Every January, Breckenridge hosts the International Snow Sculpture Championships. Fourteen teams travel from all over the world to Switzerland to compete. Teams sculpt for sixty-five hours over five days. Each team hopes that when the time is up, its sculpture will be judged the best.

As the championship begins, the fourteen teams are faced with huge blocks of snow that weigh twenty tons each. The sculptors bring out their favorite tools that work best on the hard iced snow, but they are not allowed to employ tools that use electricity.

Most teams are inspired by what they have seen in daily life. For example, one team carved a teapot with tea pouring out. Another team sculpted a little cat on its hind feet(后腳)reaching into a fish bowl complete with water ripples(漣漪) and a crab(螃蟹) trying to attack the cat. In 2006, Team USA sculpted a golden dog looking at its image reflected in a mirror. To create the effect that the little dog saw its reflection in the glass, the artists carved two dogs facing each other with their paws(腳爪)touching.

As the final hours of the competition tick by, exhausted team members add last-minute detail. They use small brooms to brush off snow caught in tiny holes. One team member counts down the last five minutes while others are busy cleaning up the tools. If they leave any tools behind, they will be out. When the whistle bows, everyone must step away from the sculpture. The judges then vote on creativity, technical skills, and visual impact (視覺效果)of the designs.

In 200, Team USA took first place for their golden dog sculpture titled “Discovery”. But the competition is not just about medals and ribbons. “It’s not about the prize,” said Rob Neyland, Team USA’s captain. “It’s about touching the audience. ”

Every year, as the championship ends, each team is already dreaming of the next masterpiece it will design.

What kind of tools are the sculptors Not permitted to use?(回答詞數(shù)不超過6個(gè))

                                                                              

What gives the sculptors ideas for their creative work? (回答詞數(shù)不超過9個(gè))

                                                                               

Why did Team USA win the competition in 2006? (回答詞數(shù)不超過15個(gè))

                                                                              

73．The tools that use electricity.                                                 

74．The things they have seen in daily life.                                         

75．Because its sculpture was judged the best for creativity, technical skills and visual impact.


解析:

本文是一片記敘文，講述的是：國際冰雕比賽。

【小題1】根據(jù)第二段的“The sculptors bring out their favorite tools that work best on the hard iced snow, but they are not allowed to employ tools that use electricity”可以得出答案：需要用電的工具。

【小題2】 根據(jù)第三段的“Most teams are inspired by what they have seen in daily life.”可以得出答案：日常生活中他們看到的事物。

簡答題（共3小題；每小題1.5分，滿分4.5分）

Tsunamis (海嘯) are a series of huge waves created by an underground movement such as an earthquake or a volcanic eruption (火山噴發(fā)) . A tsunami can travel hundreds of miles per hour in the open ocean and hit the land with huge waves.

From the area where the tsunamis come, waves travel in all directions. Once the waves approach the coast, they will become more than 100 feet in height. The topography (地形) of the coastline and the ocean floor will influence the size of the wave. There may be more than one wave and the latter one may be larger than the one before. That is why a small tsunami at one beach can be a huge wave a few miles away.

All tsunamis are dangerous, even if they may not damage every coastline they strike. A tsunami can strike anywhere along most of the US coastline. Many harmful tsunamis have occurred along the coasts of California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska and Hawaii.

A movement of the ocean floor, caused by earthquakes, most often causes tsunamis. If a tsunami occurs close to a coast, the first wave could reach the beach in a few minutes, even before a warning is given. Areas are at greater risk if they are less than 25 feet above sea level and within a mile of the coastline. Drowning is the most common cause of death during a tsunami. Tsunami waves are very harmful to buildings. Other dangers include floods, pollution of drinking water, and fires from gas lines.

An accurate prediction (預(yù)報(bào)) system will allow authorities (官方) to issue timely warnings and save lives in the event of a shore-bound tsunami. But forecasting tsunamis accurately is very difficult because the ocean is usually calm before they strike land.

65. What can cause tsunamis according to the passage? ( 回答詞數(shù)不超過6個(gè) )

66. What harm can a tsunami bring besides killing people and damaging buildings? ( 回答詞數(shù)不超過15個(gè) )

67. Why is it very difficult to forecast tsunami accurately ? ( 回答詞數(shù)不超過9個(gè) )

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)73-75題的具體要求，簡要回答問題。

Shanghai is the largest city in China. About eleven million people make their homes in Shanghai and its suburbs. This extremely large city spreads out along the banks of the Huang Pu River, which flows into the mouth of the Yangtze River about fourteen miles north of here. Large oceangoing ships travel to Shanghai by way of the Yangtze and the Huang Pu.

Shanghai was a small, unimportant city until 1842 when China lost a war with Great Britain. The British realized that Shanghai was in an excellent location to serve as a seaport for the densely（密集） populated Yangtze River Plain. They forced the Chinese to allow English traders to settle on the wastelands outside the city walls. Later, French, American, and Japanese traders also came to Shanghai. The foreigners built whole new sections of Shanghai, including homes, stores, factories, and office buildings. Thousands of Chinese poured into Shanghai in search of jobs. Most of them settled in the old part of the city. As time passed, shanghai became one of the busiest seaports in the world.
