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 not 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?
9．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
10．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
11．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
12．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.
13．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.
14．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
15．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
16．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

Suppose you are reading a book. Suppose, too, you suddenly close your eyes. Can you still see the book? “Of course not,” you will say. But can you tell why? You would probably say, “When I close my eyes, my eyesight cannot get out of my eyes to get to the book.” But this explanation is wrong.
You cannot see any object unless light from that object gets into your eyes. Some of the things you see give off light of their own. The sun, the stars, a lighted lamp are examlpes that can be seen by their own light. Such things are luminous. Most of the things you see are not giving off light of their own. They are simply reflecting（反射的）light that falls on them from the sun or some other luminous body. The moon, for example, does not give off any light of its own. It is nonluminous. You see it because sunlight falls on it and some of it reflects in your direction. So moonlight is only secondhand sunlight.
When you look at a book, it sends to your eyes some of the light which falls on it, and you see the book. If light could be kept out from where you are so that there would be no light for the book to reflect, then you could not see the book even with your eyes wide open.
Light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you are reading to your eyes is so short as if there were no time at all. Light reaches us from the moon, which is about 380, 000 kilometres away, in only a little more than a second.
17．You can not see the book when you close your eyes, because________.
A. your eyes are too close to it
B. closed eyes are out of sight
C. your eyesight cannot get to it
D. the light from it cannot get into your eyes
18．The word “luminous” means________ .
A. visible B. lighted
C. giving off light D. sunlight
19．Light travels about ________ kilometres per second.
A. 380,000 B. 300,000 C. 400,000 D. 190,000
20．Which of the following is TRUE? ________.
A. All the things you can see give off light.
B. Light from the book is much shorter than that from the moon.
C. The moment you open your eyes the light from the book travels to your eyes.
D. Light travels so fast that there is no time for you to read.
