It was August in Paris. Most people were out of the city, enjoying their summer holiday. The streets were
e ___ 7 1___ and restaurants were closed.
But on a Saturday morning at 9 a.m., I was standing in a queue. I was waiting to see Leonardo da Vinci’s
Mona Lisa, the world’s most famous artwork. I bought the ticket in advance. However, by the time I arrived at the
Louvre（卢浮宫）, there had been a very long l ___ 7 2___ .
It took me around 30 minutes to pass the security check. As I entered the museum, I found the second airport-
style queue of the day. The queue moved forward s ___ 7 3___ and silently. It’s just like a trip to IKEA. You have to
be patient because it takes much time to move forward. However, you have to walk, eyes-down, past lots of sofas
and tables before you reach what you need.
The only sign the Mona Lisa was c ___ 7 4___ was a forest of security officers. Only ten people were allowed to
view the painting at a time. A poster outside the pen（围栏）warned. “The Mona Lisa has many admirers. Please
keep you visit short and sweet to give e ___ 7 5___ a chance to meet her.”
“How short is short and sweet?” I wondered. Very short, it turned out.
My watch clocked only 22 seconds from entering the pen before two staff members told me it was time to
g ___ 7 6___ . “One photo and leave,” they said. I tried to take a selfie, but an arm quickly came to guide me
onwards. Behind me, the queue moved forward, ten by ten, to take a photo and leave.
I was almost a ___ 7 7___ as I admired the other artworks in the Louvre. I couldn’t help wondering: Why are
there so many people to see the Mona Lisa and so few to see the other artworks? Are we really going to appreciate
the famous artworks or are we just “checking in” at the “popular” attractions?
D. Read the passage below and answer the following questions（根据文章内容回答下列问题）（12分）
①The debate on “textbooks vs. computers” has been going on for years. How much technology is enough in
the classroom? Should textbooks be replaced by computers?②There is no doubt that computers are powerful tools. Computer-based lesson plans are updated in real time.
New information can be added as soon as changes take place. Students can find the latest information for the
subjects they are studying.
③With computers, students can learn how to use them for the rest of their lives. Today, computers are used in
almost all areas. Students can prepare themselves better for the future if they have computers.
④However, despite these advantages, I think textbooks must stay.
⑤Textbooks are professionally edited. All the facts have been checked. They are put together in the best way.
Each chapter builds on what a student has previously learned. On the internet, however, not all the information is
true to organized.
⑥With textbooks, it is easier for students to take notes. Scientists have found that taking notes by hand helps
students learn more.
⑦Textbooks are also less expensive than computers. While most families can afford textbooks, not all of them
can afford a computer. Every student should be allowed to learn what he needs to learn. It’s wrong to rob a student
of his right to learn just because he can’t afford the material.
⑧Computers are playing an important role in education. They allow students to learn more. However, I don’t
think they can replace textbooks. If students want to learn well, they must use textbooks. Do you agree with me?
78. What is the main idea of the second paragraphs?
79. Does the third paragraph suggest that computers are useful to students?
80. How many advantages do textbooks have according to the passage?
81. What advantage do textbooks have over computers according to paragraph 7?
82. What’s the writer’s point of view in the last paragraph?
83. Do you think computers should replace textbooks? Why or Why not?
VII. Writing（作文）（共20分）
84. Write at least 60 words on the topic “Things I love to do at weekends”（以“周末我喜欢做的事”为题写一篇
不少于60个词的短文，标点符号不占格。）在紧张的学习之余，周末做些自己喜欢的事可以调节放松一下自我，以便更有效地继续下一周的学习，
