United Kingdom.Here are some reasons why the Tower was and still is a cool place.
Ravens(渡鸦) are like superheroes.
Well, sort of.Legend says if the ravens that live on the Tower grounds ever leave, the Tower will fall apart.No one knows when the ravens first showed up, but Charles II took the legend so seriously that in the 1670s he gave an official order that six ravens be kept there all the time.Today
there are still always six.
You might have lived at a zoo.
In 1204, King John kept a collection of animals, including lions and elephants.About 50 years later, King Henry III received a polar bear.the bear was kept on a piece of rope so it could fish from the Thames River that flows by the Tower.
If you lived at the Tower today, your mom or dad might be in charge.
The 35 Yeoman Warders(伦敦塔卫士)and their families are among the few still allowed to live at the Tower.Established in 1509 a;? bodyguards! for the king, today they give tours and manage the day-to-day details of the Tower.They’re called "beefeaters," possibly because their job once allowed them to eat beef from the king’s; table.
You need a secret password at night.
Called the "Word," the password changes every 24 hours and is a must-have to enter the Tower
after hours.It’s written on a piece of paper and delivered to the Yeoman on duty for, the night.
You could find buried gold.
In 1662, a goldsmith(金匠) named John Barfcstead supposedly hid more than $40,000 worth of stolen gold somewhere on.the Tower grounds.Many have searched for the gold, but it has never
been found.

A.he loved animals a lot |

C.Nobody is allowed to enter it at night. |
D.It is also used as a prison nowadays. |
答案
小题1:B
小题1:C
小题1:B
解析
小题1: C. 细节理解题。根据第七自然段中的“bodyguards! for the king, today they give tours and manage the day-to-day details of the Tower.”可知现在的卫兵有时充当导游的角色向游客介绍伦敦塔的详细资料。
小题1: B. 细节理解题。根据第五自然段中的“the bear was kept on a piece of rope so it could fish from the Thames River that flows by the Tower.”可知答案。本句说泰晤士河在塔旁流过,所以该塔应伫立在泰晤士河的河岸上,因此答案B是正确的。(饲养动物的是king John不是King Henry III 所以A答案错误;晚上可以进入伦敦塔,但“You need a secret password at night.”所以C也不正确;D说现在的伦敦塔还被用作监狱显然错误。)

Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.
People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.
Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs—folic acid.
It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.

They took control of the phone box when telecoms operator BT said it was going to pull it down, an announcement that caused such dissatisfaction that one local woman threatened to chain herself to the box to save it. “I’d have done it, “ insisted Kendall Turner. “It would have been heartbreaking for the village. “ Local councilor Tricia Hallam, who came up with the idea for the phone box’s change, said quite a few people would have joined her, adding, “ We couldn’t let it go because it’s a British symbol.”
Only three feet by three feet wide, and standing 2.51-meter tall, the phone boxes were designed by Giles Gilbert Scott in 1936 for the 25th anniversary of the reign of King George V. Painted in “Post Office red” to match the post boxes, they were once a typical image of England and the backdrop(背景) to millions of tourist photographs.
Eight years ago there were about 17,000 across Britain, but today, in a country where almost everybody has a mobile phone, 58 percent are no longer profitable and ten percent are only used once a month. “On average, maintaining them costs £800 a year per phone box-about £44 million annually,” said John Lumb, general manager for BT Payphones.
小题1:Some red phone boxes in Britain have been used for ____.
a. selling flowers b. cooking c. reading d. exhibiting art or poetry
A.a, b | B.c, d | C.a,b,c | D.b,c,d |
A.Because millions of people visit Britain to see the red phone boxes. |
B.Because the local people could earn a lot of money from the red phone boxes. |
C.Because the red phone boxes have already become a symbol of Britain. |

A.Green | B.Red | C.Black | D.Yellow |
A.supportive | B.Opposed | C.Neutral | D.Indifferent. |
