17、a princess, but her kids likely wont be.When it comes to the British royal family, one thing is almost always true: they have a pretty confusing set of official rules and protocols.

18、irthdays every year.If your head isnt swimming yet, consider the tradition of royal titles.

19、ge to Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge. And their children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, also bear official royal titles because their father is Prince William.However, while Prince Georges future children will also carry their fathers royal status, any children that Princess Charlotte

Maybe the British royal family will break their own rules.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英国王室头衔传承的规则。按照英国的习俗，只有王子的女儿或王子的妻子才可
25、以被视为正式的公主。公主拥有的任何子女都不会自动被视为王子或公主。因为皇室习俗规定皇室头衔是由儿子传下来的而不是女儿。1. C词义猜测题。画线词和上文中的rules是并列的，因此在词义上与rules(规则)接近，根据第二段中的“For instance, the royal family doesnt have a last name. And dont forget the fact that Queen Elizabeth celebrates two birthdays every year.”可知，王室成员没有姓氏。伊丽莎白女王每年庆祝两个生日，这是一种“规矩”。该句是在解释rules
26、和protocols，因此画线单词的意思是“规矩”。故选C。2. B细节理解题。根据第三段中的“As a British custom, only the daughter of a prince or a princes wife may be considered a formal princess”可知，按照英国的习俗，只有王子的女儿或王子的妻子才可以被视为正式的公主。因此选项中只有“王子的女儿”才被认为是公主。故选B。3. C细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Prince George and Princess Charlotte, also bear official royal titl
27、es because their father is Prince William.”可知，乔治王子和夏洛特公主也有官方的王室头衔，因为他们的父亲是威廉王子。因此夏洛特的父亲是威廉王子。故选C。4. D段落大意题。根据最后一段可知，当然，可能会有例外。女王过去曾向其他王室后代，包括伊丽莎白女王女儿安妮的子女提供过HRH身份(注：HRH身份指的是皇室身份中的王子或公主。)，但是安妮公主和她的丈夫菲利普斯上尉拒绝了。也许夏洛特公主在自己的孩子出生后也会得到同样的待遇。因此最后一段主要告诉我们的是：也许英国王室会打破自己的规矩让公主的孩子也可以享有正式的王室头衔。故选D。. 七选五Art galle

Built考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，“1. _ (build) over 2,200 years ago in what is now Sichuan Provi
54、nce in Southwest China, this amazing engineering .”为省略句，其逻辑主语是主句的主语“this amazing engineering”，动词build与它是被动关系。根据时间状语“over 2,200 years ago”推断出，动作已发生并表被动。故要用过去分词built。故填Built。2. achievement考查名词。“this amazing engineering 2. _ (achieve) is still used today”中，空格所在处在句中作主语，所以要用名词形式。而achieve是动词，故用其名词形式achiev
