A【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了伦敦著名旅游景点的相关信息。1.A细节理解题。根据对第一个景点The Coca-Cola London Eye的介绍的第一句“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,在那里可以看到美丽的天际线,故选A。2.D细节理解题。根据第三个景点St Pauls Cathedral介绍的参观时间“OFFER TIMES: Mon.Sat. 8:3016:30”,并结合选项可知,选项D符合要求,故选D。3.B细节理解题。根据对最后一个景点Westminster Abbey介绍的第一句“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现了英国的历史,故选B。4.C细节理解题。根据第三个景点St Pauls Cathedral介绍的收费标准“2FOR1: $18.00”,并结合题干可知,两对夫妇要去那里需要付费18*2=36,故选C。B【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了忙碌的生活方式导致英国传统的每周一次的家庭“周日烤肉”活动几乎成为过去时的现象。5.A推理判断题。根据对第二段的整体理解可知,在这个忙碌的现代世界里,人们似乎没有时间和耐心烤肉了,由此可推知,忙碌的生活方式导致周日烤肉活动正在逐渐消失,故选A。6.C推理判断题。根据最后一段前两句“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,周日烤肉活动有助于人们在厨房里放松,餐桌成了亲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动的一部分,故it指的是周日烤肉这个老传统,故选C。7.C观点态度题。根据本文对周日烤肉传统的介绍,尤其是最后一段的叙述可知,该传统活动是一个有利于家人及朋友交流共处的好机会。所以,对于这项传统的逐渐消失,作者深表遗憾。故选C。.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了科技正在改变英国人的生活方式,这种改变弊大于利。1.that/which考查定语从句。that/which引导定语从句,在从句中作主语,修饰先行词a research。2.longer考查比较级。根据语境中比较级符号than可知,此处用比较级形式。3.reasons考查名词复数。与语境one of呼应可知,此处用可数名词复数形式,即reasons。4.watching考查省略结构。本句是一个省略句。当从句主语和主句主语一致时,从句主语和系动词可以被省略,即出现“连词+非谓语动词”的用法。非谓语动词的形式取决于从句谓语动词和句子主语之间的关系,此处表示主动,故用现在分词的形式。5.is考查主谓一致。watching television是动名词作主语,句子谓语用单数形式。6.an考查冠词。average在此处是名词,表示平均值的概念,且与数字连接,表示具体含义,故用不定冠词修饰。7.found考查动词时态。与上文looked呼应可知,事情发生在过去,故用一般过去时。8.frequently考查词性转换。副词修饰动词、形容词、副词或者整个句子,在句子中作状语。本句中副词frequently修饰动词。9.addicted考查固定词组搭配。be addicted to意为“沉迷于”,符合语境,故用addicted。10.On考查介词。on the other hand意为“另一方面”,符合语境,故用介词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
