22、e building such a big spinning structure suggested that people longed for bigger and better things in the future.Why did people think of building the London Eye?In fact it was inspired by great structures of the past like the very first observation wheel built for the Chicago World Expo of 1893.Its

23、twice the size of the wheel,but three times lighter,and much more comfortable.The London Eye is keeping natives and visitors entertained and awed(敬畏).In the London Eye,there are 32 capsules(舱).Each of the capsules can hold up to 25 people.And theyre air conditioned in summer,heated in winter.From th

24、ese capsules the visitors can see the most beautiful views of London.It was difficult to assemble(安装) and put a wheel of this size.And it required new technology and a lot of imagination.The parts of the London Eye were sent up the Thames River,and the wheel was assembled on temporary(暂时的) platforms

25、 on the river.Lifting it into an upright position was a major challenge.It took a week to winch(吊) it up to its final position.Now the London Eye is regarded as a monument to new millennium.And many visitors from all over the world come to visit it.21How tall is Big Ben?A.443 feet.B.340-350 feet.C.5

26、50 feet.D.250-260 feet.答案：B解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第一、二句可知伦敦眼高443英尺,它比大本钟高了100英尺,由此可计算出大本钟高在340350英尺之间。22Why did London build the London Eye?A.To set a new record.B.To celebrate the Queens birthday.C.To celebrate the coming of 2019.D.To beat the first observation wheel in Chicago.答案：C解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第三句可知建伦敦眼是为

27、了庆祝2019年的到来。23The underlined word “sent” in Paragraph 4 probably means . A.launchedB.setC.made D.lifted答案：D解析：词义理解题。根据本段倒数第二句可知把它直立起来是一个很大的挑战,由此可知伦敦眼是在泰晤士河上被吊起的,故在这里sendup的意思同liftup。24From the text,we can learn that . A.it took great trouble for people to build the London EyeB.the London E

28、ye has been changed into a monumentC.the latest technology was used to assemble the London EyeD.imagination is not very important to build the London Eye答案：A解析：推理判断题。根据第四段第一句及以下的内容可推知建造伦敦眼经历了很多困难。BThe BBC was founded in 1922,including radio and television services.It is based at Broadcasting House i

29、n London.The BBC is controlled by some governors chosen by the government,but these people have freedom and the government cant interfere(干扰).That is,the BBC is supposed not to be the mouthpiece(代言人)of the government.It has to be as fair as possible in giving radio and television time to,for example

30、,political parties and religious(宗教)groups.There is a kind of interesting service in British-rental services.Many people prefer to rent their television sets instead of buying them.The rent for a black and white set is about 80 pence a week(1980).The rent of a color set is more than twice that of a

31、black and white set.If the sets go wrong,people can have them repaired free of charge or replaced immediately.Everyone has to buy a yearly licence,since there is no advertising on BBC radio or television.It is from the sale of licences that the BBC gets most of its money.A licence for a black and wh

32、ite set costs 8 pounds,and for a colour set 18 pounds a year.There are four specialized radio channels,which broadcast different kinds of programmes.Radio 1 is mainly pop music.Radio 2 deals with light music,sports and other programmes.Radio 3 broadcasts serious music,talks on serious subjects,etc.N

33、ews broadcasts are mainly given by Radio 4.There are special programmes for Northern Ireland,Scotland,Wales,and certain parts of England.It also broadcasts programmes about Britainin many different languages as well as in English to all parts of the world.25The officials in charge of the BBC . 

34、A.must say what the government wants to sayB.should give more time to political parties than to religious groupsC.are elected by the citizens from all over the countryD.can decide things without the permission of the government答案：D解析：推理判断题。由第二段可知,BBC不是政府的喉舌,因此A项和B项都不对;控制BBC的官员是由政府选定的,因而C项也可排除。故选D项。2

35、6If you wants to watch TV at home in Britain,you . A.has to buy a television set of his ownB.must rent a TV setC.has to buy a licence once a yearD.can change his damaged TV set for a new one without payment答案：C解析：细节理解题。第五段有个关键词“yearly”,意为“每年,年年”(onceayear),故选C项。A、B和D三项说法都过于绝对,与原文不符。27How does B

36、BC get most of its money?A.It gets money from all kinds of advertisements.B.The BBC depends on the rent of TV sets.C.The BBC gets money mainly by selling licences and TV sets.D.It gets its money mainly by selling licences.答案：D解析：细节理解题。由第五段第二句可以得出答案。28Which of the following is NOT true?A.The BBC radi

37、o services include 4 radio channels.B.The BBC broadcasts to foreign countries only in English.C.The programmes of the four radio channels are not the same.D.The BBC special programmes are not only for foreign countries but also for different areas in its own country.答案：B解析：细节理解题。文章最后一句话表明,BBC除用英文以外,

38、还用许多种语言向世界广播。显然B项是不正确的。CEngland is not a big country:from north to south and from east to west it is only about three hundred miles across.But for a small country it has a surprising range of climate(多样性的气候).People who have never visited England or who have visited only one part of it often make the

39、 mistake of thinking that it is a cold and wet country.Except for the summer months of June to September,this is probably true of the north of England and the Midlands.In the south,however,the climate is much more pleasant.One result is that when people retire(退休)from the job in the north,they often

40、 prefer to move down to the south.Perhaps the warmest part of the country is the southwest,which consists of (is made up of)the counties(郡)of Devon and Cornwall,where palm trees,bamboo and many semitropical(亚热带)plants grow well.Flowers and vegetables ripen(成熟)as much as a month earlier than those el

41、sewhere.Farmers in the areas gain a higher price for their vegetables and flowers because they are ready earlier.In winter there may be several feet of snow in other parts of England but there will probably be no snow at all in the southwest.This may be one of the reasons why the southwest is one of

42、 Englands most popular holiday areas.29England is a country . A.with a cold and wet climateB.with a pleasant climateC.with a surprising climateD.with climates of various kinds答案：D解析：概括判断题。根据文章可知在英格兰不同的地区有不同的气候。30According to the passage,. A.flowers and vegetables from Devon are on the mark

43、et one month earlierB.farmers in the southwest grow as many vegetables and flowers as farmers elsewhereC.people in the southwest have to pay a higher price for vegetables and flowersD.vegetables in Cornwall ripen as much as a month earlier than flowers答案：A解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第一、二、三句话可得出A项是正确答案。31In the no

44、rth of England and the Midlands,. A.it is cold and wet all the year roundB.the climate is pleasant as a wholeC.it is warm most of the time in a yearD.only the summer is not cold or wet答案：D解析：推理判断题。根据第一段第三、四句话“PeoplewhohavenevervisitedEnglandorwhohavevisitedonlyonepartofitoftenmakethemistakeofth

45、inkingthatitisacoldandwetcountry.ExceptforthesummermonthsofJunetoSeptember,thisisprobablytrueofthenorthofEnglandandtheMidlands.”可推断出,英格兰北部和中部诸郡除六至九月的夏季之外,其他季节气候都寒冷潮湿。32In winter,people in Devon and Cornwall,. A.never see any snowB.seldom see snowC.often see snowD.may have several feet of snow答案

46、：B解析：细节理解题。根据第二段首句可知这两个地方位于英格兰西南部,再由倒数第二句话“InwintertheremaybeseveralfeetofsnowinotherpartsofEnglandbuttherewillprobablybenosnowatallinthesouthwest.”可知英格兰西南部冬季很有可能不下雪。第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Working together is an art form.Sharing skills,talents and,above all,lea
