Tristan da Cunha, a 38–square–mile island, is the farthest inhabited island in the world, according to the Guinness Book of Records. It is 1,510 miles southwest of its nearest, St. Helena, and I,950 miles west of Africa. Discovered by the Portuguese admiral (上将) of the same name in 1506, and settled in 1810, the island belongs to Great Britain and has a population of a few hundred.

Coming in a close second–and often wrongly mentioned as the most distant land–is Easter Island, which lies 1,260 miles east of its nearest neighbor, Pitcairn Island, and 2,300 miles west of South America.

The mountainous 64–square–mile island was settled around the 5th century, supposedly by people who were lost at sea. They had no connection with the outside world for more than a thousand years, giving them plenty of time to build more than 1,000 huge stone figures, called moai, for which the island is most famous.

On Easter Sunday, 1722, however, settlers from Holland moved in and gave the island its name. Today, 2,000 people live on the Chilean territory (智利领土). They share one street, a small airport, and a few hours of television per day.

1.It can be learned from the text that the island of Tristan da Cunha ________.

A. was named after its discoverer

B. got its name from Holland settlers

C. was named by the British government

D. got its name from the Guinness Book of Records

2.Which of the following is most famous for moai?

A. Tristan da Cuha. 　　　　　　 B. Pitcairn Island.

C. Easter Island. 　　　　　　　 D. St. Helena.

3.Which country does Easter Island belong to?

A. Britain.　　 　 B. Holland.　　 　 C. Portugal.　　 　　 D. Chile.

The Channel is the name given to the stretch of water which separates England and France. Ferries operate all year round to carry people across the Channel, and they are busy most of the year. January is the only quiet month nowadays. As well as summer holiday-makers, there are day trippers and coach traffic, not to mention lorries and other commercial vehicles. Some ferries carry cars and their passengers, while others also connect train passengers with the Continental rail network.

The biggest hazard for the ferry is the wind. The crew listens to BBC weather reports four times a day. Or they sometimes get gale warnings from local radio station.

Crossing the Channel by ferry is a bit like trying to cross Oxford Street on a busy afternoon, according to one ferryboat captain. The ferries from Folkstone and Dover to Calais and Boulogne have to cross the main flow of traffic. This consists of ships traveling through the Channel to and from Northern Europe. There may be four hundred ships making the journey at any one time, and they all pass through a “choke point” which is only fifteen miles (twenty-five kilometers) wide. The cross-channel ferries have to sail right through the middle of all this traffic.

1.The passage is mainly concerned with _____.

A. the English Channel                  B. the weather on the Channel

C. cross-channel ferries                    D. what crossing the Channel by ferry is like

2.The word hazard is closest in meaning to ________.

A. trouble              B. danger           C. enemy            D. problem

3.We can infer from the passage that _______.

A. if there is a gale warning from the BBC, the ferries will stop operating.

B. the traffic on the Channel is very busy only in winter

C. ferries are busiest in the afternoon

D. the crew of the ferry listens to the weather reports four times a day

4.Where does this passage most probably appear?

A. In a dictionary.                     B. In a novel.

C. In a transportation magazine.            D. In a geography textbook.
