必修第二册　UNIT 1　CULTURAL HERITAGE

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

(2022·厦门市第一次质检)

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) included on December 17, 2020 China’s Tai Chi on the Representative List of the Intangible (无形的) Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The decision was announced during the online meeting of the UNESCO Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage held from December 14 to 19 in Kingston, capital of Jamaica.

“Born in the mid-17th century in a small village named Chenjiagou located in Central China’s Henan Province, Tai Chi is not only a kind of traditional wushu integrated with slow movements and deep breathing, but is also deeply rooted in many areas of Chinese culture, such as medicine and philosophy，” Zhu Xianghua says, who is the son of the famous Tai Chi master Zhu Tiancai.

Although it has spread to more than 150 countries and regions, attracting more than 100 million people to practice, the idea that Tai Chi is for the elderly has stopped many young people practicing the ancient wushu. They think of it as a slow exercise, which is specially made and better suited for their grandparents. Instead, many young people are turning to the Indian practice of yoga (瑜伽) to relieve stress, which was placed on the UNESCO’s List in 2016.

In order to promote Tai Chi, joint efforts have been made from individuals and the Chinese government in the last decades. Xi’an Jiaotong University requires students to learn Tai Chi. Wang Yunbing, a professor in the university’s sports center，stresses that Tai Chi is not only good physical exercise—researchers from the American College of Rheumatology find that it can help manage several diseases, but is also connected to ancient Chinese civilization. Since 2014, the World Tai Chi Championships have been held every two years by the International Wushu Federation.It provides a platform for communicating and learning between the Tai Chi masters and Tai Chi lovers around the globe. In January 2020, Tai Chi became an official event in the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games.

(2021·成都市摸底)

When visitors to the Palace Museum feel a need to sit down for a cup of tea or find a bathroom without a long line, they soon will be able to turn to their smart phones for the information they need.

This modern-day solution comes thanks to an agreement signed on Friday by the museum and Huawei Technologies Co. , the telecommunication giant, to build a “smart network” using 5G technology. Under the agreement, 5G Wi-Fi signals will cover the Palace Museum, China’s imperial palace from 1420 to 1924, and the branch museum of the institution under construction in northwestern Beijing.

“It’s essential to always stay close to the latest technology to better serve the public，” said Shan Jixiang, former curator (馆长) of the Palace Museum. Shan said there is still much room for improvement in the handling of a huge number of cultural relics, such as when the priceless painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival is exhibited again in the future. When it was last exhibited in 2015, visitors stood in long lines until 3 a.m. to get a glimpse. The museum ended up preparing instant noodles to serve the hungry visitors. “I don’t want that scenario to reoccur，” Shan said. “Our operation can be done in a more scientific way.”

The new system will also make use of the closed-circuit television cameras that are set up all over the Palace Museum to safeguard the museum’s precious relics. More than 1.86 million of them are housed at the museum, which recorded nearly 20 million visits from the public last year, topping all museums worldwide. “How can we make sure no single visitor who might have evil ideas threatens these treasures？” Shan said. “After adopting the Internet of things, we can instantly detect any motion involving the artifacts to prevent such threats.”

The 5G network also will be used to improve remote consultation through webcams, which will facilitate conversations with overseas scholars to jointly find the best answers to restoration and preservation issues.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了故宫博物院与华为公司合作，意在应用5G最新技术提升故宫博物院管理水平的相关情况。

5．What do we know about the Palace Museum？__C__

A．Its visitors won’t have to queue up for the bathroom.

B．It served as China’s imperial palace for over 600 years.

C．It will cooperate with Huawei Technologies Co. to promote its management.

D．It will set up advanced television cameras for the purpose of safety.

解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“thanks to an agreement...to build a ’smart network’ using 5G technology”及第三段中的“Shan said there is still much room for improvement in the handling of a huge number of cultural relics”可知故宫博物院与华为公司合作是为了提升其管理水平，故选C。A项曲解了文章第一段的意思，并不是说以后在故宫博物院去洗手间不用排队，原文只是叙述以后游客在故宫博物院可以通过智能手机网络系统给自己带来方便；B项与文中的叙述不符；D项中强调出于安全的考虑，要安装先进的电视摄像机，这与文章第四段中所提及的新的网络系统可以使现有的闭路监控系统更好地发挥作用不符。

6．What does the underlined word “scenario” in Paragraph 3 mean？__B__

A．Disaster.　　　　　　 B．Situation.

C．Operation. 　　 D．Exhibition.

解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句可知，画线词指第三段中的“The museum ended up preparing instant noodles to serve the hungry visitors.”所描述的情况，因此画线词与B项的含义最为接近。故选B。

7．What are the figures in Paragraph 4 intended to show about the Palace Museum？__D__

A. It is better than any other museums.

B．It has a rich collection of cultural relics.

C．It enjoys great popularity all over the world.

D．It faces a tough challenge of protecting relics.

解析：推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“More than 1.86...worldwide.”及“How can we make sure no single visitor who might have evil ideas threatens these treasures？”可知，数字说明了文物保护的艰难。故选D。

8．What can be a suitable title for the text？__D__

A．A Feast for Museum Visitors

B．A Revolution in Exhibition

C．A Protector of Cultural Relics

D．A Connection Between Old and New

解析：标题归纳题。通读文章可知，本文讲述了故宫博物院与华为公司合作，应用5G技术提升故宫博物院管理水平的相关情况，这是有着悠久历史的故宫与先进的技术的结合。故选D。

Ⅱ.七选五

(2021·山东滨州市高三一模)

In many countries, salt is used to remove dangerous ice from roads and walkways in the winter.But when the spring arrives, all that salt can really damage plants in the garden.That is because water is pulled from living cells, like plant roots and the healthy ground soil around them.__1.F__ Or, in the worst cases, plants may simply die.

Rain can help by washing away much of the salt, so that some older plants survive.Salt can also be removed by pouring a large amount of water on the ground where plants are growing.__2.C__

Some other things, of course, can be used in place of sodium chloride (NaCl)．One is the chemical calcium chloride (CaCl2)．It does less damage to plants and melts ice faster than salt.__3.G__ Salt loses some of its effectiveness at temperatures below negative 12 degrees.

Calcium magnesium acetate, also called CMA, has become a popular alternative.It is made by combining limestone, a type of rock, and vinegar.It breaks down naturally so it does not damage plants or soil.It stays on roads and does not hurt cars.__4.B__ It is most effective at around negative 9 Celsius, just like salt.And it is better at stopping ice from forming rather than removing it.So, it is best placed on a road before the temperature gets very cold.

__5.E__ This involves using a combination of materials, such as salt and a bit of sand.If this mixture is used before ice forms, less is needed as the weather gets colder.

A．No method is better than the other.

B．CMA does have problems, however.

C．The best action is to simply use less salt.

D．It proves highly efficient when the sun comes out.

E．The best way to remove ice is through an integrated method.

F．So, spring growth may show up lighter in color than normal.

G．It also works when the temperature is below negative 17 degrees Celsius.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些在冬天清除道路和人行道上的危险冰的方式。

1．通过上文“But when the spring arrives, all that salt can really damage plants in the garden.That is because water is pulled from living cells, like plant roots and the healthy ground soil around them.可知，用盐除冰会损害植物。下文“Or, in the worst cases, plants may simply die.”指出植物有可能由于盐的损害导致死亡。F项“因此，春季生长的颜色可能会比正常情况下更淡。”指出了植物在受损后在春季颜色的变化，且F项中的“spring”与上文一致，符合文意。故选F。

2．上文“Rain can help by washing away much of the salt, so that some older plants survive.Salt can also be removed by pouring a large amount of water on the ground where plants are growing.”指出了一些去除盐分，保护植物的方式，但是这些并不能从根本上保护植物。C项提出了保护植物最好的方式，符合文意。故选C。

3．上文“One is the chemical calcium chloride (CaCl2)．It does less damage to plants and melts ice faster than salt.”说明了氯化钙的优点，设空处承上启下，下文“Salt loses some of its effectiveness at temperatures below negative 12 degrees.”说明盐在温度适合的时候才能发挥功效，与氯化钙形成对比。G项符合文意，且G项中的“It”代指上文的氯化钙，其中的“temperature is below negative”与下文一致。故选G。

4．下文“It is most effective at around negative 9 Celsius, just like salt.And it is better at stopping ice from forming rather than removing it.So, it is best placed on a road before the temperature gets very cold.”说明CMA虽然有效，但是对于温度也有一定要求。B项符合文意，引出下文对CMA使用条件的说明。故选B。

5．下文“This involves using a combination of materials, such as salt and a bit of sand.If this mixture is used before ice forms, less is needed as the weather gets colder.”说明使用混合物除冰是最好的。E项符合文意。故选E。

Ⅲ.语法填空

(2022·广西名校摸底联考)

“There is a long, long story __1.between__ Tai Chi and me，” says Jose Gago, a Spanish man who has taught Tai Chi in his hometown for almost 36 years.

Although the first martial arts school __2.was_founded__(found) in 1982 in Ourense, Spain, Jose did not make the trip to China until 1994 __3.to_further__(further) his study of Tai Chi. Since then，he __4.has_travel(l)ed__(travel) to China over 20 times. For Jose, Tai Chi is not __5.simply__(simple) a sport. __6.What__ attracts him most is the Taoist philosophy rooted in Tai Chi, of which the main elements consist in the principles of “softness, slowness, balance and rootedness”．

His martial arts school, which provides introductory programs for __7.beginners__(begin)，has approximately 150 students, __8.ranging__(range) from children under the age of 5 to senior citizens over 70. He has trained thousands of students in Spain, many of __9.whom__ have won awards in a number of tournaments.

Jose’s hometown has hosted a number of free Tai Chi community classes and Tai Chi is acting as an important bridge for __10.cultural__(culture) exchanges.

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。介绍了从事太极拳教学的西班牙人Jose Gago的事迹。

解析：

1．考查介词。between... and...意为“……和……之间”，符合句意。故填between。

2．考查动词的时态和语态及主谓一致。结合时间状语in 1982可知，此处应该用一般过去时；又因为主语是the first martial arts school，与所给动词的关系为被动关系，且主语为第三人称单数。故填was founded。

3．考查非谓语动词。此句的谓语是did not make，故此空应用非谓语动词形式；因表示目的，故应用不定式，表示他来中国的目的是“进修”。故填to further。

4．考查动词的时态、语态及主谓一致。根据上文的“Since then”和下文的“over 20 times”可知，该句的时态应为现在完成时；该句的主语为he，与travel是主动关系，且为第三人称单数。故填has travel(l)ed。

5．考查副词。分析句子结构可知，此空需用副词作状语。故填simply。

6．考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可知，此处为what引导的主语从句，what在从句中作主语，表示“(最吸引他)的事情是……”。故填What。

7．考查名词和名词单复数。分析句子结构可知，for后面用名词作宾语，表示“初学者”，又因beginner是可数名词，此处表示不止一个初学者。故填beginners。

8．考查非谓语动词。谓语动词是has，故此空应用非谓语动词，又因为range与students之间为逻辑上的主动关系，所以此空应用现在分词形式。故填ranging。

9．考查非限制性定语从句。分析句子结构可知，逗号后面为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词students，所以由many of whom来引导，whom作介词of的宾语，指代students。故填whom。

10．考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，此处应用形容词修饰名词exchanges。故填cultural。
