Unit 3 Back to the past能力提升题组训练(B).阅读理解A(2018扬州大市高三二模)Walls and wall building have played a very important role in Chinese culture.In ancient times,not only towns and villages,but also the houses and the temples were surrounded with walls.Also,the houses had no windows overlooking the street.Thus, walking in a city would give the feeling of wandering around a huge maze (迷宫).The word “city” in Chinese also means “wall”.The god of walls and mounts,whose duty was,and still is,to protect and be responsible for the welfare of the residents in these cities,villages,houses and temples.So a great and extremely hard task such as constructing a wall,which was supposed to run the length of the country,might not sound absurd(荒诞的).However,it is indeed a common mistake to think of the Great Wall as a single building structure,and it would also be a mistake to assume that it was built during a single dynasty.Actually,several dynasties somehow contributed to the construction of the Great Wall,the foundations of which had been laid many centuries ago.It was during the fourth and third centuries BC that Warring States started building walls to protect their kingdoms,both against one another and against the northern nomads (游牧民族).The Great Wall played an important role in the growth of Chinese economy in history.Many settlements were established along the new border.Armies were instructed to reclaim (开垦) wasteland and to plant crops there.Also,roads and canals were built.All of the work greatly helped increase the countrys trade and cultural exchanges with many remote areas and also with the southern,central and western parts of Asia.1.According to the passage,constructing a wall running the length of the country .A.was an order from the god of walls and mountsB.was a completely absurd taskC.might make sense within Chinese cultureD.seriously prevented the spread of Chinese culture2.The second paragraph is mainly about .A.how the Great Wall was constructedB.why the Great Wall is so popularC.how advanced the Great Wall wasD.who should pay a visit to the Great Wall3.We can learn from the last paragraph that .A.most ancient people dont like the Great WallB.the Great Wall promoted trade in China and abroad C.the Great Wall was most famous in the western part of AsiaD.people nowadays should protect the Great Wall for its use in trade语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,介绍了城墙在中国文化中的重要性及长城的建造及其在中国历史上对经济文化的促进。答案及剖析:1.C推理判断题。由第一段尤其是最后一句So a great and extremely hard task such as constructing a wall,which was supposed to run the length of the country,might not sound absurd(荒诞的)可知选C。2.A段落大意题。根据“it would also be a mistake to assume that it was built during a single dynasty.Actually,several dynasties somehow contributed to the construction of the Great Wall,the foundations of which had been laid many centuries ago.”可知,第二段主要讲述了长城是怎样建成的。故选A。3.B细节理解题。根据“The Great Wall played an important role in the growth of Chinese economy in history.”和“All of the work greatly helped increase the countrys trade and cultural exchanges with many remote areas and also with the southern,central and western parts of Asia.”可知长城在中国历史上对经济的发展有着非常重要的作用,促进了中国与其他国家的贸易和文化交流。故选B。BMore students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年)before going to university.It used to be called the “year off”between school and university.The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year,25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year,according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service(UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year.Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education.“Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with,and complete,their chosen course.Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,”he said.But not everyone is happy.Owain James,the president of the National Union of Students(NUS),argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship-young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education.“New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to 15,000 in debt.It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree.NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods,”he said.4.What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A.It is flexible in length.
