The Tower of London

It was occasionally used as a Royal Palace for the Kings and Queens of England until the time of James Ⅰbut is best known as a prison and an execution place.Within the walls of the Tower，Princes have been murdered，spies shot，and Queens of England beheaded.One of the most famous executions was that of Anne Boleyn in 1536.She was the second wife of Henry Ⅷ.He wanted to get rid of her because she could not give him a son.She was tried and found guilty.The sword and the executioner were brought over specially from France and with one stroke the executioner cut off her head.

Every day I check my e-mail.Most of the time I am simply doing finger exercises，another form of piano practice without the beautiful tones.Sometimes, however，I receive a gift, reminding me of the gifts in my life.The following passage is one of those gifts：
Peter Jones is a 92-year-old, short, calm and proud man.Every morning he is fully dressed by eight o'clock，with his hair fashionably combed and face perfectly shaved; even though he is unable to see.He would move to a nursing home today.His wife of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After hours of waiting patiently in the entrance hall of the nursing home，he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready.As he moved his walker skillfully to the elevator，the nurse provided a visual description of his tiny room.“I love it，” he stated with the enthusiasm of an eight­year­old having just been presented with a new pet dog.
“Mr.Jones, you haven't been to the room，” s aid the nurse.
“That doesn't have anything to do with it，” he replied.“Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time.Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged ...it's how I arrange my mind.I have already decided to love it.It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up.I have a choice: I can spend the day in bed complaining of the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do.Each day is a gift, and as long as I am alive, I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away.”
May each of our days continue to be a gift.

Ⅰ.1.uniform 2.delight 3.sightseeing 4.available 5.arrange 6.error7.thrilled8.splendid 9．consistent10.statue
Ⅱ.1.A句意：我们都喜欢打篮球和看NBA节目。

delight in喜欢，强调动作，表状态时用be delighted in。

2．B考查短语辨析。

in favour of赞成，支持；in memory of纪念；in place of代替；in case of假如，以防。

句意：在5月12日有特别活动，以纪念在地震和救援中失去生命的人。

3．B thrilling 是形容词，意思是“令人激动的，令人毛骨悚然的”，一般用来修饰事物；thrilled 和excited 则用来修饰人的内在感受。

4．A根据主句中的语境可知，说话者语气非常客气地说明了没有星期五演出的票，因此选A项。

5．B句意：如果你坚持像那样工作，你的身体早晚会被搞垮的。

break down意为“身体垮掉”，故选B项。

6．A句型It is strange that...中that从句如表示已经发生过的事情，应用should have done sth.表示“竟然做了……”。

句意：奇怪的是，他竟然对他研究的大部分内容失去了兴趣。

7．A本题考查非谓语动词的用法。

根据句子的结构，可知unless后所填动词应与the flowers存在形式上的动宾关系，所以选A项，也可理解为unless they are watered，因主、从句主语一致而省略了they are。

8．C to one's credit“值得赞扬”，符合句意。

句意：你拾金不昧，非常值得赞扬；感谢你的诚实。

9．D make oneself heard意为“让别人听到自己”，heard是过去分词在这里作宾语补足语，用动词不定式表目的。

10．B句意：如果正确使用，时间就是银行里的金钱。

句子的主语time与句子状语中的动词use 之间为被动关系，应使用过去分词作状语。

A项作状语常表示目的或结果；B项为过去分词形式；C 项为现在分词，作状语时，句子的主语应与动词use构成主动关系，不符合题意；D项是动词原形，无此种用法。

Ⅲ.1.D细节理解题。

文中第一段第一句说明伦敦塔建立的目的是为了更好地保护和控制伦敦城。

所以正确答案为D。

2．D细节理解题。

文中第二段第一句讲到此塔开始常常被当作皇家宫殿，但到了James Ⅰ时，它却成为了监狱和行刑之地。

所以答案为D。

3．B推理判断题。

由题干关键词Anne Boleyn锁定第二段“He wanted to get rid of her because she could not give him a son.”可知，Anne Boleyn未能生育，被判有罪，囚禁于此，后来被砍头。

符合文意的只有B。

4．C细节理解题。

从第三段可看出Gloucester公爵花言巧语欺骗Edward及其兄弟，而后自立为王。

5．C细节理解题。

文中最后一段说到当Gloucester自称为王之后，Edward王子很少露面，最后消失。

人们推测王子死于叔叔之手。

故答案为C。

It is believed that可看作固定句型，“人们相信……”。

【语篇解读】作者通过一个九旬老人简单快乐的生活说明：快乐其实很简单，只需要你把每天都当作一个收到的礼物去珍惜。

6．A细节理解题。

根据第二段第二句可知，琼斯先生虽然失明了，但他非常整洁。

7．D推理判断题。

根据第三段末句可知，琼斯先生说喜欢他的房间，而且像一个8岁小孩收到一只宠物狗一样兴奋。

8．B代词指示题。

根据前面一句的内容“我是否喜欢我的房间，不取决于家具如何摆放，而是取决于我自己怎么想”可知，此处指他已经决定喜欢那个房间了。

9．C推理判断题。

根据第五段后半部分可知，琼斯先生虽然身体不好，但他从不怨天尤人，而是把每天都当作一个收到的礼物。

他有着积极乐观的人生态度。

10．A标题归纳题。

文章开头点出“礼物”这一主题，结尾的May each of our days continue to be a gift 与第五段中老人所说的话Each day is a gift相呼应，A项准确地概括了文章主旨。
