题文

Reading comprehension. According to legend, the Bridge of Sighs in Venice, Italy, which connects the Palazzo Ducale to an
ancient prison, got its name because the walk across it gave prisoners on their way to jail a final chance
to appreciate the beauty of the city.
The view from the bridge today, however, is more likely to be of a giant billboard selling Bulgari or
Coca-cola. Beyond the billboards, monuments are being restored. The money comes from advertising
profits.
But when the Coke billboards went up this summer on buildings near the Piazza San Marco, which is
at the historic heart of Venice, there was a public debate.
"We can't commercialize everything," said Alessandra Mottola Molfino, a Venetian. "The lesson that
goes out is that a price is for everything."
"We couldn't stay quiet," said Maria Camilla Bianchini d'Alberigo, president of a heritage protection
association. "Too much is too much."
There needed to be rules, she added, rules that prevent the advertising billboards clashing (冲突) with
the monuments of the city.
City of officials, however, argue that without these ads, the city could not afford to maintain its heritage.
Many have been damaged by centuries of wear and are even a threat to public safety.
"I can't turn down the image of bottle when there are pieces of the Palazzo Ducale falling to the ground,"
said Renata Codello, a Culture Ministry official.
The Culture Minister has a budget of about $ 47 million (315 million yuan) for restoration of monuments,
but Italy has a rich architectural heritage, and funds are always tight．Of that amount, $ 1.8 million was given
to the entire Vector region, which includes Venice. 
Two years ago, the city signed an agreement with the Dotter Group, a company responsible for the
restoration of the Bridge of Sighs and the Palazzo Ducale．It allows it to sell ad space. 
But there is a condition in the agreement: The ads should not offend public taste.
In August, Venice banned US actress Julianne Moore's Bulgrari ad from a billboard in the Piazza San
Marco.
The photo shows a naked Moore covered with lion cubs, handbags and jewelry, Mayor Giorgio Orsoni
called the image too racy (猥亵) and unsuitable for the Piazza San Marco. 
"I take account of the fact that Venice is part of the real world…but we cannot accept these Hollywood-
style images. There arc intelligent sponsors, and we need to come up with advertising that suits Venice, not
Times Square," he said in a speech.  1. The article is mainly about _____ in Venice. [ ]A. restoration of cultural heritage

考点

据考高分专家说，试题“Reading compre.....”主要考查你对 [历史文化类阅读 ]考点的理解。

历史文化类阅读

什么是历史文化类阅读：

本类题型常用的方式是夹叙夹议。叙述的目的是为了议，所以要把握其议才是主要方面。阅读这类文章，先弄清其引入的话题，再弄清里面人物对其不同的看法，然后理解作者本身对话题的观点看法或思考。

历史文化类阅读技巧：

【题型说明】历史文化类阅读理解文章属高考常选材料之一。这类文章常涉及历史、文化、法制、宗教等方面的文学艺术、发明创造、文化遗产保护、宗教与文化、风俗与习惯、道德与法制、中外文学名著节选、等等。这类材料的命题点往往落在主旨大意题、事实细节题上。
【答题方法】在做这类阅读理解题时，我们应注意以下几个方面：
1、采用先题后文：先读题目，再带着问题读文章。这类阅读理解文章相对来说事实细节题稍多一点，如果带着问题读文章，有利于我们抓细节。
2、先做细节题。因为做完了局部性的事实细节题后，自然会加深我们对文章的理解，这样更有利于做主旨大意题。
3、重点敲定主旨题。主旨大意题提问的形式主要有两大类：一类是Main idea型；一类是Topic或Title型。
在解答这类试题时应注意以下几点：
a．读首句抓大意。
文化教育类阅读理解文章多采用说明文、议论文体裁，而这类文章大都采用文章段落的中心，即主题句在文章开头。因此，要寻找这类文章的主旨大意就需要研究文章的首句。
b．读尾句抓大意。
有时这类文章的主题句安排在文章的结尾，作为对全篇的总结。
c．读首段抓大意。
有些文章或段落的开头和结尾部分都有主题句。这种结构是为了突出主题思想而使用两次点题的写作方法。这两个主题句在句子结构和用词上有所不同，而且在内容上前句和后句也不重复。
d．从段落中抓大意。
有些文章或段落的主题句在文章中，这种文章或段落往往以一句话或几句话引出要表达的主题，在主题句出现后，再举例子陈述细节或继续论证。
e．归纳要点抓大意。
有些文章或段落无明显的主题句，只是暗示性地体现主题。这就要求同学们在阅读过程中根据文中所叙述的事实或线索来概括总结主旨大意。
