    A city without cars would be very strange, right? But Venice is such a city.

    Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It wasn't built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands.  Seawater is everywhere around the city.

    Even so, travel isn't difficult. The waterways have always been the best way to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go. People in Venice move from place to place by boat. They like to enjoy the scenery and cool summer nights while taking boat trips.  They can talk to other people as they go along.

    Venice grew out of small islands in saltwater lakes when some Italians escaped from a war more than 1,500 years ago, and built homes there.

    Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem.

    Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters. Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years.  This has made the ice of the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋) rnelt( 融化).

    Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is underwater.

    Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower.

    47. Which is the most impossible way for people in Venice to get around in the passage?

    48. Why is Venice still getting lower and lower?

    A. Because too many people live there.

    B. Because the rising temperature has made the ice melt.

    C. Because lots of bridges have been built.

    D. Because the underground water is rising.

    49. What seasons are dangerous for Venice because of high waters?

    A. Summer and autumn.         B. Autumn and winter.

    C. Summer and winter.          D. Spring and winter.

    仔细阅读下列短文, 根据题目, 选出最佳选项. People often say that an Englishman's home is his castle(城堡). They mean that the home is very important and personal. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than in flats(公寓), and own their homes. They can paint and change them in any way they like. In a crowded city everyone knows that he or she has private space which is only for himself or herself and for inviting friends. People usually like to mark(做标记) their space. Are you sitting on a beach or a train or in a library If you are on the beach you may have spread(撒) your sands around you; on the train you may have put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may have one corner or chair which is your own. Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was in a section(区域) for four people and there was a table between us. The man opposite me had his bag on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was made rather angry. Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table! I took some newspapers out of my bag and put them on his. When I did this he sat up straight at once, opening his eyes wide. I had invaded(侵占) his space! A few minutes later I took my newspapers off his bag in order to read them. He at once moved his bag to his side of the table.
