A Tourist GuideCSandstorms hit northwest Chinas Gansu Province and north Chinas Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region(内蒙古自治区)on the first day of the new century. According to Sun Landong，a meteorologist (气象学家)with the Lanzhou Meteorology Observatory，visibility(能见度) was less than 100 meters in Minqin，a Gansu county near Inner Mongolia，because of sand. When visibility drops to less than 1 kilometer，it is called a sandstorm. The sandstorm in Minqin blew up dust in neighboring towns，such as Baiyin，Wuwei，Jinchang and Lanzhou，the capital city of Gansu Province. Dustladen winds also swept into Beijing. Brought by northwesterly blowing at more than 20 meters per second，dust first reached the capitals suburbs at 7 am.，downtown areas at 9 am. The winds，which died down during the night，brought the temperature down to as low as 8 C below zero and many flights put off their planned time from the citys airport. It is quite rare for sandstorms, which are frequent between March and June，to happen in winter，when the earth is frozen. The sandstorms in Gansu and Inner Mongolia do not necessarily mean there will be more of them in the spring than last year，when they were serious，but Beijing is taking it very seriously. It is reported that Beijing will spend 6 billion yuan(725 million dollars)in preventing sandstorms in the capital and has already set up a special team to make sure what causes them.44What is the main idea of the passage?ASandstorms took place in Gansu.BSandstorms happened on the first day of the new century.CSandstorms are very serious，compared with last year.DThe experts are trying their best to determine the causes of the sandstorms formed this year.45Why did sandstorms begin in the winter this year?ABecause there was little snow this winter.BBecause a lot of trees have been cut down.CBecause people took few measures to control them.DIt is not mentioned in the passage.46Which of the following does NOT belong to the bad effect the sandstorms have done in Beijing?AThe temperature fell. BFlights put off their time to take off.CThe air was dirty. DPeople had three days off.47The author wrote the passage to _.Atell us the environment is becoming worse and worseBexplain what measures people have taken to control sandstormsCmake people realize the need to protect the environmentDcall on us to do what we can to save the earthDConfucius (551BC479BC), a Chinese philosopher，one of the most influential men in the history of China. Confucius was born in a noble family in the state of Lu. However，his parents were poor. His father died when Confucius was only three years old. In 527 BC he began his life as a teacher，usually traveling about and teaching the followers that were around him. Confucius worked as an official of the state of Lu. However，he soon left office to travel and teach. In 484 BC he returned to Lu，where he lived until his death.Living in the turbulent(动荡的)period，Confucius believed that people must go back to the principles of the ancient wise men. He therefore lectured to his pupils on the classics and taught them how to behave properly in society. Confucius did not write down the principles of his philosophy. The Analects (论语)，a work written by some of his followers，is considered the most faithful source of information about his life and teachings.The teachings of Confucius were practical and moral，rather than religious. He said that mans behavior should be based on five virtues：kindness, uprightness(义)，decorum(礼)，wisdom and faithfulness(信)He asked everyone to fulfill their duties carefully toward the state. In the centuries after his death，his teachings，known as Confucianism，had a more powerful influence on the Chinese nation.48At about what age did Confucius begin his teaching？_A51. B27. C48.
