29、over a vast area and causing a shock wave that smashed windows, damaged buildings and injured l,200 people.People heading to work in Chelyabinsk heard what sounded like an explosion, saw a bright light and then felt the shock wave.According to Russian space agency Roscosmos, the fireball, travelling

30、 at a speed of 30km per second, had burnt very brightly across the horizon, leaving a long white trail that could be seen as far as 200km away. Car alarms went off, thousands of windows shattered and mobile phone networks were disrupted.“I was driving to work, it was quite dark, but it suddenly beca

31、me as bright as if it were day,” said Viktor Prokofiev, 36, a resident of Yekaterinburg in the Urals Mountains. “I felt like I was blinded by headlights.”The meteorite, which weighed about 20 tons and may have been made of iron, entered Earths atmosphere and broke apart 30-50km above ground, accordi

32、ng to Russias Academy of Sciences.The energy released when it entered the Earths atmosphere was about several thousand tons, the academy said, the power of a small atomic weapon exploding.No deaths were reported, but the Emergencies Ministry said 20,000 rescue and clean-up workers were sent to the r

33、egion after President Vladimir Putin told Emergencies Minister Vladimir Puchkov to ease the disruption and help the victims.The Interior Ministry said about l, 200 people had been injured, at least 200 of them children, and most from broken pieces of glass.“While events this big are rare, an impact

36、rites _.A. is nearly unavoidableB. happens every few yearsC. can be avoidedD. is hard to estimateBCommuters (上下班往返的人) who drive to work will face a parking charge of up to 350 a year. Ministers are backing a workplace parking charge which will come into force in Nottingham in 2014 and is likely to b

37、e adopted across the country. The scheme will see firms with more than ten parking places for staff charged 350 a year for each space in two years.Employers would be free to pass on the charge to their staffmeaning it would effectively be a tax on driving to work. The scheme aims to reduce traffic b

38、y preventing unnecessary car journeys and raise funds to improve public transport，but critics say it is just an excuse for councils to fill their coffers (金庫)Some ten million Britons drive to work each day，and the British Chambers of Commerce says the new charge could total 3.4 billion a year if rol

39、led out nationwide.Already some firms in Nottingham have threatened to leave the city，where 40,000 commuters use their cars to get to work. A spokesman said the scheme was nothing more than a tax on jobs. “It is very unfair to discriminate against those employers who have parking spaces，which get ve

40、hicles off the streets，” he said. “And these charges apply around the clock，which is especially unfair on shift workers who rely on their cars because public transport is not available. This is more about increasing the governments income than reducing traffic.”However，Transport Minister Sadiq Khan

41、gave the plan an official approval during a visit to Nottingham. The council says the tax will raise as much as 100 million over ten yearsone fifth of the cost of a new transport system for the city.Another transport spokesman Theresa Villiers said the tax would have a devastating（毀滅性的）impact on bus

42、inesses struggling to cope with the economic decline.But Richard Hebditch of the Campaign for Better Transport said the tax would raise money to invest in better transport. “We put forward the idea of workplace parking taxes as a fairer way to raise money to invest in the future local transport serv

43、ices. We are pleased that the people of Nottingham will be the first to benefit.”60. Supportersarguethatthescheme_.

46、at art? On the one hand, we can all see that great art is old art which is called great. But how do we know which art of our own times is great, and which will be forgotten? And who decides? These are important questions, for the great art of the past often was not considered great during its own ti

47、me. When Shakespeare and Charles Dickens were writing, for example, most critics considered them as hack (平庸的) writers with little or no literary ability. Similarly, Van Gogh and many of the other Impressionist painters of the late nineteenth century were not allowed to participate in events involvi

48、ng what were thought to be the real painters of the time, and often they were very poor. Yet today their paintings often sell for millions of dollars, while those so-called real painters are now barely remembered. So what makes great art? Can, for example, rock music be great art? Music videos? Cart

49、oons and comics? Those who call themselves critics of the fine arts often have been the last to recognize great art in the past, and we can probably expect this to be the situation today. Critics often dont recognize great art because they tend to be prejudiced against what is popular. Popular works

50、, whether they are novels, movies, or comics, are usually considered to be produced for the sake of money only, and not for the sake of art. But popularity, it seems to me, is one of the three signs that a present-day work of art may come to be thought of as great. The other two are that it is groun

51、dbreaking, and that it is inherently (內(nèi)在的) beautiful. Many works have one or even two of these qualities of being popular, unusual, and beautiful. But having all the three often will mean that a work of art will someday be seen to be great, though it may take a good spoonful of time, such as a centu

52、ry or two, to know for sure. 64. The first paragraph is intended to_. A. lead to the following and arouse the readers curiosityB. introduce some real painters to the readersC. introduce the questions the writer wants to answer D. explain what kind of art will become popular65. The author used the ex

53、amples of Shakespeare, Charles Dickens and Van Gogh to prove _.A. these masters works have some shortcomingsB. these masters wouldnt have been so successful without the criticsC. truly beautiful works of art are never understood when first created D. great masters are often not acknowledged while they were alive66. According to the author, great
