    NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A line of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes marched across the South on Friday, peeling away roofs, overturning cars and killing at least 11 people in Tennessee, officials said.
    It was the second wave of violent weather to hit the state in less than a week. Last weekend, tornadoes killed 24 people in the western part of the state and destroyed more than 1,000 homes and buildings.
    The storms crossed an area from northern Mississippi to northern Virginia as they moved to the northeast late Friday after developing from a low-pressure system in the central Plains.
    The Nashville suburbs were the hardest hit, with at least eight deaths happening northeast of the city. Three more people were killed in a rural area about 65 miles southeast of Nashville.
    Tornadoes were also reported in some other places. The storms pulled up trees, knocked down power lines and damaged buildings. What’s worse, phone lines and most businesses were out of service. Hospitals admitted at least 60 people with storm-related injuries and transferred at least nine badly injured patients to Nashville hospitals.
    In southern Indiana, the storms damaged some areas with golf ball-sized hail. High winds blew the roof off a country club and overthrew a semitrailer（拖车）. As the storms moved farther east, parts of West Virginia were lashed with heavy rain and winds, great damages caused.
    The number of tornadoes in the US has jumped through the first part of 2006 compared with the past few years. Through the end of March, an estimated 286 tornadoes had hit the US, compared with an average of 70 for the same three-month period in each of the past three years.
    The number of tornado-related deaths was 38 before Friday's storms. The average number of deaths from 2003 to 2005 was 45 a year, the prediction center said.

    BEIJING — The rescue operations at a coal mine accident have ended with 105 miners dead. The State Council has organized an investigation team to probe (调查) into what caused the disaster in the city of Linfen, North China’s Shanxi Province. Preliminary（初步的） investigations show the illegal mining of an unauthorized seam（未经授权的煤层）, and the number of miners who had been sent down the shaft far exceeded its capacity.
    This mine was found to have long ignored the rules to steal state coal, and did not have a list of miners employed to check the number of miners missing after the accident.
    How did such a coal mine get all the necessary licenses for production? How did it pass the three safety inspections the local government organized last month?
    In response to this disaster, the Shanxi governor promised to set up hotlines for people to report illegal coal mines and rewards as high as 100,000 yuan for tip-offs.
    We appreciate the action this governor has taken to solving the coal mining problems, and we believe that the reporting scheme will help to stop the existence of illegal coal mines.
    But at the same time we have reason to question how governments at various levels supervise these mines.
    The sad fact that such a mine with serious safety problems could pass three consecutive (连续的)local government safety inspections in a month is enough to tell us how ineffective the safety inspections were.
    What if these inspections were just a formality(形式)? What if the inspectors were bribed by the mine owners to turn a blind eye to the safety dangers? We can well imagine what would happen if reports about mine problems were handled by such officials.
    So a thorough probe must find out who are responsible for the death of so many miners. A real safety inspection and management system must be established to guarantee that safety dangers will be removed
    64. What is NOT one of the causes of this coal mine accident?
    A. The workers didn’t operate properly.
    B. The mine didn’t obey the rules to mine for coal.
    C. A lot more miners than allowed were working under the mine.
    D. The safety inspections were ineffective.
    65. According to the writer, who should be further investigated?
    A. Mine owners and miners.                B. Miners’ families and mine staff.
    C. Government officials and safety inspectors.  D. The Shanxi governor and miners.
    66. What can we infer from the passage?
    A. More than 105 miners died in the disaster.
    B. Some other coal mines like this one exist in Shanxi province.
    C. Safety inspectors just turned a blind eye to hidden dangers.
    D. The three inspections were only a formality.
    67. What does the underlined word “tip-offs” probably mean in Paragraph 4?
    A. Some warnings.             B. Some money for one’s service.
    C. Some secret information.     D. Some pieces of advice.

    第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    On October 16th 1987, southern Britain was hit by a hurricane, the worst storm to hit Britain since 1703.
    Twenty years later, Britain is remembering the disaster known as The Great Storm. 15 million trees across the area were uprooted by the wind, and a wet autumn had made the ground very muddy (泥泞的).
    The falling trees caused damage to buildings and vehicles, and blocked roads and railway lines, forcing everyone, from adults to schoolchildren to stay at home.
    There were also blackouts across the area, as power lines were damaged by falling trees and flying debris (残骸). People used candles and flashlights (手电) for light, and gas stoves and open fires to cook food.
    The storm lasted for 4 hours, and killed 18 lives. The bad weather caused so much damage mostly because of the fact that most people were completely unprepared, and be-cause many weather forecasters didn’t think it could cause a problem.
    Earlier that week, weather forecasts had predicted severe (严重的) weather, but forecasters thought it would miss Britain and only affect the English Channel. A well-known weatherman, Michael Fish, ever said that the storm wouldn’t happen, though in fact he was talking about a hurricane in Florida at that time.
    The unusual storm caused more than ￡1billion in dam-age, and hundreds of people were injured.
    Could the same thing happen today in Britain? Well, as a result of climate change many people think that sudden and severe weather changes are more likely. However, technology has improved, and satellites give us a much more accurate(精确的)picture of future weather. If another Great Storm comes along, the British public will probably be warned earlier and have more time to prepare!
    56. The bad weather in 1987 in Britain caused a lot of damage because ______.
    A. it caused a great flood                    B. most people were not prepared
    C. it happened in the summer                            D. there was no weather forecast
    57. Which of the following was NOT one of the effects of The Great Storm?
    A. There were a number of deaths and injuries.   B. The electricity went out.
    C. It hit Florida first.                                D. Roads and railway lines were blocked.
    58. One week before The Great Storm, weather forecasts ______.
    A. could not predict severe weather at all
    B. had predicted the severe weather, but some weather forecasters thought it would miss Britain
    C. showed that the terrible storm would not hit the English Channel
    D. showed that The Great Storm would affect both England and Florida
    59. We learn from the last paragraph that ______.
    A. this kind of bad weather will not happen in Britain again
    B. bad weather will happen more frequently in Britain now
    C. people will be better prepared if there is bad weather in Britain now
    D. bad weather may be stopped with the development of technology

    HONG KONG-----Hong Kong Disneyland is too crowded,a senior Chinese tourism official said today,hinting that another Disney Park is necessary to accommodate demand from China’s huuge population.
    The comments by Shao Qiwei,director of China’s State Administration of Tourism, came a day after Shanghai’s mayor Han Zheng said the city was preparing to build China’s second Disney theme park.
    “China has a very large population.We now have 1.3 bullion people. The market is very large.As far as I know,Hong Kong Disneyland is now very crowded.”said Shao,whose comments were broadcast on Hong Kong’s Cable TV.
    The Hong Kong theme park,which opened in September,was widely criticized in January when it turned away hundreds of Lunar New Year holiday makers from mainland China because the park was full. Chaos(混乱) erupted when angry crowds tried to force their way into the park.
    The embarrassing incident prompted a public apology from Hong Kong Disneyland Managing Director Bill Ernest and a dressing down from Hong Kong’s leader Donald Tsang.Authorities are carefully studying the issue of overcrowding in preparation for the possible building of the Disney park in Shanghai.Shao said.
    The official Xinhua News Agency reported Tuesday that no agreement has been reached on the park in Shanghai,quoting senior vice president of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, Leslie Goodman. Hong Kong Disneyland is a joint venture between The Walt Disney Co. and the local government, which shouldered the bulk of the park’s construction fees.
