On April 8, 1995, five tourists set off from Minneapolis Airport. They were very excited, for it was their first trip to Mexico.

　　After five hours, they landed in Acapulco, a tourist city in Mexico. It was very hot, but they walked happily to the Customs . The official examined their passports carefully, finding there was no visa on it. They were told that it was a must for them to enter the country. They explained to the official that they had got in touch with the Mexican Consulate (領(lǐng)事館) in Chicago and was told no visa was needed, but the official still did not let them pass.

　　So they began to call the US Consulate in Acapulco, but did not get the problem done. After they had worked for three hours, they were told to leave for the USA at once.

　　They arrived in Detroit that same night after six hours' trip. To their joy, they were shown into a room where a lady official in the airport asked them to tell her their story from the very beginning. And then she suggested they go back to Mimmeapolis Airport to get their money back. But the five tourists still wanted to go to Mexico instead. Then she had to tell them to stay in a nearby hotel for a night and call to see her the next morning.

　　They were so tired that they slept very well and woke up late Sunday morning. To their surprise, they saw snow and ice outside. They called the airport but nobody was there. In the afternoon they decided to go to the airport to see Mary again. Finally they caught her and had a long talk with her. She tried the best to manage their plane tickets but they had to get the visas before 12:00 Monday morning.

　　They took a taxi and went to look for Mexican Consulate according to the address given by Mary. But the gate was shut. So they drove to a small town near Canada and took some pictures there. They got up early on Monday morning and went there again for visas. After waiting for an hour or so, the official turned up and they got what they wanted by paying $ 17 each. They drove happily to the airport, knowing that their holiday really started now.

42.Where is Minneapolis according to this passage?

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。

　　On April 17, 1975, thousands of Phnom Penh(金邊)citizens celebrated in the streets as victorious Khmer Rouge(紅色高棉政權(quán))troops entered the city．They felt great relief that the five-year civil war had now come to an end．Cambodia was finally at peace．This morning offered a moment of hope．

　　But hope quickly turned to fear as citizens noticed that the Khmer Rouge troops weren't celebrating with them．They soon began to order people to leave the city．By mid-afternoon hundreds of thousands of people were on the move．“The Americans are going to bomb the city! ” was the answer given to residents if they asked why they had to leave Phnom Penh．No exceptions were made-all citizens, young and old, had to evacuate as quickly as possible．

　　As the Khmer Rouge knew well, there were no American plans to attack the city．The lie was intended to get people into the countryside, away from the urban areas．The Khmer Rouge believed that they would create a splendid society by getting all people to live and work in the countryside as peasants．Peasants were seen as simple, uneducated, hard-working．Their way of life had not changed for centuries, yet they always managed to survive．

　　The citizens of Cambodian cities were seen as new people, or “April 17 people”．The Khmer Rouge believed that new people represented capitalism(資本主義)．Overnight, entire cities were emptied．Homes and families were destroyed．Hundreds of thousands of people suddenly became farmers．Cambodia became a nation of slaves, a country with no hope．

　　Some researchers pointed out that a mix of cruelty and stupidity was the reason for the fall of the Khmer Rouge in 1979．

(1)

[　　]

A．

they lined along the streets welcoming the Khmer Rouge troops

Leave．

Gather．

B．

They believed city people could not work for them．

C．

They were afraid that city people would contact the foreign countries．
