Speaking of Londoners，a stereotype comes to mind―a man in a dark suit with an umbrella in hand and Big Ben barely visible against the foggy sky. Londoners often give the impression of being reserved.

But The New York Times recently issued a report headlined "True Londoners Are Extinct". What defines a Londoner exactly? The criteria can be tricky.

The newspaper discovered that over the last decade，the foreign-born population in London reached 2.6 million，about a third of the city' s population.

"Foreigners can't be Londoners，" a British political campaigner told the newspaper.

A true Londoner would never support Manchester United,the newspaper quoted a man in a pub. Fair enough，since one has four other top league clubs to choose from，you must be too ignorant to be a Londoner.

Next issue is where you live. There are those who believe that true Londoners are cockneys― those who were born within earshot of Bow Bells.

The oddest claim of all was from a pub goer: "A real Londoner would never, never, ever,eat at one of those bloody Angus steakhouses in the West End. That' s how you tell."

Indeed,London is a city "prejudiced" with directions. You quickly discover which part of the city suits your temperament. West London,one woman said to The New York Times, was too "brittle" for her. But the West End is the place where the noble accent was born along with shopping malls and top residential estates.

South Londoners hate going north. North Londoners forget there's a south beyond the South Bank. East London is close to the port and the site of early industrial development. It, s often considered one of the poorest areas in the city.

"You can' t cut the prejudice out of London，" a university student said to the newspaper. But it is this uneasy charm that gives the city its unique dynamic.

( ) 1, The author thinks the claims of who are true Londoners are .

A. strange B. special C. creative D. misleading

( ) 2. If a Londoner supports Manchester United, he will be considered

A. tricky B. honest C. ignorant D. tolerant

( ) 3. Which of the following is an opinion rather than a fact?

A. The West End occupies some Angus steakhouses.

B. There are four other top football league clubs in London.

C. East London is close to the port and the site of early industry.

D. True Londoners are cockneys born within earshot of Bow Bells.

4. She started singing to the children and was (reward)

她开始给孩子们唱歌，孩子们则报以微笑。

4. When the invaders came into their palace their relics, they fought

against the enemy with their flesh and blood. (search)

当侵略者进入宫殿搜寻古物时，他们用血肉之躯抵抗敌人。

3. Finally they arrived in Xiangyang now. (what)

最后他们到达了一个现在被称为襄阳的地方。

10. Tom admitted having cheated in the exam, next time. (promise)

Tom承认了考试作弊并保证下次不会那样做了。
