四、Reading Comprehension(共 4 道试题,共 40 分。)
1. The Extended Family
Mrs Sharp, a large, red-faced woman in her late sixties, has lived in Greenleas, a 'new town' in the
countryside outside London, since 1958. Before that she lived in Bethnal Green, an area of inner
London. She was moved to Greenleas by the local authorities when her old house was demolished.
She came from a large family with six girls and two boys, and she grew up among brothers, sisters,
uncles, aunts, grandparents and cousins. When she married her boyfriend from school at eighteen,
they went on living with her parents, and her first child was brought up more by her mother than by
herself, because she always worked.
As the family grew, they moved out of their parents' house to a flat. It was in the next street, and their
life was still that of the extended family. "All my family used to live around Denby Street," said Mrs
Sharp, "and we were always in and out of each other's houses." When she went to the shops, she
used to call in on her mother to see if she wanted anything. Every day she would visit one sister or
another and see a nephew or niece at the corner shop or in the market.
"You always knew 90% of the people you saw in the street everyday, either they were related to you
or you were at school with them," she said.
When her babies were born (she had two sons and a daughter), she said, "All my sisters and neighbours
would help – they used to come and make a cup of tea, or help in some other way." And every Saturday
night there was a family party. It was at Mrs Sharp's mother's house. "Of course we all know each other
very well. You have to learn to get on with each other. I had one neighbour who was always poking her
nose into our business. She was forever asking questions and gossiping. But you had to put up with
everyone, whatever they were like."
1). Why did Mrs. Sharp have to move to Greenleas?
A. Because she had to work there.
B. Because she didn't like the old place at all.
C. Because her house in the downtown area was knocked down.
D. Because she wanted to move to the countryside.
对的答案:C 满分:2 得分:2
2). When she got married, she lived __________.
A. together with her parents all the time
B. alone all the time
C. far away from her parents' house

对的答案:D 满分:2 得分:2
3). How did she know so many people?
A. Because she was easy going.
B. Because they were either her relatives or schoolmates.
C. Because she worked nearby.
D. Because she was good at making friends with people.
对的答案:B 满分:2 得分:2
4). The sentence "I had one neighbour who was always poking her nose into our business" in the <br/><br/>last paragraph Means __________.

2. 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 Britain's 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 Disraeli's statement is an understatement? Because he<br/><br/>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
对的答案: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.
对的答案: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 <br/><br/>EXCEPT that _________.
A. within 10 years 40% Londoners will be from ethnic minority groups
B. most of Britain's 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
对的答案: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
对的答案: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
对的答案:C 满分:2 得分:2
3. Paper was invented by the Chinese in the first century AD. Paper was not made in southern Europe
until about the year 1100. Scandinavia which now makes a great deal of the world's paper did not
begin to make it until 1500. Most paper is made from wood. Paper-making is an important British
industry and paper from Britain is sold to many countries such as Australia and South Africa. Some
of the wood used in the British paper making industry comes from trees grown in Britain, but wood
is also bought from other countries such as Norway. One tree is needed for every four hundred
copies of a forty-page newspaper. If half the adults in Britain buy one daily paper, this uses up
over a thousand trees a day. All over the world, trees are being cut down faster than they are being
planted, so there may be a serious need for paper at the beginning of next century.
When we think of paper, we think of newspaper, books, letters and writing paper. But there are many
other uses. Only half of paper is used for books and newspaper, etc. Paper is very good for keeping
you warm. Each year, more and more things are made of paper. Now we hear that chairs, tables, and
even beds can be made of paper. But the latest in paper making seems to be paper houses.
1). Where was paper invented?
A. In China.
B. In southern Europe.
C. In Scandinavia.
D. In Britain.

4. In the United States, 30 percent of the grown-up population has a “weight problem.” To many people,
the cause is clear: we eat too much. But scientific experiments do little to support this idea. Going
back to the America of 1910, we find that
