）四、阅读理解：（本题共20分，每小题2分）Passage1A growing number of these attractions now allow customers to print e-tickets at home with large discounts off the gate price, in part to spur attendance that has declined in recent years.After boom times in the late 1990s, theme park attendance began to decrease, with an overall decline of about 4% over the past few y ears at North America’s 50 most- visited establishments, says James Zola, editor of Amusement Business. “The bloom was off the rose as we turned the corner into 2000, so there’s more discounting now,” he says.Discounting isn’t new to an industry tha t has long partnered with other commercial enterprises, such as soft drink companies, to offer deals. Print e-ticketing adds a new opportunity that not only brings savings but convenience as well, since it allows visitors to avoid the line at the gate.“If you can get in early before the lines fill up, you're getting more for your money,” says Robert Niles of the website Theme Park Insider.1.

In the British isles the temperature climbed through the eighties, into the nineties, andmoved towards the hundred mark. People complained, but there was no serious disaster.The death number in the U. S. remained quite small, thanks largely to the air-conditioning units that had been fitted during previous years and months. Temperatures rose to the limit of human endurance throughout the whole country and people were obliged to remain indoors for weeks onend.Occasionally air-conditioning units failed and it was then that fatalities occurred.Conditions were utterly desperate throughout the tropics as may be judged from the fact that 7943 species of plants and animals became totally extinct. The survival of Man himself was only possible because of the caves and cellars he was able to dig. Nothing could be done to reduce the hot air temperature. More than seven hundred million persons are known to have lost their lives.Eventually the temperature of the surface waters of the sea rose, not so fast as the air temperature it is true, but fast enough to produce a dangerous increase of humidity. It was indeed this increase that produced the disastrous conditions just remarked. Millions of people between the latitudes of Cairo and the Cape of Good Hope were subjected to a choking atmosphere that grew damper and hotter from day to day. All human movement ceased. There was nothing to be done but to lie breathing quickly as a dog does in hot weather.By the fourth week of July conditions in the tropics lay balanced between life and total death. Then quite suddenly rain clouds appeared over the whole globe. The temperature declined a little, due no doubt to the clouds reflecting more of the Sun’s radiation back into space, But conditions could not be said to have improved. Warm rain fell everywhere, even as far north as Iceland. The insect population increased enormously, since the burning hot atmosphere was as favorable to them as it was unfavorable to Man many other animals.6. In the British Isles the temperature C.A stayed at eightyB ranged from eighty to ninetyC approached one hundredD exceeded the hundred mark7. Few people in the United States lost their lives because D.A the temperature was tolerableB people remained indoors for weeksC the government had taken effective measures to reduce the hot temperatureD people were provided with the most comfortable air-conditioners8. Millions of people in Cairo and the Cape of Good Hope were subjected to a choking atmosphere because B.A the temperature grew extremely hotB the temperature became damper and hotter as the humidity of the surface waters of the sea increasedC their conditions were too dangerousD nothing could be done with the hot temperature9. By the fourth week of July conditions in the tropics were such that D.A human survival would be impossibleB more and more people would lose their livesC fewer people could be savedD survival or death was still undecided10. The insect population increased due to A.A the hot airB the tropical climateC the rain cloudsD the damp atmosphere（评分标准：每小题中与答案一致得2分；否则得0分。
