【文章大意】 这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述前往奥地利因斯布鲁克旅行的经历,描绘了城市风光、地标建筑与美食,表达对这座城市的喜爱。
1.A 推理判断题。文章中作者通过陈述一系列关于因斯布鲁克的事实来展开内容。如第二段“This amazing destination is surrounded with snow-capped mountains and is perfect for a short break.”描述了因斯布鲁克的地理环境;第三段“The city is a combination of modern and historic buildings, serving both as a thriving(繁荣的) university town and a popular tourist centre.”阐述城市特点;第三段“The Goldenes Dachl(Golden Roof), an important landmark in Innsbruck shining in the sunlight, can be viewed from the street, and took my breath away.”介绍城市地标等。文章通过这些事实性描述,全面展现因斯布鲁克的风貌。故选A项。
2.B 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“The Goldenes Dachl(Golden Roof), an important landmark in Innsbruck shining in the sunlight, can be viewed from the street, and took my breath away.”(黄金屋顶,因斯布鲁克的一个重要地标,在阳光下闪耀,从街上就能看到,它让我惊叹不已。)可知,作者在这座城市看了黄金屋顶。故选B项。
3.B 词义猜测题。根据文章第四段“Of course, no visit to Innsbruck is complete without sampling traditional Austrian food including my personal favourite—apple strudel with vanilla cream.”可推测,sampling 意思是“品尝”,与tasting同义。故选B项。
4.D 主旨大意题。文章讲述作者前往因斯布鲁克旅行的经历,描述了城市的美景、历史建筑、美食等,如文章第四段中“Innsbruck stole my heart with its amazing buildings, great mountains and friendly people.”(因斯布鲁克以其令人惊叹的建筑、雄伟的山脉和友好的人们俘获了我的心。)突出作者在因斯布鲁克的美好体验,所以D项“My great escape—inspiring Innsbruck”(我美妙的逃离之旅——令人惊叹的因斯布鲁克)适合做文章标题。故选D项。
B
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了面包的发展历史、制作技术及其对社会的影响。
5.B 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“The earliest bread may have been made from cattails(香蒲) and ferns(蕨类植物), which date back to nearly 30,000 years ago.”可知,古代人最初用香蒲和蕨类植物来制作面包。故选B项。
6.A 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“One problem with the production of early bread was preservation, as bread would often go bad quickly. The solution was to change unused bread into beer, which proved to be far more suitable for storage.”可知,他们将面包转化为另一种状态以防止浪费。故选A项。
7.B 段落大意题。根据文章第三段“With the development of the earliest bread, new technologies appeared to help with the baking process…including pestles, querns, and mills(磨面机).”可知,本段主要讲的是烘焙面包的新技术。故选B项。
8.C 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中“The production of bread led to many major changes in society, where the production and processing of wheat and barley for bread and other foods changed economies and social structures…Later, mills and large flat stones were used to make more high-quality flour.”可知,面包生产引发诸多社会重大变化,小麦和大麦用于制作面包等食物,其生产加工改变了经济和社会结构。城市兴起后,大量劳动力投入食品生产,城市人口增多促使面包制作走向工业化。起初手工制面粉多为粗粮,后来借助磨面机和大扁平石头制作出更高质量的面粉。据此推断,面包的生产推动了经济和技术的发展。故选C项。
Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了在卡斯泰克湖举办的中国传统龙舟竞赛,涵盖龙舟竞赛的历史、参赛人员的作用,以及举办者期望推广这项运动并让其成为奥运项目的愿望。
1.providing 考查非谓语动词。provide和它的逻辑主语tents为逻辑上的主谓关系,应用现在分词形式。故填providing。
2.who 考查定语从句。此句是非限制性定语从句,先行词paddlers指人,关系词在从句中作主语,需用关系代词who引导。故填who。
3.with 考查介词。此处为with的复合结构,在句中作伴随状语。故填with。
4.originally 考查副词。修饰介词短语in honour of the Chinese water dragon deity,应用副词originally。故填originally。
5.and 考查连词。call down rain和avoid misfortune and disaster之间是并列关系,应使用并列连词and连接。故填and。
6.uses 考查时态和主谓一致。根据keeps可知,句子时态为一般现在时,描述的是一个客观事实,句子主语drummer是第三人称单数形式,谓语动词需用第三人称单数形式。故填uses。
7.involved 考查非谓语动词。动词involve与其逻辑主语him之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,应用过去分词作补语。故填involved。
8.their 考查代词。根据空后own festival可知,应用形容词性物主代词their。故填their。
9.awareness 考查名词。作及物动词expand的宾语,应使用名词形式awareness。故填awareness。
10.an 考查冠词。sport为可数名词,此处表示泛指,Olympic发音以元音音素开头,需用不定冠词an。故填an。Unit 4 HISTORY AND TRADITIONS
Guardians of time: the light of history
and traditions
Standing in the shadow of ancient temples or holding a faded family heirloom (传家宝), we are reminded that history is not merely words in textbooks, but a living force connecting generations. Traditions, like threads weaving through time, carry the wisdom and values of those who came before us.
From the Great Wall winding across mountains to the delicate art of tea ceremonies passed down for centuries, history shapes our identity. To honour the past is not to live in it, but to understand how every custom—whether a festival celebrated with lanterns or a folk song hummed at dusk—reflects the struggles and dreams of our ancestors. Imagine walking through the ruins of Pompeii, where cracked walls whisper stories of a civilization frozen in time; such experiences teach us that history is a mirror, reflecting both humanity’s brilliance and fragility (脆弱).
Yet traditions face challenges today. Surrounded by fast-paced technology, some view ancient practices as outdated. However, losing traditions would be like cutting roots from a tree—without them, we drift aimlessly. Take the Dragon Boat Festival, where racing boats and sticky rice dumplings are not just fun activities but symbols of courage and unity. By preserving these practices, we ensure that future generations inherit not just memories, but a compass guiding them through life’s storms.
History and traditions are not chains binding us to the past, but wings helping us soar into the future. Let us cherish them, for they are the heartbeat of civilization—quiet yet powerful, ancient yet forever new.
【主题词句背诵】
1.pass down 传递,传承
2.identity n.身份;相同;特征

With the recent relaxation in travel, I found myself visiting Innsbruck, the capital city of the state of Tyrol in Western Austria.
This amazing destination is surrounded with snow-capped mountains and is perfect for a short break. You can even enjoy a breathtaking sight at Innsbruck Airport as the plane gently moves between the mountains on its journey to the runway.
The city is a combination of modern and historic buildings, serving both as a thriving (繁荣的) university town and a popular tourist centre. Walking through cobbled(铺着鹅卵石的)streets and specially designed buildings, I could not help but be impressed by this awe-inspiring city. I learned from my guide book that Innsbruck was the imperial capital 500 years ago when the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian Ⅰ settled here, and it still lives up to its royal (王室的) connections today with its lavish (奢侈的) and amazing buildings. I walked round this city which was easy to explore on foot, amazed at the dramatic backdrop of the Nordkette mountain range which offers skiing and hiking via the Nordkettenbahnen cable railway which is just a 20-minute ride from the centre of Innsbruck. The Goldenes Dachl (Golden Roof), an important landmark in Innsbruck shining in the sunlight, can be viewed from the street, and took my breath away.
Of course, no visit to Innsbruck is complete without sampling traditional Austrian food including my personal favourite—apple strudel with vanilla cream. Roadside cafés are plentiful in the city and there is nothing more relaxing than sitting in the sunshine, drinking coffee and watching the world go by. Innsbruck stole my heart with its amazing buildings, great mountains and friendly people. I cannot wait to return to sample more of this delightful European city.

The earliest bread may have been made from cattails (香蒲) and ferns (蕨类植物), which date back to nearly 30,000 years ago. This suggests that even before the rise of agriculture, humans had begun to form a type of flour that they would then use to create bread. The earliest wheat- and barley-based bread developed from the Middle East by around 12,000 years ago.
One problem with the production of early bread was preservation, as bread would often go bad quickly. The solution was to change unused bread into beer, which proved to be far more suitable for storage. Beer likely made the production of bread less wasteful, as extra bread not eaten could then be made into beer.
With the development of the earliest bread, new technologies appeared to help with the baking process. This included enclosed ovens and open ovens that used mud or brick to make a hot surface on which flatbread could be prepared from a dough mix. Bread and earlier agricultural foods affected the development of many food preparation technologies, including pestles, querns, and mills (磨面机).
The production of bread led to many major changes in society, where the production and processing of wheat and barley for bread and other foods changed economies and social structures. Much labour was employed for the production of food with the rise of cities, where an increased population required bread to be made at more industrial scales in large ovens and prepared by many people. At first, people made flour by hand, often leading to coarse grains. Later, mills and large flat stones were used to make more high-quality flour.
Millet was another grain used to make bread, particularly in India and China. A form of flatbread made of millet is still the main food type in India. In China, sorghum and rice were also used to make bread, which made the consistency (黏稠度) and quality very different from wheat- and barley-based bread.
( )5.What did ancient people use to make bread in the beginning
A.Wheat and barley.
B.Cattails and ferns.
C.Sorghum and rice.
D.Millet and corn.
( )6.What did the ancient people do to stop the waste of bread
A.They changed bread into another state.
B.They stored bread in a more suitable place.
C.They developed a way to produce extra bread.
D.They improved the baking process of the bread.
( )7.What is mainly talked about in the third paragraph
A.The development of baking tools.
B.New technologies for baking bread.
C.The way to use food preparation tools.
D.The process of preparing a dough mix.
( )8.What can we infer from the production of bread
A.It led to a sharp increase of population in cities.
B.It made people only use machines to make better flour.
C.It pushed the development of economy and technology.
D.It promoted the division of labour in a more suitable way.

was to change unused bread into beer, which proved to be far
more suitable for storage. Beer likely made the production of
bread less wasteful, as extra bread not eaten could then be
made into beer.
With the development of the earliest bread, new
technologies appeared to help with the baking process. This
included enclosed ovens and open ovens that used mud or

brick to make a hot surface on which flatbread could be
prepared from a dough mix. Bread and earlier agricultural foods
affected the development of many food preparation technologies,
including pestles, querns, and mills (磨面机).
The production of bread led to many major changes in
society, where the production and processing of wheat and
barley for bread and other foods changed economies and social
structures. Much labour was employed for the production of
food with the rise of cities, where an increased population

required bread to be made at more industrial scales in large
ovens and prepared by many people. At first, people made
flour by hand, often leading to coarse grains. Later, mills and
large flat stones were used to make more high-quality flour.
Millet was another grain used to make bread, particularly in
India and China. A form of flatbread made of millet is still the
main food type in India. In China, sorghum and rice were also
used to make bread, which made the consistency (黏稠度) and
quality very different from wheat- and barley-based bread.
