The Taj Mahal (泰姬陵) is a love story, a sad and beautiful one. If it didn’t exist, we would easily imagine that the story of its construction was simply a fairy tale. Three hundred years ago, there lived an Indian emperor called Shah Jahan. His wife was a beautiful and bright woman whom he loved greatly. Her title was Mumtazl Mahan: its shortened form Taj Mahan, means “pride of the palace”. In the year 1630 this beloved wife of the emperor died. He was so brokenhearted that he thought of giving up his throne. He decided out of his love for his wife, to build her the most beautiful tomb that had ever been seen.
He summoned the best artists and architects from India, Turkey, Persia and Arabia and finally, the design was complete. It took more than twenty thousand men working over a period of 18 years to build the Taj Mahan, one of the most beautiful buildings in the world.
The building itself stands on a marble platform 29 meters square and 6-7 meters high. Towers rise from each of the four corners. The Taj itself soars another 61 meters into the air. It is an eight-sided building made of white marble.
The emperor planned to build an identical tomb of black marble for himself on the other side of the river connected by a silver bridge. However his son put him into a prison in the palace before he could finish, and for the rest of his life, he could only gaze across river at the tomb of his beloved wife.
1.The whole passage tells us about ______.
A. a beautiful fairy tale
B. the story of the Taj Mahal
C. white and black marble tombs made for two emperors
D. the love story of Emperor Shah Jahan and his wife
2.Which of the following statements is NOT true about the Taj Mahal?
A. It was completed quickly owing to the efforts of the best artists and workers.
B. A lot of people took part in the building work
C. It is a magnificent building.
D. It is a tomb for the emperor’s beloved wife.
3.The emperor’s own tomb was designed to be ____________.
A. meters high
B. eight-sided
C. black-coloured
D. white-colored
4.The emperor _____________.
A. died soon after Taj Mahan died
B. was killed by his son
C. was beloved by his people
D. died after 1648
1.B
2.A
3.C
4.D
【解析】
试题分析: 文章从一个感人的爱情故事引出的泰姬陵的建造，包括建筑设计结构情况，建筑耗时多久等方面
1.B主旨题：虽然文中第一句话“The Taj Mahal is a love story”是讲爱情故事， 但是后三段都在讲泰姬陵的建造，是围绕泰姬陵来说的而非爱情故事，故选B。
2.A细节题：从第二段中“It took more than twenty thousand men working over a period of 18 years to build the Taj Mahal, ...”可知建泰姬陵花了很长时间，A项错误，B项正确。从“...one of the most beautiful buildings in the world”可知，C项正确;由“...to build her the most beautiful tomb that had never been seen”可知，D项正确，所以答案为A。
3.C细节题：由最后一段“The emperor planned to build an identical tomb of black marble for himself on the other side ...”可知，黑色的坟墓是君主自己的，故选C。
4.D推断题。由第一段“In the year 1630 this beloved wife of the emperor died ...”和“It took 18 years ...to build the Taj Mahal”可推测，君主是1648年以后死的，选D

The expression “Go for it!” is a way of encouraging someone to try something. “Go for it!” means you should not worry about failure or be too careful. You should take a chance, be brave, and act firmly.
“Go for it!” gets name from football. Not football as it is played in most countries such as England, Egypt or Japan, but the kind of football played in the United States and Canada.
One of the most exciting times in football comes when a team has failed, after three attempts, to move the ball forward ten yards. The team must make a critical decision.
The conservative (保守) choice is to kick the ball and accept temporary defeat in order to gain a good position for your team the next time it gets the ball. The more exciting choice, however, is to try a fourth and final time to gain the remaining yards needed.
People present are certain to shout their advice. Some will shout: “Kick the ball!” But others will encourage the team to take a chance. “Go for it!” they will scream.
In the nineteen eighties, people began using this expression in many kinds of situations to encourage someone to act bravely.
There is no guarantee (保证) that the action you “go for it” will succeed. But that is the chance you take when you decide to go for it. You put your fears behind. You choose courage over safety. You hold your breath and go for it.
1.The expression “Go for it!” comes from .
A. English football B. Egyptian football
C. Japanese football D. American football
2.According to the passage, when we decide to go for it, we only consider .
A. safety B. action C. result D. situation
3.In which of the following situations should we use the expression nowadays?
A. We decide to avoid trouble or danger for the future.
B. We try to improve our English for better education.
C. We need to make a quick decision at the last moment.
D. We have to make a choice between success and failure.
