for the betteror for the worse?If youve just arrived back in the UK after a fortnights holiday,small changeshave probably surprised youanything from a local greengrocer suddenly being replacedby a mobile-phone shop to someone in your street moving house.So how have things changed to people coming back to Britain after seven,ten or even15 years living abroad?What changes in society can they see that the rest of us havehardly noticedor now take for granted?To find out,we asked some people who recentlyreturned.Debi:When we left,Cheltenham,my home town,was a town of white,middle-classfamiliesall veryconservative(保守的).The town is now home to many eastern Europeansand lots of Australians,who come here mainly to work in hotels and tourism.There areeven several shops only for foreigners.Having been animmigrant(移民)myself,I admire people who go overseas to find ajob.Maybe if I lived in an inner city where unemployment was high,Id think differently,but I believe foreign settlers have improved this country because theyre moreopen-minded and often work harder than the natives.Christine:As we flew home over Britain,both of us remarked how green everythinglooked.But the differences between the place wed left behind and the one we returnedto were brought sharply into focus as soon as we landed.To see policemen with guns in the airport for the first time was frighteningin Cyprus,theyre very relaxedand I got pulled over by customs officers just for taking a woolensweater with some metal-made buttons out of my case in the arrivals hall.Everyone seemedto be on guard.Even the airport car-hire firm wanted a credit card rather than cash becausethey said their vehicles had been used by bank robbers.But anyway,this is still a green,beautiful country.I just wish more people wouldappreciate what theyve got.51.After a short overseas holiday,people tend to _.A.notice small changesB.expect small changesC.welcome small changesD.exaggerate small changes52.How does Debi look at the foreign settlers?A.Cautiously.B.Positively.C.Sceptically.D.Critically.53.When arriving at the airport in Britain,Christine was shocked by _.A.the relaxed policemenB.the messy arrivals hallC.the tight securityD.the bank robbers54.Which might be the best title for the passage?A.Life in Britain.B.Back in Britain.C.Britain in Future.D.Britain in Memory.B BWhen my brother and I were young,my mom would take us on Transportation Days.It goes like this:You cant take any means of transportation more than once.Wewould start from home,walking two blocks to the rail station.Wed take the train intothe city center,then a bus,switching to the tram,then maybe a taxi.We always consideredtaking a horse carriage in the historic district,but we didnt like the way the horseswere treated,so we never did.At the end of the day,we took the subway to our closeststation,where Moms friend was waiting to give us a ride homeour first car ride ofthe day.The good thing about Transportation Days is not only that Mom taught us how to getaround.She was born to bemultimodal(多方式的).She understood that depending on carsonly was a failure of imagination and,above all,a failure of confidencethe productof a childhood not spent exploring subway tunnels.Once you learn the route map and step with certainty over the gap between the trainand the platform,nothing is frightening anymore.New cities are just light-rail linesto be explored.And your personal car,if you have one,becomes just one more tool inthe toolboxand often an inadequate one,limiting both your mobility and your wallet.On Transportation Days,we might stop for lunch on Chestnut Street or buy a new bookor toy,but the transportation was the point.First,it was exciting enough to watch theworld speed by from the train window.As I got older,my mom helped me unlock the mysteriesthat would otherwise have paralyzed my first attempts to do it myself:How do I know whereto get off?How do I know how much it costs?How do I know when I need tickets,and whereto get them?What track,what line,which direction,wheres the stop,and will I getwet when we go under the river?Im writing this right now on an airplane,a means we didnt try on ourTransportation Days and,we now know,the dirtiest and most polluting of them all.Myflight routed me through Philadelphia.My multimodal mom met me for dinner in the airport.She took a train to meet me.55.Which was forbidden by Mom on Transportation Days?A.Having a car ride.B.Taking the train twice.C.Buying more than one toy.D.Touring the historic district.56.According to the writer,what was the greatest benefit of her Transportation Days?A.Building confidence in herself.B.Reducing her use of private cars.C.Developing her sense of direction.D.Giving her knowledge about vehicles.57.The underlined word“paralyzed”(in Para.5)is closest in meaning to“_”.A.displayedB.justifiedC.ignoredD.ruined58.Which means of transportation does the writer probably disapprove of?A.Airplane.B.Subway.C.Tram.D.Car.C CIt was a simple letter asking for a place to study at Scotlands oldest universitywhich helped start a revolution in higher education.A 140-year-old letter written bya lady calling for her to be allowed to study medicine at St Andrews University has beendiscovered by researchers.Written by Sophia Jex-Blake in 1873,the seven-page document,which urged the university to allow women to study medicine at the institution,wasreleased yesterday on International Womens Day.The document was discovered buried in the universityarchives(档案)by part-timehistory student Lis Smith,who is completing her PhD at St Andrews Institute of ScottishHistorical Research.She said:“We knew that Sophia Jex-Blake and her supporters,intheir effort to open up university medical education for women,had written to theSenatusAcademicus(校评议委员会)at St Andrews in an attempt to gain permission to attend classesthere,but we didnt know documentary evidence existed.While searching the archivesfor information about the universitys higher certificate for women,I was astonishedto come across what must be the very letter Jex-Blake wrote.”In the letter,Sophia and her supporters offered to hire teachers or build suitablebuildings for a medical school and to arrange for lectures to be delivered in the subjectsnot already covered at St Andrews.Although her letter was not successful,it eventuallyled to the establishment of the Ladies Literate in Arts at St Andrews,a distance-learningdegree for women.The qualification,which ran from 1877 until the 1930s,gave women accessto university education in the days before they were admitted as students.It was sopopular that it survived long after women were admitted as full students to St Andrewsin 1892.Ms Jex-Blake went on to help establish the London School of Medicine for Women in1874.She was accepted by the University of Berne,where she was awarded a medical degreein January 1877.Eventually,she moved back to Edinburgh and opened her own practice.59.Sophia wrote a letter to St Andrews University because she wanted _.A.to carry out a research project thereB.to set up a medical institute thereC.to study medicine thereD.to deliver lectures there60.Lis Smith found Sophias letter to St Andrews University _.A.by pure chanceB.in the school officeC.with her supporters helpD.while reading history books61.Sophias letter resulted in the establishment of _.A.the London School of Medicine for WomenB.a degree programme for womenC.a system of medical educationD.the University of Berne62.When did St Andrews University begin to take full-time women students?A.In 1873.B.
