He added that it was unclear what the church's 67 employees would be doing in the future. French President Emmanuel Macron said Tuesday that he wanted the church rebuilt in five years.

答案以及解析
一、填空
1.答案：is being treated
解析：考查现在进行时的被动语态。句意：汤姆现在正在医院接受治疗，因此他目前不能参加会议。根据now可知，本空应用现在进行时表示说话时正在发生的动作；且句子主语Tom和动词treat之间为被动关系，故本句应用现在进行时的被动语态。
2.答案：is being typed
解析：考查现在进行时的被动语态。句意：你的实验报告现在正在打印中，很快就会完成。根据now及空后内容可知，本空应用现在进行时表示说话时正在发生的动作；且句子主语your experiment report和动词type之间为被动关系，故本句应用现在进行时的被动语态。
3.答案：are being made
4.答案：is being repaired
5.答案：is being broadcast
二、将下面的句子改成被动句
6.答案：is being dried
7.答案：are being sent
8.答案：are being studied
9.答案：is being written
10.答案：is being built
三、阅读理解
答案：1-3 ABD
解析：1.词义猜测题。根据画线部分前的The island that houses the church has been closed可知，大火后，教堂所在的岛被关闭，所以对周围民众进行遣散，所以画线词意为“疏散，使……撤离”，故选A。
2.主旨大意题。根据本段中的The travel company recommends people visit other places…可以判断大火之后旅游公司向游客推荐了其他景点。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段A large campaign to raise money is already underway to rebuild the church. Up to Wednesday, donations had come to $1 billion.可知一场筹集资金的大规模运动已经开始，截至周三，捐款已达10亿美元，所以可推知大火之后更多的钱将捐赠给重建工程。
四、语法填空
答案：① solution② by③ encouraging④ is being destroyed⑤ to build
⑥ which⑦ has had⑧ probably⑨ a⑩ their
解析：①考查名词。根据设空处前的定冠词the可知此处应为名词，所以填solution。
②考查介词。by后面跟交通工具，意为“乘坐……”。
③考查形容词。根据空前a different and和空后idea可知应用形容词。encouraging意为“令人鼓舞的;振奋人心的”。
④考查时态和语态。根据前后语境可知此处是指地球正在被破坏，故用现在进行时的被动语态。
⑤考查非谓语动词。此处用不定式作目的状语。
⑥考查定语从句。句意:作为回应，全世界的人一起工作来建造一个巨型机械系统，它可以把地球推得远离太阳。先行词是a giant engine system，为物，设空处引导非限制性定语从句且在从句中作主语，故填which。
⑦考查时态。句意：时至今日，家园这个词已经成为中国人心里一个柔软的点。根据时间状语Up to now可知此处应用现在完成时。
⑧考查副词。此处用副词修饰后面的动词makes。
⑨考查冠词及固定句型。句意:这是许多人经过辛苦的漂泊回到自己家乡的时刻。it is a time when…为固定句式，意为“……的时刻”，故此处应用不定冠词a。
⑩考查形容词性物主代词。hometown前面缺定语，所以应该用形容词性物主代词their来作定语。
