People have often worked together to collect and save the worlds art treasures(珍宝). Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre in Paris, France. The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries. It is the biggest art museum in the world. The Louvre has not always been a museum. The first building was a fort(堡垒)with high walls and a round tower. It had a moat(护城河)to keep out the enemies. Over the years, the number of buildings around the castle grew. By 1350, the castle no longer needed a fort. The Louvre became a palace home for French kings and queens. During times of peace, new treasures were brought in. During the days of war, many treasures were stolen, and the buildings were damaged. When Francisbecame King of France in 1515, he brought in many artists from other countries. One of the artists was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy. Da Vincis Mona Lisa(蒙娜丽莎)is the best known painting in the museum today. In 1793, the Louvre became a public museum, just as it is now. It is a place where art treasures are kept for everyone to enjoy. Every year millions of people from all over the world e to the Louvre to see the masterpieces. 【语篇概述】本文讲述了法国博物馆卢浮宫的形成和发展历史。1.

This may seem a strange question to Africans and Asians, who tend to think of all white men as Europeans. But the British, when they are in Britain, do not regard themselves as Europeans. The Europeans, to them, are those rather excitable foreigners from the other side of the English Channel, who have never learnt how to speak English. Europe is “the Continent”: a place full of interest for British tourists, but also the source of almost all the wars in which Britain has ever been involved. Thus, although geographically speaking Britain is a part of Europe, yet the fact that it is a separate island that has made its people feel very, very insular(孤立的). They feel, and in many ways are, different from the rest of Europe and they sometimes annoy continental nations by failing to support them, or even to understand them, in time of need. Where did the British people e from? This is an extraordinary interesting question, since they are a mixture of many different races, and all these races invaded Britain at various times from Europe. Nobody knows very much about Britain before the Romans came during the first century B. C. , but there had been at least three invasions(入侵)before that. The first of these was by a dark-haired Mediterranean race called the Iberians. The other two were by Celtic tribes: firstly the Gaels, whose descendants are the modern Scots and Irish, some of whom still speak the Gaelic language; and secondly the Britons, who gave their name to the whole island of Britain. These were the people whom the Romans conquered. The Romans gave the Britons a good deal of their civilization, but they never settled in Britain in very large numbers, so the British race survived. 【语篇概述】本文是说明文, 讲述了英国人的产生和发展历史。5. The purpose of the passage is to. A. talk about EuropeansB. discuss the origin of British peopleC. argue for the superiority of British peopleD. pare the Europeans with Africans and Asians【解析】选B。主旨大意题。由第一段第一句“Are the British people Europeans? ”和第二段可知B项正确。6.

A. most people think white people are EuropeansB. there are many Africans and Asians living in EuropeC. white men are Europeans in the eyes of Africans and AsiansD. the British people think of themselves as Europeans【解析】选C。推理判断题。由第一段第二句“This may seem a strange question to Africans and Asians, who tend to think of all white men as Europeans. ”可知, 对非洲人和亚洲人来说, 白人都是欧洲人。7. Why do the British people feel very insular? A. They are different from those people in the continent. B. They sometimes fail to support the continental countries in time of need. C. They are separated geographically from the continent. D. They are considered very difficult to understand. 【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第一段倒数第二句“it is a separate island that has made its people feel very, very insular. ”可知C项正确。8. It can be inferred from the passage that. A. Europeans are those who are unable to speak EnglishB. those who invaded Britain came from the other side of the English ChannelC. Britain is a place full of interest for those excitable foreignersD.
