The National Trust
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 a rich government department.It is a voluntary association of people who care for the unspoiled countryside and historic buildings of Britain.It is a charity which depends for its existence on voluntary support from members of the public.Its primary duty is to protect places of great natural beauty and places of historical interest.
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'5 "Country House Scheme".Under this scheme,with the help of the Government and the general public,the Trust has been able to save and make accessible to the public about 150 of these old houses.Last year,about 1.75 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,540 farms and nearly 2,500 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 16th century style.Over 4,000 acres of coastline,woodland, and hill country are protected by the Trust and no development or disturbances of any kind are permitted.The public has free access to these areas and is only asked to respect the peace,beauty and wildlife.
Over the past 80 years the Trust has become a big and important organization and an essential and respected part of national life.It helps to preserve 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 historic and cultural heritage.

The National Trust is a________
A:government agency depending on voluntary service
B:non-profit organization depending on voluntary service
C:government department but is not rich
D:private organization supported by the government

2.The National Trust in Britain, together with similar voluntary (自愿的) organizations, plays an increasingly important part in the preservation for pubic enjoyment of the best that is left unspoiled of the British countryside.Although the Trust has received practical and moral supported by public taxes.It is a voluntary association of people who care for the unspoiled countryside and the ancient sites and historic buildings of Britain and who seek to preserve them for the permanent enjoyment of the public.It is a charity which depends for its existence on voluntary support from members in England, Wales and Northern Ireland who pay a small subscription each year, and its primary duty is to protect for the nation places of great natural beauty and places of historical interest and preserve them from the dangers of modern development and extinction.The attention of the public was first drawn to the dangers threatening the great old houses and castles of Britain by the late Lord Lothian, who in 1935 said that, as a result of taxation and estate duties, most of these ancient and historic houses were under sentence of death.When Lord Lothian died he left his great seventeenth-century house, Blickling Hall, and all its contents to the Trust together with the 4,5000-acre park and estate surrounding it.This gift attracted wide publicity and Blicking Hall started the Trust's "Country House Scheme".Under this scheme (计划,方案), with the cooperation of the Government and thanks to the generosity of the general public, the Trust has been able to save and make accessible to the public about one hundred and fifty of these old houses, together with their often very valuable contents.Wherever possible the Trust seeks to maintain continuity and to preserve these houses as living entities (实体) rather than as dead museums.It is the view of the Trust that the families who gave them to the nation and whose ancestors created them make the best possible curators (监护人).Last year about one and three quarters of a million people paid to visit these historic houses which are open to the general public, 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, gardens, Roman antiquities, five hundred and forty farms and nearly two thousand five hundred cottages or small village houses, as well as some complete villages like Chiddingstone in Kent, in the southeast of England.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, open downland and hill country are protected by the Trust and no development, modern buildings or disturbances 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 and 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 historic and cultural heritage.1、"… most of these ancient and historic houses were under sentence of death" means().A、the historic houses would die because no one was interested in them any moreB、the historic houses would crumble and decay through lack of money to keep them in good repairC、the government said that it could not spend the money to save the old historic housesD、the owners of historic houses would not keep them in good repair2、The "Country House Scheme" started().A、with the founding of the National TrustB、in order to raise money for the National TrustC、with the gift of Blickling Hall and its estateD、as a result of public interest3、The best people to look after these houses were considered to be ().A、the ancestors who created themB、the members of the National TrustC、the general publicD、the families who gave them to the nation4、Land protected by the National Trust().A、can be developed and modernizedB、includes coastline, woodland, downland and hill countryC、consists of nature reservesD、is primarily for tourists to Britain5、The word "invade" is used to emphasize().A、that the British do not like touristsB、that only a few tourists come to BritainC、the great number of tourists who come to BritainD、that Britain is attacked by hoards of tourists

    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 word "invade" in the last paragraph is used to emphasize that________.
    A:the British do not like tourists
    B:tourists to Britain are friendly
    C:tourists come to Britain in large numbers
    D:Britain is attacked by masses of tourists

    答案:C

    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。

    The National Park Service

    America's national parks are like old friends.You may not see them for years at a time,
    but just knowing they're out there makes you feel better.Hearing the names of these
    famous old friends一Yosemite,Yellowstone,Grand Canyon一revives memories of visits
    past and promotes dreams of those still to come.
    From Acadia to Zion,369 national parks are part of a continually evolving system.
    Ancient fossil(化石的)beds, Revolutionary War battlefields, magnificent mountain
    ranges,and monuments to heroic men and women who molded this country are all a part of
    our National Park System(N.P.S.).The care and preservation for future generations of
    these special places is entrusted(托管)to the National Park Service.Uniformed Rangers,
    the most visible representatives of the Service,not only offer park visitors a friendly wave,
    a helpful answer,or a thought-provoking history lesson,but also are skilled rescuers,
    firefighters , and dedicated resource protection professionals(专业人员).The National
    Park Service ranks also include architects,historians,archaeologists,biologists,and a
    host of other experts who preserve and protect everything from George Washington's teeth
    to Thomas Edison's wax recordings.
    Modern society has brought the National Park Service both massive challenges and
    enormous opportunities.Satellite and computer technologies are expanding the educational
    possibilities of a national park beyond its physical boundaries.Cities struggling to revive
    their urban cores are turning to the Park Service for expert assistance to preserve their
    cultural heritage,create pocket parks and green spaces,and re-energize local economies.
    Growing communities thirsty for recreational outlets are also working with the NPS to turn
    abandoned railroad tracks into bike and hiking trails,as well as giving unused federal
    property new life as recreation centers.
    To help meet these challenges and take advantage of these opportunities,the National
    Park Service has formed partnerships一some dating back 1 00 years,some only months
    old一with other agencies,state and local governments,corporations,American Indian
    tribes and Alaska Natives,Park Friends groups,cooperating associations,private
    organizations and community groups.

    What will the paragraph following this passage most probably discuss?
    A:The pocket parks in America.
    B:The training of rangers.
    C:The work that has been done by the partners.
    D:The preservation of natural resources in America.

    答案:C

    In addition to country houses and open spaces,the Trust now owns some examples of ancient wind and water mills,nature reserves,540 farms and nearly 2,500 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 16th century style.Over 4,000 acres of coastline,woodland, and hill country are protected by the Trust and no development or disturbances of any kind are permitted.The public has free access to these areas and is only asked to respect the peace,beauty and wildlife.

    All the following can be inferred from the passage EXCEPT_______.
    A:the Trust is more interested in protecting the 16th century houses
    B:many people came to visit the historic houses saved by the Trust
    C:visitors can get free access to some places owned by the Trust
    D:the Trust has a history which is longer than 80 years

    答案:A
    解析:
    本文主要讲述了英国非盈利性组织Trust(国家托管委员会)对英国未遭破坏的乡村和历乡上著名建筑的保护,使人们能够通过参观和游览这些地方领略英国的历史和文化传统。
    由文章第一段第三句和第四句话“It is a voluntary association of people...It is a charity which depends for its existence on voluntary support from members of the public.”可知,Trust是英国的非盈利性组织……它是-个慈善机构,靠公众自愿支持它才得以生存。故选B。
    由文章第-段第-句、第三句和最后-句话可知,Trust的主要职责是保护英国保存完好的乡村遗迹和具有历史意义的建筑。故选D。
    由文章第二段Lord Lothian 去世后,把他名下的17世纪的房子、城堡、公园以及周围的庄园捐献给Trust,此事大大地吸引了公众的注意力,同时使Trust开始实行“乡村房屋计划”,可以推测出Lord Lothian 在他所生活的时代具有-定的影响力。故选D。
    由文章第二段最后-句话可知选项B说法正确,由文章第三段最后-句话可知选项C说法正确,由文章最后一段第-句话可知选项D说法正确。从文章中无法推断Trust在保护16世纪的房子方面更感兴趣。故选A。
    由文章最后-段中“…but also for the millions of tourists who each year invade Britain in search of a great historic and cultural heritage.”可知,每年涌入英国的数百万游客能领略到英国的历史和文化传统。"invade”在这里是“涌入”的意思。故选C。

    Local Newspapers in Britain
    1. Britain has a large circulation(发行量)of the national newspapers. The Daily Mirror and The Daily Express both sell about 4 million copies each day.On average,every family will buy one newspaper in the morning,and take two or three on Sundays.
    2. Local newspapers are just as popular as the national ones in Britain.Local papers have a weekly circulation of 1 3 million.Nearly every town and country area has its own paper,and almost every local paper is financially holding its own.Many local newspapers are earning good profits.
    3. Local newspapers have their special characteristics.They mainly satisfy interest in local events-births,weddings,deaths,council meetings,and sports.Editors often rely on a small staff of people who know the district well.Clubs and churches in the neighborhood regularly supply these papers with much local news.Local news does not get out of date as quickly as national news .If there is no room for it in this week's edition,a news item can be held over until the following week.
    4. The editor of a local newspaper never forgets that the success of any newspaper depends on advertising.For this reason,he is keen to keep the good will of local businessmen.If the newspaper sells well with carefully chosen news items to attract local readers,the businessmen will be grateful to the paper for the opportunity of keeping their products in the public eye.
    5. Local newspapers seldom comment on problems of national importance,and editors rarely take sides on political questions.But they can often provide service to the community in expressing public feeling on local issues.A newspaper can sometimes persuade the council to take action to improve transport,provide better shopping facilities,and preserve local monuments and places of interest.

Although the Trust has received practical and moral support from the Government, it is not a rich government department. It is a voluntary association of people who care for the unspoiled countryside and historic buildings of Britain. It is a charity which depends for its existence on voluntary support from members of the public. Its primary duty is to protect places of great natural beauty and places of historical interest. The attention of the public was the first drawn to the dangers threatening the great old houses and the castles of Britain by the death of the Lord Lothian, who left his great seventeenth-century house to the Trust together with the 4500-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 make accessible to the public about 150 of these oil houses. Lats year, about 1.75 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, 540 farms and nearly 2500 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 16th century style. Over 4,000 acres of coastline , woodland, and hill country are protected by the Trust and no development or disturbances of any kind are permitted. The public has free access to these areas and is only asked to respect the peace, beauty and wildlife. Over the past 80 years the Trust has become a big and important organization and an essential and respected part of national life. It helps to preserve all that 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 historic and cultural heritage. All the following can be inferred from the passage EXCEPT______.
    A

    The Trust is more interested in protecting the 16th century houses.

    B

    Many people came to visit the historic houses saved by the Trust.

    C

    Visitors can get free access to some places owned by the Trust.

    D

    The Trust has a story which is longer than 80 years.


    正确答案: A
    解析: 译文:下列说法可以从本文推断出来,除了______.
    The Trust is more interested in protecting the 16th century houses. 选项A中提到关键信息16th century houses.十六世纪的房子,意思是:国家信托对于保护16世纪的房子更感兴趣。通过关键信息,我们在原文中看到:all the houses are maintained in their original 16th century style,所有的房子都保持着十六世纪的原貌。
    因此选A,无法从原文中推导出这样的结论。

    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 main purpose of this passage is to__________.
    A:inform the readers about the National Trust
    B:promote the National Trust' membership
    C:make people aware of the nature beauty of Britain
    D:let the general public share the views of the National Trust

    答案:A
    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。

    Local Newspapers in Britain
    1. Britain has a large circulation(发行量)of the national newspapers. The Daily Mirror and The Daily Express both sell about 4 million copies each day.On average,every family will buy one newspaper in the morning,and take two or three on Sundays.
    2. Local newspapers are just as popular as the national ones in Britain.Local papers have a weekly circulation of 1 3 million.Nearly every town and country area has its own paper,and almost every local paper is financially holding its own.Many local newspapers are earning good profits.
    3. Local newspapers have their special characteristics.They mainly satisfy interest in local events-births,weddings,deaths,council meetings,and sports.Editors often rely on a small staff of people who know the district well.Clubs and churches in the neighborhood regularly supply these papers with much local news.Local news does not get out of date as quickly as national news .If there is no room for it in this week's edition,a news item can be held over until the following week.
    4. The editor of a local newspaper never forgets that the success of any newspaper depends on advertising.For this reason,he is keen to keep the good will of local businessmen.If the newspaper sells well with carefully chosen news items to attract local readers,the businessmen will be grateful to the paper for the opportunity of keeping their products in the public eye.
    5. Local newspapers seldom comment on problems of national importance,and editors rarely take sides on political questions.But they can often provide service to the community in expressing public feeling on local issues.A newspaper can sometimes persuade the council to take action to improve transport,provide better shopping facilities,and preserve local monuments and places of interest.

  • 第19题:

    Income Income may be national income and personal income. Whereas national income is defined as the total earned income of all the factors of production-namely, profits, interest, rent, wages, and other compensation for labor, personal income may be defined as total money income received by individuals before personal taxes are paid. National income does not equal GNP (Gross National Product) because the factors of production do not receive payment for either capital consumption allowances or indirect business taxes, both of which are included in GNP. The money put aside for capital consumption is for replacement and thus is not counted as income. Indirect taxes include sales taxes, property taxes , and excise taxes that are paid by businesses directly to the government and so reduce the income left to pay for the factors of production. Three-fourths of national income goes for wages, salaries, and other forms of compensation to employees. Whereas national income shows the income that the factors of production earn, personal income measures the income that individuals or households receive. Corporation profits are included in national income because they are earned. Out of these profits, however, corporation profit taxes must be paid to the government, and some money must be put into the business for expansion. Only that part of profits distributed as dividends goes to the individual; therefore, out of corporation profits only dividends count as personal income. The factors of production earn money for social security and unemployment insurance contributions, but this money goes to government (which is not a factor of production), not to individuals. It is therefore part of national income but not part of personal income. On the other hand, money received by individuals when they collect social security or unemployment compensation is not money earned but money received. Interest received on government bonds is also in this category, because much of the money received from the sale of bonds went to pay for war production and that production no longer furnishes a service to the economy. The money people receive as personal income may be either spent or saved. However, not all spending is completely voluntary. A significant portion of our income goes to pay personal taxes. Most workers never receive the money they pay in personal taxes, because it is withheld from their paychecks. The money that individuals are left with after they have met their tax obligations is disposable personal income. Disposable income can be divided between personal consumption expenditures and personal savings. It is important to remember that personal saving is what is left after spending. This passage is mainly about()

    • A、the difference between national income and GNP
    • B、the difference between national income and personal income
    • C、the concept of income
    • D、the difference between disposable income and nondisposable income

    Practice 9  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 a rich government department. It is a voluntary association of people who care for the unspoiled countryside and historic buildings of Britain. It is a charity which depends for its existence on voluntary support from members of the public. Its primary duty is to protect places of great natural beauty and places of historical interest.  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 4500 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 make accessible to the public about 150 of these old houses. Last year, about 1.75 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, 540 farms and nearly 2500 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 16th century style. Over4000 acres of coastline, woodland, and hill country are protected by the Trust and no development or disturbances of any kind are permitted. The public has free access to these areas and is only asked to respect the peace, beauty and wildlife.  Over the past 80 years the Trust has become a big and important organization and an essential and respected part of national life. It helps to preserve 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 historic and cultural heritage.

    在英国,国家信托管委会在保护英国农村未被破坏的大众景点的作用越来越重要了。尽管信托管委会收到了政府的实际支持和道义支持,但它在政府部门中并不富有。这是一个志愿者组织,由那些关心英国未破坏的乡村和历史建筑的人们组成。它是一个慈善组织,它的存活与否取决于大众的支持。它最基本的职责是保护美丽的自然景观和名胜古迹。
    公众首先注意到的是英国的古老房屋和城堡,它们因为洛锡安勋爵的去世而面临威胁。勋爵把他这所十七世纪的古建筑给了信托管委会,连带它周围4500英亩的公园和地产。这个礼物引起了广泛关注并且建立了信托管委会“乡村别墅方案”。在此方案下,加上政府和群众的帮助,信托管委会得以保护并向大众开放大约150座这种老房子。去年,有七十五万人付费参观这些有历史气息的老房子,门票价格很低。
    加上郊区住宅和开放空间,信托管委会现在拥有了古代风水的样本,自然保护区,540个农场,还有差不多2500座村舍和小别墅。在这些山村里不能用任何方式修建,改造或是妨碍古老的山村环境,所有的房子都保持着原本十六世纪的风格。信托管委会保护着超过40万英亩的海岸、林地和丘陵,不允许任何形式的发展和破坏。公众可以免费去这些地方参观,只要他们能尊重这个地方的自然景观和野生动植物。
    因此,自从八十年代以来,信托管委会已经成为了一个重大而庞大的组织,是国民生活中重要而值得尊敬的一部分。保留自然之美和历史建筑不仅对英国下一代,对那些每年来英国寻找伟大的历史和文化遗产的游客们也有着重大的意义。

    阅读理解:请根据短文内容,为每题确定l个最佳选项。 The National Trust。 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 a rich government department. It is a voluntary association of people who care for the unspoiled countryside and historic buildings of Britain. It is a charity which depends for its existence on voluntary support from members of the public. Its primary duty is to protect places of great natural beauty and places of historical interest. The attention of the public was the first drawn to the dangers threatening the great old houses and the castles of Britain by the death of the Lord Lothian, who left his great seventeenth-century house to the Trust together with the 4500-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 make accessible to the public about 150 of these oil houses. Last year, about 1.75 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, 540 farms and nearly 2500 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 16th century style. Over 4,000 acres of coastline , woodland, and hill country are protected by the Trust and no development or disturbances of any kind are permitted. The public has free access to these areas and is only asked to respect the peace, beauty and wildlife. Over the past 80 years the Trust has become a big and important organization and an essential and respected part of national life. It helps to preserve all that 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 historic and cultural heritage. The National Trust is dedicated to______.()
    A

    Preserving the best public enjoyment.

    B

    Providing the public with free access to historic buildings.

    C

    Offering better services to visitors home and abroad.

    D

    Protecting the unspoiled countryside and historic buildings.


    正确答案: D
    解析: 译文:国家信托投身于________.
    按照行文顺序向下,可以找到原文It is a voluntary association of people who care for the unspoiled countryside and historic buildings of Britain. 国家信托是热心保护未被污染的乡村和历史建筑的志愿者组织。
    原文中这句话的本质意思是,国家信托投身于保护乡村和历史建筑的事业。因此只有D选项Protecting the unspoiled countryside and historic buildings.是最为符合原文的意思的。

The word “invade” in Paragraph 4 is closet in meaning to______.
    A

    Come in without permission.

    B

    Enter with invitation.

    C

    Visit in large numbers.

    D

    Appear all of a sudden.


    正确答案: C
    解析: 译文:第4自然段中“invade”和下列哪个选项意思最为相近?
    本题不是单纯的考查近义词,而要通过上下文来考查词汇的意思,通过查字典无法直接找到,必须要根据文章的情境来进行判断。
    It helps to preserve all that 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 historic and cultural heritage.
    原文的意思是:国家信托不仅仅是为英国的下一代人保护具有历史意义上的建筑,而且也是为每年数以百万计的来英国寻找历史文化的游客而进行保护。显然根据上下文,invade无法直接翻译成侵略,Come in without permission.这一选项是迷惑选项,而文中的意思是指数以百万计来英国观光旅游的游客,因此Visit in large numbers.是最为符合的。
