摘要：7．What is the purpose of writing this text? A．To introduce the geography of Torquay to students. B．To make some places known to visitors. C．To show the beauty of resorts. D．To attract more tourists. C It seems that the Englishman just cannot live without sports of some kind. A famous French humourist once said that this is because the English insist on behaving like children all their lives. Wherever you go in this country you will see both children and grown-ups knocking a ball about with a stick or something, as if in Britain men shall always remain boys and women girls! Still, it can never be bad to get exercise, can it? Taking all amateurand professional sports in Britain into consideration, there can be no doubt that football is at the top of the list. It is called soccer in the United States. The game originated in Britain and was played in the Middle Ages or even earlier, though as an organized game, or“association football , it dates only from the beginning of the 19th century. The next is rugby, which is called“football in the United States. It is a kind of football played by two teams of fifteen players rather than eleven. In rugby, an oval-shaped ball is used which can be handled as well as kicked. It is a pretty rough game. In summer, cricket is the most popular sport. In fact, it has sometimes been called the English national game. Most foreigners find the game rather slow or even boring, but it enjoys great popularity among the British. Tennis rates high on the list, too. It was introduced into England from France in the 15th century, but it was from England that it spread to practically every country in the world. Table-tennis, or“ping-pong ,surely is not played on a great scale as it is in China or Japan. Basketball and volleyball were introduced into Britain during the late 19th century from America and are gaining popularity. Horse-back riding, swimming, rowing and golf all attract a lot of people.

　　Situated in the South West of England, between Exeter and Plymouth, Torquay is one of the most popular holiday resorts in Britain．It provides a variety of entertainment, sports of every kind and cultural facilities, all set in a position of outstanding natural beauty．Visitors can choose between luxury hotels by the sea, with private suites(套房), swimming pools and saunas, and comfortable but less expensive guest houses．There are camping sites, too, and hundreds of houses displaying“B＆B”signs．

　　As well as a number of small quiet bays, which are ideal for beach barbecues away from the crowds, Torquay has large sandy beaches where you can buy refreshments(饮料)and hire deck chairs, boats and even beach huts．There are large areas of grassland overlooking the sea, and miles of winding cliff paths for walkers who just want to enjoy the scenery and what is often said to be the healthiest air in the country．For the sportsmen and women there are opportunities not only for golf, tennis, squash and bowls, but also for water-skiing, hang-gliding and deep-sea fishing．

　　After a day in the open air, there's lots to do in the evenings, too．There are plenty of discos, the occasional opera or ballet, and summer variety shows in the seafront theatres．For the children, there is a beautiful model village with a complicated railway layout which is remarkably realistic-especially when the lights are all on at night．

　　Of course, there's no need to spend your whole holidays in Torquay．Only a short drive away is Dartmoor National Park, where you can walk for miles through dramatic, unspoiled countryside, or picnic by beautiful rivers and streams．Or, nearer to home, you can sail across Tor Bay to the lovely old fishing village of Brixham．

　　Torquay seems to have something for everyone．But don't take my word for it－come and see for yourself．

　　The following conversation is between Susan Russell-Robinson from the US Geological(地质学的)Survey and Barbara Reynolds from USA Today．

　　Q：Why, after 600 years of no activity, did Mount Pinatubo in Philippines erupt(喷发)in 1991?

　　A：Volcanoes(火山)each have their own eruption styles．This volcano probably has a rule which makes it erupt in the order of every 500 to 1000 years, but a volcano in Hawaii seems to erupt every year, and some of the Alaskan volcanoes might erupt every 10 or 20 years．

　　Q：So nothing caused it?

　　A：There’s nothing out of the ordinary．If you were to take an ordinary calendar year, 50 to 75 or 80 volcanoes erupt around the world every year．There are 20 to 30 volcanoes every month that show signs of unrest．That might be a full-blown eruption or a whole host of activities like that．

　　Q：What is “the ring of fire”?

　　A：If you look at where active volcanoes are placed around the world, there are somewhere between 500 and 600 of them．There is what appears to be almost a necklace that goes around the Pacific Ocean．It makes a ring where 60％ of the world’s volcanoes lie．

　　Q：Why such a concentration(集中)there?

　　A：That’s based on a theory that the oceans and the continents are like separate pieces．When continents and when that happens it seems to produce magma(熔岩)at depth and then you have volcanoes in the same ring．

(1)

An interview published in the press．

C．

A conversation carried out in a film．

A．

The movement of the surface of the earth makes it possible．

B．

The Pacific Ocean produces magma and presses it everywhere．

C．

D．

The earth’s surface around the Pacific is thinner than any other part．

[　　]

A．

B．

to learn what signs a volcano gives us before its eruption
