So, no matter (无论)where you stand, you can read the time on the face of Big Ben. Each face is the size of a bus. The hands are about four meters long. It is about the size of two people standing on top each other. If you go to London, you may want to visit the Houses of Parliament. (国会大厦)In that place you will find Big Ben sits at the top of the clock tower in the Houses of Parliament. You will probably hear it and see it. The big clock makes such a loud noise. “Ding dong, ding dong.” It goes, every quarter of an hour. The name of Big Ben comes from a big builder.

试题分析:这篇短文为我们介绍的是英国的大本钟。大本钟有四张表盘,每一张表盘都像一辆公共汽车那么大。无论你站在哪里,都能看到大本钟上的时间。它的指针有4米长。在伦敦的国会大厦上,你可以看到大本钟,也能听到它的钟声。
小题1:细节理解题。根据短文的第一句话Big Ben is not the name of a man. It is the name of a big clock in London可知,Big Ben 不是一个人的名字,它是伦敦的一个大钟的名字。故Big Ben 是一个大钟。故选B。
小题2:细节理解题。根据短文的前几句话Big Ben is not the name of a man. It is the name of a big clock in London. London is the capital of England.可知,Big Ben 在伦敦,而伦敦是英国的首都。选项中the UK.也是英国的意思。故选D。A是中国;B是美国;C是日本。
小题3:细节理解题。根据短文中It goes, every quarter of an hour.可知,大本钟每一刻钟敲响一次。这句话中的quarter是一刻钟的意思,我们知道,一刻钟就是15分钟。故选B。
小题4:细节理解题。根据短文中This clock has four faces. So, no matter (无论)where you stand, you can read the time on the face of Big Ben可知,这个大本钟有四张表盘,所以无论你站在哪里,你都能看到大本钟上的时间。故选D。
小题5:词义猜测题。hand 我们知道它的本意是手,但是因为这篇短文主要为我们介绍的是英国的大本钟,所以我们知道,这里的hand 指的是表盘上的指针。故选C。

Some people have a very poor sense(感觉) of direction. Unlucky, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.
When I was a little girl, I never dared ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk round in circle and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.
Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone asks me the way somewhere, I would say, “sorry, I am a stranger here.”
Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps. I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn’t want to keep him waiting.
When I just got to my office, the secretary showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight!

“Thanks. We’d love to. What time?” or “___小题1:___”However, it is not polite to say “No, we wouldn't!”
Sometimes, the British use expressions that sound like invitations but which are not invitations. For example, “___小题2:___” These are usually just polite ways of ending a talk. They are not real invitations because they don't mention an exact time or day. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly and the answers are “Yes, that would be nice.” or “___小题3:___”.
So next time you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully. Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?

小题4:What is the article mainly about?
A.Britain.B.A letter to friends.C.Invitations.D.A talk with friends.
