It also raises questions about whether European governments are doing enough to keep up and care for such buildings.Some people say the fire last month was a wake-up call, not just for Europe, but the whole world. Large fires have long robbed humanity of knowledge, art and treasures. One example is the fire at the famous library of Alexandria in northern Egypt about 1700 years ago.In 2015, the German engineering company Siemens found that Scotland had about 10 serious fires a year, while England lost at least twelve listed buildings a year. In Germany, 70 historic buildings have been destroyed since 2000.And all too often, fires happen while old buildings are being repaired. Experts say that what is needed is continuous attention and maintenance (维护). These steps, if taken, could help avoid the need for major repairing work.But regular attention and maintenance costs money.Part of the problem comes from the shortage of money provided by governments after the 2008 financial crisis (金融危机). As a result, governments are increasingly looking for rich companies to keep up these historic buildings.We do need more money, but this is a shared duty for governments, businesses and citizens across Europe, said an officer from the European Union.Some say world-famous monuments like Notre Dame are the driving force behind tourism and should get more respect. People have noticed the importance of such respect.Historic buildings are a gold mine(矿). You cannot explore it and then just leave the mine and go to another one. It is something you really have to value, the officer said.（1）After the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral, more attention is paid to _. A . European governmentsB . famous librariesC . engineering companiesD . the old buildings（2）According to the passage, one of the biggest enemies of cultural treasures is _. A . robbersB . firesC . moneyD . tourists（3）These steps in Paragraph 4 refer to (指代) _. A . attention and maintenanceB . careful repairing workC . enough respect from peopleD . serious financial crisis（4）The officer thinks _ should accept the duty of caring for these famous monuments. A . citizens around the worldB . the European governmentsC . rich European businessesD . the whole European society（5）The purpose of writing this article is to ask everyone to _. A . value historic buildingsB . donate plenty of moneyC . pay attention to big firesD . avoid exploring mines3. （10分） One day a poor student walked in a town.

My 12-year-old daughter is in tears.I have so take a test tomorrow. I dont understand any of it, she cries out. After shouting and shutting her door, she calms down enough to go through her notes. The following dry I ask her how the test went and the just says OK,I got a nine.Wow. well done! I say, before she finishes with But I never get a ten!According to James, this obsession with getting top marks has been a bad development, which encourages people to think of education in terms of work and money. To test this, I asked my daughter why she was so worried about her tests. She looked at me as if I was thick. Well, if I dont get good grades, I wont be able to afford nice things like a car and stuff.I was quite surprised, because I dont consider myself a pushy parent. But James suggests and it leaves students feeling failures even if they are very bright. He points to the Danish system（体制）of education as a better model. Creating happy citizens who have good social skills is seen as more important than high achievements at school or the needs of business.For me, I cannot remember the last time I had to work out the area of a circle, recite a Shakespeare poem or grammar rules, yet I have lived a happy life. What I really needed to learn at school was how to make polite conversations, or how to avoid getting into debt or how to develop good personality.This is in fact similar to what Oliver James really has in mind. And he is looking for schools where students are encouraged to find and follow their own interests, something more like Tongjon. Tongjon has been developed in some Korean private schools. It is quite different from the more rigid system of learning things by heart that is used in Korea, and indeed in many other school systems around the world.As the Russian poet Pushkin said, Inspiration(灵感）is needed in geometry(几何学）just as much as in poetry ,and inspiration does not come from endlessly revising for tests or getting worried about them .（1）What does the writer probably think of his/her daughter?A . She sets herself a goal too high to reach.B . She should be more polite to her parents.C . She is hard-working but not very bright.D . She takes her grades much too seriously.（2）What does the word obsessionin paragraph 3 mean?A . A plain and unavoidable factB . A satisfied and very proud state.C . A practical and widely-used wayD . A fixed and often unreasonable idea.（3）What can we infer from the passage?A . Social skills are as important as high grades.B . Interest in grades can shake self-confidenceC . The writer regrets not having studied hard at school.D . Danish educational system is for very smart students.（4）The writer wants to tell us that_.A . learning happily is the key to self-development.B . top marks may be helpful to increase ones interest.C . tests should be improved to give children inspiration.D . education should meet ones needs for word and money.三、 单词拼写 (共2题；共11分)5. （1分）We really want her to live a long，healthy l_ 6. （10分）阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。One day, a lobster(龙虾) met a hermit crab(寄居蟹)in the deep sea.
