第六单元检测 (时间:100分钟　满分:120分) 第一部分　阅读理解(共两节,满分40分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分) 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。 A When Gustave Eiffel designed the tower to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution,he had never imagined it to last more than 20 years.However,the tower has been beyond all expectations. While its structure is greatly admired today,such wasn?t the case when the design was presented.Many artists thought the design was ugly,but Eiffel didn?t change a thing.He believed that once it was ready,people would love the tower. He was true.The tower was an instant hit when it opened on March 31st,1889,two years after construction began.Over 30,000 people came to admire the new wonder and even tried to climb to the top. Though it was famous,French officials still considered taking it down.Fortunately,Eiffel stopped them by convincing(说服) them to use it for scientific experiments,and then a few years later,signals for television broadcasting.Over the years,the tower was also home to a newspaper office,post office,theater and even a lab for Gustave Eiffel. Today,the tower houses many restaurants on its first and second level.The third level has been a platform where visitors can see the entire city of Paris.While visitors can take the stairs to the first two levels,they must take the elevators to the platform,which are closely monitored.That hasn?t stopped attempts by brave people to try to do various performances off the tower—from bungee jumping to climbing it with their bare hands. To make sure the “Iron Lady” looks good,the tower is cleaned and repainted every eight years.Moreover,thanks to the fact that it was made of iron that expands in hot weather,the tower “grows” up to 6.75 inches taller every summer! 1The Eiffel Tower was built 　　　.? A.in honour of a historical event B.beyond all people’s expectations C.after three years’ hard work D.with the purpose of amusing people 解析细节理解题。由第一句话“When Gustave Eiffel designed the tower to celebrate the 100th annive
