你听说过比萨斜塔吗？这是一个著名的建筑，有几百年的历史，位于意大利的比萨市。这个塔一开始不是倾斜的，那么究竟为什么它后来变得倾斜了呢？我们从文章中来了解一下吧。
【1】我们观察图片可以看到，图片中的塔是倾斜的。上句话说Nothing is wrong with your eyes你的眼睛没有问题，那么就是这座塔有了问题。故应选C。
【2】根据这一段的内容可知，这里给我们介绍了比萨斜塔的历史，这一段中出现了一些表示时间、年代的词，如In 1173…In 1178…After about 200 years, in 1370等等。这个空在这一段的开头，是这一段的中心句，故应选E。
【3】根据空格所在的上下文可知，这里介绍的是比萨斜塔的一些具体信息，前面讲的是在1370年，人们修建完成了这座塔。下句话说的是这座塔的高度，空格上也应是介绍塔的信息，故应选A，意思是“这座塔有八层。”
【4】根据下文的意思可知，关于比萨斜塔为什么会倾斜，人们有不同的观点，这里作者给我们讲述了其中的一种。因此这个空应选D，意思是“它为什么会倾斜？”
【5】根据下句话Each bell stands for a musical note可知，这里提到每个钟代表一个音符，因此这个空应介绍塔里的钟，故应选B，意为：它里面有七个钟。
