The last day of the final examination arrived. In a large eastern university, on the steps of one building, a group of students were talking about the exam that was going to begin in a few 26. On their faces was confidence. This was their 27 exam—then on to graduation and jobs.
　　Some talked of jobs they already had, others talked of jobs they 28 get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt 29 and able to take control of the world.
　　The coming exam, they knew, would be a(n) 30 task, as the professor had said they could bring 31books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not 32 each other during the test.
　　33 they entered the classroom. The professor handed out the papers. And smiles 34 on the students’ faces as they found there were only five questions.
　　Three hours had passed 35 the professor began to collect papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.
　　He looked at the 36 faces before him, and then asked, “How many completed all five questions?” 37 a hand was raised.
　　“How many answered four?” Still no hand.
　　“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.
　　“One, then? Certainly somebody finished 38 .”But the class remained silent.
　　The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I 39 ,” he said. “I just want you to know that, although you have completed four years of study, there are 40 many things about the 41 you don’t know. These questions you could not answer are relatively common in 42 practice.” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all 43 this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education had just 44 .”
The years have weakened the name of the professor, but not the 45 he taught.

　　Good afternoon, and welcome to England. We hope that your visit here will be a pleasant one. Today, I would like to draw your attention to a few of our laws.

　　The first one is about drinking. Now, you may not buy alcohol in this country if you are under 18 years of age, nor may your friends buy it for you.

　　Secondly, noise. Enjoy yourselves by all means, but please don't make unnecessary noise, particularly at night. We ask you to respect other people who may wish to be quiet.

　　Thirdly, crossing the road. Be careful. The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country. Use pedestrian crossing and do not take any chances when crossing the road. My next point is about litter（throwing away waste material in a public place）. It is an offence to drop litter in the street.

　　When you have something to throw away, please put it in your pocket and take it home, or put it in a litter bin. Finally, as regards smoking, it is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco if you are under 16 years of age.

　　I'd like to finish by saying that if you require any sort of help or assistance, you should contact your local police station, who will be pleased to help you.

　　Now, are there any questions?

The main purpose of this speech would be to ______.

　　　　A. prepare people for international travel

　　　　B. declare the laws of different kinds

　　　　C. give advice to travelers to the country

　　　　D. inform people of the punishment for breaking laws

　　How many laws are there discussed in the speech？

　　　　A. Three.　　　　 B. Four.　　　　　C. Five.　　　　　 D. Six.

　　From the speech we learn that ______.

　　　　A. in this country, if you are under 18 years of age, you may not buy alcohol, but your friend can buy it for you

　　　　B. you may not buy cigarettes or tobacco unless you are above 16 years of age

　　　　C. because the traffic moves on the left side of the road, you must use pedestrian crossings when crossing the road
