His ticket, he said, was stolen 5 before the train crossed the international 6 . At that time and in that territory he was unwilling to mention the incident to the local railway authorities or cancel the 7 of his journey, in 8 of the severe maltreatment to which he might be subjected.

Finally, one of my customers lost her job because her child was very sick and she couldnt go to work. The family had no money, so they wanted to cancel the contract. My boss sued the customer. I thought it was awful that the company only cared about money, so I resigned. A: Why did you become a journalist? B: I went to a local newspaper and asked for a job. The editor said, "Go and get me a story now". I walked out of the office and by chance saw three police cars and an ambulance racing down the road. I followed them and saw a big accident. At that moment another car raced round the corner, ran over the two casualties and hit the police car which was stopping the traffic. I wrote the story "Horror at Death Bend" and I got the job. As a journalist the worst thing was that you were always looking for terrible things so that you could report them. A: Why did you give up journalism to sail full-time? B: When I was in Moscow before the fall of Gorbachev, I listened to journalists who were excited about the changes in Russia, and I knew it was time to give up. What I hated most was their excitement – I was bored. Anyway, shortly before that, I had started going out with another keen sailor. I was 45 years old. She was much younger and we decided to sail off into the sunset. A: Why did you start child minding? B: After many long sea adventures and after our first child was born, I didnt want to go back to a proper job. What I like most is that I am with our children all day, so I started looking after other children whose parents went out to work. A: Is it hard work? B: Not too hard. The best thing is that the children usually amuse each other. Sometimes its as chaotic as war reporting! What I enjoy most is at 7.30 in the evening, the children go to bed and my wife and I have a large glass of wine. It doesnt matter that we hardly ever leave the village now. The most important thing for me is that I am with my family and that I can watch my children grow up. 1). Why did he (the second speaker) give up his first job? A.

Benjamin Disraeli, the famous nineteenth century prime minister, said, "London is not a city, - it is a nation." Today this is an understatement; London, with its vast range of different ethnic groups, is a world. Certainly, London is the most culturally diverse city in the world. The city was founded by the Romans and since then new arrivals have constantly added to its character and prosperity. Within 10 years 40% of Londoners will be from ethnic minority groups, including the growing number of Londoners of mixed ethnic origin, but most of them will have been born in Britain. Children of Caribbean-Chinese marriages will go to school with children of Russian-Irish couples. None of them will be English but all of them will be Londoners. Most of Britains ethnic minority residents live in the capital, speaking over 300 languages. Nearly all of the African population and many of the Caribbean population of Britain live in London (83% and 58% respectively); 39% of the Chinese population of Britain and 36% of the Asian population of Britain live in London. The largest migrant community is from the Irish Republic with 256,000 people, 3.8% of the total population of London. There are an estimated 330,000 refugees and asylum seekers living in London, with most recent arrivals coming from Eastern Europe, North Africa and Kurdistan. Young people, in particular, are skilled at dealing with a large number of different and hybrid cultures. They themselves often have several different ethnic identities since their parents and grandparents may come from several different backgrounds and their friends and partners do also. They are "skilled cross-cultural travellers" without leaving their home-town. 1). Why does the writer think that Benjamin Disraelis statement is an understatement? Because he

thinks London is _________. A. part of the world B. even larger than some countries in the world C. not a nation at all D. a miniature world thanks to its great cultural diversity 正确答案：D 满分：2 得分：2 2). Why does the writer think new arrivals are an advantage to London? A. Because they have regularly increased its character and prosperity. B. Because they speak different languages. C. Because they are superior to Londoners in many aspects. D. Because they are unique ethnic minority groups. 正确答案：A 满分：2 得分：2 3). London is regarded as the most culturally diverse city in the world due to the following facts

EXCEPT that _________. A. within 10 years 40% Londoners will be from ethnic minority groups B. most of Britains ethnic minority residents live in London, speaking over 300 languages C. London accommodates about 330,000 refugees and asylum seekers from many other countries D. many young people are immigrants from different backgrounds 正确答案：D 满分：2 得分：2 4). The last paragraph mainly tells us in London _________. A. young people are from different backgrounds B. young people are raised in a multicultural environment C. young people find it hard to adapt themselves to hybrid cultures D. young people feel at ease with a large number of diversified cultures 正确答案：D 满分：2 得分：2 5). The passage mainly deals with _________. A. the advantage of hybrid cultures in London B. the composition of the population in London C. the cultural diversity in London D. the contribution made by the new arrivals to London 正确答案：C 满分：2 得分：2 3. The entertainment profession, or "show business", attracts many young people. Unfortunately, only very few can hope to become famous and rich. Talent is not enough, because show business is as competitive as any other business. Without a good manager, a performer can never hope to succeed. Fashion is important in this business, too. The best tailor in this world will never be a success if he makes old-fashioned clothes. In exactly the same way, a performer must change his act in order to follow the taste of the moment. This is true for all performers: actors, dancers and perhaps most of all, for singers. "Pop" stands for "popular", and a pop singer has to work very hard to become popular. He must either give the public what they already want, or he must find a new way of singing that will attract their attention. Even when he has succeeded, and his CDs are sold everywhere, he cannot relax. Then he must work harder than ever to stay popular, because there are always younger singers trying to become famous and to steal some of the popularity. The life of a successful pop singer is not at all easy. He can only relax when he is alone, because everything he does is watched and reported in a special newspaper written for the fans. The fans are the most important people in the world for the singer. They buy his CDs or VCDs. They go to his concerts, and watch his MTV. And it is they who make the singer rich and famous. But they can be very annoying too. Sometimes their enthusiasm gets so wild and mad that they do anything to attract attention and their behavior is as uncontrolled as possible. They shout and cry very loudly during the performance. In ord
