The Taj Mahal（泰姬陵） is a love story, a sad and beautiful one. If it didn’t exist, we would easily imagine that the story of its construction was simply a fairy tale. Three hundred years ago, there lived an Indian emperor called Shah Jahan. His wife was a beautiful and bright woman whom he loved greatly. Her title was Mumtazl Mahan梚ts shortened form Taj Mahal, means 損ride of the palace? In the year 1630 this beloved wife of the emperor died. He was so broken-hearted that he thought of giving up his throne. He decided out of his love for his wife, to build her the most beautifu Mal tomb that had never been seen.
He summoned the best artists and architects from India, Turkey, Persia and Arabia and finally, the design was complete. It took more than twenty thousand men working over a period of 18 years to build the Taj Mahal, one of the most beautiful buildings in the world.
The building itself stands on a marble platform, 29 square meters and 6-7 meters high. Towers rise from each of the four corners. The Taj itself soars another 61 meters into the air. It is an eight-sided building made of white marble.
The emperor planned to build an identical tomb of black marble for himself on the other side of the river connected by a silver bridge. However, his son put him into a prison in the palace before he could finish, and for the rest of his life, he could only gaze across river at the tomb of his beloved wife.
1. The whole passage tells us about ________.
A. a beautiful fairy tale
B. the story of the Taj Mahal
C. white and black marble tombs made for two emperors

C. black-coloured
D. white-coloured

Ⅵ. 任务型阅读
阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空格处填入恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
At the beginning of the twentieth century, many people thought that the American family was falling apart. A century later, we know that this was not the case. However, although the family is still alive in the United States, its size and shape were very different 100 years ago.
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, there were mainly two types of families in the United States: the extended and the nuclear. The extended family usually includes grandparents, parents, and children living under the same roof. The nuclear family consists of only parents and children.
Today there are many different kinds of families. Some people live in 搕raditional?families, that is, a stay-homfae mother, a working father, and their own biological children. Others live in two-paycheck families, single-parent families, adoptive or foster families, blended families (where men and women who were married before marry again and combine the children from previous marriages into the new families），childless families, and so on.
What caused the structure of the family to change? In the early 1900s the birthrate began to fall and the divorce rate began to rise. Women were suddenly choosing to go to college and take jobs outside the home. In the 1930s and 1940s, many families faced serious financial, or money problems during the Great Depression, when many people lost their jobs. During World War Ⅱ（1939—1945)，5 million women were left alone to take care of their homes and their children. Because many men were at war, thousands of these 搘ar widows?had to go to work outside their home.
During the next ten years, the situation changed. There were fewer divorces, and people married at a younger age and had more chehildren than the previous generation. It was unusual for a mother to work outside the home during the years when her children were growing up. Families began leaving cities and moving into single-family homes in the suburbs. The traditional family seemed to be returning.
In the years between 1960s and 1990s, there were many important changes in the structure of the family. From the 1960s to the early 1970s, the divorce rate doubled and the birthrate fell by half. The number of single-parent families tripled, and the number of couples living together without being married doubled again. In fact, the single-parent household, once unusual, has replaced the 搕raditional?family as the typical family in the States. If we can judge from history, however, this willle probably change again in the twenty-first century.

提升练习
Ⅳ. 1. 解析：选C。考查短语辨析和句式结构。carry on 继续;carry out 实施，执行。定语从句we had hoped to see 的宾语为plan, carried out为过去分词形式作plan 的宾补，其和plan之间存在动宾关系，故选C。
2. 解析：选C。考查主谓一致。the father 作主语，是单数，所以选C。
3. 解析：选B。根据“It’s a most difficult one”可知，非常想让对方帮忙，所以用why not? A项表示客气地接受或同意；C项表示对对方道歉的答语；D项表示对对方感谢的答语。
4. 解析：选D。I can’t agree more. 我非常赞同。从上下句可知，父母不愿听我们的意见，所以选D，其他选项均与语境不符。
5. 解析：选A。考查see与have后接宾语补足语的用法。即see sb. do sth.和have sth.／sb. doing结构。句中用的是see sb. do sth.的被动形式,所以宾语补足语要加to。
6. 解析：选C。考查连词、介词和介词短语在主谓一致中的用法。根据此句中谓语动词has是单数形式可以确定主语应为单数，即John’s sister,所以用as well as。
7. 解析：选B。由and连接的两个或两个以上单数主语，指同一人、同一物或同一概念时，谓语动词应用单数形式。
8. 解析：选A。考查find加宾语及其宾语补足语的用法。句意为：当他醒来时发现自己躺在医院里，由一位老太太照看着。“醒”和“躺”同时发生，所以用lying作宾语补足语；又因为himself和look after呈被动关系，故用being looked after。
Ⅴ. 1. 解析：选B。虽然文中第一句话“The Taj Mahal is a love story”是讲爱情故事，但是后三段都在讲泰姬陵的建造，是围绕泰姬陵来说的而非爱情故事，故选B。
2. 解析：选A。从第二段中“It took more than twenty thousand men working over a period of 18 years to build the Taj Mahal, ...”可知，A项错误，B项正确。从“...one
of the most beautiful buildings in the world”可知，C项正确;由“...to build her the most beautiful tomb that had never been seen”可知，D项正确，所以答案为A。
3. 解析：选C。由最后一段“The emperor planned to build an identical tomb of black marble for himself on the other side ...”可知，黑色的坟墓是君主自己的，故选C。
4. 解析：选D。由第一段“In the year 1630 this beloved wife of the emperor died ...”和“It took 18 years ...to build the Taj Mahal”可推测，君主是1648年以后死的。
Ⅵ. 1. kinds/types
2. main
3. namely
4. more
5. periods
6. lack
7. birthrate
8. returning
9. occurred
10. temporary
Ⅵ. One possible version:
Dear Jane,
Glad to hear from you and you’re welcome to China in July. The followings are some Chinese customs.
Firstly, we greet each other by saying “Hello” or asking such questions as “Where are you going?” or “Are you busy?” to express our care. Secondly, when praised, we reply with “Oh, no!” or “I’m over-praised” to show good manners. Next, when receiving a gift, we usually say “It’s unnecessary” besides “Thanks” to show politeness and then put it away. Finally, at dinner parties, we talk loudly and touch glasses when drinking to someone’s health or success to show that we’re warm.
Anyhow, different cultures, different customs. If you “Do as the Romans do when in Rome”, you’ll enjoy more of your stay here.
I hope what’s mentioned above might be helpful and wish you a good journey.
Your sincerely,
Li Hua
