They were brave people from Northern Europe, such as Norway, Denmark and Sweden. Their most active time was from the year 793 to the 11th century. The Vikings were good at building strong ships and sailing on the sea. In the old days, many people thought the Vikings were bad pirates. They traveled by sea and entered many coastal towns in Europe. They fought with swords and shields. In fact, the Vikings were not only fighters. They were also smart traders and great explorers. They traveled to many new places, like Iceland, Greenland and even North America. They arrived there hundreds of years earlier than Columbus. They built new homes in these new places. The Vikings liked dangerous trips and new discoveries. They had their own old beliefs. As years passed, the Vikings slowly joined local European groups and became part of history. Their stories teach us good lessons. They show us the spirit of being brave, smart and willing to explore new things. Now people have a clear understanding of the Vikings.

Greetings from Paris! Today we’re exploring some amazing treasures in one of the largest museums on Earth—the Louvre! Let’s go! Now, right behind me is the Winged Victory of Samothrace. It looks like she just flew down from the sky and landed on a ship. Her head and arms are missing, but you can imagine she’s raising her arms in joy after an ancient war. Look how the wind blows her dress! I can’t believe she’s made of stone. Amazing, isn’t it? Okay, I’d better move on. Next up is the one and only Mona Lisa. The painting is a lot smaller and is protected by glass. But from here I can get a good view to show you. When I look into her eyes, she seems to have a mind of her own! One moment she seems to be laughing at me, but then again I catch a sense of sadness in her smile. Perhaps that’s why she attracts so many visitors every day. And now, it’s time to get close to one of history’s greatest artists, Rembrandt. He painted this self-portrait about 400 years ago. Throughout his life, he made over 90 self-portraits. Was it his way of taking a selfie? Or was it simply cheaper to paint himself than to pay for a model? Well, it’s up to you. About 35,000 works are shown in the Louvre. They really reach out to us across the centuries as if time itself were nothing. I’ll say bye for now and hope you can all visit these works of art one day. By the way, if you enjoy my live show, follow me here to find out where I’m visiting next. 1. Which of the following pictures is Winged Victory of Samothrace? A.  B.  C.  D.  2.

D. A teacher who’s having an art lesson. 二、书面表达 假如你是茶文化博物馆的讲解员，明天你要向一批外国游客用英语介绍有关茶的发明历史。请根据以下英语问题，结合本单元所学内容准备一篇题为"The Invention of Tea"的书面介绍。 内容提示： 1.When was it invented? 2.Who was it invented by? 3.How was it invented? 要求： 1.词数不少于100；首句已给出不计入总词数。 2.不要只简单回答内容提示中的问题，可增加相关内容。 The Invention of Tea Tea is the most popular drink after water in the world. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 一、阅读单选 （来源:2024年甘肃省甘南州中考英语真题）On February 3rd, 1949, New York Harbor (港) was an exciting place. Many people were there to greet a ship from France. On the ship were 49 French railroad boxcars (火车车厢) filled with gifts from the people of France to the people of America. These boxcars were from the famous Merci Train (Merci, a French word meaning “thank you”). After World War Ⅱ (二战), a lot of factories, roads and farms in France had been destroyed. Many French people had no jobs or money and had little to wear and little to eat. In the winter of 1947, a train was sent across the United States, stopping in cities and towns along the way. At every stop, people gave whatever they could. Factories gave clothing and medicine. Farmers gave food. Families gave money. Even schoolchildren gave away their pocket money (零用钱). All the things were then taken to France by ship. By 1949, the French had begun to recover (恢复) from the war. The Merci Train was their way of saying “thank you” to America. French people had filled the boxcars with gifts. Most of them were personal, like hand-made toys, children’s drawings, or postcards. But the boxcars themselves were perhaps the most meaningful of the gifts. On each car, the French people had painted the pictures of all their 40 provinces, with an American eagle (鹰) on the front. The boxcars were taken to each state of America, where they were warmly greeted. Now many of the states still keep their boxcars. Gifts sent by the French people can still be seen in some museums. The Merci Train came out of the war, but it now reminds the world that countries can also work together in peace. 1. Many people crowded at New York Harbor on February 3rd, 1949 to ________. A. welcome the Merci Train B. meet their family C. have a big party 2. In 1947, a train stopped in cities across America in order to ________. A. give away clothing and food B. get more soldiers for the war C. collect things to help French people 3. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refers to (指) ________. A. the American people B. the French people C. the gifts 4. The French people painted their 40 provinces and an American eagle on each boxcar because ________. A. they thought France was stronger than America B. it could show the friendship between the two countries C. the boxcars would be more beautiful 5. The passage is mainly about ________. A. the story of the Merci Train B. American museums where the boxcars are kept C. gifts that American people liked 1 / 6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 2 A Look into the Past Section B 3a-3c A组 巩固过关 C组 思维拔高 B组 能力进阶 拓展 链接中考 一、单词拼写 1.
