答案:1.B;2.C;3.A;4.C;
解析:

(1)

细节辨认题.“The center, or City of London, is quite small, only about one square mile”(伦敦中心或“伦敦市”很小,只有一平方英里).选项A指的是整个伦敦,包括市中心及其周边地区;选项B指的是伦敦中心(或“伦敦市”),选项C指的是“大伦敦地区”,是整个伦敦地区的一部分且材料明确提到它的面积(比伦敦市)大得多.由此可知正确答案为选项B.解答本题要注意区别“City of London”(伦敦市,即伦敦中心)和“the city of London”(伦敦).

(2)

目的原因题.材料中间部分提到,伦敦在过去的一百年间发展迅速的原因是全国的很多公路和铁路都在这儿交汇,选项C是对该部分的同义转述,故为正确答案.

(3)

目的原因题.伦敦有很多重要的银行和公司,所以每年全世界都有成千上万的商人来到伦敦.选项B在材料中并未涉及,选项C不是商人来伦敦的理由.

(4)

时间数字题.短文的最后一句话提到伦敦机场“每分钟都有飞机起飞或降落”,由此可知伦敦机场一个小时内大约有60架飞机起飞或降落.因此正确答案为选项C.

Dear Cheng Wei,

I’m very glad to know that you will get a chance to study in London for a year. I’d like to tell you something about London so that you can have some ideas about it before you come.

                                       

                                       

                                       

                                       

                                       

                                       

                                       

                                       

                                       

                                      

                                           Looking forward to your coming.  

                                    Yours,

                                    Jack
