高考英语一轮复习 Unit 1 Cultural relics话题(含解析)新人教版必修2
Unit 1 Cultural relics(一)Cultural relicsCultural relics have begun to be a hot topic in China today as the balance between developing the nation and retaining traditionalculture must be found. This can be seen in thepublic’s desire to rebuild places of interest. Thiscan be seen intensively in Beijing as traditionalcourtyards are removed to make way for large,modernbuildings. As people gain more money and are able tomove around freely in China,they want to preserve therelics of their cultural past. People now wish to preserve traditional architecture like old city walls instead of knocking them down. Some even wish to rebuild those that have been torn down. The Chinese people are renewing their interests in the folk arts and are dedicating new culture exhibitions in order to educate people on their grand heritage. This is not just a domestic idea. Chinese culture is also spreading abroad as people express an interest in China. Chinese studies abroad have increased a great deal as China becomes more of a growing economic and international player. The interest in Chinese relics abroad is also high because foreigners are coming to appreciate Chinese culture.文化遗产已经开始成为当今中国的热门话题,因为必须在国家发展和传统文化保存间找到平衡。

答案:CⅡ.阅读理解(2012·湖北高考)You've just come home, after living abroad for a few years. Since you've been away, has this country changed for the better—or for the worse?If you've just arrived back in the UK after a fortnight's holiday, small changes have probably surprised you—anything from a local greengrocer suddenly being replaced by a mobilephone shop to someone in your street moving house.So how have things changed to people coming back to Britain after seven, ten or even 15 years living abroad? What changes in society can they see that the rest of us have hardly noticed—or now take for granted? To find out, we asked some people who recently returned.Deb i: When we left, Cheltenham, my hometown, was a town of white, middleclass families—all very conservative (保守的). The town is now home to many eastern Europeans and lots of Australians, who come here mainly to work in hotels and tourism. There are even several shops only for foreigners.Having been an immigrant (移民) myself, I admire people who go overseas to find a job. Maybe if I lived in an inner city where unemployment was high, I'd think differently, but I believe foreign settlers have improved this country because they're more openminded and often work harder than the natives.Christine: As we flew home over Britain, both of us remarked how green everything looked. But the differences between the place we'd left behind and the one we returned to were brought sharply into focus as soon as we landed.To see policemen with guns in the airport for the first time was frightening—in Cyprus, they're very relaxed—and I got pulled over by customs officers just for taking a woolen sweater with some metalmade but tons out of my case in the arrivals hall. Everyone seemed to be on guard. Even the airport carhire firm wanted a credit card rather than cash because they said their vehicles had been used by bank robbers.But anyway, this is still a green, beautiful country. I just wish more people would appreciate what they've got.1. After a short overseas holiday, people tend to ________.A.notice small changes B.expect small changesC.welcome small changes D.exaggerate small changes2. How does Debi look at the foreign settlers?A.Cautiously. B.Positively.C. Sceptically. D.Critically.3. When arriving at the airport in Britain, Christine was shocked by ________.A.the relaxed policemen B.the messy arrivals hallC.the tight security D.the bank robbers4. Which might be the best title for the passage?A.Life in Britain. B.Back in Britain.C.Britain in Future. D.Britain in Memory.答案与解析1. A 细节理解题。
