The following steps can help you findcheaper alternatives for transport for your London trip.Familiarize yourself with the city’s boroughs(区) and determine specifically the area where you will be staying. You can use a street map, or an online map search engine, to establish where in the city you will be staying and the distance you are from the major tourist attractions you want to visit.Find a local provider of Transport for London tickets or travel cards, since your first bargain purchase will be an an an Oyster card. Travelling around London with an Oyster card will give you access to the cheapest option of transportation methods and the Oyster card is accepted citywide on buses, boats and the London underground, known by the locals as “the tube”.Seek out your nearest tube station. The tube is the cheapest and most reliable form of transportation and runs from around 6 am until around 1 am, depending on the line or the station.There are 287 tube stations in London that accept the Oyster card, with a high concentration in Central London. If you are staying anywhere in Central London, there will be a tube station less than 10 minutes away.The Transport for London website offers a tube station search facility to find the nearest subway station to any location in the city. When you find a tube station, you can easily locate the closest bus stop by using the comparison bus-tube maps at the station’s entrance.Follow the Transport for London Tube Guide to your destinations and always plan ahead. Making a plan for transport will save you unnecessary expenses, wasted trips on the tube and doubling back on your journey.1.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A.To introduce the public transport system in London.B.To show readers how to use the Oyster card.C.To prove the subway in London is easy to use.D.To offer tips for saving transport costs in London.2.Which of the following can help a traveller spend the least money on transport?A.Trying different transportation methods.B.Taking buses as much as possible.C.Travelling with an Oyster card.D.Making a plan before your journey.3.We can conclude from the passage that .A.the subway is the cheapest means of transport in LondonB.only tube stations in Central London accept an Oyster cardC.subway lines in London run more than 19 hours a dayD.the transfer from subway to bus is not always availableBIreland has had a very difficult history. The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer (征服) Ireland. For hundreds of years, the Irish people fought against the English. Finally, in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland. The result is that today there are two “Irelands”. Northern Ireland, in the north, is part of the United Kingdom. The Republic of Ireland, in the south is an independent country.In the 1840s, the main crop was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage (短缺) of work, forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result of these problems, the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.For many years, the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers. Today, many people will work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices. Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside, where things move at a quieter and slower pace.The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly. Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer, once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”. Since independence, Ireland has revived (复兴) its own culture of music, language, literature and singing. Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments. Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin, whistles, etc.4. What does the author tell us in Paragraph 1?A.How the Irish fought against the English.B.How Ireland gained independence.C.How English rulers tried to conquer Ireland.D.How two “Irelands” came i nto being.5. We learn from the text that in Ireland .A.food shortages in the 1840s led to a decrease in populationB.people are moving to the cities for lack of work in the countrysideC.it is harder to make a living as a farmer than as a factory workerD.different kinds of old Irish songs are all sung with instruments6. The last paragraph is mainly about.A.the Irish characterB.Irish cultureC.Irish musical instrumentsD.a famous Irish writer7. What can be the best title for the text?A.Life in IrelandB.A very difficult historyC.Ireland, past and presentD.The independence of IrelandCEaster Island’s large and mysterious stone statues (雕像) have made it world famous. These statues, whose likenesses look like humans with huge stone cylinders (圆筒状物) balancing on their heads like hats, have tourists coming from all over the world. The tourists come to see these works of ancient art carved by the early inhabitants of the island. They come to see the mystery that has puzzled historians for decades.Easter Island is located in a remote part of the South Pacific Ocean about 2,300 miles west of Chile. Easter Island covers just 45 square miles and its Polynesian name is Rapa Nui.On Easter Sunday 1722, a Dutch explorer named Jacob Roggeveen was the first European to see Easter Island. The early Polynesians carved the statues within the holes of the volcano using only stone tools. Then they moved these huge statues to various destinations throughout the island. These 600 statues range in height from 10 to 40 feet. Some of them weigh as much as 50 tons. How could the early Polynesians lift hundreds of heavy statues out of the volcano? How did they move them across the island to their various locations? All of these questions, as well as many others, remain unanswered.The early islanders probably worshiped (崇拜) these eyeless giants until sometime around 1670. In 1680, a war broke out between two groups of islanders. The victors of the war and ancestors of thepresent inhabitants, broke down many of the statues. In most cases, they broke the necks of the statues.Now 15 of the statues on Easter Island have been repaired to their original positions on their stone platforms. Even today, using modern tools and machinery, putting up such large statues and balancing cylinders on top of their heads presents a challenging task.8. What do we know about Easter Island?A.It is a big island of Chile.B.It is located in North Pacific Ocean.C.It was named after a Dutch explorer.D.Its early inhabitants were Polynesians.9. Scientists are still uncertain about .A.why people built the statuesB.where people made the statuesC.how people transported the statuesD.how many statues there are on the island10. What happened in 1680?A.Many statues were damagedB.Another 15 statues were put upC.People began to worship the statuesD.The islanders started a war against outsiders11. The purpose of the text is to .A.entertainB.advertisermD.persuadeⅣ概要写作阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

2020年精编人教版英语资料Unit 2 The United Kingdom完型填空：People often say that the Englishman’s home is his castle(城堡). They mean that the home is very important and personal. Most people in Britain live in houses 1 flat, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them individual(个人的) ;They can 2 them and change them in any way they 3 .In a crowded city the individual knows that he or she has a private space which is 4 for himself or herself and for 5 friends.People usually like to mark their space . Are you sitting now in your home or in a beach or a train? If you are on the beach you may have spread your 6 around you; on the train you may have 7 your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may have one corner or chair which is your own.Once I was traveling on a 8 to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man on the 9 side to me had his briefcase on the table. There was no 10 on my side of the table at all. I was made rather 11 .

Despite(尽管) the distance the islands actually make up the fiftieth state of the United States. The islands were all formed by volcanic eruption and on the largest of the islands, Hawaii, or the Big Island, there are still two active volcanoes, the Mauna Loa and the Kilauea, which still erupt every few years.On the Hawaiian islands the natives have a particularly strange way of indicating directions. They don’t use the north, south, east and west system common to the rest of the world. They use the mauka and makai system. Mauka means “mountain”. The mountains in Hawaii are always at the center of the islands, as these are volcanic islands. Makai means “the sea”. The islands are small and the system is simple. Wherever you want to visit, it can always be described in terms of where it lies in relation to the mountains and the sea. A typical conversation between a native Hawaiian and a tourist might go as follow.TOURIST: Excuse me! Could you tell me where the Sheraton Hotel is?HAWAIIAN: Well… Let me see! From here it’s two blocks mauka, and then one block makai. You can’t miss it!1. This passage would be most likely to appear in which of the following?A. A novel.B. A collection of stories.C. A women’s magazine.D. A reference book.2. Choose the most suitable title for the article.A.The Big Island.B. Volcanoes.C. Giving Directions in HawaiiD. The Hawaiian Islands.3. Which of the following items does the passage NOT discuss?A. Hawaii’s location.B. How to give directions in Haw aii.C. Volcanoes.D. The climate.4. In Hawaii the mountains are in the center of the islands because .A.of the weatherB.the islands were created by volcanic eruptionsC.of the geological conditionsD.of the islands’ lo cation in the Pacific5. To find your way in Hawaii, you must .A.refer to geographical directionsB.refer to well-known establishmentsC.refer to the earth and the seaD.refer to the location of the mountains and the seaBStatus of Judicial System in the USAIn recent years, there has been an increasing awareness of the inadequacies of the judicial system in the United States. Costs are staggering both for the taxpayers and the parties-and the parties have to wait sometimes many years before having their day in court. Many suggestions have been made concerning methods of improving the situation, but as in most branches of government, changes come slowly.One suggestion that has been made in order to maximize the efficiency of the system is to allow districts that have an overabundance of pending cases to borrow judges from other districts that do not have such a backlog. Another suggestion is to use pretrial conferences, in which the judge meets in his chambers with the parties and their attorneys in order to narrow the issues, limit the witnesses, and provide for a more orderly trial. The theory behind pretrial conferences is that judges will spend lesstime on each case and parties will more readily settle before trial when they realize the adequ acy of their claims and their opponents’ evidence. Unfortunately, at least one study has shown that pretrial conferences actually use more judicial time than they save, rarely result in pretrial settlements, and actually result in higher damage settlements.Many states have now established another method, small-claims courts, in which cases over small sums of money can be disposed of with considerable dispatch. Such proceedings cost the parties almost nothing, In California, for example, the parties must appear before the judge without the assistance of counsel. The proceedings are quite informal and there is no pleading-the parties need to make only a one-sentence statement of their claim. By going to this type of court, the plaintiff waives any right to a jury trial and the right to appeal the decision.In coming years, we can expect to see more and more innovations in the continuing effort to remedy a situation which must be remedied if the citizens who have valid claims are going to be have their day in court.6. The pretrial conference, in theory, is supposed to do all of the following except_____.A.narrow the issuesB.cause early settlementC.save judicial timeD.increase settlement cost7. What is the main topic of the passage?A.All states should follow Califo rnia’ s example in using small-claims courts inorder to free judges for other work.B.The legislature needs to formulate fewer laws so that the judiciary can catchup on its older cases.C.Nobody seems to care enough to attempt to find method for making thejudicial system more efficient.D.While there are many problems with the court system, there are viablesuggestions, for improvement.8. The word “parties” means mostly _______.A.jury membersmentatorsC.parties in a lawsuitD.taxpayers9. Which of the following is true about small-claim courts?A.It is possible to have one’s case heard by a jury if he or she is dissatisfiedwith the court’s decision.B.The parties must plead accurately and according to a strict form.C.The decision may not be appealed to a higher court.D.The parties may not present their cases without an attorney’ s help.10. What can we assume from the passage?A.Most people who feel they have been wronged have a ready remedy in courtsof law.B.Many people would like to bring a case to court, but are unable to because ofthe cost and the time required.C.The judicial system in the US is highly acclaimed for its efficiency.D.Pretrial conferences will someday probably have replaced trials completely.CIn today's Ireland, it seems hard to imagine the grim days of the 19th century when so many of the population starved, or that, in those days, many poor people had no clue how to prepare any food other than boil a potato. Nowadays, it is quite possible to eat both well and heartily all over the island.Tourism has made a vast difference to the standards of cooking in Ireland. Until recently there was hardly any tradition of eating out in many districts, except perhaps on very few occasions at a local hotel. Patterns of diet were old-styled, based firmly on 'meat and two vegetables' (somewhat overcooked), potatoes (of course) and large quantities of dairy produce. Now things are very different. Tourist demands for predictable, inexpensive fast-food are met, as everywhere, with hamburgers and pizzas - a better bet being fish and chips. But more sophisticated tastes haveintroduced wholefoods and vegetarian restaurants (almost unheard of before), and a vast number of new restaurants, often French in style, have opened in the main tourist centres. Food 'events' such as Kinsale's Gourmet festival or Galway's Oyster Festival attract large numbers of visitors and reflect the new interest in food.Whatever Irish cooking lacks in finesse（精细）, it nearly always makes up for in plenty, and ingredients(成分) are of a high quality. Home-grown produce includes rich dairy foods, beef, lamb and pork, and a great variety of seafood. One of its great specialities is soda bread. It is made with buttermilk and is served fresh and warm with every meal. Recently there has been a return to simple Irish foods such as stews（炖菜）and potato dishes.One of the best-value meals in Ireland is breakfast. A 'traditional Irish breakfast' is a plateful of bacon and eggs with soda and potato breads. Accommodation rates are nearly always quoted with a full breakfast included, so you might as well eat enough to keep you going all day and get your money's worth!11．What was Irish food like until quite recently?A. It was very conservative and uninteresting.B. It was influenced by French cooking.C. It was very unhealthy.D. It was plentiful12．How has Irish food improved in recent years?A. There are more French restaurants.B. Food produce is fresher.C. There is more kinds.D. Food is more expensive13．What is the main reason for this improvement?A. People have more money to spend.B. The development of tourism.C. People have more tastes today.D. Young people dislike traditional food14．How does the passage describe Irish cooking today?A. It is exciting and interesting.B. It is boring and overcooked.C. It is plentiful and simple.D. It is good-looking and tastes bad15．Which of the following statements is true according to the text?A. Eating out at weekends is traditional in most parts of Ireland.B. Today most Irish people prefer fast-foods to the traditional Irish cooking.C. Nowadays French-style restaurants are quite common in tourist centres.D. Many Irish people are vegetarians and grow their own vegetables.DA Tour City ------- PompeiiEvery year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii (庞贝，意大利那不勒斯附近一座古城) , Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for ------ its stadium (运动场) and theatre, its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however, see Pompeii’s people. They do not see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2000 years.Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22,000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius (维苏威火山) , a grass-covered volcano (火山). Mount Vesuvius had not erupted (爆发) for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not.In August of AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried (埋藏) under 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almost all of its people were dead.For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash. Then, in the year 1861, an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover (发现) Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79. There were streets and fountains, houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20, 000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all, there were everyday objects, which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue colour in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine. They liked bread, too; metal bread pans were in even bakery (面包房). In one bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves of bread ------- a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women liked to weareye-makeup (眼部化装品) .Ginseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii. 16．Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year?A.To visit the volcano.B. B. To shop and eat there.C.To watch sports and plays.D. To see how Pompeiians lived17. Why had so many Pompeiians remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius?a)The city nearby offered all kinds of fun.b)The area produced the finest wine in Italy.c)Few people expected the volcano erupt again.d)The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass18. Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in AD 79?e)Because Ginseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully.f)Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.g)Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.h)Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.19. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “ exploded” in the third paragraph?A.爆炸B.震动C.倒塌D.开裂20. What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2000 years ago?A They lived more or less the same as Italians now do.B They liked women wearing all kings of makeup.C They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating.D They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in AD 79.Unit 2 The United Kingdom完型填空：1---5 ACCAD 6---- 10 ACBAD 11---15 ADBCC阅读理解A：1.

Many suggestions have been made concerning methods of improving the situation, but as in most branches of government, changes come slowly.One suggestion that has been made in order to maximize the efficiency of the system is to allow districts that have an overabundance of pending cases to borrow judges from other districts that do not have such a backlog. Another suggestion is to use pretrial conferences, in which the judge meets in his chambers with the parties and their attorneys in order to narrow the issues, limit the witnesses, and provide for a more orderly trial. The theory behind pretrial conferences is that judges will spend less time on each case and parties will more readily settle before trial when they realize theadequac y of their claims and their opponents’ evidence. Unfortunately, at least one study has shown that pretrial conferences actually use more judicial time than they save, rarely result in pretrial settlements, and actually result in higher damage settlements.Many states have now established another method, small-claims courts, in which cases over small sums of money can be disposed of with considerable dispatch. Such proceedings cost the parties almost nothing, In California, for example, the parties must appear before the judge without the assistance of counsel. The proceedings are quite informal and there is no pleading-the parties need to make only a one-sentence statement of their claim. By going to this type of court, the plaintiff waives any right to a jury trial and the right to appeal the decision.In coming years, we can expect to see more and more innovations in the continuing effort to remedy a situation which must be remedied if the citizens who have valid claims are going to be have their day in court.6. The pretrial conference, in theory, is supposed to do all of the following except_____.A.narrow the issuesB.cause early settlementC.save judicial timeD.increase settlement cost7. What is the main topic of the passage?A.All states should follow Californ ia’ s example in using small-claims courts inorder to free judges for other work.B.The legislature needs to formulate fewer laws so that the judiciary can catchup on its older cases.C.Nobody seems to care enough to attempt to find method for making thejudicial system more efficient.D.While there are many problems with the court system, there are viablesuggestions, for improvement.8. The word “parties” means mostly _______.A.jury membersmentatorsC.parties in a lawsuitD.taxpayers9. Which of the following is true about small-claim courts?A.It is possible to have one’s case heard by a jury if he or she is dissatisfiedwith the court’s decision.B.The parties must plead accurately and according to a strict form.C.The decision may not be appealed to a higher court.D.The parties may not present their cases without an attorney’ s help.10. What can we assume from the passage?A.Most people who feel they have been wronged have a ready remedy in courtsof law.B.Many people would like to bring a case to court, but are unable to because ofthe cost and the time required.C.The judicial system in the US is highly acclaimed for its efficiency.D.Pretrial conferences will someday probably have replaced trials completely.CIn today's Ireland, it seems hard to imagine the grim days of the 19th century when so many of the population starved, or that, in those days, many poor people had no clue how to prepare any food other than boil a potato. Nowadays, it is quite possible to eat both well and heartily all over the island.Tourism has made a vast difference to the standards of cooking in Ireland. Until recently there was hardly any tradition of eating out in many districts, except perhaps on very few occasions at a local hotel. Patterns of diet were old-styled, based firmly on 'meat and two vegetables' (somewhat overcooked), potatoes (of course) and large quantities of dairy produce. Now things are very different. Tourist demands for predictable, inexpensive fast-food are met, as everywhere, with hamburgers and pizzas - a better bet being fish and chips. But more sophisticated tastes have introduced wholefoods and vegetarian restaurants (almost unheard of before), and avast number of new restaurants, often French in style, have opened in the main tourist centres. Food 'events' such as Kinsale's Gourmet festival or Galway's Oyster Festival attract large numbers of visitors and reflect the new interest in food.Whatever Irish cooking lacks in finesse（精细）, it nearly always makes up for in plenty, and ingredients(成分) are of a high quality. Home-grown produce includes rich dairy foods, beef, lamb and pork, and a great variety of seafood. One of its great specialities is soda bread. It is made with buttermilk and is served fresh and warm with every meal. Recently there has been a return to simple Irish foods such as stews（炖菜）and potato dishes.One of the best-value meals in Ireland is breakfast. A 'traditional Irish breakfast' is a plateful of bacon and eggs with soda and potato breads. Accommodation rates are nearly always quoted with a full breakfast included, so you might as well eat enough to keep you going all day and get your money's worth!11．What was Irish food like until quite recently?A. It was very conservative and uninteresting.B. It was influenced by French cooking.C. It was very unhealthy.D. It was plentiful12．How has Irish food improved in recent years?A. There are more French restaurants.B. Food produce is fresher.C. There is more kinds.D. Food is more expensive13．What is the main reason for this improvement?A. People have more money to spend.B. The development of tourism.C. People have more tastes today.D. Young people dislike traditional food14．How does the passage describe Irish cooking today?A. It is exciting and interesting.B. It is boring and overcooked.C. It is plentiful and simple.D. It is good-looking and tastes bad15．Which of the following statements is true according to the text?A. Eating out at weekends is traditional in most parts of Ireland.B. Today most Irish people prefer fast-foods to the traditional Irish cooking.C. Nowadays French-style restaurants are quite common in tourist centres.D. Many Irish people are vegetarians and grow their own vegetables.DA Tour City ------- PompeiiEvery year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii (庞贝，意大利那不勒斯附近一座古城) , Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for ------ its stadium (运动场) and theatre, its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however, see Pompeii’s people. They do not see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2000 years.Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22,000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius (维苏威火山) , a grass-covered volcano (火山). Mount Vesuvius had not erupted (爆发) for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not.In August of AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried (埋藏) under 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almost all of its people were dead.For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash. Then, in the year 1861, an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover (发现) Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79. There were streets and fountains, houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20, 000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all, there were everyday objects, which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue colour in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine. They liked bread, too; metal bread pans were in even bakery (面包房). In one bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves of bread ------- a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women liked to weareye-makeup (眼部化装品) .Ginseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii. 16．Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year?A.To visit the volcano.B. B. To shop and eat there.C.To watch sports and plays.D. To see how Pompeiians lived17. Why had so many Pompeiians remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius?a)The city nearby offered all kinds of fun.b)The area produced the finest wine in Italy.c)Few people expected the volcano erupt again.d)The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass18. Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in AD 79?e)Because Ginseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully.f)Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.g)Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.h)Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.19. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “ exploded” in the third paragraph?A.爆炸B.震动C.倒塌D.开裂20. What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2000 years ago?A They lived more or less the same as Italians now do.B They liked women wearing all kings of makeup.C They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating.D They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in AD 79.Unit 2 The United Kingdom完型填空：1---5 ACCAD 6---- 10 ACBAD 11---15 ADBCC阅读理解A：1.

He mad e many famous black and white movies that were scary and full of suspense, hence his nickname as the “Master of Suspense”. His most famous films include The Birds and Psycho. Most of his films were murder mysteries, with clever dialogues, interesting plots and talented actors and actresses. He was also a revolutionary filmmaker and introduced many new techniques to the movie-making industry. Hitchcock had a roundish belly and a big nose, which made his profile very recognizable. He was not an actor but he loved to make cameo appearances in his own films.Hitchcock was an unusual man. For example, he produced frightening movies about mysterious murders, and yet once he said his own greatest fear was the fear of small children!Hitchcock also had a very clever imagination, which is especially clear in his movie The Birds. In this terrifying movie,a town is attacked by a tremendous flock of black birds. The birds are angry and break into people’s homes to take revenge.This man’s great imagination is also refl ected in Psycho, which is one of the most famous British movies of all time. In Psycho, a young man claims to run a small motel with his elderly mother. But it turns out that the mother is fictional; she exists only in the young man’s head. At night, he dr esses up like his mother and sits near the window for people to see. But after midnight he breaks into his guests’ bedrooms and murders them.In Hitchcock’s time and era, murder mysteries were not gruesome, like many of today’s horror films with lots of bl ood and gore. They thrilled audiences with their focus on intrigue and suspense.1. Which of the following is NOT true about Hitchcock’s movies?A. They were all murder mysteries.B. They have clever dialogues and interesting plots.C. They have talented actors and actresses.D. They are black and white movies.2. Why was Hitchcock an unusual man in the writer’s opinion?A. He was a large man with a big nose.B. His movies are horrible movies.C. He produced frightening movies, but he thought small children frightened him the most.D. His mysterious movies scared children the most.3. What does the phrase “make cameo appearances” in the first paragraph most probably mean?A. Appear with a camera.B. Play an unimportant part.C. Make a short appearance.D. Play in a funny way.4. How many films directed by the name of Alfred Hitchcock are mentioned in the passage?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.5. About Alfred Hitchcock, which is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. His contribution.B. His career.C. His nickname.D. His weakness.B. Tower of TerrorOur travel company, The Tower of Terror, offers you a unique and bewitching opportunity to tour London’s daun ting Tower of London. On our personally guided tours, we’ll tell you stories, show you details and take you down secret passages that other tourists would never even know about.For the low price of only 100 British pounds, we will customize a tour to suit your interests and those of your family or tour group. The following tour is an example of how we can build a tour that suits the ghost and ghoul lover in you —and your spouse.As we approach the stone tower, take a deep breath. Feel the gravel crunch under your feet. Feel your heartbeat. Feel glad to be alive. For not everyone who enters this daunting fortress has the opportunity to leave. Many British people,famous and not, have entered this tower and never left —at least not alive.A long time ago, in the early 1080s, William the Conqueror ordered the tower to be built. It started as a relatively small structure, but over the centuries, other rulers added more towers, palaces, prisons and torture rooms.Let’s visit two of these special places, where two famous Londoners were put to death.First, we will visit the Tower Green, where Queen Anne Boleyn was executed. Anne was the second wife of King Henry VIII. Unlike most good queens, who would keep to themselves and not interfere with the king’s duties, Anne was a very smart woman. She was charming and was comfortable with expressing her ideas on politics and religion. But Henry VIII did not like this. He was also troubled that she didn’t give birth to a baby son, who could become king after he died.As much as Henry VIII wanted to marry another woman, he couldn’t, according to British law. So he decided to accuse his wife Anne of adultery. She was finally arrested and tried(审判). She was beheaded in the Tower of London in 1536.Some people say that Anne’s ghost still wanders around the chapel of St Peter ad Vincula, where she was buried.Another famous troublemaker to be executed at the Tower of London was Guy Fawkes. Guy Fawkes was in the military, and he was a Catholic with very strong religious opinions and loyalties. Another one of Guy’s passions was explosives, or fireworks. In England, a group of unhappy Catholics asked Guy to help them plan an explosion that would shake up the country’s leaders. The group wanted to kill King James, who did not agree with their religious ideology(信仰).Before the explosives could be lit, however, Guy Fawkes was captured by King James’ men. Fawkes was imprisoned in the Tower of London and tortured with very painful devices. Finally, together with the other men who were planning to kill King James, Guy Fawkes was put to death by hanging.If these stories capture the imagination of you or your family, please join us for one of our tours.6. What kind of people might like to take the tour described in the passage?A. People who want to get over shyness.B. People who love ghosts and ghouls.C. People who love interesting stories.D. People who are movie directors.7. Why did HenryⅧwant to kill Anne?A. Because Anne was smarter than him.B. Because Anne was so beautiful.C. Because Anne was good at expressing her ideas on politics and religion.D. Because he wanted to have a son but she couldn’t.8. Put these events in the order that they happened: ___________.a. Queen Anne Boleyn was executed in the Tower Green.b. Henry VIII wanted to have another wife.c. Anne was arrested for adultery.d. Anne was unable to give birth to a son.e. Henry married his first wife.A. d-c-e-a-bB. e-d-c-a-bC. e-d-b-c-aD. d-e-c-b-a9. After capturing Fawkes, what did King James do to the other men who took part in the plan?A. King James hung them on the trees.B. King James arrested them and put them in prison.C. King James put them to death by hanging.D. King James killed them except Guy Fawkes.10. Why does the writer write this article?A. To introduce London’s daunting towers.B. To attract readers to use the travel company’s services.C. To tell readers some frightening stories.D. To explain why the Tower of London is famous.五. 短文改错（请找出10个错误并改正）:I ever worked as a tour guide. One day I saw advertisement in the newspaper. I rang up the company, but I was given the job immediate. They asked me to take a tour around the city next morning. The manager just told me to say anything that I could think about the city. My first tour is terrible. The old bus was not air-conditioned, because it was the middle of summer. It was uncomfortable inside the bus. The tourist soon became very hot and angry. I owned a very hard time. I stayed there for a few weeks, and then left and joined in a better company.1.____________2. ____________3. ____________4. ____________5. ____________6.____________7. ____________8. ____________9. ____________ 10. ____________六. 书面表达：目前地球面临水资源危机，请你根据以下提示写一篇100词左右的短文。
