5．Buckingham Palace has a history that dates back over 500 years and has changed hands on numerous occasions，however，much of the building that remains standing today is from the original structure built in the early 1700's．
In the beginning Buckingham Palace was originally known as Buckingham House．However，in 1762 George III liked the house so much that he bought it for 28，000 and renamed it"The Queen's House"．The reason for this was down to the fact that he bought the house to give to his wife Charlotte．Shortly after he did this，work soon began in order to remodel the house with the help of Sir William Chambers．This trend then continued with the accession of George IV i n 1820 when he decided to reconstruct the house but he still used it for the same purpose that his father did．
One of the biggest physical changes to the house occurred several years later when the king ha d a change of mind．It was in 1826 that King George IV set about transforming the house into what it is known today，Buckingham Palace．He did this with the help of an architect known as John Nash．
The work that Nash carried out involved doubling the size of the main block through adding a new suite of rooms on the garden side facing the west．He then faced this with mellow Bath stone，which reflected the French neo-classical influence favored by George IV．Many of the rooms that Nash added still remain pretty much unchanged today．
The palace as it stands today acts as not only the London residence of Her Majesty the Queen but also the administrative headquarters of the Royal Household．It is in fact one of the few working royal palaces that remain in the world today．The state rooms are extensively used by the Queen as well as members of the royal family as a way of receiving and entertaining guests on state，ceremonial and official occasions．

解答 33．A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文中句子George IV i n 1820 when he decided to reconstruct the house but he still used it for the same purpose that his father did．重新裝修的原因和他父親一樣．"．The reason for this was down to the fact that he bought the house to give to his wife Charlotte買下房子重新裝修是送給妻子的．重裝的目的也是取悅于他的妻子．所以答案選A．
34．C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第三段：One of the biggest physical changes to the house occurred several years later when the king ha d a change of mind．It was in 1826 可以看出這個房子發(fā)生的最大變化是在1826年．所以答案選C．
35．D 段落大意題．根據(jù)最后一段第一句The palace as it stands today acts as not only the London residence of Her Majesty the Queen but also the administrative headquarters of the Royal Household．今天的宮殿不僅充當(dāng)女王陛下的倫敦官邸，而且是王室的行政總部．可知文章最后一段說得是Buckingham Palace 今天的用處．所以答案選D．

14．（36）EYou probably think you will never be a top student．This is not necessarily so．However，anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to．Here is how：
Plan your time carefully．When planning your work，you should make a list of things that you have to do．After making this list．you should make a schedule of your time．First your time for eating，sleeping，dressing，etc．Then decide a good，regular time for studying．（37）CA weekly schedule may not solve all your problems，but it will force you realize what is happening to your time．
Find a good place to study．Look around the house for a good study area．Keep this space，which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room，free of eeverything but study materials．No games，radios，or television．When you sit down to study，concentrate on the subject．
Make good use of your time in class．（38）DListening carefully in class means less work later．Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says．
Study regularly．When you get home from school，go over your notes，review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day，read that material．（39）A If you do these things regularly，the material will become more meaningful，and you'll remember it longer．
Develop a good attitude towards tests．The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject．They help you remember your new knowledge．The world won't end if you don't pass a test，so don't be over worried．
（40）F You will probably discover many others after you have tried these．

A．This will help you understand the next class．
B．No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard．
C．Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment．
D．Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says．
E．Maybe you are an average student．
F．There are other methods that might help you with your studying．
G．Make full use of class time to take notes of what the teacher says in class．

15．There was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic．At present，we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution，the problem is actually worldwide．On several occasions over the past decade，a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic．
In fact，the very climate of the entire earth may be affected by air pollution．Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels （coal and oil） is creating a"greenhouse effect"-hold in heat reflected from the earth and raising the world's average temperature．If this view is correct and the world's temperature is raised only a few degrees，much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York，Boston，Miami，and New Orleans will be in water．
Another view，less widely held，is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth's temperature-a result that would be equally disastrous．A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age，and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas．
Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen （though one recent government report concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible）．Perhaps，if we are lucky enough，the two tendencies will offset （相互抵消） each other and the world's temperature will stay about the same as it is now．Driven by economic profits，people pay less attention to the damage on our environment caused by the"advanced civilization"．Maybe the air pollution is the price the human beings have to pay for their development．But is it really worthwhile？
32．As pointed out at the beginning of the passage，people used to think that air pollutionC．
A．had a damaging effect on health
B．caused widespread damage in the countryside
C．existed only in urban and industries areas
D．a(chǎn)ffected the entire eastern half of the United States
33．As to the greenhouse effect，the authorA．
A．is uncertain of its cause                                 
B．refuses to admit as a problem
C．shares the same view with the scientist      
D．thinks that it will destroy the world soon
34．It can be concluded thatD．
A．temperature almost hasn't changed over the past decade．
B．the world's temperature will remain the same in the years to come．
C．raising the world's temperature only a few degrees would not do much harm to life on earth．
D．lowering the world's temperature only a few degrees would lead to disaster to farming．
35．This passage is mainly aboutC．
A．the greenhouse effect                                            
B．the burning of fossil fuels
C．the possible effect of air pollution                         
D．the likelihood of a new ice age．
