When the Notre Dame Paris cathedral(巴黎圣母院)was on fire, it seemed as if the nation had lost a piece of its soul. A similar tragedy took place in the 19th-century Russia. And the rebuilding effort of the Russians might offer some inspiration to the French.
Standing in the heart of the Russian capital, with 60, 000 square meters of floor space and 1, 500 rooms, the Winter Palace was among the worlds grandest buildings. On Dec.17, 1837, a fire broke out in the Winter Palace. By the morning of Dec.19, only the structure’s framework remained.
For the czar(沙皇), the fire presented a political challenge. Fearing that Russia’s enemies would cast the fire as a blow to the czarist order the czars supporters quickly worked together to shape the description of the fire in Russia and abroad. They wanted the country to appear united. And they certainly didn’t want despair to become the story.
The first full account of the fire was written in French by the poet Petr Viazemskii. A Russian translation appeared two months later. That text and others painted a highly idealized picture of the response to the tragedy. The accounts noted that the czar forcefully directed the fire’s containment(控制).Soldiers were selfless to save the palace. The Russian people felt the loss just as deeply as the czar. To erase the shame of the fire the czar.
To erase the shame of the fire, the czar set a nearly impossible goal; rebuild the palace within 15months, and he ordered that the rebuilt palace look exactly as it had before. Thousands of workers labored on the construction site. They made rapid progress. On March 25, 1839 the czar celebrated the rebirth of the Winter palace.
Outwardly identical to the old version, the new palace featured more iron and brick in its structures-and less wood. It was far less fire-prone(有火灾危险的)than the original.
Notre Dame hasn’t experienced the same level of destruction as the Winter Palace. If the Russian phoenix of 1839 is any indication, there is hope that a renewed Notre Dame will once again grace(为...增色)the banks of the Seine(塞纳河).
4. what do we know about the fire in the Winter Palace
A. It burnt down 60, 000 rooms.
B. It lasted more than 24 hours.
C. It was set by Russia’s enemies.
D. It completely destroyed the palace.
5. Why did the czar decide to rebuild the palace in a short time
A. To secure his power.
B. To challenge his enemies.
C. To unite French people.
D. To celebrate his birthday.
6. What did Viazemskii and others stress in their accounts
A. The scene of the fire.
B. The selflessness of the czar.
C. The Russians' joint effort to fight the fire.
D. The ideal result achieved by the Russians.
7. What’s the authors purpose in writing the passage
A. To describe a fire at the Winter Palace.
B. To praise the renewal of the Winter Palace.
C. To express sympathy for the Notre Dame
D. To inspire confidence in rebuilding the Notre Dame
C
Tower Bridge is a bascule bridge in London, over the River Thames. It is close to the Tower of London which gives it its name. It is incorrectly referred to as London Bridge, which is the next bridge upstream(在上游).It is one of five London bridges now owned and maintained by the Bridge House Estates.
In the second half of the nineteenth century, increased commercial(贸易的)development in the East End of London led to a requirement for a new river crossing downstream of London Bridge. A Special Bridge or Subway Committee was formed in 1876 to find a solution to the river crossing problem. It opened the design of the crossing to public competition. Over 50 designs were received. The judgment of the designs was surrounded by argument and it wasn’t until 1884 that a design sent by Horace Jones was sanctioned.
Construction of the bridge started in 1886 and took about 8 years’ hard work of 432 construction workers. Over 70, 000 tons of concrete were sunk into the river bed to support the construction. Over 11, 000 tons of steel provided the framework(框架)for the towers and walkways. Horace Jones died in 1887, and another engineer took over the project. The bridge was opened in 1894.
The bridge sits almost directly above the Tower Subway, the world’s first underground tube railway(1870), which, until the bridge was opened, was the shortest way to cross the River Thames. A computer system was installed(安装)in 2000 to control the raising and lowering of the bascule. However, this has proved less reliable than expected, resulting in the bridge being stuck in the open or closed position on a number of occasions.
8. What does Paragraph I say about Tower Bridge
A. It’s named after a famous person.
B. It’s another name for London bridge.
C. It’s not far from the tower of London.
D. It’s the only bridge over the River Thames.
9. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “sanctioned” in Paragraph 2
A. Tried.
B. Received.
C. Discovered.
D. Passed.
10. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. The history of Tower Bridge.
B. The building of Tower Bridge.
C. The influence of Tower Bridge.
D. The importance of Tower Bridge.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Many breakdowns have happened to Tower Bridge
B. The computer system works better than expected.
C. The underground tube railway has a history of less than 20 years.
D. The Tower Subway is the shortest way to cross the River Thames.

There would be 29 , surely-every Chinese New Year meal included fish. I could explain to my friends what Mom had told us: how the 30 for “fish” in Chinese sounded like another word meaning abundance. There would be chicken, too, probably with the head still on because a 31 chicken for Chinese New Year represented wholeness.
The line was slowly moving forward until 32 it was my turn. The cafeteria worker passed me my plate and I looked down. I barely 33 anything. All I did was sit there, confused. They called this “Chinese” lunch, so why had I never 34 it before Those first few bites, I realized later, were my 35 to Chinese-Canadian cuisine.

Deep in the forest, my husband and I had fun climbing over and crawling under the downed trees that blocked the dirt path before us. It was May, yet we walked up a snow-covered hill.
When we noticed our jeans were wet up to our knees, it did not dampen(减弱)our spirits. Not once did we say, “Let’s turn around. This was our vacation, and we were on an adventure. Little did we know this was the beginning of many more surprises.
The trail was marked as an easy one-kilometer hike, yet we were already walking a long distance Our lightheartedness(轻松自在)stopped when we came out into a clearing and saw a parking lot without our rental car in it. As my eyes scanned the surroundings, nothing looked familiar. My heart raced(急速跳动). I realized we were lost in a national park that did not officially open.
Usually, I am the calm one in the relationship, but my husband surprised me with his calmness. This did not comfort me; in fact, it heightened(增加)my fear. As we walked, I asked my husband to call for help, but there was no cell phone signal in this isolated area.
It was awfully quiet except for our footsteps the road, and my heavy breathing. My husband suggested we conserve energy and walk lower. With each step on the road, my feet and thighs(大腿)hurt while my mind raced with thoughts about people who got lost in the Canadian woods for days.
My gaze sharpened. I noticed everything around me: the trees, rocks and snow. I thought we could eat the snow on the ground in case we needed water. For the first time in my life, I was ready and willing to get a ride, but we did not meet a single car on the road. Silently, I prayed multiple times. We focused on each other, made joint decisions and connected through gratitude. We managed to stay on the main ad and walked straight on.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。由巴黎圣母院着火的事情,作者想到了俄罗斯冬宫也曾经历过失火后的重新修建。1837年冬宫失火,烧得只剩下了框架。沙皇怕这场火影响自己的统治地位,一边稳定人心,一边在15个月内重新修建了冬宫。以史为鉴,也许巴黎圣母院也将会重新屹立在塞纳河畔。
4. B【解析】细节理解题。由文章第二段中的 On Dec.17, 1837, a fire broke out in the winter Palace. By the morning of Dec.19only the structure’s framework remained.可知,冬宫于1837年12月17日着火,直到12月19日早上火才灭掉,并且烧得冬宫只剩下了框架。所以大火持续了不止24小时。故选B。
5. A【解析】细节理解题。由文章第三段中的 For the czar(沙皇),the fire presented a political challenge. Fearing that Russia’s enemies would cast the fire as a blow to the czarist order以及第五段中的 To erase the shame of the fire months可知,对于沙皇来说,这场火意味着一个政治挑战。他害怕俄罗斯的敌人将这场火作为对沙皇统治的打击,为了抹去大火的耻辱,所以做了在短时间内重建冬宫的决定。故选A。
6. C【解析】细节理解题。由文章第四段中的 The accounts noted that the czar forcefully directed the fires containment(控制)Soldiers were selfless to save the palace.The Russian people felt the loss just as deeply as the czar.可知,这些对火灾的描述指了沙皇竭尽全力控制火势,土兵奋不顾身去挽救冬宫,俄罗斯人民与沙皇一样深感损失惨重。也就是强调了俄罗斯人上下心与火灾作斗争。故选C。
7. D【解析】推理判断题。文章最后一段指出,巴黎圣母院烧毁程度不如冬宫严重。如果1839年俄罗斯的冬宫重现是一种启示,那么巴黎圣母院重新屹立在塞纳河畔还是有希望的。由此可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是增强人们对巴黎圣母院重建的信心。故选D。

10. B【解析】主旨大意题。通读文章第三段内容可知,本段主要介绍了建造伦敦塔桥的相关信息。
11. A【解析】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段最后一句 However,this has proved less reliable than expected,resulting in the bridge being stuck in the open or closed position on a number of occasions.可知,伦敦塔桥发生过很多次故障。故选A。

14. C【解析】细节理解题:从文章第三段中的 and there is a petting oo for children可知,圣迭戈动物园中有为儿童设立的爱畜动物园。
15. A【解析】推理判断题。文章最后一段说明,学生们在圣迭戈可以一边接触来自世界各地的人,一边获得商业经验,还提到了学生们既能在教室中学习英语,也能在观光时学习英语。所以,圣选戈对学生们来说是一个可以获得实践经验的好地方。故选A。

42. to offer【解析】考查动词不定式。句意:有着如此悠久且令人激动的历史,洛阳真的有很多东西可以提供。have意为“有”时,它的宾语后面接不定式的主动形式,表示被动意义。
43. have been included【解析】考查时态和语态。句意:自2000年以来,龙门石窟就已被列入世界遗产名录,它和许多有历史意义的佛寺不断吸引着来自世界各地的游客。根据从句中的时间状语 since 2000可知,空格处用现在完成时,且 which引导的非限制性定语从句修饰的先行词是 The Longmen Grottoes, 与 include之间是被动关系,故用被动语态。故填have been included。
44. constantly【解析】考查副词。空处修饰谓语动词 attract, 故用副词constantly。
45. built【解析】考查过去分词。句意:洛阳还以白马寺而闻名,这是中国最早建造的佛寺。分析句子可知,the earliest Buddhist temple与build在逻辑上是被动关系,所以用过去分词作后置定语。

One possible version:
Paragraph 1
My husband suddenly spotted a small building on a hill in the distance. In no time did we find ourselves heading for it. We were filled with hope and excitement to find such a building in the middle of nowhere. We climbed up the hill at a swinging pace as if all the pains were gone. As we approached, a sign came into sight, which read: Administration Office. However, it was not open for business. The empty hall made us nervous all at once. We stood there hopelessly, wondering what to do next.
Paragraph 2
Just then, a friendly woman appeared, saying, “Hello.” I could barely hold back my enthusiasm and blurted out, “We’re lost!” She comforted us and provided a room for us to take a break. Seeing we were cold and hungry, she treated us to hot chocolate. After studying the map, we figured out that our car was parked over three kilometers away. She offered us a ride back to our car and we accepted gladly, I felt relieved to see our rental car again. What a blessing to have such an unforgettable experience!
