Throughout history,people had dreamed about joining England and France together.Even Napoleon had a plan to dig a tunnel(隧道)?and reach England.0ne of the first people who tried to dig a tunnel under the Chard,(英吉利海峽)was a French engineer called Albert Mathieu。His tunnel failed.
In 1881,Colonel Beamont and Captain English from Britain also tried to dig a tunnel.Their tunnel went six kilometers out into the Channel.Queen Victoria stopped them and said it was dangerous to connect with France.It was a very good tunnel,and it is still there today.
The new tunnel(ready in 1993)is,in fact,three tunnels two for trains and a “service tunnel”for fresh air to go in and for men who take cake of the tunnels.The tunnels are fifty kilometers long,forty meters under water.Forty kilometers of tunnel are under the sea itself.They are the longest undersea tunnels in the world. Trains travel through the tunnels at 1 60 km/h.People drive their cars onto trains and the trains take them through the tunnel.Each train takes 1,500 people and there are trains every ten minutes.

科目:初中英語 來源:2012-2013學年江蘇省無錫市北塘區(qū)九年級中考二模英語卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解
It is common to believe that learning just takes place in school, but much of human learning happens outside the classroom, even from birth and people continue to learn throughout their lives.
Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to use toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments. They learn how to communicate with their parents, grandparents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world. When they enter school, children learn subjects like reading, writing, and maths. They also continue to learn a lot outside the classroom. They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished. They learn social skills for communicating with other children. After they finish school, people must learn to deal with many changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job.
Because learning continues throughout our lives and influences almost everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children. Scientists, social workers and other human service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people’s behaviors.
Learning is closely related (相關的) to memory, which is the storage(儲存) of information in the brain (大腦). Scientists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later offers knowledge when we need it. However, scientists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person’s experiences. ?
1.The underlined word “siblings” in Paragraph 2 probably means _________.
A.teachers B.classmates C.doctors D.brothers or sisters
2.When do children begin to know to behave well according to the passage?
A.After they go into society. B.Before they enter school.
C.When they are at school. D.Before they are born.
3.Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?
A.As a matter of fact, learning begins at a person’s birth and last the whole life.
B.Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate their students.
C.People need to understand how certain experiences change their behaviors.
D.Social workers need to study how experiences affect people’s thoughts.
