BBLondons newest skyscraper (摩天大楼) is called the Shard and it cost about 430 million pounds to build. At a he
8、ight of almost 310 metres, it is the tallest building in Europe. The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London. However, not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano. When he began designing the Shard for London
9、, Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire (尖顶). He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city. The sides of the building arent regular. So the building has an unusual shape. It looks like a very thin, sharp piece of broken glass. And that is how the building got the
10、 name: the Shard. Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition. The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts (桅杆) of the ships that were once on the river Thames.The Shard has 87 floors. At the top, there is an observatory. At th
11、e moment the building is empty, but eventually there will be a five-star hotel. There will also be top quality restaurants, apartments and offices.Before building work began, a lot of people didnt want the Shard though the plans were approved. Now they are still unhappy about the Shard. Some critics
12、 say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York, but not in London. They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape. But that is the only thing. There is no decoration, only flat surfaces. The Egyptians did that 4,500 years ago. They also think the Shard is too
13、 big for London. It destroys the beauty of the city.Other critics dont like what the Shard seems to represent. They say that the Shard shows how London is becoming more unequal. Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel. But the people who live ne
14、ar the Shard are among the poorest in London. So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor.The Shard now dominates the London skyline. It is not certain, however, that ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city.4. Lond
15、ons newest skyscraper is called the Shard because of _.A. its cost B. its sizeC. its height D. its shape5.

Which would be the best title for the passage?A. The Shard: Work of a Great ArchitectB. The Shard: New Symbol of London?C. The Shard: A C
17、hange for the Better?D. The Shard: Cheers and Claps【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. C【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了伦敦新建的名为“the Shard”的摩天大楼以及人们对这所大楼的不同看法。4. 细节理解题。由第二段中的“It looks like a very thin, sharp piece of broken glass. And that is how the building got the name: the Shard”可知，因为它的外形，这所摩天大楼才被称作“the Shard”。故 D 选项正确。5. 细节
18、理解题。由第二段中的“Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition ”可知，Piano 希望摩天大楼成为伦敦传统的一部分，故 C 选项正确。6. 细节理解题。由第五段中的“Other critics dont like what the Shard seems to representOnly very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel”可知，批
19、评者不喜欢摩天大楼的代表意义，只有富人才买的起大楼里昂贵的私人公寓。故在他们看来，这幢大楼就是为那些有钱人建造的。故 B 选项正确。7. 标题归纳题。第一段中的“The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London. However, not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.”点明文章中心：摩天大楼地建造完全改变了伦敦的外貌。但是，并不是所有的人都认为这种变化是好的。下文就人们对摩天大楼不同看法进行了介绍。故 C 选项最适合做标题。【名师点睛】对于标题归纳题，主旨
20、大意题，主要是学会找出文章的中心句。例如 4 小题:题干 Which would be the best title for the passage?意思是：文章最好的主题是哪一个?思维链接：文章的标题就是文章的中心句。就该文来说，文章的中心句就是第一段的最后一句话“However, not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better”。所以 The Shard: A Change for the Better?就是文章的标题。C(Q = Question; A = Answer)Situation IQ: If someone sit

24、3) Put on earphones and ignore him.Situation IVQ: If I remember my friends birthday a day late, should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing happened?A: This is the reason why the word belated was invented. “Happy belated birthday!“ is short for: “Well, I know I forgot, but then
25、 I remembered. Forgive me and happy birthday.“Situation VQ: Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy to respond(回复) to it?A: Dont lie. Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it. Why waste a perfectly good lie when the truth will serve? “Yes,“ you can say if ever as

29、ss your annoyance”可知，在戏院如果一个人坐的离你太近，你会生气的。故 B 选项切题。9. 细节理解题。由 Situation III 中的“1) Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down”(可以盯着一个人，直到他意识到这一点然后安静下来。)可知，A 项的方法可以让人安静下来。10. 词义猜测题。由 Situation IV 中的“If I remember my friends birthday a day late, should I apologize or just wish her a happy b
30、irthday like nothing happened”可知，如果朋友生日过去了才想起，再说生日快乐，那么，你的祝愿是迟到的祝愿，不是朋友生日当天送出的祝愿。在这种情况下，发明了“belated”这个词。故该词的意思应该接近“延误的”，故选 C。11. 主旨大意题。文章以问答的方式就一些现代生活中常见的礼貌问题做了解答，故 B 项正确。DAs has been all too apparent in recent days at Balcombe, few issues cause greater concern than energy policy.
