　　Water skiing is a sport with many social, economic and health benefits to society．It is unique in that it is a sport where able and disabled persons, and people as young as 5 years and as old as 80 years of age can participate alongside each other．It is a sport that involves more than one person, and is a wonderful family activity that gathers members together for a day of fun at a favorite waterway．

　　Anyone who has put on water skis can attest to its health benefits－it is a sport that demands and develops strength, ability and endurance．The sport includes several disciplines(训练)including slalom, tricks, cable, jump, ski racing, knee-board, wake-board, and barefoot, with each of these practiced for either recreational or competitive enjoyment．

　　Safety Tips For Water-Skiers

　　Don’t take unnecessary risks while water-skiing．The following tips will help you safely enjoy this thrilling sport：

　　ALWAYS have an observer in the boat．This is a legal requirement in many states．The boat driver cannot watch the skier and operate the boat safely at the same time．

　　ALWAYS wear a Coast Guard approved Personal Flotation Device(PFD)designed for water skiing．Ski belts are NOT recommended．Your approved PFD will help keep you afloat．

　　Never ski in rough water．High waves or a choppy sea will prevent the tow boat from maintaining a steady course and speed．

　　NEVER ski after dark．It is dangerous and illegal．Any boat traveling fast enough to tow a skier is traveling too fast to navigate safely at night．

　　NEVER water-ski while under the influence of alcohol or drugs．Such activity is extremely dangerous because of the impairment to your judgment and ability to respond．A recent study conducted with expert skiers who were purposely drunk indicated that even their ability to ski was dramatically reduced．

　　Use hand signals between the skier and observer．Agree before you start what each signal means so there is no confusion at a critical moment．

(1)

Who can accompany you to go water skiing?
[　　]
A．	A pupil in a primary school．
B．	A person who is disabled．
C．	A family member．
D．	All above．

(2)

[　　]
A．	Water skiing helps build up one’s strength．
B．	The disciplines mentioned are only for competitions．
C．	Hand signals should be agreed on between skiers．
D．	Rough water makes the tow boat less steady．

(3)

Which of the following is against law while doing water skiing?
[　　]
A．	An observer doesn’t watch the skier．
B．	A skier doesn’t fasten his safe belt．
C．	Go skiing at midnight．
D．	To go skiing after drinking wine．

(4)

The purpose of writing the article is to ________．
[　　]
A．	warn people of danger of going skiing
B．	tell how to enjoy water skiing properly and safely
C．	tell people, both young and old, to learn to go skiing
D．	tell people not go skiing after drinking too much wine

答案：1．D;2．B;3．C;4．B;
解析：

(1)	根据第一段中的“where able and disabled persons, and people as young as 5 years and as old as 80 years of age can participate alongside each other．”可以确定A、B、C三个选项所列出的三种人都可以和你一起去water skiing。
(2)	第二段最后一句“…with each of these practiced for either recreational or competitive enjoyment．”说明B项陈述错误。第二段第一句说明A项正确，最后一段说明C项正确，倒数第四段说明D项正确。
(3)	根据倒数第三段中“NEVER ski after dark．It is dangerous and illegal．”一句可知，illegal意为“不合法的”，A项是在做此运动时对observer的要求。B、C虽然是不好的做法，但文章并没有说违法。
(4)	A项不能体现作者的全部意图，从第三段开始作者向读者陈述危险隐患，所以也不能作为作者写这篇文章的目的；至于C项，根据第一段作者介绍可知这项运动可以让任何人参与，并非动员参加。D项是最后一段的细节，不能作为全文的写作目的。B项中的properly and safely涵盖了其他三个选项中作者提出做此运动的建议和要求，因此选项B最为合适。

　　While Thais and Cambodians share the same branch of Buddhism(佛教), many linguistic(语言的)and cultural traits(特点), the neighbours have had many slight quarrels over the countries, many of which were lined to the Angkor Wat temple．

　　For 500 years, from the early ninth century, Angkor Wat, was the capital of Khmer(Cambodian)Empire that stretched over much of modern Indo-China．The Thais captured it in 1431 and Cambodia became a battleground sandwiched(夹入中间)between Siam, as Thailand was called, and Vietnam．

　　During the rule of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia in 1975-1979, and after its overthrow, there was little formal contact between the countries．
