Ａ
Nearly all the tourists who come to southeast France make a tour to Monaco (摩纳哥), too. Lying near the French-Italian border (边界), Monaco is not part of France, but a separate principality (公国), though it is surrounded by its greatest neighbour.
Monaco became a principality in the 16th century after being owned by a family member of a certain Italian king. The French and Italians, however, soon came to “protect” it one after another, until 1861, when it became its own master again.
Facing the blue Mediterranean (地中海), Monaco is mainly made up of two cities, Monaco, where the palace of the prince (王子) stands, and Monte Carlo (蒙特卡洛), which is a wonderful place for tourists. Every year, around half a million people from all parts of the world come to Monaco, nearly 25 times as much as its population.
Believe it or not, Monaco has no soldiers or policemen of its own. Law and order is kept by French police, and French stands for it in its foreign affairs, even the money used in Monaco is franc, too.
46. Monaco is _____________ .
A. another name for Monte Carlo B. mostly visited by French tourists
C. surrounded by France D. more related to Italy than to France
47. Monaco has a population of _____________.
A. over 20,000 B. 200,000 or so
C. over 25,000 D. no more than 20,000
48. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. The national income of Monaco depends mainly on France.
B. Monaco is famous for having no soldiers or policemen of its own.
C. Monaco does not have a seat in the UN because it is too small a country.
D. Monte Carlo City seems more important for the existence of this principality.

About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only abut one in two hundred is affected in this manner. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman.
There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything the shades of green --- a strange world indeed.
Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but no color.
Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes like blue but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.
49. According to the passage, with the help of the cones, we can_______.
A. tell different shapes B. see in a weak light
C. kill mosquitoes D. tell orange from yellow
50. Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by a woman?
A. Women are more careful.
B. There are fewer color-blind women.
C. Women are fonder of driving than men.
D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.
51. Which of the following statements about the color-blind is true?
A. Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing colors.
B. None of them can see deep red.
C. None of them can tell the difference between blue and green.
D. All of them see everything in shades of green.
52. We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a ______.
A. red light B. yellow light
C. blue light D. green light .

At first all films were in black and white, but in 1932 the first color film was made. This proved as unpopular as talking films had done in the late 1920’s. It was not until 1938 that a full-length color film was made, and the success of this film made producers everywhere change from black and white to color. This first full-length color film was translated into ten different languages and made Hollywood the main center of film industry。
In the early days of the cinema, other countries also had film industries. Very good films were made in Sweden, Britain, Russia and France. However, because Hollywood had so much money to spend, it kept its position as the world’s most important film center. Film actors went to America because they knew they could get a lot of money for every film they made. In 1918 Charlie Chaplin received $5 each day.
However, life was not always easy for the film actors. Newspapermen followed them everywhere, and after Charlie Chaplin married for the fourth time he became so unpopular with the American public that he had to leave the country and live in Europe.

作文：
Dear Bob,
It’s very kind of you to write to me and let me know about your beautiful city. Now I’d like to tell you something about my hometown Jiangcheng.
The city stands on the bank of the Changjiang River. It is a beautiful place for people to live in. Its economy has been developing rapidly in the past ten years. New factories, houses and roads have been built. More schools and hospitals are available for its people. However, there are some problems, such as water and air pollution and heavy traffic in rush hours. In my opinion, Jiangcheng should develop its economy scientifically. I would also think that the growth population should be bought under control so that we’ll have a better hometown in future.
Yours,
Xiao Hua
