The White House is open to the public _____.
A

on weekdays only

B

five days a week

C

every other day

D

on weekends only

参考答案和解析
正确答案: B
解析:
根据题干短语“open to the public”定位在文章第四段“Tours are only conducted Tuesday through Saturday from 7:30 am to 11:30 am”。由此可知,参观开放时间是每周二至周六7:30到11:30,只有选项B一周五天符合题意。A项属于偷梁换柱,周一到周五虽然也是五天,但是不符合具体的开放时间;C项和D项与事实不符。

  • 第1题:

    If the 10% rule is applied, ______.

    [A]the best white high school students can get into colleges

    [B]public universities can get excellent students

    [C]students from poor rural families can go to colleges

    [D]good minority students can get into public universities


    正确答案:D

    本题考查事实细节。根据题干关键词the 10% rule定位到第四段。该段提到,该规则将使公立大学录取在高中毕业班排名前10%的学生。这种方法也使公立大学能招收到一般城市学校中名列前茅的少数民族学生。因此[D]正确。[A]和[B]本身表述并没有错,但都是泛泛而谈,没有具体提到“公立大学”或“少数民族学生”。[C]在文中根本没有涉及。

    第二篇

    The National Trust in Britain plays an increasingly important part in the preservation for public enjoyment of the best that is left unspoiled of the British countryside.Although the Trust has received practical and moral support from the Government,it is not rich Government department.It is a charity which depends for its existence on voluntary support from members of the public.
    The attention of the public was first drawn to the dangers threatening the great old houses and castles of Britain by the death of Lord Lothian,who left his great seventeenth-century house to the Trust together with the 4,500-acre park and estate surrounding it. This gift attracted wide publicity and started the Trust's"Country House Scheme".Under this scheme,with the help of the Government and the general public,the Trust has been able to save and open to the public about one hundred and fifty of these old houses.Last year about one and three quarters of a million people paid to visit these historic houses,usually at a very small charge.
    In addition to country houses and open spaces,the Trust now owns some examples of ancient wind and water mills,nature reserves,five hundred and forty farms and nearly two thousand five hundred cottages or small village houses,as well as some complete villages.In these villages no one is allowed to build,develop or disturb the old village environment in any way and all the houses are maintained in their original sixteenth-century style.Over four hundred thousand acres of coastline, woodland,and hill country are protected by the Trust and no development or disturbance of any kind are permitted.The public has free access to these areas and is only asked to respect the peace, beauty and wildlife.
    So it is that over the past eighty years the Trust has become a big important organization and an essential and respected part of national life,preserving all that is of great natural beauty and of historical significance not only for future generations of Britons but also for the millions of tourists who each year invade Britain in search of a great historical and cultural heritage.

    The "Country Houses Scheme" was started_________.
    A:with the founding of the National Trust
    B:as the first project of the National Trust
    C:after Lord Lothian's donation
    D:to protect Lord Lothian's house

    答案:C
    解析:
    事实细节题。从文章第一段最后一句可找到答案。选项A显然与原文意思相反,选项C和D则无原文依据。
    推理判断题。第二段第二句表明罗西亚勋爵捐赠了他的房产后,这个计划才启动起来,因此选项C正确,也由此可以否定选项A。根据第二段最后两句可知这个计划是为了保护具有历史价值的房子,而不仅仅是为了保护罗西亚勋爵的房子,因此选项D不对。
    事实细节题。最后一段从preserving开始的部分指出了本题的答案。第三段倒数第二句中的“…no development or disturbances of any kind are permitted.”可帮助排除选项A,选项C内容不完整,选项D中的限制词primarily使用不妥,无原文依据。
    词义推断题。由invade所在的文章最后一句“.for the millions of tourists who each year invade...”可知这是托管会保护自然美景和历史圣地的原因所在。从而可推断出invade强调来英国游玩的游客数量之多,因此选项C为正确答案。
    主旨大意题。综观全文可发现the National Trust和the Trust在文章开头以及文中反复出现。本文是一篇说明文,主要目的是介绍 the National Trust的机构性质及其功能,因此选项A正确。文章未讨论托管会的成员问题,因此选项B不正确。最后两段虽然提到英国的景色很美,但这并非文章的主要思想,因此选项C不对。本题最具干扰性的是选项 D,但是本文并不是一篇议论文,其目的不是让读者认同其中的观点,文章更多的是用说明性的语言来说明托管会的一些做法。

  • 第3题:

    Of all Barry H.Landau's anecdotes about his friendships with presidential dogs,perhaps the best is the one about the time the Clinton White House called to postpone his play-date with Buddy.
    Yes,Landau is both human and an adult,a 60-year-old author,presidential historian,former White House protocol officer and memorabilia collector.But so enamored is he of dogs,and so well connected to a succession of presidents,that he had an appointment for a South Lawn romp one day with Buddy,Bill Clinton's Labrador retriever(拉布拉多犬).
    Logistics got in the way,though,and hence Clinton secretary Betty Currie's apologetic voice mail left at the Smithsonian Institution,where Landau was doing research:"I'm sorry,but we'll have to reschedule Mr.Landau's play-date with Buddy."
    Not surprisingly,this is a happy week for Landau,with the new Obama family dog,Bo,joining a White House tradition that dates to George Washington.It's one that Landau feels is invaluable to a presidency.
    "Having a dog just humanizes a president,"he says."It completes the picture.It's something people can relate to."
    And Landau has related to the best of them.He's known about 25 White House dogs since the Eisenhower administration.Among the presidential-pooch memorabilia in his Manhattan apartment are matching orange inaugural dog coats worn by LBJ's twin beagles(小猎犬),Him and Her,and a photo of Landau kissing Clipper,JFK's German shepherd.

    Where does Landau live?

    A.Washington,DC
    B.Manhattan,New York City
    C.Baltimore,Maryland
    D.White House

    答案:B
    解析:
    最后一段。the presidential—pooch memorabilia总统家的小狗纪念品。在Landau的纽约曼哈顿的家里有很多总统狗的纪念品。

    A.with
    B.between
    C.during
    D.while

    答案:C
    解析:
    A选项意为“用、随着”,B选项意为“在……之间”,C选项意为“在……期间”,D选项意为“当……时”。题目意为“克拉克森图书馆将于5月3日至7月15日关闭修整,____将不会对公众开放。”因此选C,期间不会对公众开放。
      

  • 第5题:

    The policeman came up to the lonely house with the door __________,__________there for a while and then entered it.

    A.open; to stand
    B.opening; stooD.
    C.open; stood
    D.opened; standing

    答案:C
    解析:
    考查open的用法和非谓语动词。open本身有形容词词性,放排除B、D。第二个空和前面的came up和后面的entered是并列关系,所以用动词的过去时作谓语。故选C。

These self-guided tours are available from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday (excluding federal holidays), and are scheduled on a first come, first served basis approximately one month in advance of the requested date. We encourage you to submit your request as early as possible since a limited number of tours are available. All White House tours are free of charge. For the most current tour information, please call the 24-hour line at 202-456-7041. Please note that White House tours may be subject to last minute cancellation.  White House Visitor Center  All tours are significantly enhanced if visitors stop by the White House Visitor Center located at the southeast corner of 15th and E Streets, before or after their tour. The Center is open seven days a week from 7:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. and features many aspects of the White House, including its architecture, furnishings, first families, social events, and relations with the press and world leaders, as well as a thirty-minute video.

Changes in tour schedules are occasionally made because of official events. Notice may not be given until that morning.

Visitors should confirm tour schedules by calling the information line the night before and the morning that they plan to visit. It is occasionally necessary to close individual rooms on the tour; however, notice about closed rooms is not possible.
