Prague is an ancient European city, featuring one of the most magnificent Old Towns in Europe, along with delicious food, inexpensive shopping and friendly people. Prague is also famous as being home to one of the most famous 20th century writers, Franz Kafka. The famous Czech beer is also one of the reasons to visit Prague.

The narrow streets of the older parts of the town are appealing the visitors to take nice long walk and settle in some of the many restaurants, which offer top-quality foods at a low price. The buildings there are mostly tower-shaped,and so Prague is called “city of a hundred spires.”

Mauritius

Also known as the Paradise on Earth, Mauritius lies about 560 miles (900 km) east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. It is a place of magnificent natural beauty coupled with excellent customer service, which makes for an unforgettable romantic experience at the edge of the world’s warmest ocean.

There are lots to see and do in Mauritius: the coral reefs (珊瑚礁) surrounding the island offer stunning beauty and great underwater adventures to those who want to dive into the precious waters. The nature of Mauritius mostly resembles that of Paradise, allowing every couple visiting this island to feel like Adam and Eve. That is an experience nobody would want to miss!

Cyprus

The very name Cyprus, it has been said, glitters with an age-old myth. Today, history and hedonism (快乐论) are comfortably mixed on the island. Some five-star resorts within walking distance of well-preserved Greek and Roman ruins offer the convenience the modern traveler has come to expect.

Cyprus features a romantic history, as it was Anthony’s gift to his beloved Cleopatra during the glorious days of the Roman Empire. Maybe that is why you feel always a little special once you set foot on Cyprus.

D

There are three separate sources of danger in supplying energy by nuclear power (原子能)

    First, the radioactive material must travel from its place of production to the power station. Although the power stations themselves are strongly built, the containers used for the transport of the materials are not. Normally, only two methods of transport are in use, namely road or rail. Unfortunately, both of these may have an effect on the general public, since they are sure to pass near, or even through, heavily populated areas.

   Second, there is the problem of waste. All nuclear power stations produce wastes that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands of years. It is impossible to make these wastes non-radioactive, and so they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented. For example, they may be buried under the ground, or dropped into deserted mines, or sunk in the sea. However, these methods do not solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily break the containers.

   Third, there may occur the danger of a leak(泄漏) or an explosion at the power station. As with the other two dangers, this is not very likely, so it does not provide a serious objection to the nuclear program. However, it can happen.

   Separately, these three types of dangers are not a great cause for worry. Taken together, though, the probability of disaster(灾难) is extremely high.

71. Which of the following is FALSE?

   A. It is possible that a leak or an explosion occurs at a power station.

   B. It is unusual for radioactive materials to be transported across land.

   C. The containers are likely to be broken by an earthquake.

   D. Nuclear wastes remain dangerous in most cases for many years.

72. The author thinks that the ways to store nuclear wastes are ___ .

   A. easy      B. impossible        C. reasonable      D. ineffective

73. What do we learn from the last paragraph?

   A. The power station is a safe place.

   B. The dangers of nuclear energy can be prevented.

   C. The general public are strongly against the nuclear program.

   D. By itself, none of the three dangers is very likely to cause much worry.

74. What is this passage about?

A.Uses of nuclear power.                B.Dangers from nuclear power.

C.Public anger at nuclear power.          D.Accidents caused by nuclear power.

75. As for the possible dangers of nuclear power, ______.

   A. none of them can be completely avoided

   B. effective measures have been taken to avoid them

   C. man will never be able to do anything about them

   D. one is usually the cause of another
