9.There are thirty-four bridges on the Thames in London; the following are among the most famous ones.
Tower Bridge
Tower Bridge has stood over the Thames in London since 1894and is one of the finest,most recognizable bridges in the world.It is the bridge in London you may see in movies and on advertising writing for London.Tower Bridge is the only Thames bridge that can be raised.It used to be raised about 50 times a day,but nowadays it is only reised 4 to 5 times a week.
London Bridge
The construshtion of the first stone London Bridge started in 1176and finished years later.Houses and shops were once built on the bridge,which made the road so narrow that it was often jammed with people,horse and carts.A‘keep left'rule was made in 1733to keep the traffic moving.This became the rule of the road in Britain.In 1757the old bridge was pulled down and a new one was built in 1831.Interestingly,that one was pulled down again in 1967but rebuilt in Lake Havasu City,the USA,as a tourist attraction,The present London Brdge was opened in 1973.
Millennium Bridge
Millennium Bridge is a bridge for walkers.It was built to connect the Tate Modern Art Gallery to the city and St Paul's Cathedral(圣保罗大教堂) in 2000.Thousands of people rushed to see the new bridge.Almost imediately after open-ing,the bridge had to be shut because of the dangerous waving caused by too many visitors.It has now been reopened.The bridge is about 320meters,costs 16million pounds to build and only takes walkers.
Westminster Bridge
Westminster Bridge is a road and foot traffic bridge over the Thames between Westminster and Lambeth.The present bridge,opened in 1862,is the second on the site and took the place of an earlier bridge opened in 1750.The British romntic poet,William Wordsworth,wrote a famous popem Composed up-on Westminster Brdge in the autumn of 1802.

分析 本文主要从不同的方面介绍了伦敦泰晤士河上的著名的四座大桥--塔桥、伦敦桥、千禧桥以及威斯敏斯特桥.

解答 答案:
53.C   细节推理题    根据Tower Bridge部分中的"Tower Bridge is the only Thames bridge that can be raised(塔桥是唯一可以被提升的泰晤士桥)"可知,如果在泰晤士河上有一艘大型的船只,它可以穿过塔桥;故选C
54.A  细节理解题   根据London Bridge部分中的"Houses and shops were once built on the bridge,which made the road so narrow that it was often jammed with people,horse and carts."可知,由于在伦敦桥上曾经建了一些房子和商店,它的上面经常挤满了人,马和车,所以使得伦敦桥变窄了;故选A
55.B    细节推理题     根据最后一段"Want to know more about the bridges on the Thames?Click here www.bridgesinbritain.Com."提供的网址可知,本文是来自网站上的文章;故选B
56.C   推理判断题     根据最后一段"The British romantic poet,William Wordsworth,wrote a famous poem…1802."只提到英国浪漫主义诗人威廉•华兹华斯,于1802年的秋天写了一首关于威斯敏斯特桥的著名的诗;并没有提到他写了许多有关泰晤士桥的诗,故排除A;根据Millennium Bridge部分中的"the bridge had to be shut because of the dangerous waving caused by too many visitors."可知,由于客流量过大,会产生危险,所以伦敦的千禧桥曾经被关闭;文中并没有提到千禧桥是由于不够结实而被拆了重建,故排除B;根据Tower Bridge部分"Tower Bridge has…and  is one of the finest,most recognizable bridges in the world"只提到塔桥是世界上最好的,最知名的桥梁之一,并没有提到因为塔桥是伦敦泰晤士河上的第一座桥,而使得它成为伦敦的象征,故排除D;根据London Bridge部分"A‘keep left'rule was made in 1733 to keep the traffic moving.This became the rule of the road in Britain"讲到了英国靠左行走的道路交通规则正是源于伦敦桥上的交通规则;故选C

点评 做本题时,首先应快速浏览全文,掌握文章的大意以及作者的写作思路;其次,可以通过对相关细节的理解,概括段落大意以及通过逻辑推理,选出正确的答案.

4.Reading is the key to success.Apparently every successful person develops a passion for reading.This is because reading is a key element to obtain the information required to understand something.For instance,lawyers have to study and learn every established law on their specific branches.Sometimes the law changes according to people's needs.A good lawyer has to be informed about the latest news in the court.A doctor has to be informed of the latest advances in medicine.
Reading is very important for all mankind.Everything is relative in this world,especially reading.Reading can open m any doors and it can lead you into a path of success.Studies have confirmed that reading to your unborn child is very good.This way your child w ill develop a passion for reading.
How do you develop a passion for reading?There is only one way you can boost your passion for reading.Let me explain this to you.If you want to learn how to ride a bike,you have to get on the bike as many times as possible until you have learned.It works the same way with reading.If you want to boost your reading,take a book and read it all the way through.When you finish reading your first book,take another book and do the same.Try to read as much as you can.If you are going out,grab a magazine,a book,an article or something to read.
There is a very important factor behind the reading-reading comprehension.It's what makes you understand the meaning behind the text.Let's assume that you read a document and you are supposed to explain the meaning of the document.How would you exp lain the document if you couldn't capture the message of the author?

C.comparing the opinions of different people

D.aiming high
E.Not putting all your eggs in one basket
F.reasons for failures in business

Road to Success
61.B
 Many of the leading businessmen of Pittsburgh had a serious responsibility thrust upon them at the initial stage of their career.They were introduced to the broom,and spent the first hours of their business lives sweeping out the office.I notice we have professional sweepers now in offices,and our young men unfortunately miss that useful branch of business education.But if by chance the professional sweeper is absent any morning,the boy who has the genius of the future partner in him will not hesitate to try his hand at the broom.It does not hurt the newest comer to sweep out the office if necessary.I was one of those sweepers myself.
62.D
Assuming that you have all obtained employment and are fairly started,my advice to you is to be ambitious.I would think nothing of the young man who does not already see himself the partner or the head of an important firm.Do not rest content for a moment in your thoughts as head clerk,or foreman,or general manager in any concern,no matter how extensive.Say to yourself,"My place is at the top."Be king in your dreams.
63.C
Persistence is the consistent factor in most people who succeed,no matter what they are succeeding at.Yet,in the work place we often seem to forget to persist what we are doing.It's easy to get discouraged when you continually try to achieve something and it doesn't work out.But remember that if you try long enough,hard enough and make adjustments along the way,sooner or later you will get to your goal.
64.A
And here is another prime condition of success,the great secret:focus your energy,thought,and capital totally upon the business in which you are engaged.Having begun in one line,resolve to fight it out on that line,to lead in it,adopt every improvement,have the best machinery,and know the most about it.
65.F
The companies which fail are those which have scattered their capital,which means that they have scattered their brains also.They have investments in this,or that,or the other,here there,and everywhere."Don't put all your eggs in one basket."is all wrong.I tell you to"put all your eggs in one basket,and then watch that basket."Look round you and take notice,men who do that not often fail.It is easy to watch and carry the one basket.It is trying to carry too many baskets that breaks most eggs in this country.He who carries three baskets must put one on his head,which is easy to fall and trip him up.
To summarize what I have said:aim for the highest; never enter a bar room; never speculate; never indorse beyond your surplus cash fund; make the firm's interest yours; put all your eggs in one basket,and watch that basket; for as Emerson says,"no one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourselves."
