听力原文：In the Middle Ages, the Italian city of Venice assumed its role as the glassmakin

听力原文： In the Middle Ages, the Italian city of Venice assumed its role as the glassmaking centre of the western world. The Venetian merchant fleet ruled the Mediterranean waves and helped supply Venice's glass craftsmen with the technical know-how of their counterparts in Syria, and with the artistic influence of Islam. The importance of the glass industry in Venice can be seen in the number of craftsmen at work there(more than 8,000 at one point).

Until the end of the 13th century, most glassmaking in Venice took place in the city itself. However, the frequent fires caused by the furnaces led the city authorities, in 1291, to order the transfer of glassmaking to the island of Murano. The measure also made it easier for the city to keep an eye on what was one of its main assets, ensuring that no glassmaking skills or secrets were exported.

In the second half of the 15th century, the craftsmen of Mnrano started using quartz sand and potash made from sea plants to produce particularly pure crystal. By the end of the 16th century, 3,000 of the island's 7,000 inhabitants were involved in some way in the glassmaking industry.

B．The secrets of Syria's glassmaking were known by Venice's craftsmen.

C．Venice's glassmaking industry was artistically influenced by Islam.

D．It had more than 8,000 craftsmen at one point.

听力原文： TUVALU, a tiny country in the Pacific Ocean, has asked for help as it fears it will be swallowed up by the sea. Storms and huge waves are a constant threat and none of Tuvalu's nine little islands is more than five meters above sea level. Salt water is already entering the country's drinking water supply, as well as damaging plants that produce fruit and vegetable. Without urgent help, the country's days are numbered. But Tuvalu is not the first place to face sinking into the sea. Venice, a historic city in Italy, best known for its canals, has sunk about 24 cm over the past 100 years.

Experts say that it will have sunk another 20-50 cm by 2050. A century ago, St. Mark's Square, the lowest point in the city, flooded about nine times a year. Nowadays, it happens more than 100 times. While Venice is slowly sinking into the mud on which it stands. Tuvalu's rising sea level is caused by global warming. The average global temperatures also make water expand, so it takes up more space, causing the sea level to rise. The sea level has risen about 10-25 cm in the last 100 years. The main cause of global warming is human pollution. Through burning coal, oil and gas, people have been increasing the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as CO2. This adds to the power of the greenhouse effect, making the planet even warmer.

(30)

A．It is in the Atlantic Ocean.

B．It has almost been swallowed by the sea.

C．It consists of 9 islands.

D．It is famous for its canal.

听力原文： The northern Italian city is slowly drowning—sea levels in the Adriatic are risi

ng, and high tides are becoming more frequent. (32)The Italian government is spending a large sum of 4. 5 billion euro on a controversial project to build floodgates across the entrance to the lagoon in which the city stands in an effort to keep the sea at bay.

Italian experts are proposing a dramatic new solution to the watery threat facing the city of Venice. Rather than battling to keep the sea out—they want to use it to help raise the sinking island-city.

(33) The scheme would~ involve pumping huge quantities of sea water into the ground beneath Venice down 12 pipes each of which would be 700m long. The sea water would make the sand beneath the city expand lifting Venice by 30cra in 10 years.

(34)Now, a panel of engineers and geologists from the respected University of Padua have come up with the new scheme costing just a fraction of that—100m euro.

It says the plan would help raise Venice by almost as much as it has sunk over the past three centuries. The professor leading the project says it is not an alternative to the floodgates - but would work in collaboration with them. Be now wants to carry out a trial to see if the theory would work in practice.

Not everyone is convinced. (35) One expert—who helped stabilize the leaning Tower of Pisa—described the scheme as pure science fiction and warned it could damage the fragile structure of Venice. But the city's mayor is interested. He says it is time to look again at how to raise the city—and is convinced that the technology exists to make it a reality.

(33)

A．Building floodgates to keep the sea out.

B．Stopping the sea level rising.

C．Raising the sinking city of Venice.

D．Saving the city from flooding.

听力原文： La Fenice, Venice's historic opera house which was destroyed by fire eight years

ago, has reopened with a gala performance of Giuseppe Verdi's opera "La Travolta". The first performance of "Travolta" took place in the same theatre one hundred and fifty one years ago.

It's taken eight years to rebuild Venice's opera house, the interior of which was completely destroyed while La Fenice was closed for repairs in a blaze which raged all night at end of January 1996. A court later sentenced two electricians to prison on charges of arson. A glittering gathering of celebrities and politicians at- tended the first opera performance in the reconstructed theatre.

The opera house was handed over by the builders nearly a year ago, but it's taken many months to install new stage machinery and to ac0ust the acoustics. Every detail of the original eighteenth-century building has been faithfully reproduced and state-of-the-art sprinkler fire protection and an underground freshwater reservoir

have been installed to stave off any future disaster.

A seat in the stalls or in one of the elaborate boxes surrounding the horseshoe-shaped auditorium now costs nearly & 700. But relatively few members of the first night VIP audience had paid for their tickets. Hundreds of tourists are now visiting the theatre each day, paying just over ten pounds to see the empty opera house.

Which of the following did NOT happen to the opera house？

A．It caught on*fire in January 1996.

B．Two. electricians Were sent to prison because of the accident.

C．The theatre was reconstructed.

D．The theater hasn't been put into use yet.
