【题目】When it comes to cultural heritage protection, the Grand Canal of China is probably the world’s greatest project of its kind. The big inland waterway system in the north-eastern and central eastern plains passes through eight of the country’s present-day provinces.

The Canal runs from Beijing in the north to Zhejiang Province in the south. Constructed in sections from the 5th century BC onwards, it was designed as a means of communication in the 7th century AD. The Canal is the world’s greatest civil engineering project before the Industrial Revolution.

The Grand Canal reached a peak in the 13th century, providing an inland navigation(航行) network consisting of more than 2,000 kilometers of artificial waterways, linking five of the most important river basins in China, including the Yellow River and the Yangtze. It entered a bid as a UNESCO(联合国教科文组织) cultural heritage site in 2008.

The Grand Canal cultural square is located in Beijing’s Tongzhou district. Ever since the Yuan dynasty 800 years ago, the Tongzhou section of the Grand Canal has been the life blood of Beijing. Grain and building materials were all transported to meet the endless demands of the big cities. Even today, the Grand Canal plays a major role in the lives of its citizens.

"I grew up near the Grand Canal. In the past the waterway was a lot narrower, but now it’s nice and wide and bridges are built over it. I think if the bid for world heritage status succeeds, it will greatly make Tongzhou more famous in the world, especially with Tongzhou aiming to be a sub-center of the capital Beijing," a citizen said.

The result of the bid is set to be released next week, and no doubt it will certainly make it into the history books if the Canal is listed as a world heritage site.

【1】It can be concluded from the passage that .

A. The bid’s result of the Canal will be announced soon

B. the Canal is the UNESCO’s newest world heritage site

C. the Canal is to connect Tongzhou with Zhejiang Province

D. the Canal will be a bid for a UNESCO cultural heritage site

【2】The Grand Canal was in the most glorious time .

A. when it was aimed as a means of communication

B. when it crossed the Yellow River and the Yangtze

C. when it was born about six hundred years later

D. when it was designed as an artificial waterway

【3】What can we infer by reading the passage?

A. Tongzhou used to be the capital of the Yuan dynasty.

B. Most citizens living in Tongzhou depend on the Canal.

C. Tongzhou will benefit if the Canal is made a heritage site.

D. Some citizens think the Canal not to be a cultural heritage item.

【答案】

【2】C

【3】C

【解析】

【1】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的"The result of the bid is set to be released next week"可推知A项正确。

【2】细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的"The Grand Canal reached a peak in the 13th century"可知,大运河在公元13世纪达到它的顶峰时期,再结合第二段可知,它作为一种交通方式的诞生时间是公元7世纪,因此选项C正确。

【3】推理判断题。依据文章倒数第二段这位市民的话可知,如果运河申遗成功,通州就会变得比以往更出名,可能对通州成为北京的次要中心更有利。故选C项。

【题目】 I wasn't interested in becoming a model at first. I worked as a receptionist in a beauty shop during high school. It was in South Dakota. A woman who had worked for Vogue—a famous fashion magazine said to me, “Why don't you go to New York and be a model?”

So I went to New York at eighteen. I went to the first model agency, they thought that I was too long-waisted. It was too bad since I came all the way from South Dakota. I did an information check on the internet and found that Hunting Hartford had just bought the agency. I looked up in the telephone book and dialed. Then I went there. About half an hour later, the man who had just taken over the agency—he had been a male model before—came in. I was just staring at this unfamiliar man when he said, “You! Come into my office!”

How do you feel as a fashion model? Quite OK, I should say. But you stop thinking when you are working. It takes a lot of nervous energy as well because the camera goes one, two, three very fast and you have to move very fast. I like my job because it gives me freedom. I can have half a day off to do things I like. I can't do that if I do a normal job. I never like becoming a secretary. They have to sit in the office for eight hours a day, facing the same people.

Most models, after one or two years, can't be still very interested in it. But I like being a model. Maybe I was a born one, as many people say.

【1】Who inspired the author's desire to become a model?

A. A woman customer in the beauty shop.

A. Because she had a strong desire to become a model.

B. Because she liked to be a receptionist at a beauty shop.

C. Because Hunting Hartford asked her not to go back.

D.Because South Dakota is far away from New York.

3Why did the author like being a model?

A. Because she liked the woman customer.

B. Because she liked the freedom.

C. Because she liked to have a regular work schedule.

D. Because she liked Hunting Hartford.

4What can we learn from the passage?

A. Perseverance leads to your success.

B. Finding a job you like to do is important.

C. Both A and B.

D. Becoming a model is quite easy.
