         Nearly all the visitors to southeast France pay a visit a Monaco, too. Lying near the French-Italian
    border, Monaco is not part of France, but a separate principality (大公国)-though it is surrounded by
    its great neighbour.
         Monaco became a principality in the 16th century after being owned by a family member of a certain
    Italian king. The French and Italian, however, soon came to protect it one after another until 1861, when
    it became its own master again.
         Facing the blue Mediterranean (地中海), Monaco is mainly made up of two cities, Monaco, where
    the palace for the Prince stands, and Monte Carlo, which is a wonderful place for visitors. Every year,
    about half a million people come to Monaco, nearly 25 tiroes as much as its population.
         Believe it or not, Monaco has no soldiers or policemen of its own. Law and order is kept by the
    French police, and the French stand for it in its foreign affairs, even the money used in Monaco is the
    franc, too.
    1. Which of the following maps shows the right position of Monaco and its neighbouring countries?
    (Mc=Monaco, Fr==France, I=Italy, Md=Mediterranean)

    2. Monaco has a population of ____.

    A. nearly 25 thousand
    B. no more than 20 thousand
    C. about 12,500 thousand
    D. a little over 20 thousand
    3. Which of the following is TRUE?
    A. The national income of Monaco must be very little.
    B. Monaco isn't a completely independent country.
    C. A principality is a country ruled by foreigners.
    D. Monaco belongs to France since law and order is kept by the French police.
    4. Now the head of the government of Monaco is ____.
    A. an Italian
    B. a French
    C. a prince
    D. a president

    第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分 40分）
    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    A
    A university math tutor has discovered the science behind “singledom”, finding that our chances of finding the perfect partner are just 1 in 285,000. Peter Backus, a tutor at the University of Warwick, published his “Why I Don’t Have a Girlfriend” paper after a three-year love drought.
    His unconventional study uses a famous math formula called The Drake Equation(德雷克等式), which was first used to estimate the existence of extra-terrestrial(地球以外) life.
    The results don't look promising for British singles. 30-year-old Mr. Backus found that out of the 30 million women in the UK, only 26 would be suitable girlfriends for him.
    The dull equation takes into account the number of women aged 24 to 34, living in his home city of London, and who are single, meaning his chances of meeting his dream woman on a night out are slim.
    The economics expert said: “There are 26 women in London with whom I might have a wonderful relationship. So, on a given night out in London there is a 0.0000034% chance of meeting one of these special people. That’s a 1 in 285,000 chance, so it’s not great.”
    The puzzling Drake equation reads: N =" R*" x Fp x Ne x Fi x Fc x L, and helped pioneering scientist Professor Drake to predict that there could be 10,000 civilizations in our galaxy.
    Mr. Backus simply replaced the original equation with his own criteria for a dream date, which included the percentage of women likely to find him attractive, and the number of girls aged 24-34 in London. He said: “The research may sound depressing to people looking for love, but the good news for singles is, it’s probably not your fault!”
    56. Mr. Backus’ discovery in this passage is mainly concerned about ______.
    A. whether there exists life out of our planet
    B. the possibility of his being able to find love
    C. how to get rid of singledom
    D. what math can do to serve our daily life
    57. What does Mr. Backus think of the result of his research?
    A. Optimistic.     B. Depressing.      C. Unrealistic.     D. Exciting.
    58. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
    A. Mr. Backus’ major research field is “singledom”.
    B. Mr. Backus found a girlfriend three years ago.
    C. Mr. Backus’ new thesis will surely be well received.
    D. Mr. Backus has been searching for love for long.
    59. By “the good news for singles” in the last sentence, Mr. Backus probably mean _____.
    A. you don’t have to blame yourself for remaining single
    B. maybe the discovery is not reliable at all
    C. the result was based on his own criteria
    D. there might be more dream date out of London
    60. Which of the following statements is true?
    A. This passage could be published in a scientific magazine.
    B. The passage intends to prove there are other civilizations.
    C. The passage writer doesn’t really understand the Drake equation.
    D. Most women in London are not suitable for university teachers.

    阅读理解。
         In a moment of personal crisis, how much help can you expect from a Ne York taxi driver? I began
    studying this question and found the answers interesting.
         One morning I got into three different taxis and announced, "Well, it's my first day back in New York
    in seven years. I've been in prison." Not a single driver replied, so I tried again. "Yeah, I shot a man in Reno."
    I explained, hoping the driver would ask me why, but nobody asked. The only response came from a Ghanaian
    driver, "Reno? That is in Nevada?"
         Taxi drivers were uniformly sympathetic when I said I'd just been fired. "This is America," a Haitian driver
    said."One door is closed. Another is open." He argued against my plan to burn down my boss's house. A
    Pakistani driver even turned down a chance to profit from my loss of hope; he refused to take me to the middle
    of George Washington Bridge-a $ 20 trip. "Why you want to go there? Go home and relax. Don't worry. Take
    a new job."
         One very hot weekday in July, while wearing a red ski mask and holding a stuffed pillowcase with the word
    "BANK" on it, I tried calling a taxi five times outside different banks. The driver picked me up every time. My
    ride with a Haitian driver was typical of the superb assistance I received.
         "Let's go across the park." I said. "I just robbed the bank there. I got $ 25 000."
         "$ 25 0007" He asked.
         "Yeah, you think it was wrong to take it?"
         "No, man. I work 8 hours and I don't make almost $ 70. If I can do that, I do it too."
         As we approached 86th and Lexington, I pointed to the Chemical Bank.
         "Hey, there's another bank," I said, "Could you wait here a minute while I go inside?"
         "No, I can't wait. Pay me now." His reluctance may have something to do with money-taxi drivers think
    the rate for waiting time is too low-but I think he wanted me to learn that even a bank robber can't expect
    unconditional support.
    1. From the Ghanaian driver's response, we can infer that _____.
    A. he was indifferent to the killing
    B. he was afraid of the author
    C. he looked down upon the author
    D. he thought the author was crazy
    2. Why did the Pakistani driver refuse to take the author to the middle of the George Washington Bridge?
    A. Because he was able to help the author to find a new job.
    B. Because he wanted to go home and relax.
    C. Because it was far away from his home.
    D. Because he thought that the author would commit suicide.
    3. What is the author's interpretation of the driver's reluctance "to wait outside the Chemical bank"?
    A. The driver thought that the rate for waiting time was too low.
    B. The driver thought it wrong to support a taxi rider unconditionally.
    C. The driver was frightened and wanted to leave him as soon as possible.
    D. The driver did not want to help a suspect to escape from a bank robbery.
    4. Which of the following statements is true about New York taxi drivers?
    A. They are ready to help you do whatever you want to.
    B. They often refuse to pick up those who would kill themselves.
    C. They are sympathetic with those who are out of work.
    D. They work only for money.
    5. The passage mainly discusses _____.
    A. how to please taxi drivers
    B. how to deal with taxi drivers
    C. the attitudes of taxi drivers towards riders in personal trouble
    D. the attitudes of taxi drivers towards troublesome taxi riders
