27、 The Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院) fire has been put out, but its spire (尖顶) and a large portion of its wooden roof have been damaged. The terrible destruction causes a sudden sharp pain to people around the world. “What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonder anymore.”
But the good news is that there is at least one way of seeing them, namely through a video game called Assassin’s Creed: Unity. In this game, the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like what they are in reality, and see Notre Dame as it was before the fire. Further, with virtual reality technology, which is already quite mature, one can even look around the undamaged Notre Dame as if it is still there. Maybe digital technology could help to better protect architectural cultural heritage.
The idea of making digital models of ancient buildings to save their data dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued to advance since then. By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers, building 3D models with multiple images, as well as measuring everything precisely, engineers can make a copy as accurate as the real one.
As computers and smartphones are hugely popular, the digital model has great useful value. First, it allows tourists to feel the cultural relics without touching them. The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them. Furthermore, it can make the digitized cultural relics more famous by spreading awareness about them via the Internet. In 2000, a virtual tour of the Great Wall became very popular at the Hannover World Expo, which increased the number of foreign tourists visiting the site in the following years. Above all, it preserves all the information of the cultural relics.
Of course, however precise a model is, it is not the original. Maybe we will have better technologies in the future, but the digital technology offers a practical way to preserve architectural cultural heritage at the moment.
【1】What can we see about Notre Dame in the game?
A.The damaged Notre Dame. B.Its wooden shape.
C.The big fire. D.Its original look.
【2】What will engineers do to create a digital copy of the ancient buildings?
A.Build 3D models of full size. B.Scan the photos of the buildings
C.Measure all the parts exactly. D.Improve the technology needed.
【3】How does the author prove the digital copy has vital practical importance?
A.By giving examples. B.By classification.
C.By comparison. D.By listing data.
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the application of the technology?
A.Delighted B.Supportive
C.Doubtful D.Conservative

29、I remember my grandma sitting at the kitchen table with cucumber pieces stuck on her face. My sisters and I had them on our faces, too. We would just sit laughing at each other and seeing who could stick the most on at once. We looked silly, but it was a good way of cooling down when the apartment got too hot.
From our days as newborns, my grandma raised all three of us while my parents worked. As I got older, my family left the apartment and moved into a new house. I called my grandparents every day. I can't remember all that we talked about, but I remember how much we laughed. Mostly, though, our phone calls centered on my school homework.
Grandma was a Greek who came to America without speaking a word of English. I remember when one of my tasks was to learn the Greek national anthem, she took it upon herself to teach my sisters and me every word. As she sang, her voice was always filled with pride. She didn't Americanize herself to fit in, but brought her roots and planted them firmly.
Now, I visit my grandma once a week in her nursing home. She can no longer walk, eat hard food, or carry out a conversation. She can say a few words at a time on a good day, but the nurses don't understand her, as she's returned to speak Greek.
One afternoon, I was feeding my grandma and a nurse walked up to us and said, “Are you her grandson? Because she knows you — I can tell. She doesn't look at anyone else like that.” I looked over and my grandma's eyes were fixed on me, with the same kind of smile I've known all my life. I got close to her and she kissed me. Of course, she hasn't forgotten.

A．To play a joke on Grandma.
B．To get a sense of being cool.
C．To make their face skin more smooth.
D．To do what Grandma asked them to do.
【2】What can we learn about the author's grandma?
A．She was proud of her Greek roots.
B．She was a music teacher in Greece.
C．She learned English through songs.
D．She wasn't used to living in America.
【3】What is stressed in the last paragraph?
A．Grandma's late life.
B．Grandma's serious disease.
C．Grandma's memories of the author.
D．Grandma's deep love for the author.
