A disastrous fire surrounded Notre Dame（巴黎圣母院）completely and destroyed large parts of the Gothic(哥特式的) architecture on Monday.

“Notre Dame is our history, our literature; part of our spirit, the place of all our great events, our wars, our liberations, the center of our lives" French President Emmanuel Macron told reporters in front of the still burning Paris landmark and promised to rebuild Notre Dame Cathedral.

“Notre Dame is burning, and know the sadness and this tremble felt by so many fellow French people. But tonight, I’d like to speak of hope too, "he said, announcing the launch of a fundraising campaign.

“Let’s be proud, because we built this cathedral more than 800 years ago, we’ve built it and, throughout the centuries, let it grow and improve it. So I gravely say tonight: we will rebuild it together, ”he added.

The disastrous fire engulfed(吞没) the upper reaches of Paris’ towering Notre Dame Cathedral as it was undergoing renovations(翻新)。

Tourists and Parisians looked on horrified from the streets below. France’s Interior Ministry said firefighters might not be able to save the structure.

The fire collapsed the cathedrals’ spire(尖顶) and spread to one of its landmark towers "Everything is burning; nothing will remain from the frame, "Notre Dame spokesman Andre Finot told French media. The 12th-century cathedral is home to incalculable works of art and is one of the world’s most famous tourist attractions, immortalized by Victor Hugo’s 1831 novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

The cause of the fire was not known, but French media quoted the Paris fire brigade(消防队) as saying the fire is “potentially linked" to a 6 million—euro($6. 88 million)renovation project on the church’s spire and its 250 tons of lead. Officials opened an investigation as Paris police said there were no reported deaths. Some 400 firefighters were battling the fire well into the night.

1.What Emmanuel Macron said mainly shows that____________

2.Which of the following is true according to the text?

A.Notre Dame Cathedral was burnt down entirely.

B.The structure was well saved by the firefighters.

3.What does the underlined part probably mean?

The popular streaming service Netflix announced plans to exclude (排除) tobacco use from any of its new shows and movies that target younger audiences, specifically those below the age of 15. According to media reports, the decision comes from pressure from Truth Initiative, a large non-profit organization aiming to get rid of tobacco and make its use “a thing of the past”.

Smoking is a bad habit and no parents want their kids to start smoking. As such, excluding the vice (坏习惯) from television shows and movies young people watch makes good sense. I’ll acknowledge that Netflix’s decision to exclude smoking is a good one — but it’s a wildly inconsistent standard. What about other vices? For example, the use of bad language?

As parents of three young boys, my wife and I are trying to expose our children to good things. We want to encourage them to grow up to become responsible men who see the value and potential in every person. We want to see them avoid the landmines that so often entrap young people today.

Sadly, typical television shows and movies contain material that’s the exact opposite of that. It’s often said that companies only produce what people will consume — and there’s some truth in such a claim. But the organization I work for has long had an online site that helps parents know about what's in a movie, show or music album. We don’t tell you whether you should watch or listen — we simply let you know what it’s about — and let you decide. It’s our most popular site, attracting millions of visits each month.

Netflix might be surprised how many new customers they would win if they started producing content that parents actually want instead of themes that regularly stand in opposition to the values of the millions of moms and dads like me who want to see our kids accomplish more in life rather than simply avoiding the smoking habit.

1.Why did Netflix plan to cut smoking from youth-targeted content?

A.Because of appeals from parents.

B.Because of the influence of media reports.

C.Because of requests from young audiences.

D.Because of pressure from a tobacco control organization.

2.What are “the landmines” in Paragraph 3?

A.Bad habits. B.Comfort zones.

C.Unrealistic dreams D.Improper friendships.

3.What does the online site mentioned in Paragraph 4 do?

A.It teaches parenting skills.

B.It promotes youth programs.

C.It advertises movies and shows.

D.It serves as an entertainment guide.

4.What does the author think of Netflix’s decision to exclude tobacco use?

A.It is helpless.

B.It is far from enough.

C.It is against popular values.

D.It is a warning to tobacco makers.

高二英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

No one knows why we sleep, but it’s certain that we need to. People who are prevented from sleeping begin to suffer obvious effects after a few days—they think less clearly, and they fall asleep during the working hours; some may have hallucinations(幻觉).

There are no rules about sleep. Generally speaking, grown-ups sleep about 7 and a half hours each night and probably more than 60 per cent get between seven and eight hours. But perhaps eight per cent are quite happy with 5 hours or less, and four per cent or so find that they want ten hours or more. If you feel all right, you’re probably getting enough sleep. The important thing is not to worry how much other people get—their needs may be different. Exercise doesn’t seem to increase the need for sleep—office workers, for example, sleep for about as long as people doing physically active work.

Children sleep more than grown-ups—perhaps 14 to 18 hours soon after birth, going down to grown-up levels by early teenage. Sleep patterns also tend(倾向) to be different in the elderly, who may sleep less at night than they did when younger, find sleep getting more broken, and often make it a rule to sleep during the daytime.

1.According to the passage, some people are unable to think clearly because ___________ .

A. they have hallucinations

B. they feel sleepy during the working hours

C. they don’t have enough sleep

D. they are certain to be kept from going to bed

2.Which of the following is TRUE?

A. All grown-ups must have at least eight-hour sleep.

B. Most of grown-ups sleep for seven or eight hours.

C. Quite a few people need only 5 hours or less for them to sleep.

D. No grown-ups sleep more than ten hours.

3.Whether you have got enough sleep is judged by__________.

A. how many hours you have slept

B. how many hours you need to sleep

C. whether you do exercise and physical work

D. whether you feel fresh and energetic

4.According to the passage, a boy of 14 years old sleeps__________.

A. as long hours as a grown-up

B. much longer hours than a grown-up

C. for 14 hours each night　　

D. for less than 8 hours per night
