For some countries it is an important _32_ to celebrate each year, while for others a catastrophe (灾害) . But there are countries between these two kinds that normally expect snow sometime over the winter months, but never receive snow _33_ or in the same quantities every year. Brain is one of them, for which the arrival of snow quite simply creates problems. Within hours of the first snowfalls, however _34_, roads are _35_, trains and buses have to stop in the middle of the way. Normal communications are affected as well: telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual. And almost within hours there are also certain _36_ - bread, vegetables and other things - not because all these things cant be produced or sent to shops, but mainly because people are _37_ and go out and store up with food and so on - “just for fear that something bad should happen”.Why then does snow have this effect? After all, the Swiss, Austrians and Canadians dont have such problems. It is simply because there is not enough plan and_38_. We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice. To keep the roads clear, for example, requires snow ploughs and machines to _39_ salt. The reason why a country like Britain does not buy some _40_ is that they are only used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospital education or helping the old.【Keys】: GCJEK AHBDFIII.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.There is a tendency to think of each of the arts as a separate area of activity. Many artists, _41_, would prove that there has always been a warm relationship between the various areas of human activity. _42_, in the late nineteenth century the connections between music and painting were particularly_43_. Artists were invited to design clothes and settings for operas and ballets, but sometimes it was the musicians who were inspired (给以灵感) by the work of contemporary painters. Of the musical compositions that were considered as _44_ to the visual arts, perhaps the most famous is Mussorgskys Pictures at an Exhibition.Mussorgsky _45_ the piece in 1874 after the death, at the age of 39, of the artist Victor Hartmann. Though their friendship had not been a particularly long-lasting one, Mussorgsky was shocked by Hartmanns _46_ death. The following year the critic, Vladimir Stasov, who decided to hold an exhibition of Hartmanns work, suggested that Mussorgsky try to _47_ his grief by writing something in memory of Hartmann.The exhibition served as Mussorgskys inspiration. The ten pieces that make up Pictures at an Exhibition are intended as _48_ rather than representations of the paintings in the exhibition. Between each is a promenade (舞曲中的行进), as the composer walks from one painting to another. The music is sometimes witty ant playful, sometimes almost _49_ and frightening. Through a range of surprising _50_, Mussorgsky manages to convey the spirit of the artist and his work.41. A. therefore B. however C. moreover D. otherwise42. A. For example B. On the contrary C.

It was difficult, 19-week trip, during which she explored the rainforests of Borneo, the Amazon and Congo, travelling around using variety of means of transport, including hot-air balloons and canoes. “Im interested in the way animals communicate with each other. It was sometimes dangerous making the program - I even went swimming with piranha(水虎鱼)fish. But the worst thing was insects. On one occasion I had 70 sand-fly bites on my arm. Luckily I didnt get sick. I prefer not to take tablets every day, but if I get a fever, take some medicine immediately.”   Filming the series was exciting, but also frightening at times. Her most challenging experience was climbing a 100-meter tree in Borneo, as she has a great fear of heights. “I had to keep pulling myself further and further upwards. All I wanted to do was get down again. Suddenly the safety equipment didnt look very strong and I thought that my ropes would break and I would crash to the ground.”   What did she enjoy most about returning to London? “When Ive been away in hot uncomfortable conditions for a long time I dream about an ice-cold drink and my bed at home! But the thing I look forward to the most is nice long showers. There wasnt much water in some of the places we visited and I worried that I was using it all up and not leaving any for my colleagues on the camera team! ”51. Charlotte found climbing the tree in Borneo so frightening because_.A. she hates being in high places         B. she was unable to get downC. her equipment suddenly broke          D. she slipped and fell to the ground52. What does Charlotte miss most when she is away filming?A. Air-conditioning.                    B.

But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?Scientists say were all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we dont use is, we lose it.“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland, Research Director of the project. “However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions: If you are using a map, turn it so it relates to the way you are facing. If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree. Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route. Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.Now you need never get lost again!54. Scientists believe that_.A. some babies are born with a sense of directionB. people learn a sense of direction as they grow olderC. people never lose their sense of directionD. everybody possesses a sense of direction from birth55.

If you leave your bike in a strange place, you should _.A. tie it to a tree so as to prevent it from being stolenB. draw a map of the route to help remember where it isC. avoid taking the same route when you come back to itD. remember something easily recognizable on the route57. According to the passage, the best way to find your way around is to _.A. ask policemen for directions.B. use walls, streams, and streets to guide yourselfC. remember your route by looking out for steps and stairsD. count the number of landmarks that you see【Keys】: DCDB(C)Equipped only with a pair of binoculars (双筒望远镜) and ready to spend long hours waiting in all weathers for a precious glance of a rare bullfinch (红腹灰雀). Britains birdwatchers had long been supposed to be lovers of a minority sport. But new figures show birdwatching is fast becoming a popular pastime, with almost three million of us absorbed in our fluttering feathered friends.Devoted birdwatchers, those prepared to travel thousands of miles for a sighting of a rare Siberian bird, are fast being joined by a new breed of follower whose interest is satiated by watching a few finches (雀科鸣鸟) on a Sunday walk or putting up a bird-box in the back garden.“Almost three million UK birdwatchers is certainly possible if you include everyone with only a casual interest,” Stephen Moss said in his newly published book - A Bird in the Bush: a Social History of Birdwatching - which records the pursuit from the rich Victorian Englishmans love of shooting rare birds to the less offensive observational tendencies of birdwatchers today.Television wildlife programmes have helped to fuel the new trend. Last summer, BBC 2s Britain Goes Wild was a surprise success. It pulled in three million viewers and led to bird-houses selling out across the UK as 45,000 people promised to put up a box.Birdwatchers networking system first came to the attention of the nation in 1989, when a birdwatcher caught sight of the first Vermivora chrysoptera - a golden-winged songbird from North America - to be seen in Britain. He put a message out on the network service Birdline, and next day 3,000 birdwatchers proved the full pull of a truly rare bird as they visited the Tesco car park in Kent, where it had settled. Today, birdwatchers can log on to www.birdline.co.uk or have news of the latest sightings texted to their phones.“Multimillion-pound spending on binoculars, bird food and boxes point to the increasing numbers of birdwatchers,” said David Cromack, the editor of Bird Watching magazine, “The number of people involved is so big that they have great potential to influence government decisions affecting the environment.”58. The word “satiated” in paragraph 2 can best be replaced by “_”.A. affected B. shared C. satisfied D. narrowed59. What happened after the message of seeing a Vermivora chrysoptera was put on the network?A. Birdwatchers helped the rare bird settle in Kent.B. Large numbers of birdwatchers went to view the bird.C.
