The
best
London
hotels
near
Oxford
Street
An
expert
guide
to
the
top
London
hotels
near
Oxford
Street—eight
minutes'
walk
or
less—
including
the
best
hotels
for
their
family-friendly
services
and
budget
accommodation.
The
London
EDITION
Soho,
London,
England
This
place
is
just
off
Oxford
Street
in
leafy
Fitzrovia.
It
will
suit
those
who
want
more
than
a
bed
for
the
night.
The
multi-functional
lobby
makes
a
great
entrance,
though
it's
the
restored
ceiling,
old
not
new,
that
really
grabs
the
attention.
The
picture-
lined
restaurant
is
an
equally
successful
space.
The
rooms
are
a
bit
like
being
inside
a
luxurious
cigar
box,
with
their
wood-panelled
walls
and
artful
fur
sofa
covers
that
add
a
feeling
of
warmth.
The
Langham,
London
Marylebone,
London,
England
An
advert
from
the
late
19th
century
declares
that
the
Langham
is
situated
in
the
"most
healthy,
convenient
and
fashionable
position
in
London.
"
Today
this
still
holds
true;
the
hotel
is
right
in
the
centre
of
London.
This
is
one
of
London's
oldest
grand
hotels.
Everything
feels
as
if
it
has
been
running
the
way
it
should
for
a
long
time.
Expect
enormous
vases
of
fresh
flowers
in
public
areas,
oriental
furnishings
and
marble
baths
in
the
rooms.
This
is
also
home
to
Michel
Roux
Jr's
Roux,
which
does
tasty
French
cuisine.
The
Grazing
Goat
Marylebone,
London,
England
The
hotel
is
located
on
New
Quebec
Street,
a
quiet
road
lined
with
clothing
shops
and
beauty
salons
about
three
minutes'
walk
from
Oxford
Street.
There's
something
of
a
village
feel
to
this
area
of
London
that
is
difficult
to
correspond
with
the
tourist
groups
moments
away—but
it's
most
welcome.
Rooms
have
Egyptian
cotton
beds,
Aesop
toilets
and
walls
in
the
color
of
moss
green
and
steel
blue.
The
food
menu
offers
seasonal
British
foods
with
the
latest
trendy
ingredients.

luxurious
cigar
box

The
Grazing
Goat.
D.
All
the
above.
B
Air
pollution
may
be
causing
baldness,
scientists
have
shown
for
the
first
time.
A
new
study
found
that
fine
particulate
matter
emitted
by
cars
would
damage
the
skin
that
holds
hair
follicles(毛囊)
in
place.
A
series
of
laboratory
tests
on
human
cells
showed
that
levels
of
the
crucial
proteins
needed
for
hair
to
grow
and
be
retained
decreased
when
they
were
exposed
to
pollution
particles.
While
there
is
a
growing
body
of
evidence
showing
how
these
tiny
particles
can
damage
internal
health,
including
by
entering
the
bloodstream
through
the
lungs,
this
is
the
first
to
demonstrate
such
a
risk
to
the
surface
of
the
body.
The
study
was
conducted
by
exposing
cells
from
the
human
follicle
dermal
papilla
cells
(HFDPCs)
to
various
concentrations
of
PM10-like
dust
and
diesel
particles.
After
24
hours
the
researchers
performed
a
process,
known
as
western
blotting,
to
detect
the
levels
of
specific
proteins
in
the
cells.
The
results
showed
that
the
presence
of
PM10
and
diesel
particles
decreased
levels
of
B-catenin,
the
protein
responsible
for
hair
growth.
The
study
also
revealed
that
the
levels
of
three
other
proteins---cyclin
D1,
cyclin
E
and
CDK2,
which
are
responsible
for
hair
growth
and
hair
retention,
were
decreased
by
PM10-like
dust
and
diesel
particles
in
a
“dose-dependent”
manner.
Dr
Hyuk
Chul
Kwon,
who
led
the
study
at
the
Future
Science
Research
Centre,
said,
“While
the
link
between
air
pollution
and
serious
diseases
such
as
cancer
and
lung
diseases
is
well
established,
there
is
little-to-no
research
on
the
effect
of
particulate
matter
exposure
on
the
human
skin
and
hair
in
particular.
Our
research
explains
the
mode
of
action
of
air
pollutants
on
HFDPCs,
showing
how
the
most
common
air
pollutants
lead
to
hair
loss.”
Sources
of
PM
include
the
burning
of
fossil
fuels---petrol
and
diesel,
as
well
as
other
solid
fuels,
and
other
industrial
activities
such
as
building,
mining
and
the
manufacturing
of
building
materials
like
bricks.
“While
it
is
difficult
to
escape
from
the
surrounding
pollution,
limiting
the
time
for
walking
in
busy
streets,
especially
during
rush
hours,
should
help
reduce
exposure,”
said
Dr
Kwon.
“If
you
are
exercising
outdoors,
try
to
do
so
in
areas
that
are
less
polluted
and
do
not
spend
too
much
time
waiting
at
traffic
hot
spots
such
as
traffic
lights.”
24.
What
did
the
new
study
find?
A.
Air
pollution
can
do
great
harm
to
our
lungs.
B.
The
color
of
our
skin
can
be
influenced
by
air
pollution.
C.
Serious
air
pollution
can
probably
prevent
hair
from
growing.
D.
Air
pollution
can
affect
hair
growth
by
entering
the
bloodstream.
25.
What
is
western
blotting
used
to
do?
A.
To
discover
the
protein
helpful
for
hair
growth.
B.
To
show
the
protein
content
in
the
cells.
C.
To
compare
different
proteins
in
the
cells.
D.
To
analyze
the
composition
of
hair
cells.
26.
What
can
we
learn
from
Dr
Hyuk
Chul
Kwon’s
words?
A.
His
new
research
is
superior
to
previous
research.
B.
The
research
he
conducted
is
really
of
great
importance.
C
The
results
of
his
new
research
need
to
be
further
improved.
D.
A
link
between
air
pollution
and
diseases
needs
to
be
established.
C
A
recent
global
survey
of
2000
high-net-worth
individuals
found
that
60%
were
not
planning
on
a
traditional
retirement.
Among
US
participants,
75%
expected
to
continue
working
in
some
capacity
even
after
stepping
away
from
full-time
jobs.
“Many
of
these
people
made
their
wealth
by
doing
something
they’re
passionate(有激情的)
about.”
says
Daniel
Egan,
head
of
behavioral
finance
for
Barclays
Wealth
Americas.
“Given
the
choice,
they
prefer
to
continue
working.”
Barclays
calls
these
people
“nevertirees”.
Unlike
many
Americans
compelled
into
early
retirement
by
company
restrictions,
the
average
nevertiree
often
has
no
one
forcing
his
hand.
If
106-year-old
investor
Irving
Kahn,
head
of
his
own
family
firm,
wants
to
keep
coming
to
work
every
day.
Who’s
going
to
stop
him?
Seventy-eight-year-old
Supreme
Court
Justice
Ruth
Bader
Ginsburg’s
job
security
is
guaranteed
in
the
Constitution.
It
may
seem
that
these
elderly
people
are
trying
to
cheat
death.
In
fact,
they
are.
And
it’s
working.
Howard
Friedman,
a
professor
at
UC
Riverside,
found
in
his
research
that
those
who
work
hardest
and
are
successful
in
their
careers
often
live
the
longest
lives.
“People
are
generally
being
given
bad
advice
to
slow
down,
take
it
easy,
stop
worrying,
and
retire
to
Florida,”
he
says.
He
described
one
study
participant,
still
working
at
the
age
of
100,
who
was
recently
disappointed
to
see
his
son
retire.
“We’re
beginning
to
see
a
change
in
how
people
view
retirement,”says
George
Leeson,
co-director
of
the
Institute
of
Population
Ageing
at
Oxford.
Where
once
retirement
was
seen
as
a
brief
reward
after
a
long
struggle
through
some
miserable
job,
it
is
now
akin(近似)
to
being
cast
aside.
What
Leeson
terms
“the
Warren
Buffett
effect”
is
becoming
more
broadly
appealing
as
individuals
come
to
“view
retirement
as
not
simply
being
linked
to
economic
productivity
but
also
about
contribution.”
Observers
are
split
on
whether
this
is
a
wholly
good
thing.
On
the
one
hand,
companies
and
financial
firms
can
benefit
from
the
wisdom
of
a
resilient(坚韧的)chief.
On
the
other,
the
new
generation
can
find
it
more
difficult
to
advance
—
an
argument
that
typically
holds
little
sway
to
a
nevertiree.
27.
What
do
Irving
Kahn
and
Ruth
Bader
Ginsburg
have
in
common?
A.
Neither
of
them
is
subject
to
forced
retirement.
B.
Neither
of
them
desires
reward
for
their
work.
C.
Both
cling
to
their
positions
despite
opposition.
D.
Both
are
capable
of
coping
with
heavy
workloads.
28.
What
is
the
finding
of
Howard
Friedman’s
research?
A.
The
harder
you
work,
the
bigger
your
fortune
will
be.
B.
The
earlier
you
retire,
the
healthier
you
will
be.
C
Elderly
people
have
to
slow
down
to
live
longer.
D.
Working
at
an
advanced
age
lengthens
people’s
life.
29.
What
is
the
traditional
view
of
retirement
according
to
the
passage?
A.
It
means
a
burden
to
the
younger
generation.
B.
It
is
a
symbol
of
a
mature
and
civilized
society.
C.
It
is
a
compensation
for
one’s
life-long
hard
work.
D.
It
helps
increase
a
nation’s
economic
productivity.
30.
What
do
critics
say
about
“nevertirees”?
A.
They
are
an
obstacle
to
a
company’s
development.
B
They
lack
the
creativity
of
the
younger
generation.
C.
They
cannot
work
as
efficiently
as
they
used
to.
D.
They
prevent
young
people
from
getting
ahead.
D
“WHAT
IS
CIVILIZATION?”
asked
Kenneth
Clark
50
years
ago
in
the
BBC
series
on
the
subject.
“I
don’t
know,
and
I
can’t
define
it
in
abstract
terms,
yet.
But
I
think
I
can
recognize
it
when
I
see
it,
and
I’m
looking
at
it
now.”
And
he
turned
to
gesture
behind
him,
at
the
soaring
Gothic
towers
and
flying
buttresses
of
Notre
Dame(巴黎圣母院).
It
seems
inhuman
to
care
more
about
a
building
than
about
people.
That
the
sight
of
Notre
Dame
going
up
in
flames
has
attracted
so
much
more
attention
than
floods
in
southern
Africa
which
killed
over
1,000
arouses
understandable
feelings
of
guilt.
Yet
the
widespread,
intense
grief
at
the
sight
of
the
cathedral’s
collapsing
tower
is
in
fact
profoundly
human—and
in
a
particularly
21st-century
way.
It
is
not
just
the
economy
that
is
global
today,
it
is
culture
too.
People
wander
the
world
in
search
not
just
of
jobs
and
security
but
also
of
beauty
and
history.
Familiarity
breeds
affection.
A
building
on
whose
sunny
steps
you
have
rested,
in
front
of
which
you
have
taken
a
photo
with
your
loved
one,
becomes
a
warm
part
of
your
memories
and
thus
of
yourself.
That
helps
explain
why
China
is
in
mourning—WeChat,
young
China’s
principal
means
of
talking
to
itself,
has
been
throbbing
with
the
story,
and
Xi
Jinping,
the
country’s
president,
sent
a
message
of
condolence
to
Emmanuel
Macron,
his
French
counterpart—while
India
was
largely
indifferent.
Tourism
from
India
to
the
West
is
a
trickle(细流)
compared
with
the
flood
from
China.
This
visual
age
has
endowed
beauty
with
new
power,
and
social
media
have
turned
great
works
of
art
into
superstars.
Only
a
few,
though,
have
achieved
this
status.
Just
as
there
is
only
ever
a
handful
of
world-famous
actors,
so
the
pantheon(万神殿)of
globally
recognizable
cultural
symbols
is
tiny:
the
Mona
Lisa,
Michelangelo’s
David,
the
Taj
Mahal,
the
Great
Pyramid—and
Notre
Dame.
Disaster,
too,
is
visual.
In
the
24
hours
after
the
fire
started
videos
on
social
media
of
the
burning
cathedral
were
viewed
nearly
a
quarter
of
a
billion
times.
Yet
the
emotions
the
sight
aroused
were
less
about
the
building
itself
than
about
what
losing
it
might
mean.
Notre
Dame
is
an
expression
of
humanity
at
its
collective
best.
Nobody
could
look
up
into
that
ceiling
without
wondering
at
the
genius
of
the
thousands
of
anonymous
craftsmen
who,
over
a
century
and
a
half,
realized
a
vision
so
grand
in
its
structural
ambition
and
so
delicate
in
its
detail.
Its
survival
through
850
years
of
political
turbulence—through
war,
revolution
and
Nazi
occupation—binds
the
present
to
the
past.
The
fire
also
binds
people
to
each
other.
The
outpouring
of
emotion
it
has
brought
forth
is
proof
that,
despite
the
dark
forces
of
division
now
abroad,
we
are
all
in
it
together.
When
nationalism
is
a
rising
threat,
shared
sadness
makes
borders
suddenly
irrelevant.
When
politics
is
polarized,
a
love
of
culture
has
the
power
to
unite.
When
extremism
divides
Muslim
from
Christian
and
religious
people
from
atheists,
those
of
all
faiths
and
none
are
mourning
together.
An
building
built
for
the
glory
of
God
also
represents
the
unity
of
the
human
spirit.
And
it
will
be
rebuilt.
The
morning
after
the
fire,
the
many
Parisians
who
went
to
the
cathedral
to
mourn
its
destruction
found
comfort
instead.
Although
the
spire
is
gone,
the
towers
are
still
standing
and
it
seems
likely
that
the
whole
building
can
be
reconstructed.
The
effort
to
rebuild
it,
like
the
fire,
will
bring
people
together.
Within
24
hours,
?600m
($677m)
had
been
raised
from
businesses
and
rich
people,
and
a
rash
of
crowd
funding
campaigns
started.
A
high-resolution
laser
scan
of
the
building,
carried
out
recently,
should
help.
It
will
never
be
the
same,
but
that
is
as
it
should
be.
As
Victor
Hugo
wrote
in
“The
Hunchback
of
Notre
Dame”,
a
three-volume
love-letter
to
the
cathedral:
“Great
buildings,
like
great
mountains,
are
the
work
of
centuries.
Art
is
often
transformed
as
it
is
being
made…Time
is
the
architect,
the
nation
is
the
builder.”
31.
The
underlined
word
“condolence”
in
Paragraph
3
means
__________.
A
sympathy
B.
compliment
C.
gratitude
D.
suspicion
32.
Why
was
India
largely
indifferent
to
the
big
fire
of
Notre
Dame?
A.
Because
Indians
care
more
about
jobs
and
security.
B.
Because
Indians
have
no
access
to
social
media
like
WeChat.
C.
Because
Indians
have
less
familiarity
with
Notre
Dame.
D.
Because
Indians
are
not
fond
of
travelling.
33.
What
can
we
learn
from
Paragraph
5?
A.
People’s
sadness
at
the
misfortune
mainly
lies
in
the
building
itself.
B.
People
wondered
who
contributed
to
such
an
artistic
achievement.
C.
Notre
Dame
is
a
witness
to
Nazi
invasion
and
French
revolution.
D.
Fortunately
we
are
blessed
with
countless
splendid
works
of
art.
34.
By
saying
“it
will
never
be
the
same”
in
the
last
paragraph,
the
writer
means
that
__________.
A.
the
high-resolution
laser
scan
of
the
building
helps
but
far
from
enough
B.
it’s
impossible
to
replicate
(复制)
it
for
lack
of
the
genius
of
craftsmen
C.
dark
forces,
nationalism
and
extremism
are
barriers
to
replicating
it
D.
time
has
changed
and
the
rebuilding
will
change
accordingly
35.
What
might
be
the
best
title
of
the
passage?
A.
What
is
civilization?
B.
Why
do
people
care
about
Notre

C.
What

D.
How
should

Muzak
The
next
time
you
go
into
a
bank,
a
store,
or
a
supermarket,
stop
and
listen.
What
do
you
hear?
____36____.
It's
similar
to
the
music
you
listen
to,
but
it's
not
exactly
the
same.
That's
because
this
music
was
especially
designed
to
relax
you,
or
to
give
you
extra
energy.
Sometimes
you
don't
even
realize
the
music
is
playing,
but
you
react
to
the
music
anyway.
Quiet
background
music
used
to
be
called
"elevator
(电梯)
music"
because
we
often
heard
it
in
elevators.
But
lately
we
hear
it
in
more
and
more
places,
and
it
has
a
new
name
"Muzak".
About
one-third
of
the
people
in
America
listen
to
"Muzak"
every
day.
The
music
plays
for
15
minutes
at
a
time,
with
short
pauses
in
between.
It
is
always
more
lively
between
ten
and
eleven
in
the
morning,
and
between
three
and
four
in
the
afternoon,
when
people
are
more
tired.
____37____.
If
you
listen
to
Muzak
carefully,
you
will
probably
recognize
the
names
of
many
of
the
songs.
Some
musicians
or
songwriters
don't
want
their
songs
to
be
used
as
Muzak,
but
others
are
happy
when
their
songs
are
chosen.
Why?
____38____.
Music
is
often
played
in
public
places
because
it
is
designed
to
make
people
feel
less
lonely
when
they
are
in
an
airport
or
a
hotel.
It
has
been
proven
that
Muzak
doeswhat
it
is
designed
to
do.
Tired
office
workers
suddenly
have
more
energy
when
they
hear
the
pleasant
sound
of
Muzak
in
the
background.
____39____.
Supermarket
shoppers
buy
38
percent
more
groceries.
___40___.
They
say
it's
boring
to
hear
the
same
songs
all
the
time.
But
other
people
enjoy
hearing
Muzak
in
public
places.
They
say
it
helps
them
relax
and
feel
calm.
One
way
or
another,
Muzak
affects
everyone.
Some
farmers
even
say
their
cows
give
more
milk
when
they
hear
Muzak!
A.
Some
people
don't
like
Muzak.
B.
The
music
gives
them
extra
energy.
C.
Music
is
playing
in
the
background.
D.
Factory
workers
produce
13
percent
more.
E.
Muzak
tends
to
help
people
understand
music
better.
F.
They
get
as
much
as
$4
million
a
year
if
their
songs
are
used.
G.
Muzak
is
played
in
most
of
the
big
supermarkets
in
the

the

I

We

If

fully
____54____

The

at

homes
are
now
beautiful
green
blankets.
The

of
color
come
from
well-
placed,

couldn’t.

Ali
and
his
younger
sister,
Zahra,
lived
with
their
parents
in
a
poor
neighborhood.
Their
mother
was
very
sick
and
their
father
was
struggling
to
find
a
job,
and
they
had
only
a
little
money
with
which
to
buy
food.
As
they
had
not
paid
the
rent
for
several
months,
the
landlord
was
breathing
down
their
necks.
One
day,
Ali
took
Zahra’s
shoes
to
a
shoe
repairman
to
be
fixed,
but
he
lost
them
on
the
way
home.
It
wasn’t
until
he
got
home
that
he
realized
he
had
lost
the
shoes.
He
was
afraid
that
his
parents
would
be
angry
and
disappointed,
so
he
begged
his
sister
to
keep
it
secret.
Zahra
agreed
and
the
two
decided
to
share
Ali’s
running
shoes.
Zahra’s
school
hours
were
in
the
morning,
so
she
would
wear
them
first.
After
school,
she
would
rush
back
and
give
them
to
Ali.
He
could
then
run
to
his
school,
which
began
in
the
afternoon.
Although
he
ran
as
fast
as
he
could,
Ali
often
arrived
late
and
was
warned
by
the
school.
Ali
heard
about
a
long
distance
race
that
was
held
for
the
boys
in
the
city.
When
he
learned
that
the
third
prize
was
a
new
pair
of
shoes,
he
decided
to
take
part.
He
ran
home
excitedly
and
promised
his
sister
that
he
would
win
her
the
new
shoes.
The
day
of
race
arrived.
Ali
had
a
strong
start,
but
halfway
through
the
race
he
began
to
get
tired
and
his
legs
began
to
ache.
Getting
more
and
more
exhausted
he
thought
only
of
Zahra
and
his
promise
to
her.
Dreaming
of
the
new
shoes
he
would
win
for
his
sister
gave
him
strength,
and
he
stayed
right
behind
the
two
fastest
runners,
determined
to
finish
third.
Suddenly,
as
the
finish
line
drew
near,
another
runner
collided
(碰撞)
with
Ali
from
behind
and
he
crashed
to
the
ground.

don’t
do
it.
There

some
more
activities
on
the

I
noticed
they
won’t
be
available

Then
there
were
a
few
pages
from
our

complete.
That
can
wait,
though.

Okay,
thanks,
I’ll
get

before
it’s
taken
down.
I’ll
leave
the

I’ve
caught

Well,
I
think
they
were
much
better
than
the
ones
we
saw
yesterday.
What
do
you
think
of
the
house
in
Eccles?
M:
Well,
I
think
it
was
OK-and
it
was
the
least
expensive
place
in
this
area.
W:
Yes.
That
was
true.
M:
The
wooden
floors
were
lovely,
and
it
had
a
new
kitchen.
Also,
it
seemed
slightly
bigger
than
our
house.
W:
No.
I
think
it
was
the
same
size
as
ours.
It
just
seemed
bigger
because
it
had
no
furniture.
M:
Yeah.
maybe.
W:
Anyway,
I
preferred
the
house
in
Monton,
because
it
was
built
in
a
traditional
style.
But
it
was
on
a
very
busy
road.
It
was
much
noisier
than
the
other
two.

I

M:
Oh,

I’ll
show
you

As
you

The

like
that
night

M:
The
cupboard
on

is
big
so
you
have
lots

space.
W:
That’s

I’ve

Could
I
move

W:
About

You

W:
Fine.
I

And
the

M:
OK.

What’s
on?
M:
I’ve
got
the
paper
here.
I’ll
have
a
look.
There’s
a
circus
from
Moscow.
I
love
the
circus,
especially
the

W:
I
don’t

the
clowns
very
amusing.
I

then.
What
about
this-The

It’s
a
musical-I
read
a

It’s

M:
Alright.
There

For
example,
they’re
showing
an

black

white

Do

【解析】
【原文】Mia
is
a
carbon
copy
of
her
sister
Ella,
and
people
can
hardly
tell
them
apart.
They
specialize
in
different
fields.
Mia
has
a
good
comprehensive
quality.
She
majored
in
electricity
at
college
and
successfully
entered
a
famous
American
technology
company
after
graduation.
Because
of
her
outstanding
achievements
plus
her
exceptional
capacity,
soon
she
was
promoted
to
a
senior
management
position
in
the
company.
Now
she
is
one
of
the
company’s
core
decision
makers.
Ella
is
four
years
older
than
Mia.
Ella
adored
seeing
movies
as
a
child
and
she
became
a
director
when
she
grew
up.
A
decade
ago,
my
communication
with
her
reminded
her
of
the
subject
of
law.
So
she
decided
to
shoot
a
TV
series
featuring
a
fair
and
honest
judge.
Before
the
shoot,
not
only
did
she
carefully
learn
about
the
law,
but
also
she
sought
professional
legal
advice.
The
series
is
scheduled
for
release
in
August
this
year.
Despite
the
tough
times
in
the
film
and
television
industry
in
recent
years,
the
series,
which
is
professional
as
well
as
interesting,
will
surely
bring
huge
economic
and
social
effects
to
Ella.
Mia
and
Ella
have
succeeded
in
their
respective
careers,
and
they
are
the
pride
of
their
parents.

Street
An
expert
guide
to
the
top
London
hotels
near
Oxford
Street—eight
minutes'
walk
or
less—
including
the
best
hotels
for
their
family-friendly
services
and
budget
accommodation.
The
London
EDITION
Soho,
London,
England
This
place
is
just
off
Oxford
Street
in
leafy
Fitzrovia.
It
will
suit
those
who
want
more
than
a
bed
for
the
night.
The
multi-functional
lobby
makes
a
great
entrance,
though
it's
the
restored
ceiling,
old
not
new,
that
really
grabs
the
attention.
The
picture-
lined
restaurant
is
an
equally
successful
space.
The
rooms
are
a
bit
like
being
inside
a
luxurious
cigar
box,
with
their
wood-panelled
walls
and
artful
fur
sofa
covers
that
add
a
feeling
of
warmth.
The
Langham,
London
Marylebone,
London,
England
An
advert
from
the
late
19th
century
declares
that
the
Langham
is
situated
in
the
"most
healthy,
convenient
and
fashionable
position
in
London.
"
Today
this
still
holds
true;
the
hotel
is
right
in
the
centre
of
London.
This
is
one
of
London's
oldest
grand
hotels.
Everything
feels
as
if
it
has
been
running
the
way
it
should
for
a
long
time.
Expect
enormous
vases
of
fresh
flowers
in
public
areas,
oriental
furnishings
and
marble
baths
in
the
rooms.
This
is
also
home
to
Michel
Roux
Jr's
Roux,
which
does
tasty
French
cuisine.
The
Grazing
Goat
Marylebone,
London,
England
The
hotel
is
located
on
New
Quebec
Street,
a
quiet
road
lined
with
clothing
shops
and
beauty
salons
about
three
minutes'
walk
from
Oxford
Street.
There's
something
of
a
village
feel
to
this
area
of
London
that
is
difficult
to
correspond
with
the
tourist
groups
moments
away—but
it's
most
welcome.
Rooms
have
Egyptian
cotton
beds,
Aesop
toilets
and
walls
in
the
color
of
moss
green
and
steel
blue.
The
food
menu
offers
seasonal
British
foods
with
the
latest
trendy
ingredients.

细节理解题。根据The
London
EDITION部分中The
multi-functional
lobby
makes
a
great
entrance,
though
it's
the
restored
ceiling,
old
not
new,
that
really
grabs
the
attention.可知多功能大厅是一个很好的入口,不过,真正吸引人们注意的是修复后的天花板(旧的而不是新的)。由此可知,在The
London
EDITION,顾客最有可能被修复的天花板所吸引。故选B。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据The
Langham,
London部分中Marylebone,
London,
England(英国伦敦,Marylebone)以及The
Grazing
Goat部分中Marylebone,
London,
England(英国伦敦,Marylebone)可知,The
Langham,London
和The
Grazing
Goat的共同之处是他们位于伦敦的Marylebone。故选D。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中There's
something
of
a

feel
to
this
area
of
London
that
is
difficult
to
correspond
with
the
tourist
groups

Grazing
Goat酒店能给客人一种置身于乡村的感觉。故选C。
B
Air
pollution
may
be
causing
baldness,
scientists
have
shown
for
the
first
time.
A
new
study
found
that
fine
particulate
matter
emitted
by
cars
would
damage
the
skin
that
holds
hair
follicles(毛囊)
in
place.
A
series
of
laboratory
tests
on
human
cells
showed
that
levels
of
the
crucial
proteins
needed
for
hair
to
grow
and
be
retained
decreased
when
they
were
exposed
to
pollution
particles.
While
there
is
a
growing
body
of
evidence
showing
how
these
tiny
particles
can
damage
internal
health,
including
by
entering
the
bloodstream
through
the
lungs,
this
is
the
first
to
demonstrate
such
a
risk
to
the
surface
of
the
body.
The
study
was
conducted
by
exposing
cells
from
the
human
follicle
dermal
papilla
cells
(HFDPCs)
to
various
concentrations
of
PM10-like
dust
and
diesel
particles.
After
24
hours
the
researchers
performed
a
process,
known
as
western
blotting,
to
detect
the
levels
of
specific
proteins
in
the
cells.
The
results
showed
that
the
presence
of
PM10
and
diesel
particles
decreased
levels
of
B-catenin,
the
protein
responsible
for
hair
growth.
The
study
also
revealed
that
the
levels
of
three
other
proteins---cyclin
D1,
cyclin
E
and
CDK2,
which
are
responsible
for
hair
growth
and
hair
retention,
were
decreased
by
PM10-like
dust
and
diesel
particles
in
a
“dose-dependent”
manner.
Dr
Hyuk
Chul
Kwon,
who
led
the
study
at
the
Future
Science
Research
Centre,
said,
“While
the
link
between
air
pollution
and
serious
diseases
such
as
cancer
and
lung
diseases
is
well
established,
there
is
little-to-no
research
on
the
effect
of
particulate
matter
exposure
on
the
human
skin
and
hair
in
particular.
Our
research
explains
the
mode
of
action
of
air
pollutants
on
HFDPCs,
showing
how
the
most
common
air
pollutants
lead
to
hair
loss.”
Sources
of
PM
include
the
burning
of
fossil
fuels---petrol
and
diesel,
as
well
as
other
solid
fuels,
and
other
industrial
activities
such
as
building,
mining
and
the
manufacturing
of
building
materials
like
bricks.
“While
it
is
difficult
to
escape
from
the
surrounding
pollution,
limiting
the
time
for
walking
in
busy
streets,
especially
during
rush
hours,
should
help
reduce
exposure,”
said
Dr
Kwon.
“If
you
are
exercising
outdoors,
try
to
do
so
in
areas
that
are
less
polluted
and
do
not
spend
too
much
time
waiting
at
traffic
hot
spots
such
as
traffic
lights.”
24.
What
did
the
new
study
find?
A.
Air
pollution
can
do
great
harm
to
our
lungs.
B.
The
color
of
our
skin
can
be
influenced
by
air
pollution.
C.
Serious
air
pollution
can
probably
prevent
hair
from
growing.
D.
Air
pollution
can
affect
hair
growth
by
entering
the
bloodstream.
25.
What
is
western
blotting
used
to
do?
A.
To
discover
the
protein
helpful
for
hair
growth.
B.
To
show
the
protein
content
in
the
cells.
C.
To
compare
different
proteins
in
the
cells.
D.
To
analyze
the
composition
of
hair
cells.
26.
What
can
we
learn
from
Dr
Hyuk
Chul
Kwon’s
words?
A.
His
new
research
is
superior
to
previous
research.
B.
The
research
he
conducted
is
really
of
great
importance.
C.
The
results
of
his
new
research
need
to
be
further
improved.
D.
A
link
between
air
pollution
and
diseases
needs
to
be
established.
【答案】24.

C
A
recent
global
survey
of
2000
high-net-worth
individuals
found
that
60%
were
not
planning
on
a
traditional
retirement.
Among
US
participants,
75%
expected
to
continue
working
in
some
capacity
even
after
stepping
away
from
full-time
jobs.
“Many
of
these
people
made
their
wealth
by
doing
something
they’re
passionate(有激情的)
about.”
says
Daniel
Egan,
head
of
behavioral
finance
for
Barclays
Wealth
Americas.
“Given
the
choice,
they
prefer
to
continue
working.”
Barclays
calls
these
people
“nevertirees”.
Unlike
many
Americans
compelled
into
early
retirement
by
company
restrictions,
the
average
nevertiree
often
has
no
one
forcing
his
hand.
If
106-year-old
investor
Irving
Kahn,
head
of
his
own
family
firm,
wants
to
keep
coming
to
work
every
day.
Who’s
going
to
stop
him?
Seventy-eight-year-old
Supreme
Court
Justice
Ruth
Bader
Ginsburg’s
job
security
is
guaranteed
in
the
Constitution.
It
may
seem
that
these
elderly
people
are
trying
to
cheat
death.
In
fact,
they
are.
And
it’s
working.
Howard
Friedman,
a
professor
at
UC
Riverside,
found
in
his
research
that
those
who
work
hardest
and
are
successful
in
their
careers
often
live
the
longest
lives.
“People
are
generally
being
given
bad
advice
to
slow
down,
take
it
easy,
stop
worrying,
and
retire
to
Florida,”
he
says.
He
described
one
study
participant,
still
working
at
the
age
of
100,
who
was
recently
disappointed
to
see
his
son
retire.
“We’re
beginning
to
see
a
change
in
how
people
view
retirement,”says
George
Leeson,
co-director
of
the
Institute
of
Population
Ageing
at
Oxford.
Where
once
retirement
was
seen
as
a
brief
reward
after
a
long
struggle
through
some
miserable
job,
it
is
now
akin(近似)
to
being
cast
aside.
What
Leeson
terms
“the
Warren
Buffett
effect”
is
becoming
more
broadly
appealing
as
individuals
come
to
“view
retirement
as
not
simply
being
linked
to
economic
productivity
but
also
about
contribution.”
Observers
are
split
on
whether
this
is
a
wholly
good
thing.
On
the
one
hand,
companies
and
financial
firms
can
benefit
from
the
wisdom
of
a
resilient(坚韧的)chief.
On
the
other,
the
new
generation
can
find
it
more
difficult
to
advance
—
an
argument
that
typically
holds
little
sway
to
a
nevertiree.
27.
What
do
Irving
Kahn
and
Ruth
Bader
Ginsburg
have
in
common?
A.
Neither
of
them
is
subject
to
forced
retirement.
B.
Neither
of
them
desires
reward
for
their
work.
C.
Both
cling
to
their
positions
despite
opposition.
D.
Both

capable
of
coping

heavy
workloads.
28.
What
is
the
finding
of
Howard
Friedman’s
research?
A.
The
harder
you
work,
the
bigger
your
fortune
will
be.
B.
The
earlier
you
retire,
the
healthier
you
will
be.
C.
Elderly
people
have
to
slow
down
to
live
longer.
D.
Working
at
an
advanced
age
lengthens
people’s
life.
29.
What
is
the
traditional
view
of
retirement
according
to
the
passage?
A.
It
means
a
burden
to
the
younger
generation.
B.
It
is
a
symbol
of
a
mature
and
civilized
society.
C.
It
is
a
compensation
for
one’s
life-long
hard
work.
D.
It
helps
increase
a
nation’s
economic
productivity.
30.
What
do
critics
say
about
“nevertirees”?
A.
They
are
an
obstacle
to
a
company’s
development.
B.
They
lack
the
creativity
of
the
younger
generation.
C.

“WHAT
IS
CIVILIZATION?”
asked
Kenneth
Clark
50
years
ago
in
the
BBC
series
on
the
subject.
“I
don’t
know,
and
I
can’t
define
it
in
abstract
terms,
yet.
But
I
think
I
can
recognize
it
when
I
see
it,
and
I’m
looking
at
it
now.”
And
he
turned
to
gesture
behind
him,
at
the
soaring
Gothic
towers
and
flying
buttresses
of
Notre
Dame(巴黎圣母院).
It
seems
inhuman
to
care
more
about
a
building
than
about
people.
That
the
sight
of
Notre
Dame
going
up
in
flames
has
attracted
so
much
more
attention
than
floods
in
southern
Africa
which
killed
over
1,000
arouses
understandable
feelings
of
guilt.
Yet
the
widespread,
intense
grief
at
the
sight
of
the
cathedral’s
collapsing
tower
is
in
fact
profoundly
human—and
in
a
particularly
21st-century
way.
It
is
not
just
the
economy
that
is
global
today,
it
is
culture
too.
People
wander
the
world
in
search
not
just
of
jobs
and
security
but
also
of
beauty
and
history.
Familiarity
breeds
affection.
A
building
on
whose
sunny
steps
you
have
rested,
in
front
of
which
you
have
taken
a
photo
with
your
loved
one,
becomes
a
warm
part
of
your
memories
and
thus
of
yourself.
That
helps
explain
why
China
is
in
mourning—WeChat,
young
China’s
principal
means
of
talking
to
itself,
has
been
throbbing
with
the
story,
and
Xi
Jinping,
the
country’s
president,
sent
a
message
of
condolence
to
Emmanuel
Macron,
his
French
counterpart—while
India
was
largely
indifferent.
Tourism
from
India
to
the
West
is
a
trickle(细流)
compared
with
the
flood
from
China.
This
visual
age
has
endowed
beauty
with
new
power,
and
social
media
have
turned
great
works
of
art
into
superstars.
Only
a
few,
though,
have
achieved
this
status.
Just
as
there
is
only
ever
a
handful
of
world-famous
actors,
so
the
pantheon(万神殿)of
globally
recognizable
cultural
symbols
is
tiny:
the
Mona
Lisa,
Michelangelo’s
David,
the
Taj
Mahal,
the
Great
Pyramid—and
Notre
Dame.
Disaster,
too,
is
visual.
In
the
24
hours
after
the
fire
started
videos
on
social
media
of
the
burning
cathedral
were
viewed
nearly
a
quarter
of
a
billion
times.
Yet
the
emotions
the
sight
aroused
were
less
about
the
building
itself
than
about
what
losing
it
might
mean.
Notre
Dame
is
an
expression
of
humanity
at
its
collective
best.
Nobody
could
look
up
into
that
ceiling
without
wondering
at
the
genius
of
the
thousands
of
anonymous
craftsmen
who,
over
a
century
and
a
half,
realized
a
vision
so
grand
in
its
structural
ambition
and
so
delicate
in
its
detail.
Its
survival
through
850
years
of
political
turbulence—through
war,
revolution
and
Nazi
occupation—binds
the
present
to
the
past.
The
fire
also
binds
people
to
each
other.
The
outpouring
of
emotion
it
has
brought
forth
is
proof
that,
despite
the
dark
forces
of
division
now
abroad,
we
are
all
in
it
together.
When
nationalism
is
a
rising
threat,
shared
sadness
makes
borders
suddenly
irrelevant.
When
politics
is
polarized,
a
love
of
culture
has
the
power
to
unite.
When
extremism
divides
Muslim
from
Christian
and
religious
people
from
atheists,
those
of
all
faiths
and
none
are
mourning
together.
An
building
built
for
the
glory
of
God
also
represents
the
unity
of
the
human
spirit.
And
it
will
be
rebuilt.
The
morning
after
the
fire,
the
many
Parisians
who
went
to
the
cathedral
to
mourn
its
destruction
found
comfort
instead.
Although
the
spire
is
gone,
the
towers
are
still
standing
and
it
seems
likely
that
the
whole
building
can
be
reconstructed.
The
effort
to
rebuild
it,
like
the
fire,
will
bring
people
together.
Within
24
hours,
?600m
($677m)
had
been
raised
from
businesses
and
rich
people,
and
a
rash
of
crowd
funding
campaigns
started.
A
high-resolution
laser
scan
of
the
building,
carried
out
recently,
should
help.
It
will
never
be
the
same,
but
that
is
as
it
should
be.
As
Victor
Hugo
wrote
in
“The
Hunchback
of
Notre
Dame”,
a
three-volume
love-letter
to
the
cathedral:
“Great
buildings,
like
great
mountains,
are
the
work
of
centuries.
Art
is
often
transformed
as
it
is
being
made…Time
is
the
architect,
the
nation
is
the
builder.”

The
underlined
word
“condolence”
in
Paragraph
3
means
__________.
A.
sympathy
B.
compliment
C.
gratitude
D.
suspicion
32.
Why
was
India
largely
indifferent
to
the
big
fire
of
Notre
Dame?
A.
Because
Indians
care
more
about
jobs
and
security.
B.
Because
Indians
have
no
access
to
social
media
like
WeChat.
C.
Because
Indians
have
less
familiarity
with
Notre
Dame.
D.
Because
Indians
are
not
fond
of
travelling.
33.
What
can
we
learn
from
Paragraph
5?
A.
People’s
sadness
at
the
misfortune
mainly
lies
in
the
building
itself.
B.
People
wondered
who
contributed
to
such
an
artistic
achievement.
C.
Notre
Dame
is
a
witness
to
Nazi
invasion
and
French
revolution.
D.
Fortunately
we
are
blessed
with
countless
splendid
works
of
art.
34.
By
saying
“it

never
be

in
the
last
paragraph,
the

means
that
__________.
A.

B.
it’s
impossible

Muzak
The
next
time
you
go
into
a
bank,
a
store,
or
a
supermarket,
stop
and
listen.
What
do
you
hear?
____36____.
It's
similar
to
the
music
you
listen
to,
but
it's
not
exactly
the
same.
That's
because
this
music
was
especially
designed
to
relax
you,
or
to
give
you
extra
energy.
Sometimes
you
don't
even
realize
the
music
is
playing,
but
you
react
to
the
music
anyway.
Quiet
background
music
used
to
be
called
"elevator
(电梯)
music"
because
we
often
heard
it
in
elevators.
But
lately
we
hear
it
in
more
and
more
places,
and
it
has
a
new
name
"Muzak".
About
one-third
of
the
people
in
America
listen
to
"Muzak"
every
day.
The
music
plays
for
15
minutes
at
a
time,
with
short
pauses
in
between.
It
is
always
more
lively
between
ten
and
eleven
in
the
morning,
and
between
three
and
four
in
the
afternoon,
when
people
are
more
tired.
____37____.
If
you
listen
to
Muzak
carefully,
you
will
probably
recognize
the
names
of
many
of
the
songs.
Some
musicians
or
songwriters
don't
want
their
songs
to
be
used
as
Muzak,
but
others
are
happy
when
their
songs
are
chosen.
Why?
____38____.
Music
is
often
played
in
public
places
because
it
is
designed
to
make
people
feel
less
lonely
when
they
are
in
an
airport
or
a
hotel.
It
has
been
proven
that
Muzak
doeswhat
it
is
designed
to
do.
Tired
office
workers
suddenly
have
more
energy
when
they
hear
the
pleasant
sound
of
Muzak
in
the
background.
____39____.
Supermarket
shoppers
buy
38
percent
more
groceries.
___40___.
They
say
it's
boring
to
hear
the
same
songs
all
the
time.
But
other
people
enjoy
hearing
Muzak
in
public
places.
They
say
it
helps
them
relax
and
feel
calm.
One
way
or
another,
Muzak
affects
everyone.
Some
farmers
even
say
their
cows
give
more
milk
when
they
hear
Muzak!
A.
Some
people
don't
like
Muzak.
B.
The
music
gives
them
extra
energy.
C.
Music
is

in
the
background.
D.

the
2018
award,是单数,与谓语动词delay是被动关系,且根据last
year可知动词应用过去时态。故填was

oneself
as确立了自己作为……的身份。故填as。

written。
【60题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:在过去的几十年里,他写了很多小说,比如《短信长别》,这是一位年轻的奥地利作家在美国各地旅行,寻找他的妻子。空格处引导非限制性定语从句,句中先行词为Short
Letter,
Long
Farewell,在非限制性定语从句中作地点状语,所以用关系副词where引导。故填where。

62题详解】

Ali
and
his
younger
sister,
Zahra,
lived
with
their
parents
in
a
poor
neighborhood.
Their
mother
was
very
sick
and
their
father
was
struggling
to
find
a
job,
and
they
had
only
a
little
money
with
which
to
buy
food.
As
they
had
not
paid
the
rent
for
several
months,
the
landlord
was
breathing
down
their
necks.
One
day,
Ali
took
Zahra’s
shoes
to
a
shoe
repairman
to
be
fixed,
but
he
lost
them
on
the
way
home.
It
wasn’t
until
he
got
home
that
he
realized
he
had
lost
the
shoes.
He
was
afraid
that
his
parents
would
be
angry
and
disappointed,
so
he
begged
his
sister
to
keep
it
secret.
Zahra
agreed
and
the
two
decided
to
share
Ali’s
running
shoes.
Zahra’s
school
hours
were
in
the
morning,
so
she
would
wear
them
first.
After
school,
she
would
rush
back
and
give
them
to
Ali.
He
could
then
run
to
his
school,
which
began
in
the
afternoon.
Although
he
ran
as
fast
as
he

【答案】Paragraph
1:
Ali
looked
up
and
saw
the
other
boys
rushing
ahead.Refusing
to
give
up
at
this
point,
he
jumped
to
his
feet
and
ran
as
fast
as
he
could.
He
dashed
across
the
finish
line
and
won
the
fourth
prize.
Thinking
he
would
let
her
sister
down,
Ali
couldn’t
help
sobbing.
Just
then
he
suddenly
heard
the
announcement
from
the
broadcast
that
he
won
the
third
prize
as
the
runner
who
collided
with
Ali
was
disqualified
for
breaking
the
rule.
Holding
the
shoes
close
to
his
chest
during
the
award
ceremony,
Ali
felt
overjoyed
and
relieved
as
he
eventually
won
the
shoes
for

with
delight,
Ali
walked
home
quickly.

not
wait
to
see
his
sister
and
share
the
thrilling
news.
On
his
arrival,
Ali
found
Zahra
was
waiting
outside.
She
was
really
nervous
whether
her
brother
had
brought
her
what
she
was
expecting.
“Zahra,
see
what
I
have
got
for
you.”
he
took
the
prize
out
of
his
bag
with
his
trembling
hands.
The
instant
Zahra
saw
the
shoes,
her
face
lit
up.
So
thrilled
was
she
that
she
threw
herself
at
Ali.
“Thank
you!
Ali.”
Tears
of
joy
welled
up
their
eyes
as
the
brother
and
sister
hugged
tightly
together.
【解析】
【分析】
本篇书面表达是读后续写。文章主要讲述Ali和他的妹妹Zahra生活在贫困的家庭里,他们共用Ali的跑鞋。因要拿到跑鞋后才能去学校,Ali经常晚到并且被学校警告。为了让妹妹能有一双新鞋,Ali决定参加长跑比赛,在比赛最后一刻,被另外一名赛跑者撞倒。
【详解】读后续写要求考生首先要读懂已有信息,不仅能读懂字面含义,还要理清文章的脉络。续篇这篇短文时,考生要搞清楚故事的发展进程、前因后果、地理位置、人物思想情感的变化等。在此基础上,考生要顺着文章的思路,根据线索,发挥想象,对其后的情节进行合理预测,并用语言表达出来,续写时注意词数应为150左右。
这篇短文续写部分分为两段,第一段开头是:Ali抬起头来看见其他男孩快速向前冲。由前一段的最后一句Ali本保持着第三名的状态,但是被另外一名赛跑者碰倒在地,以及后一段给出的段首句Ali带着开心快速地走回家可知,本段是赛跑比赛的一个转折点,接下来要详细写Ali如何处理和解决这个问题,使得Ali能够夺得第三名,开心地回家。第二段开头是:Ali带着开心快速地走回家。由给出的段首句可知,Ali是实现了他对妹妹赢得新鞋子的承诺,那么接下来本段应该写Ali回到家中,如何和妹妹Zahra分享他的喜悦和成果,妹妹是如何做出反应的。
【点睛】本文作者所续写内容符合文章的发展进程,情节合理,字数符合要求。作者在文中较多的使用非谓语动词结构,复合句,倒装句等句式,使得文章句式灵活多变,也展现了作者较高的英语高级句式驾驭功底。如“Refusing
to
give
up
at
this
point,
he
jumped
to
his
feet
and
ran
as
fast
as
he
could.”使用的是现在分词作状语,“Just
then
he
suddenly
heard
the
announcement
from
the
broadcast
that
he
won
the
third
prize
as
the
runner
who
collided
with
Ali
was
disqualified
for
breaking
the
rule.”使用了宾语从句和定语从句,原因状语从句。“So
thrilled
was
she
that
she
threw
herself
at
Ali.”使用了倒装句。
