    Barcelona’s famous Segrada Familia is finally set to get a building license to work on the still uncompleted church.

This UNESCO World Heritage basilica(长方形基督教堂)which is Barcelona’s most visited tourist attractionbegan building in 1882 based on a design by architect Francisco Lozano. Howeverwhen he stepped downarchitect Antoni Gaudi took over the design in 1883.The building won’t be finished until 2026—one hundred years after the architect was killed by a streetcar in the city. His body was buried in a room under the floor of the Sagrada Familia.

To get its paperwork rubber stampedthe church authorities have agreed to finally pay the government a 36 million fee for a building permit. Gaudi was told to get the paperwork processedbut the architect failed to do so—proceeding with construction. The money from the church’s permit will be used to upgrade transport links and beautify the area.

Gaudi played an active role in directing the construction of the Sagrada Familia until his death in 1926.He would often request that work be modified and adjusted until it was exactly what he had in mind. However, interpretation of the designs by present day architects is particularly challenging because of the nature of the existing designs.

Gaudi and his works have become symbols of Barcelonathe capital city of Catalonianortheast Spain. The unfinished building is called a masterpiece of Gothic architecture and it is perhaps the most unique and mysterious building in the style ever constructed. The popularity of the site with tourists has helped fund the push to complete the church and pay for the paperwork.

1.What do we know about the Segrada Familia?

A.It has been completely constructed. B.It was first designed by Antoni Gaudi.

C.It will get a building permit in 2026. D.It began to be built 138 years ago.

1.D 2.B 3.A 4.C 【解析】 本文是一篇新闻报道。位于西班牙巴塞罗那的一座罗马天主教大型教堂圣家大教堂,由西班牙建筑师Antoni Gaudi设计。这座教堂终于获得了建筑许可,可以对这座尚未完工的教堂继续施工。 1.细节理解题。根据第二段中“This UNESCO World Heritage basilica(长方形基督教堂),which is Barcelona’s most visited tourist attraction,began building in 1882”可知,这座教堂于1882年开始建造,距今已有138年,但是还没有完工。故选D项。 2.推理判断题。根据第二段中“architect Antoni Gaudi took over the design in 1883….His body was buried in a room under the floor of the Sagrada Familia.(建筑师Antoni Gaudi在1883年接管了这个设计。……死后,他的尸体被埋在教堂地板下的一个房间里。)”由此判断出,Antoni Gaudi作为一个著名的建筑师为人们所怀念。 故选B项。 3.细节理解题。根据第五段中“The unfinished building is called a masterpiece of Gothic architecture and it is perhaps the most unique and mysterious building in the style ever constructed. (这座未完工的建筑被称为哥特式建筑的杰作,它可能是有史以来建造的风格中最独特、最神秘的建筑)”。可知,Segrada Familia教堂以其独特的建筑风格而受到游客的喜爱。故选A项。 4.推理判断题。根据第五段中“The popularity of the site with tourists has helped fund the push to complete the church and pay for the paperwork. (这个旅游景点在游客中很受欢迎,这有助于资助将教堂完工和支付文书费用。)”可以推断,教堂是在旅游收入的帮助下支付建筑许可证费用的。故选C项。

Like a little pair of lottery(彩票) winnerswe walked home and proudly showed off our takings.But our enjoyment of this sudden wealth was short­livedand our plans for spending it quickly failed.Our angry mother took us back to every ticket buyermaking us apologise and give the money back.Thankfullyour sweet neighbours didn’t make a big deal of our “clever” misbehavior and thus my mother’s

fundraising career could continue safely.We were taught a good lesson by our mother that day.Also I remember my sister’s entrepreneurial(企业家的) spirit dried up a bit after that.
