    When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety…But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm．These people are willing to risk (冒…危險(xiǎn)) being killed by floods or 100-Kilometer- an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up．

    “Storm chasing (追逐)”is becoming an increasingly popular hobby (喜好) ，especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July．A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to l,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop．

    Even then，storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement．“Storm chasing is 95％driving，”says Daniel Lynch，who spends most of his summer storm-chasing．“Sometimes you

Can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen，and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”

    However，for storm chasers，it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm，it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life，”says Jasper Morley．“Every storm is an example of the power of nature．It is the greatest show on Earth．”

Section B

（A）

Taiwan will finalize a plan by the end of June to open up the island to tourists from mainland China, though no date has been fixed for formal implementation（執(zhí)行）, an official at the Mainland Affairs Council（MAC） said on Monday．

The official said the reports in the local press on Monday that the MAC has decided to postpone its plan to announce the implementation of the new plan on July 1 were inaccurate．

The official said cooperation between different organizations was still underway．The United Daily news quoted the director of the MAC’s legal affairs department, Liu Thehsun, as saying the plan to open up to mainland tourists would not be implemented as scheduled due to a lack of cross-strait communication．

Although relevant authorities, including the Bureau of Immigration and the Tourism Bureau, have complete reports on how to deal with visitors from mainland China, the decision has been taken not to press, ahead with announcement of the plan’s implementation on the first of July, Liu was quoted as saying．

The report also said that while no restrictions would be imposed on the mainland visitors in terms of age or residence in China, the visitors would need to hold a steady job or have more than 50,000RMB（about 6,000, U．S．dollars）in bank savings before they would be eligible（有資格的）to visit Taiwan．

In addition, Taiwan bound mainland tourists would have to come as part of a tour group and would be allowed to stay a maximum of 10 days each time．

The number of mainland tourists allowed to enter the island would also initially be limited to 1,000 people a day．

Although most people from Taiwan are free to travel to China, only a small number of mainland Chinese have been able to visit the island due to restrictions imposed by both sides of the Taiwan Strait after the end of a civil war in 1949．

65．At the moment, according to the passage,      ．

       A．no mainland Chinese can visit Taiwan now

       B．a(chǎn)ny mainland Chinese can visit Taiwan now

       C．many mainland Chinese have ever visited Taiwan since 1949

       D．a(chǎn) few mainland Chinese have ever visited Taiwan since 1949

66．When Taiwan opens up the island to tourists from mainland China,．

       A．there will be no restrictions to mainland visitors

       B．mainland visitors who want to travel in Taiwan must have at least ￥50,000 in the bank savings account

       C．there will be no age restrictions to the mainland visitors

       D．mainland visitors will be free to travel to Taiwan

67．We can infer from the passage that get（s） involved in the implementation of the plan．

       A．MAC                     B．United Daily

       C．several organizations         D．Bureau of Immigration

68．Which of the following statement is TRUE?

       A．The implementation of the plan has not been fixed．

       B．It was originally fixed on July 1 to announce the plan’s implementation．

       C．For lack of cross-strait communication, the plan will not be officially completed until July．

       D．When the plan is finalized, it will be announced immediately．

閱讀下面短文，并根據(jù)題目要求用英語(yǔ)回答問(wèn)題（請(qǐng)注意問(wèn)題后的字?jǐn)?shù)要求）。

Many people want to offer help in a natural disaster by donating money, transporting supplies, giving blood, or offering physical assistance. Unfortunately, there are times when kind-hearted people disturb more than they help in a natural disaster. An untrained individual may end up becoming another person in need of rescue.

If you decide to be a volunteer during a natural disaster, be sure you coordinate(使協(xié)調(diào)) with trained rescuers so that your assistance can be effectively made use of. You may be able to offer transportation to survivors that are not seriously injured, or you may be able to help bring in necessities; however, you should never decide by yourself what needs to be done.

Giving donations is often the best way to help in a natural disaster. Just make sure that your donation goes to a reliable organization. That means the organization will spend the largest percentage of its donations on direct assistance to victims of the natural disaster; _________. After a natural disaster, dishonest “charities” often show up trying to collect money. If you are donating to help during a natural disaster, look for a well-recognized, well-respected name, or do some research before giving. If you would like to check out different charities, a good place to start is the Better Business Bureau.

If you would rather donate food, clothing, or other supplies, make sure such items are sent to the proper location where they can be effectively sorted and distributed to those in need.

Just know that any effort you make to help, no matter how large or how small, will be appreciated.
