阅读理解。     Thousands of people living in the Chinese capital will celebrate the start of the Chinese New Year by
heading for the ski resorts (滑雪场). Never mind that Beijing"s dry weather seldom produces. Now it is
cold enough in winter for snow-making machines to make a covering for the hills north to the capital.
And the rapid growth of a pleasure-seeking middle class has formed the basis for this new craze (热潮).
     Since Beijing"s first ski resort was opened ten years ago, the sport has enjoyed an astonishing increase.
There are now more than a dozen resorts. Clothes markets in the city have added bright colored ski suits
to their winter collections. Mr. Wei, a manager of a newly-opened ski resort in Beijing, sees the growth
of an industry that could soon lead Chinese to head for the ski resorts of Europe. In recent years ski resorts
offering natural snow have opened in China. But many are in faraway areas of the country and can"t really
match the equipment and services of some ski resorts in Europe.
     Beijing"s skiing craze is partly a result of the recent increase in private (私有的) cars. This has led to
the growth of a leisure industry in the capital"s suburbs (郊区), which until the late-1990s were unreachable
to ordinary people. According to Mr. Wei, about 40％ of the visitors go to his resort. Some in their own
cars, the rest are bused in by schools, businesses or government offices.
    The problem is making money. Starting ski resort requires quite a lot of money: hiring land from the local
government, preparing the hills, buying snow machines, making sure there are enough water and electricity
to run them, and buying ski equipment for hiring out to customers. The ski resort where Mr. Wei works
cost nearly $4m to set up. And, as so often in China when someone comes up with a good idea, many others
rush in and price wars break out. Beijing now offers some of the cheapest ski training classes in the world,
though with most people rather new to the sport, expecting a few more doing the same job. 1. What does this text mainly talk about? A. Convenience for skiers brought about by private cars
B. Skiing as a new way of enjoying one"s spare time
C. Things to be considered when starting a ski resort
D. A sudden increase of ski training classes in Beijing 2. Why are some Chinese likely to go skiing in Europe? A. To visit more ski areas
B. To ski on natural snow
C. For a large collection of ski suits
D. For better services and equipment 3. The underlined words "leisure industry" in Paragraph 3 refer to _____.A. transport to ski resorts
B. production of family cars
C. business of providing spare time enjoyments
D. part-time work for people living in the suburbs 4. What is the main problem in running a ski resort? A. Difficulty in hiring land
B. Lack of business experience
C. ski resorts.
D. Shortage of water and electricity

阅读理解。     WASHINGTON-Thanks to strong economic growth and a growing middle class, China has surpassed
India for the first time this decade to become the country that sends the most students to the United States,
according to the annual report the Institute of International Education (IIE) released (发布) on Monday.
     The number of Chinese students in the US has increased by 30 percent during the 2009-2010 academic
year to about 128,000, or 18.3 percent of the total international student population in the country, the report
said.
     "The Chinese economy is booming. The growing middle class are able to send their children abroad for
higher education as many families have only one child and they use all their resources on that child." said
Peggy Blumenthal, executive vice-president of IIE.
     Another reason is that many Chinese parents are attracted by the US higher education system. "American
undergraduate education is really appealing Chinese parents who are thinking about what is needed for China
in the future and how their son or daughter can be employable," Blumenthal said.
     Chinese overseas study agencies expect more Chinese students to go to the US next year, partly due to
the weakened US dollar and more flexible visa policies.
     The study and living costs for an undergraduate Chinese student in the US every year are roughly about
250,000 yuan ($37,000), and the depreciation of the US dollar may save about 10 percent of the cost, said
Liu Qingsheng, a senior manager with Shinyway International, a Beijing-based overseas study consulting
company.
     A more flexible visa policy, which the US started to adopt in 2008, is another major attraction, he said. 1. According to the passage, we know during the 2009-2010 academic year, _____. A. the number of India students in the US has increased
B. as many as 128,000 international students study in the US
C. the number of the Chinese students in the US make first
D. more than 18.3 percent of Chinese students study abroad 2. More Chinese students go to US universities because of the following reasons except _____. A. a more flexible visa policy
B. the US higher education system
C. a proving middle class in China
D. strong economic growth in the US 3. Which of the following can best replace deprecation in the passage? A. rise in quantity
B. decrease in quality
C. fall in value
D. increase in weight

American school and killing 14 of them.

about," said Malcolm Wiley, of the United States Secret Service in an interview with The New York Times.

阅读理解。     OBERLIN, Kansas (AP)-A postcard featuring a color drawing of Santa Claus and a young girl was mailed
in 1914, but its journey was much slower than Christmas. It has just arrived in northwest Kansas recently.
     The Christmas card was dated December 23, 1914, and mailed to Ethel Martin of Oberlin, apparently from
her cousins in Alma, Nebraska.
     "It"s a mystery where it spent most of the last century," Oberlin Postmaster Steve Schultz said.
     "It"s surprising that it never got thrown away," he said. "How someone has found it, I don"t know."
     Ethel Martin has passed away, but Schultz said the post office wanted to get the card to a relative. That"s
how the 93-year-old relic ended up with Bernice Martin, Ethel"s, sister-in-law. She said she believed the card
had been found somewhere in Illinois.
     "That"s all we-know," she said. "But it is kind of curious. We"d like to know how it got down there."
     "The card was placed inside another envelope with a modern postage stamp for the trip to Oberlin-the one
cent postage of the early 20th century wouldn"t have covered it," Martin said.
     "We don"t know much about it," she said. "But wherever they kept it, it was in perfect shape." 1. Who was supposed to have received the postcard? A. Bernice Martin.
B. Ethel Martin.
C. Santa Claus.
