A【文章大意】 本文是一篇說明文,主要介紹了倫敦著名旅游景點的相關(guān)信息。1.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)對第一個景點The Coca-Cola London Eye的介紹的第一句“Discover the view youll never forget as you soar above the fantastic London skyline and see all that this amazing city has to offer.”可知,在那里可以看到美麗的天際線,故選A。2.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三個景點St Pauls Cathedral介紹的參觀時間“OFFER TIMES: Mon.Sat. 8:3016:30”,并結(jié)合選項可知,選項D符合要求,故選D。3.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)對最后一個景點Westminster Abbey介紹的第一句“Kings, queens, statesmen and soldiers; poets, priests and heroesWestminster Abbey is a must-see living exhibition of British history.”可知,威斯敏斯特教堂充分展現(xiàn)了英國的歷史,故選B。4.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三個景點St Pauls Cathedral介紹的收費標(biāo)準(zhǔn)“2FOR1: $18.00”,并結(jié)合題干可知,兩對夫婦要去那里需要付費18*2=36,故選C。B【文章大意】 本文是一篇說明文,主要講述了忙碌的生活方式導(dǎo)致英國傳統(tǒng)的每周一次的家庭“周日烤肉”活動幾乎成為過去時的現(xiàn)象。5.A推理判斷題。根據(jù)對第二段的整體理解可知,在這個忙碌的現(xiàn)代世界里,人們似乎沒有時間和耐心烤肉了,由此可推知,忙碌的生活方式導(dǎo)致周日烤肉活動正在逐漸消失,故選A。6.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段前兩句“The Guardian further explained that the eating of the big meal is only the half of it. The Sunday roast also makes for relaxed morning activities in the kitchen, and the table becomes the perfect place to share good food and chat with family and friends.”可知,周日烤肉活動有助于人們在廚房里放松,餐桌成了親朋好友分享美食以及聊天的好地方。由此可知,吃大餐只是周日烤肉活動的一部分,故it指的是周日烤肉這個老傳統(tǒng),故選C。7.C觀點態(tài)度題。根據(jù)本文對周日烤肉傳統(tǒng)的介紹,尤其是最后一段的敘述可知,該傳統(tǒng)活動是一個有利于家人及朋友交流共處的好機會。所以,對于這項傳統(tǒng)的逐漸消失,作者深表遺憾。故選C。.【文章大意】 本文是一篇說明文,主要介紹了科技正在改變英國人的生活方式,這種改變弊大于利。1.that/which考查定語從句。that/which引導(dǎo)定語從句,在從句中作主語,修飾先行詞a research。2.longer考查比較級。根據(jù)語境中比較級符號than可知,此處用比較級形式。3.reasons考查名詞復(fù)數(shù)。與語境one of呼應(yīng)可知,此處用可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式,即reasons。4.watching考查省略結(jié)構(gòu)。本句是一個省略句。當(dāng)從句主語和主句主語一致時,從句主語和系動詞可以被省略,即出現(xiàn)“連詞+非謂語動詞”的用法。非謂語動詞的形式取決于從句謂語動詞和句子主語之間的關(guān)系,此處表示主動,故用現(xiàn)在分詞的形式。5.is考查主謂一致。watching television是動名詞作主語,句子謂語用單數(shù)形式。6.an考查冠詞。average在此處是名詞,表示平均值的概念,且與數(shù)字連接,表示具體含義,故用不定冠詞修飾。7.found考查動詞時態(tài)。與上文looked呼應(yīng)可知,事情發(fā)生在過去,故用一般過去時。8.frequently考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。副詞修飾動詞、形容詞、副詞或者整個句子,在句子中作狀語。本句中副詞frequently修飾動詞。9.addicted考查固定詞組搭配。be addicted to意為“沉迷于”,符合語境,故用addicted。10.On考查介詞。on the other hand意為“另一方面”,符合語境,故用介詞on。.Dear Li Lei,Im proud to tell you what you heard of is true.As is proved, that some UK primary schools will use 36 maths textbooks, exercise books, and teachers guides publishing by the Shanghai Century Publishing (SCP). The textbooks will be used in both Shanghai or published andthe UK at a same time. It is the first time Chinese textbooks had been adopted by a developed country in so a the have suchsystematic and large-scale way. The textbooks have been listed as a sample by the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics of the UK. WithoutSCPs permission, British publisher Harper Collins, the UK Withpublisher of the textbooks, will be responsibly for the promotion of the schoolbooks. responsibleDont we take pride in you Chinese? usYours,Li Hua
