Some desert regions get no rainfall for months, and even years. Yet water can be found if you dig deep enough. For a long time this was a puzzling question. Then geologists found the answer. The underground water is rainwater--but the rain fell hundreds of miles away! It soaked into the ground and then flowed underground through a rock sandwich. A rock sandwich with water in the filling has a scientific name: aquifer. An aquifer is composed of two or more layers of nonporous rock. That's the bread of the sandwich. The filling is a layer of porous rock or sand. The whole sandwich, or aquifer, is titled at a slant. The higher end is in a region of good rainfall, where the rain soaks into the porous rock or sand. The rainwater flows down at a slant between the nonporous rock layers. If a well is drilled through the top layer, the water flows up into the well. If the upper end of the aquifer is higher than the top of the well, the water is forced up without pumping. This convenient arrangement is called an artesian well because this kind of well was first developed in Artois, France.

In 1924, Nordic ski events were held at the first Winter Olympics in Chamonix, France. But the American skiers came home without medals. Norway took most of the medals for cross-country and ski jumping events that year. They did the same for many years after. From 1924 through 1972, the American skiers had no medals to show for their Olympic trips. The U.S. was generally thought to be weak in ski competition. But in 1974 it was discovered that the U. S. record was slightly better than people had been led to believe. And Norway's record was not quite as good. The discovery was a surprise and a delight to American ski fans, but even more so to American skier Anders Haugen. After fifty years, Anders got the medal he should have won back in 1924. In the ski jump event at Chamonix in 1924, Haugen had scored in fourth place. He had just missed earning a medal. His score was 17.916, just slightly behind Thorleif Haug of Norway. Haug's score of 18 had won him the bronze medal. But in 1974, Norway's National Olympic Committee did a check of all final Olympic results. There had been an error in computing Haug's score! So Haugen, now, an elderly man, traveled across the ocean for his award. On September 12,1974, he was given a bronze medal in a special ceremony at the Norway Ski Museum.

A. the 1924 Olympics
B. Norway's Skiers

(3).The writer says "the discovery was a surprise and a delight to American ski fans" in order to ______.
A. show that the error and its correction were important to ski fans as well as to Haugen
B. show that the error was more important to fans than to Haugen
C. suggest that the Americans eared more about the error than the Norwegians
D. suggest that there had been no error
(4).The best definition for the word computing is ______.
A. writing
B. judging
C. figuring
D. multiplying
1答案：B
解析：第一段。从1924年到1972年，美国的滑雪运动在奥林匹克竞赛中被认为是弱项，因为美国运动员在这个项目上从未获得过任何奖牌。选项B是正确的。
1答案：C
解析：这篇短文讲的是美国的一位滑雪运动员在一次奥林匹克运动会上的成绩被计算错误而失去了奖牌，但50年后这项纪录又被修正使他获得应得的奖牌。选项C是正确的。
3答案：A
解析：第二段。第一段已经提到人们认为美国的滑雪不如挪威的好。因此当发现挪威的滑雪记录并不是像人们被告知的那么好时，美国人和美国的滑雪迷们跟美国运动员Anders Haugen一样非常激动。这对美国运动员和美国人都很重要。选项A是正确的。
4答案：C
解析：最后一段。1974年，挪威国家奥林匹克委员会重新检查所有的决赛成绩记录，发现在“computing”挪威运动员Haug的分数时有误。Computer是计算机，去掉表示物体或人的后缀，compute就是计算的意思。从上下文也可推断，对运动员的分数计算有误才导致另一位运动员失去奖牌。选项C是正确的。Judging判断，figuring计算，multiplying增加。
Stories don't just happen ; they are created. There are no stories in the everyday course of events; there are only the ingredients for stories. A dozen people may watch a man standing on the fifth-floor ledge or a small child crying. There is no story involved in either case unless one of the dozen chooses to make one up—to surround the isolated event with a beginning and an end, thereby giving what we call a meaning to human action. In other words, there has to be a story-maker--a story-teller--if there is to be a story. You as the story-maker or writer are in complete control of all of the details of your story. You have control over who the characters are, what they do, and why they do it. You also have control over how the story is to be told and who is going to tell it. You can adopt one of a number of points of view, each of which will give a quite different total story. Broadly speaking, there are two major approaches a writer can take: (1) you can present the story as if told by someone who is completely outside it, or (2) you can present the story as if told by one of its characters. In either case, the teller's role is an assumed role.
(1).The author of this passage uses ingredients to mean ______.
A. creative features
B. unimportant details
C. misleading facts
D. raw materials
(2).Who controls all the details of the story?
A. The story-maker.
B. The characters.
C. The publisher.
D. The proofreader.
(3).The main idea of this passage is ______.
A. stories are created
B. nonfiction stories are true
C. legends are a type of story
D. most stories are historical accounts
(4).Based on the two approaches mentioned in the passage, the story can be told by ______.
A. the one who writes the story
B. people who create stories
C. the man who is watched by people
D. the one who is one of the characters
1答案：D
解析：第一段。作者一开篇就点明所谓故事是创作出来的，不是自然发生的。每天发生的事件并没有故事，只是故事的ingredients。后面又举了两个例子说明日常的事件本身并不是故事。只有给所选的事件加上头和尾，加入一定的意义才能成为真正的故事。由此判断，ingredients指的是没有加工过的事件，即素材。选项D是正确的。Raw material素材。In-前缀，表示在……里、非、无意义等。
2答案：A
解析：第二段。写故事的人控制着故事中的一切。诸如：细节、人物、事件等。选项A是正确的。
3答案：A
解析：短文从一开始就点明了主题：故事是创作出来的。选项A是正确的。
4答案：D
解析：最后一段。一般来说，故事的叙述有两种方式：由故事以外的人叙述(通常是第三人称)；另一种是故事中的某一个人物叙述(通常是第一人称)。选项D是正确的。
