7、celona every year, just to visit the Gaudi“s Church. This unusual church has a strange history. Gaudi was born in Spain in 1852. He had to work and study at the same time. He often missed classes because he had to work, but one day he designed a very unusual show-case for an exhibition in Paris. Peo
8、ple began to give him work. He designed houses, offices and gardens. They were all very unusual. He was soon rich and famous. Then a rich bookseller said, “Will you build a church for the poor people of Barcelona? I will pay. I will build schools and workshops, too. They will help the people“. “I wi
9、ll do it“, said Guadi. He worked for forty years, but he could not finish the church. It was too big. He needed $10,000,000. He gave all his money to the church. He was poor again when he died in 1926, and only the front part of the church was finished. Now, architects, engineers and tourists from a
10、ll over the world like to come and see the church, which is very strange, very modem and very revolutionary.（分数：10.00）(1).The best title which fits the passage best is _.（分数：2.00）A.BarcelonaA Famous CityB.Strange History of Unusual ChurchC.A Poor Architect“s StudyD.Gandi“s Life in His Childhood(2).G

13、 lifeB.was full of sympathy to the poorC.always created unusual worksD.both B and CWe use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways. It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laugh
14、ter or crying. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns. Fear is another emotion that is
15、shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like “he went pale and begin to tremble“ suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, “he opened his eyes wide“ is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in En
16、glish it means surprise. In Chinese surprise can be described in a phrase like “they stretched out their tongues!“ Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike. Even in the same culture, people differ in ability to understand and express feelings. Experimen
17、ts in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on people“s faces.
