Most people would say the sea is blue and green. But the people who live near the coast of Zhejiang may say it is red. It is not people who caused the colour change, but very small living thing in the sea. They are algae（藻类）and protozoa（原生动物）. They come in many different colours: red, yellow or brown. Red is the easiest of those to see, so when this happens, people call it a “red tide.”

Red tides only happen when conditions in the sea are right. In the past few years, factories and people have been putting more chemicals into the sea. These chemicals help algae and protozoa to grow very quickly. The temperature of the sea is also important. Red tides usually happen at 20 to 30 degrees Celsius（摄氏的）. Red tides often happen in dry, warm areas where there is little wind. Living things grow easily in these places. Sometimes fishermen help red tides by mistake. They put small sea animals into the water for food to help fish grow.

Those living things do more than change the colour of the water--they also put poison and mucus（黏液）into the sea. This is bad for fish. The poison is bad for their brains. And too much mucus in the sea fills up fish’s gills（鳃）, so they can’t breathe. Lots of dead fish and other sea animals are now washed up on Chinese beaches.

Red tides can be bad for people, too. The algae gets inside of fish and it smells bad. It can make your eyes water. If people eat fish with too much algae inside, they could die.

Fishermen in Zhejiang are having a hard time right now. Because of the red tide, they are selling 30% less fresh seafood than usual.

In China, red tides usually happen in May and June around places like Fujian, Guangdong and Hong Kong.

Many other countries sometimes also have red tides. But it seems that we have few ways to stop red tides. They can last as long as 16 months.

1.What can cause the water in the sea to change its colour?

A. Algae.　　 B. Algae and protozoa.

C. Protozoa.　　 D. People and animals.

2.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Fishermen in the area sell less fresh seafood than usual.

B. People could die if they eat fish with too much algae inside.

C. Algae and protozoa can’t give off any poison and mucus into the water.

D. Eating fish with algae in them can make people’s eyes water.

3.Which of the following is not a cause of red tides?

A. People catch too many fish and eat too much seafood.

B. People and factories put more chemicals into the sea.

C. The temperature is at 20 to 30 degrees Celsius.

D. It is dry and warm and there is little wind in the area.

Thousands of people living in the Chinese capital will celebrate the start of the Chinese New year by heading for the ski resorts (滑雪场). 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(热潮).

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 leisure industry in the capital’s suburbs (郊区), 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 $4 million to set up. And as so often in China when someone comes up with a good idea, many others rush 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.

D．A sudden increase of ski training classes in Beijing.

2.Why are some Chinese likely to go skiing in Europe?

A．To visit more ski areas.

B．To ski on natural snow.

C．For a large collection of ski suits.

D．For better services and equipment.

3.The underlined words “leisure industry” in Paragraph 3 refer to ________

A．transport to ski resorts

B．production of family cars

C．business of providing spare time enjoyments

D．part-time work for people living in the suburbs

4.What is the main problem in running a ski resort?

A．Difficulty in hiring land．

B．Lack of business experience．

C．Price wars with other ski resorts

D．Shortage of water and electricity.
