Ⅴ.阅读理解

Pingyao, in the center of Shanxi Province,  is a famous historic cultural city of China and a  world cultural  heritage site (世界文化遗址). It's 90 kilometers south of Taiyuan on the Fen River.

People lived in Pingyao during the New Stone Age. Its long period as a county government seat has left Pingyao with lots of historic buildings and sites, with a 2,700－year history. Ninety－nine of them are under government protection, including Zhengguo Temple, Shuanglin Temple and Pingyao Ancient City.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, businessmen organized commercial (商业的) groups that did business nationwide. Shanxi Province had some of the most important ones and Pingyao was their center. In 1823, a store, known as Rishengchang (Sunrise Prosperity), traded in bank checks rather than in silver or gold coins. It was the beginning of modern Chinese banking. Branch banks were soon set up in major cities in China and other parts of Asia, leading to great development in Pingyao. Its Lacquer ware (漆器) became well known.

In Pingyao Ancient City are many traditional houses and commercial buildings, 3,797 of which are protected and more than 400 of which are in good condition. Not only do the houses in Pingyao show Shanxi's history and culture, but this large number is valuable for studying its history, customs, and ancient buildings and art. Most of these houses are still used as homes and shops of local people.

In 1997, Ancient Pingyao City was listed in World Heritage List as “World Culture Heritage Site”．

1．What does the underlined word “them” (in the 2nd paragraph) refer to?

A．Historic buildings and sites.

B．The three temples.

C．The county government seats.

D．The 2,700－year history.

2．Which of the following about Pingyao is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A．Its location (位置)．

B．Its tourism.

C．Its business.

D．Its history.

3．During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Pingyao was a leading center in ________.

A．agriculture  B．raising cattle

C．commercial trade  D．making gold coins

4．If you want to know about the history of banking in China, you'll visit ________.

A．Sunrise Prosperity  B．Zhengguo Temple

C．a lacquer ware store  D．a commercial house

答案与解析：

1．解析：词义猜测题。them是代词，指代上文提到的复数名词，上文提到的复数名词应是historic buildings and sites。因此，选A项。

2．解析：细节理解题。文章的第一段提到了它的位置；第二段提到它的历史；第三段提到了它的商业。文章没有提及它的旅游业。因此，答案为B项。

答案：C

4．解析：细节理解题。由第三段的三、四句“In 1823, a store, known as Rishengchang (Sunrise Prosperity), ...It was the beginning of modern Chinese banking.”可知Rishengchang (Sunrise Prosperity)是中国现代银行业的起源地。因此，选A项。

答案：A

Ⅵ.七选五阅读

When  you have a question about something, where do you go? For many people the answer is simple. They go online to a search engine (引擎) like Google or Yahoo. __1__ A business and international development consultant (顾问) in California, Rose Shuman, wanted to find an answer to this question, too. Her way of settling this problem is Question Box.

Question Box is a service that provides answers—free of charge—for people who cannot search the Internet directly. __2__ Question Box began in India. People use a metal call box with a push－to－talk button to connect to an operator. As Rose Shuman explains, you just push a button and that will connect you directly to operators who are sitting in front of computers, and speak your language. __3__ They'll look them up and translate the answers right back for you.

In April, Question Box set foot in Uganda. Forty workers with mobile phones connect villagers to call centre operators in Kampala. __4__ They wear T－shirts that say “Ask Me”．

__5__ So Question Box teamed up with a local technology company to store information on a local server. That way, the researchers in Kampala can quickly search the database (数据库) for answers.

A．Question Box is very popular in many countries.

B．You can ask them any kind of questions you want.

C．It is easy for them to get the information they need.

D．The workers go around telling people about the service.

E．But the service in Uganda is shown to be slow and not reliable.

F．But what about people who may have no way to get on the Internet?

G．They might not be able to read, or they simply have no chance to use the Internet.
