English Channel in 1802.The British began digging one in 1880.Neither tunnel was completed.Europe has had to wait until the end of the 20th century for the Channel Tunnel.After nearly two centuries of dreaming，the island of Great Britain is connected to Continental Europe for the first time since the Ice Age，when the two land masses moved apart.On May 6,1994，Britains Queen Elizabeth and Frances President Mitterrand carried out the official opening.The Queen was accompanied(陪同 )on her train journey through the historic tunnel by one of her RollsRoyce cars which was placed on the train.The following day saw celebrations taking place in Folkestone and Calais.Regular public services did not start until the latter part of 1994.语篇解读：本文简要介绍了英吉利海峡修建到开通的历史史实。21The island of Great Britain is_.Aconnected to France all the timeBseparated from France with a tunnelCseparated from France all the timeDjoined to France with the tunnel答案： D细节理解题。从第一段.the island of Great Britain is connected to Continental Europe for the first time since the Ice Age可以看出the island of Great Britain和France是由the tunnel连接起来的。22Queen Elizabeth_at the opening.Atook her car RollsRoyce through the tunnelBtook her car which was placed on her train through the tunnelCtook her train through the tunnelDtook Mitterrands train through the tunnel答案：C细节理解题。第二段第二句话The Queen was accompanied on her train journey through the historic tunnel by one of her RollsRoyce cars which was placed on the train.已明确告知Queen Elizabeth是怎么去参加开幕典礼的。23Before 1994，one could go to Britain from France_.Aonly by shipBby ship or planeCby car or train Dby ship，car or train答案：B推理判断题。既然1994年以前没有隧道，那当然只有坐船或乘飞机从英国去法国。24Which of the following is RIGHT?ANapoleon made plans for the tunnel.BThe public could pass through the tunnel by train after May 6,1994.CThe tunnel was built for two centuries.DThe tunnel will do great good to Britain and France.答案：D推理判断题。拿破仑是同意修建隧道的计划，并不是制定计划，故排除A项；接近1994年底，公众才能够坐火车穿过隧道，B项不对；文章并没有说隧道建了多少时间，C项也不对；而隧道修建成功时，英、法两国元首都出席，由此可见隧道对两国的重要性。BUntil New Yorks Chrysler Building was completed in 1930，the Eiffel Tower was the tallest structure in the world.Located by the river Seine，on an avenue named after its designer，this 985foot(300meter)tower is the most famous edifice(宏伟建筑)in the city of Paris.Gustave Eiffels idea was certainly chosen from among 700 proposals(提议)to represent the city in the International Exhibition of Paris in 1889.It commemorated(纪念)the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution.In 1887，three hundred steel workers spent two years constructing the 7,000ton tower.Yet，it was almost torn down two decades after its completion.Luckily，its antenna(天线)，used for telegraphy at the time，saved it.Last July，it looked to observers as though the tower might be destroyed after all，as ominous(不吉利的)black clouds of smoke encircled the structure.Luck was again smiling upon the tower：the fire turned out to be a small one that was quickly put out by attendants on duty.To date，more than 200 million people have visited the Eiffel Tower.However，it has not always been a beloved tourist attraction.At first，Parisians despised it.Its architectural style and metallic composition were not considered pleasing.Today，the Eiffel Tower is adorned(装饰)with special lights that sparkle for ten minutes each hour，from sunset until one am.If you happen to be passing by，look up at this breathtaking monument for an astonishing sight.The Eiffel Tower，composed of iron and steel，is greater than the sum of its parts.语篇解读：本文主要是对埃菲尔铁塔的简介。文章叙述了铁塔的由来、基本结构以及对世界游人的吸引状况。25If you want to see the Eiffel Tower sparkle，when might you stop by?A115 am.B330 pm.C910 am.D000 am.答案：D细节理解题。文章第三段说埃菲尔铁塔上的灯从日落到次日凌晨一点整每一小时闪耀十分钟；因此选D。26When was the Eiffel Tower almost torn down?A1907.B1909.C1889.D2003.答案：B细节理解题。文章第二段第二句话说埃菲尔铁塔建成20年后差一点被拆掉，而它建成于1889年，因此选B。27At first，what did Parisians think about the tower?AThe steel and iron parts were unimpressive.BThe aweinspiring design was attracting.CBoth A and B are correct.DNeither A nor B is correct.答案：A推理判断题。根据第三段第三、四句话可知当时巴黎人不怎么喜欢埃菲尔铁塔，特别是它的建筑风格和金属构架。CTherere eight countries waiting to join the European Union.Croatia and Turkey started talks on 3 October 2005.Turkey could complete them in 15 years，Croatia by 2011.The other Balkan countries have been told they can join the EU one day，if they meet the standards.Albania isnt expected to join the EU until 2015 at the earliest.It applied(申请)to become an EU member on 28 April 2009.The European Commission(委员会)has agreed to allow Albanians to travel freely within the EU.In December 2009 the EU said the rule of law and the fight against organized crime were still the“big problems”for Albania.The EU and Albania reached the SAA(稳定和联合协议)，seen as the first step towards becoming a member，in June 2006.The talks took threeandahalf years，three times longer than those between the EU and Croatia.This is because the EU thought Albania was moving too slowly in its fight against organized crime.The EU also has doubts about Albanias energy department，which suffers from bad supplies. BosniaHerzegovina isnt expected to join the EU until 2015 at the earliest.More than ten years after the 19921995 war，it signed an SAA with the EU in June 2008.The EU was satisfied with progress in four important areas，including public broadcasting(广播)But in December 2009 the EU asked strongly for some other changes，and worried about the countrys future.Iceland is the latest country to want to become an EU member.It applied in July 2009 and the talks began in July 2010.But progress will depend on whether Iceland can deal with a longrunning problem with the UK and the Netherlands.But some Icelanders think they would be better off outside the EU，fearing the EUs effect on their traditional fishing.28Which of the following countries is expected to join the EU the earliest? ATurkey.BAlbania.CCroatia.DBosniaHerzegovina.答案：C细节判断题。根据第一段第二、三句可知，Turkey可能在15年后加入欧盟，而Croatia可能在2011年就可以加入欧盟了；根据第二段第一句和第四段第一句可知，Albania和BosniaHerzegovina最早在2015年才能加入欧盟。故选C项。29The EU and Albania began talking to reach the SAA about in_.AApril 2009 BJanuary 2003CJune 2006 DOctober 2005答案：B推理判断题。根据第三段第一、二句可知，它们2006年6月达成稳定和联合协议，而洽谈经历了三年零六个月，由此可以推断，他们应该大约是从2003年1月开始洽谈的。30What may prevent BosniaHerzegovina from becoming an EU member? AIts large population.BIts energy department.CIts organized crime.DIts worrying future.答案：D细节理解题。根据第四段的最后一句的worried about the countrys future可知，这个国家令人担忧的前途是它成为一个欧盟成员国的一大障碍。31Why dont some Icelanders want their country to become an EU member?AThey are worried about their fishing.BThey are worried about relations with the UK.CThey are afraid they will lose a lot of job opportunities.DThey are afraid their country wont be independent.答案：A细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句中的some Icelanders think they would be better off outside the EU，fearing the EUs effect on their traditional fishing可知，一些冰岛人之所以不愿意让自己的国家加入欧盟，是因为他们担心他们的传统渔业将受到不良影响。DDublin has the benefit of being a home to unequaled beaches.They can be especially attractive during the summer season.Experience this scenery for yourself and see what these beaches have to offer you.Finding yourself at Dollymont makes you a fortunate tourist especially if you find beaches irresistible.Here you can swim away your worries through the Dollymont Blue Flag Beach.The beach provides a wonderful view which is perfect for some relaxing moments.Its shoreline is well recommended for a few quiet and unworried walks along the beach.For some beach adventure，you can drive your way down the M50 and M1 motorways to Donabate.This village in North County Dublin offers an attractive Blue Flag beach which is perfect for your swimming addictions.Lifeguards are on call during bathing period.The water is as overpowering as the surrounding.For a double purpose beach，cheek out Killiney.This beach is a top off destination for a swimming adventure and it is equally grand for relaxing walks.The shoreline is covered with pebbles and rocks.This may seem averred with ordinary stony beach for some but for those who have strong interest in geological processes，Killiney is a best spot to discover part of Dublins history and Killineys formation.Another accessible Blue Flag Beach lies on Malahide in Fingal.You can enjoy the distinctive attraction of the water while still getting yourself amazed with the wonderful sights around Malahide.Beach is sandy and holds a harbor designed for pleasure boats at the Northern end.For a bit of challenge and thrill，consider a swim at Seapoint Beach in Dun Laoghaire Rathdown.You can have the pleasure of an exciting surf adventure here apart from the usual swimming activity.It is often visited by tourists due to its various appeals：swimming on the north part of the beach while surfing，boating and jet skiing at the south.Need to beat the heat off your summer vacation?
