The two things-snow and mountains-which are needed for a ski area are the two things that cause avalanches(雪崩), large mass of snow and ice crushing down the side of a mountain-often called "White Death." It was the threat of the avalanche and its record as a killer of man in the western mountains that created the snow ranger. He first started on avalanche control work in the winter of 193738 at Alta, Utah, in Wasatch National Forest. This mountain valley was becoming well known to skiers. It was dangerous. In fact, more than 120 persons had lost their lives in 1936 and another 200 died in 1937 as a result of avalanches before it became a major ski area. Thus, development of Alta and other major ski resorts in the west was dependent upon controlling the avalanche. The Forest Service set out to do it, and did, with its corps(团队)of snow rangers. It takes many things to make a snow ranger. The snow ranger must be in excellent physical condition. He must be a good skier and a skilled mountain climber. He should have at least a high school education, and the more college courses in geology, physics, and related fields he has, the better. He studies snow, terrain, wind, and weather. He learns the conditions that produce avalanches. He learns to forecast avalanches and to bring them roaring on down the mountainsides to reduce their killing strength. The snow ranger learns to do this by using artillery(炮), by blasting with TNT, and by the difficult and skillful art of skiing avalanches down. The snow ranger, dressed in a green parka which has a bright yellow shoulder patch, means safety for people on ski slopes. He pulls the trigger(扳机) on a 75 mm. Recoilless rifle(无后坐力步枪), skis waist deep in powder testing snow stability, or talks with the ski area"s operator as he goes about his work to protect the public from the hazards(危险)of deep snow on steep mountain slopes. |
1. A snow ranger himself must be ________. |
A. a college graduate B. a physicist C. a geologist D. a mountaineer |
2. A snow ranger uses very powerful guns________. |
A. to warn skiers of an approaching avalanche B. to signal for help in an emergency C. to create an avalanche D. to communicate with the ski area"s operator |
3. The primary duty of the snow ranger is ________. |
A. to make sure ski area"s operators are following safety rules B. to predict and control avalanches in mountainous areas C. to check skis and repair them D. to forecast the weather |
4. The passage implies that a snow ranger ________. |
A .knows how to use a pistol B. must write lengthy reports on his work C. may travel many miles when he is on duty D.has a long working day |

No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world, but estimates (估计) suggest the figure is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada. In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people: as we get older, many of us will become less mobile, hard of hearing or have failing eyesight. Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people"s attitude towards them. Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability, not their disability, which counts. |
1. The first paragraph points out that . |
A. there are many disabled people in the world B. the number of disabled people in India is the greatest C.India has much more disabled people than Canada D. it is impossible to get an exact figure of the world"s disabled people |
2. The key word in paragraph 4 is . |
A. disability B. ignorance C. prejudice D. barriers |
3. The last word of the passage "counts" most probably means " ". |
A. is most important B. is considered C. is included D.is numbered |
4. It can be concluded from the passage that . |
A. we should try our best to prevent disability B. both physical and mental barriers are hard to break down C. we must take a proper attitude towards the disabled D. the able-bodied people will never fully understand the disabled |

More than 50 years ago the idea of disabled people doing sport was never heard of. But when the yearly Games for the disabled were started at Stoke Mandeville, England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann, the situation began to change. Sir Ludwig Guttmann, who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi Germany, had been asked by the British government to set up an injuries centre at Stoke Mandeville Hospital near London. His ideas about treating injuries included sport for the disabled. In the first Cames just two teams of injured soldiers took part. The next year, 1949, five teams took part. From those beginnings, things have developed fast. Teams now come from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year. In 1960 the first Olympics for the disabled were held in Rome, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games. Now, every four years the Olympic Games for the disabled are held, if possible, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games, although they are organized separately. In other years Games for the disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville. In the 1984 wheelchair Olympic Cames, 1 064 wheelchair athletes (运动员) from about 40 countries took part. Unfortunately, they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles, along with the other Olympics. The Cames have been a great success in helping the progress of international friendship and understanding, and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can"t enjoy sport. One small source (来源 ) of disappointment for those who organize and take part in the Games, however, has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee (委员会) to include disabled events at the Olympic Games for the able-bodied. Perhaps a few more years are still needed to persuade those fortunate enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athletes should be included. |
1. The first Cames for the disabled were held after Sir Ludwig Guttmann arrived in England. |
A.40 years B. 21 years C. 10 years D. 9 years |
2. Besides Stoke Mandeville, surely the Games for the disabled were once held in . |
A. New York B. London C. Rome D. Los Angeles |
3. This text tells us that Sir Ludwig Guttmann . |
A. is an early organizer of the Games for the ablebodied B. is welcomed by the British government C. is an injured soldier D. is from England |
4. From the passage, we may know that the writer is . |
A. one of the organizers of the Cames for the disabled B. a disabled person who once took part in the Games C. against holding the Games for the disabled . D. in favour of holding the Cames for the disabled |
