四、阅读理解（每小题2分，满分30分）
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
46. 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.
47.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
48. 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
49. 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.
50.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
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 English 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.
51.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.

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.
53.What’s the traveling like in the tunnel?
A.Trains and cars can travel at 160 km/h.
B.People can travel by train 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.
54. 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

On a cold winter afternoon, Susan was walking home from a supermarket. She was feeling a little tired, as she was carrying her shopping bags.

One possible version:
Nowadays there are no classes at school on weekends. Students have more spare time than before.However,many of them can’t make good use of the time. Some spend time chatting online or playing computer games.Some read novels that are not good for them. Others play outside and never study.
As students,we should arrange our spare time properly.After finishing the homework on weekends,we should revise what we have learned and prepare the lessons for next week. It is also necessary for us to do some exercise and have a good rest.
In a word,we should make good use of the time to make our weekends much more colorful and meaningful.
