阅读理解。     People travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines.
Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their picture taken in front of famous
places. But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.
     Northern European are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences
for the sun because they have so little of it. Residents of cities like London, Copenhagen, and
Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much
of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason the Mediterranean has always attracted
them. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resort and beaches
for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun!
     The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italy"s
30,000 hotels are booked solid every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French
beaches, parks and roadsides. Spain"s long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere
else. 37 million tourists visit yearly, or_one_tourist_for_every_person_living_in_Spain.
     But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle. The Mediterranean
is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism, it"s getting worse.
The French can"t figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez.
And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution.
     None of this, however, is spoiling anyone"s fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every
year with tourists. Obviously, they don"t go there for clean water and solitude. They tolerate traffic
jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don"t even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty
the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it"s still better than
sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.1.The writer seems to imply that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that ________.A.they want to see historic remains or religious spots
B.they are interested in different cultural traditions and social customs
C.they would like to take pictures in front of famous sites
D.they wish to escape from the cold, dark and rainy days back at home2.In Paragraph 2, cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam are mentioned________.A.to show that they are not good cities in terms of geography and climate
B.to tell us how wealthy their residents are
C.to suggest that these cities lack places of historic interest and scenic beauty
D.to prove that they have got more tourism than they handle

3.The latter half of the last sentence in Paragraph 3, "or one tourist for every person living in Spain"
means ________.

A.all the 37 million people living in Spain are tourist
B.every year almost as many tourists visit Spain as there are people living in that country
C.every person living in Spain has to take care of a tourist
D.every Spanish is visited by a tourist every year4.According to the passage, which of the following factors might spoil the tourists" fun at Mediterranean

阅读理解。     While most high school students spend most of their time worrying about who likes who,and
different re lationships between their classmates,I choose to focus on my school lessons and sports.
     When I was young,my mother encouraged me to develop and keep friendship with boys in
order to build strong relationships. But she told me not to risk a good friendship with a boy with
the title of boyfriend. It"s indeed a wise choice to stay friends with those of the opposite sex. In my
opinion, even though some high school relationships might continue after graduation,the probability
of them lasting much longer is so slim that there really is not a point to it.
     Firstly you have to think about such a question-whether it is possible to hurt both of you,or
even hurt both of your future husbands or wives. My second point is that you still can date if you
hope marriage could possibly follow. Except this,there really is not any other reason for dating.
Some students desire relationships for a chance to be romantic. While these are nice to have,there
are many more important things at this point in our lives.
     The titles of boyfriend and girlfriend put too much stress on a relationship between high school
students. Just staying as common friends may be the best choice for us. I strongly recommend we
should deal with it in an appropriate way and follow our teachers" advice if necessary.1.The author writes this passage probably for ________ to read.A.high school students  
B.school teachers
C.parents and teachers  
D.married couples2.Between sexes,the relationship of being good friends might be ________ than that of being
boy/girlfriends.A.weaker  
B.safer
C.slimmer  
D.stronger3.How does the writer like the idea of dating among the students?A.Dating is a nice chance for students to be romantic.
B.Studying is far more important than dating in school.
C.In high school dating can surely lead to future marriage.
D.Dating in high school is sure to hurt your future family.4.The underlined word "it" in the last paragraph might refer to________.A.the title of boyfriend or girlfriend at school
B.advice given by both teachers and parents
C.the pressure from school lessons and sports
D.the relationship between students of opposite sexes

阅读理解     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 mountaineer2. 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 operator3. 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 weather4. 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

阅读理解     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 people2. The key word in paragraph 4 is           .     A. disability
B. ignorance
C. prejudice
D. barriers3. The last word of the passage "counts" most probably means "        ".     A. is most important
B. is considered
C. is included
D.is numbered4. 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
