I arrived in London at last. The railway station was big, black and dark. I did not know the way to my hotel, so I asked a porter（搬运工）. I not only spoke English very carefully, but very clearly as well. The porter, however, could not understand me. I repeated my question several times and at last he understood. He answered me, but spoke neither slowly nor clearly. “I am a foreigner,” I said. Then he spoke slowly, but still I could not understand him. My teacher never spoke English like that! The porter and I looked at each other and smiled. Then he said something and I understood it. “You will soon learn English!” he said. I wonder whether, in England, each man speaks a different language. The Englishmen understand each other, but I don't understand them! Do they speak English?

Visitors to Britain are always complaining about English food. But they do not really know what they are talking about because they seldom get a chance to eat it. Most of the restaurants in large towns have foreign owners and serve foreign food. When visitors are invited to eat in an English home their hosts often feel they must offer them something foreign and exotic.
Those of us who do not know English food think that as its best it can be really very good. On the other hand, it is true to say that it is sometimes terrible. Part of the problem is that we are not really interested in food we eat to live as we do not live to eat. So we don' t spend the necessary time and effort needed to cook really good meals. We prefer food that is simple and easy to cook, or ready prepared food which only needs heating up before eating.
You can find the best English food in the country away from the large towns, where life is slower and people are not in such a hurry. But, of course, most visitors come to London. They come because they are interested in shopping and sightseeing. They do not come because of the food, so why should they complain about it?
59．The writer thinks ________.
A. people don't like English food
B. People don't often eat English food
C. people who travel to Britain eat English food in English homes
D. people who travel to Britain don't know about English food
60．The underlined word “exotic” in the first paragraph means ________.
A. well-known B. foreign or unusual
C. usual or common D. in a quick easy way
61．Which might be the best title for this passage?________.
A. English Food Is Good B. English Food Is Bad
C. English Food D. How to Eat English Food
62．The conclusion suggests ________.
A. the criticism（批评） of English food by visitors is unfair
B. it is possible to find good English food in large towns but it takes time to find
C. as well as food people also come to shopping and sightseeing
D. if you complain about English food, you will get better food
D
Here are two cars that may some day take the place of today's big automobiles（汽车）. If everyone drives such a car in future, there will be less pollution in the air. There will be more parking space in cities, and the streets will be less crowded. Three such cars can fit in the space now needed for one car of the usual size.
The little cars will cost much less to own and to drive. Driving will be safer, too, as these little cars can go only 65 kilometres per hour.
The cars of the future will be fine for getting round a city, but they will not be useful for long trips. If the car is powered by electricity, it will have two batteries（电池）,one battery for the motor and one for the horn signals, etc. Little cars which are powered by gasoline will go 450 kilometres before needing to stop for more gasoline.
If big cars are still used along with the small ones, two sets of roads will be needed in the future. Some roads will be used for the big, fast cars, and other roads will be needed for the small, slower ones.
63．What is the advantage of the small cars?
A. There won't be so much pollution and the small cars won't be so expensive as the big ones.
B. It will be safer to drive these small cars.
C. There will be more space for cars to park.
D. All of the above.
64．Why is it safer to drive these small cars? Because ________.
A. the speed of these cars is unlimited B. the speed of these cars is limited
C. the streets won't be so crowded D. the cars need only a little space
65．Two sets of roads are necessary in the future in order to ________.
A. prevent road accidents B. make the city more beautiful
C. let small cars run fast D. limit the speed of cars
66．The best title for the passage might be ________.
A. Big Cars and Small Cars B. How to Drive Small Cars
C. Cars for Tomorrow D. Cars for Everyone

Letter to Editor of TV Weekly
Dear Sir/Madam,
I read Alison Burnham’s review of When we were 12, and I do not agree with her. I thought the
programme was wonderful — I found the old news pictures really interesting — they helped to bring to life the stories the people were telling.
The programme reminds me of many things from my own childhood. For example, one day when I was about five, I was going to school on the bus by myself (this was the late 1960s). My mother had given me exactly the right money for a return ticket. I held out my hand with the money in it — one big coin on top of one little coin. The bus conductor took the big top coin only and she gave me a ticket, but it was a pink one for a single journey. I needed a white one for a return journey, but I was too frightened to say anything. When school finished for the day, I couldn’t catch the bus home — I had to walk. As a grownup, whenever I’ve been in a situation where I need to say something or take some action, this early memory of my bus ride comes back to me, and I’m able to take control of the situation.
I would like to say to the director, Bret Chrysler, carry on making this kind of programme. Too much TV these days is quiz shows and socalled “reality programmes”.I appreciate the human story that can make me laugh and cry.
Yours faithfully,
Chris Daniels
67. What is Chris Daniels’ purpose of writing this letter?
A. To persuade Bret Chrysler to turn away from quiz shows.
B. To entertain other readers with old news pictures.
C. To express his appreciation of the programme.
D. To have his story told on the programme.
68. Chris Daniels tells the story about the bus ticket to .
A. describe how painful his early experience was
B. draw a direct response from Alison Burnham
C. show how the programme made him think
D. teach the readers of TV Weekly a lesson
69. According to the passage, Chris Daniels had to walk home because .
A. he hadn’t got a return ticket B. he had lost his bus ticket
C. he didn’t like big crowds D. he missed the bus home
70. What does Chris Daniels now think about his experience on the bus?
A. He should have told the conductor then. B. He should have been well treated.
C. He regrets going to school alone. D. He wishes it hadn’t happened.

书面表达One possible version:
A healthy diet and regular exercise may help to prevent obesity(肥胖) among children. Take Li Ming for example.
Li Ming used to be a healthy boy, but over a year ago, into the habit of eating a lot of junk food and snacks. Besides, he spent a lot of time lying on the sofa, watching TV, and did little exercise. As a result, he put on so much weight that he found it difficult to climb the stairs.
So Li Ming decided to change the unhealthy life style. He began to have a balanced, healthy diet. He also took part in various sports activities such as swimming, skating, running and playing basketball. Months later, Li Ming became as fit as before.
