Unit 4 Helping people around the world一、阅读理解。

Beijing’s Forbidden City is a place full of wonder. From its thousands of rooms to its many beautiful artifacts, there’s no wonder it’s one of China’s most popular tourist destinations.But even more than 600 years after it was built, it’s still managing to serve up surprises. Since it was built during the Ming Dynasty, it’s estimated that the Forbidden City has survived more than 200 earthquakes. And while most structures aren’t made to survive natural disas ters, let alone ones built hundreds of years ago, it seems that the Forbidden City was built to withstand anything.A recent television documentary by UK broadcaster Channel 4 explored the skills of the ancient building’s designers. A group of Chinese car penters and engineers were shown building a scale model (成比例模型) of one of the Forbidden City’s palaces, at one fifth of the size.To show how strong ancient Chinese architecture really is, the model was put to the test. It was subjected to a simulated (模拟的) earthquake of 9.5 on the Richter scale – equivalent to the largest ever recorded quake – and survived. Instead of falling apart, the model was just moved gently during the test.According to experts, the answer to the Forbidden City’s strength, as well as other ancient Chinese structures’, lies in dougong– a centuries-old building method invented in China. This is the name for special brackets on buildings. Despite being held together without any nails or glue, the brackets are perfect at keeping structures together when the weather gets rough.“Dougong design is an important earthquake-resistant feature of classical Chinese structures because the framework changes in shape when under pressure, much like the shock absorbers (减震器) of a car,” according to Chinese National Geography. “Ancient Chinese craftsmen created structures that were both enduring and aesthetically (在美学方面) pleasing using dougong, revealing their advanced understanding of mathematics, architecture, materials, and structural science.” The Forbidden City draws visitors because of its rich history and culturalsignificance, but perhaps it should add one more thing to its list of attractions: earthquake shelter.1. What is the article mainly about?A.What has made the Forbidden City a popular tourist destination.B.What has helped the Forbidden City survive so many earthquakes.C.The characteristics of Chinese architecture during the Ming Dynasty.D.A variety of building methods used in ancient Chinese structures.2. Which of the follow ing can best replace the underlined phrase “was subjected to” in Paragraph 4?A. sufferedB. was controlled byC. obeyedD. was affected by3. What was the aim of the test in the UK documentary?A. To reproduce a real earthquake from the Ming Dynasty.B. To discover a long-lost Chinese building methodC. To explain the impact of earthquakes on ancient buildings.D. To prove the strength of ancient Chinese architecture.4. What is “dougong” according to the text?A. A paint that gives Chinese buildings an attractive look.B. A tool used by ancient people to measure earth-quakes.C. Special building parts that keep a traditional Chinese building together,D. A building piece located in the center of a traditional Chinese house.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了紫禁城的斗拱设计帮助它能够在多次地震中幸存。

Unit 4 Helping people around the world课时练1 阅读理解提速练[学生用书P323(单独成册)]Ⅰ阅读理解A(2019·石家庄模拟)Few people are aware that Waterloo Bridge, crossed by thousands of daily commuters(通勤者) and celebrated as a London landmark, was mainly built by a female workforce.There are no written or photographic records of the women who built the bridge since the construction company that built it closed in the 1980s and with it went all the records. What’s left is anecdotal evidence, kept alive by the tourist boat captains who have called it the Ladies’ Bridge.During the Second World War, with the majority of the active male labor force away at the front, women increasingly took on traditionally male roles. By 1944, 25，000 women were working in the construction industry, carrying out back­breaking tasks. These women were permitted to carry out this exhausting and dangerous work on the basis that it would only be temporary and that their pay would be lower than that of men. So the trend in women working in construction and engineering did not continue after the war.September sees a series of events celebrating the unknown work of the large female workforce. Music ian Claudia Molitor has created a 45­minute musical entitled “the Singing Bridge”， which runs at Somerset House from 9 to 25 September. In late September, the “Light up the Ladies’ Bridge” event sees the National Theatre’s fly tower lit up by large scale photographic projections(投影) of female construction workers working in constructio n during World War Ⅱ.Let’s all celebrate the women who have helped to build the cities in which we live.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

With autumn on the horizon, the season's first Oscar competitors are here・ Already, the Hollywood Reporter has predicted that the oftemsnubbed（冷落的）Leonardo DiCaprio could win. Although before we get swept up in predictions, it's nice to remember that little gold men are not the reason we love the movies. They shouldn't be the primary reason for acting in them eithe匚Bill Murray knows this first hand. Murray was positioned to win his first-ever Oscar Academy Award for 2004's "Lost in Translation^, but he lost it to Sean Penn. Years later, Murray explained how he took the defeat in stride（从容应对），and his words should act as a blueprint for anyone who has failed:"I went through it once before and it's nice to get nominated and win some prizes・ You get to go to dinners and tell little stories and so forth. Then you get to get dressed up. And then you get to be on TV, which is sweet. And you can either win or lose. Well you're not supposed to say 'lose' when you talk about the Oscar. You are supposed to say 4not chosen\ But I later realized that I had gotten a little caught up in the possibility of winning. So, shame on myself for getting caught in it. But I won a lot of the prizes for Lost in Translation. So I thought it didn't seem unnatural to expect that I would be rewarded just one more time ・ So when it didn't happen, I thought,'Well, that's kind of funny/ But to get prizes is not why you work：Muiray isn't alone in those feelings. No mention of actors without Oscars would be complete without recognition of Leonardo DiCaprio, who said, T don't think I ever expected anything like an Oscar ever, to tell you the truth. That is not my motivation when I do these roles. I really am motivated by being able to work with great people and create a body of work that I can look back and be proud of."Perhaps neither Murray nor DiCaprio will ever be introduced as an Academy Award・winning actor, but winning an Oscar for acting shouldn't be the point. Here are some other amazing actors who never won an Oscar, even if you think they did: Julianne Moore, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Will Smith. And they have proved that countless times before・l. ______________________________________________ We can learn about Bill Murray from the passage that ___________________________________________ ・A.he felt ashamed that he didn't win the Oscar.B.he never expected himself to win the Osca匸C.he had already won many other awards before he failed in Oscar.D.he is the first actor who had been predicted to win the Oscar but failed.2.Leonard DiCaprio is motivated to act different roles because ________A.he wants to win the Oscar.B.he can cooperate with great people・C.he wants others to take pride in him.D.he is not the only actor who hasn't won the Osca匚3.The underlined word “that" in the last paragraph refers to “ _______ :A.Neither Murray nor DiCaprio will won an Oscar.B.Winning an Oscar for acting shouldn't be the point.C.Some amazing actors have never won an Oscar.D・ You think that some actors should have won an Oscar.4.What is the writer's attitude to Leonardo's idea on winning an Oscar?A.Approving.B.CriticalC.Indifferent.D.Neutral.【文章大意】本文主要介绍了落选奥斯卡奖的比尔默里和莱昂纳多对奥斯卡奖的看法。
