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:本文主要讲述的是一些人在离开英国以后再回来的时候,对于故乡发生的变化,自己是怎么理解的.为此,作者询问了一些从国外回到英国的人(Debi和Christine).Debi认为,原来的故乡是保守的,但是现在很多东欧国家和澳大利亚的人来到这里工作,他们的到来改善了英国的一些情况;Christine认为,回国之后发现这儿的一切看起来充满了绿色,但是和Christine之前呆过的地方相比,这里的机场很严格.

解答 51.A  推理判断题.根据文章第二段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.可知短期出国的人在回来的时候,会对小的变化很惊讶.所以他们回来是会注意到小的变化.故A正确.
52.B  推理判断题.根据文章第五段最后2行I believe foreign settlers have improved this country because they're more open-minded and often work harder than the natives.可知她对于外来的移民评价很高,认为他们更开放更努力.故B正确.
53.C 细节理解题.根据文章倒数第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.可知她对于机场很严格的安检很惊讶,就连羊毛衫上的金属钮扣也不放过.故C正确.
54.B 主旨大意题.文章主要讲述的是离开英国的人在回来以后的感觉,故B正确.

点评 简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提,以具体事实为依据进行推理,做出判断.这种推理方式比较直接,只要弄清事实,即可结合常识推断出合理的结论.

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.

A.Travel by plane has speeded up the growth of villages.
B.The speed of modern travel has made distances relatively short.

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
