The Eiffel Tower is a famous place of interest in France. Completed(完成) in 1889, it was the tallest building in the world for 41 years and is also the tallest tower in Paris today.
The Eiffel Tower is made mainly of wrought iron(锻铁). The tower is 330 metres tall. It took nearly 300 people about two years to build this amazing tower. The tower is painted(刷漆) every seven years, but it takes between 18 months and over three years to finish each time because it is painted mostly by hand.
Every year about 7,000,000 people visit and climb the tower. Some people take the lift and go up to the top of the tower to enjoy the beauty of the city. But if you don't want to wait for the lift or if you want to get some exercise, you can walk up to the second floor.
It is said that many interesting things have happened inside the tower. In 1948, an elephant walked up to the first floor. In 1983, two men went up and down the stairs on motorbikes.
The Eiffel Tower is open every day of the year, usually from 9:30 to 23:45. But in July and August, it's open from 9:00 to 00:45. ▲ You will surely enjoy it!

本题为英语阅读理解题，需通过定位原文对应信息解答各小题：19题需定位第一段内容，判断选项正误；20题定位铁塔高度的描述；21题定位开放时间信息，筛选符合4月参观的时间；22题需结合上下文语境，选择合适的结尾句。
【解析】
19题：定位第一段，A选项“1841年完工”与原文“Completed in 1889”不符；B选项“是巴黎最高的塔”与原文“is also the tallest tower in Paris today”一致；C选项“在英国”与原文“in France”不符；D选项“1934年是世界最高建筑”，原文说它保持最高41年（1889+41=1930），故D错误，选B。
20题：定位第二段“The tower is 330 metres tall”，直接对应D选项，选D。
21题：定位最后一段，4月非7、8月，开放时间为9:30-23:45，选项中仅C（18:00）在该区间，选C。
