　　Allen：I've never been a big fan of the bears, especially the vacation show．On my last trip to Disneyland(1999)we passed it by, because we didn't want to spend the time on something we didn't really enjoy．If we'd known it would be closed by our next visit, I'm sure we would have watched it one more time．I was just making the point that it wasn't until Disney announced the closing that this feeling suddenly sprang(彈跳)up for the Country Bear show at Disneyland．

　　But I think the idea of keeping some attractions(名勝古跡)open forever regardless of(不顧及)the number of visitors it gets is a mistake．We all have great memories of the Bears, but clearly very few kids today(or I should say families today)are making those same memories from this show．That may be a sad fact, but it's a fact．For whatever reason, the show doesn't pull in the numbers．Isn't it right to use the Country Bear space to bring in a more popular attraction so that more kids today can make those magic memories of an attraction THEY like?Otherwise aren't we just telling kids today that they“have to”make great memories of the Bears, when it's obvious that the kids themselves are not enjoying the Bears like we did．

　　Roger：I am very disappointed that they have decided to retire the Country Bear Play-house．I remember going to the show as a child, and still enjoyed it as a teenager, and now young adult．It is true that there aren't a lot of shows left at DL and with this one closing even less．Being at DL does require a lot of walking, and it is nice to have a few attractions that are a place to sit and enjoy a good show．I understand that DL has to develop, but there has to be some history to the Disneyland that Walt Disney first designed．There should be some parts of DL that just never go away, and this is one of them．By the time I have children it looks like there won't be any attractions that I can say I went to as a child at the rate they are going．

　　Now the Bears are leaving．What I want to say is：stop trying to compete with everyone!DL is the best, because of attractions like the Country Bears．If DL insists on destroying all of its magic to make way for the latest, well, then it might as well be just another theme(主題)park．

(1)

B．

There will be a new attraction for our guests at Disneyland．

C．

B．

we should tell kids today that they“have to”make great memories of the Bears

C．

the longtime attraction ought to make way for a future attraction

D．

people never care about what they have until all is lost

(3)

Which is the best choice to complete Roger's idea：The Country Bears have been a part of Disneyland for nearly 30 years, ________．

[　　]

A．

and I feel it is time to give our bears a good rest

B．

but anyway, the attraction has lost interest

C．

but I know that Disneyland will always be changing, and I accept that

　　Former US. Vice President A1 Gore, who came close to winning the presidency two years ago, said he will not run in 2004, and probably will not have another opportunity to seek the White House.

　　Though Gore would have been a frightening Democratic(民主黨的)main runner, his decision to give up the 2004 race probably helped his party' s chances in the general election against President George W. Bush, Democrats said.

　　Many did not want to see Bush－Gore Ⅱ.

　　“The last campaign was an extremely difficult one,” Gore told CBS TV show “60 Minutes”. on Sunday.

　　While saying he still had the energy and drive to run again, Gore recognized, “There are a lot of people within the Democratic Party who felt exhausted (by the 2000 race)… who felt like, OK, ‘I don't want to go through that again.’ And I'm frankly sensitive to that feeling.”

　　In nearly two dozen interviews after Gore announced his plans, Democrats dutifully claimed their party had lost a top candidate, but one after another, they praised Gore for taking an early exit from a primary race he could have won, sparing them a repeat.

　　Gore, 54, said he was making his decision “in the full understanding that it probably means that I will never have another opportunity to run for president.”

　　Party activists(激進(jìn)主義分子)blamed Gore for losing despite a booming economy and eight years of a Democratic administration. Gore even lost his home state of Tennessee; a victory there would have given him the White House.

1．Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?

[　　]

A．Gore Was Criticized

B．Gore Decides Not to Fight Bush in 2004

C．Former US. Vice President Al Gore

D．Al Gore and Gorge Bush

2．Why do you think Gore has decides not to run in 2004 according to this passage?

[　　]

A．Because he is quite old

B．Because many people are against him

C．Because he quite understands the feelings of a lot of Democratic members

D．Because he doesn't want to be President of US

3．What was Gore's feeling when he made his decision?

[　　]

A．Delight
B．Sad

　　The country of Chile is struggling to recover from one of the most powerful earthquakes in history．The quake struck the South American nation early Saturday morning．It registered 8．8 on the Richter scale．Ex-perts say the earthquake in Chile is among the five most powerful earthquakes ever recorded．

　　The epicenter of the earthquake is about 70 miles north of the city of Concepci6n．The area has been rocked by dozens of aftershocks since the big quake hit on Saturday morning．

　　On Sunday, Chilean President Michelle Bachelet updated reports on the toll the earthquake has taken．“It’s an enormous catastrophe,” she said．Countless buildings and roadways have been destroyed or badly damaged．Rescuers continued to work around the clock to find survivors who may be trapped under the rub-ble of fallen buildings．Government officials estimate more than 2 million people have lost their homes．

　　Bachelet assured people that food and medical aid were on the way．Ten thousand members of the Chil-ean military have been dispatched to help in the relief and recovery efforts．Many of the country’s major gro-cery stores have started giving away basic food and supplies to people in the affected areas．Secretary-Gener-al of the United Nations spoke to President Bachelet by telephone．He assured her that the United Nations“stands ready to assist the Chilean government’s rescue and recovery efforts ”．

　　The earthquake in Chile comes less than two months after the 7．0 magnitude earthquake that Haiti suf-fered in January．Although the earthquake in Chile was more powerful than the one in Haiti，the damage is unlikely to be as severe．Earthquakes are more common in Chile，and many buildings and homes there are constructed to withstand tremors better．Also，the area of Chile most affected by this earthquake is not asheavily populated as Port-au-Prince, where the epicenter of the Haitian quake was located．Furthermore, Chile is one of South America’s richest, best-organized countries．Its government has more supplies and people available to effectively respond to national emergencies．

　　The energy released by the quake caused shock waves to roll across the Pacific Ocean in the form of tsu-namis(海嘯)that have the potential to do great damage to coastal areas．Some of these waves struck the Chilean coast，causing major damage to seaside towns．Coastal communities in Russia，Japan，and the Unit-ed States were concerned，too，but there were no reports of severe damage from the waves that eventually reached the countries’shores．

(1)

Who is leading the earthquake relief efforts in Chile?

[　　]

A．

The Chilean government and military．

B．

Geologists and other scientists．

C．

The United Nations peacekeeping forces．

D．

Secretary-General of the United Nations．

The damage from Chile’s earthquake is not expected to be as severe as the damage from Haiti’s quake．Which could not be the reason for it?

[　　]

A．

Chile is one of the richest，best-organized countries in South America．

B．

Chile has constructed many buildings for the people．

C．

Chile knows how to respond to a national emergency．

D．

The epicenter area of the Chile earthquake is less heavily populated than that of the Haiti’s quake．

(3)

One result of the earthquake in Chile was ________．

[　　]

A．

severe storms in Russia and Japan

B．

massive waves in the pacific Ocean

C．

a lack of food supplies in coastal communities

D．

a social confusion across the globe

(4)

Major Earthquake Hits Chile
