Rinks will close periodically for maintenance. Appointed hockey rinks may be for open skating during hockey practices or scheduled open hockey times. Please call the number listed below to confirm details.
Our maintenance crew and dedicated volunteers work hard to keep the rinks clean, but Saint Paul snow piles up fast and freezes easily, which can quickly reduce the skateable surface area of the rink. Even if you feel you can’t commit to volunteering, you are still desired to help by clearing snow while visiting the rinks.Thank you for doing your part to make Saint Paul rinks great.
21.What situation can cause rinks to close?
A. No water is found on the surface.
B. The temperatures are below-25F.

变式题练习
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
He came to Britain, 16, with a handful of qualifications, £ 5 in pocket and a burning ambition. Thirty-five years later, Vijay, 51, and his brother, Bhikhu, own a drug company which does £ 234 million worth of business each year. Together they are worth £ 280 million and now they have been jointly named “Entrepreneur of the Year”.It is an inspirational tale.Yet despite their wealth and this award, Vijay remains modest about their success. He praises his mother: “She is an incredible lady. She taught us hard work, honesty and we have based our lives on those qualities.”In 1967, Vijay kissed his mother goodbye to London to make his fortune. “I had little more than my qualifications and £ 5,” says Vijay. “But to go with those, I had a huge ambition to make something of myself,” he recalls. Typically, Vijay looks on the bright side. “When you start from zero, things can’t get any worse. You have only one way to go, and that’s up—if there is a hunger in your stomach for success.” Vijay says.“My brother and I were determined to better ourselves and Britain was the land of opportunity.”By 1982, he had owned six chemist’s shops, when Bhikhu, a then financial analyst, joined him, adding some “financial discipline” to his company.Vijay says: “I simply couldn’t have done it without him.” As he puts it, “Brought up under one roof, we understand one another from A to Z.”Vijay is keen to continue repaying the country he has made his own. “We hope we are model citizens and would like to remain so,” he says. “We are lucky enough to live in a country that never stands in our way.” His message for young people is to do the same: “Identify your aim, and do not let anything discourage you from achieving that goal.”
25.What is the recipe for Vijay’s success?
A. His brother’s financial aid.
B. His identity of model citizen.
C. The perseverance in his goal.
D. Encouraging quotes from mom.

答案:
C推理判断题。
解题思路:
【解析】根据第三段Vijay说的话可知,他成功的秘诀是对目标的执着坚持。学生容易误选A,将原文叙述“By 1982, he had owned six chemist’s shops, when Bhikhu, a then financial analyst, joined him, adding some “financial discipline” to his company.”与选项A“financial aid..”混淆,但二者本身词义表达就不同。
