The official London residence for the Queen and her family has been in existence since 1837. Queen Elizabeth II took the throne in 1953. In the summer, the State Rooms in the palace are open to the public for tours. However, much of the Queen’s home is off limits. It is reported that the palace to be 15 times larger than the US President’s residence. The most expensive home in Europe at an estimated 1.5 billion includes 775 rooms. The Richest YouTube channel recently took viewers on a tour of the ultra-luxurious interior of one of the most famous residences in the world. The Grand Staircase The first thing visitors see when walking into the palace is a magnificent, red carpet lined staircase, added by Queen Victoria in 1898. Portraits of the royal family line the walls so visitors can view history as they make their way toward the State Rooms. The Regency Room (摄政厅) Fans have surely seen this green and gold room with tassel trim sofas, a desk and traditional fireplace. The famous room is often where the Queen’s official photos are taken and the annual Christmas broadcast is filmed. The 1844 Room This room is often used to greet special guests and world leaders. With marble columns and gold mirrors, perhaps most notable is the 1820 neoclassical desk against one wall and the blue and gold chairs on either side. Outside Of course, a visit to Buckingham Palace wouldn’t be complete without watching the changing of the guard, a tradition beginning in 1911. The Queen also welcomes more than 30, 000 visitors to her summer garden parties, located in the back of the palace. The gardens include 350 different types of wildflowers, 200 trees and a three-acre lake on more than 39 acres. One more top-secret feature of the palace-the series of tunnels underneath the property. One, reportedly even leads to the House of Parliament. 21. Which of the following statement is true about the Queen’s palace? A. The Queen’s family hadn’t been living in the palace until 1953. 第4 页共11 页 B. In the summer, the whole palace is open to visitors. C. There are 1844 rooms in the palace. D. The palace is thought to be the most expensive residence in Europe. 22. Where would Queen often greet the world leaders? A. In the Grand Staircase. B. In the Regency Room. C. In the 1844 Room. D. In Queen’s garden. 23. What can we learn from the passage? A. The Grand Staircase was built by Queen Elizabeth II. B. The Regency Room is regarded as the most notable room in the palace. C. It’s a pity that visitors are forbidden to watch the changing of the guard. D. Visitors might be inaccessible to the tunnels beneath the palace. B La Serna High School teacher and football coach Ken LaVigne has spent more than 30 years instructing students, touching the hearts of hundreds of educators with his compassion (同情心) and patience. LaVigne has documented his experiences in “Coach the Soul”, an inspirational book that tells heartbreaking stories of the struggle and success of students on the program he created, Organized Academic Support in School(OASIS). Launched in 2007, OASIS pairs students who are in danger of dropping out of high school with high-achieving peer ( 同龄人) instructors who provide daily motivation and emotional and academic (学业上的) support, helping them regain their joy of learning. “When I started in the OASIS program, I had a 1.3 GPA(Grade Point Average) and I really didn’t understand why I came to school,” Jastin Cheadle said. “Mr. LaVigne explained why school is so important and showed us that if we want all these things in life we need to work for them.” Cheadle now has a 3.5 GPA and is an OASIS instructor. He plans to study marketing or business in college. “When students come into the program, they are not in a good place,” said Jocelyn Jasso, who joined OASIS with a 1.55 GPA last year and had no plans to go to college. “Five to six months later, they are doing so much better because of Mr. Lavigue and our instructors, who always push us to do better.” Jasso has a 2.83 GPA and plans to pursue a career in the medical field in the future. LaVigne is able to connect with these students because he admittedly was also not the most motivated student in school himself. “Working with at-risk students reminds me of my own youth and the times that I came so close to going down the wrong path,” LaVigne said. “What saved me were the teachers who gave me an identity and a reason to try. I am who I am today because of them.” 第5 页共11 页 24. What is the book “Coach the Soul” mainly about? A. LaVigne’s teaching experience. B. La Serna High School’s history. C. Stories of students’ personal growth. D. Stories between students and teachers. 25. What can be learnt about the OASIS program? A. Its sponsors are educators. B. It was organized by students’ union. C. It aims to equip students with job skills. D. Its instructors are high school students. 26. What do Cheadle and Jasso have in common? A. They come from poor families. B. They help LaVigne run OASIS. C. They have made academic progress. D. They will pursue a career in medicine. 27. Who had a life-changing influence on LaVigne? A. His family. B. His students. C. His teachers. D. His colleagues. C There have been sightings of strange things in the sky since ancient times, but it was only in the middle of the 20th century that they acquired
