Lying near the French-Italian border (边界), Monaco is not part of France, but a separate principality (公国), though it is surrounded by its greatest neighbour. Monaco became a principality in the 16th century after being owned by a family member of a certain Italian king. The French and Italians, however, soon came to “protect” it one after another, until 1861, when it became its own master again. Facing the blue Mediterranean (地中海), Monaco is mainly made up of two cities, Monaco, where the palace of the prince (王子) stands, and Monte Carlo (蒙特卡洛), which is a wonderful place for tourists. Every year, around half a million people from all parts of the world come to Monaco, nearly 25 times as much as its population. Believe it or not, Monaco has no soldiers or policemen of its own. Law and order is kept by French police, and French stands for it in its foreign affairs, even the money used in Monaco is franc, too. 46. Monaco is _____________ . A. another name for Monte Carlo B. mostly visited by French tourists C. surrounded by France D. more related to Italy than to France 47. Monaco has a population of _____________. A. over 20,000 B. 200,000 or so C. over 25,000 D. no more than 20,000 48. Which of the following is TRUE? A. The national income of Monaco depends mainly on France. B. Monaco is famous for having no soldiers or policemen of its own. C. Monaco does not have a seat in the UN because it is too small a country. D.

Women are luckier; only abut one in two hundred is affected in this manner. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman. There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything the shades of green --- a strange world indeed. (责任编辑:admin) |
