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 disasters, 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 carpenters 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 areperfect 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 cultural significance, but perhaps it should add one more thing to its list of attractions: earthquake shelter.1.

Unit 1 A land of diversity 专题练习I.阅读理解A(2019·广东省百校联盟第二次联考)Many people wrongly think that cities don't have farms and that fruits and vegetables are only grown in the country. Believe it or not, there are more and more urban farms popping up in cities all over the world.Alexandra Sullivan, a food system researcher in New York City, studies urban agriculture. Urban agriculture is another name for farming and gardening in a city environment. Ms. Sullivan studies everything from tiny gardens in empty lots between buildings to bigger fields that have been planted and grown. According to Ms.Sullivan, “Urban agriculture has existed since cities have, across the world.”The number of humans living in urban areas, or cities, is increasing. The amount of people who want to garden in urban areas is also rising. Ms.Sullivan says, “In small gardens, on rooftops and indoors, they grow fruits, vegetables, grains, and herbs, and raise animals to produce milk, eggs, honey, and meat. They use these foods as supplements to food produced by rural agriculture.” Even though some people who live in urban areas grow crops, urban residents still need to rely on food grown in rural areas. This is because a city doesn't have enough space to grow enough food for everyone living in it.In New York City, urban farmers have come up with many different ways to grow their own produce, even though there isn't a lot of room. For example, Brooklyn Grange is a farming operation that has two rooftop vegetable farms in New York City. All together, the farms are made up of 2.5 acres of rooftop space. This makes Brooklyn Grange one of the largest rooftop farming operations in the world.Brooklyn Grange grows all kinds of things. The farming company sells its vegetables to local residents and restaurants. And because the farms are on rooftops, they are specially adapted to their urban location. They use available space that is not needed for anything else. As more urban farmers find ways to grow food in cities, urban residents will be better able to get fresher materials for their meals.1.Which of the following is Ms.Sullivan's opinion according to the text?A.The number of people living in cities is increasing slowly.B.Urban residents still rely on food grown in rural areas completely.C.Urban agriculture has a history as long as cities.D.Urban agriculture can provide huge income.2.What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Farmers.B.City residents.C.Rural residents.panies.3.What can we learn about Brooklyn Grange in New York City from the text?A.It has large farming areas.B.It can only grow single products.C.It produces enough food for citizens.D.It makes use of rooftop space to grow vegetables.4.What may be the best title for the text?A.Farms in CitiesB.Future Food SystemC.Food Grown in CitiesD.Agriculture of New York CityBToday we were heading out to what is arguably one of the most beautiful natural wonders of this region, Saklikent Gorge (峡谷), a 300­meter­deep canyon that is close to Fethiye. However, first, we had to enter the canyon. Before us was a raging river about 20 meters across, and we would have to wade (蹚水) through to get to the entrance of the gorge.I lost my breath when my foot made contact with the water. My whole foot had turned numb. I shot out of the water, fast as a rabbit, screaming like a wild dog. I'm sure it was a sight to see. Dad and Lalika seemed to bear it better, as they were the first to begin heading through the fast flowing waters.Soon it was up to their knees, but battling their way through they were the first of our family to make it across. During this time I was considering if I really wanted to go through with this. The look on Mom's face showed me that there was no alternative. She took my hand and we began making our way through the ice­cold water to the sound of Lalika's cheers. I nearly slipped at one point but thankfully I recovered in time and Mom and I came out of the water half dry and very happy.Then the canyon was in front of us. I began to wade through the softest flowing grey clay that had deposited itself over thousands of years between this magnificent Moorish pink gorge towering over me. I was surprised that the locals hadn't already made a beauty industry out of this, mining this natural resource, when I remembered that thankfully, it was a protected national possession, located in a national park.That didn't stop Dad and Lalika from making a mud pack, as the two of them smoothed the liquid clay all over their faces, arms and legs. The mud also made great war paint and Lalika and I had a really fun time applying it before role playing a fierce battle of the clans (家族). After about 45 minutes of walking, we came to a fork in the canyon, and we decided to return.5.What did the author think of the river?A.Cold.B.Deep.C.Wide.D.Dirty.6.What made the author decide to cross the river?A.Dad and Lalika's example.B.Mom's facial expression.C.Strong determination.D.Family promises.7.Why could Saklikent Gorge be preserved?A.It was hard to enter.B.It belonged to the locals.C.It had no value to develop.D.It had been protected by the government.8.What can we learn about the canyon?A.It is colorful.B.It is muddy.C.It is boring.D.It is scaring.II.语法填空Berlin has the __9__(distinct) of being one of the most beautiful cities in the world. If you're planning to pay a visit to Berlin in Germany, here are a few basic things you need to know.The best time __10__ (visit) this famous city is during one of its long, hot summers, so book a flight to Berlin during the months of June to late August, better __11__ advance.Now that you have __12__ idea about the best time of the year to visit Berlin, what are the must­see places in this lively __13__ (Europe) city? First you should not miss a stop to the Berlin Wall that __14__ (separate) the eastern and western part of Berlin in the past.

She came to China with her parents, whom taught English in an university. We soon became good friends. She was fluently in Chinese while I had difficulty with my speaking English. In order to help me with my English, we spoke as much English as we can when we were together. Before long, I could speak English well but at the same time I also made progresses in my written English. Luckily, a year later, she had to return back to her country with her parents.

“Her grades are fine；I'm not worried about that，but she just doesn't seem to love learning any more，” Alice's mum said.She's absolutely right.I'd noticed the same thing about her daughter over the previous two or three years when I'd been Alice's middle school English，Latin，and writing teacher，and I have an answer，right there on the tip of my tongue，to what has gone wrong.Yet I'm torn between my responsibility to help Alice and the knowledge that what I have to say is a truth I'm not sure this mother is ready to hear.The truth for this parent and so many others is this：Her child has sacrificed her natural curiosity and love of learning at the altar(圣坛)of achievement，and it's our fault.Alice's parents，her teachers，society at large—we are all supposed to be blamed in this crime against learning.From her first day of school，we pointed her toward that altar and trained her to measure her progress by means of points，scores，and awards.We taught Alice that her potential is tied to her intellect(智力)，and that her intellect is more important than her character.We taught her to come home proudly bearing grade As，championship prizes，and college acceptance，and not on purpose，we taught her that we don't really care how she obtains them.We taught her to protect her academic and extracurricular perfection at all costs and that it's better to quit when things get challenging rather than risk losing that perfect record.Above all else，we taught her to fear failure.That fear is what has destroyed her love of learning.1．Both the mother and the author have noticed that ________.A．Alice hates to tell them the truthB．Alice's test scores are not so goodC．Alice chooses several subjects to learnD．Alice doesn't enjoy studying any more2．What do es the underlined word“torn”mean in the passage?A．pained to choose B．guilty to quitC．tired to manage D．certain to decide3．What does the teacher think of the girl?A．Her academic perfection results from her character.B．She is a gifted girl with spirits of challenging.C．She is perfect in her character development.D．Her academic performance is great.4．What leads to the girl's change?A．A few failure experiences.B．Fear of failing to get good grades.C．Her mother's over­protection.D．Her not being accepted by colleges.【解题导语】本文通过Alice的例子说明了父母、老师和社会有时会扼杀孩子的好奇心和对学习的热爱。

As my husband，Doug，stood on the busy New York city street trying to stop a cab, I angled the stroller(婴儿车)away from the cold December wind and rain.I knelt down and kissed my daughter on her cheek where veins crept up(静脉突出)the side of her tiny face.Frustrated and wet，my husband gave up his attempt to flag down a cab.I knew the feeling.Just after her first birthday，our daughter Katie was diagnosed with a rare brain disorder.Since that moment，Doug and I felt like runners in a marathon race where the finish line kept disappearing.We knew Katie was running out of time.It had taken months before we finally had a name for the disorder，vein of Galen malformation，but we were told only a handful of specialists in the world were qualified to perform the precise surgeries.Now，as we finally found a brilliant doctor to save our girl，we were trapped in a strange city in the cold rain.Just at the moment，a middle­aged woman pulled over and said，“Pardon me？May I offer you a ride？”Before we could say anything，she continued，“It's really no trouble for me.Just get on.”It was then that I noticed her thick Irish tongue，an accent that warmed me like hot soup.We could simply say，“Thanks！Roosevelt Hospital，please，” and settled in her car for the ride.I don't know how she knew，maybe she noticed the veins and asked，“Are you going for the baby？”I nodded my head，choking back a tiny sob.At the hospital we thanked her a dozen times for the ride.The woman hugged me and I noticed her face was wet with tears in worry.She promised to pray for us before she left.After three more visits to New York and two more brain surgeries，Katie is cured.But the voice of the Irish Angel still rang as a constant reminder of a tiny ray of light that appeared on our darkest days.1．What were the family doing on the street?A．Watching a marathon race.B．Protecting their daughter from cold.C．Trying to ride a taxi.D．Playing with their daughter.2．What was the trouble with Katie's illness?A．It was a terrible brain cancer.B．It was impossible to be cured.C．It was hard to name the disease.D．Its surgeries were hard to perform.3．Why was the woman driver in tears when leaving?A．Because she knew the girl had run out of time.B．Because she had sympathy for the family's misfortune.C．Because the family promised to pray for her.D．Because there were veins on the little girl's face.4．What's the best title for this passage?A．An Irish Angel in New YorkB．An Adventure in New YorkC．An Angel of Roosevelt HospitalD．An Unforgettable Cab Ride【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

A land of diversity一、阅读理解Vinegar makes salad, fries and dumplings taste better, and you can even use it to clean your windows. And now, according to scientists, it may even the planet’s population survive climate change.Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) in Japan found that growing plants in vinegar makes them more resistant to droughts. This could mean that in the future, worries about climate change affecting the world’s supply of food will be much lower. The discovery was made after the researchers studied the Arabidopsis, a plant known for its ability to survive in dry weather. It was found that when the plant was placed in drought-like conditions, it produced a chemical called acetate（醋酸盐）—the main ponent of vinegar.After discovering this, the scientists experimented further by adding acetate to the soil of other plants, before they stopped giving them water pletely. After leaving the plants for 14 days, they found that the ones treated with acetate had survived, while the untreated plants had dried up and died.It’s hoped that this simple method of survival could soon be used to help farmers in dry countries keep their crops alive. "In the experiment, we targeted the staple foods of the world—rice, wheat and maize—and the basic plant of breeding species, rapeseed（油菜籽）," Jong Myong Kim, co-author of the study, told Popular Science magazine.Kim also told the magazine he’s already been in touch with people all over the world who are interested in trying this simple and cost-effective method out for themselves from flower growing panies to amateur gardeners. Although at this point keeping thirsty plants alive isn’t as easy as just pouring vinegar over them, Kim said he and his team are working on making the process as simple as possible. "Now we are trying to cooperate with some farmers, and also some panies, to make a method to apply this system, "he said. And for those of us who always forget to ask our neighbors to water our plants when we go away, hopefully this means the end of returninghome from a trip to find our favorite flowers have died.1.What is the article mainly about?A. The world’s food supply will be increased.B. Plants better survive droughts.C. The Arabidopsis is resistant to droughts.D. Vinegar could be used to fight droughts.2.It was discovered that acetate can .A. be used by farmers to replace soilB. only be produced by the ArabidopsisC. help plants survive dry conditionsD. be used to improve poor soil3.What are the target plants of the experiment?A. all breeding species.B. wheat and Arabidopisis.C. rice and maize.D. rapeseed and Arabidopisis.4.Jong Myong Kim’s experiment of trying out the method .A. can make people’s trips pleasantB. turned out a worldwide successC. is as simple as pouring vinegar over the plantsD. appeals to many flower growing panies【文章大意】本文属于科普类文章。
