Passage3        Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.        To swim across the English Channel takes at least nine hours.It's a 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 if you don't mind the noise, and that takes forty minutes.Otherwise, you can go by boat, if you remember your seasickness pills.All these means of transport have their problems and the weary 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 Greater London Council is looking into the possibility of building a Channel link straight to London.(79)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 London's disused docklands.A link from London to the continent would stimulate trade and revitalize the port,and would make London a main trading center in Europe.(80) 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 were still warm!
Passage2       Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.People travel for a lot of reasons.Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines.Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places.But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.      (77) Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it.Residents of cities like London,Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short,and much of the rest of the year in the rain.This is the reason why the Mediterranean has always attracted them.Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resorts and beaches for their vacation.They all come for the same reason: sun!        The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries.Italy's 30,000 hotels are booked solid every summer.And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks and roadsides.Spain's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else.37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain.        (78) But there are signs that the area is getting more tourists than it can handle.The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth.And with increased tourism, it's getting worse.The French can't figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St.Tropez.And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution.        None of this, however, is spoiling anyone's fun.The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists.Obviously, they don't go there for clean water and solitude.They tolerate traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches.They don't even mind the pollution.No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful.And as long as the sun shines, it's still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.
Passage1         Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.         During the twentieth century there has been a great change in the lives of women. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties,and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. (76) By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until sixty.         This important change in women's life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school and took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned. to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more afterwards return to full- or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new  relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life.
