【正文】 one 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 manmade lake were constructed and the city was left at the bottom of this new body of water.”可知當時中國政府決定他們需要一個新的水電站，就建立了一個大壩和人工湖,然后這座城市就被留在了水底。故選C。 （2）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第二段中的“After the initial findings, international archaeologists and a film crew then recorded the preservation of the lost ruins.”可知在的發(fā)現(xiàn)之后，國際考古學(xué)家和一個攝制組記錄下了失落的遺址的保存（情況）。由此推斷前面那些發(fā)現(xiàn)是最初的，故選A。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“It39。s incredible to think that after all this time, the structure still remains intact and we could one day visit it.”可知令人難以置信的是，經(jīng)過這么長時間，這座建筑仍然完好無損并且我們有一天可以參觀它。也就是說石城最難以置信的部分就是它在水下這么長時間還保持完好，故選C。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“Now, it sits at depths ranging from 85 feet to about 103 feet”可知石城現(xiàn)在在水下85英尺到103英尺。石城在水下很深的地方，所以參觀石城需要潛水，所以最有可能去游玩的是那些喜歡潛水的人，故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(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，考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。 8．閱讀理解 After shopping for deals in stores on Black Friday, or online on Cyber Monday, Americans and people worldwide are preparing for newly popular Giving Tuesday.
