单元检测（十三）Europe I ?阅读理解 A Our new house in Venice is by the side of the little San Cassian canal and a small square of the same name* We have a door which leads onto the street and two entrances from the water One runs under a rounded arch （拱门）into the ground floor of the house, which，as is customary in the city, is used instead of a cellar （地下室）for storing things. The second is used for our business activities and it is located in another building which has three floors. The house is almost 200 years old. It has beautiful arched windows and green-painted shutters （百叶窗）to keep out the cruel summer heat. When I lie in bed at night, I can hear the songs of the passing gondoliers （威尼斯小划船船夫）and the conversations in the square nearby. I understand why Uncle Leo runs his business here The prices are not too high. The location of the house is near the city centre and easy to find. Besides, the printing trade has many roots in this area of Venice, even if some of the old publishers from the area are no longer there. Venice is like a large copy of our old library at home in Spain, full of dark corners and unexpected surprises, some very close to me. Last night, while searching in the corners of the house，I found a single copy of Aristotle s Poetics, published in the city in 1502. I raced to Unde Leo with my discovery and a smile almost appeared on his face. “A find, boy! This' 11 fetch good money when I sell it down in the market?” “May I read a little first, sir? ” I asked, feeling worried. Leo has a frightening manner at times. “Books are for selling, not readings ” he replied immediately. But at least I had it for the night, since the dealers were by that time closed. 禧篇咖後 ; 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者在威尼斯的新家。 1.What does the underlined word “it ” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A ? A cellar B.
