阅读理解。     When I was going home to India last year, I called up my mother to ask if she wanted anything from
China.
     When India had not opened up its markets to the world, I carried suitcase loads of dark glasses and
jeans. Thankfully, we can get all these anywhere in India now.
     Still, her answer surprised me: "Green tea."
     As long as I can remember she didn"t even drink Indian tea.
     I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story. My mother and her
brother, both regular newspaper readers, believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all
illnesses.
     At the turn of the century, China was not really familiar to the average Indian. It was a strange
country.
     How things change! And how soon! Now every town of any size seems to have a "China Market".
And everyone is talking about China. The govemment of Indin has planned to send a team to China to
see how things are done. A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign
investment (投资) and such a step would "work wonders as it did for China".
     But it"s a two-way street. I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone
to Bangalore to train in software. Meanwhile, all the Indian IT majors are setting up a strong presence
in China.
     No wonder that trade, which was only in the millions just ten years ago, is expected to hit about
US $15 billion for last year and US $20 billion by 2008, a goal set by both governments. No wonder,
my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this being the Sino-Indian (中印) century as the two
countries started on January 1 the Sino-Indian Friendship Year. But what is still a wonder to me is
my mother drinking Chinese tea. 1. The reason why the writer"s mother asked for Chinese green tea is that _____.[     ]
A. she had a son working in China
B. she believed it had a curing effect
C. she enjoyed Chinese products
D. she was tired of Indian tea 2. The underlined part "it"s a two-way street" in Paragraph 8 probably means _____. [     ]
A. The exchanges between Indian and China benefit both
B. China and India have different traffic rules
C. Tea trade works wonders in both India and China
D. Chinese produces are popular in both China and India 3. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.[     ]
A. the author was concerned for his mother"s health
B. the author was in favor of drinking Chinese green tea
C. the author was surprised at China"s recent development
D. the author was curious about the growth of India"s IT industry

阅读理解。     As prices and building costs keep rising, the "do-it-yourself" (DIY) trend (趋势) in the U.S. continues to
grow. "We needed furniture for our living room," says John Ross, "and we just didn"t have enough money to
buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs." John got married six months ago, and like many
young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high.

repairs around the house.

factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $ 420. "I was deeply upset about it. Now I"ve finished a
car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself."

money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a "do-it-yourselfer", you can go to

阅读理解。    When he stopped his car at a traffic light in Basra, Bassam Rady noticed the motorbike with two riders on
it passed by him slowly. Suddenly the bike turned round and Mr. Rady, feeling dangerous, tried to drive off.
Before he could, a man on the back of the bike took out a gun from his jacket and fired. The bullet went
through the windscreen and just missed him. As he sped away another shot was fired, but missed the car.
    Mr. Rady was a interpreter for British army in Iraq. As such, his life is in danger from the militia that once
controlled the Iraqi city and is now returning.
    More than a year ago Iraqi soldiers, backed by US, brought peace and stability to Basra by driving militants
over the Iranian border in an operation called Charge of the Knights.
    According to local estimates, however, about half have returned. Although they have not become as active
as before, the militants are trying to shoot Iraqi citizens who worked with British. Most in danger are
translators such as Mr. Rady.
    The 31-year-old father worked with soldiers on dangerous missions but was refused resettlement in Britain
at the end of his employment. He worked with nine translators. Seven of them have been killed.
    "I"m like a cancer patient-now that the militia is back, my family is just waiting for me to die," Mr. Rady
said. "I see reports in the media that Basra is safe but it"s not true. I know these militia people. I went to
school with some of them. I didn"t see them for a year but now they are around again. They have told me,
"Your day will come soon"." He takes security precautions and never follows a routine. This means that he
cannot work because that would give the militants a better chance of success.
    Militiamen belonging to the alMahdi Army took control of Basra between 2004 and 2007 with other Shia
fighters. They enforced strict Islamic rules at the same time as running criminal rackets. British army was
unable or unwilling to fight back and eventually went back to their base at the airport. 1. Mr. Bassam Rady was _____. [     ]
A. a motorbike rider

阅读理解。    To swim across the English Channel takes at least nine hours. It"s hard work and it makes you short of
breath. To fly over the channel takes only twenty minutes as long as you"re not held up at the airport, but
it"s an expensive way to travel. You can travel by hovercraft (气垫船) if you don"t mind the noise and that
takes forty minutes. Otherwise, you can go by boat, if you remember your sea-sickness pills. All these means
of transport have their problems, and the weary (厌烦的) traveler often dreams of being able to drive to
France in his 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 great London Council (议会) 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 by rail or by car on a bridge, yet a tunnel would provide a rail link only.
     Why is this idea being discussed again? Is Britain realizing the need for links with Europe as a result of
joining EEC (欧洲经济共同体)? Well, perhaps, the main reason, though, is that a tunnel or bridge would
reach the twenty square kilometers of London"s discussed dockland (船坞). A link from London to the
continent would stimulate (刺激) trade and revitalize (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! 1. The weary traveler thinks the best way to cross the Channel is _____.[     ]
A. by swimming
B. in his own car
C. by air
D. by hovercraft 2. According to the passage, a link from London to the continent would be _____. [     ]
A. necessary for its trade
B. important for its politics
C. useful for its industry
D. helpful for its culture 3. The main idea of the passage is _____. [     ]
A. how to develop the trade of London
B. when to cross the Channel
C. how to get to Europe from London more conveniently
D. what to do in the developing of traveling
