Question

The main hall of a 135-year old temple in Shanghai will be moved 30 meters to its north in order to create more space for visitors. Thousands of people gather and see the moving of the temple that started on Saturday.

The Mahavira Hall, of Shanghai's Jade Buddha Temple, was built in 1882. The temple in downtown Shanghai attracts more than two million visitors a year. Daily visitors can reach as high as 100,000.

A major renovation project started in 2014. The moving of the temple started on Saturday and is set to be finished in two weeks. The main hall of the temple will be relocated 30.66 meters northward within the temple and elevated 1.05 meters.

Master Jue Xing, abbot of the Jade Buddha Temple and vice president of the Buddhist Association of China, said moving the hall will create more space between buildings and reduce the risks of a stampede as the temple is usually tightly packed.

Buddhist statues and relics in the hall will also be moved together with the hall, he said.

Workers pumped cement into the foundation of the hall because the old building's foundation was rather soft, he said.

Statues and other relics in the building were stabilized and protected with frames to avoid damage, he said.

The moving will be carried out with the help of relic preservation experts from the Shanghai Museum, he said.

Shanghai has had several successful projects to move old buildings, including a school in 2009 and a concert hall in 2002. On Aug. 31^st, Shanghai Concert Hall began to move 66.46 meters northward after the last concert was held in the previous location and reopened to audience two years later. The moving was recognized as a wonder of construction protection and inspired the experts of the moving of the the Mahavira Hall.

细节理解题属直接解答性问题，是阅读理解题中最简单的一种，多数属中低难度的题。但高考所占的比例大，应特别引起注意。事实和细节题的命题特点是：对文章或某一段落中的一些特定细节或文章重要事实的理解，一般包括直接理解题和语义转化题。直接理解题能在原文直接找到答案，而语义转化题则需要将题目信息与原文信息加工或整理后才能得出结论。

做细节理解题具体方法与步骤如下：

1.略读材料，大概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨；本文讲述的是上海近年来已经有了几次成功移动古建筑的经验，玉佛寺的大殿将向北移动30米，以及为此提前做的准备工作。

2.按文章的体裁，作者写作的组织模式及有关的信息词。如for example, first, second…等预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实；

3.将自己精力放在寻找你所需要的细节上。快速通篇跳读，全文扫视，找到细节出处，待找到含细节句子时，放慢速度，仔细核对比较内容，直至找到答案。如小题1要求判断文章细节，根据第三段The main hall of the temple will be relocated 30.66 meters northward within the temple and elevated 1.05 meters.可知这个庙宇的主殿将向北迁移30.66米不是整个庙宇，A错误；根据Buddhist statues and relics in the hall will also be moved together with the hall可知B正确；根据Workers pumped cement into the foundation of the hall可知C正确；根据Statues and other relics in the building were stabilized and protected with frames to avoid damage可知D正确。
