Thesignificanceofthisplacewasnotonlyhistoricalbutalsoarchitectural.Butthere,shewasshockedthatitseemedasifnooneevenknewaboutit.(在訪問期間，她意識到網(wǎng)上缺乏關(guān)于其歷史和遺產(chǎn)的信息。這個(gè)地方的意義不僅在于歷史，而且在于建筑。但在那里，她感到震驚的是，似乎沒有人知道這件事)”可知，網(wǎng)上缺少關(guān)于DevanahalliFort歷史與遺跡的信息，DevanahalliFort有著重要的歷史和建筑意義，但似乎沒有人知道這個(gè)地方，對此她感到驚訝。故選C?！?題詳解】主旨大意題。根據(jù)第四段的“Besidesrestorationandpreservation,theyhostheritagetalkstofamiliarizepeoplewiththeircity’sheritage.Whiletheydowelcometouristsandtravelers,theiremphasisonengagingthelocalpopulationisevident.Theorganizationalsohostsseveralheritagewalkstospreadawarenessaboutthehiddenheritage.Also,theteamstartsfromlookingforaprospectivebuilding,thensecuringfundingandthenfindingarchitectsandengineersthatareidealfortheproject.(除了修復(fù)和保護(hù)，他們還舉辦遺產(chǎn)講座，讓人們熟悉他們城市的遺產(chǎn)。雖然他們確實(shí)歡迎游客和旅行者，但他們對吸引當(dāng)?shù)孛癖姷闹匾暿秋@而易見的。該組織還舉辦了幾次遺產(chǎn)步行活動(dòng)，以傳播人們對隱藏遺產(chǎn)的認(rèn)識。此外，該團(tuán)隊(duì)從尋找未來的建筑開始，然后獲得資金，然后找到適合該項(xiàng)目的建筑師和工程師)”可知，本段主要介紹了Meera加入了致力于保護(hù)被忽略的歷史遺跡的組織，除了修復(fù)和保護(hù)歷史遺跡，他們還舉辦活動(dòng)讓人們了解這些歷史遺跡。即，本段告訴我們?yōu)榱吮Ｗo(hù)歷史遺跡INTACH這個(gè)機(jī)構(gòu)團(tuán)體以及Meera所做的努力。故選B?！?題詳解】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)最后一段的“Theyfacemanyissues,withfundingbeingthemajorchallenge.(他們面臨許多問題，資金是主要挑戰(zhàn))

”可知，他們面臨很多問題，籌資是主要困難。再根據(jù)表示轉(zhuǎn)折的“However”可知，她感到非常幸運(yùn)，因?yàn)榭梢缘玫絺€(gè)人和政府的捐助。所以劃線單詞的意思為“幸運(yùn)的”。故選C。CForgetabout“military-styletravel”duringwhichpeopletendtovisitasmanyplacesaspossibleintheleastamountoftime.Amorerelaxedandleisurelyalternative,suchas“Citywalk”,isbecomingthenormamongurbanyoungsters.Unlikemilitary-styletravel,Citywalkisaboutwanderingaroundacityonfoot,feelingtheatmosphereandfindingunusualthingsthatevenaresidentofthecitymightnothavenoticedbefore.Itcanbeaspecialeventwherepeoplestartajourneyledbytourguidesorsimplyexplorethestreets.Suchwalksgenerallyavoidfamousscenicspotsandshoppingcenters,andtakeyoutoplaceswhereyoucanhaverealinteractionswiththelocalpeople,eatatsmallbutauthenticrestaurants,andgainadeeperunderstandingofthehistoryandcultureofthecity.Citywalkershavesharedtheircarefullyplannedroutesonsocialmediaplatforms.Theirpostsusuallyincludehowlongthewalkisgoingtotake,andinterestingplacesandrestaurantsalongtheway.Somepostsaremorelikeafoodtour.NanXi,whorecentlymovedfromBeijingtoShanghai,said“IthinkShanghaiisacityperfectforCitywalk.Therearebigtreesalongthestreetsandshopssellingdifferentproducts,whichisidealforcouplesandfriendstowalktogetherandtakephotos.”AfterseveralCitywalkexperiences,shesignedupforatwo-and-a-half-hourCitywalkpricedat88yuanperperson.Atourguidenarratedthehistoryofthebuildingsandstreetsalongtheway.“Ifitweremewalkingalone,Iwouldsimplyfindthestreetsartistic,butthetourthatdayhelpedmegainabetterunderstandingofhowWesterncultureblendsinwiththelocalcultureinShanghai,”shesaid.Anothersurprisingbenefitofthewalkwasthatshehasmadefriendswithtwoofherfellowwalkers.LinYi,amanagerforanonlineplatformforself-guidedtours,saidCitywalkcanhelptravelerslearnaboutlocalcultureandliveaslocalpeopledo,feelingthevibesofacity.PeoplewhoparticipateinCitywalksusuallyhavesimilartastes,andcanhavein-depthdiscussionswitheachother,hesaid.8.Whatisthemaindifferencebetweenmilitary-styletravelandCitywalk?A.Thetransport.
