【文章大意】本文主要就北京郊区建起滑雪场的事情，很多中产阶层的人们开始追求这种热潮。
50. 【解析】选B。主旨大意题。本文主要就北京郊区建起滑雪场的事情，很多中产阶层的人们开始追求这种热潮。故选B。另外，本文也属于新闻体裁，由第一段可知主旨大意。
51. 【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第二段的Mr. Wei, a manager of a newly-opened ski resort in Beijing, sees the growth of an industry that could soon lead Chinese to head for the ski resorts of Europe以及此段的最后一句But many are in faraway areas of the country and can't really match（敌得过）the equipment and services of some ski resorts in Europe.可知。
52. 【解析】选C。词义猜测题。leisure industry指“休闲娱乐业”。 仔细理解“And the rapid growth of a pleasure-seeking middle class has formed the basis for this new craze(热潮）”. 以及“Beijing's skiing craze is partly a result of the recent increase in private (私有的) cars. This （指上一句的内容） has led to the growth of a leisure industry in the capital's suburbs (郊区), which until the late-1990s were unreachable to ordinary people.”两句内容，可推知划线词汇应为“休闲娱乐业”之意。由此可知选C。
53. 【解析】选C。细节理解题。第四段提到的是资金的问题，因为建滑雪场要涉及到很多问题如从政府租地、准备小山、买造雪机器、保证有足够的水电来运作以及买租给顾客的滑雪设备等。由此可知A项只是资金的问题的一个方面，D项与此部分的内容不符。根据最后一段的The ski resort where Mr. Wei works cost nearly $4m to set up. And, as so often in China when someone comes up with a good idea, many others rush in and price wars break out. Beijing now offers some of the cheapest ski training classes in the world可知，由于很多人都蜂拥去建滑雪场，打起价格战，致使资金投入很多，但收益不是很大。由此可知C项才是主要的问题。B选项在文中未提及。
