Refugees in shelters. Thousands of others unsure where to go. Bodies in streets. This is what one of Americas historic cities was reduced to this week by a powerful storm,Katrina.The mayor of New Orleans says thousands may be dead. Hurricane Katrina also caused death and destruction in parts of Mississippi and Alabama along the Gulf of Mexico. New Orleans is famous for its wild Mardi Gras celebrations.New Orleans is also a major port for foreign oil and other shipping trade. Yet the city of mearly five hundred thousand people was built below sea level. New Orleans has depended on levees to control floods from the Mississippi River.Katrina struck on Monday, New Orleans avoided a direct hit. But two of the levees failed the next day. Most of the city was flooded.Helicopters dropped huge sandbags to fill the breaks.But the water had no place to go. Pumping stations had no power. America faces one of the worst natural events in its history. President Bush says the recovery will take years. People were told to leave the path of the storm.

B The worlds largest aircraft made its public debut(appearance)last week at Europes biggest factory, a purpose built assembly line in Toulouse, southern France. The Airbus A380 will habe 50 per cent more floor space than American rival Boeings 747Jumbo, with room for duty-free shops, restaurant and even a sauna. this new arrival is expected to change the face of air travel. The A380 will enter service in early 2006 with singapore Airlines. Airbus claims the A380 will burn less fuel,make less noise, create less pollution and cost 17per cent less per seat than the 747.It will also reduce traffic problems in the skies.The aircraft,which cost between 140 million(US$250m) and 157 million (US$280m)each compared with 84 million(US$150m) for Boeings new Dreamliner jet,is being built at 16 factories in Germany, France, Spain and the UK. But activists have warned of more noise and pollution from the Superjumbo, while Boeing believes huge aircraft will not be in great demand over the next decade. As a result, it is putting faith in the much smaller 7E7 Dreamliner.But Airbus is pinning its hopes on the big is beautifu theory, ganbling on size being the key factor in the US-European battle for the skies. Airbus said it was in talks with half a dozen global airlines about buying the A380.China Eastern Airlines,already an Airbus customer, is said to be targeted,while executives made it plain tha they wanted to fight for the Japanese market,which had traditionally been controlled by Boeing. Over the next 20 years, Airbus hopes to sell 750 of the new planes into a market worth 185billion(US$330bn).The company already has 129 firm orders for the A380, with 52options.5.

A.banks B.restaurants C.duty-free shops D. a sauna8.According to the news, the prospect of A380 may be_. A. not so good B. cheerful C. undesirable D. gloomy C A poor chimney-sweeper, who had not enough money to buy a meal, stopped one hot summer day at noon before an eating-house, and remained regaling his nose with the smell of the victuals. The master of the shop told him several times to go away, but the sweeper could not leave savory smell,though unable to purchase the taste of the food. At last the cook came out lf the shop, and taking hold of the sweeper,declared that, as he had been feeding upon the smell of his victuals(food and drink),he should not go away without paying half the price of a dinner .The poor fellow said that he meither could nor would pay, and that he would ask the fis person who should pass,whether it was not an unreasonable and unjust demand. The case was referred to a policeman, who happened to pass at that moment. He said to the sweeper:As you have been feasting one of your senses with the odor (smell) of this mans meat , it is but just you should make him some recompense; therefore you shall, in your turn, regale (amuse) one of his senses, which seems to be more insatiable than your appetite. How much money have you? I have but two pence in all the world,sir,and I must buy me some bread.Never mind, answered the officer, take your two pence between your hands;now rattle (cause to make a lot of quick little noises)them loudly. The sweeper did so,and the officer, turning to the cook,said, Now,sir,I think he has paid you:the smell of your victuals regaled his mostrils(opengings at the end of the nose);the sound of his money has tickled your ears. This decision gave more satistaction to the bystanders than to the cook, but it was the onle payment he could obtain.9.The sweeper stopped one hot summer day at noon before an eating-house,because_A.he wanted to regale his nose with the smell of the victualsB.he was hungry and he wantde to have dinner C.he was hungry but he had no enough money to buy a mealD.he wanted to smell if the food was delicious.10.The cooks demand that the sweeper should pay half the price of adinner was obviously_.A.reasonable B.not fair C.logical D.proper11.We infer that the way that the policeman settled the problem was_A.foolish B.kind C.clever D.stupid12.The passage implied that_A. its a pity that the cook did not get what he wantedB. the master of the shop and the cook were cool-heartedC. the cook was cruelD. the sweeper got what he wanted D Being a health inspector at a large food-processing factory, Sun Aiqun is feeling great pressure in carrying out what should be her daily duties as bird flu is threatening to spread across Asia.
