　　I fell in love with England because it was quaint(古雅)—all those little houses, looking terribly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls' houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved Lon don . I've slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it's an ugly town now.

　　Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen., fair play, and good manners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners—people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.

　　I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. Your're forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.

　　As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p.m. I used to use it, but now I'm afraid.

　　The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that's typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbor who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.

1．The writer doesn't like London because she ________ .

[　　]

A．is not used to the life there now

B．has lived there for seventeen years

C．prefers to live in an old-fashioned house

D．has to be polite to everyone she meets there

2．Where do people usually meet their friends in England?

[　　]

A．In a cafe.

B．In a restaurant.

C．In a nightclub.

D．In a pub.

3．The underlined part “it” (in Para. 4 )refers to ________ .

[　　]

A．a taxi

B．the money

C．a bomb

D．public transport

4．The writer took her neighbor to France for Christmas because he ________ .

[　　]

A．felt lonely in England

B．had never been to France

C．was from a typical French family

D．didn't like the British idea of family

　　A structure thought to be the world's oldest building has been discovered under the sea off the coast of Japan, and could be evidence of a previously unknown Stone Age civilization．

　　The monument dates back to at least 8,000 BC; the oldest pyramid in Egypt was constructed more than 5,000 years later．

　　The structure was first discovered under 75 feet of water by divers in 2000, and was believed to be a natural phenomenon．

　　Professor Masaki Kimura, the first to study the site, has concluded that the structure is man-made．"The object was not formed naturally．If that had been the case, we would have found pieces through erosion(腐蚀)around the site, but there is nothing there," he says．

　　The discovery of a road surrounding the building is further evidence that the structure was made by humans, along with small underwater stone tombs nearby．

　　Kimura says it is too early to know who built it or its purpose．"It might be an ancient religious shrine(神社), possibly celebrating an ancient god．And it could be evidence of a new culture, since there are no records of a people intelligent enough to have built such a monument 10,000 years ago; it could only have been done by people with a high degree of technology, probably coming from the Asian continent, where the oldest civilizations originated．"

　　Teruaki Ishii, a professor at Tokyo University, said the structure could be natural, but that part of it may have been made by humans．

　　The first signs of civilization in Japan date back to around 9,000 BC, but nothing in the archeological record suggests the presence of a culture advanced enough to have built such a structure．

　　Jim Mower, an archeologist at University College Lon-don, says, "If it's proved that the site is as old as 10,000 years and is man-made, then it's going to change an awful lot of the previous thinking on southeast Asian history．It would put the people who made the monument on equal terms with the ancient civilization of Mesopotamia(An an-cient region of southwest Asia)．"

(1)

Professor Masaki Kimura believes that the monument is man-made because ________． ①no pieces through erosion were found around it ②underwater stone tombs are nearby it ③a road surrounds it ④a shrine was built on it
[　　]
A．	①②④
B．	②③④
C．	①③④
D．	①②③

(2)

Which of the following is NOT true, according to the text?
[　　]
A．	The Japanese mastered advanced construction techniques 10,000 years ago．
B．	Professor Masaki Kimura was the first to study the monument．
C．	The purpose of the monument is still uncertain．
D．	The world抯 oldest civilizations originated in Asia．

(3)

[　　]
A．	The structure being man-made．
B．	The structure being a natural phenomenon．
C．	The structure having first been found ten years ago．
D．	The structure dating back to 8,000 BC．

(4)

What do we learn about the monument from the text?
[　　]
A．	It was made at least 5,000 years earlier than the oldest pyramid of Egypt．
B．	It was built by people from Europe．
C．	It抯 the first evidence of the ancient civilization of Mesopotamia．
D．	It has changed the history of human civilization．
