第1题：
Benjamin Disraeli, the famous nineteenth century prime minister, said, "London is not a city, - it is a nation." Today this is an understatementLondon, 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 travelers" without leaving their home-town.

第二篇
Across the English Channel
To swim across the English Channel takes at least nine hours.It's a hard work and it makes you short of breath.To fly over the Channel takes only twenty minutes(as only as you're not held up at the airport),but it's an expensive way to travel.You can travel by hovercraft if you don't mind the noise,and that takes forty minutes.Otherwise you can go by boat,if you dreams of being able to drive to France in your own car."Not possible",you say.Well wait a minute.People are once again considering the idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge.
This time,the Greater London Council is looking into the possibility of building a Channel link straight to London.A bridge would cost far more than a tunnel, but you would be able to go by rail or by car on a bridge,whereas a tunnel would provide a rail link only.
Why is this idea being discussed again?Is Britain becoming more conscious of the need for links with Europe as a result of joining the EEC（欧共体）?Well, perhaps. The main reason, though,is that a tunnel or bridge would reach the twenty square kilometers of London's disused dockland（船坞地）.A link from London to the continent would stimulate trade and re-vitalize（使······重新具有活力）the port, and would make London a main trading center in Europe. With a link over the Channel,you could buy your fish and chips in England and be able to eat them in France while they are still warm!
A:allow us to by fish and chips in France
B:make the journey from Europe to England dangerous but easier and faster
C:decrease more trade for London's dockyards
D:make London more prosperous again
第二段提到“隧道却只能行驶火车”，所以选C。
第三段提到“伦敦20平方公里废弃的船坞地”，所以选A。
第三段提到“伦敦与欧洲大陆的连接将刺激贸易，使港口恢复生机，使伦敦成为欧洲重要的贸易中心”，即使伦敦更加繁荣。所以选D。
第一段介绍“游泳穿越英吉利海峡至少需要9小时”，所以A项是错误的。第一段结尾提到“人们正在重新考虑建造海底隧道或海底桥”，说明建造海底隧道的想法不是新的，所以B项是错的。比较各种穿越海峡的方式所花费的时间，可以得出游泳穿越海峡是最困难的，所以C项是对的。第三段提到“隧道或者桥将通往伦敦20平方公里废弃的船坞地”，并不只是到达海岸，所以D项是错的
