Unit 1 Cultural relics .阅读理解AIf children arent particularly interested in history,its not their fault.History,while it is potentially an exciting subject,hasnt traditionally been treated as an interesting subject as math and reading.They often give only a glimpse(一瞥) into a historical subject and sometimes that glimpse doesnt even do a good job of putting historical events or customs into context.So its no wonder that children dont often think of history as a subject that excites them and makes them know more.But it doesnt have to be this way.History has the power to come alive as long as its presented to children in the right way.I was reminded of this when I took my daughter and her friend to visit Colonial Williamsburg.Its a living museum,which features hundreds of restored (修复的),reconstructed and historically furnished buildings staffed (配备人员) with costumed interpreters who tell stories of the 18th century city.The two 9-year-old girls I was accompanying around town got to dress up in period clothes,asked whatever questions came to their minds,and left behind the modern life for a day while they discovered that sheep were shorn to create cloth and printing presses had to put the words together letter by letter.Thanks to a guide,they also learned much more about slavery than they had learned from a textbook.As a writer,I have personally described Cobblestone,our American history magazine for kids aged 9 through 14,as a source where history comes alive.Now,I wont claim that a magazine can make a subject come alive like Colonial Williamsburg,but having read some of the articles helps us a lot in gaining some much-needed context for our trip.If you are planning a trip with any sort of historical aspects,from a visit to a national park to a trip to a place like Colonial Williamsburg,Cobblestone could act as your personal guide.Of course,for a complete historical view,be sure to subscribe to Cobblestone,and you will get awesome history all year long.Here are some popular family trips with an historical component and some back (过期的) issues that might help your family get the most out of the experience.1.Children show little interest in history mainly

BC,merchants in the West exchanged silk for gold,horses or precious stones.Up to the frontiers of the Roman Empire,silk became a monetary standard for estimating the value of different products.Hellenistic Greece appreciated the high quality of Chinese silk and made efforts to plant mulberry trees(桑树) and breed silkworms.According to a story by Procopius,it was not until 552 AD that the Byzantine emperor Justinian obtained the first silkworm eggs.He had sent two Nestorian monks to Central Asia,and they were able to smuggle(偷运) silkworm eggs by hiding the eggs in bamboos.The Byzantine church was thus able to make silk for the emperor,with the intention of developing a large silk industry in the Eastern Roman Empire,using techniques learned from the Sassanids(萨珊王朝).But the empire continued to import silk from other major urban centers.The magnificence(精湛) of the Byzantine techniques was not a result of the manufacturing process,but the meticulous(细心的) attention paid to the decorations.The Arabs,with their widening land that had been conquered in war,spread sericulture(养蚕业) across the shores of the Mediterranean.Included in these were Africa,Spain and Sicily,all of which developed an important silk industry.The mutual interactions among Byzantine and Arabian silk-weaving centers of all levels of quality,with imitations made in Andalusia and Lucca,among other cities,had made the identification and date of rare surviving examples difficult to check.While the Chinese lost their control over silk production,they were able to re-establish themselves as major silk supplier(during the Tang dynasty) and industrialize their production in a large scale(during the Song dynasty).China continued to export high-quality silk to Europe and the Near East along the Silk Road.5.Para.1 intends to stress .A.the spread of silk in the WestB.the high quality of Chinese silkC.the popularity of silk in the WestD.the efforts of Greeks to produce silk6.What was the notable feature of Byzantine silk products?A.They were sold to other cities.B.They had beautiful decorations.C.They used high-quality materials.D.They stressed manufacturing process.7.We can conclude from Para.3 that the spread of Arabs land .A.stopped the spread of sericultureB.protected the rare surviving Byzantine silkC.had a negative effect on Byzantine silk industryD.promoted the technological exchange on silk production8.During the Tang dynasty,China mainly served as a .A.silk exporterB.silk clothes makerC.reformer in silk production techniquesD.controller of silk production

came out to France by a man I respected that living abroad would be the making of me.1 Here is my four-step guide to living in a foreign country:1.Integrate(融合) with the culture and the people.It is very easy to go to work and just come straight home but this will lead to periods of huge boredom and loneliness.2 Until recently,I did not believe that a friend made on a year abroad is a friend for life but now I do.2.3 I joined a church in Toulouse and as a result I now have a place to go to practice my faith.If you are a religious person this point could really help you.If you enjoy your exercise,joining a gym is also a good idea.3.Speak the language.Even if you cant speak the local language well,at least make efforts to try and improve.44.Travel.5 More importantly,it gives you memories that allow you to tell others of your experiences.These are four things that allowed me to safely integrate into a totally foreign culture.Trust me,you dont know how young and inexperienced you are until you live abroad for the first time.A.Travelling around the country passes the time.B.I can tell you that his words proved to be true.C.Share with others some of the things you have.D.Get into organizations that help you meet people.E.Good luck to anyone who reads this and goes abroad.F.The best thing to do is to go out and meet people everywhere.G.This helps you become a more fluent speaker and more people will talk to you.导学号23280032.短文改错(2018河南南阳一中第五次检测)Over the past few years,I had taken it for granted that my parents should serve me unconditionally.They take great trouble to bringing me up.However,it seems that I have done nothing in turn.My mother picked up the disease last week.Only then I realize that it was time for me to shoulder some responsibility.If only I continue to be so dependent on my parents,I will get into troubles one day when I have to live my own life.There is nothing wrong for parents to love kids,because it cant be ignored that it is impossible for us to provide protection for ever.So the sooner we become independently,the better it will be.导学号23280033答案：.【解题导语】本文是议论文。在古镇威廉斯堡,每一个角落都隐藏着历史知识。孩子们可以在那里体验和感受活生生的历史。1.A细节理解题。根据文章第一段和第二段中的“History has the power to come alive as long as its presented to children in the right way.”可知,由于历史没有以合适的方式呈现给孩子们,所以他们对历史不感兴趣。2.A细节理解题。根据文章第二段和第三段可知,在古镇威廉斯堡,孩子们可以体验和感受真实的、活生生的历史。3.B细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段.“having read some of the articles helps us a lot in gaining some much-needed context for our trip.”和.“Cobblestone could act as your personal guide.”可知,圆石杂志会在和历史相关的旅程中帮助你。4.B主旨大意题。本文前半部分主要讲在古镇威廉斯堡,每一个角落都隐藏着历史知识。孩子们可以在那里体验和感受活生生的历史;后半部分提到了圆石杂志,告诉读者这个杂志提供了丰富的历史知识,对旅行有很大的帮助。文章主要是围绕如何感受鲜活生动的历史展开的,故B项适合做标题。【解题导语】本文为说明文。主要讲述了中国丝绸传到欧洲一些国家的历史以及丝绸业在这些国家的发展。5.C推理判断题。综合第一段的内容可知,西方国家的商人用丝绸交换黄金、马匹或宝石,在通往罗马帝国的边境上,丝绸成了估计不同产品价值的货币标准,希腊种植桑树和饲养桑蚕;由此可推知,第一段主要是要说明丝绸在西方一些国家的受欢迎程度。6.B推理判断题。由第二段的最后一句可知,拜占庭技术的精湛并不是制造加工的结果,而是极其重视装饰细节的结果;由此可推知,拜占庭丝绸制品的突出特点在于其精美的装饰。7.D推理判断题。由第三段的第三句可知,拜占庭和阿拉伯各种质量的织丝中心彼此影响,这使得极少幸存下来的样品鉴定和日期很难准确描述;由此可推知,阿拉伯征服多地,促进了丝绸业的传播,也加强了丝绸生产的技术交流。8.A细节理解题。由最后一段的第一句可知,中国人虽然失去了丝绸生产的垄断地位,但他们把自己重新建立成为唐朝期间主要的丝绸供应者。.【解题导语】作者针对如何在外国生活这一问题给出了四步指南。1.B根据I
