Ⅰ.阅读理解
When the cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris(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 19th century Russia.And the rebuilding effort of the Russians might offer some inspiration for 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 world ’s grandest building.On Dec.17,1837，a fire broke out at 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 orders ，the czar ’s 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.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 set a nearly impossible goal ：rebuild the palace within 15 months ，and he ordered that rebuilt palace look exactly as it had before.Thousands of workers labored on the construction site.They made rapid progress.On Match 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 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 the banks of the Seine.
语篇解读 这是一篇记叙文。

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
1．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.
答案 B
解析细节理解题。

由文章第二段中的“On Dec.17,1837，a fire broke out at the Winter Palace.By the morning of Dec.19，only the structure’s framework remained.”可知，冬宫1837年12月17日着火，直到12月19日早上火才灭掉，且烧得冬宫只剩下了框架。

所以大火持续了不止一天。

故选B。

2．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.
答案 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 orders...”可知，对于沙皇来说，这场火意味着一个政治挑战。

它害怕俄罗斯的敌人将这场火作为借口不服从沙皇的命令，所以采取了重建冬宫的决定。

故选A。

3．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.
答案 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 fire’s containment.Soldiers were selfless to save the palace.The Russian people felt the loss just as deeply as the czar.”可知，这些对火势的描述描写了沙皇竭尽全力控制火势，士兵奋不顾身去保护冬宫，俄罗斯人与沙皇一样对冬宫深感损失严重。

也就是说强调了俄罗斯人上下一心救火。

故选C。

4．What’s the author’s 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.
答案 D
解析推理判断题。

由文章最后一段中的“巴黎圣母院烧毁程度不如冬宫那么严重。

如果1839年俄罗斯的冬宫复现是一种指引，那么巴黎圣母院重新屹立在塞纳河畔还是有希望的。

”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。

25．答案are decorated
解析考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。

由全文时态可知，此处应用一般现在时，又由decorate和其主语streets and houses之间为被动关系可知，用被动语态。

故填are decorated。

26．答案to show
解析考查非谓语动词。

固定搭配：be meant to do sth.“为了做某事，旨在做某事”。

故填
to show。

27．答案our
解析考查代词。

此处指“我们自己的双手”，应使用形容词性物主代词。

故填our。

28．答案mostly
解析考查副词。

修饰动词reflect应用副词。

mostly表示“主要地，通常”。

故填mostly。

29．答案a/one
解析考查不定冠词或不定代词。

此处泛指“中国人长期保持的一种价值观”，应使用不定冠词a或不定代词one。

故填a/one。

30．答案and
解析考查连词。

根据语境可知，此处为并列关系，故填and。

31．答案performances
解析考查名词。

空处与or前的games并列作having的宾语，应使用名词复数。

故填performances。

32．答案Traditional
解析考查形容词。

修饰名词activities，应使用形容词。

故填Traditional。

33．答案adding
解析考查非谓语动词。

此处add与Traditional Chinese activities之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，应使用现在分词形式作状语。

故填adding。

34．答案which
解析考查定语从句。

此处为非限制性定语从句，先行词是the trends of mutual(相互的) learning and harmonious coexistence(共存) between civilizations，关系词在从句中作主语，应使用关系代词which引导。

故填which。

第一处：考查介词。

介词as意为“作为”，后面要接表示身份或职业的名词，而for通常表示原因。

所以把for改为as。

第二处：考查名词的单复数。

根据句意可知有很多故事，所以把story改为stories。

第三处：考查副词。

句中应该使用副词修饰动词do，所以把good改为well。

第四处：考查形容词。

句中应该使用形容词修饰名词preparations，所以把fully改为full。

第五处：考查非谓语动词。

动词短语practice doing sth.意为“练习做某事”，要用动名词充当practice的宾语，所以把use改为using。

第六处：考查固定搭配。

动词短语come to an end意为“结束”，在句中充当谓语动词。

所以在end前面加an。

第七处：考查定语从句。

此处是“介词＋关系代词”引导的定语从句。

先行词是the month-long volunteer work，关系代词which指代先行词，充当介词from的宾语，what不能引导定语从句。

所以把what改为which。

第八处：考查宾语从句。

句中how引导宾语从句，that是多余的。

所以要删除that。

第九处：考查动词的时态。

本句是对这次志愿工作的评价，要使用一般现在时。

所以把believed
改为believe。

第十处：考查连词。

根据句意可知，上下文是转折关系，而不是并列关系。

所以把and改为but。
