Good afternoon, and welcome to England. We hope that your visit here will be a pleasant one. Today, I would like to draw your attention to a few of our laws.

  The first one is about drinking. Now, you may not buy alcohol in this country if you are under 18 years of age, nor may your friends buy it for you.

  Secondly, noise. Enjoy yourselves by all means, but please don't make unnecessary noise, particularly at night. We ask you to respect other people who may wish to be quiet.

  Thirdly, crossing the road. Be careful. The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country. Use pedestrian crossing and do not take any chances when crossing the road. My next point is about litter(throwing away waste material in a public place). It is an offence to drop litter in the street.

  When you have something to throw away, please put it in your pocket and take it home, or put it in a litter bin. Finally, as regards smoking, it is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco if you are under 16 years of age.

  I'd like to finish by saying that if you require any sort of help or assistance, you should contact your local police station, who will be pleased to help you.

  Now, are there any questions?

The main purpose of this speech would be to ______.

    A. prepare people for international travel

    B. declare the laws of different kinds

    C. give advice to travelers to the country

    D. inform people of the punishment for breaking laws

  How many laws are there discussed in the speech?

    A. Three.     B. Four.     C. Five.      D. Six.

  From the speech we learn that ______.

    A. in this country, if you are under 18 years of age, you may not buy alcohol, but your friend can buy it for you

    B. you may not buy cigarettes or tobacco unless you are above 16 years of age

    C. because the traffic moves on the left side of the road, you must use pedestrian crossings when crossing the road

    D. you can't make noise except at night

【小題1】C

【小題2】C

【小題3】B


解析:

【小題1】本題考查對文章整體意義的理解。從文中第一段“…,welcome to England. ”和“I would like to draw attention to a few of our laws.”可以得出答案C,“give advice to travelers to the country.”

【小題2】文章的第二、三、四、五段分別給出了具體內(nèi)容:drinking, noise, crossing the road, litter and smoking.

【小題3】從文中第二段可知,A選項中的“but your friend can buy it for you”是錯誤的。C項的前后兩句并不構(gòu)成因果關(guān)系。D項中的except at night和原文的particularly at night正好矛盾,也不正確,所以正確選項為B。

Last evening I was watching the evening news on television. The news was about a prize for scientific  1   ;I forgot what it was. The announcer, whose name was Ralph Story, said something that caught my  2  .“All great discoveries,”he said,“are made by people between the ages of twenty-five and thirty.”  3   a little over thirty myself, I wanted to disagree with him.  4   wants to think that he is past the age of making any discovery. The next day I happened to be in the public library and spent several hours looking up the  5  of famous people and their discoveries. Ralph was right.

First I looked at some of the   6   discoveries. One of the earliest discoveries, the famous experiment that proved that bodies of different  7   fall at the same speed, was made by Galileo when he was 26. Madam Curie started her research that  8   to the Nobel Prize when she was 28. Einstein was 26 when he published his world-changing theory of relativity. Well,  9   of that. Yet I  10   if those“best years”were true in other  11   .

Then how about the field of   12   ? Surely it needs the wisdom of age to make a good leader. Perhaps it  13   ,but look when these people  14   their career. Winston Churchill was elected to the House of Commons at the age of 26. Abraham Lincoln  15   the life of a country lawyer and was elected to government. At what age? Twenty-six.

But why  16   best years some after thirty? After thirty, I  17   ,most people do not want to take risks or try   18   ways. Then I thought of people like Shakespeare and Picasso. The former was writing wonderful works at the ripe age of fifty, while the latter was  19   trying new ways of painting when he was ninety!

Perhaps there is still  20   for me.
