What is Cold？
How cold is cold？ It all depends on who is talking. To us ordinary people nothing in the world maybe so cold as failing through the ice on a frozen lade, or huddling(卷缩)on a windswept mountain hoping to be rescued in the dead of winter. Some may even think they are freezing to death when rushing under an ice-cold shower just out of a warm bed. Indeed, we all know what cold means. Arctic(北极) .explorers would laugh at such ideas. Down in the Antarctic(南极), where scientists of many nations spend very dark months living on a sheet of ice two miles thick, the temperature spends most of its time at 50or60 degrees Fahrenheit below zero, often with hundred-mile winds and heavy snowstorms. This is the cold that is cold, to them.
Space people have still another standard. The coldest place in which a person can live and survive is some 400 degrees hotter than space itself,". However, the coldest place in earth-colder even than space-is inside a machine called a cryostat(低温保持器). Here, scientists and engineers in thousands of laboratories and factories in many parts of the world regularly make cold that turns the South Pole's worst into a pleasant summer day. They are inching toward such cold that there is no temperature at all-down a frozen valley that leads to Absolute Zero, 459.67 degrees Fahrenheit below our zero of a cold winter's day.
According to the passage, nothing is so cold to an ordinary person as ______.
A．waiting for death on top of a mountain in winter
B．being trapped in a mountain swept by wind in severe winter
C．taking a cold shower right out of bed
D．slipping on a frozen lake
第2题
So severe was the disruption (破坏) in New York State that its governor, George Pataki, declared a state of emergency. Confused workers spilled on to the streets, while thousands more were trapped for hours in lifts and hot, crowded subway trains. Lots of stranded (进退两难的) people ended up spending Thursday night on New York's streets. Thieves in Brooklyn in New York, and in Canada's capital, Ottawa, took advantage of the absence of streetlights and burglar alarms, and went on a looting spree (疯狂抢掠). Officials were taken aback by the speed at which the chaos unfolded. President George Bush described the incident as a "massive national problem" and promised a full investigation into what caused it.
That is still a matter of some debate. At first, naturally, there were fears of terrorist involvement, but this was quickly ruled out. However, officials were left arguing about what had actually happened. The office of Canada's prime minister, Jean Chretien, said that a severe accident at a nuclear-power plant in Pennsylvania may have been the cause. Earlier, American and Canadian officials had said a fire or perhaps lightning had hit a power plant near Niagara Falls in New York State.
1、Several cities were affected by the massive power failure on August 14th except____.
A、Ottawa
B、Cleveland
C、Chicago
D、Brooklyn
2、The word "outage" in Paragraph 1 can be best replaced by____.
A、power shortcut
B、 disruption
C、 massive national problem
D、 power failure
3、Which of the following statements is true according to the passage？____
A、Many streetlights and burglar alarms were stolen during the blackout.
B、Some terrorists were involved in the incident.
C、President George Bush demanded a full investigation into the disruption in New York.
D、Officials were not sure what had caused the power failure.
4、It can be inferred from the passage that____.
A、France has a population of about 60 million.
B、Only some large cities were affected by the power failure.
C、 Canada's prime minister knew what had caused the power failure.
D、Water was spilt onto the streets by confused workers.
5、The power failure on August 14th brought about big chaos except that____.
A、thousands of people were trapped in lifts
B、 many people had to stay on streets for Thursday night.
C、 stores were robbed by the thieves.
D、a power plant near Niagara Falls was hit by a fire or lightning.

The Smog (烟雾)
For over a month, Indonesia was in crisis. Forest fires raged out of control as the country suffered its worst drought for 50 years. Smoke from the fires mixed with sunlight and hot dry air to form. a cloud of smog. This pollution quickly spread and within days it was hanging over neighbouring countries including Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.
When the smoke combined with pollution from factories and cars, it soon became poisonous (有毒的). Dangerous amounts of CO became trapped under the smog and pollution levels rose. People wheezed (喘息) and coughed as they left the house and their eyes watered immediately.
The smog made it impossible to see across streets and whole cities disappeared as grey soot (烟灰) covered everything. In some areas, water was hosed (用胶管浇) from high-rise city buildings to try and break up the smog.
Finally, heavy rains, which came in November, put out the fires and cleared the air. But the environmental costs and health problems will remain. Many people from South-Eastern Asian cities already suffer from breathing huge amounts of car exhaust fumes (汽车排放的废气) and factory pollution. Breathing problems could well increase and many non-sufferers may have difficulties for the first time. Wildlife has suffered too. In lowland forests, elephants, deer, and tigers have been driven out of their homes by smog.
But smog is not just an Asian problem. In fact, the word was first used in London in 1905 to describe the mixture of smoke and thick fog. Fog often hung over the capital. Sometimes the smog was so thick and poisonous that people were killed by breathing problems or in accidents. About 4,000 Londoners died within five days as a result of thick smog in 1952.
Indonesia was in crisis because of the drought.
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Not mentioned

B．They did not want to rescue those piled up at the back of the stand.
C．They did not realize that a fire broke out.
D．They wanted to escape from the fire as soon as possible.
