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.【语篇解读】文章主要介绍了乐山大佛的位置、外观、地位及修建过程。1Whats the main idea of this passage?ATo explain the Leshan Giant Buddha briefly.BTo tell us how the Leshan Giant Buddha was built.CTo say where the Leshan Giant Buddha is.DTo mention how the Leshan Giant Buddha came into the World Heritage.【答案】A【解析】主旨大意题。文章主要说明了乐山大佛的概况，包括它的位置、外观、地位及修筑过程，故选A。2According to the passage，the Leshan Giant Buddha_Awas completed when Hai Tong was aliveBdidnt exist nowCplayed a good role in controlling the riverDhas been a World Heritage site for over ten years【答案】D【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。3Hai Tong hoped to build the statue to_Amake his temple more famousBshow respect for the water spiritCprotect the safety of the local peopleDget more people to believe in Buddhism【答案】C【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。4In this passage，Hai Tong can be best described as_AgenerousBcruelCeasy­going Dlong­suffering【答案】D【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”。BThe Taj Mahal(泰姬陵) is a love story，a sad and beautiful one.If it didnt exist，we would easily imagine that the story of its construction was simply a fairy tale.Three hundred years ago，there lived an Indian emperor called Shah Jahan.His wife was a beautiful and bright woman whom he loved greatly.Her title was Mumtazl Mahal：its shortened form Taj Mahal，means “pride of the palace”In the year 1630 this beloved wife of the emperor died.He was so brokenhearted that he thought of giving up his throne.He decided，out of his love for his wife，to build her the most beautiful tomb that had ever been seen.He summoned the best artists and architects from India，Turkey，Persia and Arabia and finally，the design was complete.It took more than twenty thousand men working over a period of 18 years to build the Taj Mahal，one of the most beautiful buildings in the world.The building itself stands on a marble platform 29 meters square and 67 meters high.Towers rise from each of the four corners.The Taj itself soars another 61 meters into the air.It is an eight­sided building made of white marble.The emperor planned to build an identical tomb of black marble for himself on the other side of the river connected by a silver bridge.However，his son put him into a prison in the palace before he could finish，and for the rest of his life，he could only gaze across river at the tomb of his beloved wife.【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了泰姬陵的一些信息。5The whole passage tells us about_Aa beautiful fairy taleBthe love story of Emperor Shah Jahan and his wifeCwhite and black marble tombs made for two emperorsDthe story of the Taj Mahal【答案】D【解析】主旨大意题。虽然文中第一句话“The Taj Mahal(泰姬陵)is a love story.”说泰姬陵是一个爱情故事，但是后三段都在讲泰姬陵的建造，是围绕泰姬陵来说的而非爱情故事，故选D。6The emperors own tomb was designed to be_Ameters high Beight­sidedCblack­coloured Dwhite­coloured【答案】C【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“The emperor planned to build an identical tomb of black marble for himself on the other side.”可知，君主自己的坟墓是黑色的，故选C。7Which of the following statements is NOT true about the Taj Mahal?AIt was completed quickly owing to the efforts of the best artists and workers.BA lot of people took part in the building work.CIt is a magnificent building.DIt is a tomb for the emperors beloved wife.【答案】A【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It took more than twenty thousand men working over a period of 18 years to build the Taj Mahal，”可知建泰姬陵花了很长时间，故A项说法错误。8The emperor_Adied soon after Taj Mahal diedBdied after 1648Cwas beloved by his peopleDwas killed by his son【答案】B【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段中的“In the year 1630 this beloved wife of the emperor died.”和第二段中的“It took.18 years to build the Taj Mahal”可知，皇帝是1648年以后死的，故选B。.完形填空：阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。A boy was walking home from school when he saw a large, tempting (诱人的) apple on one of the branches of an apple tree hanging
