根据下列材料请回答 26～30 题：BToday there are policemen everywhere, but in 1700, London had no policemen at all. A few old men used to protect the city streets at night and they were not paid.About 300 years ago, London was starting to get bigger and more and more people began to live there. The city was very dirty and many people were poor. There were so many thieves who stole money in the streets that people stayed in their homes as much as possible.In 1750, Henry Fielding started to pay a group of people to stop thieves. They were like policemen and were called "Bow Street Runners" because they worked near Bow Street.Fifty years later, there were 120 "Bow Street Runners", but London had become very big and needed more policemen. So in 1829, the first Metropolitan (or London)Police Force was started with 3,000 officers. Most of the men worked on foot, but a few rode horses. Until 1920 all the police in London were men.Today. the London police are quite well paid and for the few police officers who still ride horses, the pay is even better than for the others.第 26 题 In 1700, the men who protected the streets were paid __________.A． a fewB． nothingC． a littleD． a lot

When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share. When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and "too serious" about our stud- ies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say:"Let's start with a train whistle today." We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped. When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend, he was in despair and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other. For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in ~ a funny way, in the other's dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think : "Yes, I must tell..." We have never met. It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist,who will only fill up the healing silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend. In paragraph 3, "We gave London to each other" probably means__________.A. our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of usB. we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from LondonC. our unpleasant feeling about London disappearedD. we parted with each other in London
Passage TwoEvery year just after Christmas theJanuary Sales start.All the shops reduce their prices and for two weeks,theyare full of people looking for bargains.My husband and I do not normally go tothe sales as we don′t like crowds and in any case are short of money as we haveto buy lots of Christmas presents.Last year,however,I took my husband with me to the sales at thelarge shop in the center of London.We both needed some new clothes and werehoping to find a television set.When we got to Oxford Street,it was so crowdedthat we decided to split up and meet again at the underground station.So Ileft my husband and started looking around the shops.Unfortunately all theclothes were in very large sizes and so were not suitable for me.But I did buya television at a very cheap price,so I felt quite pleased with myself.When I arrived at thestation,my husband was not there.So I sat down in a nearby car6 to have a cupof tea.I quickly finished my tea when I saw my husband and went out to meethim.He looked very happy.Then I saw he was carrying a large and heavycardboard box."Oh,dear!"I thought.Yes,we had no new clothes buttwo televisions.We shall not be going to the sales again.The husband and wife in the story__A.wished to buy a TVB.went to the sales the year beforeC.often went to the sales to buy clothesD.were usually not short of money afterChristmas
Text 4 Shortly after The Economist went to press,about 25,000 people were expected to rurn up at the London Art Fair.Your correspondent visited just before,as 128 white booths were being filled with modern paintings and sculptures.Dealers clutched mobile phones to their ears or gathered in small groups.They seemed nervous-as well they might be."I can eam a year's living in one fair,"said one harried dealer while stringing up a set oflights.Before 1999 London had just one regular contemporary art fair,remembers Will Ramsay,boss of the expanding Affordable Art Fair.This year around 20 will be held in Britain,mostly in the capitaL Roughly 90 will take place worldwide:The success of larger events such as Frieze,which started in London,has stimulated the growth of smaller fairs specialising in craft work,ceramics and other things.Art14,which started last year,specialises in less well-known intemational galleries,showing art from Sub-Saharan Africa,South Korea and Hong Kong.One explanation for the boom is the overall growth of the modern-art market.Four fifihs of all art sold at auction worldwide last year was from the 20th or 21st century,according to Artprice,a database.In November an auction in New York of modern and contemporary art made$691m（￡422m）,easily breaking the previous record.As older art becomes harder to buy-much ofit is locked up in museums-demand for recent works is rising.London's art market in particular has been boosted by an influx of rich immigrants from Russia,China and the Middle East."When I started 23 years ago I had not a single non-Western foreign buyer,"says Kenny Schachter,an art dealer."It's a different world now."And London's new rich buy arl differently.They ofien spend little time in the capital and do not know it well.Traipsing around individual galleries is inconvenient,particularly as galleries have moved out of central London.The mall-like set-up of a fair is much more suitable.Commercial galleries used to rely on regular visits from rich Britons seeking to fumish their stately homes.Many were family friends.The new art buyers have no such loyalty.People now visit galleries mainly to go to events and to be seen,says Alan Cristea,a gallery owner on Cork street in Mayfair.Fairs,and the parties that spring up around them,are much better places to be spotted.Some galleries are feeling squeezed.Bemard Jacobson runs a gallery opposite Mr Cristea.The changing art market reminds him ofwhen his father,a chemist,was eclipsed by Boots,a pharmaceutical chain,in the 1960s.Seven galleries in Cork Street relocated this month to make way for a redevelopment;five more may follow later this year.Yet the rise ofthe fairs means galleries no longer require prime real estate,thinks Sarah Monk of the London Art Fair.With an intemational clientele,many can work online or from home.Although some art fairs still require their exhibitors to have a gallery space,increasingly these are small places outside central London or beyond the city altogether.One gallery owner says few rich customers ever visit his shop in south London.He makes all his contacts at the booths he sets up at fairs,which might be twice the sizc of his store."It's a little like fishing:'he explains."You move to where the pike is."Which of the following is not true about art market according to Paragraphs 4 and 5?A.London's art market boosted favorite mainly from overseas.B.London's new rich often spend multiple times in the capital and do not know it.C.commercial galleries used to depend on regular from wealthy people.D.people in recent years visit galleries for events and parties.
共用题干 第二篇 Across the English Channel To swim across the English Channel takes at least nine hours.Its a hard work and it makes you short of breath.To fly over the Channel takes only twenty minutes(as only as youre not held up at the airport),but its an expensive way to travel.You can travel by hovercraft if you dont mind the noise,and that takes forty minutes.Otherwise you can go by boat,if you dreams of being able to drive to France in your own car.Not possible,you say.Well wait a minute.People are once again considering the idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge. This time,the Greater London Council is looking into the possibility of building a Channel link straight to London.A bridge would cost far more than a tunnel, but you would be able to go by rail or by car on a bridge,whereas a tunnel would provide a rail link only. Why is this idea being discussed again?Is Britain becoming more conscious of the need for links with Europe as a result of joining the EEC（欧共体）?Well, perhaps. The main reason, though,is that a tunnel or bridge would reach the twenty square kilometers of Londons disused dockland（船坞地）.A link from London to the continent would stimulate trade and re-vitalize（使重新具有活力）the port, and would make London a main trading center in Europe.
