19.Since the time when the Romans first settled on the Danube River and built one of their most important central European forts (堡壘),Vindobona,the city we now know as Vienna,has played a very important role in European history.Austria grew up around the city and developed into a strong empire (帝國).The capital became a famous place during the rule of the Habsburg dynasty.
Today,Vienna is one of the most popular tourist spots in Austria as well as a major center of modern business and culture.Many different cultures have fused their cultural identities to produce the amazing Viennese culture.It is said that the most beautiful German is spoken in this old city.
A city of music,cafes,waltzes,parks,cakes,and wine-that's Vienna.Famous composers such as Mozart,Beethoven and Schubert made Vienna into a city of music.Vienna also has a lot to ffer in art and architecture.Yet the bars and clubs make a trip to Vienna an unforgettable experience.Vienna's cooking diversity is also impressive.Dumpling soup,tender boiled beef and apple rolls are typical Austrian dishes.
The face of the city has changed time and again due to war,victory,defeat,the death of an empire and the birth of a republic,foreign occupation (占領(lǐng)),and the passage of time.Fortunately,the Viennese character-a strict devotion to the good life-has remained solid.

解答 CAB
25.C 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段第二句Austria grew up around the city and developed into a strong empire (帝國).可知,奧地利圍繞維也納建設(shè)而成,最后成了一個強盛的帝國.故C項正確.
26.A 詞義猜測題.根據(jù)前句Today,Vienna is one of the most popular tourist spots in Austria as well as a major center of modern business and culture..Many different cultures have fused their cultural identities to produce the amazing Viennese culture.可知,維也納是著名的旅游勝地和商業(yè)文化中心,很多不同的文化都在這里融合并產(chǎn)生出令人驚異的維也納文化.所以該詞就是指多種文化的融合.故A項"melt融合"與劃線詞意思相近.
27.B 細節(jié)理解題.作者在全文中沒有提到維也納的政府機構(gòu)和天氣晴朗.所以排除了ACD三項,②④⑤⑦都在文章中有所體現(xiàn).故B項正確.
點評 閱讀理解題測試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力,要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系,對未說明的趨勢或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷;或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點理論,對文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋.考生首先要仔細閱讀短文,完整了解信息,準確把握作者觀點.
