Not only is it one of the most famous bridges in the world, it also connects two districts, that is, Southwark and Tower Hamlets. There is also a lot of work in both districts, which are starting to attract an increasing number of young professionals and families. Tower Bridge itself is a tourist attraction and visitors from all over the world come to see the various exhibitions that can be viewed from inside the structure. It must be one of the few bridges in the world which serve two purposes of being a tourist attraction and a connecting structure that allows traffic to pass from one side of the river to the other. Therefore, to get a full view of the area and what it is like to live near Tower Bridge, one must look at both the bridge itself and the two associated districts.Tower Bridge was built in the late 1800s and has become an impressive symbol of London. It is also situated near the Tower of London, which is where it got its name from. The bridge holds many exhibitions, which attract both domestic and overseas visitors. On the bridge itself, visitors can learn about how it was constructed. Guests can also take a tour of the bridge and view the interactive displays and videos which provide an entertaining and informative guide to its history.It also contains a lot of artworks from British artists in addition to the Victorian Engine Rooms, completed with sounds and smells that transport the visitors back in time to the origins of Tower Bridge.The structure of the bridge also offers breathtaking views of the city, and allows guests to walk into the high level walkways, 42 metres above the Thames. It is also possible to hire rooms at the venue for private functions and parties. While visiting London, dont forget the wonderful bridge.1Tower Bridge is considered unique in that _.Ait is used to connect two important districtsBit is used both as a tourist attraction and as a connecting structureCit witnesses many people pass by every dayDit is located on the edge of Tower Hamlets答案：B细节理解题。根据文章前两段，尤其是第二段的第二句可知，伦敦塔桥除了作为连接两个行政区的建筑以外，还是世界上少有的作为旅游景点的一座桥梁。故选B项。2If you pay a visit to Tower Bridge, _.Ayou may be lucky to be offered a good jobByou may get a chance to visit exhibitionsCyou have to make a start from SouthwarkDyou may be deeply shocked by the luxury答案：B细节理解题。根据文章第二段首句中的“visitors from all over the world come to see the various exhibitions”可知，来塔桥的游客可以看到各种各样的展览。故选B项。3To know well the area of Tower Bridge, _.Ayou should have a look from inside the structureByou must observe the bridge and the two districtsCyou should study the connecting structure carefullyDyou must stay at the river Thames for a time答案：B细节理解题。根据文章第三段可知，要想全面了解塔桥和其附近的状况，一定要游览桥梁本身和两个相关的行政区。故选B项。4Tower Bridge was named because _.Ait is just located in the centre of LondonBit has a big tower at one end of the bridgeCit is built just beside the river ThamesDit stands near the Tower of London答案：D细节理解题。根据文章第四段第二句可知伦敦塔桥得名的原因是它位于伦敦塔附近。故选D项。BLondonA mornings train rides away, across the Channel. English kids talk about the Liverpools soccer team in a Paris pub.Some Parisians have even started to go to work in London.In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two great rival cities, London and Paris, in ATaleofTwoCities. These days, it might be ATaleofOneCity.Parisians are these days likely to smile in sympathy at a visitors broken French and respond in polite English.As jobs grew lacking at home over recent years, perhaps 250,000 Frenchmen moved across the Channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours. The European Union freed them from immigration and customs.Paris, rich in beauty, is more attractive, but London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down.“For me, the difference is that London is real, alive，” said Trevor Wheeler, a banker.Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agrees, “I am French, but Ill stay in London，” she said.There is, of course, the other view, Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago. “I think people laugh more in Paris，” she said.In fact, London and Paris, with their obvious new similarities, are beyond the old descriptions. As the European Union gradually loosened controls, Londoners flocked into Paris to shop, eat and buy property.“Both cities have changed beyond recognition，” said Larry Collins, a writer and sometimes a Londoner.Like most people who know both well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably.“I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s, and it is still a wonderful place，” Collins said. “But if I had to choose, it would be London. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better, but certainly not cheaper.” In fancy parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris. Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice. Like Daphne Benoit, a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be close enough so they dont have to choose.“I love Paris, my little neighborhood, the way I can walk around a center，but life is so structured，” she said. “In Londo
