According to The New York Times, the fire began around 6: 30 . local time, when tourists urgently rushed out of the building. While Andre Finot, a spokesman for the cathedral, told The Times, that the cause of the fire is still unknown and that no one has been hurt while damage to the building appears catastrophic(災(zāi)難性的). CNN reports that over 400 firefighters have been sent to fight the fire, but that they may be unable to save the cathedral. Built in the 12th century, NotreDame houses several relics important to Catholics (天主教徒). NBC News reports that relics from Saint Genevieve and Saint Denis may been lost, together with a relic believed to be from Jesus Christ39。s crown of thorns, but it states that authorities now believe that the cathedral has been saved from “total destruction”. NotreDame is visited by a reported 30, 000 people a day and 13 million people per year. Its destruction represents a global cultural loss. This is just horrible, Mohamed Megdoul, 33, a film producer and witness to the fire told The Times, speaking through tears. A thousand years of history is being wiped away. This belonged to the whole world, and now it39。s disappearing. French President Emmanuel Macron expressed his sadness on Twitter. NotreDame of Paris in flames, reads an English translation of his statement. Emotion for a whole nation. Thoughts for all Catholics and for all the French. Like all our countrymen, I39。m sad together to see this part of us burn. Other politicians, including Melanis Trump, London Mayor Sadiq Khan, U. K. Prime Minister Theresa May also shared their sadness on Twitter.(1)What do we know about NotreDame according to the passage? has been pletely destroyed by the fire.39。s a huge political loss to the world.39。s only meaningful to Catholics. reason of the fire remained to be found out.(2)What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph imply? history of France is destroyed because of the fire. loss the fire caused is huge. damage of NotreDame is being wiped off. cathedral has been saved from total destruction.(3)What39。s the purpose of writing the passage? report a disaster of NotreDame. express people39。s sadness of the destruction. emphasize the value of NotreDame. show the concerns from the worldwide.【答案】 (1)D(2)B(3)A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新聞報(bào)道,報(bào)道了舉世聞名的法國(guó)巴黎圣母院發(fā)生火災(zāi)的相關(guān)信息。 (1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“While Andre Finot, a spokesman for the cathedral, told The Times, that the cause of the fire is still unknown and that no one has been hurt while damage to the building appears catastrophic(災(zāi)難性的)”這起火災(zāi)的原因還不得而知,對(duì)建筑的破壞是災(zāi)難性的,并沒(méi)有說(shuō)建筑被完全破壞了。故選D。 (2)考查句義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第三段中的“ Its destruction represents a global cultural loss ‘A thousand years of history is being wiped away. ’”可知,它的毀滅代表了全球文化的損失。Mohamed Megdoul說(shuō)道:這很糟糕,一千年的歷史就這樣被破壞殆盡。wipe away“擦掉,破壞殆盡”。由此判斷出這就話顯示了火災(zāi)造成的損失是巨大的。故選B。 (3)考查寫(xiě)作意圖??v觀全文可知,本文是一篇新聞報(bào)道,文章報(bào)道了舉世聞名的法國(guó)巴黎圣母院發(fā)生火災(zāi)的相關(guān)信息。因此本文的目的在于報(bào)導(dǎo)巴黎圣母院遭遇的巨大災(zāi)難。故選A。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解,詞義猜測(cè)和寫(xiě)作意圖三個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇新聞報(bào)道,考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息,同時(shí)根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進(jìn)行分析,推理,從而選出正確答案。5.閱讀理解 We want our children to succeed, in school and, perhaps even more importantly, in life. But the paradox(悖論) is that our children can only truly succeed if they first learn how to fail. Consider the finding that worldclass figure skaters fall over more often in practice than lowlevel figure skaters. At first sight this seems contradictory. Why are the really good skaters falling over the most? The reason is actually quite simple. Top skaters are constantly challenging themselves in practice, attempting jumps that stretch their limitations. This is why they fall over so often, but it is precisely why they learn so fast. Lowerlevel skaters have a quite different approach. They are always attempting jumps they can already do very easily, remaining within their fort zone. This is why they don39。t fall over. In a superficial sense, they look successful, because they are always on their feet. The truth, however, is that by never failing, they never progress. What is true of skating is also true of life. James Dyson worked through 5,126 failed prototypes(原型) for his dual cyclone vacuum before coining up with the design that made his fortune. These failures were essential to the pathway of learning. As Dyson put it: “You can39。t develop new technology unless you test new ideas and learn when things go wrong. Failure is essential to invention.” In healthcare, however, things are very different. Clinicians don39。t like to admit to failure, partly because they have healthy egos(自我)(particularly the senior doctors) and partly because they fear litigation(訴訟). The consequence is that instead of learning from failure, healthcare often covers up failure. The direct consequence is that the same mistakes are repeated. According to the Journal of Patient Safety, 400,000 people die every year in American hospitals alone due to preventable error. Until healthcare learns to respond positively to failure, things will not improve. But let us return to children. One of the major mistakes in education in the 1970s was the attempt to equip children with confidence by giving them lots of successes (setting the bar very low). The consequence was that the ego of kids became bound up with success, and they became unable to take risks and collapsed as soon as they hit a proper challenge. We need to flip(翻轉(zhuǎn)) this approach. In a plex world, failure is inevitable. It is those individuals and institutions that have the flexibility to face up to failure, learn the lessons and adapt which eventually excel(突出).(1)The question raised in the first paragraph is to ________. A.open up a discussion on the topicB.analyze the reason for successC.express the author39。s oppositionD.doubt the abilities of the top skaters(2)Which of the following is the structure of the passage?
