限时规范练45(选修8Unit 23A)核心素养关键词:培养学生人与社会、考古历史的素养能力意识一、阅读理解AHigh in a valley on the border of Italy and Austria,a young couple went out for a hike.As the hikers made their way across the snow-covered rocks,they found that a human body lay buried in the melting ice.They quickly called the police.Finally,the body was dug out of the ice and sent to a laboratory.In the lab,an archaeologist examined the body and other items that had been found nearby.The study of these items showed that they were over 5,000 years old!The local people were very excited by this news.They called him Otzi because he had been found near the Otztal valley.As news of the iceman spread,people all around the world took an interest.Who was Otzi the Iceman? Where did he come from? How did he live? Why did he die?Scientists have come a long way toward answering these questions.They have learned a great deal from Otzi’s belongings about what life was like 5,000 years ago.They believe that he had a diet made up of grains.By examining his teeth and bones,they believe that he was born in a small village near present-day Bolzano,Italy.Scientists made X-rays of Otzi’s body.They found that Otzi had been in a fight before he died.They believe that he escaped his attackers and fled up the mountain and found a place to rest.He placed all his belongings neatly at his side,and lay down on the ground.He was weak from loss of blood.After some hours had passed,Otzi died.Snow fell,covering his body.For thousands of years,snow fell on the mountain.Otzi became buried deeper and deeper inside the glacier.There he remained until the melting ice exposed him to the hikers.Today,Otzi rests inside an ice case in the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano,Italy.Otzi the Iceman is the oldest human body ever found.Because of Otzi,we can touch the distant past and imagine the lives of our human ancestors.【篇章导读】本文是记叙文。

BYou may normally think you eat food because it’s food,and don’t eat other things,becausethey’re not.But a look at other cultures will show you that that is not true.“Food behavior is a product of culture,” according to an article by Robert A.Leonard Ph.D.and Wendy J.Saliba,MA,MBA.“Food is an important part of who you are.” It goes on to name different cultures,and how food choices change through generations as immigrants seek acceptance into an American lifestyle.Growing up in a Jewish neighborhood,and being an Irish Catholic,I found my friends’ families served different food than mine.Foods that were never served in my home yet were common in theirs.I read their article just days after attending my fortieth high school reunion,where many of my classmates returned from various parts of the country.The common comment from the out-of-towners was,“I have to get bagels (百吉圈) to bring back for everyone.” Bagels are especially popular in communities with a large Jewish population.When people moved away they realized the bagels they grew up with,are a part of their being.Leonard points out that “Others’ food generally means claiming that they eat what we do not.”And,“Within our own groups,we confirm our membership by preparing and eating certain foods.”This is true within my own family.In working with my Italian-American friends,I have always heard them complain that on Thanksgiving it is not the American customs they find so challenging in managing their weight,it’s the mixing of their Italian customs along with the American.Being Irish,this type of celebration was alien to me,until my Italian sister-in-law joined our family last year.On the first Thanksgiving she hosted,she served both the Italian and American menus.It was then I truly understood the challenges for my Italian-American friends.Many restaurants in New York City are known for having two separate menus.They will offer one menu for the people of their culture that includes their insider foods,and one for the American consumers that does not.【篇章导读】本文是夹叙夹议文。
