What's left is anecdotal evidence, kept alive by the tourist boat captains who have called it the Ladies' Bridge.‎ During the Second World War, with the majority of the active male labor force away at the front, women increasingly took on traditionally male roles. By 1944, 25,000 women were working in the construction industry, carrying out back－breaking tasks. These women were permitted to carry out this exhausting and dangerous work on the basis that it would only be temporary and that their pay would be lower than that of men. So the trend in women working in construction and engineering did not continue after the war.‎ September sees a series of events celebrating the unknown work of the large female workforce. Musician Claudia Molitor has created a 45－minute musical entitled “the Singing Bridge”， which runs at Somerset House from 9 to 25 September. In late September, the “Light up the Ladies' Bridge” event sees the National Theatre's fly tower lit up by large scale photographic projections (投影) of female construction workers working in construction during World War Ⅱ.‎ Let's all celebrate the women who have helped to build the cities in which we live.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了英国滑铁卢桥的历史、建造人、纪念活动等。‎ ‎1．Why do few people know about the builders of Waterloo Bridge?‎ A．The records of their work have been lost.‎ B．Female workers received little attention.‎ C．The construction took place long ago.‎ D．Few people know about the bridge.‎ ‎[解析]　细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句可知，自从20世纪80年代建造该桥的建筑公司倒闭以来，就没有妇女建造该桥的文字或照片记录了，所有的记录随着公司的倒闭都丢失了，故A项正确。‎ ‎[答案]　A ‎2．Why did London women do the construction work?‎ A．It was a tradition in London.‎ B．They wanted to get a steady job.‎ C．The company offered them better pay.‎ D．Most men had gone to the battlefield.‎ ‎[解析]　细节理解题。根据第三段的第一句“During the Second World War, with the majority of the active male labor force away at the front, women increasingly took on traditionally male roles”可知，由于二战期间大部分男子上前线参战，妇女便不得不充当起了男子的角色，故D项正确。‎ ‎[答案]　D ‎3．What's the fourth paragraph mainly about?‎ A．The influence of the bridge on art.‎ B．A musician's contribution to the bridge.‎ C．The events in honor of the bridge builders.‎ D．Women's work during the Second World War.‎ ‎[解析]　主旨大意题。通读第四段可知，该段第一句“September sees a series of events celebrating the unknown work of the large female workforce”为该段主题句，该段主要介绍了在九月份举行的一系列纪念建桥者的活动，故C项正确。‎ ‎[答案]　C ‎4．Which can be the best title for the text?‎ A．Female Workers on the Rise B．A Hidden Treasure in London C．A New London Landmark D．The Story Behind the Ladies' Bridge ‎[解析]　标题判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了英国滑铁卢桥的历史、建造人、纪念活动等，重点介绍了该桥被称为“女士桥”的原因和其背后的故事，故D项最适合作本文标题。‎ ‎[答案]　D B ‎(2017·河南、河北、山西、湖北、湖南、江西、安徽省七校高三联考)When it comes to writing work e－mails, there are many rules to follow. In the past, people always wanted to come across as someone who's calm and professional, which workplace manners experts say means they wanted to hold back their love for emoticons (表情符号) while on the job.‎ But language is always changing, and a recent national survey in the US found that 76 percent of Americans said that they had used emoticons in digital communication at work. The most popular emoticon is the ‎ happy face.‎ Lindsey Pollak, a US career coach who works with Millennials (千禧一代), has also noticed that emoticons have gone from being inappropriate for the workplace to being accepted. The reason behind this, according to her, is largely due to the changing of people in a particular age group of the workforce. Millennials are now the biggest generation in the American workforce. “A few years ago, emoticons were absolutely seen as very young and very personal，” Pollak said. “Over the past few years... I've seen emoticons become more acceptable. I see them more frequently not just from Millennials but from all generations at the workplace.”‎ ‎“People tend to use emoticons to just add that little bit of extra change in the tone when there's something awkward or potentially offensive, or when they might take in things in the wrong way，” explains Lauren Collister, a sociolinguist. In life and work, many of us have used emoticons to send positive atmosphere or soften statements.‎ Pollak, however, warns against being too casual at work. Her advice is to be aware of who the audience is. “Frankly, I wouldn't use a happy face with any CEO in the US. I wouldn't use a happy face with the people of a certain level no matter how commonplace and acceptable it has become，” she said. “You can make or break a relationship with one e－mail these days.”‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，向我们介绍了表情符号在工作邮件中的使用越来越流行的原因以及人们对此要注意的方面。‎ ‎5．What does the author say about past working people?‎ A．They were calm and professional.‎ B．They used more serious emoticons.‎ C．They were not fond of emoticons.‎ D．They avoided using emoticons at the workplace.‎ ‎[解析]　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“they wanted to hold back their love for emoticons (表情符号) while on the job”可知，以前的职员在工作中抑制自己对表情符号的喜爱，即避免使用表情符号。故选D。根据第一段中的“people always wanted to come across as someone who's calm and professional”可排除A项。‎ ‎[答案]　D ‎6．What can people use emoticons to do at the workplace?‎ A．Make it personal to communicate.‎ B．Keep up with the trend of the times.‎ C．Show a positive attitude to the receiver.‎ D．Help them share their ideas and feelings.‎ ‎[解析]　推理判断题。根据第四段的内容可知，当尴尬或者可能冒犯别人的事情发生时，或者可能误解了某事时，人们往往会使用表情符号来稍微改变一下语气，传达积极的交流氛围或者让表达变得缓和。也就是说，在工作场合，人们可以通过表情符号来向接收者表达自己积极的态度。故选C。‎ ‎[答案]　C ‎7．What can we learn from the last paragraph?‎ A．Emoticons should be used with caution.‎ B．There are strict limitations on emoticon using.‎ C．All the US CEOs are against the use of emoticons.‎ D．Emoticons can greatly help bring people closer.‎ ‎[解析]　‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，人们在使用表情符号时要谨慎，要分场合分人，不能随意使用表情符号。‎ ‎[答案]　A ‎8．What's the writer's attitude towards the use of emoticons at work?‎ A．Subjective. B．Objective.‎ C．Doubtful. D．Opposing.‎ ‎[解析]　作者态度题。纵观全文可知，作者既谈到了表情符号的流行及作用，也谈到了人们在使用表情符号时需要注意的地方。因此作者的态度是客观的，故选B。‎ ‎[答案]　B Ⅳ.七选五阅读填空 ‎(2017·湖北省七市教科研协作体高三联考)Curling (冰壶) is a winter sport played on ice. Therefore, it's most popular in northern countries like Canada. Curling is played in the USA by about 15,000 people. ____1____ Scottish winters were long and there were few forms of entertainment. So people began making a sport out of sliding heavy stones on the frozen lakes. The game spread, and in the 1700s curling clubs formed. Then Scottish soldiers brought it to North America.‎ ‎2____ Men, women, and children often compete on the same team, if they can slide a forty－pound stone down the ice! Both teams slide their stones toward the same goal. After all 16 stones have been cast, the team whose stone has slid closest to the goal gets one point.‎ ‎3____ The ice is so smooth and the stone is so heavy that even the smallest misjudgment in a throw can make the stone slide much too far or stop too suddenly. ____4____ Water helps the stone slide, but it can also change the stone's path.‎ In curling, a broom is part of each player's equipment. A good curler must know how much force to use. The player must know the exact ‎ conditions of the ice on the court. ____5____ That may explain why the international Olympic Committee decided to make curling an Olympic sport in 1998.‎ A．Players compete on the court.‎ B．Then the play begins in the other direction.‎ C．Curling is played by teams of four people.‎ D．In other words, a good curler must be a fine athlete.‎ E．The rules are easy to learn, but playing the game is hard.‎ F．The melting of the ice makes things tough for the curlers.‎ G．Curling probably began in Scotland in the 1500s or earlier.‎ 语篇解读：本文主要介绍了一种奥林匹克运动项目——冰壶。‎ ‎1．[解析]　根据下文的“Scottish winters were long and there were few forms of entertainment. So people began making a sport”可推知，此处是概述冰壶的历史渊源，所以选G项。‎ ‎[答案]　G ‎2．[解析]　根据本段的整体内容可知，本段主要讲的是冰壶的具体操作规则，故选C项。‎ ‎[答案]　C ‎3．[解析]　上段讲的是冰壶的操作规则，本段讲的是冰壶的操作规则学起来容易，但具体操作起来并非易事，所以选E项来承上启下。‎ ‎[答案]　E ‎4．[解析]　根据“The ice is so smooth and the stone is so heavy that even the smallest misjudgment in a throw can make the stone slide much too far or stop too suddenly”可推知，冰壶在实际操作中并非易事，与选项F呼应，所以选F项。F项中的“The melting of the ice”与空后的“Water”呼应。‎ ‎[答案]　F ‎5．[解析]　根据下文的“That may explain why... in 1998”可推知，一个好的冰壶球员必须是一个好的运动员，所以选D项。‎ ‎[答案]　D
