4.Do you have any skiing equipment you are no longer need?A ski school in the far north of India could put it to good use.
In March we published a photostory about the extraordinary Zsnskar region in northern India,which is cut off from the outside wodd for more than seven months of the year,and only accessible via a frozen river.We also included information about the limited use of skiing in the region and the recent creation of the Zanskar Ski School:
"Despite the difficulties of travelling through the region when the snow comes,skiing hash't traditionally been used as a means of transport by the locals,largely because trees don't grow here,so there is little in the way of raw materials from which to make skis.In 1995,a group of British scientists in the region noticed the lack of skis and one of them returned to set up the Zanskar Ski School in Padam.The school provides lessons for a small fee and rents out donated skis to the local people.Among the benefits that the school hopes to bring are improved education-children often find it difficult to get to school through the deep snow-and the possibility of offering ski tours to tourists in the future.So far,more than 300 local people have received training,and local doctors and policemen regularly borrow skis."
But,what we weren't able to include in the article is that the ski school is always on the look out for old skiing equipment-particularly of a size suitable for children-and,I thought.now the European ski season is drawing to a close,there might be a few of you out there who have some old equipment you'd like to see go to a good home.If that's the ease you can get in touch with the school via their website www.zanskarskischooL.org.
66.What's the purpose in writing the text?A
A.To ask people to give away their skis to the school
B.To attract more tourists to the area
C.To appeal to more locals to attend the school
D.To raise money to develop this area

A.it is against the local custom
B.trees are in the way of the skiing route
C.they don't have the wood to make skis
D.it is dangerous to go skiing in this region
68.The Zanskar Ski SchoolB.
A.has donated money to the local community
B.makes it easier for the students to attend school
C.provides special training to the tourists
D.has borrowed many skis from Europe
69.Who would be the most helpful to the school now?C

C.People having old skiing equipment.  D.Tavellers enjoying skiing.
70.What can be the best title for the text?D

C.A good means of transport         D.A home for old skis.

分析 本文主要介紹了在印度北部的Zsnskar 地區(qū),因?yàn)闆]有木材做滑板,缺少雪橇,所以人們出行有困難.一位英國的科學(xué)家在伯德姆建了所學(xué)校培訓(xùn)滑雪技術(shù),也租借給當(dāng)?shù)厝艘恍┭┣,但是還是缺乏設(shè)備,作者希望那些家里有舊的不用的雪橇設(shè)備的人士可以把雪橇設(shè)備捐贈(zèng)給學(xué)校.

解答 66.A 寫作意圖題.根據(jù)第一段的"Doyou have any skiing equipment you no longer need?A ski school in the far north of India could put it to good use."可知,作者是想說服讀者把不用的滑雪設(shè)備送給學(xué)校.故選A.
67.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段的"Despitethe difficulties of travelling through the region when the snow comes,skiing hasn't traditionally beenused as a means of transport by the locals,largely because trees don't grow here,so there is little in the way of raw materials from which to makeskis.可知這個(gè)地區(qū)人們不滑雪的原因主要是沒有木材做滑板,故選C.
68.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段的"Theschool provides lessons for a small fee…"可知這所滑雪學(xué)校使孩子的上學(xué)變得更容易了,故選B.
69.C 推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章最后一段的"there might be a few of you out there who have some oldequipment you'd like to see go to a good home.If that's the ease you can get in touch with the school via theirwebsite www.zanskarskischool.org."可知最有幫助的人是那些有舊的滑雪設(shè)備的人,可以把它們捐給學(xué)校,故選C.
70.D 主旨大意題.文章主要介紹了印度北部的Zsnskar 地區(qū),缺少雪橇出行不便,而有些人家里有舊的不用的雪橇設(shè)備,可以捐贈(zèng)給那些需要的人,因此最好的標(biāo)題是給舊雪橇找個(gè)家,故選D.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是廣告布告類閱讀,閱讀這類文章時(shí),應(yīng)該在整體把握文章結(jié)構(gòu)的前提下,主要注意細(xì)節(jié)信息.做題時(shí),根據(jù)所提問題用尋讀、跳讀的方法找到題干在原文中的出處,再把原文和選項(xiàng)相比較,可達(dá)到事半功倍的效果.

A.recently      B.a(chǎn)ffects      C.pattern      D.varied   E.floats
F.warm        G.regularly    H.mysterious   I.effect    J.evidence
Big climate changes in the last million years might have come from something very small dust from outer space.
Earth changes between ice ages and warm periods in a(n) (41)Cthat includes several cycles,including a (42)H one that lasts 100,000years.Scientists (43)Asuggested this cycle might be due to changes in the inflow of cosmic(宇宙) dust.
The idea is that Earth (44)Eabove and below the imaginary planet that runs through the sun and Jupiter(木星),completing a cycle every 100,000years.So maybe it encounters (45)Gvarying amounts of dust during each cycle that produce the climate trend.
Now there is some (46)J,from ancient cosmic dust recovered in ocean-floor drilling near the Azores islands west of Portugal.The large quantity of the dust rises and falls with a wonderful 100,000year cycle during the period analyzed,253,000years to 458,000years ago.Periods of more dust are related to(47)F climates.
But that is a long way from showing that the dust (48)Bclimate.Some scientists argue that it is not clear how cosmic dust would make the climate warmer while dust from volcanoes is known to make it cooler.They say the cosmic dust is so thin that it is hard to see how it could have any climate(49)I.
Nevertheless,the new study shows scientists have to take the cosmic dust idea seriously.
