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.

Until the 1990s coffee was rarely served in China except at luxury hotels aimed at foreigners. When Starbucks opened its first outlet there in 1999, it was far from
clear that the country’s avid tea-drinkers would take to such a different-and usually more costly- source of caffeine. Starbucks tried to attract customers unused to coffee’s bitter taste by promoting milk and sugar-heavy concoctions(调和) such as Frappuccinos.
But coffee has become fashionable among the middle class in China. Starbucks now has about 3, 800 outlets in China- more than in any other country outside America. Statista, a business-intelligence portal(门户网站), says the roast coffee market in China is growing by more than10 %year. Starbucks and its rivals see big opportunities for expanding there.
So too, however, do home-grown competitors. A major new presence is Luckin Coffee, Beijing- based chain. Since its founding less than two years ago, it has opened more than 2,300 outlets. On May 17th Luckin’s initial public offering on the Nasdaq stockmarket raised more than $570m,giving it a value of about $4bn.
Luckin’s remarkable growth is sign of change. No longer do Chinese consumers see coffee as such a luxury. Most of Luckin’s outlets are merely kiosks where busy white-collar workers pick up their drinks, having ordered them online. Super-fast delivery can also be arranged through the company’s app. Independent coffee shops are springing up. The growth is striking given the country’s reputation for its tea-drinking culture where many residents like to relax in teahouses sipping tea served gracefully.
But the two markets are different. The teahouses tend to cater to older people
who like to spend long hours playing mahjong and gossiping. At the coffee shops it is rare to see anyone over 40. Young people use them for socialising, but much of their interaction is online -sharing photos of their drinks and of the coffee-making equipment. An option on the Chinese rating app Dianping allows users to search for wanghong (\"internet viral\") coffee houses: ones with particularly photogenic decor(照片装饰) Where better to sip and We Chat?
28. How did Starbucks try to appeal to Chinese consumers?
A. By reducing the price slightly.
B. By introducing the benefits of coffee.
C. By making coffee taste not so bitter.
D. By promoting its products effectively.
29. What does Luckin Coffee’s growth suggest?
A. People tend to like coffee’s bitter taste.
B. People’s views on coffee-drinking have changed.
C. People in China can afford coffee now.
D. Tea is no longer part of Chinese culture.
30. What does the underlined word \"kiosks in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Places where people can drink beer.
B. Restaurants where food can be taken away.
C. Shops aimed at people who like drinking coffee.
D. Small shops or stores where newspapers and drinks are sold.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Coffee is taking off in China.
B. Tea-drinking is not popular.
C. Coffee or tea, which do you prefer?
D. Coffee has become people’s favorite in China.

Older women who walk a little over three kilometers each day might live longer than less active women of the same age, a new study suggests.
Many Americans hoping to stay healthy set a daily goal of 10, 000 steps, or
about eight kilometers. They often have this goal because they are wearing electronic devices which set that target, note researchers in the United States. Their findings appeared recently in the publication JAMA Internal Medicine.
But it is not clear how much intensity(强度)or speed matter when counting the health benefits of every step, the researchers write. They add that 10,000 steps per day might not be the right goal for everyone.
For the study, researchers observed 17,000 women, all in their early 70s. They asked the women to wear accelerometers for at least four days. Accelerometers are small devices that measure the number of steps and the intensity of movement The researchers followed up with the women much later, around 4. 3 years later, on average. Since the beginning of the study, 504 women had died. Compared to women who took no more than 2, 718 steps daily, the women who took at least 4,363 steps per day were 41 percent less likely to die.
“Even a modest amount of steps is associated with lower death rates, \"said I-Min Lee, the lead writer of a report on the study. \"The rate of stepping did not matter in these older women: it was the number of steps that mattered.
The study had a few limitations. For example, the researchers only measured women’s movements once, at the start of the study period. It is possible that the women’s behaviors changed over time. Still, the results are \"good news for older adults who may have difficulty walking at faster paces, \"said Keith Diaz, a researcher at Columbia University. He was not involved in the study.
“Any walking is better than nothing, \" Diaz said by email. \"With even small amounts of walking, your risk of death will be sharply reduced \"For those who have difficulty walking, other research shows that any form of aerobic activity provides health benefits,\" he added. \"Swimming, bicycling or any form of activity that is continuous in nature will provide health benefits.
32. What conclusion can we come to from the text?
A. People who walk about 10,000 steps can live longer.
B. 10,000 steps per day might be the right goal for people.
C. The more steps one walks per day, the longer life he may live.
D. The number of steps is important for a long life among older women.
33. How is paragraph 4 mainly developed?
A. By giving examples.
B. By comparison.
C. By listing statistics.
D. By explaining reasons.
34. What can be leaned from what Diaz said?
A. People who walk fast will get more health benefits.
B. If people have a habit of walking, the risk of death will be reduced.
C. People with walking difficulty can not benefit from activities
D. Activities such as swimming and bicycling are not as beneficial as walking.
35. Where is the text most likely from?（ ）
A. A medical journal.
B. A news report.
C. A magazine about fashion.
D. A traveler brochure.

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了咖啡进入中国市场的历史以及现状。
28.细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句 Starbucks tried to attract customers unused to coffee’s bitter taste by promoting milk and sugar-heavy concoctions可知，星巴克通过加牛奶和多糖调和物的方式吸引更多顾客来尝试这种不习惯的咖啡的苦味。也就是说他们试图让咖啡不是那么苦。故选C。
29.推理判断题。根据第四段第一和第二句可知瑞幸咖啡的快速增长是一个改变的标
志，意味着中国消费者不再把咖啡当做是奢侈品。也就是说中国人对咖啡的看法发生了改变，故选B。
30.词句猜测题。根据第四段该词后内容可知，在这个地方忙碌的白领员工能拿他们之前网上定好的咖啡。并且由下文中的“Independent coffee shops are springing up.（独立的咖啡店正在兴起）”可知，划线单词意味着不是独立的咖啡店，那可以推测就是像书报亭一样的地方。故选D。

32.主旨大意题。根据全文，尤其第5段的内容“Any walking is better than nothing”可知，每天走的步数对身体健康很重要。并且第而段明确指出1000步这个目标不是适用于每个人的。所以选项AB都不正确。选项C（走的越多越长寿）描述太偏激，也不正确。故选D。
33.推理判断题。根据第四段内容看出，该段主要通过列举一系列数字来说明一项研究结果。A. By giving examples 举例；B. By comparison 对比；C. By listing statistics列数据；D. By explaining reasons 解释原因。故选C。

文章来源的推断题在高中英语中常见。主要有根据文体和题材特点推断文章来源或根据文章内容和结构推断文章来源。例如如果文中出现日期、地点或通讯社名称，我们可以推知文章来自于报纸，如果文中出现网络用词（click 点击；online在线；web网络等）可以推知文章来自于网站，例如本篇文章中的第四题就属于推断文章来源题目，由文章涉及的话题（live longer，health，death）以及文章中科学研究的举例，可以推知这篇文章出自于医学杂志。这类题目同学们多积累这些词汇，特别是还要积累选项中的词汇（避免下次选项不认识），解题准确度会提升很多。
