(2013天津)

Dubai is a city of big business，expensive hotels，skyscrapers(摩天樓)，and shopping malls．In the early 20th century，Dubai was a successful trading port．People from the world stopped in Dubai to do business．But it was still a small city，and most people lived as fishermen and businessmen．Then in 1966，oil was discovered．This brought a lot of money into the area，and soon Dubai began to change．

The city is still an amazing mix(混合體)of people from different countries．The people from 150 countries live and work in Dubai，and foreigners now outnumber Dubai natives(本地人)by eight to one！

Many people welcome the city’s growth．But an increasing number of Dubai natives worry about the speed of change．As a Dubai native says，“We must always remember where we came from．Our kids must know we worked very，very hard to get where we are now，and there’s a lot of more work to do．”

B

A city without cars would be very strange，right？But Venice(威尼斯)is such a city．

Venice is in the northeast of Italy．It wasn’t built on land，like Beijing or Shanghai，but on more than 110 islands．Seawater is everywhere around the city．

Even so，travel isn’t that difficult．The waterways have always been the best way to get around．There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can lead you where you want to go．

People in Venice move from place to place by boat．They like to enjoy the scenery and cool summer nights while taking boat trips．They can talk to other people as they go along．

Venice grew out of small islands in saltwater lakes when some Italians escaped from a war more than 1，500 years ago，and built homes there．

Water makes the city special，but it is also a big problem．

Once，people used too much underground water．This made the city get lower little by little．Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters．

Another problem is the rising seawater．The temperature has risen over the years．This has made the ice of Arctic Ocean(北冰洋)melt(融化)．

Every year，high waters hit the city in autumn and winter．When a lot of water comes，more than half of the city is underwater．

Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower．

1.According to the article，which picture shows the right position(位置)of Venice？

A．

B．

C．

D．

2.Which is the most impossible way for people in Venice to get around in the passage？

A．On foot．

B．By boat．

C．By car．

D．By bike．

3.Why is Venice still getting lower and lower？

A．Because too many people live there．

B．Because people used too much underground water．

C．Because lots of bridges have been built．

D．Because the underground water is rising．

4.What seasons are dangerous for Venice because of high waters？

A．Summer and autumn．

B．Autumn and winter．

C．Summer and winter．

D．Spring and winter．

5.The article is mainly about________．

A．the position of Venice

B．the history of Venice

C．the problem of Venice

D．the scenery of Venice
