二. 閱讀理解：
（A）
London- A morning’s train ride away, across the Channel, English kids about Liverpool’s soccer team in a Paris pub.
Some Parisians have even started to go to work in London.
In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two great rival cities, London and Paris, in “A Tale of Two Cities.” These days, it might be A Tale of One City.
Parisians are these days likely to smile in sympathy at a visitor’s broken French and respond in polite English.
As jobs grew lack at home over recent years, perhaps 250,000 Frenchmen moved across the Channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours. The European Union freed them from immigration and customs.
Paris, rich in beauty, is more attractive. But London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down.
“For me, the difference is that London is real, alive,” said Trevor Wheeler, a banker.
Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agrees. “I am French, but I’ll stay in London.” She said.
There is, of course, the other view, Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago. “I think people laugh more Paris,” she said.
In fact, London and Paris, with their obvious new similarities, are beyond the old descriptions. As the European Union gradually loosened controls, Londoners flocked into Paris to shop, eat and buy property.
“Both cities have changed beyond recognition.” Said Larry Collins, a writer and sometimes a Londoner.
Like most people who know both well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably.
“I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s, and it is still a wonderful place,” Collins said.
“but if I had to choose, it would be London. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better.”
But certainly not cheaper.
In fancy parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris.
Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice.
Like Daphne Benoit, a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be close enough so they don’t have to choose.
“I love Paris, my little neighborhood, the way I can walk around a center, but life is so structured,” she said. “ In London, you can be who you want. No one cares.”
1. The best title for this passage is _____.
A. Londoner and Parisians. B. A modern Tale of Two Cities.
C. The Similarity of Two cities. D. Fancy London and Fashionable Paris.
2. We can infer from the text ____.
A. Paris and London has become perfect partners.
B. London feels more full of life
C. life in Paris is structured
D. Paris and London have become fierce competitors.
3. The underlined word “flocked” probably means ____.
A. came in large numbers. B. flew a long way.
C. rushed hurriedly. D. drove long distance.
4. Living in Paris, you may find ___.
A. life is better. B. things are cheaper.
C. more attractive people D. a job easily.
5. From the passage we can know ___.
A. the two cities have developed very fast.
B. London is better than in Paris.
C. Paris is a favorite place for all journalism students.
D. people in both London and Paris now lead a regular life.
（B）
People could land on Mars in the next 20-30 years provided scientists can find water on the red planet, the head of NASA’s surface exploration mission（美國國家宇航局地表探測任務小組）said on September 16.
Two partly solar-powered “robot geologists” （由太陽能驅(qū)動的“機器人地質(zhì)學者”）–Mars Exploration Rovers, or MERs-have been moving across 3 miles of the planet and into crates（環(huán)型山）since January, sending back data about the makeup of what scientists believe is Earth’s sister planet. Asked how long it could be before Astronauts land on Mars, Arthur Thompson said, “My best guess is 20 to 30 years, if that becomes our firstly-considered plan.”
The two MER robots, named Spirit and Opportunity, have found Ancient evidence that water was once enough. It is important for scientists hoping to know if there was once-or could still be-life on Mars. Without water, the dream of sending astronauts to the often dusty planet, which has rust-colored rocks and where the sky is red and sunsets are blue, couldn’t be realized. “If we cannot find water, it really makes it difficult to send humans. Water is the key.” Said Thompson.
Thompson said scientists had found a canyon on Mars “that makes the Grand Canyon look like a small canyon,” where water could still be present. “It shows that there is actually water that seeps（滲漏）out of the side of the canyon, and going down the side it evaporates（蒸發(fā)）. We believe it’s an ongoing progress,” he said.
1. The underlined word “provided” in the first paragraph can be replaced by ____.
A. unless B. if C. though D. even if
2. We can learn from the passage that ____.
A. the two robots get their energy only from the sun.
B. the two robots haven’t found any evidence of water on Mars till now.
C. two robots haven’t sent any information about Mars so far.
D. the two robots were sent to Mars in January.
3. According to the passage, which of the following about Mars is NOT true ?
A. The sky there is red. B. It has craters.
C. Rocks on Mars are rust-colored D. It is very cold on Mars.
4. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage ?
A. We can see red sky and blue sunsets on Mars.
B. The canyon found on Mars is larger than the Grand Canyon.
C. We have already found lots of water on Mars.
D. Without water, sending people to Mars is very difficult.
5. What is the best title for the passage ?
A. Earth’s sister planet. B. People on Mars possible in 20 to 30 years.
C. Life on Mars. D. Spirit and Opportunity

參考范文：
August 13, 2005
Dear Li Qian:
How time flies! It has been two months since I left China and came to London.
As you know, London is the capital of England, which is on the River Thames. It’s a very big city with a population of about 7 million. It is also a busy place. People here are usually friendly and helpful, but they are often in a hurry. What impressed me most is ‘the tube’（That’s what people call the underground railway system in London.）, which I had never taken in China. London has many beautiful parks and gardens and other famous places of interest. I just went to London Museum and Hyde Park recently.
How are you now ? I miss you very much. I hope I can hear from you soon.
Yours.
Zhang Ying
