Tower of London Location:Tower Hill Tel:444827777216 The Tower of London is known as a prison,and it has a history of about nine hundred and forty years.Even though the Towers violent years are long gone,an atmosphere of death remains.Today,guided tours are available.The main attraction for most visitors is the breathtaking Crown Jewels.It is also a chance to see the ravens that live within the walls.A tale says that if they ever leave,Britain will again fall to a foreign attack.Interestingly enough,orders have been received to cut their wings short! Elizabeth Tower Location:Parliament Square Tel:+448701566366 “Big Ben” is the name of the clock inside a famous tower that forms part of the Houses of Parliament (议会大厦).It weighs in at over 13.5 tons,and the pendulum (摆锤),which beats once every two seconds,is 13 feet long and weighs 690 pounds.The clock was named “Big Ben” after the First Commissioner of Works,and since 1885,a light above it is lit when the House of Commons (众议院) is in session. 【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了伦敦的几处著名景点塔桥、伦敦塔和伊丽莎白塔。 21.Whats the purpose of this passage?

D.the First Commissioner. 答案 A 解析词义猜测题。根据上文的“The clock was named Big Ben after the First Commissioner of Works,and since 1885,”可知,it 指的是 the clock,也就是 Elizabeth Tower。 B (2019重庆一中高一上期中) German artist HA Schult is an unusual artist who uses trash to make sculptures.“We are living in the time of garbage,” says Schult.“I created a thousand sculptures of garbage.They are a mirror of ourselves.” Here,Schult was talking about his 1,000 trash sculptures in the form of humans.He first exhibited them in 1996 in the western German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. “They are social sculptures,” he explains.“They are not only sculptures for the eyes.They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live in a time of garbage.” So far,Schults social sculptures have been on show in Paris,in Moscows Red Square,on the Great Wall of China,and in the desert next to the Pyramids of Giza near Cairo. HA Schults work is unforgettable.Although his work has had a big influence on the art world,Schult remains modest (谦虚的) about his creations:“Artists have to learn every time.We are not important.All that counts is the time in which we are living.” Trash art has been around for years.But it seems that only the popular artists are regarded as true artists when working with trash.Why cant common people be considered artists when they use the same things and change them into some form of personal art?Maybe its because we all have our own preset ideas of what art is and isnt,or whom artists are or should be. You can be an artist like Schult if you try.Look at used metal cans.What might be done with them?Imagine them in any number of new uses,or imagine them simply as an art form.What about boxes or clothing?Boxes can usually serve as new storage containers and houses for pets.And clothing?Imagine taking old clothes and turning them into hats or hanging organizers. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。德国艺术家 Schult 制作的雕像都是用垃圾做成的,旨在提醒 人们现在生活在一个充满垃圾的时代,并号召人们关注环境问题。 25.What do we know about Schults sculptures? A.They served as garbage containers. B.They reflected environmental problems. C.They were first shown in Paris,France. D.They were to raise economic awareness. 答案 B 解析推理判断题。根据第一段的前三句可知,Schult 制作的雕塑都是用垃圾做成的,以此告诉人们我 们现在生活在一个充满垃圾的时代,这些垃圾做的雕像是我们自己的镜子。由此可推知,他这样做是 为了提醒人们关注环境问题。 26.What kind of message do HA Schults artistic works get across? A.An artist must be socially responsible. B.An artist must be as modest as possible. C.An artist must make garbage recyclable. D.An artist must take different kinds of artistic forms. 答案 A 解析推理判断题。根据第二段前两句可知,Schult 制作的垃圾雕像是社会雕塑,他们不仅是让人们观 看的,而且在传播一种思想:我们生活在充满垃圾的时代。由此可推知,艺术家要用艺术来承担起社会 责任,提醒人们关注环境问题。 27.What does HA Schult think is important? A.His artworks. B.The protection of environment. C.The time we are living in. D.Praise from people. 答案 C 解析细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Artists have to learn every time.We are not important.All that counts is the time in which we are living.”可知,C 项正确。 28.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.Could You Be a Trash Artist? B.What Are Social Sculptures? C.Do You Know about Trash Art? D.How Can We Deal with Used Cans? 答案 A 解析主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段第一句“You can be an artist like Schult if you try.”可知,只要我 们去尝试,每个人都可以成为像 Schult 的艺术家。B 项范围太大,C、D 两项与文章关联不紧。A 项 与中心思想一致。 C (2019全国) Before the 1830s,most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America,usually $8 to $10 a year.Today $8 or $10 seems a small amount of money,but at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens.Accordingly,newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades.In addition,most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience.They were dull and visually forbidding.But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s would change all that. The trend,then,was toward the “penny paper”a term referring to papers made widely available to the public.It meant any inexpensive newspaper;perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street. This development did not take place overnight.It had been possible(but not easy)to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830,but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printers office to purchase a copy.Street sales were almost unknown.However,within a few years,street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities.At first the price of single copies was seldom a pennyusually two or three cents was chargedand some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents.But the phrase “penny paper” caught the publics fancy,and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny. This new trend of newspapers for “the man on the street” did not begin well.Some of the early ventures(企业)were immediate failures.Publishers already in business,people who were owners of successful papers,had little desire to change the tradition.It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“便士报”产生的背景及其发展的艰难过程。 29.Which of the following best describes newspapers in America before the 1830s? A.Academic. B.Unattractive. C.Inexpensive. D.Confidential. 答案 B 解析细节理解题。根据第一段的第四、五句“In addition,most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience.They were dull and visually forbidding.”可知,当时的报纸枯燥无味,没有吸引 力。 30.What did street sales mean to newspapers? A.They would be priced higher. B.They would disappear from cities. C.They could have more readers. D.They could regain public trust. 答案 C 解析推理判断题。根据第二段的 “.papers made widely available to the public.”和“.that could be bought in single copies on the street.”可知,街头销售能让报纸有更多的读者。 31.Who were the newspapers of the new trend targeted at? A.Local politicians. B.Common people. C.Young publishers. D.Rich businessmen. 答案 B 解析细节理解题。根据最后一段的第一句 “This new trend of newsp
