with no more than fifty words．（5）What do we know about Doctor Seuss from the passage？A．He won a Pulitzer Prize soon after his death．B．He sold millions of his books himself worldwide．C．He wrote the largest number of books in the world．D．He changed American children's way of reading．5．（10分）People often think of the North Pole（北极）and the South Pole as similar frozen（冰冻的）wastelands．They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there．However，the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine．The North Pole has no land，only thick ice．Temperatures seldom go above 32°F，at which water turns into ice．Most of the time，it stays below zero．In winter temperatures are usually as low as﹣30°F．Although conditions were very poor，people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole．About 100years ago，two men，Robert Peary and Mathew Henson，were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties．They reached the North Pole on March 8th，1909．It was really a hard trip for them．There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic（北极圈）on foot．People who stayed there may face many problems：very cold temperatures，sudden storms，and even hunger．Most of the area is uninhabited．Few people can live in such a difficult place．People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year，the ice would be thick and hard．However，this is not true in the Arctic．The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface．Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water（水道）called"leads"．Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes．（1）This passage is probably from．A．a book reviewB．a science bookC．a school reportD．a computer magazine（2）According to the passage，what happened about 100years ago？A．Two men succeeded in getting to the North Pole．B．Temperatures in the North Pole went above 32°F．C．The environment in the North Pole suddenly became worse．D．The North Pole changed into thick ice because of the temperatures．（3）What does the underlined word"uninhabited"probably mean in Chinese？A．气候恶劣的B．充满危险的C．困难重重的D．无人居住的（4）The reason for the ice to break into two opening lanes of water is．A．that the temperature suddenly dropsB．that the water under the ice is frozenC．that the ocean water under the ice movesD．that the surface is covered with lots of ice（5）What does this passage mainly talk about？A．The thick ice in the North Pole．B．A difficult trip to the North Pole．C．The real situation in the North Pole．D．The differences between the North Pole and the South Pole．6．（10分）Enjoy a glass of champagne（香槟）as you spend a day in the famous champagne city on a trip from Paris．With its wonderful garden，amazing view and

At least, it is so in most markets and back-street clothes shops. Bargaining is an art and if you are unfamiliar with it, we'd like to offer you some advice. The tips here are often used in Beijing but may help you at any place in the world where bargaining is practiced.▲Do not say how much you want to pay for something unless it's near the end of the bargaining. Always try and drop the seller's offering price as much as possible before opening your mouth with a price.▲Do throw out really low prices like 10 RMB with a big smile.▲Do keep smiling from the beginning to the end. The seller usually continues bargaining with a happy smiling face. Getting angry hardly gets you the price you want.▲Keep in mind the price offered by the seller at the beginning is usually at least 40% over the generally reasonable price. It can be up to 500% over.▲Do have an idea of what the item costs. You can ask your friends, people in the hotel or others you know, or look at the list below, or search for the lines on the Net or TV, which are usually based on general markets like Xiu Shui or Hua Wei. You may not be able to get the lowest prices at Xiu Shui, especially on a week-end when there are lots of tourists around.46. Who is the passage probably written for?A. Owners of back-street shopsB.

I have been a boarder（寄宿生）with the Carsons for more than a year and a half.The Carsons live in their own house, which has four bedrooms including the one in the basement（底层）which I live in. Judy does all the work in the house and Andrew is responsible for the work in the garden. When they go out in the evening, they often ask me to look after their children.Judy’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Morris, lived in another city. Judy was their only child and naturally they doted on（溺爱）Judy’s children. They often sent the children presents.Last April Mr. Morris died. Now that Mrs. Morris was quite alone, I expected that Judy would want her to come and live with them. One day, Margaret, Judy’s daughter, told me grand ma was coming to live with them and her daddy and mummy would want my room back. The news didn’t surprise me and the next day I went to Judy and asked her about it. I said I couldn't think of living in their basement room any longer if it was needed for Mrs. Morris. Judy seemed surprised at first. Then she told me there was no deed for me to move, for they hadn’t yet come to any decision about her mother coming to live with them. “Naturally I’m worried about my mother. She has been in poor health.” She smiled sadly and added. “To be honest, Andrew and my mother have never got on well. We’ll wait a bit and see what happens. Perhaps Moter will be all right living herself, or perhaps they will both change their minds.”That was six months ago. During this ti me I’ve heard that Mrs. Morris has had two illnesses and that her health has got worse. A nursing home was mentioned once but Mrs. Morris refused to go there. So up to now she’s still living alone and I’m still living in the basement room.56. What is the relationship between the speaker and the Carsons?A. He is a brother of Andrew Carson.B.

Because she did not want to leave her own house.B. Because she was in rather poor health and could not come.C. Because she did not have a good relationship with her son-in-law.D.

But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, bur sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don't get to see this soft side of others often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty -four years of driving.I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, "I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can." And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn't get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don't pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.61.
