第1题：
Sydney Opera House will outlive the Guggenheim as an international architectural icon ______.
A．because it is a global expression of cultural modernity
B．because it is the first designed and built modern building
C．because everyone in the world with media access knows what the Sydney Opera House looks like
D．because it is the pioneer in accomplishing such an international architectural icon
解析：细节题。由题干outlive the Guggenheim定位到第二段末句，这里说到悉尼剧院将比古根海姆博物馆更加流传，因为它是国际建筑的开路先锋，D“因为它是现代国际性建筑偶像的鼻祖”与此意一致。A尽管在文章中提到了，但不算是题干中提到的原因：B中的first有问题，第二段尽管提到the opera house was the single best-known modern building，但并没有说是第一；C只是在陈述悉尼歌剧院闻名的程度。

第7题：
You are a database administrator in the Los Angeles branch office of a specialty foods supplier. A mainframe. database at the headquarters contains all company data. Each branch office contains a SQL Server 2000 computer that imports regional data from the mainframe. database.
The server in Los Angeles contains a Data Transformation Services (DTS) package that uses OLE DB to connect to the company's mainframe. database. The DTS package extracts and transforms data about buyers and products for that region. The DTS package then writes the data to the SQL Server database in Los Angeles.
You need to configure a SQL Server computer for the new branch office in Sydney. You want to copy the Los Angeles package and modify it so that it writes data to the SQL Server database in Sydney.
You use the DTS Designer to modify the DTS package so that it imports regional data from the mainframe. database to the server in Sydney. The modified DTS package runs successfully on the server in Los Angeles. You save this DTS package to the server in Sydney, but the server in Sydney cannot connect to the mainframe. database.
You want to enable the server in Sydney to connect to the mainframe. database. What should you do?
A．Change the connection properties in the DTS package so that the package uses new login credentials to connect to the mainframe. database.
B．Modify the workflow in the DTS package so that the server in Sydney is included.
C．On the server in Sydney, install an OLE DB provider for the mainframe. database.
D．On the server in Sydney, delete and then re-create the DTS package.
解析：Explanation: OLE DB is an API that allows COM applications to use data from OLE DB data sources, which includes data stored in different formats. An application uses an OLE DB provider to access an OLE DB data source. An OLE DB provider is a COM component that accepts calls to the OLE DB API and performs the necessary processing required by request against the data source. In this scenario the OLE DB source is the company's mainframe. database, which contains all company data. As each branch office contains a SQL Server 2000 computer that imports regional data from the mainframe. database, all existing and future branch office SQL Server 2000 servers will require an OLE DB provider to access the company's mainframe. database.
Incorrect Answers:
A: The DTS package requires an OLE DB provider to access an OLE DB data source. It needs this provider to connect to the company's mainframe. database. Resetting the connection properties in the DTS package so that the package uses new login credentials to connect to the mainframe. database will not provide the DTS package with the required access to the mainframe. database.
B: A separate DTS package must be created for the Sydney branch office. This DTS package must extract data from the company's mainframe. computer that is relevant to the branch office in Sydney. The existing DTS package used to extract data from the company's mainframe. for the Los Angeles SQL Server 2000 server can be modified to serve the same function for the Sydney office.
D: Re-creating the DTS package on the SQL Server 2000 server in the branch office in Sydney is unnecessary the that SQL Server 2000 server would still require an OLE DB provider to access the company’s mainframe. database. It would require less administrative effort to modify the existing DTS package.
第8题：
It is pretty hopeless as a venue for opera, it took years to build, its architect was forced to resign and it was never properly finished inside. None of this matters. The Sydney Opera House, by the reclusive Danish architect Jorn Utzon, is the mother and father of all modern landmark buildings. It has come to define not only a city, but an entire nation and continent.
Beyond that, it is a global expression of cultural modernity. Everyone in the world with media access knows what the Sydney Opera House looks like. First designed in 1956 and finally declared completed in 1973, the opera house was the single best known modern building in the world until the arrival of Frank Gehry's equally extraordinary Bilbao Guggenheim in 1997. But it will outlive the Guggenheim as an international architectural icon--because it did all the difficult work tint.
In the pantheon(万神殿) of classic modern buildings, Utzon's creation has the status of myth. The myth states that the unknown architect, then in his thirties, submitted rough sketches to the competition judges, that he ignored most of the rules, that his as only selected after being plucked at the last moment from the rejected pile by one of the judges, and that the design was unbuildable.
But Sydney is remarkable for another reason: it is a complete one-off. It does not fit into any stylistic or chronological category. None of Utzon's other buildings--churches, government departments, house. looks anything like it, and architects today who try to copy his concept always end up looking very second-rate indeed. It is "modern", certainly, but it is an expressive modernism that was quite at odds with the rectilinear(直线的) "international style" of its time. It has more in common with the work of the American genius Frank Uloyd Wright, for whom Utzon worked briefly. Of course its location is an enormous help, sitting as it does on a promontory with water on three sides and the famous Sydney Harbor Bridge as a picture-postcard backdrop. But Utzon masterly exploited the site as nobody else could.
Utzon left Australia in high indignation in 1966, never to return, before he could finish designing the interiors.
As with Sir Christopher Wren at St Paul's Cathedral, Utzon was humiliated and removed from overseeing the final stages of his masterwork. But for all his manifold difficulties, which other contemporary architect can claim an equivalent achievement? The Sydney Opera House showed us that anything is possible, and it demonstrated that sheer, seductive beauty for its own sake is nothing to be ashamed of.
It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A．the Danish architect Join Utzon totally failed in his design of Sydney Opera House and was forced to resign
B．the Danish architect Jorn Utzon has been made known as the founder of all the modern landmark buildings, in spite of his part failure in his design of Sydney Opera House
C．Sydney Opera House is hopelessly ugly and has never been finished inside
D．Sydney Opera House is the single best known modern building in the world up to now
解析：推断题。第一段提到“该剧院作为一个歌剧院，花了好多年才建成，其设计者被迫辞职，内部装修也迟迟未能完工，但所有这些都无关紧要……，由丹麦设计家约恩·乌特松本人设计的悉尼歌剧院依然是现代景观建筑的首创……”，这与B的意思吻合。
