In Rio , one of the points of attraction is doubtlessly the most famous beach in the world, the Copacabana. When the weather is right the Copa becomes a stage on which everyone can play a part. Rio’s beaches, however, are bad news for swimmers. The surf is so striking. Often careless or over-courageous tourists must be pulled out of the water by a rescue(救援) team. In peak season during January and February, the helicopters of the governmental rescue organization, fly life-saving tasks from sunrise to sunset. Doctors also need to be on board when the control room reports an emergency(突发事件). The doctors and rescuers will do their best with the equipment available on board. If the patient shows no signs of recovery, the　 rescue team decides to fly him to hospital.

In Rio, lifesaving is a man’s job. The four-meter-high watchtowers are always manned. Alarm at tower number 5, a woman has swum too far out to sea and can’t make it back to the beach by herself. One minute later the rescue team has reached the Copacabana. From a height of ten meters above the water, Luis Carlos jumps into the sea close to the helpless swimmer.　 His workmates on board must keep an eye on him so that they can tell the pilot in which position to keep the helicopter. Another man is in the water now to help calm the woman down and get her ready to be airlifted. The pilot must slowly control the helicopter sideways and aim carefully. Once the net is full, the helicopter slowly flies to the beach.

The air rescue team is back on duty again. In the course of the day, there are eight more emergencies. The daily record at the end of the day reads, “nothing unusual happens.”

1.Which kind of person is more likely to have an accident in Copacabana?

A. a man who can’t swim

B. a man who has nothing to worry about

C. a man who fears the sea

D. a man who was a doctor

2.When the rescuer jumps into the sea to help the swimmer in danger, the helicopter will ______

A. fly to them as close as possible

B. fly over them and wait for orders

C. fly slowly to the beach

D. fly to the hospital

3.What can we infer from the text?

A. The Copacabana is a bad place for swimmers.

B. After the rescuers pick up the patient, they will send them to hospital.

C. If there is no accident, the rescue team will record “nothing unusual happens ”.

D. The helicopters of the rescue organization will fly tasks day and night.

One of the most exciting and attractive fields of work today is the fashion industry. Some of the most well-known people in this industry are the fashion designers with unbelievable financial (金融的) Kingdoms. But most of the clothes that you wear have been designed by people that the world has never heard of. Although these unknown fashion designers will never make a very large amount of money as their famous workmates, most still would not think of changing their careers. They are doing what they love.

If you spend hours looking through fashion magazines and like making your own clothes, a career as a fashion designer might be right for you. You do not have to go to design school to become a fashion designer, but many people who want a career in this field do. One of the most famous places to study is the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. It is located in the heart of the “garment” district on Eighth Avenue, also known as Fashion Avenue.

Becoming a fashion designer is not just a matter of classroom education. Students know that they cannot just leave school and start designing on their own. Many think that they need at least four years’ experience working for someone else after they graduate. The best schools encourage students to work closely with the fashion industry while they are still studying.

You need ambition (抱负) and hard work to get a career in fashion. Students often work 12 hours a day. They are encouraged to have realistic ambitions and not to expect success overnight, if ever. Success means finding a job in the fashion industry and more years of hard work.

1.What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. Some famous fashion designers can make a lot of money.

B. Most of the clothes are designed by famous designers.

C. Most fashion designers don’t like their own jobs.

The Manneken Pis is one of Brussels’ most popular tourist attractions. It has been peeing (撒尿) fresh water into a fountain in the Belgian capital since the 17th century. Now, the peeing boy has finally become environmentally friendly.

To everyone’s surprise, the famous statue used to waste 1,000 to 2,500 liters of drinking water a day. He peed water directly into the city’s sewers (下水道).

Energy engineer Regis Callens found this waste after fixing a water meter (水量计) in the statue. If his calculation is correct, then the peeing boy has wasted more than 250 million liters of water over the last 400 years.

As a result of this finding, a new system for delivering the water back to the naughty boy was created. Now he will no longer waste clean drinking water. Instead, he will use water recycled from a closed circuit (闭合回路). That means the water he pees out will be used again in an almost endless cycle.

The solution came out during the Brussels Water Week. A local official said, “We will also set up the system in schools and sports centers. We should set an example. We will encourage everyone in Brussels to pay attention to their water consumption.”

The Manneken Pis is a copy of the 1619 original, which is in a nearby museum. He is often dressed up in different costumes throughout the year to celebrate festivals and special events.

1.What wasn’t expected by the public according to the text?

A.The Manneken Pis was environmentally unfriendly.

B.The calculation of Regis Callens was not correct.

C.The system was created to send water back to the boy.

D.The city’s sewers were blocked because of the statue.

2.What can we learn from the words of the local official in Paragraph 5?

A.The solution was useful to local people.

B.Water waste will become more serious.

C.Citizens are encouraged to protect the statue.

D.The system will be used widely in the future.

3.Which one can be the best title of the text?

A.A Popular Tourist Attraction B.A Water-saving Statue

C.A Water Meter in the Statue D.A Solution to Water Waste
