It’s interesting that the arrival of snow has a different effect on people in different countries. For some countries it is an important happening to celebrate each year, while for others it is a catastrophe (災(zāi)難) or even a wonder.
There are countries between these two extremes (極端) that normally expect snow some time over the winter months, but never receive snow regularly or in the same quantities(數(shù)量) every year. Britain is one such country, for which the arrival of snow quite simply creates problems. Within hours of the first snowfall, however light, roads are blocked, trains and buses stop in the middle of traffic. Normal communications are affected as well, telephone calls become difficult and the post immediately takes more time than usual. Almost within hours, there are also shortages(不足) -- bread, vegetables and other things -- not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops, but mainly because people are frightened, and go out to store up these commodities (日用品), “just for fear that something bad should happen.”
Why then does snow have this effect? After all, the Swiss, Austrians and Canadians don’t have such problems. It is simply because there is not enough planning and preparation. We need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice. To keep the roads clear, for example, requires snow ploughs and machines to spread salt. The reason why a country like Britain does not buy some ploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospitals, education or helping the old.
【小題1】According to the writer, Britain is a country____.
A.which has regular snow | B.which is not well prepared for snow |
C.for which snow is not a problem | D.for which snow is a wonder |
A.traffic | B.communication | C.food supplies | D.service quality |

【小題1】B
【小題2】D
【小題3】B
【小題4】C
解析試題分析:本文講述了雪對不同國家的影響,主要講述了為什么英國受到的傷害最大。
【小題1】根據(jù). It is simply because there is not enough planning and preparation.可知,應(yīng)該是一個對雪是沒有準備的國家。所以本題選B。
【小題2】通過閱讀第二段可知,當大雪來的時候,會影響到交通、通訊和食物的供應(yīng)。所以本題選D。
【小題3】根據(jù)not because all these things can no longer be produced or sent to shops, but mainly because people are frightened, and go out to store up these commodities (日用品),可知,本題選B。
【小題4】根據(jù) The reason why a country like Britain does not buy some ploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year可知,之所以英國人不買雪犁,是因為不常用。所以本題選C。
考點:本題考查社會現(xiàn)象類文章
點評:本文相對來說較難,出現(xiàn)的生詞比較多,且有許多長句,所以需要反復(fù)閱讀,方能理解文章的意思。本題中的題目的難度也相對較大,需要根據(jù)上下文以及相應(yīng)的句型進行推測,方能得出正確答案。

The Internet is becoming important in our life. How much do you know about it?
What is the Internet?
The Internet is a large, worldwide collection(聚集) of computer networks(網(wǎng)). A network is a small group of computers put together. The Internet is many different networks from all over the world. These networks are called the Internet. Once you have learned to use the Internet, you can have a lot of interest on the World Wide Web.
What is the World Wide Web?
The World Wide Web has been the most popular development of the Internet. The Web is like a big electronic(電子的) book with millions of pages. These pages are called homepages.
You can find information about almost anything in the world on these pages. For example, you can use the Inter-net instead of a library to find information for your homework. You can also find information about your favourite sport or film star, talk to your friends or even do some shopping on the pages. Most pages have words, pictures and even sound or music.
What is e-mail?
Electronic mail (e-mail) is a way of sending messages to other people. It's much quicker and cheaper than sending a letter.
If you want to use e-mail, you must have an e-mail address. This address must have letters and dots(點) and an “@”(meaning “at”). This is what an address looks like: emily @ star. net. Write a message, type in the person's e-mail address, then send the message, type in the person's e-mail address, then send the message across the internet.

Ronaldo Luiz Nazario de Lima was born on 22 September 1976 in a poor suburb of Rio de Janeiro. Like most of his childhood friends, Ronaldo began his soccer career playing barefoot in the streets of his neighborhood. At the age of 14, he joined S Cristovo soccer club and only two years later became the star of Cruzeiro Belo Horizonte scoring a total of 58 goals in 60 matches and earning himself a reputation for his explosive pace and outstanding finishing skills. His goal-scoring record and unusual agility led him to be included in the Brazilian World Cup winning team the following year. After the World Cup, many top European football clubs were trying to sign him. Many people, including Brazilian football legend Pelé, referred to him as the most promising footballer of his generation.
Since his transfer to Dutch team PSV Eindhoven, Ronaldo’s biography is one of success after success. Two Copa América s, a UEFA Cup, a Dutch Cup, a Spanish League Cup, and two awards as best player in the world, all in the space of two years, are some of Ronaldo’s impressive achievements. On arrival to Inter-Milan in 1997, Ronaldo became the idol of the local fans who refer to him as “il Fenomeno.”
Since the 98 World Cup he has suffered two serious knee injuries that have severely limited his appearances. Just when people began to wonder whether Ronaldo would be able to continue with his football career, he proved to the world that he still could play. In the World Cup held in Korea and Japan, the magical striker won the Golden Shoe award and tied Pelé's Brazilian record for career World Cup goals with 12. He helped Brazil capture its fifth World Cup championship on June 30 with a 2-0 win over Germany. It was the third time that Ronaldo has ever played in the World Cup.
