本文講述了費(fèi)城市政廳的創(chuàng)建、規(guī)模、風(fēng)格及其功能等情況。
1.D It指Philadelphia,是由William Penn在1682年建立的,所以用found。
2.C費(fèi)城誕生的時間比美國建國(1776年) 還早,所以,它是一個具有重要?dú)v史意義的城市。
3.A先講建城,后面主要介紹市政廳。顯然,接下來就要介紹后者的完工。complete表"完成"、"建成"之意。
4.B從下文講述它的規(guī)?赏茰y出作者是要描述它的宏偉。因此用"最高"一詞最能吻合語境。
5.A after有"仿照"、"像"的意思。前面講面積、高度,接下來就要講風(fēng)格,而此處緊接"羅浮宮",顯然表示市政廳像羅浮宮。
6.D根據(jù)house的詞義可知此答案。
7.A從下文可知,二樓是接待有身份的人的地方,像國王、總統(tǒng)等,因此,用honored較合適。
8.A received指"已經(jīng)被接待的",為過去分詞,作定語。accepted表"被接受的",known 表"已知的"和visited表"拜訪過的",均與句意不符。
9.C kings、queens和prime ministers均為國家元首級人物,所以選擇C項(xiàng),與前者構(gòu)成同類。
10.D each強(qiáng)調(diào)"(多個中的) 每一個",certain 表"某一個",either表"(兩者中的) 一個"。而此處未說明多少個市長的數(shù)量,宜用each.
11.D photoed表"被拍照",taken也表"被拍照"兩者的動作對象應(yīng)為人或物;covered表"被覆蓋",與語境不符。painted表"被畫",符合文義,所以選D。
10.C permitted為"允許",invited表"邀請", ready表"樂意的",而這個地方已對外開放,成為一個景點(diǎn),所以用welcome最合適。
11.C那個巨大的雕像一定會給人留下深刻的印象,所以用詞組be impressed by。
12.A前文提到William Penn創(chuàng)立了Philadel?phia,所 以他是founder。
13.D重達(dá)55,348 pounds,用weighs。
14.A指帽檐周圍有23英尺,所以用around。
15.C從下文可知道是來參觀的觀光客,所以用visitors .
16.C河水在塔下面流淌,below為斜下方,un?der為正下方,down為”向下",above為”斜上方"。游客站在市政廳樓上,只能看到斜下方的河流。
17.D從本句后半句的比喻可知看到的是汽車,所以用cars。
20. B指眼睛所能看到的遠(yuǎn)處。

LONDON,England,a capital city full of art and history,an important political centre,a huge financial market place.
Whatever you think about London, visiting as a tourist is very different from living there. Each part of London has its own character. Some parts are richer than others,or more industrial, or have better housing.
Let's start with the centre, the "Square Mile". This is the oldest part of London. In the past,this is where all financial business was done. Not many people live here,but 300,000 people work here every day.
Moving west,we come to the West End. This busy shopping and entertainment district is bursting with things to do. Take a walk down Oxford Street, past big department stores like Sel-fridges and Harrods. Rents here are very high,a one-bedroom apartment may cost around 1000 pounds (14,845 yuan) a week.
Further away is West London. This area is more residential and very fashionable. Go see the home of Diana, the Princess of Wales:Kensington Palace. Notting Hill,made famous by the film starring Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts, is here.
The East End contains the Port of London,which historically is where many immigrants first arrived. Waves of French, Belgians, Jews,Pakistanis and Bangladeshis have all lived here. This makes the area very diverse(各式各樣的) ,but also quite poor. It has a reputation as being dangerous. Since London won the bid to hold the Olympics in 2012, many Londoners hope that housing, education and employment for many people in this area will improve.
It is difficult to be general about London. The city is made up of a "collection of villages", each area with its own character and community. Put them all together, and you have London, a international capital.
( ) 1. It can be inferred from the passage that .
A.more tourists would rather visit London thanFranceevery year
B.the West End in London is the oldest part of London
C.the film Notting Hill made the actress Julia Roberts famous in London

A.名聲,名譽(yù) B.治安 C.住房 D.環(huán)境
( ) 3. All of the following are true except .
A.Many people work in the oldest part of London every day
B.It costs quite a lot to rent a flat in West End
C.There are many immigrants in the east part of London
D.London will compete for the bid to hold the Olympic in 2012

Women have been making scientific discoveries since ancient times. Twelve women have won the Nobel Prize for science, one of the highest honors in the world. Some women scientists never married,some worked with their husbands, and others raised large families. It has been difficult for women to be successful scientists.
In the early 1800s in England, Mary Anning became one of the first women recognized for her discoveries about the ancient history of the earth. Mary and her father collected fossils(4匕石) in their village on the south coast of Great Britain. Fossils are parts of plants or animals that have been saved in rocks for millions of years.

In 1891 ,a young Polish woman named Marie Sklodowska traveled to Paris to study phys?ics. She did so because she could not get a college education inPoland. She began working in the laboratory of a man named Pierre Curie. Marie and Pierre Curie got married and made many discoveries together. They received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 along with another sci?entist. Marie Curie became the first person to be awarded a second Nobel Prize in 1911,this time for Chemistry.
