Good afternoon, and welcome to England. We hope that your visit here will be a pleasant one. Today, I would like to draw your attention to a few of our laws.
The first one is about drinking. Now, you may not buy alcohol in this country if you are under 18 years of age, nor may your friends buy it for you.
Secondly, noise. Enjoy yourselves by all means, but please don't make unnecessary noise, particularly at night. We ask you to respect other people who may wish to be quiet.
Thirdly, crossing the road. Be careful. The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country. Use pedestrian crossing and do not take any chances when crossing the road. My next point is about litter(throwing away waste material in a public place). It is an offence to drop litter in the street.
When you have something to throw away, please put it in your pocket and take it home, or put it in a litter bin. Finally, as regards smoking, it is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco if you are under 16 years of age.
I'd like to finish by saying that if you require any sort of help or assistance, you should contact your local police station, who will be pleased to help you.

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan–-- Afghans burned tires and chanted “Death to America” after U.S troops fired Monday(April 12, 2010) on a civilian bus near Kandahar, killing four people and wounding more than a dozen. Afghanistan’s president accused NATO of breaking its commitment to safeguard civilian lives.
The attack angered Afghan officials and the public in Kandahar, the Taliban’s birthplace, and dealt a blow to U.S and NATO efforts to win popular support for a coming offensive to drive the insurgents(叛乱分子) from the biggest city in the south. NATO expressed regret for the loss of civilian lives and said it was investigating.
Nearly 200 Afghans blocked highway where the shooting occurred, burning tires, firing weapons and chanting “Death to America” and other slogans. They also called for the ouster (forcing somebody out of a pasition) of Afghan President Hamid Karzai, a Kandahar native who has been appealing for the people here to support the U.S-led campaign against the Taliban.
“The Americans are constantly killing our civilians and the government is not demanding an explanation,” protester Mohammad Razaq said. “We demand justice from the Karzai government and the punishment of those soldiers responsible.”
Kandahar, a city of about a half million people, is nominally under government control, but the Taliban have stepped up infiltration(浸润), staging attacks and threatening local people.
“These foreigners have their enemies, but killing Afghans is not the answer,” said Abdul Hadi, who sells homemade herbal medicine in a public market. He said international forces should publish a schedule of their patrols(巡逻) so Afghans can keep out of the way.
“Better yet, I would like to see them leave Afghanistan,” he added.
Haji Zahir, who runs a transport firm, said it was time for U.S. and other foreign forces to withdraw from the country.
“They say they want to bring security. It is all lies, lies. They kill Afghans. That is not the way to bring security,” Zahir said.
46.According to the passage, we can safely conclude that____________.
A.American soldiers are killing Talibans effectively
B.Anger rises as US troops kill 4 Afghans on a bus
C.NATO expressed great dissatisfaction with American troops
D.Afghan President Hamid Karzai required NATO to withdraw
47.The underlined word in Paragraph 5 nominally most probably means____________.
A.completely unknown to the people in the world
B.partially well-known to the people across the globe
C.bearing the name of a famous person around the world
D.officially described as something, when this is not really true
48.As for NATO soldiers’ rude action, Abdul Hadi is ____________.
A.absolutely angry and upset B.a little pleased but impatient
C.very angry and dissatisfied D.impatient but bearable
49.We can infer from the passage that____________
A.NATO troops can completely control Afghanistan
B.NATO troops can bring security to Afghanistan
C.Afghans will accept NATO’s control sooner or later
D.it’s impossible for NATO to conquer Afghanistan and its people
50.Which statement is true according to the passage?

B.Kandahar is the most important city in Afghanistan.
C.NATO has really brought security to Afghanistan.
D.NATO troops will withdraw from Afghanistan in the near future.
