2．Ann started to work last summer.In order to have a holiday，she saved as much as she could and，this January，she booked a package tour to Spain.She left London airport early on the morning of the first Saturday in August.She was very excited，as this was her first trip abroad.When she arrived at Barcelona airport，the weather was beautiful.

3．Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are，like a nearby port or river.People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade.New York City，for example，is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River.Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million.But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time.Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight.In 1896，Dawson，Canada，was unmapped wilderness（荒野）.But gold was discovered there in 1897，and two years later，it was one of the largest cities in the West，with a population of 30，000.
Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris.People went there for gold.They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers.The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming.An avalanche（雪崩）once closed the path，killing 63 people.For many who made it to Dawson，however，the rewards were worth the difficult trip.Of the first 20，000 people who dug for gold，4，000 got rich.About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.
But no matter how rich they were，Dawson was never comfortable.Necessities like food and wood were very expensive.But soon，the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found.The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down，and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska，they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come.Today，people still come and go - to see where the Canadian gold rush happened.Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City - its present population is 762.
（1）What attracted the early settlers to New York City？
A．Its business culture.
B．Its small population.
C．Its geographical position.
D．Its favourable climate.
（2）What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson？
A．Two-thirds of them stayed there.
B．One out of five people got rich.
C．Almost everyone gave up.
D．Half of them died.
（3）What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson？
A．They found the city too crowded.
B．They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.
C．They were unable to stand the winter.
D．They were short of food.
（4）What is the text mainly about？
A．The rise and fall of a city.
B．The gold rush in Canada.
C．Journeys into the wilderness.
D．Tourism in Dawson.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5

9．One weekend in July，Jane and her husband，Tom，had driven three hours to camp overnight by a lake in the forest.Unfortunately，on the way an unpleasant subject came up and they started to quarrel（吵架）.By the time they reached the lake，Jane was so angry that she said to Tom， "I'm going to find a better spot for us to camp" and walked away.
With no path to follow，Jane just walked on for quite a long time.After she had climbed to a high place，she turned around，hoping to see the lake.To her surprise，she saw nothing but forest and，far beyond，a snowcapped（積雪蓋頂?shù)模?mountain top.She suddenly realized that she was lost.
"Tom!" she cried. "Help!"
No reply.If only she had not left her mobile phone in that bag with Tom.Jane kept moving，but the farther she walked，the more confused she became.As night was beginning to fall，Jane was so tired that she had to stop for the night.Lying awake in the dark，Jane wanted very much to be with Tom and her family.She wanted to hold him and tell him how much she loved him.
Jane rose at the break of day，hungry and thirsty.She could hear water trickling（滴落）somewhere at a distance.Quickly she followed the sound to a stream（溪流）.To her great joy，she also saw some berry bujye.ais.She drank and ate a few berries.Never in her life had she tasted anything better.Feeling stronger now，Jane began to walk along the stream and hope it would lead her to the lake.
As she picked her way carefully along the stream，Jane heard a helicopter（直升機）.Is that for me？Unfortunately，the trees made it impossible for people to see her from above.A few minutes later，another helicopter flew overhead.Jane took off her yellow blouse，thinking that she should go to an open area and flag them if they came back again.
