As the English are such a mixed people, local customs and accents in England vary a great deal and local pride. is still strong in some parts of the country. Both Leonard Townsend and Herbert Perkins al- ways think of themselves as Northerners, although they have moved to the south. Leonard is as proud of being a Yorkshire man as Iran Macdonald is of being a Scot (苏格兰人).
The closer one gets to London, the less one notices such differences, for London is a melting-pot. People from all over Britain and from all over the world pour into the giant city. London tends to ' melt down' and smooth out strong accents and local customs. Every year the influence of London spreads fur-her and further into the country, north, south, east and west, but particularly into the south and south- east. In an effort to stop London from spreading any more, new overspill towns are being built forty to filly miles outside London. London from are encouraged to move to a new town, or at least to open new branches there instead of in another part of London. This policy is now beginning to have results. Until recently the greater London region had a population of twelve million, but this figure is starting to drop.
Which of the following is NOT the meaning of the sentence "Since 1066 the blood ... "in Para. 1？
A．People from other countries have settled down in England.
B．Many foreigners have died and been buried in England.
C．Foreign people have immigrated into England.
D．People from other countries have become Englishmen.

Across the English Channel
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 only 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 dreams of being able to drive to France in his own car. "Not possible", you say. Well, wait a minute. People are once a gain 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 ]ink 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 dock land(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 were stiff warm!
Which of the following statements is TRUE？
A．Swimming across the Channel takes less than four hours.
B．The idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge is a very new one.
C．It is considered to be more difficult to swim across the channel than any other means.
D．A tunnel or bridge would only reach as far as the coast.

听力原文： Right up to the 19th Century, Oxford and Cambridge were the only two universities in England. Royal patronage and aristocratic money confirmed them in their position, and attempts to found new universities elsewhere all met with failure. In the 19th century, however, other universities were at last established, though by private efforts and not through government policy. The first was in London, then in Durham and Manchester.
The new universities deliberately challenged Oxford and Cambridge by choosing to study subjects like modem languages and English literature, which were not taught in the old universities. They got less influence from the established church and welcomed Catholics and even non Christians such as Jews as students. A larger number of provincial universities were established following their lead; these are the so-called "Redbrick" universities. Many of them were dependent on older universities at first, especially the University of London, but soon they became independent and began giving their own degrees. Many also became well known for their excellence in a particular subject and could offer a better course to students taking that subject than was available anywhere else in the country. After this first rapid increase in numbers and distribution, the number of English universities remained the same for nearly 40 years.
But by the 1960s a new post-war generation had grown up. Due to an increase in the birthrate following the Second World War, the school-going population was bigger than ever before. Secondary education was better and the school leaving age became higher. Naturally the demand for university places became greater, and the government responded with an ambitious university building plan. Seven new universities were planned and built, and opened their doors to the new generation of students between 1961 and 1965. It was the greatest single expansion of higher education that England has ever known.
(33)
A．Because the Parliament only supported Oxford and Cambridge.
B．Because only Oxford and Cambridge were supported by royal patronage and aristocratic money.
C．Because Oxford and Cambridge were the most important cities in England.
D．Because there were not enough students to be enrolled in more than two universities.

听力原文： Washington
The United States has blocked a UN Security Council statement that was drafted by Arab nations and aimed at putting pressure on Israel to stop military strikes on Palestinian targets. Washington does not have formal veto power when it comes to council statements. But it is able to block the draft single-handedly because council rules require that statements be unanimous and supported by all 15 of its members. Violence and bloodshed in Palestine is getting more serious during the past several months, and the Israeli military is criticized for over-reacting to protests by Palestinian people, causing serious casualties of civilians.

Three of the main suspects in a failed attempt to bomb the London transit system made a court appearance in London Monday. Ibrahim, 27, and Mohammed, 23, were charged Sunday. Police suspect Ibrahim of trying to blow up a bus and accuse Mohammed of attempting to bomb a train in the Oval subway station on July 21-one of three trains that were targeted two weeks after similar bombings killed 56 people. They face a maximum sentence of life imprisonment on each charge, if convicted. Ibrahim and Mohammed were arrested in a police raid on a public housing estate in west London on July 29, eight days after knapsack bombs on three trains and the bus failed to detonate.

An old tradition in China is changing. In some areas of China, some people often eat wild animals, and this tradition can be traced back a long time ago. However, such a tradition is changing today as most city dwellers interviewed by the latest survey on wild animal consumption said that they have gone off the creatures. Co-sponsored by the China Wildlife Conservation Association and its partner Wild Aid, a non-governmental organization from the United States, the survey found that 54 percent of urban interviewees chose "potential health risks" as the reason for giving up the wild dishes.
Washington
Global finance chiefs have wrapped up three days of talks in Washington DC, calling for action against runaway oil prices. They also urged the IMF to strengthen its monitoring of national currency policies. Finance ministers and central bank governors have backed plans to meet a long- standing demand by emerging market countries for a greater stake in decision-making at the International Monetary Fund. The IMF currently has 184 member countries. Each member country is assigned a quota, based broadly on its relative size in the world economy. A member's quota determines its maximum financial commitment to the IMF and its voting power. Recently, the Board of Governors of the IMF adopted a resolution on quota and voice reform. in the IMF.

A German church association and a Chinese foundation have jointly launched a five-million-Yuan program to alleviate iodine deficiency disorders in northwest China. The program is expected to benefit 144,000 newborn babies and women of child-bearing age in eight counties and cities in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture of Gansu Province. Lack of iodine stands out to be a serious endemic disease in those areas. It may cause breast and prostate cancer, as well as goiter, or enlargement of the thyroid gland.
