第二部分 阅读理解（共10小题，每小题3分，满分30分） Passage 1
I often dreamed about Pisa when I was a boy. I read about the famous building called the Leaning Tower of Pisa. But when I read the word Pisa, I was thinking about pizza. I thought this tower was a place to buy pizza. It must be the best place to buy pizza in the world, I thought.
Many years later, I finally saw the Leaning Tower. I knew then that it was Pisa but no pizza. But there was still something special about it for me. The Tower got its name because it really did lean to one side. Some people want to try to fix it. They are afraid it may fall over and they don’t like it leans over the city.
I do not think it’s a good idea to try to fix it. The Tower probably will not fall down. It is 600 years old. Why should anything happened to it now? And, if you ask me, I like what it looks like. To me it is a vey human kind of leaning. Nothing is perfect. It seems to say.
And who cares? Why do people want things to be perfect? Imperfect things may be more interesting. Let’s take the tower in Pisa. Why is it so famous? There are many other older, more beautiful towers in Italy. But Pisa tower is the most famous. People come from all over the world to see it.
6. The writer used to think Pisa ___.
A. in Spain B. not very famous C. not the same as pizza D. the same as pizza 7. This passage is about ___.
A. Italian pizza B. Italy’s problems

C. How the Leaning Tower Pisa got its name D. Why the writer like Pisa 8. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is ___.
A. modern B. falling down C. 600 years old D. 60 years old 9. The writer ___.
A. doesn’t like what the tower looks like B. likes what the tower looks like C. thinks it’s the most beautiful tower in the world D. doesn’t like tower 10. The writer likes the Leaning Tower of Pisa because ___.
A. it’s old B. it’s perfect C. it sells pizza D. it’s imperfect Passage 2
By definition, heroes and heroines are men and women distinguished by uncommon courage, achievements, and self-sacrifice made most for the benefits of other –they are people against whom we measure others. They are men and women recognized for shaping our nation’s consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire them. Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us-an artifact of the past. Some maintain that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace our age is essentially an unheroic one. Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science.
Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to transcend celebrity(明星), who are legendary, who somehow manage to become mythic. But what makes some figures icons and others mere celebrities? That’s hard to answer. In part, their lives have the quality of a story to tell. For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince, renounced marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love. Good looks certainly help. So does a special indefinable charm, with the help of the media. But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death -such as Martin Luther King Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana.

14. Beautiful young Diana Spencer found her genuine love _______.
A. when she was 19 B. when she became a princess C. just before her death D. after she gave birth to a Prince 15. What is more likely to set an icon’s status?_______

第二部分 阅读理解（共10小题，每小题3分，满分30分） Passage 1
One day a man and his daughter were going out for a walk. The man had put on a pair of odd shoes, one with a thick sole (鞋跟), and one with a thin sole. As he came out to the street, he felt very uncomfortable.
Turning to his daughter, he said, ”Why should one of my legs be longer than the other one?” The daughter looked at her father’s legs and said, “You have put on two odd shoes!”
When he heard this, the man was very happy and thought to himself, “What a bright daughter I’ve got!” Then he asked his daughter to go back to the house and got him another pair of shoes.
When the daughter went back to the house, all she could find was one shoe with thick sole and one shoe with thin sole. Taking the shoes to show her father, she said, “It’s no use changing! These shoes are also odd, one with a thick sole, and one with a thin sole.”

Britain and France are separated by the English Channel, a body of water that can be crossed in as few as 20 minutes. But the cultures of the two countries sometimes seem to be miles apart.
Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 100th anniversary (周年纪念) of the signing of a friendship agreement called the Entente Cordiality .The agreement marked a new beginning for the countries following centuries of wars and love-hate partnership.
But their relationship has been ups and downs over the past century. Just last year, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war-which British Prime Minister Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac speaking out against it. This discomfort is expressed in Blair and Chirac’s body language at international meetings. While the French leader often greets German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder with a hug (拥抱) ，Blair just receives a handshake. However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties.
The history of divisions may well be because of the very different ways in which the two sides see the world. But this doesn’t stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year. However, only 3 million French come in the opposite direction. Surveys (调查) show that most French people reel closer to the Germans than they do to the British. And the research carried out in Britain has round that only a third of the population believes the French can be trusted. Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike France’s close relationship with Germany, or because the French are not happy with Britain’s close links with the US.
Whatever the answer is, as both sides celebrate 100 years of “doubtful friendship”, they are at least able to make jokes about each other. Here’s one: What’s the best thing about Britain’s relationship with France? The English Channel. (320 words)
11. For centuries, the relationship between Britain and France is __________. A. friendly B. impolite C. brotherly D. a mixture of love and hate
12. The war in Iraq does _________ to the relationship between France and Britain. A. good B. harm C. neither good nor harm D both good and harm
13. The British are not so friendly to________ and the French are not so friendly to _________. A. Germany; America B. America; Germany C. Germany; Germany D. America; America
14. ________ are more interested in having holidays in _________. A. American people… Britain B. British people… Germany C. French people… Britain D. British people… France
15. What does the last sentence mean? ________
A. As long as the English Channel exists, no further disagreement will form between France and Britain.
B. The English Channel can prevent anything unfriendly happening in both France and Britain.
