They buy large numbers of newspapers, magazines and books especially paperbacks (平装书), which are still cheap in spite of everincreasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy “proper” books, too, printed on good paper.There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in bookselling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which is said to be “the biggest bookshop in the world” to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens time. Some of these shops stock, or will make efforts to get, any kind of book, but many of them specialize in secondhand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on economics, politics or any other subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes only in books about ballet.Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charing Cross Road is not the cheapest. For really cheap secondhand books, collectors must venture_off_the_beaten_track,_to Farringdon Road, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so impressive as bookshops. The booksellers come along each morning and put lots of books onto small handcarts (手推车) which line the streets. The collectors, some professionals and some amateurs (业余爱好者), who have been waiting for them, run quickly towards the books. In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old book that may be worth many pounds.语篇解读：伦敦人酷爱读书。本文介绍了在伦敦能买书的一些地方。5“Londoners are great readers” means that _.ALondoners are great because they read a lotBthere are a great number of readers in LondonCLondoners are readers who read only great booksDLondoners read a lot解析：选D句意理解题。根据文章大意及第一段中的“They buy large numbers of newspapers, magazines and books”可以推断出伦敦人喜欢阅读。故D项正确。6According to this passage, Charing Cross Road _.Ais in the suburbs of LondonBis famous for its bookshopsCcontains various kinds of shopsDis the busiest street in London解析：选B细节理解题。根据第二段中的一、二句“There are many streets in . in the very heart of London.”可知B项正确。7In this passage, what does the underlined part “venture off the beaten track” mean?ABuy books in a most busy street.BMove away from a busy street.CWaste time looking for books.DTake a risk of losing ones life.解析：选B词义猜测题。由下文语境可知，在伦敦东部沿街有很多书商把书放在手推车上卖，在那儿花几便士就能买到价值很多英镑的书。也就是说要想买便宜的二手书，需要从繁忙的街道到僻静的地方，故B项正确。8The best topic for this passage is “_” Abookshops in LondonBthe biggest bookshop in the worldCCharing Cross RoadDbuying books in London解析：选A主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述的是伦敦的书店，从出名的书店到街边小推车，故A项正确。CIn Britain, many theatres put on shows for children at Christmas and many theatres have a theatreineducation team working there. This team, made up of actors and teachers, writes plays for children, usually performing them in schools. 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 (观众) 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 wellknown 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 (服装). 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 (争论) with the character (usually the dame) when she does not believe them. When she shouts, “Oh no, it isnt，” the audience always responds with “Oh yes ，it is！” The audience also learns and sings a simple song and a few children are sometimes invited to help one of the characters during the show.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要向我们介绍了英国每年圣诞节期间颇受欢迎的一种童话剧。9The theatreineducation teams_.Aare made up of famous local actorsBwrite plays for the same age groupCoften give plays in their own theatresDusually allow children to join in a play解析：选D细节理解题。由第一段中的“the children often take part in the play”可知，D项说法正确。10According to the text, a pantomime_.Ais designed to make people laughBis made up of three charactersCis especially popular with grownupsDcan be watched all year round in Britain解析：选A细节理解题。由第三段中的“this principal boy is always played by a pretty girl, the comic older woman . is played by a man”和“It is funny”等信息可知，圣诞童话剧以逗笑为主，故选A项。11When the dame says, “Yes, it is”， the audience should_.Afollow her and singBstand up and danceCrepeat what she saysDdisagree with her loudly解析：选D细节理解题。由最后一段中的“Members of the audience have to . argue (争论) with the character (usually the dame)”和“When she shouts，Oh no，it isnt，the audience always responds withOh yes, it is！”可知，观众应该说些和老女人的话相反的话，故选D项。.阅读七选五Life is just like a box.
