第一节 阅读理解（共小题；每小题2分，满分0分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
My first visit to Angkor Wat(吴哥窟) was in 1980. The country had been at war for many years and the temple was deserted and falling to pieces. Plants were growing out of the roofs, and trees were growing in the courtyards.
Today, the temple is the scene of a busy repair program. A team of 15 Indian experts are organizing a workforce of 400 Cambodians, most of them women, who are cleaning, repairing and rebuilding parts of this temple.
As I walked through the courtyards, I noticed the Cambodian women devote hours to cleaning carefully a tiny area of stone. Boards are laid down to protect the precious painted stones while the repair work is going on. There are very few machines and little heavy equipment. Workers carry building materials in buckets at the end of long poles. Piles of stones lie in a corner of the courtyard, waiting to be replaced.
The work of cleaning the stones is watched over by three Indian chemists. It is a very slow task. First they clean the stones with brushes using buckets of a weak chemical. Then gaps between the stones are filled in. Finally another material is painted onto the stones which will protect them from water forever.
Work starts every day at 7 a. m. and goes on until late afternoon six days a week, with a break at midday.
Evening is the best time to visit the temple, after the tour groups have left. As the sun sinks lower, shadows spread across the courtyard. After sunset, the sky turns pink. The grey stone towers take on a golden color before turning pink. Nowhere else in the world can there be such a quiet, beautiful place.

The Internet is not perfect. There are many problems with it.

A modern life has become more comfortable and convenient, there has been a growing trend to use things once and then throw them away. Many kinds of environmental problems have been caused by this, including air and water pollution, destruction of natural environment, global warming, and a great deal of waste. Environmental protection is an important task not only for Japan but also for the whole world. Led by the Japanese government, Japanese people are making great efforts for environmental protection.

第五部分 基础写作（，）Instead, they rent houses outside the school. There are advantages and disadvantages for both.
Living in a dorm can increase friendship and cooperation between calssmates and of course it is safer. A dorm is more like a society, which enables students to learn to adapt to each other, this preparing for the social life later. But sometimes it is a little noisy in the dorm, and we are often disturbed by each other when we are studying. As for renting houses to live alone, it’s better for study as you can feel free in your own room without being interrupted by others, as a result of which you can have more time and devote yourself to your study. But there may appear some safety problems when you live outside of the school.
