C
The River Thames is the longest river in England and the second longest in the United Kingdom, after the River Severn. But the Thames is more famous. That's probably because it's in London, the capital city. The Thames goes through London and other parts of the south of England.
Some of the best-known places in London are by the Thames: the Big Ben clock on the north side of the river; the London Eye on the south side, with its view of the city; and St. Paul's Cathedral, which had to be built again after the Great Fire of London in 1666. Some of the many bridges over the River Thames are also famous: Westminster Bridge, Tower Bridge and Millennium Bridge.
It's famous for art too. Some of the UK's most well-known artists have painted the Thames, including Turner and Constable in the 18th and 19th centuries. Turner is famous for painting water—the sea and rivers, while Constable is famous as a painter of fields and forests.

解析
【分析】
这是一篇关于泰晤士河的阅读理解题,解题的核心思路是带着每道题的题干关键词返回原文精准定位,逐一比对选项排除错误项:
1. 第38题直接定位第一段内容,把四个选项和第一段给出的泰晤士河的长度、流经区域、知名度等信息逐一核对;
2. 第39题是图文匹配的方位题,先从原文找到伦敦眼和泰晤士河的相对方位描述,再结合指向标(N北S南E东W西)判断四幅图的位置是否符合;
3. 第40题定位到1666年伦敦大火相关的原文语句,直接匹配对应的被毁建筑;
4. 第41题梳理最后一段的行文逻辑,找到段落核心主旨,匹配对应选项即可。
【解析】
38. 回到第一段原文比对选项:
选项A:原文说明泰晤士河是英国第二长河,不是第三长,错误;
选项B:原文说明泰晤士河流经英格兰南部,不是北部,错误;
选项C:原文提到塞文河是英国第一长河,但泰晤士河更有名,说明泰晤士河比塞文河知名度更高,符合原文,正确;
选项D:原文说明泰晤士河位于首都伦敦境内,并非远离伦敦,错误。
39. 原文第二段描述大本钟在泰晤士河北岸,伦敦眼在泰晤士河南岸,也就是河流位于北侧,代表伦敦眼的摩天轮位于河流南侧,结合指向标判断:
A选项河流在摩天轮南侧,不符合南岸的描述;
B选项横向的河流在北侧,摩天轮在河流南侧,完全符合方位要求;
C、D选项河流为南北走向,不符合“河北岸、河南岸”的东西向河流设定,位置错误。
40. 原文第二段明确提到圣保罗大教堂在1666年伦敦大火之后不得不重建,说明大火摧毁了圣保罗大教堂,对应选项B。
41. 最后一段首句点明泰晤士河也因艺术闻名,后续内容列举多位知名艺术家都以泰晤士河为创作对象,整段都在解释泰晤士河在艺术领域出名的原因,对应选项D。
