so many fellow french people. but tonight, id like to speak of hope too, he said, announcing the launch of a fundraising campaign.“lets be proud, because we built this cathedral( 大 教 堂 ) more than 800 years ago, weve built it and, throughout the centuries, let it grow and improve it. so i gravely( 严 肃 地 ) say tonight: we will rebuild it together, ”he added.the disastrous fire engulfed( 吞没) the upper reaches of paris towering notre dame cathedral as it was undergoing renovations(翻新).tourists and parisians looked on horrified from the streets below. frances interior ministry said firefighters might not be able to save the structure.the fire collapsed the cathedrals spire(尖顶) and spread to one of its landmark towers everything is burning; nothing will remain from the frame, notre dame spokesman andre finot told french media. the 12th-century cathedral is home to incalculable(不可计算的) works of art and is one of the worlds most famous tourist attractions, due to victor hugos novel the hunchback of notre dame.the cause of the fire was not known, but french media quoted the paris fire brigade(消防队) as saying the fire is “potentially linked to a 6 millioneuro($6. 88 million)renovation

night.28. whatthe main point of emmanuel macrons speech?a. notre dame was the symbol of paris in history.b. it took more than 800 years to build notre dame.c. he was desperate when he made the

probably mean?a. the novel made the notre dame famous.b. the cathedral is repeatedly mentioned in the novel.c. the novel became a bestseller thanks to the cathedral.d. the novel became more mysterious due to the cathedral.31. what is the tone of the author in writing the article?a. disappointed.b. humorous.c.objective.d. critical.dan increasing number of young people tend to rent clothes recently.clothing rental is a hot new industry and retailers are entering this in hopes of attracting newly conscientious shoppers. this past summer alone, urban outfitters, macys, bloomingdales, american eagle, and banana republic have all announced rental services a sure sign of changing times.but is renting fashion actually more environmentally-friendly than buying it, and if so, how much more? journalist and author elizabeth cline explored into this question and she concluded that its not as sustainable as it seems.take shipping, for example, which has to go two ways if an item is rented receiving and returning. cline writes that consumer transportation has the second largest carbon footprint（碳足迹） of our collective fashion habit after manufacturing.she writes, an item ordered online and then returned can emit(排放) 20 kilograms of carbon each way, and up to 50 kilograms for rush shipping. by comparison, the carbon impact of a pair of jeans purchased in physical stores and washed and worn at home is 33.4 kilograms, according to a 2015 study by levis.then theres the burden of washing, which has to happen for every item when returned, regardless of whether or not it was worn. for most rental services, this usually means dry-cleaning, a high-impact and polluting process. 70 percent of us dry cleaners used perchloroethylene, a carcinogenic （ 致 癌 的 ） air pollutant, which can produce harmful waste and air pollution .le tote is the only service that uses wet cleaning for 80 percent of its items and strives to avoid dry cleaning unless absolutely necessary.lastly, cline fears that rental services will increase our appetite for fast fashion, simply because its so easily accessible. theres something called share-washing that makes people engage in more wasteful behaviors precisely because a product or service is shared and thus is perceived as more eco-friendly.renting clothes is still preferable to buying them cheap and pitching them in the trash after a few wears, but we shouldnt let the availability of these services make us complacent（ 自鸣得意的）. theres an even better step and thats wearing what is already in the closet.32. why does the author mention urban outfitters, macys?a. to prove clothing renting is becoming popular.b. to tell us they have joined rental servicesc. to introduce the topic of the passaged. to show us they are companies of big brands33. how does the author develop paragraph 4?a. by analyzing datab. by using examplec. by providing descriptiond. by making comparision34. what can we infer from the passage?a. its a better way to buy clothes cheap and pitch them in the trash than renting clothesb. share-washing is perceived as eco-friendly and wont lead to wasteful behaviors.c. renting fashion is not as environmentally-friendly as we expect.d. consumer transportation has the largest footprint of our collective fashion habit35. whats the structure of the passage?a.b.c.d. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10
