Barcelona December 22,2007.
Spain’s “El Gordo,” the word’s biggest lottery (彩票), gave out 2.2 billion euros (歐元) (1.6 billion pounds) in Christmas prizes on Saturday.
El Gordo, Spanish for "The Fat One", is designed so that as many people as possible across Spain get a festive windfall. The top prize this year was 3 million euros -- going to the series of tickets with the magic number 06381.
Because the tickets are sold in a series of 10, only those who paid 200 euros for the whole strip get the full prize.
The biggest share of winning tickets was bought by people in the town of Nava, in the north-western Asturias region.
The draw lasts three-and-a-half hours and is carried live on national television with children from the San Ildefonso school, a former orphanage in Madrid, in turn chanting the winning numbers and the amount won.
Lotteries have two centuries of history in Spain. The country spent 2.87 billion euros on the lottery -- 5.7 percent more than last year. Seventy percent is paid out in prizes. Most of the rest goes in costs. Eight out of ten Spaniards bought tickets for the lottery, spending on average 64 euros. Spaniards often choose lottery numbers matching significant dates although there was no particular favourite in 2007. In 2006, one of the most sought-after series was 22105, the date on which Fernando Alonso became Formula 1 world champion for the second year running.
小題1:The underlined word “windfall” in paragraph two probably means         .
A.fat giftB.unexpected fortune
C.big feastD.wind and snow
小題2:Who is likely to win the full prize in El Gordo?
A.People who paid 200 euros for the wole group of series.
B.People who bough tickets with the magic number 06381.
C.People who lived in a town in the northwestern Asturias.
D.People who chose lottery numbers matching Alonso’s date.
小題3:According to the text, children from the San Ildefonso School in Madrid will         .
A.host the draw of lottery live on TV
B.offer a show of three – and – a – half hours
C.perform with the lottery draw as Christmas celebration
D.help make some declarations for the draw as invited guests
小題4:What can we learn about the history of lotteries in Spain?
A.Most of the money people spent on lotteries goes in the cost.
B.The majority of Spaniards have the experience of buying lotteries.
C.Lottery numbers matching significant dates help people win every year.
D.As the biggest in the world, Spanish lotteries have a history of two centuries.

科目:高中英語 來源:不詳 題型:閱讀理解


An earthquake is caused by a sudden slip on a fault, or fracture, in the earth's surface. The tectonic plates on the surface are always slowly moving, but they get stuck at their edges because of friction. When the stress on the edge overcomes the friction, there is an earthquake that releases energy in waves that travel through the earth's crust and create the shaking we feel.
An earthquake's degree is a measured value of its size and is the same no matter where you are, or how strong or weak the shaking was in different locations. An earthquake's intensity is a measure of the shaking it creates, and varies with location.
A degree of 8 or higher defines a “great” earthquake; 7 to 7.9 is considered “major”; 6 to 6.9 is “strong”;5 to 5.9 is “moderate”; 4 to 4.9 is “l(fā)ight”; 3 to 3.9 is "minor"; and less than 3 is “micro.”
Experts have said that a million people died in earthquakes in the 20th century ­and that this century might see 10 times as many deaths, with as many as a million killed in a single quake. That is, unless major efforts are made to fortify the world’s growing cities, which are expected to be homes to billions of added residents.
Even though the rate of earthquakes over time seems to be more or less unchanging, the world's population explosion means that more people are moving into quake zones, which are often near coasts. The result, the experts say, is the prospect of continuing trauma.
“It is inevitable,” Klaus H. Jacob, an earthquake expert at Lamont-Doherty, the earth sciences research center of Columbia University, said at the end of the last century. “More and more people, and more and more buildings, are  at stake  . As the world gets more populous and richer, allowing a more built-up environment, higher buildings and all the infrastructure that supports our civilization, communications and the like, the risk goes up.”
63. We can feel the earthquake because               
A. the plates are always moving.     
B. the stress overcomes the friction.
C. the plates get stuck.  
D. the waves in which energy is released travel through the earth’s crust.
64. a degree of 8.2 is thought             
A. a  “moderate” earthquake.         B. a “major” earthquake .
C. a “strong” earthquake.             D. a “great” earthquake.
65.  Experts have said that                
A. a billion people died in earthquakes in the 20th century.
B. ten times as many deaths will be seen by this century.
C. a million people will be killed in a single earthquake this century.
D. if we don’t take measures, something worse may happen.
66. The underlined expression probably means           .
A. endangered       B. strong         C. safe        D. weak
