The first is broadly the way Britain is at the moment: a mosaic of communities--Bangladesh

i, Afro- Caribbean, Chinese or Jewish holding fast to a strong social identity, but lumbered also with a whole raft of benefits and disadvantages, most of them defined in economic terms l6. It's possible that will still be the pattern in 50 years time, but not very likely.

……

The alternative is a pick-and-mix social landscape. At the moment ethnic minorities are moving in different directions at different rates, with personal and social engagement across ethnic boundaries increasing all the time. One crude indicator is the level of mixed race marriage: one in five Bangladeshi and Pakistani men born in Britain now has a white wife, and one in five babies born in Britain has one Afro-Caribbean and one white parent.

This implies a Britain in which people will construct multiple identities defined by all sorts of factors: class, ethnicity, gender, religion, profession, culture and economic position. It won't be clear-cut. Not all ethnic minorities, or members of an ethnic minority, will be moving in the same direction or identifying the same issues at the heart of their identities. It's about deciding who you are, but also about how other people define you.

That's what will be at the heart of the next 50 years: enduring communities linked by blood through time versus flexible, constantly shifting identities. Identity won't be about where you have come from; it will be a set of values you can take anywhere that is compatible with full participation in whichever society you live in.

听力原文：M: Are traveling facilities good in the rest of Britain？

W: Well, we've got the railways that connect all our big towns. There're over 13,000 miles of track in Britain. Rail transport provides a very important service to the public, to industry and commerce.

M: What about road transport？ Are your roads good？

W: Yes, they are on the whole. We've got about a quarter of a million miles of roads, and multi-motorways are appearing everywhere. We should have over one thousand miles of motorways soon.

M: Is there a good internal air service in Britain？

W: Well, yes. But it is not as important as our rail and road transport systems.

M: But British air services, the BEA and the BOAC, are world famous, aren't they？

W: Oh yes, our international air services are very good. London Airport is one of the busiest airports in the world.

M: What about travel by sea？

W: As an island people and a trading nation, Britain's seafaring traditions have always been great. We used to have the biggest merchant navy in the world, carrying a third of the world's passengers, you know.

M: But I suppose today sea travel has diminished in importance, hasn't it？

W: It has. But some people still prefer traveling by sea to any other forms of transport.

第3题

I find it easiest to look forward by looking back to the "Great Labor Migration" of 1948-5

5, seen at the time as a matter of black guests coming to a white host. It's a quasi-imperial perception that has shifted since the 1970s, but the social problems and deficiencies it engendered dog us still.

It's highly questionable whether Britain is an open society even now. Against the upward trend in the 1980s of ethnic minorities breaking into the professions and the media must be set objective evidence of a very racist society. Since the Stephen Lawrence affair the government has at least been talking about the existence of racism, but it's always the case that racism diminished in times of prosperity. When the economic going gets tough, people want someone to take their feelings out on.

The social landscape seems to me at a surreal crossroads. Britain fosters images of itself as homogenous, to be white is no longer the central defining feature, but there remain various kinds of "Britishness". So I can envisage the future in two very different ways.

The first is broadly the way Britain is at the moment: a mosaic of communities: Bangladeshi, Afro-Caribbean, Chinese or Jewish holding fast to a strong social identity, but lumbered also with a whole raft of benefits and disadvantages, most of them defined in economic terms. It's possible that will still be the pat-tern in 50 years time, but not very likely. Instead, I expected the old duality of a "host community" and "immigrants" whose bad luck it is to be excluded and disadvantaged to have vanished. Some ethnic commu-nities may make a point of survival, but only those who are most proud of their cultural roots.

The alternative is a pick-and-mix social landscape. At the moment ethnic minorities are moving in different directions at different rates, with personal and social engagement across ethnic boundaries increasing all the time. One crude indicator is the level of mix-'race marriage: one in five Bangladeshi and Pakistani men born in Britain now has a white wife, and one in five babies born in Britain has one Afro-Caribbean and one white parent.

This implies a Britain in which people will construct multiple identities defined by all sorts of factors: class, ethnicity, gender, religion, profession, culture and economic position. It won't be clear-cut. Not all ethnic, minorities, or members of an ethnic minority, will be moving in the same direction of identifying the same issues at the heart of their identities. It's about deciding who you are, but also about how other people define you.

What does the term "dog" in Line 3, Para. 1 most possibly mean？

A．Punish.

B．Protest against.

C．Follow closely and bother.

D．Safeguard and protect.

Part A

Directions: Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.

Britain is not just one country and one people, even if some of its inhabitants think so. Britain is, in fact, a nation which can be divided into several separate parts, each part being an individual country with its own language character and cultural traditions. Thus, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales(and even Cornwell perhaps )do not claim to belong to "England" Welsh (or Cornish )and many of them prefer to speak their own native tongue which in turn can' t be understood by the others.

These cultural minorities have been Britain' s original inhabitants. In varying degrees they have managed to preserve their national identity, their particular customs and ways of life. This is probably even more true of the industrialism as the border areas have been. The Celtic races are said to be Scots would rather forget about their reputation for excessive thrift and for their singing. The Celtic temperament as a whole produces numerous writers Welsh Dylan Thomas, to mention but a few.

Some British people regard Britain as _____________.

A．a single, unified country

B．a country of foreign cultures

C．a wholly Celtic country

D．an individualistic unit

第5题

There are spectacular differences between financial markets on the Continent of Europe on

the one hand, and in Britain on the other hand. In Britain, the market is really the City of London. It is a free market, and it controls most of the flow of savings to investment. On the Continent, either a few banks or government institutions dominate the money markets. In France and Italy, for example, government officials direct the flow of funds to suit their economic plans. In Germany the flow is directed by the all-powerful banks. In Britain there are more free interplay of market forces and far fewer regulations, rules and "red tape". A French banker summed it up this way: "On the Continent you can't do anything unless you've been told you can; in England on the other hand you can do everything as long as you haven't been told not to. "

There are many basic reasons for these differences. One is that Continental savers tend to prefer gold, cash or short-term assets. They invest only 10% of their savings in institutions like pension funds or insurance companies. But in Britain 50% of saving goes to them, and they, in turn, invest directly in equity market. A far lower proportion of savings is put in the banks in the form. of liquid assets than on the Continent. Continental governments intervene directly or through the banks to collect savings together and transform. them into medium or long-term loans for investment. The equity market is largely bypassed. On the Continent economic planning tends to be far more centralized than in Britain. In Britain it is possible to influence decisions affecting the country's economy from within the City. It attracts skilled and highly qualified work force. In France, on the other hand, an intelligent young man who wants a career in finance would probably find the civil service more attractive.

In Britain the market, or more accurately, money tends to be regarded as an end in itself. On the Continent it is regarded as a means to an end; investment in the economy. To British eyes continental systems with the possible exception of the Dutch seem slow and inef-ficient. But there is one outstanding fact the City should not overlook, British's growth rates and levels of investment over the last ten years have been much lower than on the Continent. There are many reasons for this, but the City must take part of the blame. If it is accepted that the basic function of a financial market is to supply industry and commerce with finance in order to achieve desired rates of growth, it can be said that by concentrating oil the market for its own sake the City has tended to forget that basic function.

What is the best title for the passage？

A．Savings and the Growth Rate.

B．Banking and Finance: Two Different Realities.

C．Monetary Policy in Britain.

D．The European Continent and Britain.

Direction：There are five passages in this part，Each passage is followed by five questions

or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choice marked A，B，C and D. Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.

Passage One

They may be one of Britain’s most successful exports and among the world’s most popular TV shows，ranking alongside the World Cup Final and the Olympics Games opening ceremony in terms of audience. But，in Britain，beauty competitions are unfashionable. To most people，beauty contests seems as out-dated as bowing. Nicolas Baker，a lawyer in London，said that“As much as I think it’s fine for women to do it，I don’t think it’s interesting and in fact，I think they’re irrelevant to today.”Last year，Miss World was broadcast to 142 countries，but it wasn’t even shown in the country where it started in 1951.

It wasn’t always this way in Britain. Once beauty queens dated footballers，traveled the world and were guaranteed fame，fortune and fun. Now，they open new supermarkets，are sponsored by dry-cleaning companies and if they’re lucky，they get free clothes from supermarkets.

When Francesca Marchant was crowned Miss Sussex in 1969，it was something to be extremely proud of“I came from a small town，and all my friends were green with envy when they found out I’d won. My boyfriend at the time thought it was terrific and boasted to everyone that he was going out with a beauty queen.

But the good times couldn’t last. The feminist movement gathered momentum. Some women were determined to bring an end to these“cattle shows.” Nowadays，saying that you were a beauty queen just doesn’t sound good.

Miss World organizers claim that contestants are judged on qualities other than just their physical appearance. But Jacqueline Gold，England’s representative at this year’s contest，was not chosen because of her academic record. The Miss World Website states that she“left school having gained many computer qualifications，and certificates in First Aid and Lift Saving.”meaning，not much of an education.

The only time contests attract attention now is because of the protesters. At the 1999 Miss World in Britain around 60 demonstrators hurled flour bombs and fought with the police. They denounced the beauty contest as a“sexist cattle market”. They waved banners saying“fat girls are cool”and“women’s bodies are not for sale.”

31. Beauty contests in Britain are now .

A. bringing huge benefits for the country

B. as popular as the World Cup Final

C. no longer popular in the country

D. widely protested in the country

Do you wish to enter a summer school of English in Britain？ Here are some tips(指导).

Most summer school courses in Britain last for two to four weeks. During that time, students live either with a British family, or at the school, or in a hotel. They have about 15 hours of lessons every Monday to Friday, usually in the mornings. Each school has a lot of different courses. Some arc for beginners and others are for intermediate or advanced students. The lessons are fun, the classes are small and the teachers are all from English-speaking countries.

第10题

Are you single but too busy to search for love？ Then you need to try the latest dating phe

nomenon that is sweeping across the UK--speed dating.

Speed dating involves men and women meeting in a room and finding out as much as they can about possible partners in three minutes. It's proving very popular with Britain's young people who find that they haven't got the time to meet that special one. At a speed dating event, you are given three minutes to talk, one on one, with a member of the opposite sex. Then a bell is rung and you move to another person and start chatting again. By the end of the evening you will have spoken with up to twenty men or women.!

If, by the end of a conversation, you fancy the person or would like to see them again, you write it down on a card. Then, if the other person also fancies you, the organisers will contact you with their details.

But is three minutes long enough to make an impression and work out if you want to see someone again？ Research suggests that chemistry can be felt within the first thirty seconds of meeting someone, and that is what speed dating is all about, knowing quickly if you are going to like someone.

And what about romance？ Is it possible to make a good judgment in such a short time？ After all, people say you can't hurry love. However, Britain will soon have its first marriage from a speed dating.

So, if you are on a mission to find Mr. or Miss Right, what have you got to lose？ At worst, you still go honie on your own. But at best, the person of your dreams could be just three minutes away.

Speed dating is ______.

A．starting a dating within 3 minutes

B．ending a dating within 3 minutes

C．Dating as fast as one can

D．finding a possible partner within 3 minutes.
