A．There followed; built
B．There following ; built
C．There followed; building
D．There following ; building
A
【解析】
試題分析：句意：接著參觀的是圣·保羅大教堂，它是公元1666年倫敦大火以后建造的。當第一次被建好時它看起來金碧輝煌。There followed意為“接著，隨后”，是倒裝句型。When后是省略句，完整的是when it was first built，故選A。
考點：考查倒裝及省略的用法。
點評：本題難度適中。倒裝及省略是高中階段重要的兩個語法項目，把兩者放在一起考查更增加了試題的難度，需要考生牢記倒裝和省略的各種情況。

A.stands a tall tree B.does a tall tree stand
C.a tall tree is standing D.a tall tree stands

When John Milton , writer of “Paradise Lost” ,entered Cambridge University, in 1625, he was already skilled in Latin after seven years of studying it as his second language at St. Paul’s School, London. Like all English boys who prepared for college in grammar schools ,he had learned not only to read Latin but also to speak and write it smoothly and correctly .His pronunciation of Latin was English ,however ,and seemed to have sounded strange to his friends when he later visited Italy.
Schoolboys gained their skill in Latin in a bitter way. They kept in mind the rules to make learning by heart easier. They first made a word-for-word translation and then an idiomatic translation into English .As they increased their skill ,they translated their English back into Latin without referring to the book and then compared their translation with the original .The schoolmaster was always at hand to encourage them. All schoolmasters believed Latin should be beaten in.
After several years of study ,the boys began to write compositions in imitation of the Latin writers they read. And as they began to read Latin poems ,they began to write poems in Latin .Because Milton was already a poet at ten ,his poems were much better than those painfully put together by the other boys. During the seven years Milton spent at university ,he made regular use of his command of Latin. He wrote some excellent Latin poems ,which he published among his works in 1645.

B．The schoolmaster usually stood beside the schoolboys with a stick in his hand.

A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery（面包房）into a small hotel next door. Then it spread quickly into Thames Street. That was the beginning.
By eight o’clock three hundred houses were on fire. On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames. Tuesday was the worst day. The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old St Paul’s and the Guildhall among them .
Samuel Pepys , the famous writer, writer about the fire, “People threw their things into the river. Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment. Birds fell out of the air because of the heat .”
The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path（路徑） of the fire.With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.
After the fire, Christopher Wren, the architect(建筑師), wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone．In fact, the streets are still narrow, but he did build more than fifty churches, among which was the new St Paul’s

What would you think if someone suggested knocking down St Paul’s Cathedral to widen the road? Or pulling down Big Ben to make way for a car park? It would be ridiculous, right? But when it comes to devastation (毀滅) of the natural world, we aren’t so easily shocked. But we should be…or we’ll be in a lot of trouble.
Nature is shrinking by the day. Ancient forests are destroyed. Wetlands are becoming dry. Woodland is disappearing, and all in the name of progress. This is bad in itself, but it’s devastating for biodiversity.
Biodiversity refers to the variety of plants, animals and other living things that are all interconnected. The ecological services provided by biodiversity are vital to everyday life. The air we breathe is a product of photosynthesis (光合作用) by green plants. Insects, worms and bacteria break down waste and make soils rich. And tiny organisms clean the water in rivers and sea. In fact, all life on the earth exists thanks to the benefits of biodiversity. More than 90 percent of the calories consumed by people worldwide are produced from 80 plant species. And 30 percent of medicines are developed from plants and animals. Maintaining a wide diversity of species in each ecosystem is necessary to preserve all living things.
The loss of biodiversity could be devastating. “It is wrong to think that biodiversity can be reduced indefinitely without threatening humans,” said Harvard University biologist Edward O. Wilson, known as the “father of biodiversity”. He warned, “We are about to reach a critical point beyond which biodiversity loss will become irreversible (不可挽回的).”
But what can we do? The present problem is that the concept of biodiversity is so vague (含糊的). People might care about giant pandas, but it is much harder to excite them about the fate of tiny sea creatures which are being boiled to death in the cooling systems of power stations along coastlines. The Guardian newspaper is trying to help. It has launched the Biodiversity 100 campaign to try to convince governments around the world to take action to deal with the widespread concerns about biodiversity. This includes persuading the UK government to create a series of marine reserves to reserve the decrease in the sea-life caused by industrial fishing, stopping fishing sharks by the Japanese fishermen and banning the killing of dingoes (wild dogs) in Australia, among many other things.
There is a lot to do. And we’d better act quickly if we don’t want to end up with a planet that can’t sustain life!
1.The writer thinks it ________ to pull down Big Ben to make way for a car park.
A．unreasonable B．necessary C．difficult D．reasonable
2.The underlined sentence “Nature is shrinking by the day.” means that ________.
A．nature is badly polluted by humans
B．species are becoming fewer and fewer day by day
C．rainforests are being cut down every day
D．nature is full of mysteries
3.Edward O. Wilson thinks that ________.
A．it doesn’t matter to reduce biodiversity
B．people have done enough to preserve biodiversity
C．the situation of biodiversity is very serious
D．biodiversity loss has become irreversible
4.When it comes to biodiversity, the present problem is that ________.
A．people might not clearly know what is biodiversity and what should be protected
B．people are not aware that giant pandas are endangered
C．people don’t realize that biodiversity is vital to everyday life
D．people hunt sea creatures for food
5.What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A．The UK government. B．The concept of biodiversity.
C．The action to deal with the problem. D．The Guardian newspaper.
