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.1.Why does the writer think that Benjamin Disraeli's statement is an understatement? Because he thinks London is ().2. London is regarded as the most culturally diverse city in the world due to the following facts EXCEPT that ().3. Ethnic minority groups will make up () of the London population in the future.4. The last paragraph mainly tells us in London ().5. The passage mainly deals with ().(1).A、a miniature world thanks to its great cultural diversityB、even larger than some countries in the worldC、not a nation at all(2).A、within 10 years 40% Londoners will be from ethnic minority groupsB、many young people are immigrants from different backgroundsC、London accommodates about 330,000 refugees and asylum seekers from many other countries(3).A、36%B、40%C、39%(4).A、young people feel at ease with a large number of diversified culturesB、young people are raised in a multicultural environmentC、young people find it hard to adapt themselves to hybrid cultures(5).A、the advantage of hybrid cultures in LondonB、the composition of the population in LondonC、the cultural diversity in London

Across the English Channel
To swim across the English Channel takes at least nine hours.Its a hard work and it makes you short of breath.To fly over the Channel takes only twenty minutes(as only as youre not held up at the airport),but its an expensive way to travel.You can travel by hovercraft if you dont 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 Londons 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!
Channel link would_________.A:allow us to by fish and chips in FranceB:make the journey from Europe to England dangerous but easier and fasterC:decrease more trade for London's dockyardsD:make London more prosperous again

问答题Passage 3Cleaning up the Thames A The River Thames, which was biologically “dead” as recently as the 1960s, is now the cleanest metropolitan river in the world, according to the Thames Water Company. The company says that thanks to major investment in better sewage treatment in London and the Thames Valley, the river that flows through the United Kingdom capital and the Thames Estuary into the North Sea is cleaner now than it has been for 130 years. The Fisheries Department, who are responsible for monitoring fish levels in the River Thames, has reported that the river has again become the home to 115 species of fish including sea bass, flounder, salmon, smelt, and shad. Recently, a porpoise was spotted cavorting in the river near central London. B But things were not always so rosy. In the 1950s, sewer outflows and industrial effluent had killed the river. It was starved of oxygen and could no longer support aquatic life. Until the early 1970s, if you fell into the Thames you would have had to be rushed to hospital to get your stomach pumped. A clean-up operation began in the 1960s. Several Parliamentary Committees and Royal Commissions were set up, and, over time, legislation has been introduced that put the onus on polluters-effluent-producing premises and businesses-to dispose of waste responsibly. In 1964 the Greater London Council (GLC) began work on greatly enlarged sewage works, which were completed in 1974. C The Thames clean up is not over though. It is still going on, and it involves many disparate arms of government and a wide range of non-government stakeholder groups, all representing a necessary aspect of the task. In London’s case, the urban and non-urban London boroughs that flank the river’s course each has its own reasons for keeping “their” river nice. And if their own reasons do not hold out a sufficiently attractive carrot, the government also wields a compelling stick. The 2,000 Local Government Act requires each local borough to “prepare a community strategy for promoting or improving the economic, social and environmental well-being of their area”. And if your area includes a stretch of river, that means a sustainable river development strategy. D Further legislation aimed at improving and sustaining the river’s viability has been proposed. There is now legislation that protects the River Thames, either specifically or as part of a general environmental clause, in the Local Government Act, the London Acts, and the law that created the post of the mayor of London. And these are only the tip of an iceberg that includes industrial, public health and environmental protection regulations. The result is a wide range of bodies officially charged, in one way or another, with maintaining the Thames as a public amenity. For example, Transport for London—the agency responsible for transport in the capital—plays a role in regulating river use and river users. They now are responsible for controlling the effluents and rubbish coming from craft using the Thames. This is done by officers on official vessels regularly inspect fling craft and doing spot checks. Another example is how Thames Water (TW) has now been charged to reduce the amount of litter that finds its way into the tidal river and its tributaries. TW’s environment and quality manager, Dr. Peter Spillett, said: “This project will build on our investment which has dramatically improved the water quality of the river. London should not be spoiled by litter which belongs in the bin not the river.” Thousands of tons of rubbish end up in the river each year, from badly stored waste, people throwing litter off boats, and rubbish in the street being blown or washed into the river. Once litter hits the water it becomes too heavy to be blown away again and therefore the rivers act as a sink in the system. While the Port of London already collects up to 3,000 tons of solid waste from the tideway every year, Thames Water now plans to introduce a new device to capture more rubbish floating down the river. It consists of a huge cage that sits in the flow of water and gathers the passing rubbish. Moored just offshore in front of the Royal Naval College at Greenwich, south-east London, the device is expected to capture up to 20 tons of floating litter each year. If washed out to sea, this rubbish can kill marine mammals, fish and birds. This machine, known as the Rubbish Muncher, is hoped to be the first of many, as the TW is now looking for sponsors to pay for more cages elsewhere along the Thames. E Monitoring of the cleanliness of the River Thames in the past was the responsibility of a welter of agencies-British Waterways, Port of London Authority, the Environment Agency, the Health and Safety Commission, Thames Water—as well as academic departments and national and local environment groups. If something was not right, someone was bound to call foul and hold somebody to account, whether it was the local authority, an individual polluter or any of the many public and private sector bodies that bore a share of the responsibility for maintaining the River Thames as a public amenity. Although they will all still have their part to play, there is now a central department in the Environment Agency, which has the remit of monitoring the Thames. This centralization of accountability will, it is hoped, lead to more efficient control and enforcement. Do the following statements agree with the claims of the writer in Reading Passage 3? In boxes 1-8 on your answer sheet, write YES if the statement agrees with the claims of the writer NO if the statement contradicts the claims of the writer NOT GIVEN if it is impossible to say what the writer thinks about this 1. The Thames is now cleaner than it was in 1900. 2. Swimming in the Thames now poses no health hazards. 3. It is now mainly the responsibility of those who pollute the Thames to clean their waste up. 4. All local London boroughs are now partly responsible for keeping the Thames clean. 5. Transport for London now employs a type of River Police to enforce control of their regulations. 6. Rubbish Munchers are now situated at various locations on the Thames. 7. Previously no one department had overall responsibility or control for monitoring the cleanliness of the Thames. 8. British Waterways will no longer have any part in keeping the Thames clean.
