（全国卷iic） thousands of people living in the chinese capital will celebrate the start of the chinese new year by heading for the skiresorts (滑雪场). never mind that beijings dry weather seldom produces snow. 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 beijings first ski resort was opened ten years ago, the sport has enjoyed astonishing increase. there are now more than a dozen resorts. clothes markets in the cityhave 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 cant really match the equipment and services of some ski resorts in europe.beijings 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 capitals suburbs (郊区), which until the late-1990s were unreachable to ordinary people. according to mr. wei, about 40% of the visitors to his resort come in their own cars. the rest are bused in by schools, businesses or government offices.the problem is making money. starting ski resorts 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.50. what does this text mainly talk about? a. convenience for skiers brought about by private cars. b. skiing as a new way of enjoying ones spare time. c. things to be considered when starting a ski resort.d. a sudden increase of ski training classes in beijing.51. 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.52. 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 suburbs53. what is the main problem in running a ski resort? a. difficulty in hiring land. b. lack of business experience. c. price wars with other ski resorts, d. shortage of water and electricity,【文章大意】本文主要就北京郊区建起滑雪场的事情，很多中产阶层的人们开始追求这种热潮。50. 【解析】选b。主旨大意题。本文主要就北京郊区建起滑雪场的事情，很多中产阶层的人们开始追求这种热潮。故选b。另外，本文也属于新闻体裁，由第一段可知主旨大意。51. 【解析】选d。细节理解题。根据第二段的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以及此段的最后一句but many are in faraway areas of the country and cant really match（敌得过）the equipment and services of some ski resorts in europe.可知。52. 【解析】选c。词义猜测题。leisure industry指“休闲娱乐业”。 仔细理解“and the rapid growth of a pleasure-seeking middle class has formed the basis for this new craze(热潮）”. 以及“beijings skiing craze is partly a result of the recent increase in private (私有的) cars. this （指上一句的内容） has led to the growth of a leisure industry in the capitals suburbs (郊区), which until the late-1990s were unreachable to ordinary people.”两句内容，可推知划线词汇应为“休闲娱乐业”之意。由此可知选c。53. 【解析】选c。细节理解题。第四段提到的是资金的问题，因为建滑雪场要涉及到很多问题如从政府租地、准备小山、买造雪机器、保证有足够的水电来运作以及买租给顾客的滑雪设备等。由此可知a项只是资金的问题的一个方面，d项与此部分的内容不符。根据最后一段的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可知，由于很多人都蜂拥去建滑雪场，打起价格战，致使资金投入很多，但收益不是很大。由此可知c项才是主要的问题。b选项在文中未提及。2 （天津卷b）why play games? because they are fun, and a 1ot more besides. following the rulesplanning your next move.acting as a

the pictures of the cute, blackandwhite bears from china that eat bamboo will immediately jump into their mind. scientists from mississippi state university, however, are interested in what the bears leave behind: their poop(排泄物). at a recent meeting in denver, professor brown at the university presented her research showing how panda poop could inspire a new way to obtain energy from plants, which are a renewable energy source. usually, plants can be called biomass(有机燃料) when they are used as an energy source.burning biomass is one way to capture its energy, but brown hopes panda poop can teach scientists something about breaking down biomass. pandasor at least the bacteria in their stomachsare very good at getting energy out of bamboo. unlike cows, which use 4 stomachs to digest large amounts of grass, a panda has only one stomach. bamboo comes in, and poop goes out.every day for 14 months, brown and her team on this project, counted the bacteria in the poop of the two pandas, yaya and lele living at the memphis zoo. her studies turned up 12 species of bacteria that break down biomass, including one that had never been found in pandas. brown says that because the poop contains bacteria that break down biomass, it could also be used to break down other types of biomass.now the scientists hope to identify the chemicals that help with the process of breaking down biomass and then figure out how the bacteria work. if those chemicals can be made in the lab, they could be used to turn biomasslike grass or other plantsinto fuel.brown says she doesnt mind handling panda poop. “its probably the most pleasant material to work with，” she says, “my colleagues and i have been working with other poop for a long time, and we can assure you it has a fairly pleasant smell associated with it.”67the importance of studying panda poop is_.a. to create a renewable energy from plantsb. to explore a new way to get energy from plantsc. to learn a lesson of energy from panda poopd. to figure out how the bacteria work for us mankind答案：b细节理解题。由第一段第三句话“at a recent meeting in denver, professor brown at the university presented her research showing how panda poop could inspire a new way to obtain energy from plants.”可知，研究大熊猫粪便的重要性在于，它能为我们从植物中提取能量提供新路。68the process of the panda poop project can be described as_.aidentify the chemicals helpful to break down biomass.bfind the bacteria in panda poop which break down bamboo.creproduce the chemicals in the lab to turn biomass into energy.danalyze how the bacteria in panda poop work in pandas stomach.a. a, b, d, c b. a, d, c, b c. b, a, d, c d. b, d, a, c答案：c细节理解题。由第三、四段可知，该项目的步骤是找出熊猫排泄物中能分解竹子的细菌；然后确认那些有助于分解有机燃料的细菌；再分析这些细菌是怎样工作的；最后在实验室复制这些细菌用于分解有机燃料。所以b项正确。69what does the author mainly want to express in the 2nd paragraph?apandas dont digest bamboo the same way as cows.bpandas are capable of getting energy using stomachs.cpandas can get energy from bamboo more efficiently.dscientists have learnt something new from panda poop.答案：c推理判断题。第二段第二句话“pandasor at least the bacteria in their stomachsare very good at getting energy out of bamboo.”是该段的中心句。70what does professor brown think of working with panda poop?a. sick b. challenging c. inspiring d. enjoyable答案：d推理判断题。由最后一段的用词“doesnt mind”和“pleasant”可知，布朗教授对于该项工作感觉很享受。e(2012淄博一模)when you see homework covering the kitchen table and toys are piling up around the
