The Leshan Giant Buddha is a statue of Maitreya (弥勒大佛) in sitting posture.The Buddha is located in Sichuan Province, facing Min River, Qingyi River, and Dadu River. In December, 1996, the Buddha was included by UNESCO on the list of the World Heritage (世界遗产录).
The statue was begun in the year 713 in the Tang Dynasty, and finished in the year 803. The Buddha is 71 meters high. The eightmeterlong instep (脚背) is big enough for one hundred people to sit on and the 28meterwide shoulder is large enough to be a basketball playground.
A monk called Hai Tong is connected with the Buddha forever. At that time, wild waters brought out many boat accidents and people just put the disaster down to the presence of a water spirit.So Hai Tong decided to make a statue beside the river thinking that the Buddha would bring the water spirit under control.After 20 years' begging from door to door, he finally collected enough money for the plan.When some local government officials tried to get this amount of money, Hai Tong said that they could get his eyeball but not the money raised for the Buddha. After he dug out his eyeball, these officials ran away scared. The project was half done when Hai Tong passed away, and two of his disciples (门徒) continued the work. After a total of 90 years' hard work, the project was finally completed.
Having such a long history, the Buddha was nearly destroyed by the wind and rain.The Chinese government began the repairing work in 1963 under the instruction of experts from UNESCO.

B.To tell us how the Leshan Giant Buddha was built.
C.To say where the Leshan Giant Buddha is.
D.To mention how the Leshan Giant Buddha came into the World Heritage.

答案:A
2.According to the passage, the Leshan Giant Buddha________.
A.was completed when Hai Tong was alive
B.didn't exist now
C.played a good role in controlling the river
D.has been a World Heritage site for over ten years
解析:细节理解题。由第一段最后一句可知乐山大佛被列为世界文化遗产已有十多年了。
答案:D
3.Hai Tong hoped to build the statue to________.
A.make his temple more famous
B.show respect to the water spirit
C.protect the safety of the local people
D.get more people to believe in Buddhism
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段第二、三句可知,因这里的水经常给人们带来沉船事故,海通和尚想塑一尊大型佛像以制服水神,保人们平安。
答案:C
4.In this passage, Hai Tong can be best described as________.
A.generous B.cruel
C.easygoing D.longsuffering
解析:推理判断题。海通和尚为塑大佛,20年辛辛苦苦四处化缘,为保全资金不惜自剜其目,最佳描绘他的词应是longsuffering“坚韧的”。

B
The Harbin Ice and Snow Festival has been held every year since 1963. It had to stop for a number of years during the Cultural Revolution, but it was restarted in 1985.
Harbin City is one of the sources of ice and snow culture in the world. It is located in Northeast China and receives the cold winter wind from Siberia. The average temperature in summer is 21.2 degrees Celsius and -16.8 degrees Celsius in winter. It can be as cold as -38.1 degrees Celsius in winter.
Officially, the festival starts from January 5th and lasts one month. However, the exhibitions often open earlier and last longer, weather permitting (允许). The ice sculptures range from decorations using modern laser (激光) technology to more traditional ice lanterns. There are Ice Lantern park touring activities held in many parks in the city. Winter activities at the festival include Yabuli Alpine skiing, winterswimming in the Songhua River and the Ice Lantern Exhibition in Zhaolin Garden.
The Harbin festival is one of the world's four largest Ice and Snow Festivals, along with Japan's Sapporo Snow Festival, Canada's Quebec City Winter Carnival and Norway's Ski Festival.
The 2007 festival had a Canadian theme, in memory of Canadian doctor Norman Bethune. It also won a Guinness Record for the largest snow sculpture: 250 metres long, 28 feet high and using over 13,000 cubic metres of snow. The work consisted of two parts:“Niagara Falls” and “Crossing the Bering Strait”.
语篇解读:哈尔滨的冰雪节闻名于世界,本文对哈尔滨的冰雪节作了简单的介绍。

A.started in 1963 and ended in 2007

答案:B
2.—What has Jack been doing recently?
—I don't know, ________ care.
A.nor I do B.nor do I

解析:nor放在句首要用部分倒装,排除A、D两项;由于care为实义动词,变为倒装句时要加助动词do,故B项正确。
答案:B
3.She was always patient with her children, and therefore ________ to be a good mother.
A.proved B.was proved

5.________ that the way people spend their holidays has changed a great deal in the past ten years.
A.It is reported B.What is reported

答案:A
6.Firefighters were called when a gas tank ________ in the back yard of a home on Beihai Road.
A.explored B.exploited
C.exploded D.exposed
解析:考查动词词义辨析。句意:北海路上一住宅的后院里的油罐爆炸了,消防队员被叫来灭火。这四个词词形相似,但意义不同。explore“探索”;exploit“开采”;expose“暴露”。只有explode有“爆炸”之意。
答案:C
7.The manager rather than the workers ________ responsible for the delay of the project.
A.were B.are
C.to be D.is
解析:句意:应为项目延误负责的是经理而不是工人。rather than连接的两个并列成分作主语时,谓语动词的人称和数应根据其前的成分来定,the manager表示单数概念,故D项切题。
