In terms of tourism, Paris is the second most visited city in Europe after London. Everyone knows all about the iconic sights in Paris, such as the Eiffel Tower and Louvre Museum. But what about other facts that your average guide book doesn’t tell you? •Every year the French celebrate the storming of the Bastille prison in Paris on July 14th 1789. Usually the jail held political prisoners but on the day the Bastille was stormed there were only 7 prisoners in the jail, none of political significance, and four of them had been jailed for check-forging(伪造支票). • Paris is called the City of Lights. But it has nothing to do with the power used to illuminate the Eiffel Tower or the streetlights of the city. Lights in this case, means intellectuals, referring to the high-concentration of writers, artists and academics that have always been drawn to the city. •Shakespeare And Company is the most famous English-language bookshop in Paris and it is named after the original store, owned by Sylvia Beach, which published James Joyce’s classic novel Ulysses in 1922. Now it has been a salon for writers and readers in Paris for more than seventy years. • Paris is a city with a long, interesting but sadly a blood-stained history. Paris’ Latin motto is “Fluctuat nec mergitur” meaning “It is tossed by the waves, but does not sink.” More information can be gained from Online travel guide @whatparis.com . 1. What facts about Paris can we learn from the passage? A. Paris is the second most popular tourist city in the world. B. Prisoners in the Bastille were all of political significance. C. Paris is called the City of Lights because of the power of the road lights. D. Shakespeare And Company is a meeting place for writers and readers in Paris. 2. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence? A. Paris has a long and interesting history. B. Paris will never sink into the ocean. C. Parisians are tough in face of challenges. D. Parisians are drowned by huge waves. 3. The passage is most likely taken from _______. A. A news report. B. A travel guide. C. An advertisement. D. An announcement. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。这篇短文主要介绍了巴黎的一些鲜为人知的事实。除了著名的埃菲尔铁塔和卢浮宫等标志性景点外，文章提到了巴黎每年庆祝的巴士底日背后的真实囚犯情况，解释了“光之城”称号的真正含义，介绍了莎士比亚书店的历史及其在巴黎文化圈的重要性，并以巴黎的拉丁格言总结了这座城市悠久而充满波折的历史。最后，提供了获取更多信息的途径。 1. 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“•Shakespeare And Company is the most famous English-language bookshop in Paris and it is named after the original store, owned by Sylvia Beach, which published James Joyce’s classic novel Ulysses in 1922. Now it has been a salon for writers and readers in Paris for more than seventy years.(•莎士比亚公司是巴黎最著名的英文书店，它是以西尔维亚·比奇原来的书店命名的，这家书店于1922年出版了詹姆斯·乔伊斯的经典小说《尤利西斯》。七十多年来，它一直是巴黎作家和读者的沙龙)”可知，莎士比亚公司是作家和读者在巴黎的聚会场所。故选D。 2. 句意猜测题。根据划线句上文“Paris is a city with a long, interesting but sadly a blood-stained history.

In terms of tourism, Paris is the second most visited city in Europe after London.(巴黎是世界上最重要、最有影响力的城市之一。在旅游方面，巴黎是仅次于伦敦的欧洲第二大旅游城市)”可知这篇短文主要介绍了巴黎的一些鲜为人知的事实。除了著名的埃菲尔铁塔和卢浮宫等标志性景点外，文章提到了巴黎每年庆祝的巴士底日背后的真实囚犯情况，解释了“光之城”称号的真正含义，介绍了莎士比亚书店的历史及其在巴黎文化圈的重要性，并以巴黎的拉丁格言总结了这座城市悠久而充满波折的历史。最后，提供了获取更多信息的途径。所以文章出自旅游指南。故选B。 Passage 9 （23-24高一下·浙江额上·期中） If you’re a teen artist, this is the perfect challenge for you.

In terms of tourism, Paris is the second most visited city in Europe after London. Everyone knows all about the iconic sights in Paris, such as the Eiffel Tower and Louvre Museum. But what about other facts that your average guide book doesn’t tell you? •Every year the French celebrate the storming of the Bastille prison in Paris on July 14th 1789. Usually the jail held political prisoners but on the day the Bastille was stormed there were only 7 prisoners in the jail, none of political significance, and four of them had been jailed for check-forging(伪造支票). • Paris is called the City of Lights. But it has nothing to do with the power used to illuminate the Eiffel Tower or the streetlights of the city. Lights in this case, means intellectuals, referring to the high-concentration of writers, artists and academics that have always been drawn to the city. •Shakespeare And Company is the most famous English-language bookshop in Paris and it is named after the original store, owned by Sylvia Beach, which published James Joyce’s classic novel Ulysses in 1922.
