本文是一篇议论文。巴黎圣母院的火灾引发了关于欧洲其他数千座教堂和历史建筑状况的质疑。文章论述了历史建筑值不值得斥巨资修复的问题?
【1】考查名词复数。句意:巴黎圣母大教堂的大火引发了人们对欧洲其他数千座大教堂和历史建筑的状况的质疑。structure为可数名词,根据空前cathedrals and可知,空处名词需用其复数形式表示泛指。故填structures。
【2】考查动词不定式。句意:这也引发了一些问题,即欧洲各国政府是否有足够的努力来维持和维护这些建筑。固定搭配:be enough to do sth.“足够可以做某事”。故填to keep。
【3】考查动词时态。此处表示客观事实,谓语动词需用一般现在时态;主语是单数,所以谓语动词需用第三人称单数形式。故填needs。
【4】考查连词。句意:有人说这场火灾是一个警钟,不仅对欧洲,而且对整个世界。固定搭配:not...but...“不是……而是……”。故填but。
【5】考查介词。句意:长期来看,大火夺走了人类的知识、艺术和财富。固定搭配:rob sb. of sth.“剥夺某人某事”。故填of。
【6】考查动词时态。句意:2015年,德国工程公司西门子发现苏格兰每年大约发生10起破坏性火灾,而英国每年至少损失了12座登记在册建筑。由时间状语 In 2015可知,空处谓语动词需用一般过去时态,表示过去发生的动作。故填found。
【7】考查副词。句意:自2000年以来,德国已有70座历史建筑遭到严重破坏。由句子结构可知,空处需用副词作状语修饰动词。故填heavily。
【8】考查主语从句。句意:专家说需要的是持续的关注和维护。由句子结构可知,空处需用连接词引导主语从句;此处主语从句缺少主语,表示“什么”之意,所以空处需用连接代词what。故填what。
【9】考查形容词。句意:有人说像巴黎圣母院这样世界著名的纪念碑是旅游业背后的驱动力,应该得到更多的尊重。根据句意可知,此处使用形容词driving“强劲的”。故填driving。
【10】考查名词。句意:遗产组织Europa Nostra的负责人Quaedvlieg-Mihailovicis指出了这种尊重的重要性。由句子结构和句意可知,空处需用名词,表示“……的重要性”。note为及物动词后接名词作宾语。故填importance。
