　　There are thirty­four bridges on the Thames in London；the following are among the most famous ones.

　　Tower Bridge

　　Tower Bridge has stood over the Thames in London since 1894 and is one of the finest，most recognizable bridges in the world.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.

　　London Bridge

　　The 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.

　　Millennium Bridge

　　Millennium Bridge is a bridge for walkers.It was built to connect the Tate Modern Art Gallery to the city and St Paul's 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.

　　Westminster Bridge

　　Westminster Bridge 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 poem Composed upon Westminster Bridge in the autumn of 1802.

　　In 2001，British Prime Minister，Tony Blair said，“We celebrate the diversity(多样性)in our country，get strength from the cultures and the races that go to make up Britain today.”

　　People from all cultures and races can be found in every corner of Britain and each person in his or her own way has contributed to making Britain the place it is today.

　　If you walk down a street in Britain，especially in the bigger cities，you will usually see people with different hair，skin and eye colors.They may have white，brown or black skin and blonde，brown，black or red hair，with blue，black，brown or green eyes.Many of the people you will see will be British people but they all look different because the people of Britain are a mixed race.

　　Britain is and has always been a mixed race society.Early in the British history they were invaded by Romans，Saxons，Vikings and Normans armies and later Africans were brought to Britain by force in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries as slaves or servants.Over the years，thousands of people have been forced by persecution(迫害)or hunger to leave France，Ireland，Russia，and other countries，and have settled in Britain.

　　About 8% of the population of Britain today are people from other cultures and races.That is 4.6 million people.According to a BBC report in September 2005，immigration (移民)made up more than half of Britain's population growth from 1991 to 2001.The Guardian newspaper reported in 2007 that the number of immigrants to the UK was 145,000 a year.

　　People moving to Britain have brought their own cultures with them and try to keep them alive.An excellent example of this is the Notting Hill Carnival which celebrates the Caribbean culture and is now a very big part of British life today.

　　【解题导语】 由于历史的原因，大量移民在不同时期涌入英国，造就了一个多民族、多文化的国家。

　　40．From Tony Blair's words，we learn that he was________for the diversity in Britain.

　　A．sorry

　　B．thankful

　　C．pity

　　D．anxious

　　答案　B　[推理判断题。根据第一段中的celebrate，get strength和make up可知，布莱尔高度评价了移民对英国的贡献，因此可以推断他对英国的多元化心存感激，故选B。]

　　41．Why can you find people of different races in Britain?

　　A．Because people like to live in big cities in Britain.

　　B．Because

　　people from different countries have settled in Britain.

　　C．Because Britain has attracted many tourists from all over the world.

　　D．Because people from different countries have been invited to live there.

　　答案　B　[细节理解题。根据第三段和第四段内容可知，英国是一个多民族融合的国家，他们在不同的历史时期来到英国，因此在英国大街上随处可见不同种族的人，故选B。]

　　42．What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about?

　　A．How Britain became a mixed race society.

　　B．Where people get the strength to come to Britain.

　　C．Where to find people with different hair，skin and eye colors.

　　Snarky(不够热情)no more：UK issues

　　Olympics etiquette(礼节)guide

　　Keep away from hugging an Indian，don't be frightened if the French are rude and never mistake a Canadian for an American.

　　Britain's national tourism agency issued guidelines Wednesday on the etiquette of dealing with the hundreds of thousands of foreign visitors who will be coming to London for the 2017 Summer Olympics.

　　Seeking to help the country's sometimes bad­tempered citizens offer a warmer welcome，VisitBritain has updated its advice for anyone likely to work with travelers arriving from other countries—from hotel staff to taxi drivers.

　　Other tips：Don't go around asking Brazilians personal questions and never be bossy (跋扈的)with visitors from the Middle East.

　　“Giving our foreign visitors a friendly welcome is absolutely important to our economy，”said Sandie Dawe，chief officer of the agency.“With hundreds of thousands of people thinking of coming to Britain for Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2017，this new advice is just one of the ways that VisitBritain is helping the tourism industry care for their customers.”

　　About 30 million people visit Britain each year，spending about 16.6 billion pounds($26 billion)．The 2017 Olympics is likely to bring in an additional 2.1 billion($3.3 billion)in tourism，according to a government estimate，and about 320,000 extra visitors from other countries during the games in July and August 2017.

　　VisitBritain said research it had carried out found tourists believe Britons are honest and efficient—but not the most pleasant.Britain is ranked 14th out of 50 on the quality of welcome offered to visitors，the tourism agency said.

　　【解题导语】 英国国家旅行社在周三发表指南，该指南旨在帮助英国人热情接待2017年伦敦奥运会游客。

　　A．Britain may bring in 18.7 billion pounds in tourism in 2017

　　B．in July and August 2017 Britain may receive 320,000 visitors

　　C．economy in Britain depends completely on tourism

　　答案　A　[由倒数第二段第一、二句可知2017年游客将给英国旅游业带来的收入为16.6＋2.1＝18.7 billion pounds。]

　　47．In the opinion of the tourists，the British are________.

　　A．honest and efficient but rude

　　B．honest and efficient but not very friendly

　　The Queen's English is now sounding less upper­class，a scientific study of the Queen's Christmas broadcasts had found.Researchers have studied each of her messages to the Commonwealth countries since 1952 to find out the change in her pronunciation from the noble Upper Received to the Standard Received.

　　Jonathan Harrington，a professor at Germany's University of Munich，wanted to discover whether accent(口音)changes recorded over the past half century would take place within one person.“As far as I know，there just is nobody else for whom there is this sort of broadcast records，”he said.

　　He said the noble way of pronouncing vowels (元音) had gradually lost ground as the noble upper­class accent over the past years.“Her accent sounds slightly less noble than it did 50 years ago.But these are very，very small and slow changes that we don't notice from year to year.”

　　“We may be able to relate it to changes in the social classes，”he told The Daily Telegraph，a British newspaper.“In 1952 she would have been heard saying ‘thet men in the bleck het'.Now it would be ‘that man in the black hat’．Similarly she would have spoken‘the citay’and ‘dutay’，rather than‘citee’and ‘dutee’，and ‘hame’rather than‘home’．In the 1950s she would have been ‘lorst’，but by the 1970s ‘lost’．”

　　The Queen's broadcast is a personal message to the Commonwealth countries.Each Christmas，the 10­minute broadcast is put on TV at 3 pm in Britain as many families are recovering from their traditional turkey lunch(传统火鸡午餐)．

　　The results were published(发表)in the Journal of Phonetics.

　　【解题导语】 这篇文章中隐含着很多英国文化背景知识，如英联邦国家(Commonwealth countries)。英联邦国家是由英国和已经独立的前英国殖民地或附属国组成的联合体。英王是英联邦的元首。英国女王伊丽莎白二世自登基以来，每年都要通过广播向英联邦国家发表圣诞感言致辞。然而，近来，研究人员从她的圣诞感言中听出了变化：她那世人皆知的“贵族式发音”如今已少了些“贵族”的味道。这个现象折射出一个社会现实，那就是在过去英国贵族英语和平民英语是有区别的，当然，这种区别的存在有其历史渊源。但是随着社会的发展，这种差异越来越小，女王“贵族式发音”的平民化就是一个典型例子。由此表明英语语言发展的平民化倾向明显，贵族英语和平民英语正在进一步融合。

　　48．The Queen's broadcasts were chosen for the study mainly because________.

　　A．she has been Queen for many years

　　B．she has a less upper­class accent now

　　C．her speeches are familiar to many people

　　D．her speeches have been recorded for 50 years

　　答案　D　[推理判断题。文章的第二段对把握全文含义尤为重要。此段内容提到Jonathan Harrington想要研究一个人有记录的语音在半个世纪内的变化，而就他所知，这样的广播记录只有女王的。因此英国女王是作为研究对象的惟一人选，故选D。]

　　49．Which of the following is an example of a less noble accent in English?

　　A．“duaty”.

　　B．“citee”．

　　C．“hame”.

　　D．“lorst”．

　　答案　B　[细节理解题。第三、四段提到，女王的口音变化体现在元音音素的发音发生变化，而且是从贵族式发音向平民式转变。因此她在70年代使用的发音肯定是相对less noble的，如citee，dutee，home，lost。故选B。]

　　50．We may infer from the text that the Journal of Phonetics is a magazine on________.

　　A．speech sounds

　　B．Christmas customs

　　C．TV broadcasting

　　D．personal messages

　　答案　A　[细节理解题。最后一段提到这项关于女王的pronunciation和accent的研究结果发表在了Journal of Phonetics上，据此可推断出这个杂志是有关语音学的。]

　　51．What is the text mainly about?

　　A．The relationship between accents and social classes.

　　B．The Queen's Christmas speeches on TV.

　　C．The changes in a person's accent.

　　D．The recent development of the English language.

　　答案　C　[主旨大意题。根据全文大意尤其是第二段段意可知。]

　　E

　　Wishing to encourage her young son’s progress on the piano，a mother took her boy to a Paderewski concert.After they were seated，the mother spotted a friend in the audience and walked over to greet her.

　　Seizing the opportunity to enjoy the wonders of the concert hall，the little boy rose and finally went through a door marked“NO ADMITTANCE”．When the house lights dimmed(变暗)and the concert was about to begin，the mother returned to her seat and discovered that the child was missing.

　　Suddenly，the curtains parted and spotlights focused on the stage.In horror，the mother saw her little boy sitting at the keyboard，picking out “Twinkle，Twinkle Little Star.”

　　At that moment，the great piano master made his entrance，quickly moved to the piano，and whispered in the boy’s

　　ear，“Don’t quit.Keep playing”．

　　Then leaning over，Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began filling in a bass part.Soon his right arm reached around to the other side of the child and he added a running obbligato(伴奏)．Together，the old master and the young novice changed a frightening situation into a wonderfully creative experience.

　　That’s the way it is in life.What we can achieve on our own is hardly noteworthy.We try our best，but the results aren’t exactly graceful flowing music.But when we trust in the hands of a Greater Power，our life’s work truly can be beautiful.

　　Next time you set out to finish great achievements，listen carefully.You can hear the voice of the Master，whispering in your ear，“Don’t quit.Keep playing.”

　　假设你叫李华，在2017年伦敦奥运会期间做一名志愿者，请你用英语给美国笔友Tom写一封信，谈谈伦敦大本钟的情况，要点如下：

　　1．大本钟是在BBC上可以让世界各地都听到的著名大钟。

　　2．议会大厦在1834年被烧毁，这台大钟被建造。

　　3．大本钟得名于新议会大厦建造时负责制造这台钟的Benjamin Hall爵士。

　　4．在BBC上，你可以在它真的报时的时候听到它，因为有多个麦克风被连接在钟楼上。

　　5．大本钟极少出差错，然而有一次，一位在钟楼上工作的油漆工在其中的一个指针上挂了一罐油漆，从而让它走慢了。

　　注意：100词左右；不要逐句翻译，可适当加入细节。

　　参考词汇：议会大厦the Houses of Parliament

　　Dear Tom，

　　How are you these days？I'm glad to tell you that I'm a volunteer during London Olympic Games.Now I'll introduce something about the Big Ben in London.

　　When you visit London，one of the first things you will see is Big Ben，the famous clock which can be heard all over the world on the BBC.If the Houses of Parliament had not been burned down in 1834，the great clock would never have been erected.Big Ben takes its name from Sir Benjamin Hall who was responsible for the making of the clock when the new House of Parliament was being built.It is not only of immense size，but is extremely accurate as well.Officials from Greenwich Observatory have the clock checked twice a day.

　　On the BBC，you can hear the clock when it is actually striking because microphones are connected to the clock tower.Big Ben has rarely gone wrong.Once，however，it failed to give the correct time.A painter who had been working on the tower hung a pot of paint on one of the hands and slowed it down....

　　I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

　　Yours Sincerely，

　　Li Hua
