课时跟踪练6 Unit 1 Cultural relics Ⅰ.阅读理解 A When my grandmother died at the age of 96, there were two things she left behind in abundance—nearly 100 photo albums documenting decades of travel and home life，and a dozen quilts，one of which my mother gave me.‎ Quilting is the process of sewing together fabric(布料)to make one large piece of fabric.In my family, quilting and sewing is a tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation.My mother says her greatgrandmother would occasionally travel around New York State to sew clothing for other families.‎ In the United States, quilting was a craft(手艺)that started as a necessity and eventually became much more.In 1862, the US government offered millions of acres of land to Americans who wanted to move west.This allowed families to settle on land that they could eventually own.They often built their own homes and lived off the vegetables in their gardens and the livestock they had.Sewing was very important for women because they were responsible for clothing their families and keeping them warm.‎ Quilting also became a chance for women to socialize with each other.They would gather for socalled “quilting bees”， where they would meet up and work on one quilting project together.This provided a muchneeded relief from the lonely life of living on a large piece of land.‎ Throughout history, the different patterns of American quilts have conveyed all kinds of information.From them, we can tell where a person lived, what region of the world they originated from, or sometimes a story is told in pictures on a quilt.‎ Even today，women still gather to quilt together as a show of friendship and a love for the craft，just like the old days.My sister has tried quilting a few times, and hopefully, her two daughters may one day continue this family tradition.‎ ‎1．What do we know about quilting?‎ A．It is a lost traditional craft.‎ B．It is a major means of making a living in the USA.‎ C．It is a craft that has become a cultural symbol.‎ D．It was a way to carry on the American history.‎ ‎2．What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 4 refer to?‎ - 9 -‎ A．Working on the land.‎ B．Participating in “quilting bees”．‎ C．Designing a quilting project.‎ D．Clothing the family.‎ ‎3．What is the author's purpose in writing the text?‎ A．To instruct how to sew fabric together.‎ B．To show the author's skills of quilting.‎ C．To talk about the struggle of women.‎ D．To appeal for the preservation of quilting.‎ ‎【语篇解读】　本文主要介绍了作者家族的一个传统手艺“缝被子”及其历史意义和相关背景知识，并期望这个传统手艺能代代相传。‎ ‎1．解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“In the United States, quilting was a craft that started as a necessity and eventually became much more.”可知，缝被子起初是一门生活必需的手艺，最后却承载了更多的意义。再结合文章最后两段的内容可知，它已经是一种具有文化象征意义的手艺。故选C项。‎ 答案：C ‎2．解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“They would gather for socalled ‘quilting bees’，where they would meet up and work on one quilting project together.”可知，下一句的This指的是上文的gather for socalled “quilting bees”，与B选项的语义相近。故选B项。‎ 答案：B ‎3．解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段，尤其是最后一句“My sister has tried quilting a few times，and hopefully，her two daughters may one day continue this family tradition.”可知，作者写本文是希望下一代能传承“缝被子”这个传统，再结合选项可推知，作者是为了呼吁人们保护这一传统。故选D项。‎ 答案：D B Try to picture lifesize terracotta sculptures by your side as you eat, sleep and use the bathroom.A hotel in Xi'an that offers this fully immersive experience has become popular among both Chinese and foreign guests.‎ Three Airbnbstyle themed suites, ranging from 80 to 100 square metres in downtown Xi'an, home to the Terracotta Army, are owned by Guo Zhihua, a 53yearold Xi'an resident.A taxi driver in the 1990s, Guo spent most of his life driving tourists to see the soldiers at the Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum.‎ - 9 -‎ ‎“Many of my colleagues parked their cars, smoked and chatted with each other.But I preferred to go to the pits(坑)with my passengers to tell them stories about the soldiers—like a tour guide. Over the years, I have grown to like the soldiers very much，” he said.‎ Guo placed more than 200 soldier replicas in the three hotel rooms, which he named Pit 1, Pit 2 and Pit 3.The sculptures are under the beds, the wash basins, in front of toilet seats and in the walls.Tiles and pillowcases also carry images of the sternfaced soldiers.“As the bed light shines through a specially coated cover, images of soldier formations multiply so that guests can feel like an emperor reviewing his troops，”Guo said.‎ Guo's rooms, which cost ￥ 100 to ￥ 200 a night, have drawn thousands of visitors from 30 countries and regions since the hotel opened in 2008，when Beijing hosted the Summer Olympics.“I was banking on the growing interest in Chinese history，” Guo said.The hotels are fully booked until May.“One day, I received 400 reservations in two hours.”‎ Despite the hotel's rising popularity, some discount it as a cheesy replica and say it's horrifying to sleep in a tomb.One guest complained in a viral video that he could not sleep the whole night with soldiers staring at him.‎ Guo is not disturbed.“I'd like to offer more historythemed hotels with Han and Tang dynasty decorations so overseas tourists can truly experience Chinese history and then back home, tourists can carry on the Chinese culture，” he said.‎ ‎4．What is the main reason for Guo Zhihua's opening the theme hotel in Xi'an?‎ A．Xi'an is home to the Terracotta Army.‎ B．He is obsessed with the Terracotta Army.‎ C．Lifesize terracotta sculptures are eyecatching.‎ D．He wants to impress foreigners with Chinese culture.‎ ‎5．What do we know about the hotel?‎ A．200 soldiers have been put in the hotel rooms.‎ B．The sculptures can be seen even in the bathroom.‎ C．Guests can review their troops before going to sleep.‎ D．The hotel receives 400 reservations on a daily basis.‎ ‎6．What can we infer from the passage?‎ A．Guo used to work as a tour guide in the museum.‎ B．The hotel has drawn thousands of visitors since it was opened in 2008.‎ - 9 -‎ C．Not all people are willing to spend a night in these themed suites.‎ D．He will open a second Terracotta Army hotel in no time.‎ ‎7．What could be the best title for the passage?‎ A．Terracotta Sculptures Never Fail to Fascinate Foreigners B．The First Terracotta Army Hotel in Xi'an C．Guo's Successful Career in Xi'an D．Sleep Like an Emperor With Soldiers Around ‎【语篇解读】　本文介绍了西安一家独具特色的酒店，它的创始人郭志华在布置酒店房间时以兵马俑为主题，希望通过这样的酒店让游客感受到中华民族博大精深的历史文化。‎ ‎4．解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“‘I'd like to offer...so overseas tourists can truly experience...Chinese culture，’he said.”可知，郭志华创办这家特色酒店是为了让外国游客感受中国的历史与文化。因此，D项“他希望用中国文化给外国游客留下深刻印象”符合题意。‎ 答案：D ‎5．解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The sculptures are under the beds，the wash basins，in front of toilet seats and in the walls.”可知，在床底下、洗脸盆下、卫生间的马桶前以及墙壁上都可以看到雕塑。故选B项。‎ 答案：B ‎6．解析：推理判断题。根据第六段中的“it's horrifying to sleep in a tomb”和“One guest complained in a viral video that he could not sleep the whole night with soldiers staring at him.”可知，有些人觉得在坟墓里睡觉很恐怖，有客人曾在视频中抱怨称士兵们盯着他导致他整夜都无法入睡。由此可推知，不是所有的人都愿意在这样的主题房间内睡一晚。故选C项。‎ 答案：C ‎7．解析：主旨大意题。综观全文可知，文章主要向我们介绍了西安的一家以陕西著名的兵马俑为主题的酒店，在该酒店房间中，每一处的装饰都能让客人感受到兵马俑雕塑的存在，房间各处都很好地展示出酒店特色，即使游客在休息，也能感受到中国的历史文化的氛围。故选D项。‎ 答案：D Ⅱ.完形填空 One can never find his/her potential until he/she has a try.When I retired five years ago, I started running.I was not a natural 1 ．I wanted to lose weight and it seemed that running was a 2 way.At first it was very 3 —I was mainly walking more than running when I started—but I didn't 4 ．‎ -
