Vail Marriott Mountain Resort
Vail Winter Weather Guide
Covered in grand mountains，flashing lights and snowy pines, Vail is perfect for explorers and people who love adventures alike. Whether skiing down the slopes for the first time or the hundredth, this guide will ensure that you're ready for everything this city has to offer.
Best Time to Vacation
December through to March tends to be the best time for those interested in skiing down the slopes in style.
Know Before You Go
Make the necessary preparations and reservations in advance：
• Ski and Snowboard Rentals（租赁）：Don't have your own equipment! Vail Sports rents out a variety of skis and snowboards for all ages and abilities, as well as snow shoes and helmets.
• Clothing Rentals：For those not interested in purchasing hundreds of dollars of ski clothing for one vacation. Mountain Threads has a rental program just for you, where you can get mountain necessities like coats, pants and goggles（护目镜）.
• Suncream：You might not think about getting sunburn, but it happens to skiers and snowboarders every day.
• Difficulty levels：It's important to know what level you're at before jumping on a ski lift and heading up the mountain. Use a free trail map and plan the slopes you're going to ski down ahead of time based on the following levels you'll find up the mountain：
• Green Circle：These are the easiest slopes.
• Blue Square：These indicate average to medium levels.
• Black Diamond：The most advanced slopes. Some mountains will feature double black diamonds, indicating even higher difficulty.

Life in the Internet age is lonely—or is it? That’s what experts in human interaction are debating after a new Stanford University survey has been published.
According to the study, the more time people spend online, the less they can spare for real-life relationships with family and friends. The researchers asked 113 people about the Web’s influence on daily activities. 36％of those people are online for more than five hours a week.” As Internet use becomes more widespread, it will have an increasingly isolating (孤立的) effect on society,” says Robert Kraut, one of the researchers.
Scholars and Web lovers criticized the study for stretching its data to make the “isolating” point. While 13％of regular Web users admitted the loss of time with loved ones, 60％reported watching less TV. The survey also shows that E-mail is the most popular online activity. If some of webheads (网虫)spend what was once passive TV time keeping company with friends via E-mails, “that’s a move toward greater connectedness,” says Paul Resnick, a professor at the University of Michigan.
Thisisn’t the first claim that the Web should be criticized. A 1998 report monitored 73 Pittsburgh-area families’ Net use for a year. People who used the Internet more “talked less to family members and reported being lonelier and more depressed.” says Robert Kraut.
“It’s true that there have been big declines in social connectedness over the past decades, but those declines began before the Internet was invented,” says Thomas Putnam.
As Amitay Etzioni says, the Internet gives us a different kind of social life—not better or worse than before, but just different.
4. Who claimed that the Web had negative influence?
A. Paul Resnick.
B. Robert Kraut.
C. Thomas Putnam.
D. Amitay Etzioni.
5. The underlined word “This” in Para.4 refers to .
A. the opinion expressed in Bowling Alone
B. the survey made by the University of Michigan
C. the conclusion in a report written in 1998
D. the study conducted by Stanford University
6. From the passage we learn that .
A. watching TV used to take time away from staying online
B. the Web was blamed more than once for causing an isolating effect
C. 36％ofweb users spend more than five hours a week online
D. the Web has the same influence as telephones and televisions
7. The passage mainly discusses .
A. how we can make a better use of the Internet
B. how declines in social connectedness appear
C. whether the Internet causes an isolating effect
D. what a different life the Internet brings to us
C
Alaska—The American city Anchorage is recovering from a powerful earthquake Friday that damaged public buildings, homes and roads.
The 7.0 earthquake caused buildings to slake. But there have been no reports of deaths, serious injuries or damage. Officials say the quake has not affected transportation of food and her supplies. “The ships are coming in on schedule, the supply lines are at this point working well,” the government told reporters Sunday.
The Glenn Highway was probably the road hit hardest by the earthquake. It connects the state's largest city to other parts in the north. Traffic has been heavy and slow—moving since the quake. Drivers are being guided. Groups of workers are trying to rebuild areas where the quake left large holes in the road.
People who are still nervous after the major quake have been more upset by more than 1, 700 aftershocks. “Anything that moves, you feel terrified”said David, whose home suffered structural(结构)damage, including a sunken foundation(地基). Actually, Alaska came up with strict building rules after a 9. 2 earthquake in 1964. That
was the second most powerful earthquake on record.
Government officials said a public health center promises that moneyfor medical treatment will continue to come. Mental healthy service(心理健康服务)is also available for people hurt by the disaster.
Earthquake experts say there is a 4 percent chance of another 7. 0 earthquake or greater in the following week. "The chance is very small, but its not impossible, ” said the expert, Paul Caruso.
8. What was the result of the earthquake?
A. Buildings were damaged.
B. Food supply was cut off.
C. Many people were killed
D. The ships could not come in.
9. Why is the traffic slow on the Glenn Highway?
A. Because small quakes hit the city.
B. Because falling rocks are a danger.
C. Because the highway is badly damaged.
D. Because drivers are misled.
10. What can you learn from Paul Caruso?
A. Another greater earthquake is on the way.
B. Chances still exists of another earthquake.
C. It will be safe in the 1th week after the quake.
D. There is no possibility for more quakes.
11. Where can your possibly read the passage?

Ancient Dunhuang manuscripts housed abroad have been edited and published by the Institute for Overseas National Literature of Northwest Minzu University since 2006. Up till now, 9 manuscripts kept in the British Library and22 inthe National Library of France have been finished, the institute said on April 24, 2018.
Tens of thousands of valuable ancient documents and cultural relics, discovered in the Mogao Grottos in Dunhuang, Gansu province, were scattered overseas in the early 20th century. Dunhuang manuscripts currently in the British Library and the National Library of France are the most important ancient national documents housed abroad.
Co-edited by Institute for Overseas National Literature of Northwest Minzu University, Shanghai Classics Publishing House, the British Library and the National Library of France, these Dunhuang manuscripts return home in publication form for the first time. The institute is also preparing an online database of the manuscripts.

It plans to publish 15 from the British Library and over 30 from the National Library of France all together. In addition, it will also publish manuscripts collected by other countries.
“Some manuscripts are hard to read because of the indecipherable words. So we read carefully and understand them by comparing with Buddhism documents handed down from ancient times,” Cai said. “Next, document classification and compilation will be our key work for further research.”
The work done by the institute is helpful to study the history and culture of Tubo(present-day Tibet) during the period of 8th to 11th century and the history of national cultural exchanges at that time.
12. When did so many valuable ancient documents, discovered in the Mogao Grottos, were scattered overseas?

A. the scientific study of language
B. the opinion that people have about someone or something
