阅读下列短文,按要求完成读写任务
U.S.airlines are seeing a major interruption because of hundreds of flights canceled due to the ash cloud from the Icelandic volcano,but European flight companies will face the biggest losses.
The airline business has been tough:The decline dramatically slowed traffic;February heavy snow forced U.S.airlines to cancel thousands of flights;and now the ashes from the volcano stopped all traffic in and out of northern Europe for days.
“For U.S.flight companies,it'll be a relatively shortterm hit,” said Michael Boyd,president of Boyd Group International,an aviation (航空学) consulting firm.“We think right now they're down about $ 80 million in terms of lost income,and they're down domestically about 80,000 passengers that would have been flying domestically but aren't because they can't get here.”
Delta announced that volcanorelated interruption grounded about 400 flights until Monday at a cost of $ 20 million in lost revenues(收入).But by comparison,the airline canceled 7,000 flights and lost $ 65 million in revenue due to the recent snowstorms.
The disruption has created uncertainty for customers,but analysts say U.S.airlines won't face as many costs as you might think.They are not flying in extra planes to handle the passengers in trouble because companies simply don't have them.“Airlines run a very lean operation now,” Mann said.“So,since there are no spare aircraft or crews,the airlines will attempt to maximize loads on every one of their aircraft that do fly.But it may take days,or in some cases a week or so,to get some of these customers to where they want to go.”

There is a saying in France that states, "The government could fall, the Louvre (卢浮宫)could be broken into or creatures from other planets could land on earth, but if any of these things happened during the Tour de France, no one would notice."

高考英语冲刺阅读理解专项-----B
A rise in the number of suicides(自杀)in South Korea has led policeman Yoo Byong-jong to a new job. He patrols(巡逻)Seoul’s bridges to prevent desperate people throwing themselves into the river.
According to South Korea’s health ministry, suicide rates have doubled in a decade and are now the leading cause of death for people in their 20s and 30s.
The country has the fourthhighest suicide rate among the 30 industrialized countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. It recorded 22.8 suicide deaths for every 100, 000 people in 2003. That's lower than Hungary,Finland and close neighbor Japan . But the number is growing by about 1 percent each year,faster than for all other OECD nations.
In a move to cut suicides by a fifth by 2010,the health ministry is running a television ad campaign. It opens with a lonely man walking on a bridge. A voiceover says,“Think five minutes more before you give it all away...Don't forget you have a loving family.” Other ministry plans include setting up more hotlines and training more suicide counselors. Authorities are also limiting websites that provide suicide methods and sometimes even sell toxic(有毒的)chemicals. Distressed individuals range from students worried about poor grades to people in debt as well as disgraced politicians.
Exports say the rising number in some way can be blamed on media coverage of recent highprofile suicides. These include top business leaders and celebrities(名人)who apparently lead a number of people to copy their actions.
“We saved 50 lives this year when people turned to bridges as a place to die after news reports of such deaths by ‘big shots’,” said the 38yearold Yoo,in December.
Last July,the government and civil associations urged media to avoid reporting specific methods and locations of suicides. But it is difficult to clearly give reasons for the suicide increase.
1. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. desperation problems in Korea
B. suicide problems in Korea
C. how to reduce suicides in Korea
D. the relations between life and suicide
答案解析:答案为B。本题为主旨大意题。全文报道了韩国的自杀率问题非常严峻, 当局为抑制自杀采取了一系列的措施,第一段点出话题,最后一段呼应了话题,故答案为B。
2. Suicide rates in South Korea ___________.
A. arouse international concerns
B. are going from bad to worse
C. didn’t draw special attention of the government
D. have done great harm to the economical development
答案解析:答案为B。本题为细节题。由第三段最后一句话 “But the number is growing by about 1 percent each year,faster than for all other OECD nations.” 可知,自杀率每年在增长,也就是在变得更糟糕,故答案为B。
3. Lowering the number of reported suicides by celebrities in the media in Korea ______.
A. will be limited
B. damage the fame of media
C. didn't affect people's daily life.
D. might cause fewer people to commit suicide
答案解析:答案为D。本题为推理题。由第五段 “Exports say the rising number in some way can be blamed on media coverage of recent highprofile suicides. These include top business leaders and celebrities who apparently lead a number of people to copy their actions.”可知,专家认为自杀人数在上升在某些程度上是归咎于媒体报道的高数据的自杀率,其中包括商业领导要人和名人的自杀引起了人们去效仿他们的行为,可以推断,降低媒体报道的名人自杀人数或许能使较少的人自杀,故答案为D。
4. From the passage, we can infer that_______.
A. authorities manage websites efficiently
B. present hotlines are not enough for suicide counselors
C. cutting suicides by a fifth by 2010 is easy to carry out
D. people choose suicide as the way to end their lives for a lack of love
答案解析:答案为A。本题为推理题。由第四段倒数第二句话 “Authorities are also limiting websites that provide suicide methods and sometimes even sell toxic chemicals.”可知,当局限制提供自杀方法甚至卖有毒的化学药物的网站,可以推断,当局有效地对网站进行了管理。故答案为A。
由第四段 “Other ministry plans include setting up more hotlines and training more suicide counselors.” 可知,由于自杀者众多,因此要建立更多的热线和培训更多的自杀咨询专员来阻止自杀,B选项意思与此不符。从第四段所实施的阻止自杀的措施来看,减少自杀并不容易实施,故C选项错误。由最后一段最后一句话 “But it is difficult to clearly give reasons for the suicide increase.” 可知,D选项错误。
较难题目特训:人物故事类
Inside the pleasingly fragrant cafe, So All May Eat (SAME) in downtown Denver, the spirit of generosity (慷慨) is instantly noticeable: A donation box stands in place of a cash register. Customers here pay only what they can afford, no questions asked.
A risky business plan, perhaps, but SAME Cafe has done one unchangeable thing in the Mile High City for six years: Open only at midday, the restaurant provides poor local people with healthy, delicious lunches six days a week. Those unable to pay for their meals can instead volunteer as waiters and waitresses, and dishwashers, or look after the buildings and equipment for the cafe.
“It’s based on trust, and it’s working all right, ” says co- owner Brad Birky, who started the cafe in 2006 with his wife Libby. Previously volunteering at soup kitchens, the Birkys were dissatisfied with the often unhealthy meals they served there.
“We wanted to offer quality food in a restaurant where everyone felt comfortable, regardless of their circumstances, ” Birky says. SAME’s special lunch menu changes daily and most food materials are natural and grown by local farmers.
The cafe now averages 65 to 70 customers(and eight volunteers) a day. And the spirit of generosity behind the project appears to be spreading. In early 2007, one volunteer who had cleared snow for his meals during the long winter said goodbye to the Birkys. “He said he was going to New Orleans to help with the hurricane cleanup, ” says Birky.
1. What can we learn about the soup kitchens the Birkys previously worked for?
A. They refused to have volunteers.
B. They offered low quality food.
C. They provided customers with a good environment.
D. They closed down because of poor management.
2. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. The customers who cannot pay can work as volunteers instead.
B. More volunteers will go to New Orleans for the hurricane cleanup.
C. Many new cafes will be opened to offer free lunches in the town.
D. The lunch menu has remained the same since the cafe was started.
3. The author’s attitude towards running such a cafe is_____.
A. unfavorableB. approvingC. doubtfulD. cautious
