课时跟踪练15 Unit 5 Canada—“The True North”‎ Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Many Westerners have the idea that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu.This is, of course, a silly belief．But it is true that kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.‎ Like most people from the West, I was first introduced to kung fu through Hong Kong action films.Stars like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan made kung fu popular in the Western world.The flashy and impressive performances they gave in films like Rumble in the Bronx and Enter the Dragon made them household names in the US and elsewhere.‎ However, my own personal interest in kung fu was actually inspired by a hip hop group.WnTang Clan, founded in the early 1990s in New York City, is one of the most influential hip hop groups in history.‎ In their songs, they sometimes mention philosophical concepts that come from Wudang Quan—a classic Chinese martial art from which they take their name—and Shaolin Temple.I was just a teenager when I first started listening to WuTang Clan—little did I know that I would actually end up living in China later in my life!‎ I myself do not practise kung fu.However, the concepts behind it are quite interesting to me.There is a Bruce Lee quote that I often think of when I'm struggling with challenges in life.“Be formless, shapeless, like water，” he once said.By this, he meant that you should be ready to adapt to and change your attitudes or beliefs when you face difficulties.I think this is a good way to deal with life.‎ ‎1．What does “a silly belief” in Paragraph 1 refer to?‎ A．All Chinese people can do kung fu.‎ B．China is most famous for its kung fu.‎ C．Kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.‎ D．Many Westerners admire kung fu.‎ ‎2．What inspired the author's interest in kung fu?‎ A．Hong Kong action movies.‎ B．A TV programme about kung fu.‎ C．Kung fu stars in Hollywood.‎ D．A US hip hop group.‎ - 9 -‎ ‎3．What do we know about the WuTang Clan?‎ A．They have Chinese culture in their songs.‎ B．They taught the author how to do Wudang Quan.‎ C．They performed Chinese martial arts in the US.‎ D．They showed the author the way to live in China.‎ ‎4．What can we learn from the last paragraph?‎ A．The author was sorry that he couldn't do kung fu.‎ B．The concepts of kung fu change over time.‎ C．The spirit of kung fu helps the author overcome difficulties.‎ D．Bruce Lee was the most popular martial arts master.‎ ‎【语篇解读】　中国功夫对西方人有很大的影响。本文作者受一支嘻哈乐队的影响，对中国功夫产生了浓厚的兴趣，而中国功夫背后蕴含的一些观念帮助作者战胜了生活中的很多困难。‎ ‎1．解析：词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“Many Westerners have the idea that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu.This is，of course，a silly belief.”可知，This指代西方人认为中国人都知道如何练功夫这一想法，由此可知，这个荒唐的想法就是：所有中国人都会功夫。故选A项。‎ 答案：A ‎2．解析：细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，作者对于中国功夫的兴趣其实是由一支嘻哈乐队激发的，这个乐队的名字叫作“武当派”。故选D项。‎ 答案：D ‎3．解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的第一句可知，在武当派的歌曲中，有时会提到一些武当拳和少林寺中的哲学观念，武当拳是中国的一种武术，也是乐队名字的由来。因此他们的歌曲会体现中国文化。故选A项。‎ 答案：A ‎4．解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，作者对于中国功夫背后的一些观念有很大的兴趣，并在其中学会了一些道理。李小龙的一句名言告诉作者，在面对困难的时候，要通过改变自身的态度和信念去不断适应从而战胜困难。故选C项。‎ 答案：C B Tourism is often about seeking deeper emotional and personal connections with the world around us.Not all travel experiences, however, need to take place in the real world.With the evolution of virtual reality (VR) technology，tourism will increasingly become a combination of physical and virtual worlds.VR may even remove - 9 -‎ ‎ the need to travel entirely.‎ But can a VR experience really equal a real world one? Many experts believe it can.Studies have shown that our brains have an inbuilt VRlike mechanism that enables us to live imagined experiences.Much of our waking life is spent thinking about either the past or the future.This is known as “mind wandering”．During these events we're not paying attention to the current world around us.Instead, we're recalling memories, or creating and processing imagined futures.‎ When engaged in mind wandering, our brains process these mental images using the same pathways used to receive inputs from the real world.So, the imagined past or future can create emotions and feelings similar to how we react to everyday life.VR can create these same feelings.‎ While critics might argue that a virtual experience will never match reality, there are several ways VR tourism could make a positive contribution.Firstly it could help protect sensitive locations from overtourism.In recent years famous sites such as Maya Bay in Thailand, and Cambodia's Angkor Wat have had to limit the number of visitors because of their negative impacts.These places are now producing their own VR experiences that will allow tourists to pass through virtual models of the sites.‎ Virtual reality may also allow people back in time, to experience historical events, to visit ancient cities, and even to walk among dinosaurs.‎ Finally, in a world where many people suffer from stress and depression due to overwork, virtual tourism may provide a cheap and convenient way for people to take brief holidays to otherwise unreachable destinations and recharge their batteries, without ever leaving their homes.‎ It sounds like science fiction but it's already happening.As virtual technology improves and as people continue to demand new and interesting experiences, expect more virtual tourism, both in combination with the real world and instead of it．‎ ‎5．What is driving the development of virtual tourism?‎ A．Companies seeking to make more money.‎ B．Improvements in virtual reality technology.‎ C．People's demand for more shared experiences.‎ D．People's deeper understanding of the physical world.‎ ‎6．Which of the following best describes “mind wandering”？‎ A．The brain processes which help people think VR is real.‎ B．The way the brain processes inputs from the real world.‎ - 9 -‎ C．Brain activities focusing on past or future events.‎ D．Experiences coming from a person's imagination.‎ ‎7．What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?‎ A．Science fiction.　　 B．Virtual technology.‎ C．Virtual tourism. D．The real world.‎ ‎8．What is the purpose of the passage?‎ A．To describe the advantages of VR tourism.‎ B．To give suggestions for reducing overtourism.‎ C．To encourage people to develop VR technology.‎ D．To argue that VR tourism will replace the real world travel.‎ ‎【语篇解读】　随着虚拟现实技术的发展，虚拟旅行不再遥不可及，文章从虚拟旅行的体验感、对文物的保护以及费用等几个方面围绕虚拟旅行的优势进行了论证。‎ ‎5．解析：细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句“With the evolution of virtual reality (VR) technology，tourism will increasingly become a combination of physical and virtual worlds.VR may even remove the need to travel entirely.”可知，随着虚拟现实技术的发展，旅游业将会把现实和虚拟世界结合起来。也就是说，虚拟现实技术的发展拉动了虚拟旅游的发展。故选B项。‎ 答案：B ‎6．解析：推理判断题。根据题干中的“mind wandering”可定位到文章第二段中的“Much of our waking life is spent thinking about either the past or the future.This is known as ‘mind wandering’．”可知，“思维漫游”指的就是人们关注过去和未来的事件时大脑的活动。故选C项。‎ 答案：C ‎7．解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句中的both...and...可知，in combination with the real world和instead of...为并列成分，由此推知it应指the real world。故选D项。‎ 答案：D ‎8．解析：推理判断题。通读文章内容可知，随着虚拟现实技术的发展，虚拟旅行不再遥不可及，文章从虚拟旅行的体验感、对文物的保护以及费用等几个方面围绕虚拟旅行的优势进行了论证。故选A项。‎ 答案：A Ⅱ.完形填空 I believe that life's toughest lessons are best learned through personal experience.Throughout my childhood, my grandmother 1 me with unconditional love but always stressed, “You're not 2 than anyone else.but you're just as good as ‎ - 9 -‎ anyone.Treat others with 3 ， and you would earn respect 4 .”‎ However, I never really 5 it until I was seventeen and got a summer job as a janitor.As I 6 floors and toilets, I watched people walk right by me and ignore my 7 .This made me feel angry and wonder why they treated me so poorly.‎ When I 8 to my grandmother, she offered me some words of 9 and reminded me never to forget the feeling of being “ 10 ” and to do the best job, because it was still my work, in which I should take 11 .She added that it would make me a better man someday.‎ Make me a better man someday?
