听力原文：W: Tom, do you know why Britain is separated from the continent?

M: No. But I guess millions of years ago Britain was also a part of the Continent.

W: You are right. Nearly 10,000 years ago, at the end of the Ice Age, a great flood washed over a wide, low plain, and created the English Channel. From then on, the island of Britain was isolated from the rest of Europe.

M: I know there have been many people who have wanted to swim across the Channel, and some of them have succeeded.

W: What's more, quite a lot of people have thought of building a channel tunnel since the 18th century, but no one thought this dream would come true. Now, however, the channel tunnel, the longest underwater passage on the earth, has been built.

M: When was it built?

W: A British team started to drill southeast from Dover and a French team started to drill northwest from Sangatte in 1987. The two teams met under the channel in December 1990, and they celebrated the completion of the 23-mile shaft.

M: Was it opened to the public immediately?

W: No. The tunnel was opened to the public in 1993 and now it is able to carry up to 30 million passengers a year.

How did the English Channel come into being?

A．Because of a flood 10,000 years ago.

B．Because of an earthquake 10,000 years ago.

C．Because of a flood 100,000 years ago.

D．Because of all earthquake 100,000 years ago.

M: How long will it take to cross the Channel on the trains?

F: 26 minutes. In the past, people had to spend hours on the ferry in rough seas. So the tunnel is welcomed most warmly by all those who care for the future of Europe.

M: Yes. I think it serves to strengthen Britain's links with the continent and especially with France. It will farther strengthen the exchange between peoples and thus lead to better understanding.

F: Surely it will.

Economically, the world can be divided into two parts. The difference between them is that one part is poor and the other is wealthy. In the poor countries of the world, a lot of people never get enough to eat. In the wealthy countries, a lot of people eat too much. The tragedy is that there are more people in the poor countries than there are in the wealthy countries. It is estimated that about 80% of the world' s population cannot afford to have proper food, housing or medical care. The poor countries are often referred to as the Third World. They have special problems. Often their land is too poor to grow anything on. The land can be improved. But a lot of things have to be done first; new farming methods have to be introduced, people have to be educated, and reliable sources of water and energy have to be found.

Many of these problems are too complex for one country to solve alone. Outside help is needed, but it has to be the right kind of help. Money is not enough. Newly developed countries need to be helped to be able to help themselves.
