    　　Tian'anmen. Square. Forbidden City. The Ming Tombs. Summer Palace. The Great Wall Peking Duck. Street of Bars.

    　　I feel like I've been run over by a tractor. Beijing has too much history. It's completely overpowering. I think my friend is just as blinded by the pure brightness of China's long past. Oh… the glory of ancient China still exists. I think out of all the places I visited, I like the Great Wall the best. We climbed, and climbed and climbed. Parts of it were basically straight up. We were out of breath all the way up. But it was all worth it. One sight of the length and lasting power of this monument of humankind blew the wind out of me. From our point of vision, the wall was endless; travels as far as the eye could see.

    　　On a totally unrelated topic, people here really like to use umbrellas and spit(not in that order). A great majority of the women here hold these little colored umbrellas--in fear of darkening the skin. I feel so out of place. I'm really brown. My mom calls me a black cat. One thing I can't get used to is people smoking in the restaurants and stores. Smoking is forbidden in most buildings in America unless there is a specified area . The food, however, is unbelievable. Salivating（流口水）became common.　　I heard the National Entrance Exam ended today or yesterday. I'm still shocked at the idea of having so many exams crowded into two days. Thankfully, we didn't have to go through with it. Instead, we had to deal with the SATs. I had the chance to talk with a few students of my age. I really admire these students. They get the spirit of“patience and perseverance”.

    (1) What reminded the author of his brown skin?

    [　　]

    A．Umbrellas used on the Great Wall.

    B．The women on the Great Wall.

    C．The steep part of the Great Wall.

    D．The author's mother.

    (2) What puzzled the author most according to the passage?

    [　　]

    A．The ancient Chinese buildings.

    B．The Great Wall.

    C．Chinese food.

    D．The way the National Exam held in China.

    (3) Which of the following is an unpleasant experience during the writer's visit in China?

    [　　]

    A．Climbing the Great Wall.

    B．Eating Chinese food.

    C．Smoking is not forbidden in some public places.

    D．So many students took part in the National Exam.

    (4) What's the writer's attitude towards the Chinese students?

    [　　]

    A．Sorry.
    B．Respectful
    C．Pitiful.
    D．Strange.

    　　Good afternoon, and welcome to England. We hope that your visit here will be a pleasant one. Today, I would like to draw your attention to a few of our laws.

    　　The first one is about drinking. Now, you may not buy alcohol in this country if you are under 18 years of age, nor may your friends buy it for you.

    　　Secondly, noise. Enjoy yourselves by all means, but please don't make unnecessary noise, particularly at night. We ask you to respect other people who may wish to be quiet.

    　　Thirdly, crossing the road. Be careful. The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country. Use pedestrian crossing and do not take any chances when crossing the road. My next point is about litter（throwing away waste material in a public place）. It is an offence to drop litter in the street.

    　　When you have something to throw away, please put it in your pocket and take it home, or put it in a litter bin. Finally, as regards smoking, it is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco if you are under 16 years of age.

    　　I'd like to finish by saying that if you require any sort of help or assistance, you should contact your local police station, who will be pleased to help you.

    　　Now, are there any questions?

    The main purpose of this speech would be to ______.

    　　　　A. prepare people for international travel

    　　　　B. declare the laws of different kinds

    　　　　C. give advice to travelers to the country

    　　　　D. inform people of the punishment for breaking laws

    　　How many laws are there discussed in the speech？

    　　　　A. Three.　　　　 B. Four.　　　　　C. Five.　　　　　 D. Six.

    　　From the speech we learn that ______.

    　　　　A. in this country, if you are under 18 years of age, you may not buy alcohol, but your friend can buy it for you

    　　　　B. you may not buy cigarettes or tobacco unless you are above 16 years of age

    　　　　C. because the traffic moves on the left side of the road, you must use pedestrian crossings when crossing the road

    　　　　D. you can't make noise except at night
