A
You’ve just coe hoe, after living abroad for a few years. Since you’ve been away, has this country changed for the better—or for the worse?

So how have things changed to people coing back to Britain after seven, ten or even 15 years living abroad? What changes in society can they see that the rest of us have hardly noticed—or now take for granted? To find out, we asked soe people who recently returned.
Debi: When we left, Cheltenha, y hoe town, was a town of white, iddle-class failies—all very conservative (保守的). The town is now hoe to any eastern Europeans and lots of Australians, who coe here ainly to work in hotels and touris. There are even several shops only for foreigners.
Having been an iigrant (移民) yself, I adire people who go overseas to find a job. aybe if I lived in an inner city where uneployent was high, I’d think differently, but I believe foreign settlers have iproved this country because they’re ore open-inded and often work harder than the natives.
Christine: As we flew hoe over Britain, both of us rearked how green everything looked. But the differences between the place we’d left behind and the one we returned to were brought sharply into focus as soon as we landed.
To see policeen with guns in the airport for the first tie was frightening—in Cyprus, they’re very relaxed—and I got pulled over by custos officers just for taking a woolen sweater with soe etal-ade buttons out of y case in the arrivals hall. Everyone seeed to be on guard. Even the airport car-hire fir wanted a credit card rather than cash because they said their vehicles had been used by bank robbers.
But anyway, this is still a green, beautiful country. I just wish ore people would appreciate what they’ve got.

36. After a short overseas holiday, people tend to _______.
A. expect sall changes B. notice sall changes
C. welcoe sall changes D. exaggerate sall changes
37. How does Debi look at the foreign settlers?
A. Cautiously. B. Sceptically. C. Positively. D. Critically.
38. When arriving at the airport in Britain, Christine was shocked by _______.
A. the relaxed policeen B. the essy arrivals hall
C. the bank robbers D. the tight security
39. Which ight be the best title for the passage?
A. Back in Britain. B. Life in Britain.
C. Britain in Future. D. Britain in eory.

When y brother and I were young, y o would take us on Transportation Days.
It goes like this: You can’t take any eans of transportation ore than once. We would start fro hoe, walking two blocks(街区) to the rail station. We’d take the train into the city center, then a bus, switching to the tra, then aybe a taxi. We always considered taking a horse carriage in the historic district, but we didn’t like the way the horses were treated, so we never did. At the end of the day, we took the subway to our closest station, where o’s friend was waiting to give us a ride hoe—our first car ride of the day.
The good thing about Transportation Days is not only that o taught us how to get around. She was born to be ultiodal (多方式的). She understood that depending on cars only was a failure of iagination and, above all, a failure of confidence—the product of a childhood not spent exploring subway tunnels.

On Transportation Days, we ight stop for lunch on Chestnut Street or buy a new book or toy, but the transportation was the point. First, it was exciting enough to watch the world speed by fro the train windo As I got older, y o helped e unlock the ysteries that would otherwise have paralyzed y first attepts to do it yself: How do I know where to get off? How do I know how uch it costs? How do I know when I need tickets, and where to get the? What track, what line, which direction, where’s the stop, and will I get wet when we go under the river?
I’ writing this right now on an airplane, a eans we didn’t try on our Transportation Days and, we now know, the dirtiest and ost polluting of the all. y flight routed e through Philadelphia. y ultiodal o et e for dinner in the airport. She took a train to eet e.
40. Which was forbidden by o on Transportation Days?
A. Having a car ride. B. Taking the train twice.
C. Buying ore than one toy. D. Touring the historic district.
41. According to the writer, what was the greatest benefit of her Transportation Days?
A. Building confidence in herself. B. Reducing her use of private cars.
C. Developing her sense of direction. D. Giving her knowledge about vehicles.
42. The underlined word “paralyzed” (in Para. 5) is closest in eaning to “_______”.
A. displayed[Z§B. Justified C. Ignored D. destroyecl
43. Which eans of transportation does the writer probably have a dislike of?
A. Subway. B. Airplane. C. Tra. D. Car.

C
How is it that siblings (兄弟姐妹) can turn out so differently? One answer is that in fact each sibling grows up in a different faily. The firstborn is, for a while, an only child, and therefore has a copletely different experience of the parents than those born later. The next child is, for a while, the youngest, until the situation is changed by a new arrival. The other and father theselves are changing and growing up too. One sibling ight live in a stable and close faily in the first few years; another ight be raised in a faily crisis, with a disappointed other or an angry father.
Sibling copetition was identified as an iportant shaping force as early as in 1918. But ore recently, researchers have found any ways in which brothers and sisters are a lasting force in each others’ lives. Dr. Annette Henderson says firstborn children pick up vocabulary ore quickly than their siblings. The reason for this ight be that the later children aren’t getting the sae one-on-one tie with parents. But that doesn’t ean that the younger children have probles with language developent. Later-borns don’t enjoy that uch talking tie with parents, but instead they harvest lessons fro bigger brothers and sisters, learning entire phrases and getting an understanding of social concepts such as the difference between “I” and “e”.

One way children seek ore attention fro parents is by aking theselves different fro their siblings, particularly if they are close in age. Researchers have found that the first two children in a faily are typically ore different fro each other than the second and third. Girls with brothers show their differences to a axiu degree by being ore feinine than girls with sisters. A 2003 research paper studied adolescents fro 185 failies over two years, finding that those who changed to ake theselves different fro their siblings were successful in increasing the aount of warth they gained fro their parents.
44. The underlined part “in a different faily” (in Para. 1) eans “_______”.
A. in a different faily environent B. in a different faily tradition
C. in different faily crises D. in different failies
45. In ters of language developent, later-borns ________.
A. get their parents’ individual guidance
B. learn a lot fro their elder siblings
C. experience a lot of difficulties
D. pick up words ore quickly
46. What was found about fights aong siblings?
A. Siblings hated fighting and loved playing.
B. Siblings in soe failies fought frequently.
C. Sibling fights led to bad sibling relationships.
D. Siblings learned to get on together fro fights.
47. The word “feinine” (in Para. 4) eans “_______”.
A. having qualities of parents B. having qualities of woen
C. having defensive qualities D. having extraordinary qualities
D
It was a siple letter asking for a place to study at Scotland’s oldest university which helped start a revolution in higher education. A 140-year-old letter written by a lady calling for her to be allowed to study edicine at St Andrews University has been discovered by researchers. Written by Sophia Jex-Blake in 1873, the seven-page docuent, which urged the university to allow woen to study edicine at the institution, was released yesterday on International Woen’s Day.
The docuent was discovered buried in the university archives (档案) by part-tie history student Lis Sith, who is copleting her PhD at St Andrews Institute of Scottish Historical Research. She said: “We knew that Sophia Jex-Blake and her supporters, in their effort to open up university edical education for woen, had written to the Senatus Acadeicus (校评议委员会) at St Andrews in an attept to gain perission to attend classes there, but we didn’t know docuentary evidence existed. While searching the archives for inforation about the university’s higher certificate for woen, I was astonished to coe across what ust be the very letter Jex-Blake wrote.”
In the letter, Sophia and her supporters offered to hire teachers or build suitable buildings for a edical school and to arrange for lectures to be delivered in the subjects not already covered at St Andrews. Although her letter was not successful, it eventually led to the establishent of the Ladies Literate in Arts at St Andrews, a distance-learning degree for woen. The qualification, which ran fro 1877 until the 1930s, gave woen access to university education in the days before they were aditted as students. It was so popular that it survived long after woen were aditted as full students to St Andrews in 1892.
s Jex-Blake went on to help establish the London School of edicine for Woen in 1874. She was accepted by the University of Berne, where she was awarded a edical degree in January 1877. Eventually, she oved back to Edinburgh and opened her own practice.
48. Sophia wrote a letter to St Andrews University because she wanted _______.
A. to carry out a research project there
B. to set up a edical institute there
C. to study edicine there
D. to deliver lectures there
49. Lis Sith found Sophia’s letter to St Andrews University _______.
A. by pure chance B. in the school office
C. with her supporters’ help D. while reading history books
50. Sophia’s letter resulted in the establishent of _______.
A. the London School of edicine for Woen B. a degree prograe for woen
C. a syste of edical education D. the University of Berne
51. When did St Andrews University begin to take full-tie woen students?
A. In 1873. B. In 1874. C. In 1877. D. In 1892.

Brrriiinnng. The alar clock announces the start of another busy weekday in the orning. You jup out of bed, rush into the shower, into your clothes and out the door with hardly a oent to think. A stressful journey to work gets your blood pressure clibing. Once at the office, you glance through the newspaper with depressing stories or reports of disasters. In that sort of ood, who can get down to work, particularly soe creative, original proble-solving work?
The way ost of us spend our ornings is exactly opposite to the conditions that proote flexible, open-inded thinking. Iaginative ideas are ost likely to coe to us when we’re unfocused. If you are one of those energetic orning people, your ost inventive tie coes in the early evening when you are relaxed. Sleepy people’s lack of focus leads to an increase in creative proble solving. By not giving yourself tie to tune into your wandering ind, you’re issing out on the surprising solutions it ay offer.
The trip you take to work doesn’t help, either. The stress slows down the speed with which signals travel between neurons (神经细胞), aking inspirations less likely to occur. And while we all should read a lot about what’s going on in the world, it would not ake you feel good for sure, so put that news website or newspaper aside until after the day’s work is done.
So what would our ornings look like if we wanted to start the with a full ability for creative proble solving? We’d set the alar a few inutes early and lie awake in bed, following our thoughts where they lead. We’d stand a little longer under the war water of the shower, stopping thinking about tasks in favor of a few ore inutes of relaxation. We’d take soe deep breaths on our way to work, instead of coplaining about heavy traffic. And once in the office—after we get a cup of coffee—we’d click on links not to the news of the day but to the funniest videos the web has to offer.
52. According to the author, we are ore creative when we are _______.
A. focused B. awake C. Relaxed D. busy
53. What does the author iply about newspapers?
A. They are solution providers. B. They are norally full of bad news.
C. They are a source of inspiration. D. They are ore educational than websites.
54. By “tune into your wandering ind” (in Para. 2), the author eans “_______”.
A. wander into the wild B. listen to a beautiful tune
C. stop concentrating on anything D. switch to the traffic channel
55. The author writes the last paragraph in order to _______.
A. suarize past experiences B. offer practical suggestions
C. advocate diverse ways of life D. establish a routine for the future
