)。請依據下面的要點提示，給外教MrBrown寫一封電子郵件，邀請他做你們的短劇顧問，要點如下:1.寫信的緣由和目的;2.須要何種幫助;3.期盼回復。留意：(1)詞數100詞左右（文章開頭和結尾已給出，不計入總詞數）(2)可適當增加細微環(huán)節(jié)，以使行文連貫參考詞匯：排練rehearsev.DearMrBrown,_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Yourstruly,LiHua答案以及解析1答案及解析：答案：1-4ACDC解析：1.細微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。由第一段中的TheworksofarthavebeencollectedbythepeopleofFranceovermanycenturies.可以看出，盧浮宮的大多數藝術品是法國人民收集而來的。2.細微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。由第四段的最終兩句可確定A、B選項正確。由最終一段的最終一句可確定D項正確。故C項并未提及。3.細微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。由最終一段中的Itisaplacewherearttreasuresarekeptforeveryonetoenjoy.可確定D項正確。4.細微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。由其次段中的In1190,itwastheking'scastlewithhighwallsandaroundtower.可確定C項正確。2答案及解析：答案：1-4ABCD解析：1.細微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。A項不是愛護敦煌的舉措，也不是樊錦詩實行的。依據文章第三段和第五段段意得出植樹、拍攝并分類這些遺跡、給洞窟安上門，監(jiān)測溫度和濕度，都是愛護敦煌的措施。故選A。2.細微環(huán)節(jié)理解題，依據文章最終一段FanwasgratefulwhenherhusbandjoinedherinDunhuangin1986after19yearsofseparation，可知1986年的19年前是1967年，故選B。3.詞義揣測題。下文"Theheritagewouldhavebeendestroyedifithadbeenlisted,"shesaid.可知"假如這份遺產被列入名錄，它早就被毀了。"由此可知她堅決反對當地政府將敦煌莫高窟公諸于眾的安排，"intheirway"的意思是"反對某事"，故選C。4.推理推斷題。依據文章可知樊錦詩放棄照看家庭，一生保衛(wèi)敦煌的事跡，可推斷出樊錦詩具有奉獻的和堅持不懈的精神，故選D。3答案及解析：答案：1petition2.better3.trying4.about5.a6.things7.satisfied8.which/that9.constantly10.towaste解析：1.依據空格前面的不定冠詞a可知填單數名詞。2.依據空后的"than"可
