A photographer takes a picture of the Chinese bronze rat head and rabbit head sculptures display on the preview of the auction(拍賣) of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge’s art collection at the Grand Palais in Paris, France, Feb, 21, 2009. Chinese lawyers have asked the French court to stop auction house Christie’s putting two bronze relics(文物)looted (掠奪)from China

under the hammer, lawyers said Friday.

         A Paris court on Monday ruled against stopping the sale of two

looted Chinese bronze sculptures which come up for auction at

Christie’s on Wednesday. Under the ruling of the Tribunal de Grande

Instance in Paris, the plaintiff(起訴人), the Association for the

Protection of Chinese Art in Europe(APCAE),was ordered to

pay compensation(賠償)to the defendant.

         Ren Xiaohong, a lawyer for APCAE, told Xinhua that it was “of great significance” to file the lawsuit. “We hope to arouse public attention in Europe on the fate of numerous Chinese works stolen in the past, to help keep those relics well protected and collected,” Ren said.

         The Qing Dynasty(1644—1911)relics, the heads of a bronze rabbit and a rat, were among an original set of 12 bronze animal heads that were once decorated at the imperial summer resort Yuanmingyuan. They were looted when the palace was burnt down by Anglo-French allied forces during the Second Opium War in 1860.

         The pair became part of a collection of the late fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. They have been put up for auction by his partner, Pierre Berge. The two items are expected to fetch between 16 million and 20 million euros.

         So far, five of the 12 bronze animal heads have been returned to China, while the whereabouts of five others are unknown.

1.The two bronze animal heads were displayed at the Grand Palais in Paris so that       .

A.they could be collected and well preserved

B.the photographers could take pictures

C.the public could see them in advance

D.they couldn’t be sold at auction

2.The significance to stop the sale of two bronze animal heads is to      .

A.fetch between 16 million and 20 million euros

B.draw public attention to the Chinese works stolen in the past

C.make the world know more about history of the Qing Dynasty

D.find the other five bronze animal heads and return them to China

3.Which of the following is NOT true?

A.The 12 bronze animal heads have been put up for auction.

B.The 2 bronze animal heads haven’t been returned to China.

C.The 12 bronze animal heads were used as imperial decoration.

D.Yuanmingyuan was once burnt down by Anglo-French allied forces.

4.The passage is most probably taken from              .

A.a newspaper                     B.an advertisement

C.a history textbook        D.an introduction of auction

2.B

3.A

4.A

【解析】

試題分析:本文敘述了中國在鴉片戰(zhàn)爭期間由于英法聯(lián)盟把圓明園燒毀,造成了12尊動物銅像的丟失,出現(xiàn)在了法國的想要拍賣的市場上,中國律師積極活動阻止這一事件的發(fā)生。到目前為止,12尊銅像中的5尊已經回到了中國,其他的5尊還不知其下落。

1.細節(jié)理解題。根據A photographer takes a picture of the Chinese bronze rat head and rabbit head sculptures display on the preview of the auction(拍賣) of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Berge’s art collection at the Grand Palais in Paris, France, Feb, 21, 2009. 以便讓公眾提前知道,故選C。

4.文章出處題。根據短文的內容是介紹有關中國鴉片戰(zhàn)爭期間丟失的文物的消息應該登在報紙上,故選A。

Internet dating has become one of the biggest and most successful business ventures on the Internet. Basically, Internet dating is a way to meet people for either friendship or dating without actually having to meet them in person first.
The first thing to do if you decide to try Internet dating is to build your profile(簡介) which can include your hobbies, hopes for the future, and so on. A photograph is optional, but many sites claim that a photograph increases the number of people who look at your profile.  Many Internet dating sites will charge a one-time registration fee to use their services.
Internet dating makes it possible to meet people from all over the world. You can even narrow the search down to your area by zip code.

Be very aware that there are some people who misrepresent their appearance or private details, such as marital status, income, and so on, for their own reasons.

John Blanchard was studying the crowd making their way through the station. He was looking for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn' t, the girl with the rose.

When reading a book in a Florida library a year before, John became interested not in the contents of the book, but in the notes penciled in the margin (空白處).

He located her address and wrote a letter introducing himself. The next day he was shipped overseas to serve in the army.

The woman looked gentle and sensible. John went to her, saying, "1' m Captain John Blanchard. You must be Miss Maynell. I am glad to meet you here. May I take you to dinner?"

She replied with a smile, I don' t know what this is about. But the lady in green who just went by, begged me to wear this rose on my coat. She said if you asked me out to dinner, l' d tell you she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!"

科目:高中英語 來源:2011-2012學年浙江省高三年級九月月考英語題 題型:閱讀理解

A person named Bernard Jackson today is a free man, but he has many bitter memories. He spent five years in prison after a jury (陪審團) wrongly convicted (判處……有罪) him of raping two women. At Jackson’s trial, although two witnesses testified that Jackson was with them in another location at the time of the crime, he was convicted anyway. Why? The jury believed the testimony (證詞) of the two victims, who positively identified Jackson as the man who had attacked them. The court eventually freed Jackson after the police found the real criminal.

Many factors influence the accuracy of eyewitness testimony. For instance, witnesses sometimes see photographs of several suspects before they try to identify the person they saw in a group of people. They can become confused by seeing many photographs of similar faces. The number of people in the group, and whether it is a person or a photograph, may also affect a witness’s decision. People sometimes have difficulty identifying people of other races. The questions the police ask witnesses also have an effect on them.

Many people believe that police officers are more reliable than ordinary people. Psychologists decided to test this idea, and they discovered that it is not true. Two psychologists showed a film of crimes to both police officers and civilians. The psychologists found no difference between the police and the civilians in correctly remembering the details of the crimes.

Despite all the possibilities for inaccuracy, courts cannot leave out eyewitness testimony from a trial. American courts depend almost completely on eyewitness testimony to resolve (決定) court cases. Sometimes it is the only evidence to a crime, such as rape. Furthermore, eyewitness testimony is often correct. Although people do sometimes make mistakes, and convict innocent people, more importantly, eyewitness testimony has rightly convicted a larger number of guilty people.

American courts depend on the ability of the twelve jurors, and not the judges, to determine the accuracy of the witness’s testimony. It is their responsibility to decide if a certain witness could actually see, hear and remember what happened.

1.Bernard Jackson was found guilty and sentenced 5 years’ prison because           .

 A.the police discovered evidence leading to his guilt 

 B.he admitted the crime of raping two women

 C.the victims insisted that he was the attacker

 D.the eyewitness proved the victims’ testimony

2.The following statements may be the reasons for why sometimes the eyewitness’ testimony is not accurate EXCEPT          .

A.the eyewitness is confused by the police’s questions

B.the eyewitness is shown photos of many similar faces

C.the eyewitness lacks the professional help from police

D.the eyewitness can’t identify people of other races clearly

3.An inaccurate eyewitness testimony may lead to         .

 A.the misunderstanding of the case          B.the disbelief in the court

 C.the disrespect for the eyewitness           D.the conviction of an innocent person

4.Eyewitness testimony is important because         .

A.it can be relied on to detect criminals in all cases.     

B.it is sometimes the only way to resolve court cases.

C.it is sometimes the only clue for police investigation.

D.it is more reliable than physical evidences to a crime.

5.According to the text, we can infer that           .

 A.police identification is more reliable than that of the ordinary people

 B.eyewitness testimony is valuable, though sometimes incorrect.

 C.crime victims often fail to give positive identification of the suspects

 D.the jury relies on the judge rather than the eyewitness for a decision
