Ⅲ.阅读理解(10分)
John Smith is an exchange student from New York. Here is a letter to his friend in his hometown.
Dear David,
How time flies! It’s been 3 months since I came to China. I’m having fun on my student exchange program here. I am used to life here and have known a lot about traditional Chinese culture. I will share some with you.
In China, there are many different kinds of traditional art forms, such as paper cutting, Chinese clay art, kite making and so on. Among them, the kite interests me most. The first ancient Chinese kite appeared more than 2 000 years ago. Then flying kites spread to Japan, Korea and Malaysia during the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. Kites are regarded as the earliest craft(飞行器). They played an important role in the process of inventing the plane.
Tea culture is important in China. Tea was discovered as a kind of drink by accident about 5 000 years ago. It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. It didn’t appear in England until around 1660. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. Now tea has become one of the most popular drinks around the world.
Lastly, I’d like to tell you something about the Mid-Autumn Festival. Chinese people have been celebrating it and enjoying moon cakes for centuries.
If you’d like to know more about traditional Chinese culture, I will talk about it in the next letter.
Best wishes!
Yours,
John

Unit 7 随堂小测
Ⅰ.1.A　2.A　3.B　4.A　5.A　6.B
7.C
8.A　句意:“我厌倦了打扫房子。”“现在,清扫机器人应用得越来越广泛了。为什么不买一个呢 ”根据时间状语today可知,用一般现在时;“sweeping robots”与use之间是动宾关系,要用被动语态,故用一般现在时的被动语态。
9.A　have gone to sp.意为“去了某地(还未回来)”;have been to sp.意为“去过某地(已经回来)”。根据上句“为什么今天下午我们不和四班打篮球呢 ”可推知,下句句意为“因为他们去隆中研学了”。根据语境可知是去了某地,而非去过某地。
10.C　表示分数时,分子用基数词,分母用序数词,分子大于1,分母用复数形式;根据句中的主语land可知,系动词应用单数形式。
Ⅱ.11—15　CBDBA　16—20　ABCDC
Ⅲ.21.B　22.C　23.C
24.C　根据信件第二段最后一句“They played an important role in the process of inventing the plane.”可知,风筝在飞机的发明过程中起着重要的作用。故选C。
25.A　由信件第一段中“I am used to life here and have known a lot about traditional Chinese culture. I will share some with you.”可知, John想将中国传统文化分享给David。故选A。
