From visiting museums to watching Changing the Guard,there are some amazing experiences for you to get while in London.Here we pick some of the best free activities in London.
Changing the Guard
For a display of British ceremony,watch Changing the Guard outside Buckingham Palace.This is where one member of Queen’s Guards exchanges duty with the old guard.Both guards are dressed in traditional red uniform and bearskin hats,and the handover is accompanied by a Guards band.Guard Mounting takes place at 11:30 am.It is held daily from May to July,and on alternate(间隔的)dates throughout the rest of the year.
Sir John Soane’s Museum
Sir John Soane was an architect.During his lifetime he collected some valuable antiquities(古董) from all four corners of the globe.They are now on display in Sir John Soane’s Museum which gives a real insight into the life of this outstanding Victorian gentleman.

Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文,主要向读者介绍了伦敦一些免费的著名景点。
1.B 细节理解题。根据“the handover is accompanied by a Guards band”可知交接仪式有音乐伴奏;根据第一段内容可知,这些活动都是免费的,因此A项错误;根据“Guard Mounting takes place at 11:30 am.It is held daily from May to July,and on alternate(间隔的) dates throughout the rest of the year.”可知,这种仪式只在5月份到7月份是每天进行的,因此C项错误;根据“This is where one member of Queen’s Guards exchanges duty with the old guard.”可知,是两个卫兵交班,而不是两队,因此D项错误。
2.C 细节理解题。根据Hogarth’s House中的介绍可知,其主要展出的是Hogarth的绘画作品(painting),因此艺术系的学生也许会对其感兴趣。
