    4．Big Ben is one of London's best-known landmarks，and looks most beautiful at night when the clock faces are lighted．The four dials（钟面）of the clock are 23 feet square．（50）EMinutely adjusted with coins placed on the huge pendulum（钟摆），Big Ben is an excellent timekeeper，which has rarely stopped．
        The name Big Ben actually refers not to the clock-tower itself，but to the thirteen ton bell hung within（51）G．This bell came from the old Palace of Westminster，which was given to the Dean of St．Paul's by William III．Before returning to Westminster，it was remade in White church in 1858（52）F．During the Second World War in 1941，bombs destroyed many buildings，but the clock tower remained as it had been（53）D．Its unique sound was broadcast to the nation and around the world，a welcome comfort of hope to all who heard it．
        There are even cells within the clock tower where Members of Parliament（议会）can be imprisoned for not obeying the law，though this is rare．The last recorded case was in 1880（54）B．However，those with a"special interest"may arrange a visit to the top of the Clock Tower．

    A．It is located by the River Thames．
    B．The tower is not open to the general public．
    C．Many people desire to get into Big Ben for a visit．
    D．Big Ben continued to keep time and strike away the hours．
    E．The minute hand is 14 feet long and the figures are 2 feet high．
    F．The BBC first broadcast the sound produced by it on the 31st December 1923．
    G．The bell was named after the first commissioner（委员）of works，Sir Benjamin Hall．

    分析 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了英国的大本钟的由来和经历了二战对人们的意义，给所有听到它的人们带来了希望的安慰．

    解答 50．E．推理判断题．根据前文The four dials（钟面）of the clock are 23 feet square可知它的分针是14英尺长，数字是2英尺高；故选E．
    51．G．推理判断题．根据前文The name Big Ben actually refers not to the clock-tower itself，but to the thirteen ton bell hung within可知讲它的名字由来，是Sir Benjamin Hall命名的；故选G．
    52．F．推理判断题．根据后文During the Second World War in 1941，bombs destroyed many buildings可知
    英国广播公司于1923年12月31日首次播放了它所产生的声音；故选F．
    53．D．推理判断题．根据前文but the clock tower remained as it had been可知钟塔仍然像过去一样继续保持响起和停止的声音；故选D．
    54．B．推理判断题．根据后文However，those with a"special interest"may arrange a visit to the top of the Clock Tower可知许多人渴望到大本钟参观；故选B．

    点评 考察学生的推理判断能力和联系上下文的能力，在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．此类的填空题一定要联系上下文，根据上下文的内容加上自己的理解，再作出正确的判断．

    15．How to keep fit？
    If you want to keep fit，please refer to the following：
    1．Move More
    Make it a rule to find ways to move your body．（36）B Climb stairs instead of taking the elevator．Walk your dog，play with your kids．It doesn't have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute dance class．But that's great when you're up to it．At the same time，move more．
    2．Quit Smoking
    Ever since 1960when it was announced that smoking was harmful to health，Americans have been reducing their use of tobacco products．Just recently，we've seen more and more teens smoking．Could it be the Hollywood influence？（37）E Take care!Warn your children against smoking．
    （38）A   
    While recent studies show a glass of wine or one drink a day can help protect against heart disease，more than that can cause other health problems such as liver and kidney （肝肾） disease and cancer．
    3．Reduce Stress
    Easier said than done，stress comes in many ways．（39）GSpend 30minutes a day doing something you like such as walking on the beach or in a park，read a good book，visit a friend，listen to relaxing music，and watch a funny movie．
    4．Protect Yourself From Pollution
    If you can't live in a smog-free environment，at least avoid smoke-filled rooms，（40）D．Exercise indoors in air conditioning when air quality is good．

    A．Avoid Excessive Drinking
    B．There are many things you can do to move your arms and legs．
    C．Think carefully about what you will do．
    D．Exercise outside when the smog rating is low．
    E．It seems that the stars in every movie smoke cigarettes．
    F．Keep a Positive Mental Outlook．

    12．Keeping healthy
    （66）D      
    Habit is something we do very often．We do not think when we are doing it．We can have good habits or bad habits．This passage gives some advice on how to be healthy．It tells you what you must do if you want to be healthy．It also tells you what you must not do．It talks about good habits and bad habits．
    （67）A
    "Early to bed，early to rise，makes a man healthy，wealthy and wise．"This is an old English saying．Have you heard of it before？It means that we must go to bed early and get up early in the morning．If we do，we shall be healthy．We shall also be rich（wealthy）and clever（wise）．
    （68）C
    Is this true？Perhaps it is．The body must have enough sleep．Children need ten hours'sleep every night．If you do not go to bed early，you cannot have enough sleep．Then you cannot think properly and you cannot do your work properly．You will not be wise and you may not become wealthy！
    （69）B
    Some people go to bed late at night and get up late in the morning．This is not good for them．We must sleep at night when it is dark．The darkness helps us to sleep properly．When the daylight comes，we must get up．This is the time for exercise．Exercise means doing things with the body．Walking，running，jumping，swimming and playing games are all exercise．If the body is not used，it becomes weak．Exercise keeps it strong．
    （70）F
    Exercise helps the blood to move around inside the body．This is very important．Blood takes food to all parts of our bodies．The brains in our heads also need blood．We think with our brains．If we keep our bodies healthy，and take exercise，we can think better！

    A．Using a proverb to tell us how to keep healthy
    B．Getting up early----one best way to keep healthy
    C．The importance of sleeping
    D．Introduction to keeping healthy
    E．The importance of the blood in our body
    F．The benefit of exercises．

    19．
    A．Be well-organized．
    B．Close with a Q & A．
    C．Don't be contradictory．
    D．Bring it to a specific end．
    E．Speak slowly and pause．
    F．Drop unnecessary words．
    Speaking to a group can be difficult，but listening to a bad speech is truly a tiresome task-especially when the speaker is confusing．Don't want to confuse your audience？Follow these suggestions：
    76．E
    When it comes to understanding new information，the human brain needs a little time．First，we hear the words； then，we compare the new information to what we already know．If the two are different，we need to pause and think．But a breathless speaker never stops to let us think about what he or she is saying and risks confusing us．Slow it．
    77．C
    Sometimes we all start a sentence one way and then switch directions，which is very difficult to follow．When you confuse your listeners with opposing information，you leave the audience wondering what part of the information is right and what part they should remember．Instead of relying and keeping correcting yourself，work to get the facts clear and straight．
    78．A
    Jumping from point to point as it comes to your mind puts the onus （责任）on your listeners to make up for your lack of organization．And it's confusing for them to listen，reorganize，and figure out what you're saying all at once．But going smoothly from one point to the next helps them understand information more easily．You can arrange things from beginning to end，small to large，top to bottom or by some other order．Just be sure to organize．
    79．F
    Repeated use of um，ah，like，you know and some other useless noises can drive an audience crazy．It makes the speaker sound uncertain and unprepared，and it can leave listeners so annoyed that they can't pay attention．Recently I attended a speech that was marked by so many ums that audience members were rolling their eyes．Was anybody grasping the intended message？Um，probably not．
    80．D
    Many speakers finish up their speeches with question-and-answer （Q & A） sessions，but some let the Q & A go on without a clear end．The audience is often left confused about whether the meeting is over and when they can get up and leave．Do your listeners a favour by setting a time limit on questions，and close your speech with a specific signal-even if it's something simple like，"If you have any more questions，you know where to reach me．"Or even more to the point，conclude your speech with"Thanks for your time．"

    14．I can well remember that I was once asked to deliver a speech titled A Real Test in My Life before the whole class at the age of 9!You can imagine how（71）terribly （terrible） shy I was the moment I thought of that---with so many eyes（72）fixed（fix） upon me．I had no（73）choice （choose） but to prepare for it，though．First of all，I was to draft the speech，which was just a piece of cake for me，a good writer．But the hardest part （74）lay （lie） in my oral presentation from my memory，for to read from the paper was not allowed．The real moment began （75）when I stood on the platform with my legs trembling and my mind blank．But my （76）listeners（listen） were waiting patiently without any signs of rushing me．Gradually I found myself back，giving out my speech with difficulty．After what seemed to be a hundred years，I found my audience applauding---I made （77）it！From then on，my fear of talking before a big audience （78）disappeared （appear）．Actually with my confidence building up，I now turn out to be a great speaker．Looking back，I know the greatest difficulty on our way （79）tosuccess is our fear．Overcome it，（80）andwe will be able to achieve our goals．
