Question

4．Do you have any skiing equipment you are no longer need？A ski school in the far north of India could put it to good use．
In March we published a photostory about the extraordinary Zsnskar region in northern India，which is cut off from the outside wodd for more than seven months of the year，and only accessible via a frozen river．We also included information about the limited use of skiing in the region and the recent creation of the Zanskar Ski School：
"Despite the difficulties of travelling through the region when the snow comes，skiing hash't traditionally been used as a means of transport by the locals，largely because trees don't grow here，so there is little in the way of raw materials from which to make skis．In 1995，a group of British scientists in the region noticed the lack of skis and one of them returned to set up the Zanskar Ski School in Padam．The school provides lessons for a small fee and rents out donated skis to the local people．Among the benefits that the school hopes to bring are improved education-children often find it difficult to get to school through the deep snow-and the possibility of offering ski tours to tourists in the future．So far，more than 300 local people have received training，and local doctors and policemen regularly borrow skis．"
But，what we weren't able to include in the article is that the ski school is always on the look out for old skiing equipment-particularly of a size suitable for children-and，I thought．now the European ski season is drawing to a close，there might be a few of you out there who have some old equipment you'd like to see go to a good home．If that's the ease you can get in touch with the school via their website www．zanskarskischooL．org．

Answer 1

分析 本文主要介绍了在印度北部的Zsnskar 地区，因为没有木材做滑板，缺少雪橇，所以人们出行有困难．一位英国的科学家在伯德姆建了所学校培训滑雪技术，也租借给当地人一些雪橇，但是还是缺乏设备，作者希望那些家里有旧的不用的雪橇设备的人士可以把雪橇设备捐赠给学校．

解答 66．A 写作意图题．根据第一段的"Doyou have any skiing equipment you no longer need？A ski school in the far north of India could put it to good use．"可知，作者是想说服读者把不用的滑雪设备送给学校．故选A．
67．C 细节理解题．根据第三段的"Despitethe difficulties of travelling through the region when the snow comes，skiing hasn't traditionally beenused as a means of transport by the locals，largely because trees don't grow here，so there is little in the way of raw materials from which to makeskis．可知这个地区人们不滑雪的原因主要是没有木材做滑板，故选C．
68．B 细节理解题．根据第三段的"Theschool provides lessons for a small fee…"可知这所滑雪学校使孩子的上学变得更容易了，故选B．
69．C 推理判断题．根据文章最后一段的"there might be a few of you out there who have some oldequipment you'd like to see go to a good home．If that's the ease you can get in touch with the school via theirwebsite www．zanskarskischool．org．"可知最有帮助的人是那些有旧的滑雪设备的人，可以把它们捐给学校，故选C．
70．D 主旨大意题．文章主要介绍了印度北部的Zsnskar 地区，缺少雪橇出行不便，而有些人家里有旧的不用的雪橇设备，可以捐赠给那些需要的人，因此最好的标题是给旧雪橇找个家，故选D．
