These cities are centers of music and dance, museums, and theaters. Here are four of them where you can find inspiration in the arts, starting with the top spot. Rome, Italy At its peak, the Roman Empire extended over nearly two million square miles of land across Europe, Asia Minor and North Africa. Today, that history is on display everywhere. The city39。s main attractions are famous not because of tourist advertisements, but because they are really so impressive. No wonder it39。s known as the Eternal City: You could spend forever here and find new artistic and cultural treasures every day. Paris, France Hemingway famously called Paris a moveable feast, but wherever you go while in the city, there is always something to see, hear, taste or feel. With some 150 museums, Paris doubles as an art history class, offering the very best of the discipline across centuries and styles. London, United Kingdom London is inspiration and setting for the rise of Shakespeare, Dickens, Orwell and Eliot and the breeding ground for all those iconic (標(biāo)志性的) bands: The Kinks, The Clash and The Stones. London is also Banksy39。s favorite canvas, home to more than 1,000 galleries, and the kind of place where you can spend a whole day in a single museum and still be ready for more when it opens the next morning. Vienna, Austria As we all know, Western music would be unrecognizable without Austria39。s capital, which nurtured many famous musicians. It39。s also the site of the Vienna Secession, a revolutionary art movement founded in 1897 by Gustav Klimt. Visitors today can see the fruits of all that creativity in the city39。s 100 – odd museums.（1）Why is Rome regarded as the Eternal City? had an important role in history. history can be seen everywhere. can easily find new art and culture. can spend money well there.（2）What does the underlined word nurtured in the last paragraph mean? ....（3）Which column can we probably find the text? ....【答案】 （1）C（2）A（3）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了四個(gè)世界上最受喜愛的藝術(shù)和文化城市。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù) Rome, Italy部分中的“No wonder it39。s known as the Eternal City: You could spend forever here and find new artistic and cultural treasures every day.”可知難怪它被稱為永恒之城：你可以永遠(yuǎn)在這里度過，每天都能發(fā)現(xiàn)新的藝術(shù)和文化寶藏。由此可知羅馬被視為永恒之城是因?yàn)槿藗兛梢院苋菀椎卣业叫碌乃囆g(shù)和文化。故選C。 （2）考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)Vienna, Austria部分中的“As we all know, Western music would be unrecognizable without Austria39。s capital”可知，如果沒有奧地利的首都，西方的音樂將是不可識(shí)別的，因此推斷畫線句句意：奧地利誕生了許多著名的音樂家。由此可知?jiǎng)澗€單詞意思為“產(chǎn)生，誕生”，故選A。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“In our annual Readers39。 Choice Awards survey, we asked our readers to rate their favorite cities in the world for arts and culture.”可知在一年一度的讀者選擇獎(jiǎng)?wù){(diào)查中，我們要求讀者對(duì)世界上最喜愛的藝術(shù)和文化城市進(jìn)行排名。以及文章內(nèi)容主要介紹了四個(gè)藝術(shù)和文化城市，由此可推知文章能夠在“藝術(shù)”一欄找到。故選B。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測(cè)和推理判斷三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇文化類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(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。6．閱讀理解 Americans gave nearly $300 billion away last year. Do you know the reason? Beyond the noble goals of helping others, it is that giving will make them happier. It is a fact that givers are happier people than nongivers. According to the Social Capital Community Benchmark Survey, a survey of 30,000 American households, people who give money to charity are 43% more likely than nongivers to say they are very happy about their lives. Similarly, volunteers are 42% more likely to be very happy then nonvolunteers. The happiness difference between givers and nongivers is not due to differences in their personal characteristics, such as ine or religion. Imagine two people who are identical in terms of ine and faith, as well as age, education, politics, sex, and family circumstances, but one donates money and volunteers, while the other does not. The giver will be, on average, over 40 percentage points more likely to be very happy than the nongivers. A number of studies have researched exactly why charity leads to happiness. The surprising conclusion is that giving affects our brain chemistry. For example, people who give often report feelings of euphoria, which psychologists have referred to as the Helper39。s High. They believe that charitable activity produces a very mild version of the sensations people get from drugs like morphine and heroin. Of course, not only does giving increase our happiness, but also our happiness increases the possibility that w
