the cultures and the races that go to make up britain today.”people from all cultures and races can be found in every corner of britain and each person in his or her own way has contributed to making britain the place it is today.if you walk down a street in britain，especially in the bigger cities，you will usually see people with different hair，skin and eye colors.they may have white，brown or black skin and blonde，brown，black or red hair，with blue，black，brown or green eyes.many of the people you will see will be british people but they all look different because the people of britain are a mixed race.britain is and has always been a mixed race society.early in the british history they were invaded by romans，saxons，vikings and normans armies and later africans were brought to britain by force in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries as slaves or servants.over the years，thousands of people have been forced by persecution (迫害) or hunger to leave france，ireland，russia，and other countries，and have settled in britain.about 8% of the population of britain today are people from other cultures and races.that is 4.6 million people.according to a bbc report in september 2005，immigration (移民) made up more than half of britains population growth from 1991 to 2001.the guardian newspaper reported in 2007 that the number of immigrants to the uk was 145,000 a year.people moving to britain have brought their own cultures with them and try to keep them alive.an excellent example of this is the notting hill carnival which celebrates the caribbean culture and is now a very big part of british life today.56from tony blairs words，we learn that he was _ for the diversity in britain.asorry bthankful cpity danxious57why can you find people of different races in britain?abecause people like to live in big cities in britain.bbecause people from different countries have settled in britain.cbecause britain has attracted many tourists from all over the world.dbecause people from different countries have been invited to live there.58what does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about?ahow britain became a mixed race society.bwhere people get the strength to come to britain.cwhere to find people with different hair，skin and eye colors.dhow people from different cultures live peacefully in britain.59which of the following statements is true according to the passage?athe rate of immigration to britain increased by more than 50% from 1991 to 2001.bin the 17th century，about 8% of the british immigrants were africans.cthere are 4.6 million immigrants in britain today.d145,000 people moved out of the uk in 2007.bthe tower of london was originally built by william the conqueror，following his successful invasion of england.the tower of london is perhaps better known as a prison.the prisoners would be brought，via the river，from westminster where they would have been tried.crowds would wait on the river bank to find out the verdict (裁决) to see if they would be treated to the spectacle of a public execution (处决)the executioner，with his long sharp axe，would stand behind the accused on the boat.if the accused was guilty he would point his axe towards the victim and if not guilty he would point it away.people knew that if the accused was guilty there would be a public execution 48 hours later.in the centre of the tower of london is the famous white tower.it is the oldest part of the fortress.many people have been locked in the tower，or the bloody tower，for religious beliefs or suspected treason (叛国罪)famous prisoners included anne boleyn，elizabethand walter raleigh.elizabethwas held in the tower as a prisoner for two months by the order of her half sister，queen mary.queen mary felt that her position was being threatened by elizabeth，so she imprisoned her in the tower.ravens (渡鸦) have lived at the tower of london for hundreds of years.the presence of the ravens is traditionally believed to protect the tower.there is a legend that if the ravens leave the tower of london，the white tower will fall and a great disaster will happen.as well as being a palace and a fortress，the tower of london has also served as an armory (军械库)，the royal mint (where money is made)，the royal observatory and the royal zoo.today the tower of london is open to the public as a museum.60what does the underlined word “tried” in paragraph 1 probably mean?acaught. breleased. ckept. djudged.61if found guilty，the accused would _.abe executed secretlybbe killed by the executioner on the river bankcbe punished by the crowd on the river bankdbe executed in public 48 hours later62in the past，the tower of london was once used as all of the following except _.athe royal zoo bthe royal observatorycthe first royal church dthe royal mint63what can we know from the passage?athe tower of london was originally built by queen mary.bravens have lived at the tower of london since it was built.caccording to a legend，something terrible will happen if ravens fly away.dthe tower of london was the earliest prison in british history.cnext time a customer comes to your office，offer him a cup of coffee.and when youre doing your holiday shopping online，make sure youre holding a large glass of iced tea.the physical sensation(感觉) of warmth encourages emotional warmth，while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisionsthose are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist john abargh.psychologists have known that one persons perception(感知) of anothers “warmth” is a powerful determiner in social relationships.judging someone to be either “warm” or “cold” is a primary consideration，even trumping evidence that a “cold” person may be more capable.much of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences，bargh argues，when babies conceptual sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations，particularly warmth and coldness.classic studies by harry harlow，published in 1958，showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth “mother” rather than one made of wire，even when the wire “mother” carried a food bottle.harlows work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills.feelings of “warmth” and “coldness” in social judgments appear to be universal.although no worldwide study has been done，bargh says that describing people as “warm” or “cold” is common to many cultures，and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries.to test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth，bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students.a research assistant who was unaware of the studys hypotheses(假设)，handed the students either a hot cup of coffee，or a cold drink，to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form.the drink was then handed back.after that，the students were asked to rate the personality of “person a” based on a particular description.those who had briefly held the warm drink regarded person a as warmer than those who had held the iced drink.“we are grounded in our physical experiences even when we think abstractly，”says bargh.64according to paragraph 1，a persons emotion may be affected by _.athe visitors to his officebthe psychology lessons he haschis physical feeling of coldnessdthe things he has bought online65the author mentions harlows experiment to show that _.aadults should develop social skillsbbabies need warm physical contactccaregivers should be healthy adultsdmonkeys have social relationships66in barghs experiment，the students were asked to _.aevaluate someones personalitybwrite down their hypothesescfill out a personal information formdhold coffee and cold drink alternatively67what would be the best title for the passage?adrinking for better social relationshipsbexperiments of personality evaluationcdeveloping better drinking habitsdphysical sensations and emotionsdtens of thousands of students in universities across britain have been caught cheating in exams and coursework，and the trend is on the rise，according to an investigation.over the past three years，more than 45,000 students at 80 institutions have been questioned before college authorities and found guilty of “academic misconduct” ranging from bringing crib sheets or mobile phones into exams to paying private firms to write essays for them.some 16,000 cases were recorded in the past year alone，as university chiefs spent millions on software to identify work reproduced from published material，or simply cut from the internet.but officials warned they were fighting a losing battle against hitech advances.tessa byars，a manager at anglia ruskin university students union，warned that advances in technology had made it “nearly impossible” for universities to keep up.“its only going to get worse，”she said，“from next september we expect to see cheating incidents rise.the introduction of tuition fees will increase pressure and anxiety to get a good degree.they are all worried about their employment prospects (前景)”university bosses blame the financial crisis for raising the risks in higher education，making many students do anything to secure good grades.a number of experts claim that the policy of increasing access to higher education has left thousands of young people starting university without all the practical and intellectual skills required.ministers have now been asked to
