Try these four resorts (度假胜地) and it will certainly give you an unforgettable experience. Solitude Mountain Resort,
2、 Utah Solitude Mountain is a place often recommended by tourist agents. Its a place to go if you love skiing in winter but hate waiting on lift lines. Loving a bargain doesnt hurt either since the accommodations here are less expensive. Key West, FloridaThe crowds thin out and the prices fall in Key
3、 West in winter. Key West has a remote, romantic feel. It has inspired many poets and literary greats. It will inspire you to literally celebrate the sunrise. Surely, there are nightly sunset celebrations! Taos, New MexicoTaos, New Mexico, is a popular winter spot. Besides skiing, youll be able to e

7、me up with different answers. However, there is no denying the fact that the only threat to humankind, apart from humankind itself, is, without any doubt, the nature. Natural disasters are the result of natural environmental processes that have a damaging effect on people. Natural disasters can come
8、 in many forms: such as geological events like earthquakes, tsunamis or mud-rock flows, climatic events like storms, hurricanes or tornadoes and fire events like forest fires and wildfires.The damage done by natural disasters is mainly as a result of our inability to predict(预测) exactly when they wi
9、ll happen. Although great progress has been made in designing and developing forecasting models for some natural disasters, complete certainty is still impossible. Even to be pessimistic, there is a possibility that human beings will never achieve accurate prediction of the happening of all natural
10、disasters.Whats more, even though we were able to predict these disasters from nature, preventing them is equally impossible. So we only have two ways to both prevent injuries or deaths and reduce economic losses to the least. These two methods are to prepare before a natural disaster comes to hit,
11、and to manage the necessary resources and public services after a natural disaster strikes.These two things have always been at the leading position of the projects of both national governments and international organizations. In the United States, the Federal Emergency Management Agency is responsi
12、ble for the “preparedness, response and recovery planning” of both man-made and natural disasters.Most natural disasters cannot be prevented, and both emergency preparation and good disaster management are the best ways to deal with them. Although natural events may appear to serve no purpose but si
13、mply to punish and destroy, natural disasters, a perfect symbol of the great power of the nature, are display of our planets evolution and its state of change.4. According to the passage, both humankind and nature _. A. can be managed orderly B. can threaten human beings C. are hard to control D. ha
14、ve a large family5. The reason why natural disasters cause so much damage is that _.

15、e necessary public services to use after natural disasters strike6. It may be concluded from the passage that _. A. natural disasters can not be predicted at all B. human beings are pessimistic to the future C. being well-prepared can avoid economic losses D. good preparation and disaster management
16、 are advisable7. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. A Symbol of the Power of Nature B. The Greatest Threat to Mankind C. Natural Disasters and Mankind D. Reduce Losses to the LeastC An elderly carpenter(木匠) was ready to retire. He told his employer, a contractor, of h
17、is plans to leave the house-building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They could get by.The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a pers
18、onal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy(粗糙的) workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career.When the carpenter finished his work and the builder came to inspect the house, the c
19、ontractor handed the front-door key to the carpenter. “This is your house,” he said, “my gift to you.” What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.So it is with us.
20、 We build our lives in a distracted way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had rea
21、lized that we would have done it differently.Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Build wisely. It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one more day, that day deserves to be lived graciou
22、sly and with dignity. The plaque on the wall says, “Life is a do-it-yourself project.” Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and the choices you make today.8.

24、his partner.10. What can we know about the last house the carpenter built? A. It was of low quality. B. It did not satisfy the contractor. C. It was perfect in workmanship and materials. D. It was the best of all the houses he had built.11. What does the story intend to tell us? A. We should focus o
25、n the future life. B. We should react to life rather than act. C. We should build our houses in life. D. We should always do our best.

27、arctica and the Arctic are the most threatened regions from climate change. In the Antarctica, the temperature has risen 2.5 degrees in the past 50 years. This speed is nearly five times faster than that before the Industrial Revolution. It is mainly caused by burning fossil fuels. Unless nations re
28、duce carbon dioxide emission, the world will warm by an average of 2 degrees in less than 40 years. Rich nations should agree to reduce greenhouse gas emission. Temperatures near the Poles have risen much faster, which has led glaciers on the Antarctic Peninsula to melt quickly.The situation is quit
29、e critical, because in the past 50 years the number of emperor penguins(帝企鹅) has decreased by 50 percent across the whole Antarctica. On the northwest coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, the number of Adelie penguins(阿德利企鹅) has dropped surprisingly over the past 25 years.Fifty percent of the habitats
30、of the emperor penguin and 75 percent of the habitats of the Adelie penguin face a rapid reduction, or even disappearance, if the global temperature rises 2 degrees above pre-industrial levels.With a 2-degree increase in global temperature and the decrease in sea ice thickness, emperor penguins will
31、 find it difficult to find new areas to live.
