A Life with Birds 有鸟陪伴的生活For nearly 17 years David Cope has worked as one of the Tower of Londons yeoman warders, better known to tourists as beefeaters. David, 64, lives in a three-bedroomed flat right at the top of the Byward Tower, one of the gatehouses. From our bedroom we have a marvellous view of Tower Bridge and the奇妙的景色Thames, says David. The Tower of London is famous for its ravens, the large black birds which have lived there for over three centuries. David was immediately fascinated by the birds and when he was offered the post of Raven Master eight years ago he had no hesitation in accepting it. The birds have now become my life and Im always aware of the fact that I am maintaining a tradition. The legend says that if the ravens leave the Tower, England will fall to enemies, and its my job to make sure this doesnt happen! David devotes about four hours a day to the care of the ravens. He has grown to love them and the fact that he lives right next to them is ideal. I can keep a close eye on them all the time, and not just when Im working. At first, Davids wife Mo was not keen on the idea of life in the Tower, but she too will be sad to leave when he retires next year. When we look out of our windows, we see history all around us, and we are taking it in and storing it up for our future memories.

In the film Play It to the Bone he plays the part of a middleweight boxer alongside Woody Harrelson. During the making of the film Harrelson kept complaining that the fight scenes werent very convincing, so one day he suggested that he and Banderas should have a fight for real. The Spanish actor wasnt keen on the idea at first, but he was eventually persuaded by his co-star to put on his gloves and climb into the boxing ring. However, when he realized how seriously his opponent was taking it all, he began to regret his decision to fight. And then in the third round, Harrelson hit Banderas so hard in the face that he actually broke his nose. His wife, actress Melanie Griffith, was furious that he had been playing silly macho games. She was right, confesses Banderas, and I was a fool to take a risk like that in the middle of a movie. He was reminded of the time he broke his leg during a football match in his native Malaga. He had always dreamed of becoming a soccer star, of performing in front of a big crowd, but doctors told him his playing days were probably over. Thats when I decided to take up acting; I saw it as another way of performing, and achieving recognition. What happened to me on that football pitch was, you might say, my first lucky break. Actor Antonio Banderas is used to breaking bones, and it always seems to happen when hes 1 sport. In the film Play It to the Bone he 2 the part of a middleweight boxer alongside Woody Harrelson. 3 the making of the film Harrelson 4 complaining that the fight 5 werent very convincing, so one day he suggested that he and Banderas should have a fight for real. The Spanish actor wasnt 6 on the idea at first, but he was 7 persuaded by his co-star to put on his gloves and climb into the boxing ring. However, when he realized how seriously his 8 was taking it all, he began to regret his decision to fight. And then in the third round, Harrelson hit Banderas 9 hard in the face that he actually broke his nose. His wife, actress Melanie Griffith, was furious that he had been playing silly macho games. She was right, confesses Banderas, and I was a fool to 10 a risk like that in the middle of a movie. 演员Antonio Banderas经常骨折，而且它似乎总是发生在运动时。在影片拳拳到骨中，他与Woody Harrelson并肩，扮演一个中量级拳击手。在影片制作过程中，Harrelson不停地抱怨整个打斗场面并不是很令人信服，所以一天，他提议他和Banderas应该进行一场真正的打斗。这位西班牙演员起初对这一想法并不热衷，但最终他还是被他的搭档说服了，他戴上他的手套，爬上了拳击台。然而，当他意识到他的对手是全心全意投入进来时，他开始后悔自己要打斗的决定。在第三轮，Harrelson狠狠地打在Banderas的脸上，以至于居然打破了Banderas的鼻子。女演员Melanie Griffith，他的妻子对他进行这样一场“傻男子气概的游戏”非常愤怒。“她是对的”，Banderas承认道，“我在电影拍摄过程中进行这样一个冒险真是一个傻瓜。”他记起在他的故乡马拉加进行的一场足球比赛，那次他的腿骨骨折了。他一直梦想成为一个足球明星，在众多观众前比赛。但他的医生告诉他，他的比赛生涯也许就要结束了。“就在那时我决定开始演戏;我认为这是另外一种比赛并且能够得到认可。可以这么说，发生在那次足球场上的事对我而言，是一次幸运的骨折。”词汇:middleweight / midlweit/ n. 中量级拳击手convincing /knvinsi/ a.有说服力的，令人信服的furious /fju:ris/ a. 暴怒的，强烈的 macho / m:tu/ a. 雄壮的，男子气概的 confess / knfes/ v. 承认，坦白注释:1. . plays the part of a middleweight boxer alongside . :与并肩，扮演一个中量级拳击 手2. . was reminded of the time . :.想起的时候练习:1.

A) up B) on C) to D) over14. A) further B) additional C) different D) another15. A) match B) pitch C) court D) course答案与题解:1. C 根据句意，每次骨折似乎总是发生在做运动时，应当选用动词 do 0 practise 表示“练习”， 后面应跟某一项具体的训练，而不是 sport，所以正确答案为 C。2. A play the part of .为固定搭配，意为“扮演一个.的角色”，其他三项均不合适。3. D 联系上下文，根据句意，在影片制作过程中，所以应当用 during。4. A 根据句意，Harrelson 在影片制作过程中不断地抱怨，而且后面的动词complain 用的是ing 形式，因此动词 keep“连续，不断”最为恰当。continue 后加动词 ing 形式一般表示在停顿后重新开始、继续，carry 一般后面跟介词on ，表示“进行某项事务”，insist 表示“坚决主张”，不合句意，所以选 A。5. C 联系上下文，因为是影片中的打斗场景，所以这里 scene 是正确答案。6. B be keen on 为固定搭配，表示“对感兴趣，对.热衷”，interest 后面配介词 in ，enthusiastic 后面配介词 of。7. B 联系上下文，作者要表达的是最终他还是被他的搭档说服了，副词eventually 放在动词 persuade 之前，lastly 表示“最后一点，最后”，“at the end”一般放在段落的最后，表示最后怎么样。8. C 根据句意，当他意识到是全心全意投人进来时，他开始后悔自己要打斗的决定，显然是对手非常认真的对待这场打斗，所以 opponent 是正确答案。9. D so. that .固定搭配，太以至于，根据句意，“Harrelson 如此狠地打在 Banderas 的脸上，以至于居然打破了 Banderas 的鼻子”，其他选项都不适合。10. A固定搭配 take a risk ，表示“冒险”。11. B 联系上下文，根据句意，他记起在他的故乡马拉加进行的一场足球比赛，是因为鼻子骨折这件事促使他想起了故乡的那次比赛，remind 表示“提醒”，符合句意。remember 表示“自然想起，记起”不合句意。12. C 根据句意和后面的介词of ，显然，“他一直梦想成为一个足球明星”，dream 是正确答案。 pretend 表示“假装”，后面眼介词 to，不合句意;look forward 表示叫“向往”，后面跟介词1 0 ，不合句意。13. A固定搭配 take up sth. ，表示“开始从事某事”，根据句意，作者要表达的是“我决定开始演戏”，因此 up 是正确答案。14. D 联系上下文，作者显然把它看成是另外一种比赛，所以只有 another 符合句意。15. B 词组 football pitch，表示足球场。前面由介词 on 引导，后面一定是场地，也就是足球场，而不是 match“比赛”。court 表示“网球场”，course 表示“跑道”，均不符合句意。第四篇 A Success Story 一个成功的故事At 19, Ben Way is already a millionaire, and one of a growing number of teenagers who have made Their fortune through the Internet. what makes Bens story all the more remarkable is that he is dyslexic, and was told by teachers at his junior school that he would never be able to read or write properly .

D 这里应该是一个由 what 引导的从句为主语的句子，表示“使得 Ben 的故事更引人注意的 是”，其他三项均无法引导该从句。 3. B 根据句意，是 Ben 被告知，因此选项 told 为E确答案。said 意为“被说”，suggested 意为“被建议”，reported 意为“被报道”，均不合句意。 4. C 联系上下文，了解到本句表达的是 Ben 曾被他的初中教师告知他将永远不能正确读写，而不是完全无法读写，因此 properly 才符合句意。absolutely 表示“完全地，绝对地”，totally 表示“完全地”，thoroughly 表示“彻底地，完全地”，均不合句意。 5. A 根据句意，很容易了解 Ben 是要证明他们对他的判断错了，而不是说他们的判断是假的、不真实的，或者不公平的，所以 wrong 是正确答案。 6. A 根据动词前的主语 local authorities 和后面的介词 with 可以知道他是被提供了一台个人电脑，所以选项 provide 为正确答案。如用 give 则不需跟介词 with，如用 offer 则需跟 to，如用 get 则需前面的主语是 Ben。 7. D 根据句意，易知文中耍表达的是虽然他不能阅读使用指南，因此 unable 为正确答案。impossible 表示“不可能的”，incapable 表示“元能力的”，-般形容不能胜任的; disabled 表示“有残缺的”。 8. C 根据句意，易知文中要表达的是在爸爸的鼓励下。若用 promised 则表示在爸爸的承诺 下，il1-vited 则是在爸爸的邀请下，animated 表示有生气的，均不符合句意，因此 encouraged 为正确答案。 9. B 根据句意，“Ben 很快就开始以自己的知识和能力收费一二每小时10英镑，只有 charge符合句意。 10. D 联系上下文，根据句意，Ben 创建了自己的公司一-Quad Computer，固定搭配 set up 表示“创建”，其他三项均不合适，所以选 D。 11. C 根据句意，Ben 把所有的精力投入到公司经营当中，根据后面的介词 to。可知，只有devote 是正确答案。 12. A 词组搭配 a couple of 表示“一些”，few 一般形容只需少量的几个，little 形容不可数名词，文中要表达的是公司已经发展壮大，Ben 需要雇用一些员工，因此只有 couple 符合句意。 13. B 根据句意，Ben 开始与更大的公司做生意，固定搭配 do business with .符合句意。其他三项均不合适。 14. A 固定搭配 overcome challenge，表示“克服困难，克服挑战”，因此选 A。overlook 表示“不注意，忽视”，overtake 表示“赶上”，overtake 表示“把做得过分”。15. D 根据句意，“价值2500万英镑的交易”，显然 worth 是正确答案。valuable 表示“珍贵的，值钱的”，estimated 表示“估计，预算”，priced 表示“给定价，附有定价的”。A Success Story 重点笔记（含可能替换选项） 绿色为可能替换的选项 红色为教材选项 A Success Story 一个成功的故事 At 19, Ben Way is already a millionaire, and one of a growing number of （a number of 表示许多，后跟可数或不可数名词）teenagers who have (1)（固定搭配make fortune，意为“制造财富，发财”） Their fortune through the Internet.
