        Free and secure accommodation, no bills and even the odd home-cooked meals. It sounds like the
    perfect living arrangement for cash-strapped students.
        Two mothers believe they have devised a way for struggling students to save on accommodation
    costs when they leave home to study at university.
       Kate Barnham and Amanda Flude have launched Student Swaps,an online accommodation forum
    (论坛) for parents and students,in advance of the introduction in September of ~3,000 higher education
    top-up fees.
          Their website says,"The principle behind Student Swaps is to enable students to literally swap(交换)
    family homes. "The website will hold a database of students who would like to swap and link them with
    suitable matches. So those from one town/city could swap with those from a different town/city.
             The site describes itself as offering a" cost-free accommodation alternative...at a time of growing
    student debt". There is no charge for the service at the moment,but Ms Barnham and Ms Flude intend to
    introduce a ~10 annual fee if it becomes established.
           However,the National Union of Students ( NUS) has warned that,while the scheme may sound
    appealing to struggling freshers,it lacks any formal regulation.
              Veronica King,NUS vice-president of welfare,said, " The fact that this scheme has even been
    suggested is evidence to the high levels of debt students now face on graduation. " Recent research has
    shown that students are more likely to live at home in coming years,in a bid to cut down on the cost of
    a degree.
         "This is worrying,as it may mean that students choose their university on the basis of where it is,rather
    than because it offers the best course for them. It also means students will miss out on what is for
    some-a key part of the student experience-living away from home. "
    1. A" cash-strapped" student means one who _____.
    A. lacks money                      
    B. prefers to stay at home
    C. is careful with money        
    D. wants to change cash
    2. What is Kate Bamham and Amanda Flude's purpose of launching Student Swaps?   
    A. To provide cheaper accommodation for students.
    B. To let students stay close to their universities.
    C. To help students spend less on accommodation costs.
    D. To let students exchange ideas freely online.
    3. What can students do on Student Swaps?   
    A. They can find students to exchange homes with.
    B. They can make friends with students from a different city.
    C. They can borrow money to pay for their higher education.
    D. They can voice their opinions against the rising cost of a degree.
    4. Now many students would prefer a university  
    A. which can give them free accommodation
    B. which is not far away from their homes
    C. which offers the best courses
    D. which can offer home-cooked meals
    5. What would be the best title for the passage?  
    A. High Cost Troubles University Students in UK.
    B. Students Swaps is Welcomed by Students in UK.
    C. Two Mothers' Good Intention to Help Students in UK.
    D. Website Helps Students Live at Someone Else's Home.

         Nearly all the visitors to southeast France pay a visit a Monaco, too. Lying near the French-Italian
    border, Monaco is not part of France, but a separate principality (大公国)-though it is surrounded by
    its great neighbour.
         Monaco became a principality in the 16th century after being owned by a family member of a certain
    Italian king. The French and Italian, however, soon came to protect it one after another until 1861, when
    it became its own master again.
         Facing the blue Mediterranean (地中海), Monaco is mainly made up of two cities, Monaco, where
    the palace for the Prince stands, and Monte Carlo, which is a wonderful place for visitors. Every year,
    about half a million people come to Monaco, nearly 25 tiroes as much as its population.
         Believe it or not, Monaco has no soldiers or policemen of its own. Law and order is kept by the
    French police, and the French stand for it in its foreign affairs, even the money used in Monaco is the
    franc, too.
    1. Which of the following maps shows the right position of Monaco and its neighbouring countries?
    (Mc=Monaco, Fr==France, I=Italy, Md=Mediterranean)

    2. Monaco has a population of ____.

    A. nearly 25 thousand
    B. no more than 20 thousand
    C. about 12,500 thousand
    D. a little over 20 thousand
    3. Which of the following is TRUE?
    A. The national income of Monaco must be very little.
    B. Monaco isn't a completely independent country.
    C. A principality is a country ruled by foreigners.
    D. Monaco belongs to France since law and order is kept by the French police.
    4. Now the head of the government of Monaco is ____.
    A. an Italian
    B. a French
    C. a prince
    D. a president
