3.You've just come home,after living abroad for a few years.Since you've been away,has this country changed for the better-or for the worse?
If you've just arrived back in the UK after a fortnight's holiday,small changes have probably surprised you-anything from a local greengrocer suddenly being replaced by 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 even 15years living abroad?What changes in society can they see that the rest of us have hardly noticed-or now take for granted?To find out,we asked some people who recently returned.
Debi:When we left,Cheltenham,my home town,was a town of white,middle-class families-all very conservative (保守的).The town is now home to many eastern Europeans and lots of Australians,who come here mainly to work in hotels and tourism.There are even several shops only for foreigners.
Having been an immigrant (移民) myself,I admire people who go overseas to find a job.Maybe if I lived in an inner city where unemployment was high,I'd think differently,but I believe foreign settlers have improved this country because they're more open-minded and often work harder than the natives.
Christine:As we flew home over Britain,both of us remarked how green everything looked.But the differences between the place we'd left behind and the one we returned to were brought sharply into focus as soon as we landed.
To see policemen with guns in the airport for the first time was frightening-in Cyprus,they're very relaxed-and I got pulled over by customs officers just for taking a woolen sweater with some metal-made buttons out of my case in the arrivals hall.Everyone seemed to be on guard.Even the airport car-hire firm wanted a credit card rather than cash because they said their vehicles had been used by bank robbers.
But anyway,this is still a green,beautiful country.I just wish more people would appreciate what they've got.

51.After a short overseas holiday,people tend toA.
A.notice small changes      B.expect small changes
C.welcome small changes     D.exaggerate small changes
52.How does Debi look at the foreign settlers?B
A.Cautiously.B.Positively.C.Sceptically.D.Critically.
53.When arriving at the airport in Britain,Christine was shocked byC.
A.the relaxed policemen      B.the messy arrivals hall
C.the tight security         D.the bank robbers
54.Which might be the best title for the passage?B
A.Life in Britain.     B.Back in Britain.
C.Britain in Future.   D.Britain in Memory.

分析 文章大意:本文主要講述的是一些人在離開英國以后再回來的時(shí)候,對于故鄉(xiāng)發(fā)生的變化,自己是怎么理解的.為此,作者詢問了一些從國外回到英國的人(Debi和Christine).Debi認(rèn)為,原來的故鄉(xiāng)是保守的,但是現(xiàn)在很多東歐國家和澳大利亞的人來到這里工作,他們的到來改善了英國的一些情況;Christine認(rèn)為,回國之后發(fā)現(xiàn)這兒的一切看起來充滿了綠色,但是和Christine之前呆過的地方相比,這里的機(jī)場很嚴(yán)格.

解答 51.A  推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章第二段If you've just arrived back in the UK after a fortnight's holiday,small changes have probably surprised you-anything from a local greengrocer suddenly being replaced by a mobile-phone shop to someone in your street moving house.可知短期出國的人在回來的時(shí)候,會對小的變化很驚訝.所以他們回來是會注意到小的變化.故A正確.
52.B  推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章第五段最后2行I believe foreign settlers have improved this country because they're more open-minded and often work harder than the natives.可知她對于外來的移民評價(jià)很高,認(rèn)為他們更開放更努力.故B正確.
53.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第2段To see policemen with guns in the airport for the first time was frightening-in Cyprus,they're very relaxed-and I got pulled over by customs officers just for taking a woolen sweater with some metal-made buttons out of my case in the arrivals hall.可知她對于機(jī)場很嚴(yán)格的安檢很驚訝,就連羊毛衫上的金屬鈕扣也不放過.故C正確.
54.B 主旨大意題.文章主要講述的是離開英國的人在回來以后的感覺,故B正確.

點(diǎn)評 簡單推理判斷題要以表面文字為前提,以具體事實(shí)為依據(jù)進(jìn)行推理,做出判斷.這種推理方式比較直接,只要弄清事實(shí),即可結(jié)合常識推斷出合理的結(jié)論.

8.For those who make journeys across the world,the speed of travel today has turned the countries into a series of villages.Distances between them appear no greater to a modern traveler than those which once faced men as they walked from village to village.Jet planes fly people from one end of the earth to the other,allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago.
Yet some people wonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far.A price has been paid,they say,for the conquest (征服) of time and distance. Travel is something to be enjoyed,not endured(忍受).The boat offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the ever-changing sights and sounds of a journey.A journey by train also has a special charm about it.Lakes and forests and wild,open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing.On board a plane,however,there is just the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow window of the airplane.The soft lighting,in-flight films and gentle music make up the only world you know,and the hours progress slowly.
Then there is the time spent being"processed"at a modern airport.People are conveyed like robots along walkways; baggage is weighed,tickets produced,examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to another waiting area.Journeys by rail and sea take longer,yes,but the hours devoted to being"processed"at departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent.No wonder,then,that the modern high-speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.
Man,however,is now a world traveler and cannot turn his back on the airplane.The working lives of too many people depend upon it; whole new industries have been built around its design and operation.The holiday maker,too,with limited time to spend,patiently endures the busy airports and limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days,relaxing in the sun.speed controls people's lives; time saved,in work or play,is the important thing-or so we are told.Perhaps those first horsemen,riding free across the wild,open plains,were enjoying a better world than the one we know today.They could travel at will,and the clock was not their master.

71.What does the writer try to express in Paragraph 1?B
A.Travel by plane has speeded up the growth of villages.
B.The speed of modern travel has made distances relatively short.
C.The freedom of movement has helped people realize their dreams.
D.Man has been fond of traveling rather than staying in one place.
72.How does the writer support the underlined statement in Paragraph 2?D
A.By giving instructions.
B.By analyzing cause and effect.
C.By following the order of time.
D.By giving examples.
73.According to Paragraph 3,passengers are turning back to modern high-speed trains becauseD.
A.they pay less for the tickets
B.they feel safer during the travel
C.they can enjoy higher speed of travel
D.they don't have to waste time being"processed"
74.What does the last sentence of the passage mean?A
A.They could enjoy free and relaxing travel.
B.They needed the clock to tell the time.
C.They preferred traveling on horseback.
D.They could travel with their master.
75.What is the main idea of the passage?D
A.Air travel benefits people and industries.
B.Train Travel has some advantages over air travel.
C.Great changes have taken place in modern travel.
D.The high speed of air travel is gained at a cost.
