|阅|读|技|能|提|升| 厘清三要素，挖掘文章主旨
本文是一篇旅行日记。旅行日记的三要素是：“所至”，即作者的游踪，是文章的线索；“所见”，即作者在游程中目睹的风土人情，是文章的主体；“所感”，即作者由所见所闻而引发的所思所想，是文章的灵魂。
本文结构清晰，作者按照时间顺序叙述了自己在旧金山一天的行程。第一段描述了作者回到旧金山的感受；第二、三、四、五段分别叙述了作者上午、下午、傍晚在旧金山的活动和所见所闻，以及第二天晚上的活动安排。第二段没有直接给出时间线索，而第三、四、五段首句均提供了重要的时间线索：In the afternoon, This evening和Tomorrow evening。贯穿该旅行日记的主线是旧金山的多元文化，作者在一天的旅行中体会到多元文化体现在这个城市的各个方面，我们从中可以挖掘出文章的主旨。
(一)赏用词之妙
1．I have to admit that it definitely feels good to be back in the city again.
赏析：feel在该句中为感官系动词，后面跟形容词good作表语。definitely意为“确实，肯定” ，修饰feels good，强调再次回到旧金山感觉实在太棒了。这组词汇用得恰到好处，生动地描写了作者又回到旧金山时的激动的心情。
2．The museum did a really good job of showing how America was built by immigrants from different countries and cultures.
赏析：本句中really用得恰到好处，说明博物馆很好地展示了来自不同国家和文化的移民是如何建设美国的，表达了作者的赞叹之情。

④(完成句子)____________________________ if you could give me such an opportunity to show my talent.
如果你能给我这样一次机会来展示我的能力，我真的不胜感激。
(二)赏句式之高
1．And what a city — a city that was able to rebuild itself after the earthquake that occurred in 1906.
赏析：本句中含有两个定语从句。a city是先行词，其后是that引导的定语从句，从句中earthquake后也是that引导的定语从句。句中的破折号起到了解释说明的作用，解释了这座城市在1906年发生地震后能够自我重建的伟大之处，让读者了解了它的背景。
2．Many others found jobs on farms, joined the gold rush, or went to build the railway that joined California to the eastern region of the country.
赏析：or 连接found, joined和went三个并列的谓语动词，其中that引导定语从句。本句展现了很多人从世界各地来到旧金山后如何谋生的情景。
①There are many things __________________________________ in life.
生活中有很多我们应该心存感激的事情。
②I __________________________ in my free time.
在空闲时间里，我阅读、写作或者听音乐。
(三)赏描摹之韵(景色描写)
There are so many beautiful old buildings — many sitting on top of big hills, offering great views of the city, the ocean, and the Golden Gate Bridge.
赏析：本句描述了旧金山美丽的景色：美丽的古建筑；站在古建筑上俯瞰，城市、大海和金门大桥的美景尽收眼底。so many beautiful old buildings突出了景物之美、美景之多；old说明了历史悠久。
(四)赏衔接之顺
This district used to be a poor area of town, but is now a centre for art, music, and food.
赏析：but连接两个并列谓语，but前面说明the Mission District过去的情况——城市的贫困地区，but后面说明the Mission District现在的情况——艺术、音乐和美食中心。but在此表示转折关系，表明今非昔比。used to be表示“过去曾是”，暗含现在不是了。
I ______________________， but I stopped practising.
我过去常常弹钢琴，但后来停止练习了。

Finding a balance: my tai chi experience
， I hesitated.I always believed tai chi was for old people.After the first class, however, I had to admit that I had been wrong about tai chi.It was amazing! One year later, I can honestly say it has had a huge effect on me physically and mentally.Just as importantly, has inspired me to explore the Chinese culture behind it.
The first few tai chi classes were fun and easy, and the moves really caught my imagination, with descriptive names like “white crane spreading its wings” and “golden rooster standing on one leg”．When I asked my coach where these interesting names came from, he told me about the history of tai chi. after drawing inspiration from a fight between a snake and a bird.However, nowadays people tend to believe that Chen Wangting, a 17th-century master of Chinese martial arts, developed tai chi based on martial arts skills.No wonder some tai chi moves are named after animals — Chinese martial arts have a long-standing practice of imitating animals.Chen Wangting's original set of moves is called Chen-style tai chi, but other styles of tai chi have since been developed, including Yang-style, Wu-style and Sun-style.
After learning the basics of tai chi in those first few classes, from doing the same moves over and over again.Luckily, my coach taught me how to relax my muscles and focus on peace of mind while performing the routine. in mind, I found to my satisfaction that my balance and flexibility slowly improved, that I was able to do more difficult moves, and that my love for tai chi returned stronger than ever.
In time, I began to look into the ancient Chinese culture behind tai chi.I discovered that tai chi is deeply rooted in the Chinese philosophy of yin and yang, which are believed to form the unity of opposites.Neither can exist independent of the other; for example, there is no shadow without light.The practice of tai chi aims to maintain the balance of yin and yang in the body through opposite movements：forwards and backwards, up and down, left and right, breathing in and breathing out.Eventually, tai chi brings about a state of physical balance and mental peace.
A year of practising tai chi has had a positive effect on my everyday life.I sleep better at night, and I am more energetic during the day.I feel happier and more confident.Tai chi has taught me to relax my mind, enabling me to stay cool in stressful situations.I am sure I will continue to practise tai chi and enjoy the benefits it has brought me.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
The 3D animated movie Tea Pets was released in China on July 21 and fired people's enthusiasm in learning more about the increasingly popular tea pets — porcelain figures placed on tea trays.The followings are some typical tea pets with various forms and shapes.
Pi Xiu
Tea pets in the form of Pi Xiu — a mythical animal similar to a Chinese unicorn — are very popular among businessmen.In traditional Chinese culture, Pi Xiu, the ninth son of a dragon, can bring fortune to people.It only takes money as food and never lets it out.Moreover, it is believed that Pi Xiu can protect a house from evil spirits.
Three-legged toad
In Chinese myths, three-legged toads spit money from their mouth and help the poor.Thus, it has been considered a lucky animal for a long time in Chinese culture.If you're a fan of Harry Potter series, this little toad might be a good reminder of Hogwarts and magic.
Little foot with a spider
In the shape of a little fat foot with a spider on it, this tea pet might look strange to non-Chinese speakers.In the Chinese language, spider is zhi zhu and foot zu.When the two pronunciations are combined, it would be a homophone (同音字) for “satisfied” in Chinese.It is designed to remind people of having a satisfied attitude towards life and being grateful for every little gain.
The best way to raise a tea pet is to brush it with the fresh tea you are drinking.Only use one kind of tea to pour on a tea pet, rather than many kinds.Oolong, such as Tie Guanyin, and green tea are better choices to raise a tea pet apart from Pu'er tea.

The classical gardens of Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China date back to the 6th century BCE when the city was founded as the capital of the Wu Kingdom.Inspired by these royal hunting gardens built by the King of the State of Wu, private gardens began emerging around the 4th century and finally reached the top in the 18th century.
Today, more than 50 of these gardens are still in existence, nine of which are regarded as the finest models of Chinese “Mountain and Water” gardens.The earliest of these, the Canglang Pavilion was built in the early 11th century on the site of an earlier, destroyed garden.Designed and built under the influence of the unconstrained (不受约束的) poetic freehand style originally seen in traditional Chinese landscape paintings,
they are noted for their excellent connection of skillful techniques, artistic elegance and rich cultural implications.These gardens lend insight into how ancient Chinese constructors harmonized conceptions of aestheticism (唯美主义) in a culture of reclusion (隐居) within an urban living environment.
Garden masters from each dynasty adapted various techniques to artfully model nature by skillfully adapting and using only the physical space available to them.Limited to the space within a single residence, classical Suzhou gardens are intended to be a microcosm of the natural world, incorporating basic elements such as water, stones, plants, and various types of buildings of literary and poetic significance.
These excellent gardens are a proof to the superior craftsmanship of the garden masters of the time.These unique designs that have been inspired but are not limited by concepts of nature have had great influence on the development of both Eastern and Western garden art.These garden groups of buildings, rock formations, calligraphy, furniture, and decorative artistic pieces serve us showcases of the artistic achievements of the East Yangtze Delta region; they are basically the personification of the traditional Chinese culture.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了苏州园林的艺术成就。
4．What aspect about the classical gardens of Suzhou does paragraph 1 tell
A．Its history. B．Its styles.
C．Its size. D．Its owners.

5．The classical gardens of Suzhou were built .

6．What does the underlined word “microcosm” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Decoration. B．Reflection.
C．Limitation. D．Improvement.
√
解析：词义猜测题。根据第三段画线单词上文“Limited to the space within a single residence”及后文“of the natural world, incorporating basic elements such as water, stones, plants, and various types of buildings of literary and poetic significance”可知，苏州园林受空间限制，只能把这些自然世界的基本元素缩小融合在一起，苏州园林是自然与文学、诗意的缩影。因此，画线单词的意思是“映像，反射”。故选B。
7．What is the author's opinion about the gardens of Suzhou
A．Beautiful but unavailable.
B．Decorative but impractical.
C．Skillful and influential.
D．Laborious and space-occupying.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Culture often refers to things like food, holidays, clothing, and music, but it also goes much deeper than that. 8 So when we meet people from different backgrounds, we can sometimes find that there are big differences in how we see the world, even if we speak the same language.
One of the best ways to understand others' cultures is to first examine your own.Do you take your shoes off when you go inside？ 9 In Japan, you would never go inside without swapping your outdoor shoes for slippers, whereas in the US, many people don't bother taking their shoes off when they come in.Therefore, it's so important to understand your place in the world, which will help you understand other people better too.
10 When you meet people from a different culture, you can politely ask them about their lives.Seek out books or watch movies by and about people who're different from you.Additionally, you can immerse (沉浸) yourself in a different culture through travel to understand how different other lifestyles can be.
However, sometimes, learning a lot about a different culture can lead you into a trap.You may think you know much about a culture, which may lead you to show off your knowledge when you meet someone from that background.But it's a problem to assume that everyone from one particular culture has the same attitudes and experiences.Your assumptions that lead you to prejudge others can be harmful. 11
Differences between us are what make life so interesting.So accept the differences between yourself and your friends from different cultures. 12 In detail, ask questions if your friends are open to it, but also learn how to just silently observe and appreciate the differences that make us unique.
A．It is a simple thing, but it's a huge marker of culture!
B．Learning is another great way to understand different cultures.
C．Behaviors, customs, beliefs, and values are also part of your culture.

The classical gardens of Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China date back to the 6th century BCE when the city was founded as the capital of the Wu Kingdom.Inspired by these royal hunting gardens built by the King of the State of Wu, private gardens began emerging around the 4th century and finally reached the top in the 18th century.
Today, more than 50 of these gardens are still in existence, nine of which are regarded as the finest models of Chinese “Mountain and Water” gardens.The earliest of these, the Canglang Pavilion was built in the early 11th century on the site of an earlier, destroyed garden.Designed and built under the influence of the unconstrained (不受约束的) poetic freehand style originally seen in traditional Chinese landscape paintings, they are noted for their excellent connection of skillful techniques, artistic elegance and rich cultural implications.These gardens lend insight into how ancient Chinese constructors harmonized conceptions of aestheticism (唯美主义) in a culture of reclusion (隐居) within an urban living environment.
Garden masters from each dynasty adapted various techniques to artfully model nature by skillfully adapting and using only the physical space available to them.Limited to the space within a single residence, classical Suzhou gardens are intended to be a microcosm of the natural world, incorporating basic elements such as water, stones, plants, and various types of buildings of literary and poetic significance.
These excellent gardens are a proof to the superior craftsmanship of the garden masters of the time.These unique designs that have been inspired but are not limited by concepts of nature have had great influence on the development of both Eastern and Western garden art.These garden groups of buildings, rock formations, calligraphy, furniture, and decorative artistic pieces serve us showcases of the artistic achievements of the East Yangtze Delta region; they are basically the personification of the traditional Chinese culture.

Culture often refers to things like food, holidays, clothing, and music, but it also goes much deeper than that.__8__ So when we meet people from different backgrounds, we can sometimes find that there are big differences in how we see the world, even if we speak the same language.
One of the best ways to understand others' cultures is to first examine your own.Do you take your shoes off when you go inside？__9__ In Japan, you would never go inside without swapping your outdoor shoes for slippers, whereas in the US, many people don't bother taking their shoes off when they come in.Therefore, it's so important to understand your place in the world, which will help you understand other people better too.
__10__ When you meet people from a different culture, you can politely ask them about their lives.Seek out books or watch movies by and about people who're different from you.Additionally, you can immerse (沉浸) yourself in a different culture through travel to understand how different other lifestyles can be.
However, sometimes, learning a lot about a different culture can lead you into a trap.You may think you know much about a culture, which may lead you to show off your knowledge when you meet someone from that background.But it's a problem to assume that everyone from one particular culture has the same attitudes and experiences.Your assumptions that lead you to prejudge others can be harmful.__11__
Differences between us are what make life so interesting.So accept the differences between yourself and your friends from different cultures.__12__ In detail, ask questions if your friends are open to it, but also learn how to just silently observe and appreciate the differences that make us unique.
A．It is a simple thing, but it's a huge marker of culture!
B．Learning is another great way to understand different cultures.
C．Behaviors, customs, beliefs, and values are also part of your culture.
D．To achieve it, do strike a balance between curiosity and appreciation.
E．So don't do it to others even if you understand their culture really well.
F．The more you learn, the more used you get to respecting cultural differences.
G．Wherever you live, there are probably immigrant communities (侨民团体) with their own customs.
