Passage 1
The angry woman stood on the station platform (月台). “The railway should pay me
£14,” she said to Tony Jenks, the man in the booking office. “My ticket was for
June 26th, and there was no ship from Jersey that night. My daughter and I had to
stay in a hotel. It cost me £14.” Tony was worried. He remembered selling the
woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, madam,” he said politely. “I’
ll just check the Jersey timetable for June 26th.” The woman and her little girl
followed him inside. She was quite right, as Tony soon discovered. There was no
ship sailing on June 26th. How had he made such a careless mistake? Not knowing
what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sunburned (晒黑旳),” he said to
her. “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?” “Yes,” she answered shyly. “The
beach was lovely. And I could swim too!” “That’s fine,” said Tony. “My little
girl can’t swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three……” “I’m four,” the
child said proudly. “I’ll soon be four and a half.” Tony turned to the mother.
“I remember your ticket, madam,” he said. “But you didn’t get one for your
daughter, did you?” “Er, well……” the woman looked at the child, “I mean —
she hasn’t started school yet. She’s only four.” “A four-year-old child must
have a ticket, madam. A child’s return ticket to Jersey costs — let me see —
£15.50. So if you want the railway to pay £14 for your hotel, you will have to
pay the railway £15.50 first. The law is the law, but since the fault was mine……”
The woman stood up, took the child’s hand and left the office.

Passage 2
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 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.
6. What was people’s dream about England and France?
A. Napoleon could reach England.
B. Napoleon could dig a tunnel for
them.

D. The queen agreed to the digging plan.
8. 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.
9. 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

outside world
10. The passage mainly tells us _________.

tunnel

答案:D C B C A
Passage 3
Opportunities for rewarding work become fewer for both men and women as they grow
older. After age 40, job hunting becomes even more difficult. Many workers stay
at jobs they are too old for rather than face possible rejection. Our youth-oriented,
throw-away culture sees little value in older people. In writer Lilian Hellman's
words, they have "the wisdom that comes with age that we can't make use of."
Unemployment and economic need for work is higher among older women, especially
minorities, than among younger white women. A national council reports these
findings: Though unemployed longer when seeking work, older women job-hunt harder,
hold a job longer with less absenteeism (缺勤), perform as well or better, are more
reliable, and are more willing to learn than men or younger women. Yet many older
women earn poor pay and face a future of poverty in their retirement years. When
"sexism meets ageism, poverty is no longer on the doorstep - it moves in," according
to Tish Sommers, director of a special study on older women for the National
Organization for Women.
Yet a 1981 report on the White House Conference on Aging shows that as a group,
older Americans are the "wealthiest, best fed, best housed, healthiest, most
self-reliant older population in our history." This statement is small comfort to
those living below the poverty line, but it does explode some of the old traditional
beliefs and fears. Opportunities for moving in and up in a large company may shrink
but many older people begin successful small businesses, volunteer in satisfying
activities, and stay active for many years. They have few role models because in
previous generations the life span was much shorter and expectations of life were
fewer. They are ploughing new ground.
Employers are beginning to recognize that the mature person can bring a great deal
of stability and responsibility to a position. One doesn't lose ability and
experience on the eve of one's 65th or 70th birthday any more than one grows up
instantly at age 21. ( 348 words )
11. After the age of 40, ______.
A. most workers are tired of their present jobs
B. many workers tend to stick to their present jobs
C. people find their jobs more rewarding than before
D. people still wish to hunt for more suitable jobs
12. From Hellman's remark, we can see that ______.
A. full use has been made of the wisdom of older people
B. the wisdom of older people is not valued by American society
C. older people are no less intelligent than young people
D. the wisdom of older people is of great value to American society
13. Tish Sommers argues that ______.
A. older women find it hard to escape poverty
B. older women usually perform better in their jobs
C. the major cause of the poverty of older women is sexism
D. more people have come to believe in sexism and ageism
14. According to the third paragraph, it can be seen that older Americans ______.
A. have more job opportunities than young people
B. live below the poverty line
C. have new opportunities to remain active in society
D. no longer believe in the promise of a happy life upon retirement
15. It can be concluded from the passage that the writer ______.
A. calls attention to the living conditions of older Americans
B. believes that the value of older people is gaining increasing recognition
C. attempts to justify the youth-oriented, throw-away culture of the United States
D. argues people should not retire at the age of 65 or 70
