London’s First Light Rail System The Docklands Light Railway （DLR) took just three years

London’s First Light Rail System The Docklands Light Railway (DLR) took just three years to build at a cost of £77 million. It is London’s first Light Rail System, but its route follows that of a number of older lines, which carried the nineteenth century railways through the crowed districts of the East End.

The section of the line from the Tower Gateway Station to Poplar follows the line of one of London’s earliest railways, the London & Blackwell (1840), a cable-drawn railway (later converted to steam) which carried passengers to steam ships at Blackwell Pier, and provided transport for the messengers and clerks who went backwards and forwards between the docks (码头) and the city every day.

From Poplar to Island Gardens, a new line crosses high above the dock waters, and then joins the old track of the Millwall Extension Railway, built to service the Millwall Docks (1868) and to provide transport for workers in the local factories. This line was horse-drawn for part of its route, until the 1880s.

The Polar to Stratford section of the DLR route was first developed by the North London Railway, built in the 1850s to link the West and East India Docks with the manufacturing districts of the Midlands and North of England. There were major railway works and sidings (岔线)at Bow until recently.

The trains are automatically controlled from a central computer, which deals with all signaling and other safety factors, as well as adjusting speeds to keep within the timetable; on board each vehicle, Train Captains, who are also fully qualified drivers, are equipped with two-way radios to maintain contact with central control. There are passenger lifts, and self-service ticket machines, at every station.

第11题：The passage tells us that London’s first Light Rail System.

A．was constructed in the nineteenth century.

B．will be finished in three years’ time.

C．follows some of the original lines.

D．took three years longer than expected to complete.

Beijing, besides, plans to build an 82.25-kilometer-long subway to add to the existing 53 kilometers. Nine major roads will be rebuilt or widened.

hile the youth stood on the landing-place searching in his pockets for money, the boatman lifted a lantern. By the newly risen moon, he took a very careful look at the stranger's appearance.

The youth, whose name was Robin, paid the boatman, and then walked forward into the town with a light step, as if he had not already traveled more than thirty miles that day.

It was not yet eleven o'clock when a boat crossed the river with a single passenger who wa

s lucky to be able to cross the river at that unusual hour by promising to pay some extra money. While the youth stood in the light place searching his pockets for money, the boatman lifted a lamp, with the help of which, together with the newly risen moon, he took a careful look at the stranger. He was a young man of about eighteen years, clearly country brought up, and was, as it seemed, on his first visit to town. He was wearing a rough grey coat, which was in good shape, and which had seen many winters before this one. The jacket under his coat was made of leather(皮), and fitted tightly to a pair of strong legs; his stockings of blue must have been the work of his mother or sister; on his head was a hat, which in its better days had perhaps protected the grayer head of the young man's father, In his left hand was a walking stick, and on his strong shoulders hung a leather bag. Brown hair, well-shaped features(身体匀称), bright, cheerful eyes were nature's gifts. The youth, whose name was Robin, paid the boatman, and then walked forward into the town with a light step, as if he had not already travelled more than thirty miles that day. As he walked, he looked around as eagerly as if he were entering London or New York instead of the little city in New Eng land.

Which of the following statements is true？

A．The boy was rich.

B．The story took place at a cold snowy(下雪的) night in winter.

C．The boatman wouldn't like to send the young man across the river at first.

D．The boatman knew that the young man's name was Robin.

Passage Two I was only eight years old when the Second World War ended, but I can still r

Passage Two

I was only eight years old when the Second World War ended, but I can still remember something about the victory celebrations in the small town where I lived on the day when the war in Europe ended. We had not suffered much from the war there. But both at home and at school I had become accustomed to the phrases "before the war" and "when the war's over". "Before the war", apparently, things had been better, though I was too young to understand why, except that there had been no bombs then, and people had eaten things like ice -cream and bananas, which I had only heard of . When the war was over we would go back to London, but this meant little to me. I did not remember what London was like.

What I remember now about VE (Victory in Europe) Day was the May evening. After dinner I said I wanted to see the bonfire (大火堆) , so when it got dark my father took me to the end of the street. The bonfire was very high, and somehow people had collected some old clothes to dress the un- mistakable figure with the moustache (胡子) they had to put on top of it. Just as we arrived, they set light to it. The flames rose and soon swallowed the "guy". Everyone was cheering and shouting, and an old woman came out of her house with two chairs and threw them on the fire to keep it going.

I stood beside my father until the fire started to go down, not knowing what to say. He said nothing, either. He had fought in the First World War and may have been remembering the end of that. At last he said, "Well, that's it, son. Let's hope that this time it really will be the last one."

40. Where did the author live before the Second World War？

A. In London.

B. In a small town.

C. In Europe.

D. In the countryside.

Where there is no law, there can be no crimes. The first question, therefore, is: Are ther

e any international crimes？ And the answer is No--for several reasons.

In the first place, there is no body of international law explaining what is meant by international crimes. Secondly, national laws are only useful within a particular country, However, efforts have been made to have certain actions internationally recognized as crimes. It has been accepted by the countries which have joined Interpol (国际刑警组织) that any crime which has an international effect should be considered an international crime.

This can be shown clearly by a recent case in India. An Englishman, pretending that he was a reporter of a leading British daily, canto to India. He showed great interest in the jewelry markets of Delhi and later bought a very expensive gold watch and a couple of gold rings.

One shopkeeper, eager to sell his jewellery, willingly made a deal with him for 22,000 rupees; the only difficulty was the way of payment. The foreigner gave two cheques drawn on the Bangkok branch of the Bank of America, which the shopkeeper accepted, admiring the customer's wealth. The foreigner had, however, given worthless cheques and lost no time in leaving the country with his precious possessions.

The cheques were refused by the bank. The shopkeeper went to the Indian office of Interpol. Interpol. Delhi, on request from the police, quickly got in touch with Interpol, London, and learnt that the international criminal had been caught there for crimes of stealing as well as for giving valueless cheques.

It came to light that he had been related to 27 similar crimes, Interpol asked Britain to send him to Delhi and he was then put into prison and fined 2,000 rupees.

The underlined word "body" (Line 1, Para. 2) in the text means " ______".

A．the article in a law

B．the actual existence

C．people in an organization

D．main part of something
