分析 伦敦的钟塔在1834年被烧毁了.人们计划建一个世界上最大、最好的新钟.因此,这个钟要大而且时间精确.几年后钟塔建好了,人们把大钟安放到钟塔上,在1859年7月11号这一天敲响了它的第一声.
为了给大钟起一个好名字,人们举行了一次会议.有人想叫它钟声女王,有人认为维多利亚也不错.最后,一名叫本杰明•霍尔的体格健壮的男子站了起来.他还没说话就有人喊,"为什么不叫大本钟?"大家都笑了,同意了他的意见.
从那时起,它就叫大本钟了,而且也成为了伦敦著名的建筑.世界各地的人都给大本钟写信,甚至送瓶油以帮助保持大本钟运行.大本钟不仅是时钟也是人们亲爱的朋友.
解答 36.C.细节理解题.根据and made it ring out for the first time on July 11,1859.可知大本钟是在1859年7月11号响起第一声钟声的.因此它的生日便是这一天,故选C.
37.B.推理判断题.本题从第二段最后一句:someone shouted,"Why not call it Big Ben?"Everybody laughed and agreed with him.可推断出答案,在Benjamin Hall要发言的时候,因为Benjamin体格巨大,就有人说为什么不叫BIG BEN呢?每个人都笑了,说明这是个玩笑.故选B.
38.B.推理判断题.根据People planned to build a new clock which would be the biggest and best in the world,可知人们希望这个钟应该是"biggest and the best",这与后文的句子是对应的.Big对应biggest,Keep very good time与the best对应.对clock而言,the best就应该是时间很准,所以选B.故选B.
39.C.判断正误题,根据They even send birthday presents-bottles of oil to help keep Big Ben running,可知文中提到人们写信给big Ben但并没提到人们希望能收到回信,所以C选项错误.从:Big Ben is not only a clock but also a dear friend of people.可知大本钟不仅是一只钟,也是人们的好朋友.所以A是对的.从:They even send bottles of oil to help keep Big Ben running.可知甚至送瓶油以帮助保持大本钟运行,所以B是对的.从:People planned to build a new clock which would be the biggest and the best in the world.可知人们计划建一个世界上最大、最好的新钟.所以D是对的.故选C.
40.D.推理判断题.根据上下文:people held a meeting.a man named Benjamin Hall stood up.可知Benjamin Hall是来参加起名会议的人,因此答案选D.故选D.
