43. D
细节理解题。用measure the time在文中搜寻,可在第三段和第四段中找到关键信息。 由第三段第二句Certain men were very clever at measuring the time of day according to the beating of their own hearts可知选项A正确,应排除; 由第四段第三句They marked the hours on candles, used sand in hour-glasses, and invented water-clocks可知选项B正确, 应排除; 由第四段第二句They learned to use the shadows cast by the sun可知选项C正确,应排除;虽然第三段第一句中有kings kept special slaves to tell the time,但要同第三句Certain men were very clever at measuring the time…一起理解的,即“国王养一些能根据心脏跳动来计时的物殊的奴隶来告诉时间”, 选项D“让奴隶日夜忙碌”则是断章取义,错了, 故选D。 A. state-owned houses
B. houses in very good condition
C. grand houses open to the public
D. houses where statesmen meet regularly 44. The underlined phrase “stately homes” in Paragraph 4 means ____ . 44. C
词义猜测题。根据第四段最后一句, stately homes与palaces和museums并列,结合后面的不定式短语,不难推断出stately homes是“供人参观的地方”。 A. to introduce the culture of antique clocks B. to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks C. to compare different ways to make a future profit D. to explain convenient and reliable ways of telling time 45. The purpose of the passage is ____. 45. B
