Unit 1 單元主題語篇訓練Ⅰ.閱讀理解AIf Confucius (孔子) were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He'd need a strong wind to help him put them out.While many people in China will remember Confucius on this special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It's nothing personal. Most Americans don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy (哲學). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks (缺點) of Westerners' philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well.Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.語篇解讀：本文闡述了西方學生學習中國文化的現(xiàn)象，并告訴我們中國古代偉大的思想家——孔子的思想仍然受到世界人們的追捧。1．The opening paragraph is mainly intended to .A．provide some key facts about ConfuciusB．a(chǎn)ttract the readers' interest in the subjectC．show great respect for the ancient thinkerD．prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations解析：選B　寫作意圖題。第一段說如果孔子仍然活著并能慶祝生日的話，將會有很多的蠟燭，他需要很大的風才能吹滅，是為了吸引讀者的興趣，讓讀者繼續(xù)讀下去。2．We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students .A．have a great interest in studying ChineseB．take an active part in Chinese competitionsC．try to get high scores in Chinese examsD．fight for a chance to learn Chinese解析：選A　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段第一句和第六句中的“are racing to learn Chinese”可知，美國學生對中國文化很感興趣。3．What is the best title for the passage?A．Forgotten Wisdom in AmericaB．Huge Fans of the Chinese LanguageC．Chinese Culture for WesternersD．Old Thinker with a Big Future解析：選D　標題歸納題。本文主要向我們介紹了孔子的思想對西方的影響，以及將來可能產(chǎn)生的影響。BWe humans are a curious species. As NASA says on its website, “Humans are driven to explore the unknown, discover new worlds, push the boundaries of our scientific and technical limits, and then push further.”And space exploration is where we've been “pushing” our furthest curiosity.The year 2019 began with two pieces of exciting space exploration news. On Jan. 3, China landed a spacecraft, Chang'e 4, on the moon's far side — the side we can't see from Earth — for the first time in human history. And according to a report published on Jan. 9 in Nature, scientists from the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) detected repeated radio signals from a galaxy 1.5 billion light years away, possibly sent by intelligent aliens.However, what's even more exciting than the news is the fact that whenever speaking of space exploration, we forget our political and cultural differences — the things that so obsess us.“When you go into space, you become part of this overall collective (集體) called ‘Humanity’，” Ken Liu, Chinese-American sci-fi writer and translator, told Quartz website. “You're no longer Chinese, American, Russian ... Your culture is left behind. You're now just ‘Humanity’ with a capital ‘H’．”This magic has worked all the way along our journey into space. When US astronaut Neil Armstrong (1930—2012) became the first human to set foot on the moon in 1969, for example, he told the world：“That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” Now, with Chang'e 4 touching down on new moon territory, China's aim is to help scientists from around the world find out more about Earth's only satellite. And with the discovery of the CHIME astronomers, we're one step closer to answering a common question in science：“Are humans alone in the universe？”It's true that we are a curious species. But instead of being curious about the “unknown”， perhaps we're really more eager to “push further” our own human “boundaries”and “l(fā)imits”．語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。多年來，人類對于宇宙的探索從未停止。隨著嫦娥4號登上月球的背面，我們對月球的探索又進入了一個新的階段。4．Which of the following is the discovery of the CHIME scientists?A．A galaxy with intelligent aliens.B．Repeated radio signals sent by intelligent aliens.C．Repeated radio signals from a distant galaxy.D．Radio signals from a galaxy several years ago.解析：選C　細節(jié)理解題。由題干中的discovery of the CHIME scientists可定位到原文第三段。根據(jù)該段最后一句中的“detected repeated radio signals from a galaxy”可知，CHIME探測到了一個來自15億光年外的星系的無線電信號。故選C。5．Why does the author quote Ken Liu's words?A．To introduce the famous writer, Ken Liu.B．To show that in space we are just humanity.C．To emphasize that culture is not important.D．To introduce the things that obsess us very much.解析：選B　細節(jié)理解題。由題干中的Ken Liu可定位到原文倒數(shù)第三段。根據(jù)該段中的“You're now just ‘Humanity’ with a capital ‘H’．”可知，Ken Liu告訴我們，在太空中，沒有國籍，我們都是一個集體——人類。故選B。6．What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 6?A．Further confirm his opinion.B．Add some background information.C．Summarize the previous paragraphs.D．Introduce a new topic for discussion.解析：選A　推理判斷題。由第六段第一句“This magic has worked all the way along our journey into space.”及接下來該段圍繞這個話題進一步的舉例說明可以推斷出，該段是在繼續(xù)證明作者的觀點。故選A。7．What's the main idea of the text?A．China takes the lead in space exploration.B．Humans are not alone in the universe.C．Space exploration is a common cause of mankind.D．Humans desire to push the boundaries of scientific limits.解析：選C　主旨大意題。本文是圍繞宇宙探索這個話題展開的。而且，文章還提到，宇宙探索是人類共同的事業(yè)，在這里不分國籍、文化。故選C。Ⅱ.短文改錯Several days before, we held an activity in the schoolyard to learn and appreciate what the history and art of Peking Opera facial masks. Facial masks dated back to over 1,000 years. Different colors of masks, as well the various facial expressions, represent different characters and personalities of the roles. Prepared Peking Opera-themed things, we let Peking Opera fans try them. It took me nearly one and a half hour to finish one piece of face painting. Some fans even put on facial makeup under the help of Miss Mei, a professional teacher, and they certain looked impressive. We all admired them because of the perfect makeup technique. What an meaningful day we had!答案：第一句：before→ago; 去掉what第二句：dated→date第三句：well后加as第四句：Prepared→Preparing第五句：hour→hours第六句：under→with; certain→certainly第七句：them→her第八句：an→aⅢ.書面表達假定你是李華，你的美國朋友Jack來信詢問“嫦娥四號”探測器(Chang'e 4 probe)名稱的由來。請你給他回一封信，內容包括：1．“嫦娥四號”登月成功；2．嫦娥的傳說；3．中國人的登月夢。注意：1.詞數(shù)100左右；2．可以適當增加細節(jié)，以使行文連貫。　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　參考范文：Dear Jack，I'm glad you're interested in the origin of the name of Chang'e 4 probe, which successfully landed on the far side of the moon this year. Here I'd like to tell you something about it.The story of Chang'e and her flight to the moon has been popular throughout China for thousands of years. In the eyes of ancient Chinese, Chang'e was the first person who set foot there, and was regarded as the hope and desire in exploring the moon. That's why the probe is named after Chang'e.I'm sure we'll make greater progress in space exploration and realize our dream of the manned spaceship landing on the moon.Best wishes.Yours，Li Hua
