PART A Reading Aloud
In this part, you are required to watch a video clip and read after the speaker in the video.
In the heart of London sits one of Britain’s most recognisable buildings. Yet its story is one of the least understood. But what is now the site of a splendid palace was once open countryside. As royal residences go, Buckingham Palace is something of a newcomer. The state rooms are less than 200 years old. Yet its history is much older and more dramatic than you might think. Its rooms are filled with objects that are clues to the character of kings and queens past. And the art and architecture combine to make a statement about Britain’s place in the world.

Every time he delivered a letter to Mrs. Brown, he had to finish his work quite late, because she lived far away. However, Tom did not mind this, for Mrs. Brown always kindly invited him in for a drink. When Tom entered the gate of Mrs. Brown’s house yesterday, he didn’t see her working in the garden. He was surprised because she usually spent afternoons there when the weather was fine. Tom thought she might be in the kitchen. Then he went to the back of the house, but the door was locked. So, he returned to the front of the house and knocked hard on the door. There was no answer. Tom thought that this was very strange, because he knew Mrs. Brown seldom left the house. Just then, he noticed that her milk, delivered early in the morning, was still at the door. If Mrs. Brown had not taken in her milk, perhaps she was ill. Tom walked around the house and found an open window. He went inside and found Mrs. Brown was lying on the floor of the living room. Tom realized that there was little he could do. He called for an ambulance. 现在开始复述。
