     Barcelona is regarded as Spain's second city, behind capital Madrid. The city is rich in history. Barcelona
was founded by Carthaginians and according to tradition, it got its name from the great Barker family of
ancient Carpage. After numerous different conquers, including the Romans and the Moores that seriously
damaged the city, the Argons made Catalonia, of which Barcelona was the capital. Strong and prosperous,
since the 1970s, the city has formed its Catalon background. But it wasn't until the summer Olympics in 1992
that Barcelona became the modern, lively city that it still is today. And with this prosperity have come
wonderful hotels. The Raewon Callas the 1st was opened in 1992, by the King and Queen of Spain.
     With buildings like the Casa Cal Bain and the Casa Minga, Antony Gaudy is believed to have made great
impact on the image of Barcelona. He also built the fantastic Park Quell. Antony Gaudy died in 1926, leaving
an unfinished cathedral as his epitaph (墓志銘).
     There are the attractions of coming to Barcelona?
     There are many, many different attractions: culture, leisure, monuments, our architecture, and the
gastronomy (美食). Barcelona has commercial areas and shopping areas of five kilometers that goes around
to the sea to the north. You can also see our architecture, our monuments, our museums, and our restaurants.
So there is a mix between shopping and services.
     One label that's hot among fashion consciousness is MIRO, and these trendy designs of clothing and shoes
originate in Barcelona. The region itself now produces for other international labels, like for the Gallic giant
Lacose.
     No visit to the city would be complete without a tour of the Nou Camp, the home of one of Spain's finest
teams, Barcelona Football Club. FC Barcelona was founded in 1899 along with the other Spanish team, Real
Madrid. It's one of the greatest football teams in Europe. With players like Maradona and Ronaldo having
played for Barca, it's easy to explain their success! FC Barcelona is known to have won more cups than any
other team in European football history. The stadium, the Nou Camp, can hold one hundred and twelve

     Parts of Africa are covered by a dark cloud. But this is no rain cloud. It is a living cloud made of billions of
locusts (蝗蟲(chóng)) that are traveling across the continent eating everything in their path. And now in the battle to
stop this disaster, a radio station in Senegal, West Africa, is offering listeners 50 kilograms of rice if they can
catch and kill 50 kilograms of locusts. "We think this idea will get more people to take part in the war on the
locusts," said Abdoulaye Ba, from Sud-Fm, a radio station in one of Senegal's worst affected area .
    This is West Africa's biggest locust disaster in 15 years, and it is moving east, causing huge damage to
crops. As they move they produce young and increase their number and will soon threaten (威脅) Sudan in the
northeast of Africa. Some say it could reach Asia. Experts say the harmful effect on crops in areas already
suf-fering from food shortage and war could cause many people to go hungry. Governments in the areas are
not well equipped to fight the pest.
     Although leaders of 12 countries have agreed on a plan, it is not expected to be enough.
     "We are now treating 6,000 hectares (公頃) per day with pesticide (殺蟲(chóng)劑 ), but we need to treat 20,000
hectares per day in order to have any hope of controlling this disaster," said Mohamed Abdallahi Ould Babah,
director of locust control in Mauritania.
     Requests are being made for international aid, which is the only way to limit the disaster, the UN's Food
and Agricul-ture Organization warned.

D. both A and B
2. The story is mainly about ______.
A. West Africa's united effort in fighting a disaster
B. the difficulty in controlling locusts
C. how locusts caused great damage to West Africa
D. a struggle to fight against a disaster brought by locusts in West Africa
3. The locust disaster ______.
A. would be even more serious in Asia
B. is (was)out of control
C. affected only the warning areas
D. can not be stopped unless twice as much pesticide is provided for the affected areas
4. Which of the following is WRONG ?
A. Sud-Fm offered a reward for fighting locusts so that more people would join in the effort.
B. Senegal is to the southwest of Sudan.
C. The locusts can cause such damage mainly because it has no natural enemy in West Africa.
D. 12 countries affected by locusts have united but still lack pesticide.
