  LONDON,England,a capital city full of art and history,an important political centre,a huge financial market place.

  Whatever you think about London, visiting as a tourist is very different from living there. Each part of London has its own character. Some parts are richer than others,or more industrial, or have better housing.

   Let's start with the centre, the "Square Mile". This is the oldest part of London. In the past,this is where all financial business was done. Not many people live here,but 300,000 people work here every day.

   Moving west,we come to the West End. This busy shopping and entertainment district is bursting with things to do. Take a walk down Oxford Street, past big department stores like Sel-fridges and Harrods.      Rents here are very high,a one-bedroom apartment may cost around 1000 pounds (14,845 yuan) a week.

Further away is West London. This area is more residential and very fashionable. Go see the home of Diana, the Princess of Wales:Kensington Palace. Notting Hill,made famous by the film starring Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts, is here.

   The East End contains the Port of London,which historically is where many immigrants first arrived. Waves of French, Belgians, Jews,Pakistanis and Bangladeshis have all lived here. This makes the area very diverse(各式各样的) ,but also quite poor. It has a reputation as being dangerous. Since London won the bid to hold the Olympics in 2012, many Londoners hope that housing, education and employment for many people in this area will improve.

   It is difficult to be general about London. The city is made up of a "collection of villages", each area with its own character and community. Put them all together, and you have London, a international capital.

(   ) 1. It can be inferred from the passage that         .

   A.more tourists would rather visit London thanFranceevery year

   B.the West End in London is the oldest part of London

   C.the film Notting Hill made the actress Julia Roberts famous in London

   D.Kensington Palace is one of the places of interest in London

(   ) 2. What does the word "reputation" in Paragraph 6 mean in Chinese?

   A.名声,名誉   B.治安   C.住房   D.环境

(   ) 3. All of the following are true except         .

   A.Many people work in the oldest part of London every day

   B.It costs quite a lot to rent a flat in West End

   C.There are many immigrants in the east part of London

   D.London will compete for the bid to hold the Olympic in 2012 

(   ) 4. The passage serves as         .

   A.a poster to draw many visitors to London

   B.an introduction of something about London to the foreigners

   C.a declaration of supporting the Olympics in 2012

   D.an ad to make London more famous

1-4 DADB  

A篇简要介绍了伦敦的构成及各部分的大致情况。

1.D逻辑推理题。A项在文中并没有提到,文章第三段提到了the "Square Mile"是伦敦最古老的部分,因此,B项不符合描述。第五段提到了电影Notting Hill使该地出名并非使演员出名。因此,C项错误。D项在文章第五段提到。

2.A词汇猜测题。根据as being dangerous,可以得出A项是正确答案。

3.D事实判断题。A,B,C三项在文章中都提到了,而D项与原文中London won the bid to hold the Olympics in 2012的描述不吻合。

4.B意图揣摩题。从全文看本文主要是介绍性的文字所以B项为正确答案。

  I liked smoking. When I smoked with my family,I would feel so relaxed and good that 1      else in the world seemed to 2      . I thought that smoking weed(烟草) was 3       since many of my family members and people at my school smoked. Nothing ever happened to them.

4       I started smoking weed a lot more during lunch and after school. I never thought 5       of it just that I wanted to smoke. Not that it was actually 6       my mind and body. Then I be?gan to fall behind in school. I would 7       classes, come home late and spend all my money. I would spend 8       8 to 18 dollars a day. I never thought 9       that marijuana(大麻) had a bad effect on those things. Maybe my coming to class high was the reason why I was failing or coming home late. As I continued to smoke marijuana, I began to notice that I would always have the strong desire to smoke and that I would get 10       cigarettes if I smoked those,but I don't smoke marijuana. 11       I have learned more about marijuana, I have reduced 12       of marijuana that I use.

I think it only brings more 17       . Marijuana is not good for your body or your brain. I'm not trying to tell you not to smoke, I'm just letting you know that marijuana can be 18       to your health, and in the long term it may cause some long term negative(负面的) effects. Help your?self now, 19       it is too late. I don't want to lecture anyone, just 20       my experience with you. I do still smoke, but not as often.
