B Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland, and has long been a favorite destination of tourists from all over the world, as well as an important cultural and political center．

With its museums, shops, wonderful historic castle, and many pubs and restaurants, there are many things for visitors to enjoy all year round．And of course, as it is in Scotland, there are a wide range of whiskies to try!

However, there is more to Edinburgh than historic monuments and tourism．Each year, the Edinburgh Festival takes place in the city．In late summer, for three weeks, the festival presents classical music, theater, opera and dance at six major theaters and concert halls—and several smaller ones—throughout the city．Whatever your cultural tastes, you are sure to find something to enjoy．、

Local talent is always represented at the Edinburgh Festival giving Scottish composers and playwrights the opportunity to showcase their work and gain recognition from a wider audience．

In addition, orchestras (管弦乐队) and theater companies come from all over the world to perform at the prestigious (有名望的) festival．Last year saw the arrival of orchestras from the United States and Germany．

The festival has now become an important part of Scotland’s economy as well as its culture．Last year’s festival generated over ￡130 million expenditure in Edinburgh alone, and across Scotland nearly 2,900 jobs exist as a direct result of the festival．

The festival is so popular that it has become, in some ways, a victim of its own success．The huge interest in performing there led to the setting up of a rival (竞争的) festival, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival．Fortunately, demand for live entertainment during the summer is so great that both festivals continue to thrive (兴旺)．

The Fringe tends to feature mostly comedy and experimental works．Yet it can lead to great things ---- many famous and successful comedians and artists, such as Rowan Atkinson, better known as TV’s Mr．Bean, started their careers in small venues at the Fringe．

1.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A．The festival is economically important for Scotland．

B．Many people in Scotland rely on the festival for their jobs．

C．Local performers challenge bands from all over the world．

D．One is sure to find something to enjoy during the festival．

2.What does the underlined part “a victim of its own success” most probably mean?

A．A prestigious band for its successful performance．

B．An unsuccessful performance without good preparation．

C．An orchestra from another country performing in Edinburgh．

D．A festival that causes trouble for itself because of great success．

3.What we can learn from the passage is that ________．

A．the Edinburgh Festival attracts audience across the world

B．both festivals win good recognition from a wide audience

C．the Fringe was set up in the hope of accepting the challenge

D．many comedians and artists took off overnight at the Fringe

4.Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?

The British have many traditions but there is nothing more quintessential (典型的) than taking afternoon tea. We know the Brits have a love affair with drinking tea, 1. more than 160 million cups drunk every day, but it was the invention of afternoon tea that turned tea-drink into 2. popular pastime.

This sociable feast involves drinking good quality tea 3. (comfort) while nibbling (小口吃) on nice sandwiches, scones with jam and cream and a selection of small cakes. And, of course, it can only happen in the afternoon! Afternoon tea, which 4. (design) as a light snack to bridge the gap between lunch and dinner, dates back to the 1840s. It went on to become a 5. (fashion) social occasion for the upper classes.

Now there is a resurgence (复苏) in its 6. (popular) in the UK and it is available to anyone who can afford it. 7. it can be enjoyed at home, the best way to experience it is at a smart hotel or café. But if you’re thinking of visiting such a place 8. (enjoy) a plate of sweet and savory treats with a steaming hot brew, remember the rules you must follow to avoid 9. (ask) to leave.

Writer Henry James once noted that “there are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.” I’m sure once you 10. (try) it, you will agree.

A recent study, while showing a generally positive attitude toward science, also suggests a widespread worry that it may be “running out of control”. This idea is dangerous.

Science can be a force for evil as well as for good. Its applications can be channeled either way, depending on our decisions. The decisions we make, personally or collectively, will determine the outcomes of science. But here is a real danger. Science is advancing so fast and is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference. And, rather than fighting for the best possible policies, we may step back and do nothing.

Some people go even further. They say that despite the moral and legal objections(反对), whatever is scientifically possible will be done-somewhere, sometime. They believe that science will get out of control in the end. This belief is dangerous too, because it fuels a sense of hopelessness and discourages them from making efforts to build a safer world.

In our interconnected world, the lack of agreement in and out of the world of science can lead to the failure to control the use of science. Without a common understanding, the challenges of “controlling” science in this century will be really tough. Take human cloning for example. Despite the general agreement among scientists on its possible huge impact(影响) on traditional moral values, some countries still go ahead with the research and development of its related techniques. The outcomes are hard to predict.

Therefore, discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies. Only through the united efforts of people with hope, can we be fully safe against the misuse of science and can science best serve mankind in the future.

1.What can we conclude from the recent study?

A. People think highly of science.

B. Science is getting dangerously out of control.

C. People hold mixed opinions about science.

D. Science is used for both good and bad purposes.

2.According to the passage, what will happen if we hold that science is getting beyond control?

A. The development of science will hopelessly slow down.

B. The public will lose faith in bringing about a bright future.

C. Businesses will have even greater influence on science.

D. People will work more actively to put science under control.

3.The discussion should reach beyond scientific societies because_______

A. scientists have failed to predict the outcomes

B. the ties between different areas need strengthening

C. united efforts are necessary for the development of science

D. people need to work together to prevent the bad use of science

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Science and its applications bring us many dangers.

B. Mankind can largely take control of science with their efforts.

C. The future of science will be influenced by the dangerous ideas.

D. The development of science mostly lies in people's attitudes.
