问题 单项选择题

现在说到砖石建筑物,这里面最主要的是塔。也许同志们就要这样想了,“你谈了半天,总是谈些封建和迷信的东西。”但是事实上,在一个阶级社会里,一切艺术和技术主要都是为统治阶级服务的。过去的社会是封建和迷信的社会,当时的建筑物当然为封建和迷信的社会服务的,因此,中国的建筑遗产中,最豪华的、最庄严美丽的、最智慧的创造,总是宫殿和庙宇。欧洲建筑遗产的精华也全是些宫殿和教堂。
在一个城市中,宫殿的美是可望而不可即的,而庙宇寺院的美,人民大众都可以欣赏和享受。在寺院建筑中,佛塔是给人民群众以深刻的印象的。它是多层的高耸云霄的建筑物。全城的人在遥远的地方就可以看见它。它是最能引起人们对家乡和祖国的情感的。①在佛教未到中国之前,我们的国土上已经有过一种高耸的多层建筑物,就是汉代的“重楼”。②秦汉的封建主常常有追求长生不老和会见神仙的思想,幻想仙人总在云雾缥缈的高处。有“仙人好楼居”的说法,因此建造高楼,企图引诱仙人下降。③佛教初来的时候,带来了印度“率堵坡”的概念和形象——一个座上覆放着半圆形的塔身,上立一根“刹”竿,穿着几层“金盘”。后来这个名称首先失去了“窣”字,“堵坡”变成“塔婆”,最后省去“婆”字而简称为“塔”。④中国后代的塔,就是在重楼的顶上安上一个“窣堵坡”而形成的。

以下不属于“塔”的成因的一项是( )。

A.秦汉的封建主常常幻想成仙、遇仙和长生不老

B.佛教带来了“窣堵坡”这一概念和具体的形象

C.由于口语传承中概念和语音的变化,使“率堵坡”变成了“塔”

D.佛教的信仰和追求,使人们想有一种高耸人云、引人注目、令人产生丰富想象和联想的建筑

答案

参考答案:A

解析: 选项A是“重楼”的成因。故选A。

     You want to know about my staying in America, right? Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening

experience to study here.

     In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade. However, I didn't know how different

textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut.

     When I first studied English, I was told to say, "I am fine" when people say "How are you?" But in the US,

I found that people say, "I am good" or "I'm tired".

     One day, someone greeted me with "What's up?" It made me confused. I thought for a moment and then

smiled because I didn't know what to say.

     Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures.

     To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan (晒黑). However, in China,

girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or "whiter".

     I was also surprised by how hardworking US students are. In China, schoolwork is almost everything,

so we study hard and that's it. But here, a "good" student gets good grades, does a lot of for the public and

plays sports or music.

     The kids here are so talented, I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and

that I have never thought about sports.
