Question

   C

Thousands of people living in the Chinese eapital will celebrate the start of the Chinese New Year by heading for the ski resorts(滑雪場(chǎng)).Never mind that Beijing’s dry weather seldom produces

Now. 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 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 sking 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(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 some in their own cars. The rest are bused in by schools, businesses or government offices.

The problem is making money.Starting ski resorturequires 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.

Answer 1

50-53BDCC

解析:

【語篇解讀】本文是說明文，文章說到了北京人對(duì)滑雪的興趣激增，在這樣的背景下，起步較晚的中國(guó)的滑雪業(yè)也有其弊端。而建設(shè)更好的滑雪中心也有一些客觀存在的困難。

【小題1】主旨大意題。第一段最后一句話里的是本段的中心句，句中的the rapid growth of a pleasure-seeking middleclass和basis for this new craze 也概括了全文的大意，說明現(xiàn)在越來越多的人喜歡上滑雪這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)。在最后一段首句說到了創(chuàng)辦滑雪場(chǎng)所需的條件，但是并不是本文的中心，所以不能選C項(xiàng)。

【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第二段第三句說到了Mr. Wei見證了這個(gè)領(lǐng)域里人們對(duì)滑雪這項(xiàng)愛好的程度增加之迅猛。很多人都到歐洲去，去的目的在本段最后一句給予了說明，因?yàn)樵谥袊?guó)的滑雪行業(yè)起步較晚，而且所建的地址較為偏遠(yuǎn)，使用的滑雪設(shè)施也比較落后，由此可以推斷D項(xiàng)正確。干擾項(xiàng)是C，雖然本段說到了人們對(duì)滑雪用具的收藏，但是對(duì)于絕大多數(shù)愛好者來說，有適合的設(shè)備才是最重要的，所以不能選C。

【小題3】詞義猜測(cè)題。本句的主語Beijing’s skiing craze屬于人們消遣娛樂的范圍，而industry意為“行業(yè)”，說明leisure industry 是指給人們提供娛樂的行業(yè)，C項(xiàng)的business 和spare time enjoyment符合語境。

【小題4】推理判斷題。最后一段首句里的making money不是“掙錢”或者“盈利”，而是籌措到開辦滑雪場(chǎng)所需要的各種費(fèi)用，如A項(xiàng)B項(xiàng)和D項(xiàng)所說到的細(xì)節(jié)方面所需要的費(fèi)用，但是這三個(gè)選項(xiàng)都片面，只有C項(xiàng)和末段首句的the problem is making money吻合。
