第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Britain and France are two important countries in Europe. They are neighbors, separated only by the 20-mile seaway of the English Channel. And for most of the time that the two countries have existed, the French and the British have been rivals or even enemies. One conflict between the two countries lasted over 100 years, and the British and French were at war through the 18th century.
There is no fighting now, of course. But there is still a strong sense of rivalry (敌对) between the two nations. That’s why a recent survey in the UK caused a major shock.
It revealed (揭露) that one third of the British people would like to live in France. It also showed that twenty-one percent of British people would actually prefer to have been born in France.
Many reasons were given. France has a better climate and a more relaxed lifestyle, with some of the longest holidays in Europe. It is thought to have better public services in every area from health to transport. People in France work shorter hours and enjoy longer vacations. And think of the food and wine!
Estimates (估计) of the numbers of Britons living in France range from 100,000 to half a million. But it is not one-way traffic. Around 15,000 French people per year come to live in Britain, mainly settling in London. They are attracted by higher pay in Britain, lower taxes, a more dynamic lifestyle. Now it seems that people can go to the place that suits them best.
1、Why do some British people like to live in France?
A．They prefer the longer holidays there.
B．England has the worst food in Europe.
C．France is not far away from England.
D．The two countries have always been friends.
2、Some French people mainly set in London because ________.
A．they like better the more dynamic lifestyle
B．they think there are better public services in it
C．they live in France for a long time
D．they can work shorter hours there
3、Which would be the most ideal way to live for people in both countries?
A．Work and live in France.
B．Work and live in London.
C．Work in London and live in France.
D．Work in France and live in London.
4、What a suggestion does the text give?
A．Both of the people like to move between two countries.
B．Both of the people are becoming more European.
C．The French are becoming more British.
D．The British are becoming more French.

B
Tim Ma's parents came to the United States from Taiwan in the 1970s. They opened a restaurant. It was not a success. They found success in America, however, in computers and engineering. In part because of their own experiences, Ma's parents hoped he would study to become an engineer or doctor. They wanted financial security for their child.
Growing up, Ma considered many professions – writer, fireman, even president. But he had a sense early on... ―I didn't want to be an engineer. However, Ma did well in math and science classes in high school and he ended up choosing to study electrical engineering in college.
Several engineering jobs later, though, Ma had a change of heart. He wanted to leave the engineering world behind and enter the restaurant business. It was in his blood. After all, his parents had owned a Chinese restaurant in Arkansas. His uncle also owned one in New York.
His parents, Ma says, could not understand why he would want to leave such a good job to open a restaurant. They had worked long hours but their own restaurant still failed. They kept asking, ―Why?
But Ma remained certain. He was going to do things differently than his parents. He was able to learn from their one major mistake as restaurant owners – they knew very little about the art of cooking. So, at age 30, Ma left engineering and returned to school – cooking school.
Ma soon learned that he enjoyed cooking. In 2009, Ma opened his first restaurant in Virginia. It is called Maple Avenue. At Maple Avenue, Ma cooked, cleaned the ovens, fixed equipment and paid bills. He worked long hours, seven days a week. His long hours paid off. Ma opened his fourth restaurant last year, Kyirisan in Washington, D．C．
Kyirisan's success is due to the creative menu and food, Ma says. But mostly it just comes from completely hard work. ―I think in this country you can create your own success, just by working hard. Not because you're smarter than anybody, not because you're more creative than anybody, just by working hard. And I think that's why a lot of people end up coming to America.
1、Why did Ma’s parents want him to become an engineer or doctor?
A．Their family had found success in engineering for generations.
B．They were tired of running a restaurant.
C．They thought it financially secure to be an engineer or doctor.
D．They wanted him to try a career different from theirs.
2、Why do a lot of people come to America?
A．They can learn many things. B．They can run their business creatively.
C．They can choose jobs freely. D．They can succeed through hard work.
3、What can be the best title for the text?
A．A suitable job B．Follow your heart
C．A successful business D．Create your own business
