【解析】

【1】B考查形容詞及語境理解。句意：倫敦是一個大城市。small小的；big大的；new新的；quiet安靜的。結(jié)合地理知識可知倫敦是一個大城市，所以該選B。

【2】A考查數(shù)詞及語境理解。句意：六百五十多萬人住在那里。million百萬；thousand前；hundred百；ten十。聯(lián)系后面句子___ half a million people work in the _____.可知該選A。

【3】C考查介詞短語及語境理解。句意：至少有五十萬人在銀行工作。 At last最后；At the beginning of在……開始時(shí)；At least至少；At the end of在……結(jié)束時(shí)。在這四個短語中能修飾數(shù)詞的只有At least，所以選C。

【4】A考查名詞及語境理解。句意：至少有五十萬人在銀行工作。banks銀行；factories工廠；farms農(nóng)場；offices辦公室。聯(lián)系前面句子It’s also a financial (金融的) city.可知該選A。

【6】B考查名詞及語境理解。句意：在倫敦也有許多名勝。interesting有趣的；interest興趣；nterests是interest的復(fù)數(shù)形式；interested感興趣的。根據(jù)下文描述可知這里是說倫敦有很多名勝，place of interest，是一個固定短語，所以選B。
