UNIT 2 单元主题训练

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

Singapore is a city­state in Southeast Asia.Thanks to a program, we got a chance to explore the Garden City for one day.

First, we headed to the Gardens by the bay.We were attracted by the Supertrees at once.They are high­rise gardens, which produce electricity using energy from the sun, collect rainwater, and more.From there, we headed to the Cloud Forest, which I found most amazing in this Garden City.In hot and wet Singapore, this is a great place to cool off. Inside, a large waterfall comes down the side of the “cloud mountain”．This intricate structure (错综复杂的建筑) is divided into three levels and contains plants from different places.Visitors are free to walk around and learn more about all of the plants.Our journey then led us to a theater inside the Cloud Forest where we watched a ten­minute film.I was totally taken aback by what I saw.I had never realized that our planet would change so greatly when the temperature increased by just five degrees.

Then we headed back outside and continued on our walk.Between two of the larger Supertrees, you'll find the Skyway.Visitors can head to the top to enjoy a fantastic bird's eye view of the city.

Next, we made our way to the Singapore River, where we saw a boat going by.In search of food, we headed into the Marina Bay Sands.It has what has to be the best food court I've ever eaten in, with delicious food from all over the world.We ordered different kinds of dishes, which were all tasty.

Needing to walk off that huge lunch, we walked from one side of the river to the other.On the other side, we found Merlion, the symbol of Singapore.Water flows out of the mouth of this amazing creation all day long.While walking along the riverside and enjoying the beautiful view，I couldn't help but wish we had more time to explore this Garden City.

语篇解读：本文是记叙文。文章记述了作者一行人游览新加坡的见闻。

1．Which of the following did the author most enjoy?

A．The Skyway.  B．The Supertrees.

C．The Cloud Forest.  D．The Marina Bay Sands.

解析：选C　细节理解题。由第二段中的“...we headed to the Cloud Forest，which I found most amazing”可知，在此次游览的景点中，作者最欣赏的是Cloud Forest。

2．How did the author feel when he watched the film?

A．Pleased.  B．Relaxed.

C．Satisfied.  D．Surprised.

解析：选D　推理判断题。由第二段最后两句可知，作者对影片内容感到很吃惊，他之前一直没有意识到温度升高5度会对地球造成如此大的影响。take sb.aback意为“使某人震惊或惊讶”。

3．What did the author's group do after lunch?

A．They climbed a cloud mountain.

B．They took a boat trip on the river.

C．They went for a walk near the river.

D．They had a rest in the Marina Bay Sands.

解析：选C　细节理解题。由最后一段第一句可知，饭后为了帮助消化，作者一行在河附近散步。

B

The hike to the lost Incan city of Choquequirao is one of the most difficult in Peru.From the town of Cachora, which is 161 km west of Cusco, it's an 18 km walk to Capuliyoc Mountain, then down to Playa Rosalina, where travellers camp for the night. Waking early, travellers then have to cross the Apurimac River and walk uphill to camp close to the ruins.Then, the next morning, it's another 2 km walk up to the ruins, 3,100 m above sea level.To get back？Well, it's the same way you came.

“I've had people in their 60 s and 70 s do it，” said Juan Barrios, a guide from the Adventure Life company.“But some people come out thinking that because it's only 28 km from the drop­off they can do it in a day.Six or seven days for the hike is best.”

It makes sense, then, that Choquequirao draws only about 30 people a day during the high season (June through August)．Compare that to the 2,500 people who arrive each day at the famous Incan city of Machu Picchu.

But for those who make the journey, the rewards are great: beautiful mountain views at every turn, and the chance to explore the wonderful ruins nearly alone.

Believed to be created around the same time as Machu Picchu, in 1445, Choquequirao is actually larger than better­known Machu Picchu.But very little has been written about Peru's other lost city and researchers are still uncovering new parts of the ruins, leaving life on the mountain relatively untouched.

But officials say that the building of the first cable car (缆车) to Choquequirao will shorten the several­day walk to a 15­minute cable car ride.As a result, the number of travellers that now make the journey each week could turn into 3,000 visitors per day.

Choquequirao is beautiful now because of how untouched it is.Even though the lost city was discovered by Spanish explorer Juan Arias Diaz in 1710, the ruins still make you feel as though you're the first to find them.Will it be the same when more travellers flood in (大量涌入)?

语篇解读：本文是说明文。文章是对秘鲁的乔昆丘拉城的介绍。

4．What does the first paragraph centre on?

A．How tall Choquequirao is.

B．How to get to Choquequirao easily.

C．What great views Choquequirao has.

D．How hard the trip to Choquequirao is.

解析：选D　段落大意题。首段第一句是本段主题句，该段详细描述进入乔昆丘拉城的过程就是为了说明参观该景点的路程非常艰辛。

5．In what way is Choquequirao different from Machu Picchu?

A．Choquequirao is older.

B．Choquequirao is quieter.

C．Choquequirao is smaller.

D．Choquequirao is better known.

解析：选B　推理判断题。由第三段中对比乔昆丘拉城每日游客量和马丘比丘的每日游客量可知，参观乔昆丘拉城的游客很少，因此也更安静一些。

6．How are the ruins of Choquequirao?

A．They're still being dug out.

B．They're in a generally poor condition.

C．They're being renewed at the moment.

D．They've been researched internationally.

解析：选A　细节理解题。由第五段最后一句可知，研究人员对乔昆丘拉城古迹的发掘工作仍然在进行中。

7．What does the author think of Choquequirao in the future?

A．It will be more attractive.

B．It will develop at a slow speed.

C．It won't necessarily take a turn for the better.

D．It won't be more popular than Machu Picchu.

解析：选C　推理判断题。由最后一段最后一句可知，他不确定更多游客的到来是否会让乔昆丘拉城古迹朝着更好的方向发展。

Ⅱ.阅读七选五

(2022·武汉质检)Diversity comes in many forms: gender, race, age, culture, etc. All of these contribute to an individual's unique experience of the world. Here are some reasons why it is significant in all aspects of our lives.

·Productivity

Bringing together people of various backgrounds leads to new ideas.　8　 When tackling an issue, wouldn't it be better to have more than one understanding approach, rather than everyone contributing the same thoughts and conclusions?

·Becoming a World Citizen

If you experience diversity in your everyday life, you will be regularly exposed to people, cultures, traditions, and practices that are unlike your own. Not only will you improve your social development, but you will also increase your understanding of the world. 　9　

·Growing Acceptance

Promoting diversity is the first step towards true acceptance. Through growing contact with, and communication between new people, individuals may see that they may have more in common than they thought. 　10　 And that is okay, too! Increasing familiarity with these differences can facilitate acceptance.

·Richer Life Experience

Diversity is colourful! What if everyone who surrounded you was exactly like you, in every way？　11　 We need new ideas, views, and practices to stimulate and inspire us, and to show us the way others eat, celebrate, and love!

We must not forget to spread the word about the importance of diversity and to face the world with a love and a celebration of our differences.　12　

A．Where is the fun in that?

B．Or, they may still be remarkably different.

C．Everyone has their own way of viewing a problem.

D．This will prepare you to be a part of a global society.

E．Is diversity something we should fight for in all aspects of our lives?

F．Hearing about another's experience can provide you with a different idea.

G．Together, our differences make a strong and beautiful world community.

语篇解读：文章说明了多样性会以各种各样的形式出现及其重要性，同时这些多样性有助于个人体验世界。

8．选C　根据此空后一句可知，显然，每个人都有自己看待问题的方式。

9．选D　此段的标题是Becoming a World Citizen，意思是“成为世界公民”，而根据空前的内容可知，如果你在日常生活中体验到多样性，你就会经常接触到与你不同的人、文化、传统和习俗，你不仅可以提高你的社交能力，还可以增加对世界的了解。显然，这都是为成为“世界公民”做准备，故D项符合语境。

10．选B　根据此空后的“Increasing familiarity with these differences can facilitate acceptance.”可知，对这些差异越熟悉就越容易提高包容度。显然此处的differences与选项B中的different一致，故B项符合语境。

11．选A　根据此空前一句可知，选项A与上文保持一致，说明如果没有多样性，生活就会失去色彩。

12．选G　空前讲到我们决不能忘记宣传多样性的重要性，同时，要以爱和赞美差异来面对我们的世界。显然作者在这里表明差异的作用，选项G使文章前后保持一致，说明差异性的重要性。

Once __8__ (arrive) in Jiuzhaigou, there are taxis to help you tour around, along with some tourist buses.Many people choose __9__ (book) a private tour so they can __10__ (easy) visit some of the nearby attractions.

语篇解读：本文是说明文。文章介绍了去九寨沟旅游的交通方式。

1．destinations　考查名词复数。destination意为“目的地”，是可数名词，根据设空处前的most other可知，此处表示泛指，指“大多数其他的目的地”。

2．are　考查时态和主谓一致。设空处所在句的主语是three most popular cities，谓语动词用复数形式，且此处描述的是客观事实。

3．is called　考查时态和语态。主语airport与动词call之间是被动关系，用被动语态，且此处描述的是客观事实。

4．which　考查定语从句。设空处引导非限制性定语从句，补充说明主句的情况，且在从句中作主语。

5．with　考查介词。share ...with ...“与……共享……”。

6．closer　考查形容词比较级。根据上文中的It is about a two­hour drive to Jiuzhaigou National Park以及此处的to the airport — about an hour's drive可知，这里表示的是比较意义，指黄龙国家公园比九寨沟离机场“更近一些”。

7．a　考查冠词。单数名词与不定冠词a/an连用，可以表示泛指，且设空处后的private是辅音音素开头。

8．arriving　考查非谓语动词。设空处所在部分作状语，arrive的逻辑主语是you，此处省略。因为you与arrive之间是主动关系，故填arriving。

9．to book　考查非谓语动词。choose to do sth.“选择做某事”。

10．easily　考查副词。设空处作状语，修饰动词visit，表示“容易地”。
