B 根据上下文，这里应选择比较级，所以排除D，再根据句意，为“更为人所熟知”，因而better 是正确答案。

2. D 根据句意，词组搭配at the top of ，表示在……顶部最为合适。

Height 意为“高度“，summit 意为“最高点”，peak 意为“顶峰“，所以选D。

3. C 根据句意，从卧室的角度看去，from 最为恰当。

4. A 固定搭配be famous for 意为“以……而著名”，文中要表达的是伦敦塔以乌鸦而著名，因而for 为正确答案。

5. D 根据句意，David 是被提供了这样一个职位，所以offered 最为恰当award 表示“授予”，applied 表示“应用”，presented 表示“给予，呈现“，均不符合句意。

6. C 根据上下文，很容易理解David 是这么迷恋这种黑鸟，因而毫不犹豫地接受了这个职位，所以hesitation 为正确答案。

7. A be aware of 表示“意识到”，有这样一命警觉。

其他三项均不符合句意。

8. B 固定搭配maintain a tradition ，保持一个传统，maintain 最为恰当。

hold 表示“抓住”，survive 表示“存活，幸存”，last 表示“维持”。

9. B 固定搭配make sure，意为“确保”，在文中表达的是“确保这种状况不会发生“，因而选B。

10. A 根据句意，David 每天大约用四个小时来护理乌鸦，表达出对乌鸦的爱护之情，devote “献身于……，专用于……”最为恰当。

spend 后需加动词ing 形式。

pass 表示“经过”，provide 表示“提供”，均不符合句意。

11. D 这是一个定语从句，根据句意，David 已经爱上了它们，而他正居住在它们旁边(这样一个事实)是理想的，所以fact 是正确答案。

12. C keep an eye on 为固定搭配，意为“注意，关注”，所以选C。

13. C 根据句意，作者要表达的意思是起初，David 的妻子Mo 并不感兴趣，因为只有词组at first 表示“起初，开始时”符合句意。

14. B be keen on 为固定搭配，表示“对……感兴趣，对……热衷”，interest 后面配介词in ，fond 后应配介词of ，因此正确答案是B。

15. B 根据句意，作者表达的感情非常强烈，过去的那些都环绕在身边，所以all 为最佳答案。

译文：有鸟陪伴的生活作为伦敦塔的守卫者之一David Cope在那里工作了近17年，被游客们称为Beefeaters。

David，64岁，生活在Byward塔顶部的一个三居室的单元里，一个警卫室。

David说：“从我们的卧室看去，我们可以看到伦敦塔桥和泰晤士河的一个美好景色。

”伦敦塔以大黑色的鸟——乌鸦而著名，它们已经在那里生活了三个多世纪。

David立刻被这种鸟迷住了，当他在八年前被提供乌鸦主人的职位时他毫不犹豫地接受了它。

“这种鸟类现在已经成为我的生命，我总是警觉到我在保持一个传统。

传说中说，如果乌鸦离开伦敦塔，英国将落到敌人手中，我的工作就是确保这种情况不会发生!”David每天大约用四个小时的时间来护理乌鸦。

他已经爱上了它们，而他紧挨在它们的旁边生活是最佳选择。

“我可以在所有的时间内密切关注它们，不仅仅是在工作的时候。

”起初，David的妻子Mo对生活在塔里的想法并不热衷，但David明年即将退休，她要离开时也会很伤心。

“当我们透过我们的窗口向外看，我们看到历史环绕在我们身边，我们正接受它并为我们未来的记忆存储它。
