Unit 1 单元主题语篇训练Ⅰ.阅读理解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 (哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks (缺点) 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.语篇解读：本文阐述了西方学生学习中国文化的现象，并告诉我们中国古代伟大的思想家——孔子的思想仍然受到世界人们的追捧。1．The opening paragraph is mainly intended to         .A．provide some key facts about ConfuciusB．attract the readers' interest in the subjectC．show great respect for the ancient thinkerD．prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations解析：选B　写作意图题。第一段说如果孔子仍然活着并能庆祝生日的话，将会有很多的蜡烛，他需要很大的风才能吹灭，是为了吸引读者的兴趣，让读者继续读下去。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：选A　推理判断题。根据第四段第一句和第六句中的“are racing to learn Chinese”可知，美国学生对中国文化很感兴趣。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：选D　标题归纳题。本文主要向我们介绍了孔子的思想对西方的影响，以及将来可能产生的影响。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 (集体) called ‘Humanity’，” Ken Liu, Chinese­American sci­fi 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 “limits”．语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。多年来，人类对于宇宙的探索从未停止。随着嫦娥4号登上月球的背面，我们对月球的探索又进入了一个新的阶段。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：选C　细节理解题。由题干中的discovery of the CHIME scientists可定位到原文第三段。根据该段最后一句中的“detected repeated radio signals from a galaxy”可知，CHIME探测到了一个来自15亿光年外的星系的无线电信号。故选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：选B　细节理解题。由题干中的Ken Liu可定位到原文倒数第三段。根据该段中的“You're now just ‘Humanity’ with a capital ‘H’．”可知，Ken Liu告诉我们，在太空中，没有国籍，我们都是一个集体——人类。故选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：选A　推理判断题。由第六段第一句“This magic has worked all the way along our journey into space.”及接下来该段围绕这个话题进一步的举例说明可以推断出，该段是在继续证明作者的观点。故选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：选C　主旨大意题。本文是围绕宇宙探索这个话题展开的。而且，文章还提到，宇宙探索是人类共同的事业，在这里不分国籍、文化。故选C。Ⅱ.短文改错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 Opera­themed 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.书面表达假定你是李华，你的美国朋友Jack来信询问“嫦娥四号”探测器(Chang'e 4 probe)名称的由来。请你给他回一封信，内容包括：1．“嫦娥四号”登月成功；2．嫦娥的传说；3．中国人的登月梦。注意：1.词数100左右；2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　                                        　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　                                                　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　                                      　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　                                        　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　                                     　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　                                    　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　                                      　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　                                     　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　                                    　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　                                      参考范文：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
