smog has affected beijing for at least a week and the great hall of the people, where lawmakers will meet next week for the countrys parliamentary session（人大会议）, is hardly visible. much of north and central china, or one-seventh of the country, was covered in it over the weekend. responses have included reduced industrial activities, a ban on fireworks and barbecues, raised pollution alerts and reduced vehicles travelling on the roads. citizens are advised to stay indoors while schools have either stopped classes or suspended outdoor activities. and chinese officials, after a long period of prioritizing economic development over environmental protection, are now likely to see their future career shaped by how effectively they handle the serious pollution.“even as a foreigner, i know the pollution has a lot to do with too much focus on economic indicators（指标）in evaluating chinese officials,” said florian kessler, an executive（执行的）director with german law firm wzr consulting. the german executive speaks fluent chinese, loves beijing food and is a big fan of beijing guoan football club, but after staying in the city for eight years, he now wants to leave. “since i smoke, im okay with the pollution, but i cant let my kid breathe in the polluted air. thats why im leaving,” kessler explained. he also said that german companies operating in beijing, such as bmw, benz and volkswagen, have all had a hard time finding staff willing to work here. china has repeated in the past that we would not follow the old path of industrialized nations to develop first and deal with pollution afterward. but the smog is an awkward reminder that our country is already on that path. whether we can change route depends on the choice chinese officials make between environment and growth in the years ahead.1. these are the reasons for smog except _.a. industrial activities b. fireworks c. outdoor activities d. vehicles2. florian kessler considered the pollution had much to do with _.a. citizens b. chinese government c. schools d. smokers3. why do those german companies mentioned in the passage have a hard time? a. because it is hard for them to find staff who like working here. b. because they have kids. c. because they lack money. d. because chinese officials dont like them.4. which statement below is not true according to the passage? a. smog has affected much of north and central china over the weekend. b. due to smog, schools must stop classes. c. chinese officials didnt pay enough attention to the environment protection. d. like many other nations, china has to deal with pollution, too.5. whats the authors purpose to write this passage? a. to announce that smog has stayed in beijing for more than a week. b. to state the responses of the people c. to state the tips of surviving smog. d. to appeal to the chinese government to protect the environment.参考答案15、cbabd 阅读理解-（a）when people hear a president speak, they seldom think about others helping to

one of the most ancient. with a clear symbolic meaning, the flag in the traditional form is still used today to mark buildings, ships and other vehicles related to a country.the national flag as we know it today is in no way a primitive artifact. it is, rather, the product of thousands of years development. historians believe that it had two major ancestors, of which the earlier served to show wind direction.early human beings used very fragile houses and boats. often strong winds would tear roofs from houses or cause high waves that endangered travelers. peoples food supplies were similarly vulnerable. even after they had learned how to plant grains, they still needed help from nature to ensure good harvests. therefore they feared and depended on the power of the wind, which could bring warmth from one direction and cold from another.using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was more dependable than earlier methods, such as watching the rising of smoke from a fire. the connection of the flag with heavenly power was therefore reasonable. early human societies began to fix long pieces of cloth to the tops of totems (图腾) before carrying them into battle. they believed that the power of the wind would be added to the good wishes of the gods and ancestors represented by the totems themselves.these flags developed very slowly into modern flags. the first known flag of a nation or a ruler was unmarked. the king of china around 1000 b.c. was known to have a white flag carried ahead of him. this practice might have been learned from egyptians even further in the past, but it was from china that it spread over trade routes through india, then across arab lands, and finally to europe, where it met up with the other ancestor of the national flag.41. the best title for the passage would be “_”.a. development of the national flagb. power of the national flagc. types of flagsd. uses of flags【答案】a【解析】标题归纳题。“it is, rather, the product of thousands of years development.”说明国旗是几千年发展的产物。而且整片文章从旗帜最初用于表示风向，一直讲到它演变为现代的旗帜。所以本文说的是国旗的发展。故选a。42. the underlined word “vulnerable” in paragraph 3 means _.a. impossible to make sure ofb. likely
