【正文】 use on practical grounds. Local tongues foster higher levels of school success, higher degrees of participation in local government, more informed citizenship, and better knowledge of one39。s own culture, history, and faith. Government and relief agencies can also use local languages to spread information about industrial and agricultural techniques as well as modern health care to diverse audiences. Development workers in West Africa, for example, have found that the best way to teach the vast number of farmers with little or no formal education how to sow and rotate crops for higher yields is in these local tongues. Nevertheless, both regionalization and globalization require that more and more speakers of local languages be multiliterate.（1）In paragraph 1, the author quoted a mayor39。s word to show that globalization ________.

The ancient city of Shi Cheng (also known as Lion City), located in the province of Zhejiang, has been submerged underwater for 53 years. Shi Cheng was founded about 1,300 years ago in a valley surrounded by the Five Lion Mountains. When the Chinese government decided they needed a new hydroelectric power station (水力發(fā)電站)， a dam and manmade lake were constructed and the city was left at the bottom of this new body of water. Now, it sits at depths ranging from 85 feet to about 103 feet. Much like the Machu Picchu ruins in Peru, this underwater city remained forgotten until some renewed interests lead to its rediscovery. Qiu Feng, a local official in charge of tourism thought about utilizing Shi Cheng for entertainment on the lake and as a destination for diving clubs. On September 18, 2001, scuba divers made their first attempt underwater. We were lucky. As soon as we dived into the lake, we found the outside wall of the town and even picked up a brick, Qiu told Guangzhou Daily in an interview. More research was conducted, and it was discovered that the entire town was intact (1881), including wooden beams and stairs. After the initial findings, international archaeologists and a film crew then recorded the preservation of the lost ruins. Looking at surface of the lake, dotted with over 1,000 islands, you39。d never know that an entire city was below. It39。s incredible to think that after all this time, the structure still remains intact and we could one day visit it. Until then, Shi Cheng will continue to remain inconspicuously submerged.（1）Why was Shi Cheng covered by water according to the passage? A.Because the city has a long history.B.Because the government could attract more tourists by doing so.C.Because the government needed to build a power station where it was.D.The mountains surrounding the city led to the consequence.（2）What does the underlined word initial mean in paragraph 2? A.OriginalB.GreatC.WonderfulD.Amazing（3）What is the most unbelievable part of Shi Cheng according to the passage? A.It has something to do with Machu Picchu ruins in Peru.B.No one was interested in the lost city for a long time.C.Its structure keeps perfect in the water for a long time.D.There are over 1,000 islands protecting the lost city.（4）Who will most probably e to visit the lost city? A.Someone who likes swimming.B.Someone who likes diving.C.Someone who likes climbing mountains.D.Someone who likes taking pictures.【答案】 （1）C（2）A（3）C（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，浙江古城石城在多年前被埋在水下，后被人們發(fā)現(xiàn)。最令人驚嘆的是整座城市保存得很完整。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“When the Chinese government decided they needed a new hydroelectric power station (水力發(fā)電站) , a dam and man
