得以康复，所以这位英雄也被认为是“茶祖”)”可知，茶最早是被南康的祖先用来治病。故选C项。 31．主旨大意题。根据首段中的“Since other tea-growing centers in Pu’er may have a larger output, more famous brands (品牌) and heritage surrounding the history of the Tea-horse Ancient Road, Jingmai, also in Pu’er, may not be people’s first choice to look for the best Pu’er Tea.(由于普洱的其他茶叶种植中心可能有更大的产量，更多的知名品牌和围绕茶马古道历史的遗产，同样在普洱的景迈可能不是人们寻找最好的普洱茶的首选)”可知，本段引出在普洱的景迈生产的普洱茶，结合第二段“However, being cut off from the outside by rivers, this mountainous area has become a perfect place for an ancient planting technique, growing tea trees under forest, known as the “under-story” method, which filters (过滤) sunshine while ensuring water.(然而，由于河流与外界隔绝，这个山区已经成为一种古老种植技术的理想之地，这种技术被称为“林下茶”种植方法，可以在过滤阳光的同时保证水分)”可知，本段引出了景迈有一种独特的种植普洱茶的技术，即“林下茶”种植技术，结合下文中介绍的景迈普洱茶的种植技术是基于保护气候、地形特征和山区人民文化习俗之间的社会关系和生态相互依存关系的种茶技术。由此可知，文章主要讲述了一种茶叶种植传统。“A Tea Planting Tradition to Treasure(值得珍惜的茶叶种植传统)”与本文的内容一致，且可以概括本文的主题，适合作为最佳标题。故选B项。 （本题10分）The Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City are recognized as the first city in China and provide archaeological evidence that Chinese civilization has a history of over 5,000 years. The site was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2019. UNESCO describes it as "representing the great achievement of prehistoric rice-cultivating civilization of China over 5,000 years ago, and an outstanding example of early urban civilization". Located in the Yangtze River Basin on the south-eastern coast of the country, the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City were the political and religious center of an early regional state in the Taihu Lake Basin. The Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City reveal an early regional state with rice-cultivating agriculture as its economic base, and social differentiation and a unified belief system, which existed in the Late Neolithic period in China. This 5,300-year-old city was first discovered by Shi Xingeng in 1936, and then became known to the world after many years of archaeological excavations. The Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City have been designated as a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit, and are the most representative prehistoric large-scale settlement in East Asia, marking a milestone in the development of human civilization. The Liangzhu culture, as the peak of early rice agriculture in the formation stage of Chinese civilization, had a profound impact on the evolution of Chinese culture for the following five thousand years. The complex water conservancy system around Liangzhu, along with the burial sites (including altars) that show social classes and excavated items represented by special jade artifacts used in ceremonies, all show how small Neolithic societies changed into an early state. These discoveries clearly show how advanced the rice-growing civilizations were in the lower Yangtze River area during the Neolithic Age. Together, they help us understand well that the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City are a great example of an early local city civilization. 32．(2.5分)Why are the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City important? A．They are listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. B．They prove that China grew rice the earliest in the world. C．They indicate that China has a 5,000-year-old civilization.

It is a joint effort to protect the story of our history and identity. Think of it like a quilt: Each patch represents a piece of our past. 36(2.5分) Around the world, effective strategies help keep our shared heritage safe for future generations.   Community and education. When people feel connected to their cultural landmarks, they’re more likely to protect them with their own hands and hearts. 37(2.5分) Meanwhile, education empowers younger generations to become future protectors. For example, schools in South Africa that teach children about their historical roots have led to more community-led initiatives.    38(2.5分) Modern tools are changing the way we protect heritage. 3D laser scanning allows archaeologists to record sites in great detail, as seen in Jordan’s ancient city of Petra. This helps create digital copies of fragile structures. Meanwhile, sustainable tourism makes sure that visitors don’t harm the heritage they come to see. A recent study found that 60% of tourists are willing to pay more to support sustainable practices.   Laws and partnerships. Strong rules matter. Greece has strict laws with heavy fines to protect sites and stop illegal digging. Also, partnerships between local governments and non-governmental organizations help improve conservation efforts by sharing resources and knowledge. The partnership between Indonesia and the Global Heritage Fund to restore Borobudur’s ancient temples has protected the site. 39(2.5分)   Adaptive reuse. This creative approach gives old buildings a new purpose while keeping their historical value. The High Line in New York City, an abandoned railway turned into a lively public park, keeps its historical value while serving today’s city life. 40(2.5分) They show that preservation and progress can go hand in hand. Many other cities are now following this example, turning old factories into museums or ancient warehouses into community centers. A．Science and practice. B．Technology and tourism. C．Losing any of them means losing part of the story. D．This will offer people more chances to know themselves. E．In Italy, residents of Pompeii regularly volunteer for restoration projects. F．Such a method supports both cultural appreciation and urban development. G．Besides, it boosted local economies through tourism, creating jobs for nearby villagers. 【答案】36．C 37．E 38．B 39．G 40．F 【导语】本文主要介绍了保护文化遗产的多种有效途径与具体做法。 【详解】36．由上文“Think of it like a quilt: Each patch represents a piece of our past.(把它想象成一床被子：每一块补丁都代表着我们过去的一部分。)”可知，此处用被子来比喻文化遗产，每一块补丁都不可或缺。下文“Around the world, effective strategies help keep our shared heritage safe for future generations.(在世界各地，有效的策略帮助我们为后代保护共享的遗产。)”则引出了保护遗产的具体方法。因此，本空需要填入一个能承接被子比喻、强调每块补丁重要性的句子，同时能自然过渡到下文的保护策略。C选项“Losing any of them means losing part of the story.(失去任何一块都意味着失去部分故事。)”完美承接了上文的被子比喻，强调了每一块“补丁”的重要性，同时为下文介绍保护策略做了铺垫，正因为失去任何一块都不行，所以才需要有效的保护策略。 37．由上文“Community and education. When people feel connected to their cultural landmarks, they’re more likely to protect them with their own hands and hearts.(社区与教育。当人们与文化地标产生情感连接时，他们更有可能用自己的双手和心灵去保护它们。)”和下文“Meanwhile, education empowers younger generations to become future protectors.(同时，教育赋予年轻一代成为未来保护者的能力。)”可知，本段围绕“社区与教育”展开，上文讲社区参与，下文用“Meanwhile”转向教育。因此，本空需要填入一个关于社区参与保护遗产的具体例子。E选项“In Italy, residents of Pompeii regularly volunteer for restoration projects.(在意大利，庞贝居民定期自愿参与修复项目。)”是社区主动保护遗产的典型实例，与上文“protect them with their own hands and hearts”高度吻合，且与下文教育部分的举例形成对照。 38．由下文“Modern tools are changing the way we protect heritage. 3D laser scanning allows archaeologists to record sites in great detail, as seen in Jordan’s ancient city of Petra. This helps create digital copies of fragile structures. Meanwhile, sustainable tourism makes sure that visitors don’t harm the heritage they come to see. A recent study found that 60% of tourists are willing to pay more to support sustainable practices.(现代工具正在改变我们保护遗产的方式。3D激光扫描使考古学家能够详细记录遗址，如约旦的古城佩特拉。这有助于创建脆弱结构的数字副本。同时，可持续旅游确保游客不会损害他们前来参观的遗产。最近的一项研究发现，60%的游客愿意支付更多费用来支持可持续实践。)”可知，本段主要介绍了两个方面：一是现代科技手段，二是可持续旅游。因此，本空作为段首小标题，需要概括这两个核心内容。B选项“Technology and tourism.(科技与旅游。)”精准概括了本段的两大主题，与下文内容完全对应。 39．由上文“The partnership between Indonesia and the Global Heritage Fund to restore Borobudur’s ancient temples has protected the site.(印度尼西亚与全球遗产基金合作修复婆罗浮屠古庙，成功保护了这一遗址。)”可知，此处在介绍一个成功的国际合作案例。本空需要填入对该合作成果的补充说明。G选项“Besides, it boosted local economies through tourism, creating jobs for nearby villagers.(此外，它还通过旅游业促进了当地经济发展，为附近村民创造了就业机会。)”中“Besides”表示递进补充，说明该合作除了保护遗址外还带来了经济效益，与上文构成完整的合作成果描述。 40．由上文“The High Line in New York City, an abandoned railway turned into a lively public park, keeps its historical value while serving today’s city life.(纽约市的高线公园，一条废弃铁路变成了充满活力的公共公园，在保留历史价值的同时服务于当今城市生活。)”和下文“They show that preservation and progress can go hand in hand.(它们表明保护与发展可以齐头并进。)”可知，本段主题是“适应性再利用”，上文举例说明，下文总结意义。因此，本空需要填入一个对适应性再利用方法进行总结评价的句子。F选项“Such a method supports both cultural appreciation and urban development.(这种方法既支持文化欣赏，也支持城市发展。)”中“Such a method”指代上文的适应性再利用，“both cultural appreciation and urban development”与下文“preservation and progress can go hand in hand”完美呼应。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）When I first set foot on Mexican soil, I spoke Spanish well. So when I asked a local ice-cream seller for an ice-cream, and he said “ahorita,” which directly translates to “right now”, I took him at his word, believing that its arrival was 41 . I sat near his shop and waited. Half an hour passed and still no ice-cream arrived, so I asked again about it, “Ahorita,” he told me again. His face was a mix of 42 and maybe even embarrassment. I was 43 . Waiting longer wasn’t pleasant, but I felt it was impolite to walk away, especially if the ice-cream was now being 44 just for me. But finally, after waiting too long, I made a (an) 45 for the nearest bus to take me home. As I left, I 46 at my wrist and shrugged to the ice-cream seller. 47 I couldn’t wait any longer and it really wasn’t my fault. His face was, once again, one of the total confusion. This experience 48 from my memory until years later when I came back to live in Mexico. I discovered that understanding “ahorita” took not a fluency in the language, but rather a(n) 49 in the culture. When someone from Mexico says “ahorita,” it should almost never be taken 50 ; its meaning changes greatly with 51 . As a linguist told me, “Ahorita could mean tomorrow, in an hour, within five years or never.” It is even used as a polite way of saying “no, thanks” when 52 an offer. Difficulty in explaining what I have come to call “Ahorita Time” is a 53 of different cultural understandings of time. Since I moved to Mexico, my attitude towards time has changed dramatically. I don’t worry so much about being late; I am generally still on time for 54 , but when I’m not, I don’t feel 55 . Ironically, it would seem that “Ahorita Time,” has actually allowed me to live far more in the “right now” than I ever did before. 41．(1分)A．distant B．immediate C．vague D．confusing 42．(1分)A．anger B．curiosity C．confusion D．astonishment 43．(1分)A．discouraged B．awkward C．torn D．annoyed 44．(1分)A．conveyed B．delivered C．reserved D．restricted 45．(1分)A．rush B．call C．resolution D．requirement 46．(1分)A．waved B．signaled C．screamed D．smiled 47．(1分)A．Completely B．Significantly C．Unhappily D．Obviously 48．(1分)A．faded B．arose C．emerged D．accumulated 49．(1分)A．interest B．insight C．exploration D．fluency 50．(1分)A．literally B．seriously C．deeply D．strongly 51．(1分)A．intention B．character C．culture D．context 52．(1分)A．rejecting B．injecting C．giving D．accepting 53．(1分)A．mixture B．secret C．reflection D．preparation 54．(1分)A．arguments B．appointments C．amusements D．statements 55．(1分)A．dizzy B．isolated C．panicked D．satisfied 【答案】 41．B 42．C 43．C 44．B 45．A 46．B 47．D 48．A 49．D 50．A 51．D 52．A 53．C 54．B 55．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在墨西哥时因不懂“ahorita”的含义而空等冰淇淋，多年后发现“ahorita”含义非常丰富，这一语言的用法反映不同文化对时间理解的差异，也改变了作者对时间的态度。 【详解】41．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：所以，当我向当地的冰淇淋小贩要冰淇淋时，他说“ahorita”，直接翻译过来就是“马上”，我相信了他的话，以为冰淇淋立即就会到。A. distant遥远的；B. immediate立即的；C. vague模糊的；D. confusing令人困惑的。根据上文“and he said “ahorita,” which directly translates to “right now”, I took him at his word”可知，作者把小贩说的“ahorita”理解为“马上”，相信了他的话，因此指以为冰淇淋立即就会到。故选B。 42．考查名词词义辨析。句意：他的脸上混杂着困惑，甚至可能是尴尬。A. anger愤怒；B. curiosity好奇心；C. confusion困惑；D. astonishment惊讶。根据下文“His face was, once again, one of the total confusion.”可知，此时小贩的脸上混杂着困惑，甚至可能是尴尬。故选C。 43．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我很犹豫不定。A. discouraged气馁的；B. awkward尴尬的；C. torn犹豫不定的；D. annoyed恼怒的。根据下文“Waiting longer wasn’t pleasant, but I felt it was impolite to walk away”可知，长时间的等待并不愉快，但作者觉得走开是不礼貌的，因此指犹豫不定。故选C。 44．考查动词词义辨析。句意：长时间的等待并不愉快，但我觉得走开是不礼貌的，尤其是现在冰淇淋是专门为我送的。A. conveyed传达；B. delivered递送；C. reserved保留；D. restricted限制。根据上文“So when I asked a local ice-cream seller for an ice-cream”可知，作者向小贩要了一份冰淇淋，因此指现在冰淇淋是专门为作者送的。故选B。 45．考查名词词义辨析。句意：但最后，在等了太长时间之后，我匆忙去找最近的公共汽车回家。A. rush匆忙；B. call呼叫；C. resolution决心；D. requirement要求。根据上文“after waiting too long”可知，作者等了太长时间，再结合下文“for nearest bus to take me home”可推知，因为花了太多时间等待，作者最后匆忙去找最近的公共汽车回家，短语make a rush意为“匆忙行动”。故选A。 46．考查动词词义辨析。句意：离开时，我用手腕打了个手势，对卖冰淇淋的人耸了耸肩。A. waved挥手；B. signaled示意；C. screamed尖叫；D. smiled微笑。根据下文“at my wrist and shrugged to the ice-cream seller”可推知，作者是通过肢体语言向卖冰淇淋的人传达自己的意思，是用手腕打了个手势。故选B。 47．考查副词词义辨析。句意：显然，我不能再等了，这真的不是我的错。A. Completely完全地；B. Significantly显著地；C. Unhappily不开心地；D. Obviously明显地。根据上文叙述的作者等了很长时间的冰淇淋，但一直没有拿到，最后得回家了，以及下文“I couldn’t wait any longer and it really wasn’t my fault”可推知，作者想表示显然自己无法再等下去。故选D。 48．考查动词词义辨析。句意：这段经历逐渐从我的记忆中消失，直到多年后我回到墨西哥生活。A. faded逐渐消失；B. arose出现；C. emerged浮现；D. accumulated积累。根据下文“from my memory until years later when I came back to live in Mexico”可推知，作者逐渐忘了这段经历，后来再回到墨西哥生活，才想起来这件事。故选A。 49．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我发现理解“ahorita”并不需要流利的语言，而是需要流利的文化。A. interest兴趣；B. insight洞察力；C. exploration探索；D. fluency流利。根据下文“As a linguist told me, “Ahorita could mean tomorrow, in an hour, within five years or never.” It is even used as a polite way of saying “no, thanks” when ____12____ an offer.”可知，墨西哥人所说的“ahorita”有着非常丰富的含义，理解其含义需要流利的文化，即对文化非常了解。故选D。 50．考查副词词义辨析。句意：当墨西哥人说“ahorita”时，几乎不应该从字面上理解；它的意思随着上下文的不同而变化很大。A. literally字面地；B. seriously严肃地；C. deeply深深地；D. strongly强烈地。根据下文“its meaning changes greatly”可知，它的意思变化很大，因此是不应该从字面上理解，短语take sth. literally意为“按照字面去理解”。故选A。 51．考查名词词义辨析。句意：当墨西哥人说“ahorita”时，几乎不应该从字面上理解；它的意思随着语境的不同而变化很大。A. intention意图；B. character性格；C. culture文化；D. context语境。根据下文“As a linguist told me, “Ahorita could mean tomorrow, in an hour, within five years or never.””可知，墨西哥人所说的“ahorita”有着非常丰富的含义，由此推知，它的意思随着语境的不同而变化很大。故选D。 52．考查动词词义辨析。句意：它甚至被用作拒绝邀请时表示“不，谢谢”的礼貌方式。A. rejecting拒绝；B. injecting注射；C. giving给予；D. accepting接受。根据上文“a polite way of saying “no, thanks””可推知，这是在拒绝邀请时表示“不，谢谢”的礼貌方式。故选A。 53．考查名词词义辨析。句意：解释我所谓的“Ahorita时间”的困难反映了不同文化对时间的理解。A. mixture混合物；B. secret秘密；C. reflection反射；反映；D. preparation准备。根据上文“Difficulty in explaining what I have come to call “Ahorita Time””和下文“of different cultural understandings of time”可推知，语言和文化紧密相关，作者很难解释“Ahorita时间”是因为不同文化对时间有不同的理解，即这种困难反映了这种理解上的差异。故选C。 54．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我不太担心迟到；我通常还是会准时赴约，但当我不能准时赴约时，我也不会感到恐慌。A. arguments争论；B. appointments约定；C. amusements娱乐；D. statements陈述。根据上文“I don’t worry so much about being late; I am generally still on time for”可推知，此处是指和时间相关的约定行为，作者通常还是会准时赴约。故选B。 55．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我不太担心迟到；我通常还是会准时赴约，但当我不能准时赴约时，我也不会感到恐慌。A. dizzy头晕的；B. isolated孤立的；C. panicked恐慌的；D. satisfied满意的。根据上文“I don’t worry so much about being late”可知，作者不太担心迟到，因此在不能准时的时候，也不会感到恐慌。故选C。 四、语法填空 （本题15分）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Paper-cutting, a traditional Chinese folk art, 56(1.5分) (date) back to the Southern and Northern Dynasties and has been passed down through generations.

But I didn’t realize that when I first walked into the classroom. “Attention!” Mr. Tide commanded. “I’d like to introduce our new student, Desmond. His family just moved to Chicago from Jamaica (牙买加). Let’s give him a warm welcome.” “Welcome,” the class recited in a chorus that sounded nothing like my pronunciation. To avoid curious eyes, I quickly made my way down the row of desks and sank into my seat. Mr. Tide took this opportunity to share some facts about Jamaica. Every topic brought back memories. I soon slipped off into daydreams of sitting in class with my friends as the warm breeze wafted in through the windows. In contrast, there was no warmth here. The windows were shut tight against the snow. “Desmond! Is school in Jamaica different from ours?” Mr. Tide’s voice pulled me back. I stood up, opened my mouth, then closed it. Part of me wanted to speak with Jamaican rhythm. But the other part wanted to flatten the vowels to sound like everyone else. In the end, I spoke carefully, “Everyone wears a school uniform in Jamaica.” I could have told them about the morning gathering, or the mango tree we climbed during breaks. But I chose a safer answer, which didn’t sound too foreign. To my surprise, no one laughed at my accent. “Did you play sports?” a boy shouted. “I was captain of the school’s cricket (板球) team,” I said proudly and waited for the admiration that usually followed. Silence. Confused faces. No one knew my favorite game! I reached into my bag and pulled out my cricket bat and ball, hoping to explain — but the bell rang before I could. At lunch, I sat alone, eating a cheeseburger — a poor substitute for the patty (肉饼) I loved back home. I tried to like it. But with each bite, I missed home more. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph I: Just then, Kevin, the boy who had asked about sports came over, holding a worn book about world sports.   ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When I got home, the smell of my mom’s Jamaican cooking greeted me at the door.    ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One Possible Version: Just then, Kevin, the boy who had asked about sports came over, holding a worn book about world sports. “Desmond, is this cricket?” he asked, pointing to a blurry photo. I nodded and pulled out my bat and ball. His eyes lit up with curiosity. “Can you teach me?” he asked. I hesitated, then agreed. After school, we met on the field. I showed him how to hold the flat bat, how to stand, how to swing. He missed the first few throws but kept trying. When he finally sent the ball rolling across the grass, he let out a cheer. “This is actually fun!” For the rest of the afternoon, it was just the two of us — passing the ball, laughing at his wild swings, and me forgetting to flatten my vowels. When I got home, the smell of my mom’s Jamaican cooking greeted me at the door. “How was school?” Mom asked. “Good,” I said, as she handed me a warm beef patty. I took a bite, and the familiar flavor flooded my mouth. For a moment, I was back in Jamaica, like an ordinary afternoon of playing cricket and devouring a patty. I thought about Kevin, how eagerly he had swung my bat, how my real accent had slipped out unnoticed. Maybe I didn’t have to sound American to belong. Because home wasn’t a place I left behind, it was something I carried with me, in my sport, taste and accent. My different culture could be a bridge, rather than a wall. Maybe, tomorrow I’d bring him a patty too. 【导语】本文以人物为线索。Desmond刚从牙买加来到芝加哥的学校，面对陌生的环境与文化的隔阂，他感到格格不入，试图隐藏真实的自我以寻求接纳。然而，一次关于板球的对话成为了转折点，让他找回了在家乡的快乐，更明白了家不是自己抛弃的地方，它一直与自己同在，是随身携带的文化印记，他的独特文化能够成为跨文化交流的桥梁。 【详解】1. 续写线索： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可以描写Desmond和Kevin之间从关于板球的对话到二人一起练习板球，这愉快的经历让他忘记了自己口音的不同。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可以描写Desmond回到家中告诉妈妈学校体验不错，品尝家乡美食让他回忆起学校与Kevin的相处经历，让他明白了家的概念以及自己的文化定位。 2. 段落续写： 交流板球知识——一起练习板球——与妈妈分享学校体验——回忆学校与Kevin的互动经历——重新认识了家的概念以及自己的文化定位 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①发出：let out/emit ②抛下：leave behind/abandon 情绪类 ①犹豫：hesitate/falter ②热切地：eagerly/passionately 【点睛】【高分句型1】For the rest of the afternoon, it was just the two of us — passing the ball, laughing at his wild swings, and me forgetting to flatten my vowels.(使用了现在分词作状语、独立主格结构) 【高分句型2】Because home wasn’t a place I left behind, it was something I carried with me, in my sport, taste and accent.

I've enjoyed traveling to many countries, have experienced lots of different cultures in people. One thing that I always remember is that I am a guest and cannot change or break any rules. In north america, the gift giving rules are very simple. If you are invited to one's home for dinner, bring some flowers or a small gift from your country. Among family and business partners, they don't give gifts to each other except on someone's birthday. However, the japanese give gifts quite often, nothing to thank others, such as a teacher or a doctor for their kindness, and there are many rules for everything, from the color to the time of giving a gift. Europeans don't generally give business gifts. They do follow some rules when visiting homes, especially when bringing flowers. The color of flowers, however, can Carry special meaning depending on which european country you are in, so be careful when you give flowers to europeans. Good morning, everyone.
