9、 Buddha is a statue of Maitreya (弥勒大佛) in sitting posture.The Buddha is located in Sichuan Province,facing Minjiang,Qingyi and Dadu rivers.In December,1996,the Buddha was included by UNESCO on the list of the World Heritage (世界遗产名录).The statue was begun in the year 713 in the Tang Dynasty,and finish
10、ed in the year 803.The Buddha is 71 meters high.The 8-meter-long instep (脚背) is big enough for one hundred people to sit on and the 28-meter-wide 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 ma
11、ny 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.
12、When some local government officials tried to get this amount of money,Hai Tong said that they could get his eyeballs but not the money raised for the Buddha.After he dug out his eyeballs,these officials ran away scared.The project was half done when Hai Tong passed away,and two of his disciples (门徒

14、s passage?A.To introduce the Leshan Giant Buddha briefly.B.To tell us how the Leshan Giant Buddha was built.C.To say where the Leshan Giant Buddha is.D.To mention how the Leshan Giant Buddha came into the World Heritage.答案A解析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项。2How did Hai Tong get the money for t
15、he Buddha?A.By calling for donation.B.By working on the river.C.By asking the government.D.By selling his eyeballs.答案A解析根据第三段第四句可知,海通和尚是通过化缘的方式来筹集塑大佛的资金。3According to the passage,the Leshan Giant Buddha .A.was completed when Hai Tong was aliveB.doesnt exist nowC.played a good role in controlling the
16、 riverD.has been a World Heritage site for almost twenty years答案D解析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将近二十年了。4Hai Tong hoped to build the statue to .A.make his temple more famousB.show respect to the water spiritC.protect the safety of the local peopleD.get more people to believe in Buddhism答案C解析根据第三段第二、三句可知,

18、anada to the north,and Mexico2the south.Although the United States3a big country,it is not the largest in the world.In 1964,its4was over 185,000,000.When this5 first became a nation,after6its independence from England,it had thirteen states.7was represented on the American flag by a 8.All the states
19、9in the eastern part of the continent.As the nation grew towards the 10,new states were added and new stars 11on the flag.For a long time there were 48 stars.In 1959,however,two12stars were added to the flag,representing the new states13Alaska and Hawaii.Sometimes it is said that the14are “the only

21、lish and that its culture and customs are more like those of England19 those of any20country in the world.1A.Which B.Whose C.Their D.Its答案D解析与the United States相对应的形容词性物主代词为its而不是their,从而排除their。由于本句不是定语从句,故排除A项和B项。2A.byB.nearC.toD.from答案C解析由上文的“to the north”可以推出墨西哥在美国南部,应该用to。3A.areB.isC.wereD.was 答
22、案B解析本句讲的是通常情况,应用一般现在时;此处主语表示单数概念,故谓语应用第三人称单数形式。4A.peopleB.areaC.sizeD.population 答案D解析由后面的数字可推知,主语指的是“人口”,并非指“人们”、“面积”和“大小”。5A.landB.stateC.continentD.world答案A解析上文提到美国的地理位置,此处land在此强调疆域;而state表示“州”,continent表示“大洲”,world表示“世界”,均不符合句意。分句意思是“当这片土地首次成为一个国家时”。6A.foundingB.being givenC.havingD.winning 答案D
23、解析由横线后的“its independence from England”可以推知,应该是从英国的控制中赢得独立,即答案为winning。7A.OneB.SomeC.EachD.Every答案C解析one侧重数量的“一个”;some的意思是“一些,某个”;each的意思是“每一个”;而every为形容词,不能单独使用。从上文看,句意为“在美国国旗上一颗星代表一个州”,据此可排除A、B和D项。8A.starB.moonC.satelliteD.planet答案A解析根据“As the nation.on the flag.”一句可以推知,国旗上每颗星代表一个州。star意为“星”;moon 意
24、为“月亮”;satellite意为“卫星”;planet意为“行星”。9A.wereB.wasC.areD.is答案A解析句子的主语为“All the states”,因此可把表示单数的was和is排除。再根据本段讲述的是美国的历史,因此时态为过去的时态,从而确定答案为were。10A.eastB.northC.southD.west答案D解析上文提到所有的州都在东部,可以推出,国家逐渐地向西部发展,与the eastern part形成比较。11A.disappearedB.appearedC.paintedD.printed答案B解析根据上下文可以推出,每当有新的州加入,国旗上都要增添新的
25、星。disappear意为“消失”;appear意为“出现”;paint意为“画画”;print意为“印刷”。12A.leastB.fewerC.moreD.little答案C解析more除了译成“更多”之外,还有“又、另外的”之意,多置于数字的后面。此处表示“另外的两颗星”,与前面的48 stars形成比较。13A.andB.betweenC.ofD.for答案C解析of可以表示其前后的词或词组是同位关系,如:the city of Beijing(北京市),因此答案为C项。14A.AmericansB.IndiansC.EnglishmenD.Frenchmen答案B解析下文提到大多数美国
26、人都是英国人的后裔,因此可以推知此句说只有印第安人才是唯一真正的美国人。15A.whoB.thoseC.theyD.whom答案A解析通过分析句子结构可知空格后为一个定语从句修饰people,缺少一个关系代词。16A.inB.ofC.onD.with答案A解析本题考查介词在具体语境中的运用。in great numbers意为“大批地”,在结构上与first并列。17A.EuropeB.AsiaC.EnglandD.Africa答案C解析由下文提到的美国的语言为什么是英语及它的文化习俗更有可能是英国的文化习俗等可以知道,不能选A项Europe,因为欧洲不仅有英语,还有法语、德语等。18A.re
27、asonB.resultC.conditionD.situation答案A解析下文提到的“美国的语言和文化习俗与英国的非常相似”的原因正是上文提到的“大多数美国人是英国人的后裔”,因此该空用reason,构成for that reason(因为那个原因)。本句意思是“正是因为那个原因,美国的语言是英语,美国的文化习俗更像英国的文化习俗”。19A.withB.thanC.forD.without答案B解析根据本句中的“more like .”可推知,此处应用than。20A.otherB.elseC.othersD.some答案A解析使用比较级时,在比较状语中应注意将自身排除在外;else在意义
28、上相当于other,但else常修饰不定代词和疑问词。六、语篇填空Are you facing a situation that looks impossible to fix?In 1969,the pollution was terrible along the Cuyahoga River near Cleveland,Ohio.It 1(be) unimaginable that it could ever be cleaned up.The river was so polluted that it 2(actual) caught fire and burned.Now,years
