  • 第3题:

    The National Trust in Britain, together with similar voluntary (自愿的) organizations, plays an increasingly important part in the preservation for pubic enjoyment of the best that is left unspoiled of the British countryside.Although the Trust has received practical and moral supported by public taxes.It is a voluntary association of people who care for the unspoiled countryside and the ancient sites and historic buildings of Britain and who seek to preserve them for the permanent enjoyment of the public.It is a charity which depends for its existence on voluntary support from members in England, Wales and Northern Ireland who pay a small subscription each year, and its primary duty is to protect for the nation places of great natural beauty and places of historical interest and preserve them from the dangers of modern development and extinction.

    The attention of the public was first drawn to the dangers threatening the great old houses and castles of Britain by the late Lord Lothian, who in 1935 said that, as a result of taxation and estate duties, most of these ancient and historic houses were under sentence of death.When Lord Lothian died he left his great seventeenth-century house, Blickling Hall, and all its contents to the Trust together with the 4,5000-acre park and estate surrounding it.This gift attracted wide publicity and Blicking Hall started the Trust's "Country House Scheme".Under this scheme (计划,方案), with the cooperation of the Government and thanks to the generosity of the general public, the Trust has been able to save and make accessible to the public about one hundred and fifty of these old houses, together with their often very valuable contents.Wherever possible the Trust seeks to maintain continuity and to preserve these houses as living entities (实体) rather than as dead museums.It is the view of the Trust that the families who gave them to the nation and whose ancestors created them make the best possible curators (监护人).Last year about one and three quarters of a million people paid to visit these historic houses which are open to the general public, usually at a very small charge.

    In addition to country houses and open spaces, the Trust now owns some examples of ancient wind and water mills, nature reserves, gardens, Roman antiquities, five hundred and forty farms and nearly two thousand five hundred cottages or small village houses, as well as some complete villages like Chiddingstone in Kent, in the southeast of England.In these villages no one is allowed to build, develop or disturb the old village environment in any way and all the houses are maintained in their original sixteenth-century style.Over four hundred thousand acres of coastline, woodland, open downland and hill country are protected by the Trust and no development, modern buildings or disturbances of any kind are permitted.The public has free access to these areas and is only asked to respect the peace, beauty and wildlife.

    So it is that over the past eighty years the Trust has become a big and important organization and an essential and respected part of national life, preserving all that is of great natural beauty and of historical significance not only for future generations of Britons but also for the millions of tourists who each year invade Britain in search of a great historic and cultural heritage.

    1、"… most of these ancient and historic houses were under sentence of death" means().

    A、the historic houses would die because no one was interested in them any more

    B、the historic houses would crumble and decay through lack of money to keep them in good repair

    C、the government said that it could not spend the money to save the old historic houses

    D、the owners of historic houses would not keep them in good repair

    2、The "Country House Scheme" started().

    A、with the founding of the National Trust

    B、in order to raise money for the National Trust

    C、with the gift of Blickling Hall and its estate

    D、as a result of public interest

    3、The best people to look after these houses were considered to be ().

    A、the ancestors who created them

    B、the members of the National Trust

    C、the general public

    D、the families who gave them to the nation

    A、can be developed and modernized

    B、includes coastline, woodland, downland and hill country

    A、that the British do not like tourists

    B、that only a few tourists come to Britain

    C、the great number of tourists who come to Britain

    D、that Britain is attacked by hoards of tourists

    A.vague

  • 第6题:

    问答题
    Practice 1  There is no great difference between city, suburb and village schools in the United States. Public schools teach the same subjects in the same grades across the land. Most school buildings look the same and have the same types of rooms inside.  There is always a gym, a large room for basketball and other sports. There is a lunchroom, a school library, and an auditorium, a very large room where all the students and teachers can meet. Most schools also have rooms for the school band to practice in. They have rooms for students to type and use computers. There are usually workshops for students to work with paint, wood, metal, and other materials. These are all part of most American public schools, no matter where they are.  Each school serves a neighborhood, and neighborhoods are different. In some, the parents take an interest in what their children are doing at school. They give their time, their ideas, and they may give gifts to their schools.  That's what makes a good school in America. Generally, it doesn't matter whether the neighborhood is rich or poor, whether it is in the city, the suburbs, or the countryside. What matters is the interest the neighborhood takes in its school.

    正确答案: 【参考译文】
    在美国,城里的学校、郊区的学校或农村的学校都差不多。在全国各地的公立学校,同一年级教同样的课程。大部分学校的建筑看上去也一样,里面房间的式样也没有多大差别。
    学校里一般都有一个健身房,在里面可打篮球和做各种其他运动。此外,还有食堂、图书馆和礼堂;在礼堂里,可以举行全体师生大会。许多学校还有音乐教室,学校的乐队可在里面排练。另外还有电脑房,学生可在里面打字和使用电脑。一般学校还有工场间,学生可以学做油漆工、木工或金工等各种工艺活。不管在哪里,美国大部分公立学校都必须具备这些基础设施。
    每个学校都服务于一个社区。当然,社区之间是有差别的。在有些社区,家长对孩子在学校里的活动比较关心,他们会为学校花点时间,提些建议,甚至还会送些礼物给学校。所有这些,都是美国好学校所必须具备的条件。一般来说,社区是否富有,学校是否在城里、郊区或乡下,这些都没有什么关系。重要的是,社区对学校是否关心。

    some countries can’t afford medical knowledge and skills

    D

    developing countries don’t pay much attention to the blind


    正确答案: C
    解析:
    细节理解题。在谈到有2800人不用受苦,作者紧接着说“Unluckily, rich countries have this knowledge, but developing countries do not”,很多发展中国家不知道这些。下文又提到ORBIS为这些国家提供支持。所以世界上还有许多盲人受苦是因为有些国家无法支付他们学习知识的费用。

    第三篇

    Houses in 18th Century North America

    Seventeenth-century houses in colonial North America were simple structures that were primarily functional,carrying over traditional designs that went back to the Middle Ages.During the first half of the eighteenth century,however,houses began to show a new elegance.As wealth increased, more and more colonists built fine houses.
    Since architecture was not yet a specialized profession in the colonies,the design of buildings was left either to amateur designers or to carpenters who undertook to interpret architectural manuals imported from England.Inventories of colonial libraries show an astonishing number of these handbooks for builders,and the houses erected during the eighteenth century show their influence.Nevertheless,most domestic architecture of the first three-quarters of the eighteenth century displays a wide divergence of taste and freedom of application of the rules laid down in these books.
    Increasing wealth and growing sophistication throughout the colonies resulted in houses of improved design,whether the material was wood,stone or brick.New England still favored wood, though brick houses became common in Boston and towns, where the danger of fire gave an impetus to the use of more durable material. A few houses in New England were built of store,but only in Pennsylvania and adjacent area was stone widely used in dwellings.An increased use of brick in houses and outbuildings is noticeable in Virginia and Maryland,but wood remained the most popular material even in houses built by wealthy landowners.In the Carolinas,even in closely packed Charleston,wooden houses were much more common than brick.
    Eighteenth-century houses showed great interior improvement over their predecessors.Windows were made larger and shutters removed.Large,clear panes replaced the small leaded glass of the seventeenth century.Doorways were larger and more decorative.Fireplaces became decorative features of rooms.Walls were made of plaster or wood,sometimes elaborately paneled.White paint began to take the place of blues,yellows,greens,and lead colors,which had been popular for walls in the earlier years.After about 1730,advertisements for wallpaper styles in scenic patterns began to appear in colonial newspapers.

    What does the passage mainly discuss?
    A:The improved design of eighteenth-century colonial houses.
    B:A comparison of eighteenth-century houses and modern houses.
    C:The decorations used in eighteenth-century houses.
    D:The role of carpenters in building eighteenth-century houses.

    答案:A
    解析:
    根据文章第一段中第二句“During the first half of the eighteenth century, however , houses began to show a new elegance."(然而在18世纪前半叶,房屋开始显示出新的优稚风格。),可知本文要讨论的是18世纪殖民地房屋的设计改进。故选项A为正确答案。
    根据第二段首句“Since architecture was not yet a specialized profession in the colonies,the design of buildings was left either to amateur designers or to carpenters who under-took to interpret architectural manuals imported from England."(由于建筑在殖民地还不是一项专奋门的职业,房屋设计或者由业余设计者来做,或者由那些翻译英国进口建筑手册的木匠来做),可知在18世纪的北美,木匠负责设计房屋。故正确答案为选项D。
    根据文中第三段第四、五句“An increased use of brick in houses and outbuildings is noticeable in Virginia and Maryland,but wood remained the most popular material even in houses built by wealthy landowners.In the Carolinas,even in closely packed Charleston,wooden houses were much more common than brick."(在弗吉尼亚和马里兰,人们在房屋和外屋的建造上明显越来越喜欢使用砖料,但甚至在富有的土地主建造的房屋里面,木料仍然是最流行的材料。在南北卡罗来纳州,甚至在拥挤的查理斯顿,木制房屋也比砖房要普遍),可知正确答案为选项B。
    根据第四段第一句“Eighteenth-century houses showed great interior improvement over their predecessors.”可以看出文章是拿18世纪的房屋和“their predecessors”相比较,但从句子意思上看,肯定是与18世纪以前建造的房屋相比较。故正确答案为选项B。
    文中最后一句话“After about 1730 , advertisements for wallpaper styles in scenic patterns began to appear in colonial newspapers."(大概1730年后,殖民地报纸上开始出现了风景画形式的壁纸风格广告),言外之意就是,在此之前这种风景画式的壁纸还没有广泛使用。故正确答案为选项C。
