It is the bridge in London you may see in movies and on advertising writing for London. Tower Bridge is the only Thames bridge that can be raised. It used to be raised about 50 times a day，but nowadays it is only raised 4 to 5 times a week.LondonBridgeThe construction of the first stone London Bridge started in 1176 and finished years later. Houses and shops were once built on the bridge，which made the road so narrow that it was often jammed with people，horses and carts. A “keep left” rule was made in 1733 to keep the traffic moving. This became the rule of the road in Britain. In 1757 the old bridge was pulled down and a new one was built in 1831.Interestingly，that one was pulled down again in 1967 but rebuilt in Lake Havasu City，the USA，as a tourist attraction. The present London Bridge was opened in 1973.MillenniumBridgeMillenniumBridgeis a bridge for walkers. It was built to connect the Tate Modern Art Gallery to the city and St Pauls Cathedral (圣保罗大教堂)in 2000.Thousands of people rushed to see the new bridge. Almost immediately after opening，the bridge had to be shut because of the dangerous waving caused by too many visitors. It has now been reopened. The bridge is about 320 meters，costs 16 million pounds to build and only takes walkers.WestminsterBridgeWestminsterBridge is a road and foot traffic bridge over the Thames between Westminster and Lambeth. The present bridge，opened in 1862，is the second on the site and took the place of an earlier bridge opened in 1750.The British romantic poet，William Wordsworth，wrote a famous poemComposeduponWestminsterBridgein the autumn of 1802.Want to know more about the bridges on the Thames？Click .21. If there were a huge ship on the Thames, it could run through_.A. Westminster Bridge B. MillenniumBridgeC. Tower Bridge D. LondonBridge22. Which of the following can best replace the underlined phrase?A. satisfied with. B. strict with.C. popular with. D. crowded with.23. The passage is most probably taken from a_.A. school report B. website articleC. teenage magazine D. science fictionBMy house is made out of wood, glass and stone. It is also made out of software. If you come to visit, youll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you anelectronic PIN (个人身份号码) to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you whatyou need. When its dark outside, the PIN turns onthe lights nearest to you, and then turns them off as you walk awayfrom them. Music moves withyou too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings. Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console, a small machine that turns things on and off around you.The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If youwant to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold theconsole. I believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have the systems that Ive put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones Ive put in today. I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myselfinstead, “how will I live without them?24. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. How to develop a new system. B. The function of the PIN. C. A home for the future. D. Easy life in the future.25.This PIN tells the house _.A. who and where you are B. what you needC. how you wear clothes D. where the lights nearest you are26. The writers new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because _. A. it has your favorite music following youB. you can make a telephone call anywhere C. the writer is able to change his new idea into practice D. it has been controlled by computers27. What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage? A. An IT expert. B. A famous doctor. C. An idealist. D. An experienced teacherCFor many years, artists have flocked to Paris, France, to paint or to learn to paint. Perhaps artists first went there because of the citys beauty. They went to paint pictures of the broad, tree-lined streets, the great churches, and the graceful river bridges. The artists felt comfortable in Paris because the people of the city had always enjoyed art. Paris had great art museums, filled with famous paintings and statues(雕像)from many countries. And the people of Paris had always welcomed new ideas. In this city, artists felt free to experiment with new ways of painting. As soon as famous artists painted in Paris, students came to learn from them. People came to buy paintings. People calledart dealers set up galleries where paintings were bought and sold. Others kept shops that sold artists paints and supplies. Students and artists who were not yet famous could live in Paris for very little money. They learned by studying great art in the museums, and they learned from one another. They held art fairs, hanging their paintings outdoors along the streets. Today, New York City and Florence, Italy, are also famous art centers. But the worlds main art exhibits are still held in Paris. Important judges of art live there. Most of the new ways of painting that have started in the last hundred years began in Paris. So artists and art dealers still go to Paris because it is the worlds leading art center.28.

In fact, all these media themselves depend on newspapers to bring them information that they then process and distribute as their own brand of news.Nowmanynewspapersarelockedinastruggleforsurvival.Iftheylosewhichisbynomeansimpossiblewealllose.Thegreattaskforeditorsandpublishersistorespondtothecompetitivechallengecausedbyonlinenews,andatthesametimeusetheirownonlinenewstoincreasetheirprofits.
