HERE are many different Londons, and they appeal to people with many different passions: museum
lovers, theatergoers, opera buffs (爱好者, 迷；热心人), devotees of royalty, students of history, people who like to walk in the rain.But richest of all, perhaps, is the London for book lovers.
Because the city is the star and the backdrop of so much great literature, it is possible to believe you
know it very well-how it looks, how it feels-without ever leaving your home country, or indeed your
home.But it is better to visit, if only for the joy of seeing the landscape of your imagination come to life.
How breathtaking to happen upon Pudding Lane, where a bakery accident led to the Great Fire of 1666, after reading Pepys" account in his diaries.Or to wander along Baker Street, where Sherlock Holmes
once fictionally solved the unsolvable.Walk across London Bridge and gaze down, toward Southwark
Bridge: this is the stretch of the Thames where Dickens"s sinister characters dredged up corpses in "Our
Mutual Friend."
The city is not so foggy as it was in 1952, when Margery Allingham published "The Tiger in the
Smoke, " or as socially stratified as it when Marianne Dashwood waited in "Sense and Sensibility" for a
suitor who never called；or as greedy as it was in the thrusting 1980s of Martin Amis" "Money." But it is
all of those Londons, an accrual of different descriptions and eras.It is a city made for description-reread
the first passages of "Bleak House, " also on the subject of fog, for a moody introduction-and one that so
respects its authors that it buried a number of the best ones in style, in Westminster Abbey.
There are plenty of organized literarythemed tours around the city, easily found on the Internet.Or you
can wander characteristically on your own, which is more fun.If you take the Tube or the bus, make sure
to carry a book.

C．London Bridge is next to Baker Street.
D．"Our Mutual Friend" is one of Dickens"s works.
3．Who is Sherlock Holmes?

It has been difficult to sit on the bench the majority of my high school basketball career,to watch my
team from the sideline and 1 why I am not good enough to be on the floor. 2 endless hours of work
and devotion, pushing myself through drill after drill, the 3 thing I want is to be a cheerleader. The
feeling of being 4 is sometimes too much and drives me to 5 on the spot. I often feel as though my
efforts are wasted and my time is eaten away, devoted to 6 .
It is heartbreaking to be a spectator(旁观者) for the game I love,knowing that no one has enough

Away from the game, it"s easier to put my thoughts together, 10 letting my emotions drive my
reasoning. I consider 11 I am where I am. I have played football my whole life. I have a passion for

rolling off my cheeks, even the bruises(青肿) are battle wounds worn 14 after every game.
Even if I don"t play much, I participate in every 15 . I am part of a team of girls who 16 together
like a family. I am there for them, 17 they are for me.
Should I move on? Or should I stay with my team and pursue my passion just a little longer?
The decision isn"t difficult when I consider the 18 that being a part of a team brings me -and not just
any team, 19 my team. I love basketball and my teammates. When I think about that, my view from the
bench really isn"t so bad 20 . |

D. all in all | | 阅读理解 | Like most big projects, learning to manage your mother well is what you should do. Here are what I
believe the best steps towards a better relationship with her. They are not necessarily surprising or
revolutionary, but they have worked for many people. Try them.
Remember your mother"s age. As children, we often do not think of our mother as having an age.
Even when we become conscious of her as an individual, age does not change our view; she is still our
mother. Knowing our mother"s age, not just in numbers of years but in terms of her psychological and
physical state, often helps us to understand her better.
Listen to your mother. I have found that sometimes the things my mother told me long ago are
remarkably useful. If your mother knows that you respect her point of view, even if you do not share it,
it will help her feel close to you.
Remember that your mother has a past. A key step in managing our relationship with our mother is to
find out about her early life.In learning about our mother"s past, we know that it can encourage us to think
about her whole life.
Ask your mother about your childhood history. My grandparents died when I was young. If you are
fortunate enough to have living family, think of your life as a jigsaw puzzle and ask as many questions as
you can to put the picture together. Understanding your roots and your childhood can help you know
more clearly who you are, as part of a family which you share with your mother.
Remember that managing your mother is really about managing yourself. Taking any measure to
managing our mother is the issue of how we manage ourselves. No matter how difficult we find her, it is
important to remember that it is not her behavior itself that is causing us discomfort, but the way we feel
about her behavior. We should follow the way of her life. At the heart of managing your mother is being
able to accept your flawed self. Only then are you able to accept your mother-with all her failings.
1.What does the underlined phrase "a jigsaw puzzle" mean?
A. 拼图玩具
B. 浏览迷宫
C. 填充字谜
D. 游戏人生
2.Which of the following is implied but not stated in the passage?
A.You will have a better relationship with your mother if you respect her opinion.
B. Knowing your mother"s age is a useful piece of advice.
C. The key measure of managing our mother is how we manage ourselves.
D. It is unreasonable to expect our mother to change totally from the way she was brought up.
3. The main purpose of writing the text is _______.
A. to give information about how you think of your mother
B. to improve the relationship with your mother
C. to keep a sense of humor about your mother all day long
D. to accept your mother-----with all her failings | 最新试题
