4、any. It was built in wet land on foundations of oak tree trunk (树干) .When the land was drained (排水) later, the wood broke down, causing one side of the tower to be a little lower than the other. In 1975, the tower became a real hazard and people were not allowed to enter until the foundations were m
5、ade strong again. The tower leans at about five degrees.The Leaning Tower of Pisa The work of building the tower began in 1173, and was finally completed in 1372. In fact, it began to lean after just a couple of floors were built. And this condition continued in the centuries after its completion. T
6、he tower was finally closed to the public in 1990 after people failed to stabilize (使稳固) its foundations. In 2001, it was reopened after engineers removed soil from underneath its raised side.

Also known as the leaning tower of Abu Dhabi, the tower is one of the tallest buildings in
8、 the city.Big Ben of LondonThe building leans 0. 26 degrees to the northwest. This was mainly caused by the engineering projects that have been carried out in the ground below it since the late 1800s.

11、 of London.BLearning any language is hard, but learning English can be even more challenging. Why? Because native speakers use the language in ways that textbooks could never describe. In particular, words that British people use cause many language students to scratch their heads.Heres an example:
12、You overhear a Briton calling someone a “wazzock”. But what exactly is a “wazzock”? This word, in fact, means a foolish person, although theres nothing about it that would help you guess that. There are many strange terms like this in British English the Oxford English Dictionary would be much small
13、er without these peculiar (古怪的) usages filling its pages.How can these odd words be explained? Part of the answer is the British sense of humor. Britons dont like to take things too seriously, and this is evident through many British words and phrases. For example, to “spend a penny” means to use th
14、e bathroom. It refers to the days when people had to pay a penny to use a public toilet.In an interview for the BBCs website, British linguist David Crystal suggested there may be historical reasons for the sheer number of odd words and phrases in British English. He thinks that they began in the la
15、te 16th and early 17th centuries. This was a great age for the theater, when Shakespeare and other writers worked hard to keep up with the demand for new plays. The theaters popularity also created an incentive (刺激) to invent new words.With this in mind, perhaps Shakespeare and his peers are to blam
16、e for unusual British words such as “codswallop” and “balderdash” which both, ironically, mean “nonsense”.While these strange words may be confusing to non-native speakers, they certainly make studying English a lot more interesting.14. According to the text, why may non-native speakers find it hard
17、 to learn English?A. Dictionaries dont explain odd usages of many words. B. A great many strange words make no sense to them.C. The English textbooks they study are usually out of date.D. They are unable to understand the humor in conversations.15. With the example of “spend a penny”, the author int
18、ends to _.A. explain how some strange phrases were created B. explain the meaning and background of the phraseC. show what typical British sense of humour isD. show British peoples attitude toward strange words16. According to David Crystal, _.A. many of the words that Shakespeare invented were nons
19、ense B. Shakespeares works are boring because of the odd words involvedC. the theatres success in the 17th century inspired the birth of many odd wordsD. the odd words in Shakespeares plays contributed a lot to the theatres popularity17. What is the text mainly about?A. The development of the Britis
20、h English.B. Shakespeares influence on strange words in British English.C. The origin and meanings of British humour.D. Some reasons for the large number of odd words in British English.CShould we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to an
21、swer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons for example, economic (经济的) reasons why they should be preserved? So, let us assume that historical building
22、s are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed? In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed
23、 very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are in, but the sa
24、me can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative (保守的) and do not like change.Although we have to respect peoples feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is
25、the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky cho
26、ice.18. What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph? A. Some of them are not attractive.B. Most of them are too expensive to preserve.C. They are more pleasing than modern buildings.D. They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.19. Which of the following
27、 is TRUE according to the author? A. We should reproduce the same old buildings.B. Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.C. No one understands why people speak against new buildings.D. Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.20. By “move things forward” in the last paragraph,
28、the author probably means “_” A. destroy old buildingsB. choose new architectural styleC. put things in a different placeD. respect peoples feelings for historical buildings21. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain why people dislike change.B. To warn that we could end up living in
29、caves.C. To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.D. To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings. DIt seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble. Thats more or less what happened the night that Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty.“I
30、was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got onto Highway 40, blue lights and sirens (警笛) going, I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway. The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me. He was going more than a hu
31、ndred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder.” But Hyde couldnt go after him. Taking care of injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try to keep the Firebird in sight as he drove, hoping ano
32、ther nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car. As it turned out, keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult. Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene. Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination. At tha
33、t point he found another unit had already arrived at the accident scene. His help wasnt needed. Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the Firebird, who by this time had developed something new to panic about. “Just about that time,” Hyde says, “I saw fire coming out from under that car, with
34、blue smoke and oil going everywhere. Hed blown his engine. Now he had to stop.” “After I arrested him, I asked him why he was running. He told me he didnt have a drivers license (执照).”That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty a thousand dollars for the new engine not to mention the charge
35、s for driving without a license, attempting to run away, and dangerous driving.22. Why did the driver of the Firebird suddenly speed down the highway? A. Because he was racing with another driver on the road. B. Because he realized he had to hurry to the accident scene. C. Because he thought the pol
36、ice officer wanted to stop him. D. Because he wanted to overtake other cars on the shoulder.23. Which of the following statements is true? A. Someone else was taking care of the injured people. B. The Pontiac reached its destination at the accident scene. C. Hyde knew where he was going by following
37、 the right car. D. The policeman was running after a speeder on Highway 40.24. The driver of the Firebird _. A. took a wrong turn on the wayB. had some trouble with his carC. was stopped by the police officerD. paid for the expenses of the accident25. What is probably the best title for the article?
38、 A. Losing His Way? B. Going My Way?C. Fun All the Way? D.
