　　Thousands of people living in the Chinese capital will celebrate the start of the Chinese New year by heading for the ski resorts(滑雪場)．Never mind that Beijing's dry weather seldom produces snow．It is cold enough in winter for snow-making machines to make a covering for the hills north to the capital．And the rapid growth of a pleasure-seeking middle class has formed the basis for this new craze(熱潮)Since Beijing's first ski resort was opened ten years ago, the sport has enjoyed astonishing increase．There are now more than a dozen resorts．Clothes markets in the city have added bright colored ski suits to their winter collections．Mr．Wei, a manager of a newly-opened ski resort in Beijing, sees the growth of an industry that could soon lead Chinese to head for the ski resorts of Europe, In recent years ski resorts offering natural snow have opened in China．But many are in faraway areas of the country and can't really match the equipment and services of some ski resorts in Europe．

　　Beijing's skiing craze is partly a result of the recent increase in private(私有的)cars．This has led to the growth of a Ieisure industry in the capital's suburbs(郊區(qū)), which until the late-1990s were unreachable to ordinary people, According to Mr, Wei, about 40％ of the visitors to his resort come in their own cars．The rest are bused in by schools, businesses or government Offices．

　　The problem is making money．Starting ski resorts requires quite a lot of money; hiring land from the local government, preparing the hills, buying snow machines, making sure there are enough water and electricity to run them, and buying ski equipment for hiring out to customers．

　　The ski resort where Mr．Wei works cost nearly ＄4m to set up．And．as so often in China when someone comes up with a good idea, many others hash in and price wars break out．Beijing now offers some of the cheapest ski training classes in the world, though with most people rather new to the sport, expecting a few more doing the same job．

(1)

What does this text mainly talk about?

[　　]

A．

Convenience for skiers brought about by private cars．

B．

Skiing as a new way of enjoying one's spare time．

C．

Things to be considered when starting a ski resort．

The Nobel Prizes

The prizes are awarded by the Nobel Foundation（基金會）for outstanding achievements or contributions in these areas: chemistry, physics, medicine or physiology, literature and peace. Each prize has three parts. The first part is a gold medal. Second, a winner of a Nobel Prize is given a diploma（證書）saying that he has been awarded the prize. The third part of the prize is a large amount of money. Often a prize is awarded to just one person, but not always. Sometimes a prize is shared, maybe by two or more people who have worked together to reach a goal. Since the Nobel Prizes are international prizes, scientists, inventors, writers, and diplomats（外交官）from all countries may receive a prize. Sometimes, two people from countries with different political views may even share a prize. An example of this is the 1973 Peace Prize, which was awarded to Henry Kissinger of the United States and to Le Due Tho of North Vietnam for the Vietnam（越南）peace negotiations（談判）.It is also sometimes true that a prize is not given. If there is no outstanding achievement in one of these areas, no prize is given in that area. In 1972, for example, no Nobel Peace Prize was given. Someone must decide whether or not to give an award. The process of nominating（提名，推薦）and choosing Nobel Prize winners has two parts. First, nominations, or recommendations of people who might deserve（應得）a Nobel Prize, are made. The nominations in physics and chemistry are made by the Royal Academy（研究員，學會）of Science in Stockholm. The nominations in medicine or physiology are made by the Caroline Medical Institute, which is also in Stockholm. The Swedish Academy, along with the French and Spanish Academies, makes nominations in literature. The peace prize nominations are made by a committee of the Norwegian government. Many nominations are made in each area. Nominations from these groups begin the process of choosing the Nobel Prize winners.

The second part of the process of choosing Nobel Prize winners is to decide which of the nominees deserves the award in each area. This decision is made by the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm. The Foundation may decide not to give a prize at all in any area.

1.A Nobel Prize is given in the form of _____________.

A. a large quantity of money　　　　　　　　　　   B.a diploma

C.a gold medal　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  D.all of the above

2.The 1973 Peace Prize was awarded to _____________.

4.The decision of literature prize winner is made by_____________.

A.the Swedish Academy and the French and Spanish Academies

B.the Nobel Foundation

D.the Royal Academy of Science in Stockholm

5.We can infer from this passage that_____________.
