科目：高中英语 来源：四川省棠湖中学2010届高三考前适应训练英语试题 题型：阅读理解

Consulates (领事馆) exist to help citizens abroad to help themselves. Every year millions of people go abroad for pleasure or profit (利润). There are consular officers ready to do what they can to help if people get into difficulties, but for all sorts of reasons there are limits to what they can do. Most times things go well for travelers abroad but occasionally things go wrong.
So, whether you are an experienced traveler or a first timer, going by yourself, with the family or a group there are things you should do before you go. Think about money and tickets well in advance. Take enough money including enough to pay your return fare, and hold on to it. Better still, buy return tickets in the first place. In an emergency a consul (领事) will contact relatives or friends and ask them to help you with money or tickets. But there's no law that says a consul has to lend you money and if he eventually does (and it will have to be repaid) he will want to be satisfied first that you really do have no money and there is no one else you know who can help.
It is also important to take out proper insurance (保险) for everything from car breakdowns to loss of life. A consul cannot pay your medical or any other bills, nor can he do the work of local travel representatives or motoring organizations.
1．What is the author trying to do in the textm
A．To inform people about laws abroad.      B．To describe an international problem.
C．To explain how to visit a consulate.       D．To give advice about consulates
2．Why would somebody read the text?
A．To know how to contact a consul.      B．To find out how to make a complaint (抱怨).
C．To know when to contact a consul.     D．To find out where a consul lives.
3．You can borrow money from a consul if you
A．need to stay abroad longer.            B．have to help a relative
C．have no other financial (资金) means    D．need to have your car repaired
4．Which of the following notices would you see in Consular Office?
A． CONSULAR OFFICE
In an emergency you may contact your consul. He may give you advice but you should not rely on being given financial help.
B．CONSULAR OFFICE
In an emergency you may contact this office. Your consul can always help with hospital and dental costs.

Edward Snowden—the fugitive （逃亡者） former U．S．intelligence employee —appears to be stuck in Moscow, unable to leave without a valid American passport, according to interviews Sunday with two men who had sought to aid him: WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange and Ecuadoran President Rafael Correa．

Snowden, 30, arrived at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo International Airport last weekend, after previously taking refuge in Hong Kong． Moscow was only supposed to be a stopover．WikiLeaks, the anti-secrecy organization, had said Snowden was headed on to Ecuador—whose president has been critical of the United States — and that he would seek asylum there．

Now, however, both men said Snowden is unable to leave．

"The United States, by canceling his passport, has left him for the moment trapped in Russia," said Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, on ABC ' s " This Week With George Stephanopoulos"． The United States canceled Snowden' s passport last weekend． Assange criticized the United States, saying: " To take a passport from a young man in a difficult situation like that is a disgusting action．"

President Correa spoke to the Associated Press in Puerto Viejo, Ecuador． For now, he told the AP, Snowden was "under the care of the Russian authorities． "

"This is the decision of Russian authorities． He doesn't have a passport． I don't know the Russian laws, I don' t know if he can leave the airport, but I understand that he can' t," Correa said． He said that the case was now out of Ecuador' s hands． "If Snowden arrives at an Ecuadoran Embassy, we' 11 analyze his request for asylum．"

Snowden traveled from Hong Kong to Moscow on his U．S．passport． Although the U．S．had already revoked it, Hong Kong authorities said they hadn’t received the official request to cancel the passport before Snowden left．

An official at the Ecuadoran Embassy in London had also issued a letter of safe passage for Snowden． But Snowden apparently did not use it for his trip to Moscow．

And it doesn’t appear that the Ecuadoran government would make a similar gesture again．

On Sunday, Correa told the AP that an Ecuadoran official at that embassy had committed "a serious error" by issuing the first letter without consulting officials back home． Correa said the consul would be punished, although he didn’t specify how．

Correa' s tone seemed to have shifted after a conversation with Vice President Biden on Friday．Where Correa had earlier been aggressive and determined, he now voiced respect for U．S．legal procedures．

1.Edward Snowden is a person who once worked in a federal department ______．

A．to assist the governor of one state

B．to collect information secretly for the US

C．to organize overseas promotion campaign

D．to educate intelligence employees

2.Which of the following word can take the place of the underlined word in Para．2 ?

A．shelter． B．praise． C．position． D．forgiveness．

3.By what means did Edward Snowden leave Hong Kong for Moscow' s Sheremetyevo International Airport?

A．A letter of safe passage from the Ecuadoran Embassy．

B．Permission from Chinese government

C．Invitation of the Russian authorities．

D．An American passport．

4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．Edward Snowden will live in Moscow forever．

B．Ecuadoran government will provide Edward Snowden protection．

C．Through U．S．legal procedures Edward Snowden has been caught．

D．Correa hesitated to assist Edward Snowden．
