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 manmade lake were constructed and the city was left at the bottom of this new body of water.”可知當(dāng)時(shí)中國政府決定他們需要一個(gè)新的水電站,就建立了一個(gè)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(cè)。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(gè)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(xì)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(shí)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(shí)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(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)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。 9.閱讀理解 Looking to have a rest after the working days?Check out to see if the following events are in your area!Northside FestivalDescription: The music festival consists of artists, such as Sidney Gish and Orion Sun, free cake for everyone!
