文章大意：这是一篇议论文。卢浮宫在经历2017年游客数量骤减后，2018年游客数量又迎来了小幅增长。游客数量回升虽然给卢浮宫带来了好名誉，但也造成了问题，导致工作人员罢工，游客滞留宫殿外。

1．A.Moreover　　　　　　 B．However

C．Finally　　 D．Eventually

解析：句意：巴黎的卢浮宫再一次被评为世界最受欢迎的博物馆，然而，这对它来说或许不是件好事。根据下文的“The Louvre is suffocating (令人窒息的)，”the workers union said in a statement. “The public has increased by more than 20% since 2009, but the palace has not grown，”(卢浮宫令人窒息，自2009年来参观的公众上涨了20%，但是这个宫殿没有变大)可知，下文陈述的内容是卢浮宫不好的一面，故此处前后句用转折关系。故选B项。

2．A.splendid　 B．skeptical

C．tough　 D．sad

解析：句意：巴黎的卢浮宫再一次被评为世界最受欢迎的博物馆，然而，这对它来说或许不是件好事。splendid美好的；skeptical怀疑的；tough棘手的，困难的；sad悲伤的。故选A项。

3．A.promise　 B．rule

C．record　 D．law

解析：句意：卢浮宫在2018年打破了它的记录，接待了1 020万游客，并在世界上参观人数最多的博物馆排名中拔得头筹。2018年接待的游客最多，所以此处用“打破记录”符合文义。故选C项。

C．visitors 　　 D．volunteers

解析：博物馆对应游客，符合逻辑。故选C项。

5．A.acquiring　 B．suffering

C．blaming　 D．proving

解析：句意：卢浮宫游客的小幅增长证明对于工作人员来说人还是太多，接待和保安人员因大批游客涌入而举行的罢工影响了卢浮宫本周的开放时间。acquiring获得；suffering遭受；blaming责备；proving证明。联系上下文，游客的增长反映了游客过多工作人员过少的问题，选项中和“反应”最接近的是prove(证明)。故选D项。

6．A.strikes　 B．quarrels

C．fights　 D．contests

解析：根据“hit opening hours throughout the week”(影响了开放时间)可推测出，工作人员罢工。故选A项。

7．A.flooding　 B．jumping

C．crawling　 D．slipping

解析：flooding涌；jumping跳；crawling爬；slipping滑。此处用“flood”表示游客数量很多，符合语境。故选A项。

11．A.queued　 B．dined

C．helped　 D．served

解析：句意：游客们整整一周都在大楼外排队，没有预约的人被拒之门外。queued排队；dined否定；helped帮助；served服务。前文提到博物馆闭馆，那么没有进入的游客只能在外排队等候。故选A项。

12．A.turned up　 B．turned over

C．turned away　　 D．turned on

解析：句意：游客们整整一周都在大楼外排队，没有预约的人被拒之门外。turned away“把某人拒之门外，不让某人进入”符合句意。故选C项。

13．A.die out　 B．pay off

C．fade away　 D．go on

解析：句意：尽管与工作人员的紧张关系仍在继续，但博物馆的最低营业额是健康的。故选D项。

14．A.healthy　 B．funny

C．tiny　 D．cozy

19．A.concert　 B．video

The architecture of Singapore is futuristic to the point where visitors may feel like they have stepped onto a science fiction film. The Gardens by the Bay is one of the most visually striking creations that it has to offer, consisting of large parkland dotted with strange but wonderful structures.

Barcelona

Every year millions of people flood into this colorful Spanish city to see the unique works of famed architect Antoni Gaudi.

(2021·成都市摸底)

When visitors to the Palace Museum feel a need to sit down for a cup of tea or find a bathroom without a long line, they soon will be able to turn to their smart phones for the information they need.

This modern-day solution comes thanks to an agreement signed on Friday by the museum and Huawei Technologies Co. , the telecommunication giant, to build a “smart network” using 5G technology. Under the agreement, 5G Wi-Fi signals will cover the Palace Museum, China's imperial palace from 1420 to 1924, and the branch museum of the institution under construction in northwestern Beijing.

“It's essential to always stay close to the latest technology to better serve the public，” said Shan Jixiang, former curator (馆长) of the Palace Museum. Shan said there is still much room for improvement in the handling of a huge number of cultural relics, such as when the priceless painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival is exhibited again in the future. When it was last exhibited in 2015, visitors stood in long lines until 3 am to get a glimpse. The museum ended up preparing instant noodles to serve the hungry visitors. “I don't want that scenario to reoccur，” Shan said. “Our operation can be done in a more scientific way.”

The new system will also make use of the closed-circuit television cameras that are set up all over the Palace Museum to safeguard the museum's precious relics. More than 1.86 million of them are housed at the museum, which recorded nearly 20 million visits from the public last year, topping all museums worldwide. “How can we make sure no single visitor who might have evil ideas threatens these treasures？” Shan said. “After adopting the Internet of things, we can instantly detect any motion involving the artifacts to prevent such threats.”

The 5G network also will be used to improve remote consultation through webcams, which will facilitate conversations with overseas scholars to jointly find the best answers to restoration and preservation issues.

文章大意：文章介绍了故宫博物院与华为公司合作，意在应用5G最新技术提升故宫博物院管理水平的相关情况。

4．What do we know about the Palace Museum？  C 

A．Its visitors won't have to queue up for the bathroom.

B．It served as China's imperial palace for over 600 years.

C．It will cooperate with Huawei Technologies Co. to promote its management.

D．It will set up advanced television cameras for the purpose of safety.

解析：考查理解具体信息的能力。根据文章第二段中的“thanks to an agreement...to build a ‘smart network’ using 5G technology”及第三段中的“Shan said there is still much room for improvement in the handling of a huge number of cultural relics”可知故宫博物院与华为公司合作是为了提升其管理水平，故选C。A项曲解了文章第一段的意思，并不是说以后在故宫博物院去洗手间不用排队，原文只是叙述以后游客在故宫博物院可以通过智能手机网络系统给自己带来方便；B项与文中的叙述不符；D项中强调出于安全的考虑，要安装先进的电视摄像机，这与文章第四段中所提及的新的网络系统可以使现有的闭路监控系统更好地发挥作用不符。

5．What does the underlined word “scenario” in Paragraph 3 mean   B  .

A．Disaster.　　 B．Situation.

C．Operation. 　　 D．Exhibition.

解析：考查理解词汇的能力。根据画线词所在句可知，画线词指第三段中的“The museum ended up preparing instant noodles to serve the hungry visitors”所描述的情况，因此画线词与B项的含义最为接近。

6．What are the figures in Paragraph 4 intended to show about the Palace Museum？  D 

A. It is better than any other museums.

B．It has a rich collection of cultural relics.

C．It enjoys great popularity all over the world.

D．It faces a tough challenge of protecting relics.

解析：考查理解目的的能力。根据文章第四段中的“More than 1.86...worldwide”及“How can we make sure no single visitor who might have evil ideas threatens these treasures”可知，数字说明了文物保护的艰难。

7．What can be a suitable title for the text？  D 

A．A Feast for Museum Visitors

B．A Revolution in Exhibition

C．A Protector of Cultural Relics

D．A Connection Between Old and New

解析：考查理解文章主旨要义的能力。通读文章可知，本文讲述了故宫博物院与华为公司合作，应用5G技术提升故宫博物院管理水平的相关情况，这是有着悠久历史的故宫与先进的技术的结合，故选D。

(2021·合肥市质检)

Somesuggested raising people's aware of preserving our culture andmaking people fall in love with them. For example, we couldconduct creative activity like discovery tours and culture shows tohelp people have better understanding of our culture. Others thinksome courses should be offered in schools, which goal was to helpstudents learn more about our customs, ways of life and so on.And in my view, what was mattered was that everyone should feelproud in our own culture. Also, we should attempt to passing ourfine culture down from generation to generation.

答案：

There was a lively discussion held in my class last Friday. Itwas  about protecting the fine Chinese culture. Somesuggested raising people's  of preserving our culture andmaking people fall in love with . For example, we couldconduct creative  like discovery tours and culture shows tohelp people have better understanding of our culture. Others some courses should be offered in schools,  goal was to helpstudents learn more about our customs, ways of life and so on.And in my view, what was mattered was that everyone should feelproud  our own culture. Also, we should attempt to  our fine culture down from generation to generation.

解析：

1．形容词和副词混用。分析句子结构可知，此处修饰谓语动词，应用副词形式，所以将main改为mainly。

2．形容词和名词混用。分析句子结构可知，名词所有格后面应该用名词形式，所以将aware改为awareness。

3．此处代指our culture，应用单数形式，所以将them 改为it。

4．名词单复数误用。根据本句中的“like discovery tours and culture shows”，以及该词前面无限定词修饰可知，此处指的活动不止一种，应该用可数名词的复数形式，所以将activity改为activities。

5．冠词漏用。have a better understanding of...为固定用法，意为“对……有更好的理解”，所以在have后面加a。

6．动词时态误用。根据文章第一句“There was a lively discussion held in my class last Friday”可知，本篇文章主要讲述的是上周五课堂上进行的讨论，故此处叙述的事情发生在过去，时态应用一般过去时，所以把think改为thought。

7．定语从句关系词误用。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，在从句中作定语，先行词为some courses，所以将which改为whose。

8．动词语态误用。分析句子成分可知，what与mattered之间为主谓关系，不用被动语态，故删除was。

9．介词误用。feel proud of...为固定搭配，意为“为……感到骄傲”，所以将in改为of。

10．动词形式误用。attempt to do sth.为固定搭配，意为“努力做某事”，所以将passing改为pass。
