A
Dear Boris,
Thanks for your nice letter.
After I had spent a week with my English family, I slowly began to understand their English
a little better. It’s very different from what I learned at school! Students in my group are from different cities of Britain and their dialects (方言) are different too! Some of their accents (口音) are quite strong and they also have their own words and expressions.
But it’s not the language that’s different and surprising. Before I came to England I had thought that fish and chips were eaten every day. That’s quite wrong! I get rather mad now when I hear all the foolish words about typical (典型的) English food.
I had expected to see “London fog”. Do you remember our texts about it? We had no idea that most of this ‘thick fog’ disappeared many years ago when people stopped using coal in their homes. But the idea to speak about the weather was very helpful. The weather in London is really changeable.
On the other hand habits are different. People tell me what is typically British here in London is not always typical in Wales or Scotland. Local habits and traditions are not the same as what we knew.
But what is ordinary for all British is that they follow traditions. Probably Britain has more living signs of its past than many other countries. And people have always been proud of having ancient buildings in capitals, big cities and the countryside.
I will tell you more about Britain in my other letters.
Love from Britain,
Pete
41. What does Pete feel about the English language?
A. At first it was difficult for him to understand people.
B. He can understand different dialects and accents.
C. He can speak English better than others.
D. People can’t understand his English.
42. Typical English food _______.
A. makes people mad B. can’t be seen now
C. is always fish and chips D. is not what he knew
43. The British people like to talk about weather because ________.
A. there is thick fog in London B. they like the weather in Britain
C. the weather changes a lot D. it can be helpful
44. What do you know about habits in Britain from the passage?
A. They are not the same in different parts of Britain.
B. Habits in Wales and Scotland are typically British.
C. There are no typical British habits in Britain.
D. All that is typically British is in London.
45. Which is NOT true according to the passage?
A. What he’s seen is quite different from what he’d learned
B. British people like to follow traditions.
C. Pete had learned about Britain before.
D. Pete doesn’t like his life in Britain.
B
I’m confused these days. We are taught at home and at school that using violence (暴力) is the least civilized (文明的) way to solve problems. For example, last week I thought about hitting my friend for winning a beautiful shell while we were playing at the beach. I talked with him instead and we came to an agreement. If two adults had a disagreement, and if they used violence towards each other in order to win, is it all right?
When two countries disagree, they often fight a war. Why is using violence not okay at home, at school, or in your country but okay between countries? So many people have been killed because of wars, not only soldiers but ordinary people, even small children and babies. And refugees (难民) exist, too.
A war is a great violence, like two people fighting over a shell, just much bigger. Adults say they are fighting wars in order to solve problems and make peace. But can you really “make peace” by killing so many people? I don’t think bombs (炸弹) can reach people’s hearts and change them. Bombs can’t create love and caring, and that’s what we need in the world. Why do adults use violence so quickly? Why can’t they use their wisdom (智慧) and talk it over?
Adults might say that things are not that easy. But they are the ones that teach us to be kind, not to hurt people, and not to kill. Why don’t they act as what they say?
---A page from a 12-tear-old boy, Joshua’s diary.
46. At the beach, Joshua ________.
A. hit his friend B. won a beautiful shell
C. played with a beautiful shell D. came to an agreement with his friend
47. Joshua hates wars between countries because ________.
A. he is afraid of wars B. he doesn’t understand adults
C. wars create death and refugees D. wars are not the only way to make peace
48. What’s the key to peace in Joshua’s opinion?
A. Love and care for each other. B. Don’t use violence so quickly.
C. Stop using bombs in wars. D. Don’t hurt or kill people in wars.
49. From the reading we can see Joshua wants adults to ________.
A. learn from children B. be children’s models
C. be kind to children D. teach children how to solve problems
50. Choose the best title (标题) for the passage.
A. Adults and Wars B. How to Stop Wars
C. Wars Can’t Make Peace D. Ways of Solving Problems
C

Throughout history, people had dreamed about joining England and France together. Even Napoleon had a plan to dig a tunnel (隧道) and reach England. One of the first people who tried to dig a tunnel under the Channel (英吉利海峡) was a French engineer called Albert Mathieu. His tunnel failed.
In 1881, Colonel Beamont and Captain English from Britain also tried to dig a tunnel. Their tunnel went six kilometers into the Channel. Queen Victoria stopped them and said it was dangerous to connect with France. It was a very good tunnel, and it is still there today.
The new tunnel (ready in 1993) is, in fact, three tunnels-two for trains and a “service tunnel” for fresh air to go in and for men who take care of the tunnels. The tunnels are fifty kilometers long, forty meters under water. Forty kilometers of tunnel are under the sea itself. They are the longest undersea tunnels in the world. Trains travel through the tunnels at 160 km/h. People drive their cars onto trains and the trains take them through the tunnel. Each train takes 1,500 people and there are trains every ten minutes.
A special radio station called Channel Channel has started, because it is impossible to receive normal radio signals (信号) when you are under the sea. The station sends news to keep people up-to-date with the ‘world outside’ while they are in the tunnel.
56. What was people’s dream about England and France?
A. Napoleon could reach England. B. Napoleon could dig a tunnel for them.
C. Albert Mathieu would succeed. D. England and France could be joined together.
57. Which is TRUE about the tunnel building in 1881?
A. The tunnel went six kilometers from France.
B. Tunnel-building was a dangerous job.
C. The old tunnel is still under the sea.
D. The queen agreed to the digging plan.
58. What’s the traveling like in the tunnel?
A. Trains and cars can travel at 160 km/h.
B. People can travel by trains through two tunnels.
C. It takes ten minutes to go through the tunnel by train.
D. People can drive their cars or take trains through the tunnel.
59. Channel Channel has started to _________.
A. tell people what the date is B. send news about people in the tunnel
C. tell people news about the outside world D. receive radio signals of the outside world
60. The passage mainly tells us _________.
A. the history of the Channel tunnel B. the importance of the Channel tunnel
C. it’s hard work to dig an undersea tunnel D. the people who tried to dig the Channel tunnel
