It was built in wet land on foundations of oak tree trunks (树干). When the land was drained (排水) later, the wood broke down, causing one side of the tower to be a little lower than the other. In 1975, the tower became a real hazard and people were not allowed to enter until the foundations were made strong again. The lean of the tower is now about five degrees.The Leaning Tower of PisaThe work of building the tower began in 1173, and was finally completed in 1372. In fact, it began to lean after just a couple of floors were built. And this condition continued in the centuries after its completion. The tower was finally closed to the public in 1990 after people failed to stabilize (使稳固) its foundations. In 2001, it was reopened after engineers removed soil from underneath its raised side. Now it leans just an angle of 3.97 degrees.Capital Gate of Abu DhabiCompleted in 2011, the Capital Gate tower in Abu Dhabi was designed to lean eighteen degrees. The building stands next to the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre and contains, among other things, a fine hotel with wonderful views of the harbour. Also known as the leaning tower of Abu Dhabi, the tower is one of the tallest buildings in the city.Big Ben of LondonThe building leans 0.26 degrees to the northwest. This was mainly caused by the engineering projects that have been carried out in the ground below it since the late 1800s. The tower, which has been continuously open since it was completed in 1858, has nowhere near the lean of the Tower of Pisa and is still completely safe to enter.1. The underlined word “hazard” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_”.A. dangerB. churchC. castleD. treasure2. What can we learn about the Leaning Tower of Pisa?A. It didnt lean until ten years after its completion.B. It took almost two hundred years to complete.C. It was built on foundations of oak tree trunks.D. It has been open since it was completed.3. Which of the following towers leans the most according to the text?A. The church tower of Suurhusen.B. The Leaning Tower of Pisa.C. Capital Gate of Abu Dhabi.D. Big Ben of London.4. What would be the best title for the text?A. The history of towersB. The art of building a towerC. The leaning towers of the worldD. Top four tallest towers in Europe【答案】1. A 2. B 3. C 4. C【解析】这是一片说明文，文章介绍了四座世界上有名的斜塔，清晰的介绍了各自的建造历史以及其倾斜程度。【1题详解】推理判断题。根据下文“peoplewerenotallowedtoenter”和“madestrongagain”可知，此处代表的是教堂不够安全，还不允许人们进入，B选项意为教堂但没有表达出教堂为什么不能让人门进入的性质，能推测到“hazard”的意思是危险，符合题意。A危险;B教堂;C城堡;D宝藏;故选A.【2题详解】细节理解题。首先定位到第三段有关比萨斜塔的描述，由文中“Theworkofbuildingthetowerbeganin1173,andwasfinallycompletedin1372”可知比萨斜塔在1173年开始建造，于1372年建造成功，因此他用了将近200年建造成功正确，故选B.【3题详解】细节理解题。此题需要对比文中提到的四座建筑，ThechurchtowerofSuurhusen由文中“Theleanofthetowerisnowaboutfivedegrees”可知现在倾斜5度；TheLeaningTowerofPisa由第三段“Nowitleansjustanangleof3.97degrees.” 可知现在倾斜3.97度；CapitalGateofAbuDhabi由第四段“designedtoleaneighteendegrees”可知设计倾斜18度；BigBenofLondon由第五段“Thebuildingleans0.26degreestothenorthwest”可知其倾斜0.26度；综上对比CapitalGateofAbuDhabi倾斜最厉害，故选C.【4题详解】主旨大意题。根据全文以及小标题可知此文主要介绍了四座世界文明的斜塔，关键在于都是倾斜的，因此选标题应该注重“倾斜”C符合题意故选C.【名师点睛】一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力。考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。抓主题句是快速掌握文章大意主要方法。主题句一般出现在文章的开头和结尾。 主题句往往对全文起提示、启迪、概括、归纳之作用，主旨大意题，归纳概括题，中心思想题往往直接可从主题句中找到答案。二、看题干，带着问题读文章。首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。三、 逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer, imply, suggest, indicate等。四、 猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会“顺藤摸瓜”，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。如：第1篇的第2题 推理判断题。由第二段中的Pen and I planned to stay where we were, try and look big, and frighten it away 和下文他们的表现可推断到答案。 第3篇的第2题 词义猜测题。根据句中的But 以及下文介绍晚饭吃得太晚的弊端可猜测答案。BSundays, I walk to the supermarket. Mother hands me the grocery list and puts money in my pocket, hoping it will be enough. Shes had a hard day, and Ive had a hard week. Nothing out of the ordinary happens when I get to the store. I grab the bread, some milk, and other things on the list. As I turn to head out, I see a beautiful dress in the window. I turn away, bitter that I could never own such a dress.Outside, I cannot stop thinking about that pretty dress. Its not fair that I can never have what I want. I work so hard to help my family and yet I get nothing in return, just another list to do. In my anger, I fail to realize the apples are rolling across the road. Suddenly, I see a pair of hands, offering me an apple. Looking up, I see the tanned (晒黑的) face of this stranger. His clothes are mismatched, borrowed or stolen. But his eyes are soft and kind.“Thanks,” I say. No other words are spoken as he continues to help me. I tell him “thank you” one more time and am on my way because I have many other things to finish. Suddenly, he says, “Have a good day, maam.” And then he gives me the biggest smile I have ever seen. Right then, he looks years younger and I feel a fool.Look at me, feeling sorry for myself because I dont get what I want! Do I not think others are in the same boat, or worse? There are worse things than not having a beautiful dress.My mother will hand me the list today. I will make the same journey and probably see something I want but cannot have. But before I start to feel sorry for myself, I will remember the kind stranger with the big smile, and I will grab the last item, and check out.5.

They do different plays for different age groups and the children often take part in the play in some way.Pantomime is a special kind of Christmas show for children. It is loved by people and also allows the audience to join in. “Pantomime” was the name of the Roman actor who performed shows without speaking this is where the English word “mime” comes from.A pantomime is always based on a well-known childrens story. But there are always certain types of characters in the show and certain situations and events. For example, a pantomime must always include a hero, known as the “principal boy” and this principal boy is always played by a pretty girl wearing a short costume. Then there is the comic older woman, known as the “dame” who is played by a man. There is always a group of men and women who sing and dance and often there is a pantomime horse. The horse is played by two men who form the “front” and “back” ends inside a “horse” costume. It is funny and it usually kicks the dame when she isnt looking.Members of the audience have to shout a warning to one of the characters and argue with the character (usually the dame) when she does not believe them.

It first appeared sometime in the mid-1800s, but many people would not have dreamed of using it. “Hello” was considered a very impolite way to greet someone. Instead, people used formal expressions like “How do you do?”Back then, there were several words that sounded like “hello,” but they were used to get someones attention or to express surprise. For example, if you caught your little brother stealing your snack, you might have said, “Halloa there! Stop eating my cheese!” If you found a fly in your soup, you might have shouted, “Hullo! How did that get in there?”Everything started to change in 1876, when Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. The first telephones didnt have numbers you could dial, nor did they have bells or ringers. Instead, your telephone sent signals along telephone lines to a central office where an operator would answer by saying something like “Are you there, sir?” or “What is wanted?” The operator would then connect your phone to the phone of the person you wanted to reach. There was just one small problem: Since telephones didnt ring, how would the person you were calling know that you were “on the line”? The answer is you would yell (大喊) into your phone and hope someone on the other end heard you. But what would you yell? And what would the person you were calling say when they were going to answer? Bell suggested “Ahoy! Ahoy!” but it didnt catch on. Then the famous inventor Thomas Edison suggested the word hello. That caught on right away.“Hello” became so popular that by 1878 telephone operators were required to use it. In fact, operators received the nickname (绰号) “Hello Girls.” Soon, “hello” became not just the standard way to answer the phone, but an accepted way to greet people in person.12. Why was “hello” seldom used when it first appeared?A. It was too informal.B. It was hard to pronounce.C. It was considered to be rude.D. There were other words like “hello”.13. “Hullo” was used to show something _.A. interestingB. excitingC. boringD. unexpected14. Paragraph 3 is mainly about _.A. how “hello” was used to answer the telephoneB. the friendship between Bell and EdisonC. the invention of the telephoneD. how the telephone improved15. We can infer from the text that _.A. “hello” got popular as soon as the telephone was inventedB. the telephone has changed the way people speakC. people liked simple expressions like “hello”D. Bell advised girls to use “hello”【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了“Hello”一词的由来。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中It first appeared sometime in the mid-1800s, but many people would not have dreamed of using it. “Hello” was considered a very impolite way to greet someone.“它最早出现在19世纪中期的某个时候，但许多人做梦也没想到会使用它。“Hello”被认为是一种非常不礼貌的打招呼方式。”可知，“hello”第一次出现时很少被使用，是因为这被认为是粗鲁的。故选C。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中If you found a fly in your soup, you might have shouted, “Hullo! How did that get in there?”“ 如果你在汤里发现一只苍蝇，你可能会大叫:“喂!那是怎么进来的?”可知，“Hullo”是用来表示意想不到的事情。故选D。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中And what would the person you were calling say when they were going to answer? Bell suggested “Ahoy! Ahoy!” but it didnt catch on. Then the famous inventor Thomas Edison suggested the word hello. That caught on right away.“当你打电话的人要接电话时，他们会说什么?贝尔说“喂!喂! !但它没有流行起来。然后，著名发明家托马斯爱迪生提出了“你好”这个词。马上就流行起来了。”可知，第3段主要是关于如何用“hello”来接电话。故选A。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Hello” became so popular that by 1878 telephone operators were required to use it. In fact, operators received the nickname (绰号) “Hello Girls.” Soon, “hello” became not just the standard way to answer the phone, but an accepted way to greet people in person.“到1878年，“你好”一词变得如此流行，以至于电话接线员必须使用它。事实上，接线员得到的昵称是“你好女孩”。很快，“hello”就不仅仅是接电话的标准方式，而是一种被广泛接受的当面打招呼的方式。”可知，电话改变了人们说话的方式。故选B。【点睛】做推理判断题时，要求考生在阅读时，要抓住文章的主题和细节，分析文章结构，根据上下文内在联系，挖掘文章的深层含义。在进行推理时，考生一定要仔细阅读短文，千万不可脱离原文而仅凭个人的看法，主观臆断。本题第2小题，根据第二段中If you found a fly in your soup, you might have shouted, “Hullo! How did that get in there?”“ 如果你在汤里发现一只苍蝇，你可能会大叫:“喂!那是怎么进来的?”可知，“Hullo”是用来表示意想不到的事情。故选D。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。Have you ever tried to write a poem?
