    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.

    Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem. Sometimes tourists will have such strange experiences. One moment they walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there’s nothing special. But when they come back to the bridge an hour later, it’s underwater and everyone is wearing rain shoes.

    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) melt( 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. The Italian government has asked some of Italy’s biggest companies to build the MOST project, which was planned to be build under the seawater to stop the rising water. Anyway, this project is helping solve the problem.

    1. Which is the best way to travel in Venice?

    A. The waterways. B. Taxis and cars.

    C. 400 bridges D. Boats and rain shoes.

    2.What doesn’t cause Venice to get lower and lower?

    A. The ice of the Arctic Ocean melt.

    B. Seawater is everywhere around the city.

    C. People used too much underground water

    D. The temperature has become higher over the years.

    3. What can we infer from the last passage?

    A. Venice is sure to stop getting lower.

    B. High waters won’t hit Venice any more.

    C. Scientists can solve the problems easily

    D. Some possible ways help to solve the problem.

    4. What’s the best title of this passage?

    A. The Places of Interest of Venice

    B. The History of Venice.

    C. The Specials and Problems of Venice

    D. The MOST Project of Venice.

    Many people travel to different places in the world by air. Usually it takes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plan. So airlines（航空公司）offer passengers food. But it is common that they feel bad about food taste. Do you agree?

    To solve this problem, airlines try hard to improve their food. They would like to do so because they don’t want to lose customers.

    However, according to scientific research, part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at high altitude（海拔）we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure（气压）reduces one third of the sensibility（感觉）of our taste buds（味蕾）. So our taste buds become senseless. The sad face, however, is that our noses don’t know it.

    All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy（辛辣的）food. Without doing so, the food would be tasteless.

    Now there are many researches on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks. And scientists write down their feelings about food taste.

    Though scientists try their best, it is not as easy as they thought. Because they can’t deal with the special environment successfully, such as the change in air pressure, making food taste good is still hard for them.

    1.In Paragraph 2, “this problem” means ______.

    A. passengers stay long in the plane

    B. food on the plane tastes bad

    C. passengers have no food to eat

    D. food on the plane is expensive

    2.What do airlines do to solve this problem?

    A. Get more customers. B. Offer more food.

    C. Improve their food. D. Reduce the ticket price.

    3.As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure reduces of the sensibility of our taste buds.

    A. half B. one third

    C. one fourth D. one fifth

    4.Why do scientists feel it hard to made food on the plane taste good?

    A. The volunteers don’t know about food taste.

    B. The volunteers don’t understand them.

    C. They can’t find enough volunteers.

    D. They can’t deal with the special environment successfully.

    5.What is the best title of the passage?

    A. Taste of Airplane Food

    B. Airplane Travel

    C. Scientific Research on Noses

    D. The Change in Air Pressure
