第一部分:英语能力测试一、阅读理解Passage 1The angry woman stood on the station platform (月台). “The railway should pay me 14,” she said to Tony Jenks, the man in the booking office. “My ticket was for June 26th, and there was no ship from Jersey that night. My daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me 14.” Tony was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, madam,” he said politely. “Ill just check the Jersey timetable for June 26th.” The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Tony soon discovered. There was no ship sailing on June 26th. How had he made such a careless mistake? Not knowing what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sunburned (晒黑旳),” he said to her. “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?” “Yes,” she answered shyly. “The beach was lovely. And I could swim too!” “Thats fine,” said Tony. “My little girl cant swim a bit yet. Of course, shes only three” “Im four,” the child said proudly. “Ill soon be four and a half.” Tony turned to the mother. “I remember your ticket, madam,” he said. “But you didnt get one for your daughter, did you?” “Er, well” the woman looked at the child, “I mean she hasnt started school yet. Shes only four.” “A four-year-old child must have a ticket, madam. A childs return ticket to Jersey costs let me see 15.50. So if you want the railway to pay 14 for your hotel, you will have to pay the railway 15.50 first.

Even Napoleon had a plan to dig a tunnel (隧道) and reach England. One of the first people who tried to dig a tunnel under the Channel was a French engineer called Albert Mathieu. His tunnel failed. In 1881, Colonel Beamont and Captain English from Britain also tried to dig a tunnel. Their tunnel went six kilometers into the Channel. Queen Victoria stopped them and said it was dangerous to connect with France. It was a very good tunnel, and it is still there today. The new tunnel (ready in 1993) is, in fact, three tunnels-two for trains and a “service tunnel” for fresh air to go in and for men who take care of the tunnels. The tunnels are fifty kilometers long, forty meters under water. Forty kilometers of tunnel are under the sea itself. They are the longest undersea tunnels in the world. Trains travel through the tunnels at 160 km/h. People drive their cars onto trains and the trains take them through the tunnel. Each train takes 1,500 people and there are trains every ten minutes.
