UNIT10CONNECTIONSⅠ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲的是我们在保护文化遗产时要如何做出正确的选择。1.D细节理解题。根据第一段的“However,theyarebeingendangeredatanalarmingratebyrisingseas(Venice),pollution(theTajMahal)andovertourism(AngkorWat).”可知,正遭受游客过多的困扰的是吴哥窟。2.A词义猜测题。根据第三段的“Humankindhasansweredthesedifficultquestionsdifferentlyindifferentplaces.”可知,第二段的“suchthornyquestionsas”后所列举的问题是难题,因此画线词thorny的意思是“困难的”,和tough意思相近。3.C细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“LiketheFrauenkirche,NotreDame,alandmarkinParis,whichwasdestroyedbyfirein2019,isbeingrebuiltascloseaspossibletohowitwasbefore,includingusingtheoriginalandpoisonousmetalleadfortheroof.Thatchoicewascontroversial”可知,作者不喜欢重建巴黎圣母院的材料的选择。4.D推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Whatwewilldoistocontinuetotakecareofimportantculturalheritagesites,asamatterofsignificancetohumanity’spast,presentandfuture.”可推断出,作者在文中似乎要传达的信息是文化遗迹是人类之间的重要纽带。【语篇导读】本文是一篇新闻报道。中国西南部著名的三星堆遗址的发现表明,该地区的古蜀国文明与玛雅文明有相似之处。文章介绍了蜀国和玛雅文明的相似之处,以及保护这两个遗址的共同挑战和交流的重要性。5.C细节理解题。根据第三段可知,蜀国文明和玛雅文明的相似之处是文化符号。6.A细节理解题。根据倒数第二段可知,保护这两个遗址的共同挑战是潮湿的天气。7.C推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,桑托斯强调文化知识交流的重要性。故选C项。8.B推理判断题。根据第一段以及文章的大意可知,文章可能来自报纸。Ⅱ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者三岁的女儿Becky(贝基)救了一只受伤的狼的故事。1.C由下文的“‘Mama!’shecried.‘Cometoseemynewdoggy!’”可知,小女孩应该是“兴奋地”冲进屋里喊作者去看看她的新狗。故选C项。2.A由上文的“Ifollowedheroutintothebushes”和下文的“sittingonherheelsandheldinherlapwastheunmistakableheadofawolf”可知,作者跟着小女孩走进灌木丛,“分开”挡住视线的枝条,才看见女儿所说的狗实际上是一只狼。故选A项。3.D由下文的“Thereshewas,sittingonherheelsandheldinherlapwastheunmistakableheadofawolf!”可知,作者看到女儿搂在腿上的是一只狼,突然的“恐惧”使作者僵住了。故选D项。4.B由上文的“Thereshewas,sittingonherheelsandheldinherlapwastheunmistakableheadofawolf!”和下文的“mythroatstilltightened.”可知,作者看到女儿搂在腿上的是一只狼,她吓呆了,嘴巴发干。故选B项。5.B由上文的“Isteppedcloser.”和下文的“bareditsteeth”“Don’tbeafraid.”“hislegwaswo
