“It’s always difficult to predict,” said FIFA marketing director Thierry Weil. “But I truly believe that it will be more similar to what happened in Germany than in South Africa in 2010.” According to FIFA, the 2006 World Cup was attended by more than 3.3 million fans.

The tournament begins on 12th June, with Brazil playing the opener in Sao Paulo．

【題目】A dense wave of smog began in the Chinese city of Harbin and the surrounding Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning Provinces on 20 October 2013. Unseasonably warm temperatures with very little wind across northeastern China coincided with the smoke from local farmers’ burning straws and the start-up of Harbin’s coal-powered central heating system．
Record densities of fine particulates（微粒）were measured in the city. In Harbin, the levels of PM2.5 （particulate matter） rise to 1,000 micrograms per cubic meter, worse than Beijing’s historic highs．Visibility was reduced to below 50m in parts of Harbin, and below 500m in most of the neighbouring Jilin Province. On Fa Yuen Street in Harbin, visibility of less than 5m was reported. The smog reduced after October 23, 2013 and completely broke up on October 28, 2013 by the first local snow and icy rain due to a cold front moving in from Russia．
Harbin lies in the north of China where winter temperatures can drop to -40℃, demanding a six-month heating season. Daily particulate levels of more than 40 times the World Health Organization recommended maximum level were reported in parts of Harbin. The smog remained till 23 October, when almost all monitoring stations in Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning Provinces reported readings above 200μg/mfor PM2.5. PM 2.5 is the amount of particulate matter less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter in the air, with the WHO recommending a maximum 24-hour mean （平均值） of 25 micrograms per cubic meter （μg/m）．On the morning of 25 October, PM2.5 measurements in Harbin had fallen to an average of 123μg/m.
All highways in the surrounding Heilongjiang Province were closed. In Harbin, all primary and middle schools were closed for three days and authorities stopped flights at the airports. Hospitals reported a 23 percent increase in admissions for breathing problems. However, this smog will have no influence on Harbin Ice Festival events later in December 2013.
Air pollution in Chinese cities is of increasing concern to China’s leadership. Particulates in the air can affect human health and also have influences on climate and rainfall. Pollution from the burning of coal has reduced life expectancy by 5．5 years in the north of China, as a result of heart and lung diseases.
【1】One cause of the heavy smog in the northeastern Chinese cities may be _____．
A．the lasting cold weather
B．farmers’ burning of forests
C．too much strong wind
D．the start-up of heating system
【2】One serious influence of the heavy smog was that_____．
A．Harbin Ice Festival would be cancelled
B．highways in Heilongjiang were free of charge
C．a(chǎn)ll flights at the airport were cancelled
D．doctors in hospitals were kept from working
【3】The harmful smog was most serious on ______．
A．October 20 B．October 23
C．October 25 D．October 28
【4】What measure might be practical to reduce the happening of heavy smog?
A．Forbidding people to own their private cars．
B．Advocating people having one meal a day．
C．Using natural gas to cook instead of coal．
D．Encouraging family’s coal-fired heating．

【題目】Canadian short story writer Alice Munro won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Eighty-two-year-old Munro is only the 13th woman to win the 112-year-old prize．
Munro didn’t publish her first collection of short stories until she was 37 years old, but her stories have always been well-received. Lots of her stories share similar themes and characters, but each story has its own twists and turns．
Even though she’s won Canada’s most famous literary award, the Giller Prize, twice, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature is the cherry on top of Munro’s career. “It brings this incredible recognition, both of her and her career, and of the dedication to the short story,” said one person．
Along with the well-respected title comes 1．3 million dollars．Munro said everything was “so surprising and wonderful” and that she was “dazed by all the attention and affection that has been coming my way．”
Munro knew she was in the running-she was named the second-most likely person to win this year’s prize, after Haruki Murakami（村上春樹）of Japan-but she never thought that she would win．
Munro’s win also represents the long way Canadian writers have come．“When I began writing there was a very small community of Canadian writers and little attention was paid by the world．Now Canadian writers are read, admired and respected around the globe,” Munro said on Thursday．
She is technically not the first Canadian to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, but many like to think that she is．In 1976 Saul Bellow, who was born in Quebec but moved to Chicago when he was still a child, won the prize．Even though he was born in Canada, he is mostly considered to be an American writer．
“This is a win for us all．Canadians, by our very nature, are not very nationalistic,” said Geoffrey Taylor．“But things like this suddenly make you want to find a flag．”
She wasn’t sure if she would keep writing if she won the prize, saying that it would be “nice to go out with a bang．But this may change my mind．”
【1】What is the feature of Munro’s stories?
A．They have their own complicated （復(fù)雜的）contents．
B．They have similar story backgrounds．
C．They have specific themes for children．
D．They have the same characters in each book．
【2】For Munro, the Nobel Prize is an award for______．
A．her love for Canadian culture
B．her devotion to the short story
C．her special form of writing
D．her career of editing short stories
【3】What is implied in the sixth paragraph?
A．Canadian writers paid little attention to the prize．
B．Canadian writers are just a small community．
C．Canadian writers have long been ignored．
D．Canadians have a long way to win the prize．
【4】What does the passage mainly tell us?
A．How Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize
B．An introduction to the Nobel Prize in Literature
C．Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize in Literature
D．A world famous writer, Alice Munro
