The Greeks were truly democratic,often without a single leader but instead governed by a group?of men chosen by the people．The Romans were semi-democratic．They had a governing Senate,but?the political power was mostly or completely in the hands of a single emperor．

Only in cooking and eating habits are the two cultures really similar．Both peoples ate very well?indeed:lots of fish,fresh vegetables and fruits,healthy meals,holding at the same time long?discussions and tasting excellent wines．
In fact,it would probably be fair to say that they both loved life in their warm,
sea-oriented?climates,and they both lived a full life．

[考点]主旨题。结合整篇文章可知，作者在论述防震建筑。
【听力原文】
After the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had good news to report: the damage and death toll could have been much worse. [37] More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an earthquake of similar intensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25,000 victims.
Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the city’s highway. In addition, changes made to the construction methods in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city’s buildings and highways, [39] making them more resistant to quakes.
Despite the good news, engineers today are determined to come up with [39] a new design that would offer even greater security to buildings during earthquakes. In the past, people used [38] steel and rubber, materials that bend without breaking to make buildings resistant to earthquakes. The new design would install computers in the building and the computers would help the buildings adjust itself during the earthquake. Such buildings would be called smart buildings and could be very expensive to build. However, [39] they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.
Questions 37 to 39 are based on the passage you have just heard.
37. How many people were killed in the earthquake in Los Angeles in 1994?
38. What did people use in the past to make buildings resistant to earthquakes?
39. What is the passage mainly about? -

第22题：
问答题Read the passage carefully and answer Questions 1 to 5. Answer each question in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.Preserving the Past Today, many old buildings are being torn down so new ones can be built. But some older buildings are both beautiful and interesting. They need to be saved. The city of San Antonio, Texas, was settled by the Spanish in the early 1700s. Later, it was governed by Mexico. If you go to San Antonio, you can see many missions or churches that were built by the Spanish. All were started between 1720 and 1731. You can also find other buildings from early periods in the history of Texas. Some of these buildings are still standing because a group of women worked to save them. In 1924, the city of San Antonio was going to cement over the San Antonio River and turn it into an underground sewer. A group of women felt that the beauty of San Antonio should be preserved. They formed a club to keep the river from being destroyed. The women saved the river. Then they worked together to preserve several old buildings that were going to be torn down. In the 1930s, the women saved an old mill and granary. They raised money to buy these buildings by giving tea parties and selling cakes. More recently, the ladies in San Antonio have worked to save a Spanish convent. They could not afford to buy the whole building, so they paid for only half. Even so, the women are still looking for other old buildings to save. They want people to know about the city’s long and interesting history. Questions: 1．What is the passage mainly about? 2．What does the word “ones” in Sentence 1 refer to? 3．What can you see if you go to San Antonio? 4．The word in Paragraph 3 that means savedis ________. 5．Why have the women worked to save the river and old buildings?正确答案：
1.Saving interesting old buildings. / Conservation of old towns / cities / San Antonio. 文章主要讲述了圣安东尼奥城市的妇女保护古建筑这一状况。
2.Buildings. 通读句子可知,old buildings和new ones是并列关系,属于同类事物,因此可知ones指代的是前面的buildings.
3.Many missions or churches built by the Spanish. 由第二段第三句可得出答案。
4.Preserved. save和preserve都表示“维护,保存”。
5.正确hey want people to know about San Antonio’s history. 由文章最后一句可得出答案。解析： 暂无解析 -
第23题：

Bthere were fewer small houses than tall buildings
Crapid development took place in the city center
Dmany tall buildings could be found in the city
正确答案： D解析：
词语释义题。题目中问“第二段‘The city grew outward instead of upward’是什么意思？”从文章后面的句子“Los Angeles never built many tall apartment buildings. Instead, people live in houses with gardens”可知，洛杉矶很少有高楼大厦，人们一般住在花园式的房子。表明该城市的扩展是向四周而不是向高处的，答案为A。
