London will stage its biggest political funeral in almost half a century on Wednesday when Britain's governing elite join the Queen and global leaders to bid farewell to former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, better known as the “ Iron Lady".
In an event comparable to that of Winston Churchill's funeral in 1965, Thatcher's coffin will be carried on a horse-drawn gun carriage through streets lined with admirers from parliament to the city's most famous cathedral.
The bells of London's symbolic Big Ben clock tower will fall silent for the first time since Churchill's funeral and more than 700 men and women from Britain's armed forces will honor a woman who led them to victory in the 1982 Falklands War as foreign politicians from around 170 nations look on.
Surveys have shown that many are unhappy that the estimated l0-million($15 million)pound bill for the funeral is being picked up by the taxpayer, while some left-wing lawmakers say the luxurious funeral is too expensive.                                                                            
But her admirers, of whom there are many in her party and in southern England, argue that her historical profile deserves such a funeral. She was the country's first and only woman premier, was Britain's longest-serving prime minister of the 20th century, and won three general elections.
More than 2,300 mourners will attend including 11 serving prime ministers from around the world, the British government's entire cabinet, two heads of state and 17 foreign ministers.
But there will be notable absences. Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev is too ill to attend and Nancy Reagan, the widow of Thatcher's great U·S. ally Ronald Reagan, is also unable to come.
Thatcher struck up a close relationship with Reagan during the Cold War, backed the first President  George Bush during the 1991 Gulf War, and was among the first to discover that Gorbachev was a man she could "do business with. ”
Covered in the red, white and blue British flag, Thatcher's coffin lay overnight in a 13th-century church in Britain's parliament, a forum she dominated for years.
【小題1】From the passage we know that Big Ben clock tower will fall silent to        .

A．get repaired for the first time
B．honour the passing away of the great woman
C．tell the specific time to the public
D．welcome the officials from all over the world
【小題2】Who that are still alive will be absent from the funeral?
A．Mikhail Gorbachev and Nancy Reagan.
B．Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan.
C．Nancy Reagan and Ronald Reagan.
D．George Bush and Mikhail Gorbachev.
【小題3】From the passage we can learn that Margaret Thatcher was       .
A．strong and smartB．weak and disappointing
C．a(chǎn)ggressive and warlikeD．stubborn and luxurious
【小題4】Which of the following might serve as the best title of the passage?
A．The legend of Thatcher, the “Iron Lady".
B．Why Big Ben falls silent for the first time?
C．Who will pay for such a luxurious funeral?
D．London will witness its biggest political funeral.

We now think of chocolate as sweet, but once it was bitter. We think of it as a candy, but once it was a medicine. Today, chocolate can be a hot drink, a frozen dessert, or just a snack. Sometimes it's an ingredient (配料) in the main course of a meal. Mexicans make a hot chocolate sauce called mole and pour it over chicken. The Mexicans also eat chocolate with spices (香料) like chili peppers.
Chocolate is a product of the tropical cacao tree. The beans taste so bitter that even the monkeys say "Ugh!" and run away. Workers must first dry and then roast the beans. This removes the bitter taste.
The word "chocolate" comes from a Mayan word. The Mayas were an ancient people who once lived in Mexico. They valued the cacao tree. Some used the beans for money, while others crushed them to make a drink.
When the Spaniards came to Mexico in the sixteenth century, they started drinking cacao too. Because the drink was strong and bitter, they thought it was a medicine. No one had the idea of adding sugar. The Spaniards took some beans back to Europe and opened cafes. Wealthy people drank cacao and said it was good for the digestion.
In the 1800s, the owner of a chocolate factory in England discovered that sugar removed the bitter taste of cacao. It quickly became a cheap and popular drink. Soon afterwards, a factory made the first solid block of sweetened chocolate. Later on, another factory mixed milk and chocolate together. People liked the taste of milk chocolate even better.
Besides the chocolate candy bar, one of the most popular American snacks is the chocolate chip cookie. Favorite desserts are chocolate cream pie and, of course, an ice cream sundae with hot fudge sauce.
【小題1】The main topic of the passage is _________.    

A．the different tastes of chocolate
B．the origin of the word “chocolate”
C．the medical effects of chocolate
D．the production and development of chocolate
【小題2】The Spaniards think that cacao was a medicine because_____   
A．it was strong and bitter.
B．it was good for digestion.
C．it cured man's diseases.
D．it was a kind of drink for good health.
【小題3】Which is the right time order of the events regarding chocolate?_______
a. Chocolate became a cheap and popular drink in England.
b. A factory made the first solid block of sweetened chocolate.
c. The Spaniards started drinking cacao.
d. It was found that sugar removed the bitter taste of cacao.
e. A factory mixed milk and chocolate together. 
A．a(chǎn)-b-c-d-eB．c-d-e-b-aC．c-d-a-b-eD．c-d-b-e-a
【小題4】It can be inferred from the passage that _____.    
A．Mexicans like chocolate very much
B．chocolate can be a hot drink, a frozen dessert, or a candy bar
C．chocolate is a product of the cacao tree
D．people liked the taste of chocolate mixed with milk

The USA is a land of immigrants. Between 1815 and 1914, the world witnessed the greatest peaceful migration in its history: 35 million people, mostly Europeans, left their homelands to start new lives in America. Why did these people risk everything by leaving their homes and families?
First, what forced emigrants to make the decision to leave? One major cause for European farmers to leave was the rise in population which in turn led to land hunger. Another was politics. There was an increased taxation（稅收）and the growth of armies, and many young men fled eastern Europe to avoid being forced to join the army.
Physical hunger provided another pressing reason. Following the collapse （衰退）of the economy of southern Italy in the 1860s, hundreds of thousands decided to start a new life in America. Religion also encouraged millions to leave the Old World.
In short, people chose to leave their homes for social, economic and religious reasons. As a result, by 1890 among a total population of 63 million, there were more than nine million foreign-born Americans.
But what were the attractions? First of all, there was the promise of land which was so scarce in Europe. Next, factories were calling for workers, and pay conditions were much better than back home. Men were needed to open up the West and build the long railroads, and new towns needed settlers to live in and to develop business. There was the space for religious people to practice their faith in peace.
This immigration meant that by around the 1850s Americans of non-English had started to be more than those of English. As we know, there were losers. To start with, there were those unwilling immigrants, the slaves who had been used as a source of cheap labour. Nor should we forget the equally unlucky American Indians. By 1860 there were 27 million free whites, four million slaves and a mere 488,000 free blacks.
Nowadays, the USA is still seen by millions as the Promised Land. As always, it remains an attractive place to those who think it will offer them a second chance.
【小題1】What is not the cause for people to leave their homeland?

A．The search for religious freedom.B．The search for adventure.
C．Unwillingness to join the army.D．Economics.
【小題2】Why was life of the 19th Century European farmers difficult?
A．There was no land.B．There was no peace.
C．The population had gone down.D．There were too many of them.
【小題3】 Which of the following was not an attraction of the USA?
A．EmploymentB．A healthy life
C．freedom of religionD．Business opportunities
【小題4】 What is the topic of this passage?
A．The USA is still seen by millions as the Promised Land.
B．The USA is a land of immigrants.
C．Religion encouraged millions to leave the Old World.
D．About one-eighth of non-native born Americans live in the USA in 1890.
【小題5】 The American Indians __________.
A．were as fortunate as the slaves
B．were more unfortunate than the slaves
C．were the most unfortunate
D．were as unfortunate as the slaves

Benin is one of the smallest African states. It lies in West Africa on the Gulf (海灣) of Guinea, to the south of Burkina Faso and Niger, between Togo on the west and Nigeria on the east.
Benin used to be called Dahomey and was controlled and ruled by France from 1893 to 1960, when it became independent. In 1963 the army general Soglo overthrew (推翻) the first president Maga.

In May 1970, Maga and two other men set up a new government, with each of them acting as president in turn for two years. However, half a year after Maga turned over power to the second man Ahomadegbe, the three-man government was overthrown by the army once more and General Kerekou became president. In November 1975 Kerekou changed the name of the nation from Dahomey to Benin, Benin being the name of a 17th century kingdom covering the same place.

C．Ma, So, Ma, Ah, Ke D．So, Ma, Ke, Ma, Ah
