When he came back, he told his fantastic stories to a writer who wrote them down for him. Marco Polo had been to China and stayed there for some time, so many of his stories were about China and its people. He told stories about the towns, cities and populations in great detail. He also described the amazing inventions and discoveries he saw in China such as paper money and coal, which was called black stone by him.
Marco Polo was a great traveler and explorer. Most importantly, his travels had a great influence for many future travelers.
B. Dear editor,
I have learned much about the Antarctica, so I’ll tell you something according to what I have learned.
Antarctica is a continent in the extreme south of the earth. It covers an area of 14 million square kilometers, which is equal almost to Europe and Australia put altogether. Antarctica is the coldest continent covered with thick ice and snow all the year round. Its wintertime is as long as seven months, from April to October, during which time, it is impossible for ships to reach the coast. Although it is the coldest in the world, Antarctica is a very rich continent. There are many well-known animals, such as penguins and whales. it is also rich in mineral resources, including iron and coal.
Scientists from different countries, including China, have set foot there. A lot of research work has carried out in recent years.
That’s all. Thanks a lot.

A
The Arctic is a very cold, windy, and often snowy biome (生物群系) located around the North Pole. When referring to the Arctic, people usually mean the part of the earth within the Arctic Circle. Although there is no land at the North Pole, the icy Arctic Ocean is filled with life ranging from the microscopic to the huge.
Animals that live in the Arctic adapted to extreme conditions. Many animals who over-winter (过冬) in the Arctic have a coat that thickens and changes color to white during the winter as camouflage in the snow.
The Arctic fox is a furry mammal that lives in the far north, in the tundra (冻土地带) and coastal areas of North America, Iceland, Greenland, Scandinavia, and Siberia, The Arctic fox is found farther north than any other land mammal.
A male fox is called a reynard, the female is called a vixeal, and the baby is called a kit. A group of foxes is called a skulk or a leash.
The fur of the Arctic fox is white during the winter and gray-brown in the summer. There is also a blue morph (a coastal subspecies of Arctic fox that is bluish in the winter and chocolate
brown in the summer). This is effective camouflage for the fox. This mammal is about 20 inches long plus a tail 12 inches long. The long, bushy tail, sometimes called a sweep, helps the fox change direction quickly and keeps the fox's feet and nose warm when it curls up to sleep. Foxes have sharp, curved claws, sharp teeth, and thick, insulating fur. The relatively small size of the Arctic fox's ears reduces heat loss.
21. The first paragraph mainly tells us that __________.
A. the Arctic fox can survive by camouflage.
B. due to the extreme cold weather, certain animals can adapt to the life in the Arctic.
C. at the mention of the Arctic, people usually think of the Arctic Circle
D. extreme as the living conditions are, many kinds of animals exist in the Arctic.
22. What's the function of the Arctic fox's white coat in the winter?
A. The white coat matches the surroundings and makes them look attractive.
B. The white color hides them from their enemies.
C. The whiteness makes them stand out against the surroundings.
D. The white coat can protect them from cold in winter.
23. In Paragraph 4 the author uses the way of ________ to tell us some terms about the fox.
A. description
B. examples
C. analysis
D. explanation
24. The underlined word “camouflage” in the second paragra ph probably means __________.
A. the way that the shape of an animal protects it by making it difficult to see
B. a way of hiding something, especially soldiers and military
C. the way that the colour or shape of an animal protects it by making it difficult to see
D. the type of clothes that soldiers wear to make themselves more difficult to see
25. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. the Arctic fox is the animal living in the farthest north
B. the Arctic fox's fur has three colors
C. the Arctic fox is about 80 cm long
D. the Arctic fox' s tail can help itself to run quickly
B
Antarctica has actually become a kind of space station —a unique observation post for seeing important changes in the world’s environment. Remote from maj or sources of pollution and the complex geological and ecological systems that exist elsewhere, Antarctica makes possible scientific measurements that are often sharper and easier to explain than those made in
Growing numbers of scientists therefore see Antarctica as a distant-early-warning-sensor (传感器), where potentially dangerous global trends may be spotted before they show up to the north. One promising field of investigation is glaciology(冰河学). Scholars from the United States, Switzerland, and France are taking up seven separate but related projects that reflect their concern for the health of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet — a concern they believe the world at large (普通)
The Transantarctic Mountains, some of them more than 14,000 feet high, divide the continent into two very different regions. The part of the continent to the “east” of the mountains is a high plateau (高原) covered by an ice sheet nearly two miles thick. “West” of the mountain, the half of the continent south of the Americas is also covered by an ice sheet, but there the ice rests on rock that is mostly well below sea level. If the West Antarctic Ice Sheet disappeared, the western part of the continent would be reduced to a group of small islands.
While ice and snow are obviously central to many environmental experiments, others focus on the mysterious “dry valley” of Antarctica, valleys that contain little ice or snow even in the depths of winter. Through the mountains of southern Victoria land, these valleys once held large quantities of glaciers (冰川) that fall 9,000 feet from the polar plateau to the Ross Sea. Now the glaciers are gone, perhaps a casualty (变故) of the global warming trend during the 10,000 years since the ice age. Even the snow that falls in the dry valleys is blown out by strong winds that roar down from the polar plateau to the sea. Left bare are surprising gorges (峡谷), rough fields of sand dune s (沙丘), groups of boulders (大圆石) sculptured (侵袭) into fantastic shapes by 100-mile-an-h
Despite the unearthly aspect of the dry valleys, some scientists believe that they may carry a message of hope for the verdant (草木繁茂的) parts of the earth. Some scientists believe that in some cases the dry valleys may take in pollutants faster

An ice bridge made of frozen Antarctic water built at U.N. headquarters (总部) on Monday, which is expected to melt within a week, is served as a reminder of the dangers of melting glaciers.
Norwegian artist Vebjorn Sand brought the fresh water to New York to build a temporary bridge based on a Leonardo da Vinci design. It is a copy of another span (跨度) he built on a glacier in Antarctica a year ago which he hopes ________________.
"Our future lies underneath that ice glacier. So to make it on that glacier and in that part of Antarctica is highly significant," Sand said outside U.N. headquarters.
"The one outside the United Nations is intended to melt to show that Antarctica is melting," he said, highlighting that 70 percent of the earth's fresh water is held in Antarctic ice.
The bridge's elegant arc (弧), based on da Vinci's 1502 "Golden Horn" design, is roughly 30 feet long and anchors an exhibition highlighting the "fragile beauty" of polar regions.
The bridge was unveiled (揭开) two days after nearly 200 nations agreed at U.N.-led talks in Bali (巴厘岛) to launch negotiations on a new agreement to fight global warming.
In May, satellite data analyzed by NASA showed vast areas of Antarctic snow and ice, roughly the size of California, melted in 2005 and then refroze, the most significant thawing (融化) for 30 years.
Some experts believe the thaw of Antarctic ice is happening faster than predictions by the U.N. climate panel (专家组) and could in the worst case raise world sea levels by 6 feet by 2100.

A
The style of Western art has changed many times, while Chinese art has changed less often. Art is influenced by the way of life and beliefs of the people, and China, unlike Europe, has followed a similar way of life for a very long time. There are so many different styles of Western art that it would be impossible to describe all of them in a short text. So this text will describe only a few of the main styles, starting from the 5th century AD.
The Middle Ages (5th to 15th century AD)
During the Middle Ages, the main aim of painters was to represent religious themes. Artists were interested in creating respect and love for God. Things had begun to change by the 13th century when painters like Giotto di Bondone began to paint religious scenes in a more realistic (现实主义的) style.
The Renaissance (14th to 16th century)
In the Renaissance, new ideas and values took the place of those that were held in the Middle Ages. People became focused more on humans and less on religion. Painters returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art. They tried to paint people and nature as they really were. One of the most important discoveries during this period was how to draw things in perspective (透视).
Impressionism (late 19th to early 20th century)
In the late 19th century, Europe changed a great deal. Naturally, these changes also led to changes in painting styles. Among the painters who broke away from the traditional style of painting were the impressionists who lived and worked in Paris.
The impressionists were the first artists to paint outdoors. They wanted to show how light and shadow fell on objects at different times of the day. Their paintings were not as detailed as those of earlier painters. At first, most people said the impressionists were careless and their paintings were ridiculous.
Modern art (20th century to today)
At the time they were created, the impressionists' paintings were controversial, but today they are accepted as the beginning of what we now call "modern art". The impressionists helped
artists to think about their environment and art in new ways. Some modern art is abstract; that is, the painter concentrates on certain qualities of an object, using color, line and shape to represent them. While, some modern art is realistic; it looks almost like a photograph. It is interesting to predict how painting will develop in the future.
21. According to the passage, art is less likely to be influenced by _________.
A. social changes

D. Modern artists concentrated on certain qualities of the objects when drawing.
23. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Western art has changed very little over the last sixteen centuries.
B. Artists didn't paint nature and real people before the 13th century.
C. Modern painters tried to paint things in a romantic way.
D. There will be no new styles of painting in the future.
24. Which of the following do we know about impressionists' paintings?
A. The impressionists painted their pictures mainly indoors.
B. People liked the impressionists from the very beginning.

B
Little is actually known about African-American artist Robert Scott Duncannon. Robert was born in 1821 in Fayette, New York. He was the son of freed slaves from Virginia.
One day, in 1848, a stern-looking(表情严肃的) man walked into Robert's gallery with a strange request. The man, Charles Avery, wanted Robert to paint a picture of his copper mine in Northern Michigan. Robert took a trip to the Lake Superior area. Excited by the natural beauty of the place, he made many sketches (素描) of shining lakes and blue mountains. These were the scenes he'd always dreamed of painting, and he suddenly realized that his greatest paintings would be large landscapes. Robert had long admired the works of Frederic Church, Thomas Cole, and the other Hudson River School painters. They were inspired by the beauty of nature. Now he felt moved by tile romantic glory of America's wild places.
In 1850 Robert moved back to Cincinnati. He set up a studio and began working as an full-time artist. Soon he got an offer from Nicholas Longworth, an important Cincinnati lawyer, to decorate his mansion (公寓) with large wall paintings. It was the toughest and a big job that Robert had ever attempted.
Two years later, when the murals were completed, visitors were amazed. Each of the eight murals was nine feet tall and seven feet wide. Each was enclosed (装入)in its own frame that looked so real, viewers had to touch them to believe whether they were true or not!
In Cincinnati in 1866, artists, black and white, clamored(要求) to set up studios near Duncannon's. They wanted to learn his techniques, and Robert welcomed them all. His old dream of unconditional acclaim (称赞) as a master artist had finally come true.
Sadly, at the height of his career, Robert's physical and mental health began to fall. In 1870 he was in a state of near collapse. Often he was too weak and confused to paint at all. It's possible that Robert may have had a nervous breakdown brought on by overwork or stress. Some
people now believe his illness may have been caused by the paint he used in his early house-painting days. Paint then had a great deal of poisonous lead in it. Too much lead in the body can cause odd behavior and, eventually, even death. But nobody knew that then.
A few months later, Robert's condition improved, and he returned to work. For a while everything seemed fine. Then one day in October 1872, while hanging paintings for a new exhibition in Detroit, he collapsed. He died on 21st, December. Robert was remembered as "the best landscape painter in the West".
26. Why did the author say Robert was an African-American artist?
A. Because Robert was born in African and studied and worked in American.
B. Because his parents were African slaves.
C. He learnt his painting skills in America.
D. He learnt his painting skills in Africa.
27. A copper mine owner changed Robert's life, because ________.
A. he found landscape was his favorite in the preparation for the picture
B. a stern-looking man promised to pay him a large sum of money
C. Robert's teacher was a romantic painter
D. the copper mine owner liked him best
28. Visitors to the Cincinnati lawyer's mansion were surprised because _________.
A. The murals were touched and were found real
B. Each of nine murals was eight feet tall and seven feet wide
C. Every mural had its own frame that was real
D. All the paintings were painted as real as they were in nature
29. Which is not true?
A. Canadian artists admired Robert for his landscape paintings.
B. Duncannon only accepted white artists.
C. Robert's health was damaged by the lead in his paint, as well as his hard work and little
rest.
D. Duncannon devoted his life to the landscape art.
30. The underlined word “mural” in the fourth paragraph means _________.
A. picture showing an area of countryside or land
B. an object made out of stone, wood, clay etc by an artist
C. a painting that is painted on a wall, either inside or outside a building
D. a simple, quickly-made drawing that does not show much detail

Most people heard of Shakespeare and probably know something of his plays. However, not everybody knows much about the life of this world-famous man, except perhaps that he was born in the market town of Stratford-upon-Avon and that he married a woman called Anne Hathaway. We know nothing of his school life.
Nothing certain is known of what he did between the time he left school and his leaving home for London. It is said that he was beaten and even put in prison for stealing rabbits and deer from a neighboring landowner, and because of this he was forced to leave his native place.
Whatever caused him to leave him hometown, no one knows for certain. However, the world can be thankful about it. When he arrived in London, he set his foot on the road to fame. It is said that he was without money or friends there at first, but that he made a little money by taking care of the horses of the gentlemen who attended the plays at the theatre. In time, he ___________ the actors in the theatre, and they found him clever. Finally he was invited to join their company. By 1592, he had become one of the three members of a famous company.
From what we know of his later life, it is clear that Shakespeare’s connection with theatre had made him a wealthy man since he wrote the plays, which attracted a good many people. Towards the end of the 16th century he bought a large property in Stratford. No less than eleven of his

第一单元 路永在前方 阿什利塔·福曼是一位热衷挑战并总想争创吉尼斯纪录的运动员。在过去25年中，他大约(approximately)已经打破了93项吉尼斯世界纪录，至今，他仍然是其中20多项纪录的保持者，还包括拥有最多的吉尼斯纪录这一项。但是这些记录并不是像游泳或足球等一般运动项目那样创建的，而是阿什利塔试图在非常有趣的地点，在富有想像力的运动项目中打破的。 最近，阿什利塔完成了他的梦想:在所有七大洲破一项纪录，其中包括在澳洲玩呼啦圈，在南美洲的水下做弹簧单高跷游戏，在北美洲的热气球中做膝部深弯曲运动。 虽然这些活动看起来孩子气且令人发笑而不是让人肃然起敬，但实际上(in reality),完成这些活动需要强大的力量,健康的体格和坚定的决心。 想想吧,你一边走路,一边还要把一瓶牛奶顶在头上，你的脖子需要的多好的适应力。你可以停下来休息或吃东西，但瓶子必须呆在头上。 当阿什利塔站在75厘米高的瑞士球上时，看起来虽然很轻松容易，其实不然。呆在球上得一直全神贯注，还需要有极强的注意力和极好的平衡感。特别是在双腿开始抖动的时候，你还得使劲呆在球上。 然而沿着12英里的马路翻筋斗,情况又是怎样的呢？翻筋斗是一项艰苦的运动,因为你必须克服头晕、极度疲劳和痛苦。每翻滚一个小时,只允许休息5分钟,不过也可以短暂地停下来呕吐(vomit)。 做标准的体操(gymnastically)弓箭步动作向前，以最快的节奏走完1英里的路程是阿什利塔又一个出色的项目。弓箭步冲刺对你的双腿是一个极端艰苦的考验。开始时呈站立姿势，然后右脚向前迈一步，同时左膝触地，然后再站起来，左脚向前迈出一步，同时右膝触地。想想吧，这个动作要反复做1英里远！ 然而，这位有才能的运动员并不是天生的。小时候，他很不健康(unfit)，而且对运动毫无兴趣。但他却对《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》非常着迷(fascinated)。 阿什利塔究竟是怎样成为一位运动员的呢？这是一个有趣的故事。少年时,他就开始探究人生的深层的意义。他研究过东方宗教，16岁时，他发现了一位名叫斯里琴摩的印度静坐功(mediation)导师，住在纽约市他家附近。自从20世纪70年代初，阿什利塔就一直是斯里琴摩的学生。斯里琴摩指出，人们发展他们的体魂与发展他们的头脑、心灵和精神上的(spiritual)自我具有同等的重要性，并且他相信人的体能是没有局限的。 当阿什利塔1978年在纽约市中央公园进行的24小时自行车马拉松(marathon)比赛中获得第三名时，他就知道总有一天他将进入《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》。尽管从没有训练过，他还是受到他的精神领袖的敦促参加了马拉松比赛。因此,当他取得第三名的时候，他开始有了这样的认识：他的身躯只不过是他的精神的工具，而且他似乎能够利用他的精神力量去完成任何事。从那时起，阿什利塔就拒绝接受任何身体极限的说法。 由于有了这种新的信心, 阿什利塔于1979年第一次打破吉尼斯纪录——跳爆竹27000次。不断努力打破纪录的动机源来自他对斯里琴摩思想的虔诚。每次试图破纪录的时候，阿什里塔都会达到一个体力不可逾越的极限点。这个时候，他就会进入自己的内心深处，与他的灵魂(soul)和他的老师相沟通。 在创纪录的努力中，阿什利塔总是要感谢他的老师。事实上，他常穿着一件T恤衫，后背上有斯里琴摩的名言： “完美的道路只有一条,它就在你前方,永远在你前方。” 集中精力于……
