A 卷（2014 年 1 月 8 日上午使用）

Part A Reading Aloud

After nearly two centuries of dreaming for the Channel Tunnel, the island of Great Britain is finally connected to Continental Europe for the first time since the Ice Age. This exciting new way of traveling to Britain is Europe’s most ambitious construction project in over a century. At 50 kilometers in length, it is one of the longest undersea tunnels in the world. Construction began in 1987 and it took seven years to complete. In fact, this is not one tunnel, but three --- two for rail tracks and one service tunnel for maintenance work, all situated side by side below the sea bed.

Once upon a time, a foreign man traveled to India to explore new things. When he got there, he was so excited to see so many strange things, especially the fresh and colourful fruit. In India, fruit is very expensive and hard to grow because there is so little rain. In one shop, the traveler was happy to see a big basket of very long, red fruit, which was surprisingly cheap. He felt thirsty, so he bought a whole kilo of the fruit and started eating it. But soon his mouth started burning, and his face turned red. He called out loudly “Help! Help!” But he didn’t realize the fruit was the cause of his burning, he carried on eating as he called out for help. People told him to stop because the fruit was red pepper, a kind of hot food which was not suitable to be eaten as fruit! But theman refused to listen to the advice they gave. He thought to himself, “I traveled a long way to India and paid for the fruit. There was no reason for me to waste the money.” So he kept eating the red pepper, jumping up and down.
