Last month our class organized a Culture Week on campus, which turned out to be a great success. Students from twelve ethnic groups set up booths in the main hall, each displaying traditional clothing, food and music. A debate was going on in the school about whether AI will eventually replace human teachers, and the organizers decided to hold the discussion right at the event so that students could hear views from different cultural backgrounds.
One booth was run by Aygul, a girl from a minority group in western China. "My hometown is famous for a vast and pristine grassland, which is still unspoiled by modern industry," she told the visitors. "We dance and sing together during the festival, and it is our way of keeping our culture alive."
By the time the Culture Week ended, we had collected more than three hundred feedback cards. The week taught us that diversity makes us richer: cultures being diverse, we can always learn from one another.
What does the underlined word "pristine" in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
- A. Unspoiled and in its original condition.
- B. Crowded and full of tourists.
- C. Dry and poor in natural resources.
- D. Modern and well developed.
答案:A
解析:本题考查根据上下文猜测词义。句中 "pristine" 与 vast 由并列连词 and 连接,共同修饰 grassland,且后文定语从句明确补充 "which is still unspoiled by modern industry"(尚未被现代工业破坏),说明这片草原保持原始、未受污染的状态。B 项 "crowded and full of tourists"(挤满游客)与 "unspoiled" 相反;C 项 "dry and poor in natural resources"(干旱、资源贫乏)与 vast grassland 的语境不符,也无任何线索支持;D 项 "modern and well developed"(现代发达)同样与 "unspoiled by modern industry" 矛盾。易错点:一是脱离语境孤立猜测,只凭单词印象作答;二是忽略同位语/定语从句给出的直接解释线索。故选A。
2选择题
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Every spring, the small town of Greenfield hosts an Ethnic Culture Festival. Villagers from more than ten minority groups bring their traditional clothes, songs and foods to the square. Last year, however, the organizing committee ran into a serious problem: the local wetland, where many rare birds spend the winter, had been damaged by heavy traffic during the festival.
Ms. Li, the committee chair, did not cancel the event. Instead, she invited young volunteers to help design a new plan. Cultures being diverse, the volunteers believed that the festival should be both colorful and eco-friendly. They set up wooden paths so that visitors would not step on the grass, and they used solar lights instead of diesel generators. What is more, they printed the program on recycled paper and asked every booth to sort its waste.
The result was surprising. The wetland was protected, and the number of visitors actually increased by 30 percent. Many tourists said that learning about diverse cultures while walking quietly among the birds made the trip more meaningful. Ms. Li told a local newspaper, "Diversity makes us richer, but only if we take care of the nature that holds us together."
Which of the following best describes the new plan made by the volunteers?
- A. It tried to keep cultural activities and nature protection in balance.
- B. It moved the festival to another town to avoid the rare birds.
- C. It stopped visitors from entering the wetland during the winter.
- D. It asked minority groups to give up their traditional performances.
答案:A
解析:本题考查对段落主旨与方案内容的综合理解。文中提到志愿者搭建木栈道(避免踩踏草地)、使用太阳能灯、用再生纸印刷节目单并分类垃圾,这些都是在保留文化节活动的同时保护湿地,体现文化与生态的平衡。B项“搬到别的城镇”、C项“禁止游客进入湿地”、D项“放弃传统表演”均与原文不符。易错点:只看到“wetland was protected”就误选C,忽略了文中说的是限制踩踏而非禁止进入;也有同学被“minority groups”干扰而误选D。故选A。
3选择题
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Every spring, volunteers from three different communities gather along the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to protect the local environment. Tenzin, a Tibetan herder, spends two weeks picking up plastic bottles left by tourists near the lakes. Li Wei, a university student from Sichuan, helped design a phone app that records the number of wild animals seen each season. Maria, a teacher at a village school, holds weekly classes where children learn about the traditions of nearby ethnic minorities as well as how to keep the grassland clean.
Though their work is different in form, all three share one belief: ordinary people, whatever their cultural background, can do something real for nature. Tenzin says that his grandparents taught him to treat the mountains as living beings, while Li Wei believes that modern technology should serve the land rather than harm it. Maria adds that respect for diverse cultures and respect for the environment go hand in hand.
What is the main idea of the passage?
- A. Plastic pollution is the most serious problem on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
- B. Modern technology plays a leading role in protecting wild animals.
- C. People from diverse backgrounds can contribute to environmental protection in different ways.
- D. Ethnic minorities in China have a long tradition of protecting the grassland.
答案:C
解析:本题考查主旨大意概括,对应“阅读理解·主旨大意概括”考点,并结合 Diverse cultures 情境。
解题思路:文章首段并列介绍了三个人物——藏族牧民 Tenzin 捡塑料瓶、学生李伟开发记录野生动物的 APP、教师 Maria 在学校开展文化与环保课程;第二段用 Though their work is different in form 明确点出共同点:ordinary people, whatever their cultural background, can do something real for nature。第三段进一步强调 respect for diverse cultures and respect for the environment go hand in hand。综合三例的共性,应选能同时涵盖“不同文化背景”和“多种方式参与环保”的选项。
易错点:①以偏概全,A、B、D 都只对应文中某一个人物的细节或某一段的局部信息,属于例子细节代替主旨;②主旨范围过大或过小,如把重点落在塑料污染或藏族传统上;③忽略第二段的总结句和首段的并列结构。故选C。
4选择题
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
When Maya first arrived in the small coastal town, she noticed how many different cultures lived side by side. The fishermen's market sold spices from North Africa, and the community center offered classes in traditional dances from Southeast Asia. However, a new hotel project threatened to replace the old neighborhood where most of these families lived. Maya joined a campaign to protect the area, and the hotel finally agreed to keep the cultural center and build around it. "Diversity is not something we can rebuild once it is gone," she said at the meeting.
What is the main idea of the passage?
- A. A new hotel project brought more tourists to a coastal town.
- B. A diverse community worked to protect its cultural heritage from development.
- C. Maya learned to cook North African dishes at a local market.
- D. Traditional dances in Southeast Asia are becoming more popular worldwide.
答案:B
解析:本文主旨题。短文先介绍小镇多元文化共存的景象(不同民族的香料、舞蹈),随后讲新酒店项目威胁到这些家庭所在的街区,Maya 参与保护行动并最终保住了文化中心,末句点明主旨:多样性一旦消失就无法重建。A 项只提到酒店项目,未涉及保护文化遗产这一核心;C 项只是细节且文中未提及 Maya 学做菜;D 项把范围扩大到全世界,属于过度推断。B 项准确概括了“多元社区努力保护自身文化遗产免受开发冲击”这一中心。故选B。
5填空题
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内所给词的正确形式。
The world is full of diverse cultures, and diversity makes us all richer. Last summer, I joined a volunteer program in a mountain village where an ethnic minority group has lived for centuries. Every one of the villagers ___(be) proud of their traditions, and their colorful festivals attract visitors from far away. ___(culture) exchange being a two-way street, we taught the children English while they taught us how to weave bamboo baskets. Time ___(permit), we will return next year to explore more local customs. The experience had a great impact ___ me, and I have realized that protecting cultural heritage is just as important as protecting the natural environment.
答案:1. is 2. Cultural 3. permitting 4. on
解析:第一空考查主谓一致:主语核心词 Every one 为单数概念,后面的 of the villagers 是后置定语,容易干扰判断,故用 is 而非 are。第二空考查词性转换:名词 culture 作定语修饰 exchange,需用形容词形式 Cultural(首字母大写是因为位于句首)。第三空考查独立主格结构:名词/代词 + 分词作状语,Time 与 permit 之间是主动关系,用现在分词 permitting,即 Time permitting, we will return next year(时间允许的话,我们明年会再来),不能填 permits,否则与后句无连词连接造成句子结构错误。第四空考查固定介词搭配 have an impact on(对……有影响),易错点是受中文思维影响填 to 或 in。
6解答题
根据括号内所给词的适当形式或句意,用独立主格结构、名词性从句、非限制性定语从句及动词时态的正确形式填空,使句子完整、通顺。
1. A discussion is going on in our school about __________ (or not) students should be allowed to bring their own food to the Culture Week booths.
2. By the time the new nature reserve __________ (open) to the public next year, the local government __________ (build) over 200 kilometres of green paths.
3. The volunteers planted more than 5,000 trees along the river, __________ makes the whole village proud.
4. __________ (time) permitting, we will visit the ethnic museum this Saturday afternoon.
5. 改写句子(把定语从句简化为过去分词作定语):The wetland which was protected by the villagers last year is now home to hundreds of birds. → The wetland ____________________ by the villagers last year is now home to hundreds of birds.
6. 用独立主格结构(名词 + 分词)造一个句子,表达"天气允许的话,我们明天去湖边观鸟"的意思。
答案:1. whether(whether or not 引导同位语从句,说明 discussion 的内容,表示"是否";介词 about 后不能用 that 引导宾语从句,且此处从句句意完整、不缺成分。)
2. opens; will have built(by the time 引导时间状语从句,从句用一般现在时 opens 表将来;主句表示"到那时为止已经完成",用将来完成时 will have built。)
3. which(非限制性定语从句,逗号后不能用 that,which 指代前面整个主句"志愿者沿河种了5000多棵树"这件事,在从句中作主语。)
4. Time(独立主格结构 "Time permitting",Time 是逻辑主语,permitting 是现在分词,整体作条件状语,相当于 If time permits。注意逻辑主语必须与句子主语 we 不同。)
5. protected(把 which was protected 简化为过去分词短语 protected by the villagers last year 作后置定语,表示被动和完成。)
6. Weather permitting, we will go birdwatching by the lake tomorrow.(参考答案,也可写 The weather permitting, ...;Weather 为逻辑主语,permitting 为现在分词,整体作条件状语,主句主语为 we,逻辑主语与主句主语不同,符合独立主格要求。)
解析:本题综合考查本册重点:独立主格、名词性从句、非限制性定语从句、动词时态及长难句简化。
1. 易错点:误填 that。注意介词 about 后接宾语从句表示"是否"时只能用 whether(whether or not 为固定搭配),且 that 引导宾语从句时不表示"是否"。此外要判断从句句意完整、不缺成分。
2. 易错点:by the time 从句误用一般将来时 will open,或主句误用现在完成时 have built。规则:by the time + 一般现在时(表将来),主句用将来完成时 will have done,表示"到将来某一时刻为止已完成"。
3. 易错点:误用 that(非限制性定语从句不能用 that),或误用 what。逗号后补充说明整件事用 which。
4. 易错点:写成 Time permitted(应为现在分词,表主动、"时间允许");或逻辑主语与主句主语相同(那样应直接用分词短语,不用独立主格)。独立主格必须"名词/代词 + 分词",且逻辑主语与句子主语不同。
5. 易错点:写成 protecting(主动)或漏掉 by the villagers。定语从句主语 which 指代 wetland,与 protect 是被动关系,故用过去分词 protected。
6. 易错点:一是逻辑主语错误,写成 "We permitting, ...";二是主从句主语重复或混乱;三是分词形式错误(写成 permitted)。标准结构:名词 + 现在分词(主动)/过去分词(被动)+ 逗号 + 主句。如 "Weather permitting, we will go birdwatching by the lake tomorrow."
7解答题
根据短文内容,用括号内所给词的适当形式填空,并将独立主格结构改写为状语从句。
Last term our class visited a mountain village where several ethnic minorities live side by side. So far, more than one traditional wooden house __________ (restore) by the local government to protect the village's diverse cultural heritage. The villagers were proud of their customs and taught us how to make cloth from plants.
After the visit, our teacher asked us to write a short report. Time __________ (permit), we would interview more villagers and record their folk songs. Our monitor suggested, "Cultures being diverse, we should learn from each other."
任务:
1. 用括号内所给词的适当形式填空(共2空)。
2. 将 "Time permitting, we would interview more villagers and record their folk songs." 改写为一个含有条件状语从句的句子。
3. 指出 "Cultures being diverse, we should learn from each other." 中独立主格结构的逻辑主语,并说明该句中独立主格作什么成分。
答案:1. (1) has been restored;(2) permitting。
2. If time permitted / If time permits, we would interview more villagers and record their folk songs.
3. 逻辑主语是 Cultures(名词),与 permit/being 构成 "Cultures being diverse",整个独立主格结构在句中作原因状语(或条件状语),相当于 Because cultures are diverse / If cultures are diverse。完整答案可写:The absolute construction is "Cultures being diverse", whose logical subject is "cultures"; it serves as an adverbial of reason (or condition) in the sentence.
解析:第1空:时间状语 So far 提示用现在完成时;主语 more than one traditional wooden house 是 "more than one + 单数名词",谓语用单数;house 与 restore 为被动关系,故填 has been restored。易错点:误写成 have been restored(主谓一致错误)或 has restored(语态错误),或误用一般过去时 restored。第2空:Time 与 permit 是逻辑上的主谓关系(时间允许),用现在分词构成独立主格 Time permitting,相当于 If time permits。易错点:误填 permitted(变成过去分词表示被动,逻辑关系错误)。第3问:独立主格结构的逻辑主语必须是其前面的名词 Cultures,不能误认为是主句主语 we;该结构在句中作状语,说明原因或条件。易错点:把独立主格的逻辑主语错认成 we,或误答作定语、宾语。
8解答题
根据短文内容和括号内所给词的适当形式填空,并翻译画线部分结构。
The world is full of diverse cultures, and diversity makes us richer. Last term our school held a Cultural Diversity Week. ________ (culture) backgrounds being different, the students worked together to prepare a show. One group performed an ethnic dance from a minority village in Yunnan, ________ (attract) over 300 visitors. The book ________ (write) by our history teacher about local minority customs became popular at once. Time ________ (permit), we will invite more ethnic artists next year.
1. 在第一空填入括号内所给词的适当形式,构成独立主格结构作状语。
2. 在第二空填入括号内所给词的适当形式。
3. 在第三空填入括号内所给词的适当形式,改写定语从句。
4. 在第四空填入括号内所给词的适当形式,构成独立主格结构。
5. 用独立主格结构(名词/代词 + 分词)造一个英文句子,主题与保护自然或尊重文化多样性有关。
答案:1. Cultural (Cultural backgrounds being different, ...) — 独立主格:名词 + 现在分词 being,逻辑主语是 Cultural backgrounds。
2. attracting (..., attracting over 300 visitors) — 现在分词作结果状语,逻辑主语是前面整个事件/One group。
3. written (The book written by our history teacher ...) — 过去分词作后置定语,相当于 that/which was written by ...。
4. permitting (Time permitting, ...) — 独立主格:名词 + 现在分词,表示“如果时间允许”。
5. 示例:Forests being protected, wildlife can live safely in their natural habitats.(也可写:Cultures being diverse, we should learn from each other.)
解析:本题综合考查独立主格结构、分词作定语/状语,对应课本“名词 + 分词构成独立主格,作状语,有自己的逻辑主语”这一重点。
1. 独立主格中,若名词与所给动词是主动关系,用现在分词;backgrounds 与 be 是主动,故用 being,前面的形容词用 Cultural 修饰 backgrounds。
2. attract 的逻辑主语是前面整件事,主动关系用 attracting,作结果状语。
3. book 与 write 是被动关系,用过去分词 written 作后置定语,这是课本例句 The book written by him is popular 的直接应用。
4. Time permitting 是课本变式一原形的再应用,注意 permit 双写 t 加 -ing。
易错点:①独立主格逻辑主语与主句主语不一致时才用独立主格,若两处主语相同应改用分词短语,学生常混用;②主动/被动判断错误,把 written 写成 writing;③把 Cultural 写成 Culture(名词作定语须用形容词形式);④造句时漏掉逻辑主语,直接写成 Protecting forests, ...,那样逻辑主语就成了主句主语,结构不成立。
