Reading comprehension (30 points)Passage A(4 points each,20 points in total)Read the article and then judge whether the statements followed are true (T) or false (F)? Write'T' or "F” at the corresponding place on the answer sheet.It's a typical Saturday afternoon on Cathedral Square in Peterborough» in the east of England. Two noisy gangs of young people are sitting in the centre of the square. One groupare wearing tracksuits and baseball caps and brand-new white trainers. A lot of them are 3 3 cwearing jewellery like gold chains and earrings. They're the 'Chavs'. Opposite them are the 'Goths'. They're wearing black Doctor Marten boots, long black coats and black T-shirts with the names of their favorite bands on them. Some of them are wearing lipstick and eyeliner and a few of them have piercings. Nervous shoppers hurry past them, trying not to make eye contact. It seems to be quiet but you feel that at any moment a fight could start. The police say these young people are probably harmlessperhaps they just hang around the square because there's nothing better to do. But older people say they are tired of putting up with the noise and litter. These kinds of problems certainly aren't unique to Peterborough. But after trying several different methods, Peterborough City Council has a radical plan to change things.The council's controversial plan to bring peace to the city starts on a Tuesday morning during the half-term holiday. A group of fourteen Chavs and Goths of both sexes are travelling by bus to a secret location in the countryside, ten miles out of town. There are more Chavs than Gothsmaybe it's hard for some Goths to get up in the mornings! When they finally arrive, supervisors ask them to put on camouflage clothing. And then the two gangs spend the rest of the morning pretending to shoot at each other.Don't worrythe guns are not real (they fire plastic balls filled with paint) and it's all for fun. But isn't it dangerous to fight aggression with aggression? Is a game of paintball really the best way to bring young people together? Steve Mayes, the organizer of the event, feels that it is. He thinks these controversial games give the two groups something to do and can start them talking. 4 It gets rid of a lot of energy tooit's much better than playing games on Playstations and Xboxes,' he says. Meanwhile, the Chavs and Goths are fooling around： there's a lot of shouting and laughter and everyone appears to be having fun.At the end of the day Steve Mayes believes the event was a successthe two groups are already talking to each other. 'It，s like football,' says Denise, another organizer. You choose which team you belong to. But at the end of the day, Chavs and Goths are the same sort of people.'16. The scenes that are described in the first paragraph don't happen very often.17. The shoppers in Peterborough are afraid to look at the young people in the square.18. The police don't think the young people are dangerous.19. Peterborough isn't the only place where you can find such problems.20. Only boys are taking part in the council's events.Passage B(2 points each, 10 points in total)Read the article and match paragraph AE with what the writer tries to tell the readers (21 25) in each paragraph.囚 Edinburgh is a beautiful historic city which is situated on the river Forth on the east coast of Scotland. Although it's the capital city, it isn't very big： it has only about half a million inhabitants.回 I really love the old town which goes from the Castle to Holyrood Palace. There are lots of amazing old buildings there. But my favourite place is the Royal Park. lt，s a huge park with an ancient volcano called Arthur's Seat. From the top there is an incredible view of the river and the surrounding countryside.c The only thing I don't like is the weather. It's always windy here even when it's sunny. There are some really nice beaches nearby but it's too cold to go swimming.5 You can't get bored in Edinburgh. There are lots of things to do especially in August. That ' s when the international arts festival takes place. There are some very interesting museums and galleries, and you can also go on some great historical tours about ghosts and so on. Another thing I like about Edinburgh is it's great for shopping. It，s got all the major chain stores and some interesting little shops.回 Edinburgh is my favourite city. There are lots of things to see and do and it's not too big, so you can get to most places on foot.21. Good points22. Bad points23. Background information24. Things you can see and do25.

Reading comprehension (30 points)Passage A(4 points each920 points in total)Read the following script of a radio program* Choose the best answer for the questions followed.Then write your answer on the answer sheetPresenter； American accent So. . what did happen to Amelia Earhart on her last flight? With me in the studio I'm joined by Bruce Holtz, who has been studying the story for many years. Bruce, can you tell us some of the theories about Amelia's tragic accident?Bruce： West Coast US accent Well, according to some theories Amelia didn't actually die. For many years some people believed that she survived and then worked for the Japanese during the war.Presenter: The Japanese? You have to remember that Japan was America's big enemy, even in the 1930s.Bruce： Yes, that's right. The story is that during the Second World War，the Japanese broadcast anti-US propaganda on the radio to America. This was read by someone who called herself Tokyo Rose, an American woman living in Japan. Some people thought that perhaps Tokyo Rose was Amelia Earhart. However, Amelia's husband listened to dozens of tapes of the broadcasts but he couldn't identify his wife's voice. So the theory seems unlikely.Presenter： Mmm. What other theories are there?Bruce： Well, another theory was that Amelia was actually a US spy and that she was caught and killed by the Japanese. In 1937 a 15-year-old boy said he heard Amelia Earhart on his radio on 2 July, the day she disappeared. He said that he heard a scream and the woman said Japanese soldiers had entered the plane.Presenter： Well, that sounds quite convincing, doesn't it?Bruce： Er, yes and no. You have to remember that Americans were very worried about Japan back then. Any information from the Pacific region about what the Japanese were doing was very useful. Amelia could have tried to get information-like taking photos. But if she was a spy, there would definitely be files and documents about this in the FBI and government records. The problem is that many researchers spent a long time searching these records in the 1990s and they didn't find any information at all about Amelia being a spy.Presenter： Which theories are more likely then?Bruce： Well, probably the simplest explanation is that Amelia simply ran out of gas and crashed into the ocean. In fact, Amelia did definitely mention that she was starting to run out of gas in her last radio message. But there was no sign of panic and we have since calculated that she must have had enough fuel for at least four more hours when she disappeared. So, it's an easy explanation but it's also easy to prove that it's not true. Perhaps the most intriguing story comes from the island of Nikumaroro in the Pacific. Years after Amelia's disappearancet some researchers on the island noticed that the islanders were using metal plates. The metal looked like it could have come from an aeroplane.Presenter： So you're saying that Amelia tried to land her plane on another island. This Niko, er.Bruce： Nikumaroro, yes. Perhaps they decided to land there because they knew the fuel would run out.Presenter： Or perhaps they had made a mistake-they thought they had reached their destination-Howland Island. But it was the wrong island.Bruce： Of course, that is also a possibility. Remember-these islands are very small andAmelia's plane would have been very high up above the ocean. You can imagine how easy it is to choose the wrong island by mistake. But remember that Fred Noonan was a very experienced navigator, perhaps the best in the world at the time.Presenter： But I thought that the US Navy spent 16 days looking for the planband that ships and Navy planes explored all the islands in the area?Bruce： That is correct. The Navy claimed that they had searched the island in 1937. But who knows? The plane might have crashed into the sea as they were trying to land on the island and was never found.Presenter: OK. Now finally9 something I've really wanted to ask. I remember an episode of Star Trek from years ago that mentioned Amelia Earhart. The story suggested that Amelia and Fred Noonan had been captured by aliens! Is there any evidence for this?Bruce： It's a nice story but I don't think you need me to answer that question. . t Presenter： Er, OK. Bruce Holtz, thank you.16.

The story about the metal plates on Nikumaroro suggests thatA. Amelia had met the islanders.B. the plane might have landed or crashed nearby.C. the US Navy hadn't searched the area near the island.D.

Bruce doesn't want to answer the question about Star Trek becauseA. he hadn't seen it.B. he didn't have any evidence for the theory.C. he didn't think it was a serious question.D. he didn't like the series.Passage B(2 points each JO points in total)Read the following passage and match sentences A-F with gaps 21-25.
