Venice is an attractive city in Italy. Tourists throughout the world love traveling to Venice. But sometimes you’ll have such strange experiences. One moment you walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there’s nothing special. Unfortunately, when you come back to the bridge an hour later, it’s underwater and everyone’s wearing rain boots.
That’s just the way it has always been, which may be considered seriously by Italian government. Before the sea comes to Venice, the government has decided to build the MOSE gates. Actually(实际上), there were many kinds of gates that were built to stop the floods, but all the gates were just built on the ground. Besides, the flooding was becoming worse. Industrial(工
业的)factories built nearby on the mainland also made the condition get worse, causing the city to sink about 0.75 feet in the 20th century.
So the Italian government asked some of Italy’s biggest construction and engineering companies to build the MOST project, which was planned to be built under the sea water to stop floods. Now the government are using 3 000 people and expect to spend nearly five billion euros(欧元) on it. The MOSE gates are being built at the inlets(海湾).Each MOST gate is 197 feet long, 28.5 to 37 feel tall, and weight up to 22 tons. It’s nearly the size of a 20-story building. Before the gates are in use, under the sea full of water. When the flood comes, the water in the gates will be poured out, and then the gates will be filled with air. So the gates can go up with the sea water. Once they’re in the right place, they will stop the sea water pouring into Venice. These gates will be able to deal with floods up to 10feet,and as long as the sea level(平面)rises no more than two feet in the next 100 years, the MOSE will work as expected.
The MOSE project is now two-thirds done. The head engineer, Giovanni Cecconi, said, “This is a war. During the war, it’s not important that you win. It’s important that you’re alive. We’ve alive.” Anyway, this project is saving Venice from falling.（2011 黑龙江 哈尔滨）

答案与解析
I.
1．D。由答语可知问句问的是频率，故用how often。
2．C。动词make后接动词原形，而动词want的结构则是want sb. to do sth.，因此答案为选项C。
3．B。本句没有谓语动词，所以只能使用带有动词的短语，故选B，表示“乘车”。 4．A。would like后接动词不定式；what about则后接动词-ing形式。 5．C。用sorry来表示遗憾，这是对对方邀请的礼貌拒绝。
6．B。look是系动词。后需接形容词，而really是副词，是可以修饰形容词beautiful的。
7．B。构成常见句型：so+助动词+主语。表示上下两句话的内容相同，只是主语不同。 8．B。构成not...as... / so...as...的结构，表示“与??不一样”。
9．A。第一空用不定式表示目的；第二空是回答must的一般疑问句的，其否定回答只能使用needn’t。
10．C。答语中使用的是过去时态，所以问句也应该是过去时。选项B是一般疑问句，必须使用yes或
no来回答，因此只能选C。
11．C。构成see sb. do sth.，表示“看见某人做某事”。
12．C。因为you与后面的a soccer match不能对等，所以不能使用going to be的形式；而第二空是
there be句型，必须使用be going to be的形式，所以选项C为正确答案。
