Hutongs are commonly found in the cities of North China, but they are at risk. Beijing is currently believed to have fewer than 1,000 Hutongs, most of which are near the Forbidden City. Only 60 years ago, the number was 3,250. In the old districts of Dongcheng and Xicheng, some people will be asked to move from Hutong houses to avoid further damage to the ancient architecture.“On average more than 100,000 people visit the Forbidden City during the National Day holidays. The visits put pressure on the protection of cultural relics，” said the director of the Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Planning, adding that Hutongs should be protected from human damage.The government focused on how the protection plans were carried out and how the management of cultural heritage worked. The head of the Xicheng district government, said the area has 182 cultural relics, many of which were built as far back as the Yuan Dynasty (12711368). “The most efficient way is to decrease the local population to reduce the possibility of causing harm to the heritage.”“Each community has been required to report the status of its cultural heritage, especially Hutongs, and any actions to damage the heritage will be punished.”No one knows for sure how many Hutongs will be left in the coming 100 years.语篇解读：北京的胡同已不再是小小的街道，它承载着北京几百年的历史和文化。本文主要介绍了北京胡同的历史、现状及政府的保护措施。1How many Hutongs have disappeared in the past sixty years in Beijing?AFewer than 1,000.BAbout 2,000.CMore than 3,000. DOver 4,000.解析：选B细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Beijing is currently believed to have fewer than 1,000 Hutongs, most of which are near the Forbidden City. Only 60 years ago, the number was 3,250.”可知，北京胡同的数量由60年前的3 250 条减少至现在的不到1 000条，共减少了大约2 000条。故选B项。2According to Paragraph 3, which of the following is the main reason for the damage to cultural relics?APeoples activity.BResidents attitude.CCommunities behavior.DThe governments policy.解析：选A推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The visits put pressure on the protection of cultural relics”和“Hutongs should be protected from human damage”可知，文化遗迹遭到破坏的主要因素是人们的活动。3Which of the following is a useful way to protect Hutongs?ATo attract more visitors.BTo forbid everyone from getting close to it.CTo increase the local population.DTo punish anyone damaging it.解析：选D细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“. any actions to damage the heritage will be punished.”可知，加大对破坏胡同行为的惩罚是保护胡同比较有用的措施，故选D项。4What is the authors attitude toward Hutongs?AOptimistic. BPessimistic.CUninterested. DAppreciative.解析：选B推理判断题。根据最后一段“No one knows for sure how many Hutongs will be left in the coming 100 years.”可知，作者对胡同未来的命运深感担忧，持悲观态度。BThe French word renaissance means rebirth.It was first used in 1855 by the historian Jules Michelet in his History of France, then adopted by historians of culture, by art historians, and eventually by music historians, all of whom applied it to European culture during the 150 years spanning 14501600.The concept of rebirth was appropriate to this period of European history because of the renewed interest in ancient Greek and Roman culture that began in Italy and then spread throughout Europe.Scholars (学者) and artists of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries wanted to restore the learning and ideals of the classical civilisations of Greece and Rome.To these scholars this meant a return to human as opposed to spiritual values.Fulfillment in life as opposed to concern about an afterlife became a desirable goal, and expressing the entire range of human emotions and enjoying the pleasures of the senses were no longer frowned_on.Artists and writers now turned to secular (不朽的) as well as religious subject matter and sought to make their works understandable and appealing.These changes in outlook deeply affected the musical culture of the Renaissance period how people thought about music as well as the way music was composed, experienced, discussed, and circulated.They could see the architectural monuments, sculptures, plays, and poems that were being rediscovered, but they could not actually hear ancient music although they could read the writings of classical philosophers, poets, essayists, and music theorists that were becoming available in translation.They learned about the power of ancient music to move the listener and wondered why modern music did not have the same effect.For example, the influential religious leader Bernardino Cirillo expressed disappointment with the learned music of his time.He urged musicians to follow the example of the sculptors, painters, architects, and scholars who had rediscovered ancient art and literature.The musical Renaissance in Europe was more a general cultural movement and state of mind than a specific set of musical techniques.Furthermore, music changed so rapidly during this century and a half though at different rates in different countries that we cannot define a single Renaissance style.5Thinkers of the Renaissance were seeking a rebirth of_.Aspirituality in everyday lifeBcommunication among artistsCa cultural emphasis on human valuesDreligious themes in art解析：选C细节理解题。根据第一段第五、六句可知，文艺复兴时期的思想家寻求的是对人的价值的重视。6The underlined phrase “frowned on” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “_”Agiven up Bforgotten aboutCargued about Ddisapproved of解析：选D词义猜测题。frown on为固定搭配，意为“对皱眉头；对不认同”。因此D项正确。7Which of the following is TRUE about the music of ancient Greece and Rome?AIts effect on listeners was described in a number of classical texts.BIt was played on instruments that are familiar to modern audiences.CIt expressed more different ideals than classical sculpture, painting and poetry.DIt had the same effect on Renaissance audiences as it had when originally performed.解析：选A推理判断题。根据第二段第二、三句可知，文艺复兴时期虽然人们可以看到重新发现的历史性的建筑、雕塑、戏剧和诗歌，却听不到古音乐，但是他们可以看到经翻译后的古典哲学家、诗人作家和音乐理论家的书面作品。故A项为正确答案。8Bernardino Cirillo was disappointed with the music of his time because_.Ait did not contain enough religious themesBit had little emotional impact on audiencesCit was not complex enough to appeal to musiciansDit was too dependent on the art and literature of his time解析：选B推理判断题。从第二段最后的描述中可以看出，Bernardino Cirillo对他那个时代音乐非常失望，敦促音乐家向古代雕塑家、画家、建筑师和学者学习，重新发掘经典音乐，这说明他认为他那个时代的音乐缺少打动人心的力量。.阅读七选五Eyes Can SpeakMuch meaning can be conveyed, clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak._1_ In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not for too long. And if he senses that you are staring at him, he may feel uncomfortable.The same is true in our daily life. If you are stared at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. _2_ Eyes do speak, right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. _3_ If a man stares at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to look away from her, his intentions are obvious.He wishes to attract her attention and let her know that he is admiring her.However, when two people are engaged in a conversation, the speaker will only look into the listeners eyes from time to time to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking. _4_ If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking as if trying to control you, you will feel awkward. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim. He wrongly believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. _5_ Actually, eye contact should be made based on specific relationships and situations.AOn the contrary, it will give him away.BDo you have such kind of experience?CThats what normal eye contact is all about.DActually, continuous eye contact is limited to lovers only.EAfter all, nobody likes to be stared at for quite a long time.FBut things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex.GIf nothing
