B The United States is a large country. From the East Coast to the West Coast it is about 3, 000 miles wide. The Atlantic Ocean is on the East Coast and the Pacific Ocean is on the West Coast. Canada is the country to the north of the United States and Mexico is the country to the south. There are many rivers in the United States. The most important ones are the Mississippi River and the Missouri River in the central part of the country, and the Colorado and Columbia River in west. There are 50 states in the United States today. The American people are of almost every race in the world. This is because of immigrations from abroad throughout American history. The population is now over two hundred million. English is the common language. The largest city in the United States is New York. It is on New York Bay and at the mouth of the Hudson River. 60. It is about three thousand miles wide _________. A. from Canada to Mexico B. from the East Coast to the West Coast C. from the Atlantic Ocean to the East Coast D. from the Pacific Ocean to Canada 61. “The American people are of almost every race in the world,” means ________.

What do you know about New York? A. It is the capital of the United States. B. It is in the central part of the country. C. It is the largest city in the United States. D. It is at the mouth of the Missouri River. 63. New York is ________. A. in the central part of the U. S. B. on the West Coast C. at the mouth of the Mississippi River D. at the mouth of the Hudson River C To swim across the English Channel takes at least nine hours. It’s hard work and it makes you short of breath. To fly over the channel takes only twenty minutes as long as you’re not held up at the airport, but it’s an expensive way to travel. You can travel by hovercraft(气垫船)if you don’t mind the noise and that takes forty minutes. Otherwise, you can go by boat, if you remember your sea-sickness pills. All these means of transport have their problems, and the weary(厌烦的)traveler often dreams of being able to drive to France in his 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 great London Council(议会)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 by rail or by car on a bridge, yet a tunnel would provide a rail link only. Why is this idea being discussed again? Is Britain realizing the need for links with Europe as a result of joining EEC? Well, perhaps, the main reason, though, is that a tunnel or bridge would reach the twenty square kilometers of London’s discussed dockland(船坞). A link from London to the continent would stimulate(刺激)trade and revitalize(使重新具有活力)the port, and would make London a main trading center in Europe. With a link over the Channel, you could buy your fish and chips in England and be able to eat them in France while they are still warm! 64. The weary traveler thinks the best way to cross the Channel is ______. A. by swimming B. in his own car C. by air D. by hovercraft 65. According to the passage, a link from London to the continent would be______. A. necessary for its trade B. important for its politics C. useful for its industry D. helpful for its culture 66. The main idea of the passage is______. A. how to develop the trade of London B. when to cross the Channel C. how to get to Europe from London more conveniently D. what to do in the developing of traveling D Ma Lili’s parents are going to give a birthday party for her.
