Paris is a city full of sites of different times and architectural styles.Here are some of these famous spots that are essential to understand the city’s complicated past.

Notre-Dame Cathedral
Dating back to the 12th century,the Notre-Dame Cathedral has long towered alongside the banks of the Seine River.With its complicated Gothic (哥特式的) architectural details,it represents Parisian culture and architecture.Unfortunately,a fire broke out on 15 April 2019,destroying part of it.Visitors are not allowed to enter until 8 December 2024.

语篇导读:本文是应用文。文章主要介绍了巴黎四个不同时期的、建筑风格迥异的历史
遗迹。
答案及剖析:
1.B　推理判断题。根据第二段的“If possible,avoid visiting...on weekdays.”可知,应避免在高峰期和周末参观埃菲尔铁塔,且最好的参观时间是工作日刚开门的时候,因此“周一上午九点”是最好的游览时间。故选B。
2.B　细节理解题。根据第四段的“Louvre Museum...period to the present.” 可知,卢浮宫是了解从中世纪以来到现在的绘画历史的地方。故选B。
3.D　推理判断题。通读全文,尤其根据第一段的“Here are...complicated past.”可知,本文展示了关于巴黎历史的一些景点。故选D。

The Great Pyramid of Giza located in the middle of the Egyptian desert,is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.Aside from being an incredible architectural achievement,it also serves as the final resting place for the great Pharaoh(法老) Khufu.Yet,one question which has confused archeologists and architects alike is how this amazing structure was built.
Many people don’t believe that humans were technologically advanced enough in ancient Egypt to build such a large and highly advanced structure.This brought about many crazy theories that the pyramids were constructed by a race of giants or even aliens from outer space.Another popular theory suggested that the pyramids were built by an army of poor slaves who were forced to.
Modern technology and some recent findings have helped shed some light on this ancient mystery.A major breakthrough occurred when an explorer accidentally uncovered a tomb containing some written information about the builders.The records revealed that the workers were paid and well-fed,and came from poor families in Egypt.Further analysis made it clear that people considered it an honour to work on the pyramids,and the builders were treated with great respect.In fact,anyone who died while working on the pyramids was given the honour of being buried in the tomb near where the pharaohs lay.
The myth that they purposely worked to death isn’t true,either.To avoid exhaustion,the builders worked three-month shifts and then were given a break to recover.A recent estimate from researchers is that a workforce of roughly 15,000 people could have completed the construction in about 10 years.An analysis of the bones of the builders revealed that their work was extremely tough,as most of the skeletons displayed signs of severe injuries.But thanks to their incredible effort,the human race has an astonishing monument that should stand the test of time.
(　　)4.Which of the following is TRUE about the Great Pyramid of Giza
A.It remains a mystery who built it.
B.It was a tomb for the great Pharaoh Khufu.
C.It was one of the Seven Wonders of Ancient Egypt.
D.It was an architectural wonder although roughly structured.
(　　)5.What is the third paragraph mainly about
A.The identity of the builders of the pyramids.
B.The well-off life of the builders of the pyramids.
C.New information about the builders of the pyramids.
D.Some information about the life of Pharaoh Khufu.
(　　)6.Which of the following best proves that the builders were highly respected
A.They were paid for their hard work on the pyramids.
B.They were eating well although they were from poor families.
C.They were selected because it was an honour to work on the pyramids.
D.They were buried near the pharaohs’ tombs if they died during working.
(　　)7.How does the author seem to feel about the builders of the pyramids
A.He is grateful that they could work so hard.
B.He shows great sympathy for their hard work.
C.He is impressed by their devotion to the pharaohs.
D.He feels proud of them for their advanced technology.

7.A　推理判断题。根据最后一段的最后两句可推断,作者很感激金字塔的建筑工人能如此努力工作。故选A。
C
Although it is often called the koala “bear”,this lovely animal is not actually a bear at all.It is a marsupial (有袋类动物),and like kangaroos,a female koala carries her baby in her pouch for about six months.
Koalas live in four states only in eastern Australia,where the eucalyptus trees (桉树) they love are most plentiful.In fact,they seldom leave these trees,their sharp claws (爪子) easily keeping them high up in the air.
During the day they sleep for up to 18 hours.When not asleep,they feed on eucalyptus leaves,especially at night.Koalas do not drink much water and they get most of their water from these leaves.Each animal eats a large amount for its size—about two and a half pounds of leaves a day,even storing snacks of leaves in pouches.
The koalas were widely hunted during the 1920s and 1930s and their populations decreased suddenly.Helped by reintroduction,they have reappeared over much of their former habitats,but their populations are smaller.Koalas need a lot of space—about a hundred trees per animal—which is a pressing problem,as Australia’s woodlands continue to get smaller because the trees they live on are being cut down to make farms.Also,forest fires,caused by heatwave,are destroying the forests the koalas live in.
It has been estimated (估算) that there are only 100,000 koalas left in the wild,with the lowest estimates being no more than 43,000.The koala can only eat eucalyptus leaves and live nowhere else except Australia,so in order to survive,human effect on its limited environment must be controlled,or this attractive creature faces certain extinction.
(　　)8.What can we learn about koalas from the first three paragraphs
A.They eat most of the day.
B.They feed on eucalyptus leaves.
C.They belong to the bear family.
D.They use the pouch to store water.
(　　)9.What caused the decrease of koala populations during the 1920s and 1930s
A.Farming. B.Forest fire.
C.Hunting. D.Food shortage.
(　　)10.Why are koalas in danger of dying out
A.Their young are difficult to raise.
B.They are often shot by the farmers.
C.They can’t adapt to global warming.
D.Their living environment is worsening.
(　　)11.What will the author most probably talk about next
A.How to increase koalas’ populations.
B.How to make good use of limited environment.
C.How to help koalas get used to new living environment.
D.How to reduce human effect on koalas’ living environment.
语篇导读:本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了考拉的物种、生活习性和分布地,重点说明了这种动物面临的生存危机。
答案及剖析:
8.B　细节理解题。根据第三段的第二句可知,考拉以桉树叶为食。故选B。
9.C　细节理解题。根据第四段的第一句可知,考拉数量下降是因为其曾被大量猎杀。故选C。
10.D　推理判断题。根据第四、第五段内容可知,考拉需要很大的活动空间,这些空间正受到人类活动、自然灾害等的威胁,栖息地环境持续恶化,考拉面临灭绝的危险。故选D。
11.D　推理判断题。文章由介绍考拉的物种、生活习性及分布地入手,交代了其数量的变化,接着引出考拉所面临的生存危机,并在文章最后呼吁人们控制自身的活动以减少对考拉的影响。所以文章接下来最有可能讲述如何减轻人类活动对考拉的影响。故选D。
Ⅱ.七选五
