One day Kavya and I were playing tennis and the ball went into a man’s house. Then we went to his house and asked if he could give us our ball. He said, “No”.We felt helpless.
But suddenly we came up with an idea. There was a water tank(水箱）behind the man’s house.
I told Kavya, “We can climb onto the water tank and jump over the gate.”Kavya agreed, but we were both wearing skirts. We couldn’t climb in those. “We can get it back tomorrow,”said Kavya.
The next day we went there with Kavya’s brother Vijay. He said, “Should loudly if
you need me.”Kavya climbed onto the water tank first and then she climbed down into the
man’s house. I followed her. We were looking under a bed for the ball when we heard a noise.

We hurried out taking the lost ball with us. Along with the ball was a surprise!

news time. I couldn’t believe my ears when it said that 20 gold bars were stolen from a
gold shop. They showed a picture of the gold bars, which were exactly like the one we had
seen in the man’s house.
We told the story to Kavya’s mother right away, and she called the police. Soon the
police caught the man. They found all the gold bars in his house. A few days later a policeman
came to us and, “Thank you for helping us catch the guy. Here is a bag for all of you.”When
we opened it, it was full of storybooks and lovely toys. Standing beside us, Kavya’s mother

Where should a tourist go? After you' ve done sightseeing in London and shopping in New
York,enjoyed the local food in Paris, and danced to your heart' s content at the Brazilian
carnival, where else can you go? There is a very special place.
Antarctica (南极洲) sounds like the holiday of a lifetime. It' s considered as the last
great wilderness on Earth. Just a few scientists in research stations share the icy landscape
with penguins and other animals who can cope with the low temperatures. Tourism in Antarctica began in the 1950s and it' s still on a small scale (规模). However,
though most of the tourists didn't go ashore, there' s no denying (无可否认) that
disturbed the environment.
The BBC' s Juliet Rix visited Antarctica and she asked herself if she should be there, because tourism might cause potential problems to such a sensitive ( 易受影响的) environment. Her tour guide admitted that all visitors leave a footprint and they all go
to the same place, the accessible (可接近的) coastline, which is also the place where the3
penguins and seals raise their children.
But some people believe that if carefully controlled, tourism can be good for Antarctica.There is no native population there, so it needs advocates (倡导者). Visitors
to Antarctica might be ready to support and even to raise money for environmental protection.
According to Juliet Rix, tourists should follow the rules when they' re about to set
foot in Antarctica and they have to disinfect(给……消毒) their boots to make sure no other
species are introduced.
And once on land, people are not allowed to eat or smoke. Nothing should be taken as
a souvenir and nothing should be left behind.
Tourists who are lucky enough to visit the Antarctic must know that this is not their home and they should keep their fingers crossed that future generations will also be able
to enjoy such breathtaking views.
32. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage?
A.By making a comparison.
B.By telling a story.
C.By asking questions.
D.By giving examples.
33.What does the underlined word “it”in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A.Antarctica.
B. Tourism.
C.Visitors.
D. Native population.
34. What is the author' s purpose in writing the passage?
A.To discuss whether tourists should go to Antarctica.
B.To show the development of tourism in Antarctica.
C.To introduce the terrible conditions in Antarctica.
D.To talk about ways to protect the animals in Antarctica.
35.What is the author' s attitude towards the tourism in Antarctica?
A.Satisfied.
B.Worried.
C.Doubtful.
D.Supportive.
