Unit 4 History and Traditions 拓展阅读专项训练（一）
刷阅读理解
体裁：说明文 题材：社会文化 词数：301 难度：中 建议用时：7分钟
[河北邯郸2019高一期末] Other cultures can be different from ours in many aspects! They can eat different foods and live in different types of houses. People probably speak different languages and have beliefs and customs very different from yours. However, they can also be similar in ways of connecting with each other. We sometimes call these means of communication universal language.
Some legends hold that, thousands of years ago, there was a single language spoken by everyone on Earth. It is fun to think about a time when everyone may have been able to communicate in the same language though historical evidence does not support this, of course.
Today, there are thousands of languages spoken around the world. Yet, there are some means of communication that go beyond words and allow people of wildly different backgrounds to communicate and share emotions and feelings. For example, some people believe music is a universal language. There may be some scientific support for this idea, too. Experts have learnt that, across cultures, people can recognise three common emotions in music：happiness, sadness and fear.
So what other types of universal languages might there be？Some people believe dance is universal language. Along with music, dancing seems to be a common interest shared by people all over the world. Do you think you could see a dance from another culture and make some reasonable guesses about the ideas and emotions behind it We bet you could!
Another universal language that you might not have thought of is maths! If you think about it now, though, it just makes sense. The value of pi is roughly3. 14159 no matter where you are on Earth. Likewise, figuring out the value of something involves the same mathematical calculations, regardless of whether you’re counting in dollars, pesos or coconuts.
1. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to
A. The view that people only used one language.
B. The fact that there used to be many languages.
C. The evidence that proves old languages funny.
D. The doubt that people didn’t under each other.
2. Why is music regarded as a universal language
A. It can be enjoyed by people from all walks of life.
B. It can be understood more easily than languages.
C. It usually comes from different backgrounds.
D. It helps people to share common feelings.
3. What are the universal languages according to the passage
A. Maths, English and music.
B. Music, dance and maths.
C. History, culture and music.
D. Emotion, pi and music.
4. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Various Differences in different Cultures
B Music Helps People Show Feelings
C. Universal Languages Connect Different Cultures
D Cross-cultural Communication History

Children’s Games in Ancient China
Unlike the children nowadays, the children during ancient times didn’t have smartphones, iPads or computers to entertain (娱乐) themselves. 1 Let’s take a look.
Kicking stone balls
During the Qing Dynasty, kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China, and it was often played in winter to keep warm. Stones were carried into small balls and kicked along with feet.
Flying kites
Kites have quite a long history. The earliest kites were made of wood, instead of paper. Nowadays, the three most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite and Weifang kite. 2 For example, the swallow-shaped kite is a well-known Beijing style.
Playing hide-and-seek
Hide-and-seek is a traditional game for children, which is popular around the nation. Even nowadays many children like playing it. There are two ways to play. One way is covering a child’s eyes while other kids run around to play a trick on him. 3
4
The closest thing to watching a film or television for entertainment during ancient times was going to see a shadow play. Folk artists manipulated puppets behind the screen, narrating stories accompanied by music.
Setting off firecrackers
Firecrackers have a history of more than 2, 000 years. It is said that there was a beast named Nian in ancient China. 5 After gunpowder was invented, it gradually took the place of the bamboo joint cracker.Crackers are still set off during the spring festival to symbolise auspiciousness（吉祥）.
A. Making a film
B. Watching shadow
C. Each of them has different features（特色）.
D. Different materials are used to make the kite.
E. More commonly, participants hide and one child must try to find them.
F. Instead, they came up with interesting games to play in their childhood.
G. And to scare off the beast, people burnt bamboo joints to make loud noise.

【语篇导读】本文为说明文。不同文化之间可能在很多方面存在差异，但是在人与人之间的沟通方式上可能是相似的。我们有时把这些沟通方式称为通用语言。文章主要介绍了什么是通用语言。
1. A 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句句意“虽然历史证据并不支持这一点，但是想想，有那么一个时代，每个人都能用同一种语言进行交流，是很有趣的”可知，this指的是“每个人都能用同一种语言进行交流”。故选A项。
2. D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的 Experts have learnt that, across cultures, people can recognise three common emotions in music happiness, sadness and fear.可知，人们认为音乐是一种通用的语言，是因为它帮助人们分享共同的感情。故选D项。
3. B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的 For example, some people believe music is a universal language.及第四段中的 Some people believe dance is a universal language.和第五段中的 Another universal language that you might not have thought of is maths! 可知，音乐、舞蹈和数学被认为是通用语言。故选B项。
4. C 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了什么是通用语言，因此C项“通用语言连接不同的文化”适合做本文最佳标题。故选C项。
刷7选5
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了四种中国古代的儿童玩的游戏。
1. F 根据上文 Unlike the children nowadays, the children during ancient times didnt have smartphones, iPads or computers to entertain themselves.（不像现在的孩子，古代的孩子没有智能手机、Pad或电脑来娱乐自己）和下文Let's take a look.（我们来看看）可知，该空起承上启下的作用，F项“相反，他们小时候想出了有趣的游戏玩”符合题意，故选F项。
【方法总结】逻辑关系法
做7选5时要注意逻辑关系词对上下文的衔接作用。关注前后文或选项中出现的关联词，然后按照对应的逻辑关系进行判断。例如并列关系、递进关系、转折关系、因果关系等。常见的逻辑关系词有and, also, however, but, instead, because, so等。例如第1小题中所选的F项中包含逻辑关系词 Instead，该题正是对逻辑关系的考查。
2. C 根据该空前面提到有三种著名的风筝和后面举的例子可知，该空起承上启下的作用，C项“它们中的每一个都有不同的特色”符合题意，故选C项。
3. E 上文提到“捉迷藏”的两种玩法。一种方法是遮住一个孩子的眼睛，其他孩子跑来跑去逗他。该空承接上文，E项“更常见的情况是，参与者躲起来，一个孩子必须设法找到他们”符合题意，故选E项。
4. B 该空需要填能概括本段大意的小标题，根据该段内容可知，该段讲的是皮影戏结合选项可知，应选B项。
5. G 根据该空的前一句和后一句可知，该空起承上启下的作用，G项“为了吓跑这头野兽，人们烧竹节以弄出很大的声音”符合题意，故选G项。
