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。
BEIJING, China (CNN) -- Chinese workers and army soldiers were racing to sweep snow-covered highways and unclog railway routes for millions of travelers trapped by cold weather. More than 67 million people have been affected by the weather and economic losses are expected to reach as much as $3 billion, Chinese officials say.
The snowstorms have damaged power lines, houses and farmland, causing fears of food and energy shortages. Twenty-four people have died and some 827,000 people have been evacuated in 14 different provinces, the Ministry of Civil Affairs said Monday.
In the past week, the snowstorms have hit the provinces in central, eastern and southern China.
"We've never seen such a cold weather lasting for such long a time," said Tang Shan, a man in his 70s in Changsha, the capital of Hunan province. "The last time we had one here was over 50 years ago, and not this bad."
The snow and sleet have paralyzed(使瘫痪)roads, railways and airports, leaving tens of millions of travelers marooned, officials say. Many of them are bound for home ahead of the traditional Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, which falls on February 7.
The Lunar New Year travel is China's busiest travel period of the year. But the cold weather is delaying travel plans. In the southern city of Guangzhou, as many as 500,000 train passengers had to stay in the station. About 100,000 packed the square in front of the train station while others found shelter in schools and other public buildings while waiting for their trains.
Chinese premier Wen Jiabao has ordered urgent measures to unclog the transport jam and ensure a steady supply of food and energy.
“Let’s unite as one to fight against the disaster,” he said in an emergency meeting.“Let’s ensure that the people enjoy the Spring Festival.”
But more terrible weather is expected. On Monday China’s Weather Station issued a rare“red alert”warning of more serious snowstorms in the coming days. If so, the number of trapped travelers will surely increase.
1.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The transport jam before the Spring Festival.

d.The snowstorms are expected to come to an end in the following days.
e.Roads, railways and airports were strongly influenced by the snowstorms
A.a,b,c B.b,c,d C.c,d,e D.a,b,e
3.What does the underlined word“unclog”in the first paragraph mean?
A.clear B.clean C.cover D.close
4.The government has taken the following measures except .
A.finding shelter in schools and other public buildings for the passengers

阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
F. Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24, 1896, an American novelist, was once a student of St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short while. In 1917 he joined the army and was posted in Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.
His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary: “My own happiness in the past often approached such joy that I could not share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary. “
This Side of Paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel The Beautiful and Damned(1922), a collection of short stories Tales of the Jazz Age(1922), and a play The Vegetable(1923). But his greatest success was The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quickly brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.
However, Fitzgerald’s problems with his wife Zelda affected his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first breakdown and went to a Swiss clinic. During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934 and The Love of the Last Tycoon in 1940. While his wife was in hospital in the United States, he got totally addicted to alcohol. Sheila Graham, his dear friend, helped him fight his alcoholism.
