heading for the ski resorts (滑雪场). Never mind that Beijing"s 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 Beijing"s first ski resort was opened ten years ago, the sport has enjoyed an Astonishing increase.
There are now more than a dozen resorts. Clothes markets in the city have 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 can"t really
match the equipment and services of some ski resorts in Europe.
Beijing"s 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 capital"s suburbs, which until the late 1990s were unreachable to
ordinary people. According Mr Wei, about 40% of the visitors to his resorts come in their own cars. The
rest are bushed 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.
B. Skiing as a new way of enjoying one"s spare time.
C. Things to be considered when starting a ski resort.
D. A sudden increase of ski training classes in Beijing.
B. To ski on natural snow.
C. For a large collection of ski suits.
D. For better services and equipment.
B. business of providing spare time enjoyments
C. production of family cars
D. part-time work for people living in the suburbs
B. Lack of business experience.
C. Price wars with other ski resorts.
D. Shortage of water and electricity.

At his factory in Ivrea, he designed and produced the first Italian typewriter. Today the company"s head
office is still in Ivrea, near Turin, but the company is much larger than it was in those days and there are
offices all around the world.
By 1930 there was a staff of 700 and the company turned out 13,000 machines a year. Some went to
customers in Italy, but Olivetti exported more typewriter to other countries.
Camillo"s son, Adriano, started working for the company in 1924 and later he became the boss. He
introduced a standard speed for the production line and he employed technology and design specialists. The
company developed new and better typewriters and then calculators (计算机). In 1959 it produced the ELEA
computer in Italy.
After Adriano died in 1960, the company had a period of financial problems. Other companies, especially
the Japanese, made faster progress in electronic technology than the ITalian company.
In 1978, Carlo de Benedetti became the new boss. Olivetti increased its marking and service networks and
made agreements with other companies to design and produce more advanced office equipment. Soon it
became one of the world"s leading companies in information technology and communications. There are now
five independent companies in the Olivetti group-one for personal computers, one for systems and services,
and two for telecommunications.
B. Olivetti earned more in the 1960s than in the 1950s
C. some of Olivetti"s 700 staff regularly visited customers in Italy

culture. American cities are changing, just as American society is changing.
After World War Ⅱ, the population of most large American cities decreased; however, the population shifts
(转移) to and from the city reflect the changing values of American society. In the late 1940s and early 1950s,
city residents (居民) became wealthier. They had more children so they needed more space. They moved out
of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes. They bought houses in the suburbs (郊区).
Now things are changing. The children of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now adults. Many,
unlike their parents, want to live in the cities. They continue to move to Sun Belt cities and older ones of the
Northeast and Midwest. Many young professionals are moving back into the city. They prefer the city to the
suburbs because their jobs are there; or they just enjoy the excitement and possibilities that the city offers.
This population shift is bringing problems as well as benefits. Countless poor people must leave their
apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of for
rent. In the 1950s, many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs; now many of these
same people do not have enough money to stay in the cities.
Only a few years ago, people thought that the older American cities were dying. Some city residents now
see a bright, new future. Others see only problems and conflicts. One thing is sure: many dying cities are alive
again.
B. They are hopeless.
C. They are similar.
D. They are different.
B. Because they were richer and needed more space.
C. Because cities contained the worst parts of society.
D. Because they could hardly afford to live in the city.
B. are forced to move to the suburbs
C. want to sell their buildings
D. need more money for daily expenses
B. people have different views on American cities
C. many people are now moving from American cities
D. the population is decreasing in older American cities
of the world"s water too salty to salty to be drunk or be drunk or used in agriculture, the worldwide supply of
water needs careful management, especially in agriculture. Although the idea of a water shortage (短缺) seems
strange to someone fortunate enough to live in a high rainfall country, many of the world"s agricultural industries
experience constant water shortages.
Although dams can be built to store water for agricultural use in dry areas and dry seasons, the costs of
water redistribution (重新分配) are very high. Not only is there the cost of the engineering itself, but there is
also an environmental cost to be considered. Where valleys (山谷) are flooded to create dams, houses are lost
and wildlife homes destroyed. Besides, water may flow easily through pipes to fields, but it cannot be
transported from one side of the world to the other. Each country must therefore rely on the management of
its own water to supply its farming requirements.
This is particularly troubling for countries with agricultural industries in areas dependent on irrigation (灌溉).
In Texas, farmers" overuse of irrigation water has resulted in a 25% reduction of the water stores. In the
Central Valley area of southwestern USA, a huge water engineering project provided water for farming in dry
valleys, but much of the water use has been poorly managed.
Saudi Arabia"s attempts to grow wheat in desert areas have seen the pumping of huge quantities of irrigation
(灌溉) water from underground reserves. Because there is no rainfall in these areas,such reserves can only
decrease, and it is believed that fifty years of pumping will see them run dry.
hours, and then, after a full day of work, going back home to Beijing and having dinner there.
Sounds unusual, doesn"t it? But it"s not that unrealistic, with the development of China"s high-speed railway
system. And that"s not all. China has an even greater high-speed railway plan-to connect the country with
Southeast Asia, and eventually Eastern Europe.
China is negotiating to extend its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 1 0 to 15 years,
eventually reaching London and Singapore.
China has proposed three such projects. The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via
Vietnam and Malaysia. Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and possibly
to Germany. The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe.
If China"s plan for the high-speed railway goes forward, people could zip over from London to Beijing in
under two days.
The new system would still follow China"s high-speed railway standard. And the trains would be able to go
346 kilometers an hour, almost as fast as some airplanes.
China"s bullet train (高速客车), the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou, already has the World"s fastest
average speed. It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three hours.
Of course, there are some technical challenges to overcome. There are so many issues that need to be
settled,such as safety, rail gauge (轨距), maintenance of railway tracks. So, it"s important to pay attention to
every detail.
But the key issue is really money. China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on domestic
railway expansion.
China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with capital investment. Resources
from those countries could stream into China to sustain development.
It"ll be a win-win project. For other countries, the railway network will definitely create more opportunities
for business, tourism and so on, not to mention the better communication among those counties.
For China, such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed
resources, but would also help develop China"s far west. We foresee that in the coming decades, millions of
people will migrate to the western regions,where the land is empty and resources unused. With high-speed
trains, people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for all. And they"ll trade with
Central Asian and Eastern European countries.
B. China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various ways
C. China will develop its railway system and communication with other countries
D. the foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation,business and tourism
B. safety of the system
C. financial problems
D. maintenance of railway tracks
B. Reserved.
C. Doubtful
D. Positive.
B. Big Railway Dreams
C. High-speed Bullet Trains
D. International Railway Network
Almost anyone who has a steady income (收入) and continuous work record can apply for a credit card.
If you have a credit card, you buy a car, eat a dinner, take a trip, and even get a haircut by changing the cost
to your account (帐户). You can pay for purchases a month or two later, without any extra charge. Or you may
choose to spread out your payments over several months and pay only part of the total amount each month. If
you do this, the credit card company of the bank who sponsors the credit card will add a small service charge
to your bill. This is very convenient for customers. With the credit card in your wallet or purse, you don"t have
to carry much cash (现金). This saves your trips to the bank to cash checks. Also if you carry credit cards
instead of a lot of cash, you don"t have to be concerned about losing your money through carelessness or theft.
Credit cards are big business. Americans spend $16 billion a year on cards. Credit card companies make a
profit from the fees they charge the store and also from the fees collected from customers who pay for their
charges in monthly installments (注册). However, credit card companies sometimes have problems collecting
overdue payments from unreliable customers if they charge more than they can pay for.
Yet, in many ways, the big loser in the credit card system is not the credit card company, the store, or the
card user, but rather the general customer. The store makes up for the fees it pays to the credit card company
by increasing prices for goods and services. Stores may have more sales if they accept cards, but the added
cost to the store when credit cards are accepted instead of cash is actually passed on to all consumers in higher
prices. In this way, the cash customer suffers for the convenience the credit card customer enjoys.
B. a person with an income and work experience
C. a person with work experience but no regular income
D. a person with a regular income and an unbroken work record
B. much cash
C. many credits
D. much change
B. the card holders
C. the ordinary customers
D. the credit card companies and banks
