你聽說過比薩斜塔嗎？這是一個著名的建筑，有幾百年的歷史，位于意大利的比薩市。這個塔一開始不是傾斜的，那么究竟為什么它后來變得傾斜了呢？我們從文章中來了解一下吧。

【1】我們觀察圖片可以看到，圖片中的塔是傾斜的。上句話說Nothing is wrong with your eyes你的眼睛沒有問題，那么就是這座塔有了問題。故應(yīng)選C。

【2】根據(jù)這一段的內(nèi)容可知，這里給我們介紹了比薩斜塔的歷史，這一段中出現(xiàn)了一些表示時間、年代的詞，如In 1173…In 1178…After about 200 years, in 1370等等。這個空在這一段的開頭，是這一段的中心句，故應(yīng)選E。

【3】根據(jù)空格所在的上下文可知，這里介紹的是比薩斜塔的一些具體信息，前面講的是在1370年，人們修建完成了這座塔。下句話說的是這座塔的高度，空格上也應(yīng)是介紹塔的信息，故應(yīng)選A，意思是“這座塔有八層。”

【4】根據(jù)下文的意思可知，關(guān)于比薩斜塔為什么會傾斜，人們有不同的觀點，這里作者給我們講述了其中的一種。因此這個空應(yīng)選D，意思是“它為什么會傾斜？”

【5】根據(jù)下句話Each bell stands for a musical note可知，這里提到每個鐘代表一個音符，因此這個空應(yīng)介紹塔里的鐘，故應(yīng)選B，意為：它里面有七個鐘。
