Question

【題目】任務(wù)型閱讀

France has promised a worldwide effort to rebuild Notre-Dame Cathedral(巴黎圣母院) in Paris, the famous Christian church damaged（毀壞） by fire. Many people have been sharing pictures of themselves and their families visiting Notre-Dame. For many people, the building combines （結(jié)合）their personal memories with a long-established cultural heritage（文化遺產(chǎn)）. Live images of the fire were broadcast and shared as firefighters struggled to contain the flames（火苗） that destroyed the building’s tall spire（圓頂） and its wooden roof.

The fire happened at a time when some social media companies are testing methods for fighting back against wrong information. But in the case of YouTube（網(wǎng)站名）, its methods did not help stop wrong information from spreading. YouTube’s algorithm discovered the pictures of the burning Cathedral and sent users links(鏈接) about the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Links included Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Britannica entries（入口） about the 911 attack. Observers say the incident demonstrates some of the problems with automatic systems that are meant to correct misleading information.

French President Emmanuel Macron sent a message on Twitter（網(wǎng)站名） expressing sadness at the loss. U.S. President Donald Trump said that he offered sympathy to the head of the Catholic Church Pope Francis and offered U.S. experts to help build it.

Notre-Dame De Paris is among the most famous Catholic churches in the world and is the seat of Catholic leadership of Paris. The Paris public prosecutor is trying to find out the cause of the fire, which is probably linked to extensive renovation（翻修） work. France announced it would invite architects from around the world to propose designs to replace the spire that was destroyed in the fire. Prime Minister Edouard Philippes said a competition would decide whether the Cathedral should have a new design or be rebuilt as it was.

本文是一篇說明文。巴黎圣母院突然被一場火災(zāi)毀壞，火災(zāi)燒毀了高聳的尖塔和木制屋頂。法國承諾集結(jié)全球的力量重建巴黎圣母院，法國總理菲利普表示，將會通過競賽決定大教堂是否采用新設(shè)計(jì)還是恢復(fù)原貌。

【1】根據(jù)第一段“Many people have been sharing pictures of themselves and their families visiting Notre-Dame. For many people, the building combines （結(jié)合）their personal memories with a long-established cultural heritage（文化遺產(chǎn)）.”可知，巴黎圣母院對于很多人來說，這座建筑將他們的回憶與歷史悠久的文化遺產(chǎn)結(jié)合在一起。故填The building combines their personal memories with a long-established cultural heritage.

【2】根據(jù)第二段“YouTube’s algorithm discovered the pictures of the burning Cathedral and sent users links(鏈接) about the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Links included Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Britannica entries（入口） about the 911 attack.”可知，這些鏈接包括維基百科和大英百科全書關(guān)于911襲擊的詞條。故填Wikipedia and Encyclopedia.

【3】根據(jù)第三段“U.S. President Donald Trump said that he offered sympathy to the head of the Catholic Church Pope Francis and offered U.S. experts to help build it.”可知美國總統(tǒng)特朗普在推特上稱，他向天主會教皇弗朗西斯表示了慰問，并指派美國專家前往協(xié)助重建。故填U.S. President Donald Trump.

【4】根據(jù)最后一段“The Paris public prosecutor is trying to find out the cause of the fire, which is probably linked to extensive renovation（翻修） work.”可知，巴黎檢察官正在調(diào)查起火原因，人們懷疑這次事件與大規(guī)模的修繕工程有關(guān)。故填It was probably caused by extensive renovation.
