| 阅读理解。 | Chinatown is the name given to an area in the middle of London. It is just between Leicester Square
and Shaftsbury Avenue. Gerrard Street is at the center and is the most important street in the area. There
is a large Chinese community (社区) with a lot of Chinese restaurants, Chinese supermarkets and shops in
this street.
In the 1950s, it was a poor area and everything was very cheap. At the same time, the world rice
market changed and thousands of farm workers in Hong Kong lost their jobs. They began arriving in London
to look for work. They found jobs in the restaurants in this area. Many British people liked Chinese food, and
the restaurants were popular.
These restaurant workers often worked 17 hours a day and had no time to learn English. As more
Chinese arrived, more shops and businesses grew up. Wives came and joined their husbands and children
came and joined their fathers. The community grew, and Chinatown was born.
In the 1970s and 1980s, British-born Chinese started to have a better education and this brought
economic (经济的) success to the area. Many families moved out of Chinatown, and there was more space
for businesses. Gerrand Street became a street only for visitors and was soon a popular place for tourists.
Now everyone knows about London"s Chinatown. During the Chinese New Year, the streets are seen
with flags and thousands of Chinese go into the streets. For most of the year, though, Londoners and tourists
go there mainly for the food in the Chinese restaurants. The best restaurants are the ones where the Chinese
eat. | 1. Is this Chinatown in the middle of London?
________________________________________________
2. Was the area rich or poor in the 1950s?

3. Why did the restaurant workers have no time to learn English?

also need oil. Even our bicycles need oil. Indeed the whole world would stop if there was no oil. Today
there is a growing need for oil in the world. So people are looking for it everywhere. They look for oil
in deserts, in the mountains and under the sea. Quite often they find nothing, but the search for oil always
goes on. What are the largest oil producers in the world? The U.S, the U.S.S.R., and countries of the
Middle East. But China is catching up fast. Before liberation we used to buy nearly all our oil from the U.S.

Now in the 21st century, advertising is more and more important for people. Why? I think it is because
through advertising, people, especially the businessmen, can introduce their products to the people all over
the world. Because of this, many companies spend a lot of money on advertising. As we all know, there are
many advertisements which are very interesting and popular. For example, Michael Jordan made an interesting
advertisement for Nike. From this you can see how the companies make their products known to the world.
People can make a lot of money through advertising. It is known that many famous singers and movie
stars make money in this way. However, I don"t think this is a good way for them to make money, because
they are not the professional (职业的) advertisers, especially those who advertise in medicine advertisements.
Nowadays, advertising not only means making the products known, but also means making ourselves
known to people around us. Living today, we have to make people believe in us if we want to do important
jobs. But how can this be done? We should first let other people know our good side: the good habits and
abilities we have. In short, we should always remember to advertise ourselves to others. As I said before,
advertising is not only important for companies but also for everyone, for all human beings. This is the most
interesting thing about advertising. | | 1. The best topic to fill in the line in the first paragraph is "____________". | A. The Importance of Advertising
B. Making Money through Advertising
C. Advertising Ourselves
D. Advice on Advertisements | | 2. This passage may be a (an) ____________. | A. advertisement
B. story
C. speech
D. report | | 3. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT right? | A. Many companies are willing to spend money on advertising.
B. Advertising can make some people rich.
C. People can introduce their products through advertisements.
D. Advertising is not necessary for anyone. | | 阅读理解。 | Taiwan appears in newspaper headlines more often these days. On April 26, 2005 Kuomintang leader,
Lien Chan, visited the mainland and three days later, President Hu Jintao held talks with him. This is the first
meeting in 56 years and may help to bring peace across the Taiwan Straits (海峡).
How much do you know about this beautiful island? The island faces Fujian. The shortest distance from
Taiwan to Fujian is 130 kilometers across the Taiwan Straits. A ship can cover it in four hours.
As the biggest island, Taiwan is still only about one-sixth the size of Hunan. Around it, there are also lots
of smaller ones, like Penghu Islands and Diaoyu Islands.
Taiwan is rich in natural resources (资源). Half of the island is covered with forests, and it has many kinds
of agricultural products (农产品), like rice and tea.
Taiwanese people are mostly descendants (后代) of people from Fujian and Guangdong. They still use the
language from their old hometowns. They also celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival.
At the Spring Festival, they even eat dumplings!
Once, communications across the Straits were not so good. In 1979, Beijing put forward an idea that
Taiwanese people should use better ways of communicating and build better business and transportation.
There is now more business and tourism (旅游业) across the Straits. On July 4, 2008, the first direct flights
between Taiwan and five mainland cities such as Beijing, Shanghai Nanjing, Guangzhou and Xiamen started up.
As we all know, Taiwan is always an important part of our country. We are one big family. But some top
leaders in Taiwan like Lee Tenghui and Chen Shuibian have been trying to make Taiwan an independent (独立)
country. This made people on both sides angry, because it goes against the history and the wishes of all the
Chinese. | | 1. What will Hu Jintao"s talk with Lien Chan bring across the Taiwan Straits? | A. Resources.
B. Meetings.
C. Tourism.
D. Peace. | | 2. How long does it take to go to Taiwan from Fujian by ship? | A. 56 years.
B. 26 days.
C. 4 hours.
D. 130 hours. | | 3. Why do most Taiwanese celebrate Chinese traditional festivals? | A. Because they like eating traditional Chinese food very much.
B. Because they are Chinese in fact.
C. Because they would rather celebrate Chinese festivals than Western festivals.
D. Because Chinese traditional festivals are popular in the world now. | | 4. What made people on both sides angry? | A. There were no important meetings between the leaders on both sides.
B. There was no business and tourism across the Straits for many years.
C. People on both sides couldn"t visit each other by air.
D. Some top leaders in Taiwan have been trying to make Taiwan an independent country. | | 5. Which of the following is the best title (标题) of the passage? | A. The Beautiful Island
