五、阅读理解
Brad daydreamed through History class. At night, he found himself stuck when doing his homework. He thought of his Sight Pro, the smart glasses, and put them on.
"Teach me about the Grand Canal." Then, the instructions took the boy on a journey along the canal. He started in Hangzhou and was slowly travelling up north towards Yangzhou.
He was taking in the fantastic views when Sight Pro suddenly said,“ ★ ”
"Are you giving me a test? Hmm, bring it on." A question appeared before his eyes: "What is the length of the Grand Canal? Is it more than 1,000 kilometres or 2,000 kilometres?"
"I'll go for 1,000 kilometres." It took Brad two seconds to decide. "Wrong answer. It's more than 2,000 kilometres of man-made waterways. It's the longest in the world."
Then came the next question: "When did the building of the canal begin?"
“Was it in the 7th century?” Brad answered hesitantly(犹豫地). “Wrong answer. It started in the 5th century B.C. After that, different parts were built at different times. In the 7th century, Emperor Yang of Sui expanded(扩大)the canal to its present scale(规模)by linking(连接)the parts.” “How amazing!” Brad went on his journey for a while.
Then came the third question: "Why was the Grand Canal built?"
"To make it easier for people to travel around the country." "Wrong answer. Its main purpose was to transport goods from the rich lands in the south to the capital city in the north."
In the end, Brad scored zero on all the questions, but he was pleased that he had learned a lot.
“A big change happened to the Grand Canal during the Yuan Dynasty because the capital was moved to Beijing. Emperors needed new routes，”he wrote the answer to one question. "The canal has been a World Heritage Site(世界文化遗产)since 2014，”he read out another answer as he wrote it down.
“Good job, Brad！”Sight Pro's sweet voice was heard again. ( ) 1. Which picture shows the Grand Canal?
( ) 2. Which of the following can be put in “ $ \star $ ”?
A. How do you like your journey? B. How beautiful the Grand Canal is!
C. Fun time is over. Here comes the hard part.
D. Enjoy it? Now it's time to take me off.
( ) 3. Why was Brad pleased even if he scored zero?
A. Because he learned a lot while having a wonderful time.
B. Because there was no need for him to finish his homework.
C. Because he got all the answers to the questions in his homework.
D. Because he was very proud of our national heritage.
( ) 4. Which might the "one question" be in Paragraph 11?
A. How was the Grand Canal built?
B. Why was the capital moved to Beijing?
C. How long has the Grand Canal been a World Heritage Site?
D. Why was the Grand Canal changed in the Yuan Dynasty?

Exercise 6 of Unit 3 of 8B Integration (Ⅱ)
答案：1.B 2.C 3.A 4.D
解析：
【分析】
1. 第1题：首先根据文章描述，大运河途经杭州、扬州等江南区域，具备水乡河道、船只、沿岸民居的典型特征。结合图片来看，A为雪山、C为沙漠驼队、D为塔楼，均不符合大运河的场景，只有B图的水乡风貌与大运河特征匹配。
2. 第2题：前文Brad正在通过智能眼镜欣赏大运河风景，后文直接进入答题测试环节，空白处需要一个能实现“欣赏→测试”过渡的语句。分析选项，A、B、D均无法引出测试环节，只有C选项“欢乐时光结束了，难的部分来了”能自然衔接前后内容。
3. 第3题：定位原文倒数第四段“In the end, Brad scored zero on all the questions, but he was pleased that he had learned a lot.”，可知Brad开心的核心原因是在体验过程中收获了知识，结合前文他的虚拟旅程体验，对应选项A。
4. 第4题：根据第11段Brad写下的答案“A big change happened to the Grand Canal during the Yuan Dynasty because the capital was moved to Beijing. Emperors needed new routes”，可知答案是在解释元朝大运河变化的原因，反推问题应是询问该变化的原因，对应选项D。
【解析】
1. 第1题：大运河是连接南北的人工运河，沿岸为江南水乡风貌，图B展现了河道、船只与水乡民居，符合大运河的特征，故选B。
2. 第2题：上下文呈现“欣赏风景→进入测试”的转折逻辑，选项C起到承上启下的作用，能顺利引出后续答题环节，符合语境，故选C。
3. 第3题：原文明确指出Brad开心是因为“had learned a lot”，且他在虚拟旅程中既体验了风景又学习了知识，选项A与原文表述一致，故选A。
4. 第4题：Brad写下的内容是元朝大运河发生变化的原因，对应的问题应为询问该变化的原因，选项D符合这一逻辑，故选D。
【答案】
1.B 2.C 3.A 4.D
【知识点】
细节信息提取、语境逻辑衔接、图文匹配
【点评】
本文围绕智能眼镜辅助学习大运河知识展开，题目考查学生对细节信息的捕捉、语境逻辑的判断以及图文结合的分析能力，解题需紧扣原文关键语句，结合选项逐一排查。
【难度系数】
0.6
