【解析】
本文对巴黎标志性建筑埃菲尔铁塔进行了介绍。在最开始时,埃菲尔铁塔的建造就受到了艺术家的质疑。
【1】句意:埃菲尔铁塔每年吸引超过700万游客。
根据句意可知,埃菲尔铁塔每年吸引超过700万游客,但句子主语是visitors“游客”,故空格处应填入意为“吸引”动词的被动态,C选项attracted符合句意,故应选C。
【2】句意:埃菲尔铁塔设计的初衷是参加世界博览会。
根据句意可知,埃菲尔铁塔设计的初衷是参加世界博览会,句子主语是The Eiffel Tower“埃菲尔铁塔”,与谓语design“设计”之间是被动关系,A选项designed符合句意,故应选A。
【3】句意:然而,在它建好前,有几位法国艺术家认为在法国首都巴黎建造这样一个奇怪的金属塔并不合适。
根据句意可知,空格处应填入一个形容词来修饰tower,根据常识埃菲尔铁塔是钢结构建筑,E选项metal符合句意,故应选E。
【4】句意:他们认为埃菲尔铁塔与巴黎其他名胜古迹的传统美不相衬。
根据句意可知,空格处应填入一个形容词来修饰beauty,而这个“美丽”指的是巴黎其他名胜古迹之美,备选单词还剩下B选项equal和D选项traditional,根据单词意思D选项更符合句意,故应选D。

The Home has been caring for lost and unwanted animals for over 140 years. R【1】, the staff there got a shock when they came to work in the morning. They found that some of the dogs had got out of their kennels during the night, opened cupboards and taken out food and toys. And it happened again, and again. The manager, Becky Blackmore, d【2】 that the only way to solve the mystery was to put in cameras to record how the dogs were getting out.
When she and her staff played back the recording, they saw Red, a three-year old lurcher, put his nose through the bars of his kennel and use his teeth to press the button that opened his door. That was c【3】 enough, but Red did more: he unlocked the kennels next to his and let those dogs out too. The group went along the corridor, broke into cupboards and s【4】 dog biscuits and toys to play with.
Becky Blackmore said, ‘It’s surprising, because lurchers aren’t famous for their intelligence. It’s a【5】 that he worked out how to open his own kennel, but also that he then let all his friends out.’ Like most of us, I suppose, Red didn’t like to have a party a【6】!
Red, a lurcher, opening a kennel
The story has a happy ending: after Red was shown on television, several people came forward and offered to give him a new home as a family pet. ‘We are very happy about this,’ said a member of staff at the Dogs’ Home. ‘Lurchers are usually difficult to find homes for. When Red arrived here four months ago, he was very thin and in poor c【7】. Now he can look forward to a comfortable new life with an owner who wants him.
