Napoleon agreed to plans for a tunnel(隧道) under the English Channel in 1802. The British began digging one in 1880. Neither tunnel was completed. Europe has had to wait until the end of the 20th century for the Channel Tunnel. After nearly two centuries of dreaming, the island of Great Britain is connected to Continental Europe for the first time since the Ice Age, when the two land masses moved apart.
On May 6, 1994, Britain’s Queen Elizabeth and France’s President Mitterrand carried out the official opening. The Queen was accompanied(陪同) on her train journey through the historic tunnel by one of her Rolls-Royce cars which was placed on the train.

【答案与解析】本文主要讲述拿破仑早在1802年就同意在英吉利海底修建隧道的计划，英国在1880年就开始挖掘，但都没有完成。大约两个世纪后，即到了1994年，大不列颠岛和欧洲大陆才由海底隧道连接起来。
1. D。语义理解题。从第1段the island of Great Britain is connected to Continental Europe for the first time since the Ice Age 可以看出the island of Great Britain和France是由the tunnel连接起来的。
2. C。语义理解题。第2段第2句话The Queen was accompanied(陪同) on her train journey through the historic tunnel by one of her Rolls-Royce cars which was placed on the train 已明确告知Queen Elizabeth是怎么去参加开幕典礼的。
3. B。判断题。既然1994年以前没有隧道，那当然只有坐船或乘飞机从英国去法国。
4. D。判断题。拿破仑是同意修建隧道的计划，并不是制定计划，故排除A项；接近1994年底，公众才能够坐火车穿过隧道，B项不对；文章并没有说隧道建了多长时间，C项也不对；而隧道修建成功时，英、法两国元首都出席，由此可见隧道对两国的重要性。
