Question

4．Thousands of people living in the Chinese capital will celebrate the start of the Chinese New year by heading for the ski resorts （滑雪場）．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（熱潮）．
  Since Beijing's 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 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 Ieisure industry  in the capital's suburbs （郊區(qū)），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 hash 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．

Answer 1

分析 本文介紹了北京滑雪運動的興起、原因以及面臨的問題．北京市郊涌現(xiàn)出許多滑雪運動經營單位，多為人工造雪．追求享樂的中產階級的興起提供了客戶資源、交通的改善方便人們遠赴市郊．問題是設備和服務水準偏低以及行業(yè)內價格競爭．

解答 51答案B．．主旨大意題．本文圍繞滑雪運動展開，討論了滑雪場所的興起、原因和難題．A，C項都只是文章涉及的某個方面．D項與文章不符．B項最具概括性．
52答案D．細節(jié)理解題．從第二段…that could soon lead Chinese to head for the ski resorts of Europe．及后面兩句可知，雖然中國也有自然雪場的滑雪服務商家，但是其設備和服務都落后于歐洲的商家．故D項正確．
53．答案C．細節(jié)理解題．從倒數(shù)第二段可知，賺錢是個難題，因為："when someone comes up with a good idea，many others rush in and price wars break out．"一旦有人有了賺錢的主意，馬上就會有許多人跟進，于是爆發(fā)價格戰(zhàn)．故選擇C項．
54．答案C．細節(jié)理解題．根據文章"The problem is making money"可知，如今滑雪場面臨的問題是資金問題．又從最后一段"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 hash in and price wars break out"可知，資金問題主要出現(xiàn)在在行內爭奪滑雪勝地這方面．故選C．
