However, the new university and buildings caused poorer families to have to leave the area. This destroyed the Indiana Avenue munity and with it, its jazz culture.” 但在20世紀(jì)50年代，情況發(fā)生了變化?！欢?，新的大學(xué)和建筑使得貧困家庭不得不離開這個地區(qū)。這摧毀了印第安納大道社區(qū)，也隨之摧毀了它的爵士樂文化?？芍D(zhuǎn)折詞but之后描述了爵士樂的衰落，因此推測出劃線詞prospered意為“興盛、蓬勃發(fā)展”。故選D。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“It began to bring back lost cultures such as live music on the Avenue.

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為人們可以很容易地找到新的藝術(shù)和文化。故選C。 （2）考查詞義猜測。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。由此可知劃線單詞意思為“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?wù){(diào)查中，我們要求讀者對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。 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查，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。9．閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。 When first entered, Vanak Restaurant does not look like much of a restaurant, but once the pleasant smells of kabob (烤肉串) hit the senses, you are incapable of calling it anything less. Owned by a local couple, this Persian restaurant has an inviting, homelike atmosphere that many restaurants lack. The space is small with only a few dining tables and nearly no decoration, but the environment is truly charming. Lying in a hardly noticeable street corner, the restaurant still attracts all customers, especially those experienced in the delights of Middle Eastern cooking. A mon sight is that of old Persian men sitting in the corner talking loudly about world topics, watching news events on TV, drinking a black tea known as Persian chai, and reading local Persian newspapers all the while trying to finish off their plates piled with food. The variety of food at the restaurant is limited, but the amount of each dish is fairly large. Most of the meals can serve two people and are under $10, so not only is it affordable but practical as well. The food especially appeals to healthconscious eaters because each dish is very healthy, made with limited fat and oil and served straight off the grill (烤肉架). The main dish that the restaurant is popular for is its kabobs, which are different styles of grilled meat. One delicious and extremely healthy dish is the Joojeh Kabob, which is made of grilled chicken pieces served with either rice or bread. Another great kabob is the Chelo Kabob, a kabob consisting of grilled beef. Although the restaurant is small, the atmosphere and the food is delicious. It is a place that should not be overlooked.（1）When first entering the restaurant, one can find that it ________. A.has
