Unit 1 A land of diversityⅠ.阅读理解AIn the fifteenth century Italy had no single ruler.Instead it was a collection of independent states,known as “city states” because each one was run by a centralcity such as Florence.Some were small;some were large.Most states had their own government,la ws and money.During the Middle Ages,five city states became very rich and powerful.For example,Venice became rich from its trade with the Far East,the Mediterranean and the rest of Europe.Banks in Florence lent money to businesses and governments all over Europe.There was great competition between the city states—which led to regular wars—and between the families which ruled them.The city states also competed with each other to build the grandest or tallest buildings.Let’s look in detail at one city—Florence.In 1400 Florence was one of the largest cities in Italy.It was the centre of a rich trade in wool and cloth.One-third of the workers in Florence worked in the wool trade.The most powerful family in Florence was the Medici family,who had made their money through banking.The most famous member of the family was Lorenzo de’ M edici who ruled the city between 1469 and 1492.The other powerful people who had influence in Florence were the members of the guilds (行业协会).Craftsmen such as carpenters each had their own guild.If you were a member of a guild and over 25 years old then you could be involved in governing the city.The rulers of Florence wanted their city to be impressive and famo us.The Medici collected books and built a huge library to house them.They spent money on renovating (修复) old buildings and putting up new ones.They built a splendid palace and employed painters and sculptors to decorate it.Some of the best and most famousartists were brought to work in Florence.1.What do we know about the city states?A.They ruled themselves.B.They were made up of fi ve cities.C.They didn’t trade with each other.D.They disappeared during the Middle Ages.2.The relationship between the city states can be described as .A.strongB.inflexibleC.unfriendlyD.cooperative3.According to the text,the Medici family .A.created their own guildB.contributed a lot to FlorenceC.was the single ruler of FlorenceD.became rich through doing woodwork4.Why did some artists go to Florence?A.Because there was great demand for art in Florence.B.Because there were many famous artists in Florence.C.Because Florence was well-known for its art trade.D.Because other cities had no interest in art.B(2016·广东五校协作体第一次联考)Welcome to Adventureland!Everyone loves

market,the Berber mountain house and others.Talk to the people there who will tell you about their lives,and things they make.You can try making a carpet,making nets,fishing...The Future TowerThis exhibition shows how progress will touch our lives.It allows us to look into the future and explore the cities of the next cent ury and the way we’ll be living then.Spend some time in our space station and climb into our simulator(模拟装置)for the journey to Mars!The Nature ParkThis is not really one park but several.In the Safari Park you can drive among African animals in one of our Range

Monday morning. 1 But now I am definitely in the “I Love Mondays” camp.Here’s what I’ve found that works: Start Monday morning with your Sunday night routine.When you get ready to exercise,you warm up first. 2 Get everything you need for the morning ready to go.Then consider a special “Sunday Night Only” winding down ritual (固定方式).It might be tea and a favorite TV show,or a long hot bath.Whatever it is,enjoy this Monday morning warm-up,and consider turning in a little earlier than you’re used to.3 Turning in a little early Sunday night can help with getting up a little early Monday morning.When you have a little extra time in the morning,you can gently settle into the day and keep that weekend feeling of ease as you start your new week.Find a theme for the week.Every Monday,I post an inspiring quote or saying on the wall.These are intentional!Each week,as part of my Sunday night winding down time,I consider w hat I’d like to focus on in the coming week,and look for a quote that’s a good fit to reinforce (加强) it. 4Look at the week’s tasks as opportunities instead of problems.What are you excited about for the new week? 5 What’s been hanging over your head undone from last week?Take a look at the week ahead and highlight a few things that you can reasonably accomplish.When you are intentionally creating a life you love,Mondays begin to feel like a beautiful new start!A.Get up early enough to start slowly.B.What a waste of a perfectly good evening!C.What problem-solving opportunities do you have?D.Consider Sunday nights your warm-up for Monday.E.Have them in clean,working order and a convenient location.F.It can be a word or whatever inspires you for the week ahead.G.The work is the same either way,b ut our attitudes are within our control.Ⅲ.书面表达(2016·石家庄一模)假定你是李华,计划本周末和同学一起去河边植树。
