13．BEIJING  March l  （ Reuters）-China hailed its best ever Winter Olympics on Mon-day，crediting technology，foreign coaches and even improved language skills for the winning five gold，two silver and four bronze medals in'Vancouver．
    Only eight years after skater Yang Yang （A） won the  country's first Winter gold at Salt Lake City，a sweep of the women's short track speed skating and a first figure skating  title helped China to joint seventh place in the medals table．

"We have made an important breakthrough at these Games"Xiao Tian，deputy chef de mission of China's largest ever Winter Games delegation，told the Xinhua news agency．
"Actually the five-gold finish was within my expectation before we set off for the Games，but I couldn't say that at that time because I would not want to put any pressure on the ath-letes．Now I can speak out．"
    Xiao was quick to retun to the earlier subject of conversation to pessirrustic（悲觀）  type，however，when discussing the future，emphasizing the huge task the Winter Sports adnunistra-tion faced to close the gap on their Summer counterparts，who topped the table at the 2008 Bei-jing Olympics．
"Despite the good results at these Games，we still have a long way to go in the develop-ment of China's winter sports，"he said．
"It's impossible for us to reach the same-level as we have done in Summer sports，but we will try to minimize the gap as much as we can．"

1．The towers，called the Bosco Verticale，are under construction in Milan．Towering over the city skyline，these are the world'S first forest in the sky apartments．
With trees equal to 10，000 square meters of forest covering 27 floors，the twin towers will be home to an astonishing 730 trees，5，000 bushes and 11，000 ground plants．
Michele Brunello，director of Boeri Studios，explained，"The idea of a vertical forest came when we were involved in a local tree planting project．We imagined the building that allowed the landscape（景觀）to enter it．"
Brunello'S concept is designed to save on land，which is a precious resource in the centre of a major city．"We can provide the quality of life of expensive housing without consuming the resources that conventional housing would demand．"he said．
Bosco Verticale has been designed as a home to a variety of plants，which planners hope will act as a filter（過濾器）to pollution from traffic，shade people from the sun and will change its appearance each season．
"People live with the trees but they don't own them-they are communal，"said Brunello．"All the plants have been picked by the designers to be suitable to the height and correct side of the building．So the people aren't just choosing an apartment based on the size and view，but also they need to consider which trees and plants they will be living with．"
Safety is also a major factor．If a tree Was blown down in the wind from a great height，this could be a huge problem．So we tested various trees to make sure we had the right ones．
When the sky forest is completed by the end of 2012，the structure will house the same amount of people as 50，000 square meters of conventional urban area．What'S more，it will be home to insects，birds and animals that usually live in the parks of Milan．
61．By saying"allowed the landscape to enter it"Brunello means thatC．
A．trees will be planted inside the building
B．the towers are part of the tree planting project
C．the landscape of trees and plants is part of the towers
D．the landscape of trees can be moved into the building freely
62．What does the underlined word"communal"probably mean？B
A．Expensive．    B．Public．    C．Dangerous．     D．Unaffordable．
63．Which of the following may not be considered when buying an apartment in Bosco Verticale？D
A．The size of the apartment．
B．The view of the apartment．
C．The different trees on the towers．
D．The amount of birds living with the trees．
64．Which isn't the benefit that the Bosco Verticale can bring to Milan？B
A．Cleaning the polluted air by traffic．
B．Lowering the conventional houses'price．
C．Changing its appearance with seasons．
D．Shading people from the sun．
65．Which of the following would be the best title for the text？D
A．Brunello creates a special park   
B．Bosco Verticale consumes less land
C．Italy will plant a variety oftrees  
D．Milan constructs towers of trees．

18．In a natural disaster-a hurricane，flood，volcanic eruption，or other catastrophes-minutes and even seconds of warning can make the difference between life and death．Because of this，scientists are working to use the latest technological advances to predict when and where disasters will happen．They are also studying how best to analyze and communicate this information once it is obtained．
On September 29，1998，Hurricane Georges made landfall in Biloxi，Mississippi，after damaging Haiti，the Dominican Republic，Puerto Rico，and several islands of the Caribbean badly with torrential rains and winds up to 160km per hour．Few people lost their lives along the Gulf Coast of the United States，although hundreds died in the Caribbean．
This was a very different outcome from 1900，when a powerful Gulf Coast hurricane made an unexpected direct hit on Galveston，Texas，killing at least 6，000people．
Vastly improved hurricane warnings explain the different circumstances at either end of the 20th century--residents of Galveston had no advance warning that a storm was approaching，while residents of Biloxi had been warned days in advance，allowing for extensive safety precautions （預(yù)防）．
At the same time that people in Biloxi were thankful for the advance warning，some residents of New Orleans，Louisiana were less satisfied．A day before Georges made landfall，forecasters were predicting that the hurricane had a good chance of striking New Orleans．Because much of New Orleans lies below sea level，the city is at risk for flooding．Emergency management officials must begin evacuations （疏散）well before a storm strikes．But evacuation costs money：businesses close，tourists leave，and citizens take precautionary measures．The mayor of New Orleans estimated that his city's preparations for Georges cost more than 50million．After Georges missed New Orleans，some residents questioned the value of the hurricane forecasts in the face of such high costs．
The different views on the early warnings for Hurricane Georges show some of the complexities related to predicting disasters．Disaster prediction is a process of providing scientific information to the government officials and other decision makers who must respond to those predictions．

67．What is the purpose of disaster prediction according to the passage？B
A．To identify the cause of disasters．
B．To save people's lives and property．
C．To prevent natural disasters from happening，
D．To apply advanced technology to disaster prediction．
68．Which of the following areas suffered the most severe damage？D
A．Puerto Rico．                     B．New Orleans．
C．Biloxi，Mississippi．             D．Galveston，Texas．
69．The city residents of New Orleans were unsatisfied becauseA_．
A．their preparations were made in vain
B．the hurricane warning arrived rather late
C．the forecast hurricane did not hit the city
D．they suffered from a heavy hurricane attack
70．What does the passage mainly talk about？D
A．The different ways of disaster prediction．
B．Technological advances in disaster prediction．
C．The benefits and preparations of disaster prediction．
D．The importance and uncertainty of disaster prediction．

5．Erica David lives in Pinedale，Wyoming，USA，where winter can bring temperatures of below 35degrees Fahrenheit，howling winds，and a lot of snow．So it was just natural that she chose to study snow for her school science fair in the sixth grade．
Now a junior in high school，Erica is in her sixth year of snow experiments，and is well on her way to becoming a snow expert．She started with a basic question：Could snow fences be built to work better？
Snow fences are used to keep snowdrifts（雪堆）from covering areas like roads of train tracks，or to help build up snow where it can help with water shortages in spring when it melts（融化）．"Also，I wanted to protect my animals better from blowing snow，"says Erica，who raises goats，sheep，and pigs．
Before she could test fence designs，Erica had to figure out what would act like real snow in her experiments．"I tested flour，sugar，and salt before I settled on dishwasher powder，"she explains．
Science fairs offer students the chance to test theories，present findings to judges，and meet other researchers．Erica's many achievements include competing at the Discovery Channel Young Scientist Challenge for middle school students and the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair，where students from around the world present their science research．
But perhaps the best reward is that her research is already being put to good use．She has come up with an improved snow fence design，and this year she's helping think out how to provide water supply to native plants，which have been killed off by drilling at nearby natural gasfields．
"Science fairs are an amazing experience，"says Erica．"Just pick your true feeling and go for it．"

72．What does the passage suggest to us？C
A．Science fairs are held for high school students in America．
B．Erica is the youngest show expert well known in America．
C．The environment brought much convenience for Erica to study snow．
D．The hope to contribute to her hometown made Erica experiment on snow．
73．In Erica's hometown，snow fences may play a part inD．
a．reducing the harm blowing snow does to animals
b．supplying water resource to the nearby gas fields
c．making up for the lack of water resource．
d．keeping the traffic smooth
A．a(chǎn)，b，c            B．a(chǎn)，b，d             
C．b，c，d            D．a(chǎn)，c，d
74．Science fairs are attractive to students because theyB．
A．can have their research put into practical use
B．can have their scientific ideas tested out
C．a(chǎn)re allowed to help protect the local wildlife
D．can learn about the most advanced technology
75．Which of the following material can best replace snowing in Erica's experiment？D
A．Flour．         B．Sugar．
C．Salt．          D．Dishwasher powder．
