Practice 4　　For much of the past year, Europe has been divided over America and its war in Iraq. Now it is divided against itself. The chief culprits: France and Germany. The worm has turned. France and Germany assailed the United States for riding roughshod over other countries in the war on Iraq. Now they stand accused of being the America of Europe—a two-headed superpower that has the rest of the European Union lunging at its throat. Their supposed crimes: flouting EU economic rules, scripting to their design a constitution that was meant to be a Magna Carta for all of Europe and generally hijacking the great European project.　　Will the power of the Franco-German axis ebb? Only a year ago, the pair were at odds, largely for reasons of poor personal chemistry between Schroder and Chirac. Moreover, some European politicians expect their influence to wane as Europe expands and alliances begin to reknit in new configurations, often around specific issues—Iraq, say, or matters of trade and commerce. But that may be wishful thinking on the part of rivals. If anything, many Europeans believe, the changes in Europe will drive France and Germany closer together—precisely because their traditional nexus of power is threatened.
参考答案和解析
正确答案： 【参考译文】
去年大半年,欧洲在对美政策和美国发动的伊拉克战争问题上分崩离析,纷争不已。现在矛盾却来自欧洲内部。分歧的源头是法国和德国。欺人太甚终于惹祸上身。法国和德国曾经攻击美国在伊拉克战争上践踏他国利益。现在却被指责为“欧洲的美国”,两国统领形成一个超级大国,欧盟的其他国家纷纷群起而攻之。两国的罪状包括藐视欧盟的经济法规,按照自身意图拟订宪法却意欲使之成为整个欧洲的基本宪法,以及劫夺“大欧洲”。
法德为轴心的影响力是否会减弱?仅在一年前,法德两国互相抵触,主要原因是施罗德和希拉克彼此不和。另外,一些欧洲的政界人士也希望随着欧洲的扩张、联盟的重组,法德的影响力会日益减弱,尤其是在一些具体问题上,譬如说伊拉克问题、商贸问题等。然而那可能只是法德竞争对手单方面的希望。不管怎样,许多欧洲人认为,欧洲的变革会使法国和德国的关系更为紧密,其原因正是法德一直以来的核心地位受到了威胁。

第3题：

Popular breakfast foods in the United States, as in many other countries around the world, include coffee, milk, juice, eggs and bread. Some other breakfast items served in the United States are thought by many to be traditionally American. However, they actually come from other countries.

A very popular breakfast food in America is the pancake---a thin, flat cake made out of flour and often served with maple syrup. The idea of the pancake is very old. In fact, pancakes were made long ago in ancient China.

Bagels, a round thick bread with a hole in the middle, are also popular for breakfast in America. Polish people in the late 1600s came up with the idea for the first bagels and this new kind of bread soon took off across Eastern Europe.

In the late 1800s, thousands of Jews from Eastern Europe traveled to the United States and brought the recipe for bagels with them. Today, New York bagels are said to be the best in the world. Many people have them with cream cheese for breakfast on the go.

Doughnuts (usually spelled “donut” in the United States) came from France. They were served to American soldiers in France during World War Ⅰ(第一次世界大战). After the war, American soldiers asked cooks in the United States to make doughnuts for them. Now, served with coffee, they are a very popular breakfast food across the United States.

41. This reading is mainly about _______.

A. famous places in the United States to eat breakfast

B. popular American breakfast foods coming from China

C. the most popular types of pancakes in the United States

D. the history of popular breakfast foods in the United States

第5题：

Passage 1
Earlier this year, when America first sneezed, the European Central Bank （along with most private-sector economists） argued that the euro area was insulated from America's slowdown and had little to worry about. This seems to have wrong. In Germany there are fears about recession as business investment and retail sales tumble. Recent figures confirmed that Germany’s GDP stagnated in the second quarter. Italy's GDP fell in the second quarter, and although growth has held up better in France and Spain, the growth in the euro area as a whole was close to zero in the quarter. Nobody is forecasting an actual recession in the euro area this year, but it is no longer expected to provide an engine for world growth.
As for Japan, it is probably already in recession. Japan's GDP grew slightly in the first quarter. Persistent deflation continues to be a severe problem. A revised measure of Japan’s consumer-price index, to be published soon, is likely to show that deflation is worse than had been thought.

What was the economic situation in France and Spain?

A. Much better
B. Somewhat better.
C. Close to zero.
D. Much worse.

答案：B

第7题：

Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A) World population is increasing at a rate of 150 per minute.

B) Lower death rates also contribute to world population growth.

C) The population of Columbia has been doubling every year for 21 years.

D) The United States is usually doubling its population about every 87 years.


正确答案：C
答案：C
[试题分析] 事实判断题。
[详细解答] 根据第三段第一句World population is increasing at a rate of 9,000 per hour．可判断A世界人口每分钟增加150人正确；根据该段第二句This is not only due to higher birth rates，but to lower death rates as well．可判断B论断正确；而由第四段的Some countries，such as Columbia， Thailand，Morocco，Costa Rica，and the Philippines．are doubling their populations about every twenty-one years可判断， C哥伦比亚人口持续21年每年翻一番的论断混淆了事实，论断错误；D美国人口每87年翻一番可根据第三段第二句The United States is doubling its population about every eighty-seven years一句判断为正确论断。因此，本题答案为C。
