课时素养检测 十一　Unit 2　Period 3Ⅰ. 阅读理解New archaeological(考古学的) discoveries suggest that trade between Europe and Asia along the Silk Road probably began in some form many centuries earlier than once thought. The findings,  coupled with a widening range of scientific and historical research could add a fascinating new page to the epic of the Silk Road. The latest and most surprising discovery is pieces of silk found in the hair of an Egyptian mummy from about 1000 BC, long before regular traffic on the Silk Road and at least one thousand years before silk was previously thought to be used in Egypt. Other research may extend human activity along this route back even further, perhaps a million years to the migration of human ancestors into eastern Asia. The official origin of East-West commerce along the road is usually placed in the late 2nd century BC when an agent of the Chinese Emperor Wu-di returned from a dangerous secret mission(使命)across the desert into the remote high country of Central Asia. The agent, Zhang Qian, traveled as far as Afghanistan and brought back knowledge of even more distant lands such as Persia, Syria and a place known as Lijien. Historians have called this one of the most important journeys in ancient times. His journey opened the way for what has been thought to be the first indirect contacts between the ancient world’s two superpowers, China and Rome. Chinese silk, first traded to central Asian tribes for war horses and to the Parthians of old Persia in exchange for acrobats and ostrich eggs, was soon finding its way through a network of merchants to the luxury markets in Rome. But the new discoveries show that Chinese silk was apparently present in the West long before the Han emperor started organized trade over the Silk Road. The research could change thinking about the early history of world trade and provide insights into the mystery of just how and when Europe and the Mediterranean lands first became aware of the glorious culture at the other end of Eurasia. 【语篇概述】本文是介绍最新考古发现的说明文。从文中可以看出我们原以为的丝绸之路的历史实际上可能会更早。1.

If something happens, sit down with your roommate and have a face-to-face conversation. I’ve seen roommate relationships fall apart because something happens and, instead of talking to each other, the two start complaining about their roommates behind backs. 　2　 　　Don’t expect to be best friends　　Some roommates become the best of friends, and some don’t. Don’t put pressure on yourself or your roommate, especially when you first meet. 　3　 And if your roommate doesn’t end up being your best friend, don’t worry.  　　Ask before you take　　This applies to food, clothes and anything else. If you want to keep a relationship going, show your roommate that you have respect for what is his or hers by asking first. 　4　 　　Clean up after yourself　　This should go without saying. Don’t be lazy. Or, at least, don’t bury your roommate in your clothes and garbage. Most people I’ve come across in college are messy. 　5　But being considerate with where you put your stuff will help you avoid conflict.  A. So you need to think twice before you help your roommate out. B. This creates nothing but awkward situations and unhappiness. C. Even if you both agree to share everything, you should still ask. D. You don’t have all the time to clean your room and keep it organized. E. It all starts with you to have a good relationship with your roommate. F. Sometimes you get stuck with someone who has tons of negative energy. G. Remember, you’re trying to make a new friend, not to scare your roommate away. 【语篇概述】本文给我们提出了四条如何成为好的室友的建议。1. 【解析】选E。根据上文Having a roommate can be one of the best experiences in college or,  easily,  one of the worst. 可知,  有个室友可能是大学最棒的经历,  也可能是最坏的经历。下文应是:  但这些的前提是和室友保持一种良好的关系。故选E。2. 【解析】选B。根据上文I’ve seen roommate relationships fall apart because something happens and,  instead of talking to each other,  the two start complaining about their roommates behind backs. 可知,  室友之间的相处应该是有什么说什么,  不能在背后议论他人。下文应是:  如果那么做只会造成尴尬以及不愉快的局面。故选B。3. 【解析】选G。根据上文的Don’t put pressure on yourself or your roommate, especially when you first meet. 可知,  第一次见面时,  不一定就要成为好朋友,  不要给双方太多压力,  你是在交朋友,  不要把室友吓跑。故选G。4. 【解析】选C。根据上文的If you want to keep a relationship going, show your roommate that you have respect for what is his or hers by asking first. 可知,  一定要尊重对方,  拿别人东西时一定要先询问,  故选C。5. 【解析】选D。根据下文But being considerate with where you put your stuff will help you avoid conflict. 可知,  虽然不用一直收拾房间,  但是要把自己的东西放得有次序,  以免与室友因此发生冲突,  上文应与收拾房间相关。故选D。Ⅲ. 完形填空(2020·武汉高一检测)My father was born in a small town in the US.

As my mother said repeatedly, “We made lots of new friends on our trip—most of them were mechanics (机修工)”,  　4　 we often spent hours in repair shops. But that was way 　5　 than sitting by the roadside while waiting for the engine (发动机) to cool when it was 40 ℃ outside.  Getting on sometimes seemed impossible. There were always a lot of 　6　, especially among us back-seat passengers about who had to sit in the middle.  But even if it was hard, we did learn a lot about 　7　.  When we were traveling in the Philippines, we drove to Quezon City one day. It should have been a one-hour drive but was nearly three, 　8　 bad roads and worse traffic. “Did you put our 　9　 in the car?  ” my father asked my mother as we arrived. “No,  ” she said, slowly turning toward my father. “I thought you did. ” That was 　10　 a seven-hour car trip turned into a 16-hour car trip, which was mostly spent in silence.  On occasions like that, we had to learn to　11　 our anger because we were stuck (困在) in a rolling box with the same people for the 　12　 of the journey. Even if I sometimes felt like opening the car door and 　13　 one of my sisters out, I kept my feelings to myself.  This is why road trips were like 　14　 universities to us.

Only this time,  I myself would put the suitcases in the car.  【语篇概述】本文为哲理故事。作者的父亲喜欢冒险,  经常带着家人去旅行,  作者通过旅行意识到旅行让我们学会与他人相处。1.
