In a city in Italy, however, waterways make up the primary commuting routes. The city of Venice is best known for its canals. Unfortunately, this beautiful city of flatbottomed boats (Gondolas), and churches is sinking and sinking fast.Known as the “Queen of the Adriatic”， Venice is situated on 120 islands formed by canals between the mouths of the Po and the Piave Rivers. And even the bits of firm ground have rather boggy (泥泞的) foundations and all this is slowly getting eroded (腐蚀)The existing ground water table and the global climate changes that have raised sea levels by several inches, are proving its disaster for the city. As seaice melts and water levels rise, floods in Venice are getting from bad to worse. And buildings are already feeling the impact of this phenomenon, with their foundations literally being shaken. Take one of the most famous landmarks of Venice for example, the 900yearold St. Marks Basilica, now leans slightly to the left.Experts warn that the city may sink an additional eight inches in the next 50 years. Many scared residents have already started to move to drier regions in Italys mainland. To deal with the flood threat, a group of Venetians, called the New Venice Consortium, has come up with “Project Moses”a dam project named after the biblical figure, Moses. The idea is to place underwater gates at different points where the Adriatic Sea water enters the lagoon (环礁湖). When the water is low, the gates will remain open and as the water rises, the gates will close, preventing the seawater from flooding Venice. However, some people disagree with this idea. Environmentalists point out that the gates would have to remain closed most of the time and seawater will not be able to move in and out of Venice. As a result, the lagoon water will become stagnant (停滞的), harming the fish and plants that live there. Until a viable solution is found out, Venice, it seems, would continue to be threatened by floods. Truly, a case of being caught between the devil and the deep sea!一、单句语法填空1is ringing2.isdoing3.is writing4are coming5.am taking6.is starting/starts7.are moving8.arestaying 9is arriving10.are waiting二、阅读理解1.C 段落大意题。第一段主要讲述大人们在儿时学会的东西，即使多年不复习还是可以记得很清楚。故选C。2.D 推理判断题。作者在解释超量学习法则的时候，运用了乘法口诀和考试前突击学习的例子。故选D。3.A 细节理解题。根据because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.“因为这是我们儿时超量学习的另一个结果。”故选A。4.B 细节理解题。最后一段解释考试之前的突击学习。By cramming，a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination，but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned.“通过突击学习，学生可以通过考试，但是很快就会忘记所学的东西。”这种方式仅适用于考前，故选B。三、阅读七选五1.G2.F3.E4.A5.D四、概要写作Venice is facing the danger of sinking under water on account of the rise of seawater.
