But after five arduous years of painstaking restoration efforts, it triumphantly reopened on December 7, 2024. More than 2,000 dedicated artisans and experts were engaged in this herculean task, with a staggering cost of nearly 700 million euros. The reopening ceremony was a magnificent spectacle. The French president, accompanied by his wife, and the archbishop ceremoniously opened the cathedral's door as the bells chimed. A touching tribute film paid homage to all those who had valiantly participated in the rescue and restoration. Macron eloquently expressed profound gratitude. The newly reconstructed spire, an exact replica of the 19th-century design, now stands tall, crowned with a resplendent gilded rooster whose wings seem to symbolize the cathedral's phoenix-like rebirth, and within it, a scroll bearing the names of 2,000 restoration heroes. The restoration was a two-phase journey: initial emergency repair and subsequent formal restoration. The great organ, painstakingly cleaned and tuned, once again fills the air with its majestic tones. Despite the reopening, the work is far from over; some aspects will endure until 2030. It received an outpouring of donations from around 150 countries and regions. France resolutely chose to restore it to its former glory. The cathedral remains freely accessible to all, though the treasury housing precious relics has a separate charge. The public is encouraged to make online reservations and visit in accordance with a schedule that will progressively revert to pre-fire norms. 1.How long did the restoration of Notre-Dame de Paris take?

Passage 2 字数：348 关键词：韩游客周末来中国 来源：21st Century Thanks to China’s new visa-free policy and the alluring charm of weekend excursions, a growing number of young South Koreans are choosing to spend their weekends exploring the wonders of China. Korean industry insiders predict that the current “quick in and out” travel fad among the young mainly features short trips, typically spanning 3 days 2 nights or 4 days 2 nights. A South Korean travel agency reported a staggering 178% increase in bookings for trips to Shanghai between November 1 and 21. What makes Shanghai such a magnet for young South Koreans? Firstly, convenient transportation plays a crucial role. Flights from Seoul to Shanghai usually take a mere two hours, with round-trip fares often less than 2,000 RMB, providing ideal conditions for a short, action-packed “special forces style” weekend getaway. Secondly, “finding a taste of home away from home” is another significant aspect. While many think of Wangjing in Beijing and Chengyang in Qingdao as the main gathering spots for South Koreans in China, Shanghai also has its own “Korean Street”. Hongquan Road in Hongqiao Town, Minhang District, stretching over 1,000 meters, is home to hundreds of South Korean supermarkets and small shops. Here, one can relish in classic Korean delicacies like fried chicken, beer, barbecue, and army hot pot, all prepared in their original, authentic flavors. Young-jun KIM, the South Korean Consul General in Shanghai, once mentioned in an interview that he had worked in many places around the world, but not every place could offer authentic South Korean cuisine. He remarked with a sense of relief that Shanghai's numerous South Korean restaurants assuaged his homesickness. Moreover, there seems to be a mysterious affinity between South Koreans, who seem to have a penchant for iced Americanos, and Shanghai, a city with a thriving coffee culture. All in all, it is entirely understandable why Shanghai, a bustling and vibrant metropolis, has emerged as the new favorite weekend haunt for South Korean tourists. It combines convenience, cultural familiarity, and a touch of cosmopolitan allure, making it an irresistible destination for those seeking a quick yet fulfilling overseas adventure. 1． What is the main reason for the increase in the number of young South Koreans traveling to China? A. The lower cost of living in China. B. China's new visa-free policy and the charm of weekend getaways. C. The better job opportunities in China. D.

Because it offers cheap shopping opportunities. C. Because of its convenient transportation and the presence of a “Korean Street” with familiar food. D. Because it has a more relaxed visa policy for South Koreans. 3． What can we infer from the text about the relationship between South Korean culture and Shanghai? A. South Korean culture has had a major impact on Shanghai's architecture. B. There is a certain cultural connection and compatibility, such as in food and coffee culture. C. Shanghai has completely adopted South Korean cultural norms. D. South Korean tourists only come to Shanghai for its cultural differences. 答案 1　 B. The text clearly states that thanks to China's new visa-free policy and the appeal of weekend getaways, an increasing number of young South Koreans are spending their weekends exploring China. 2　 C. The text mentions that flights from Seoul to Shanghai are short and cheap, and there is a “Korean Street” in Shanghai with various Korean food, which are the reasons for its popularity. 3　 B. It is mentioned that there is a “taste of home” with Korean food in Shanghai and a possible connection in coffee culture, indicating a certain cultural connection and compatibility.
