The first things I notice on arrival are penguins – hundreds of them. Wednesday, February 6 – Hello LondonIt’s time to test some of the technology we have brought with us. The key equipment is a small satellite receiver that looks like a large notebook computer.I find it amazing that, with such light equipment, I can get an Internet connection on a moving ship crossing the Antarctic Circle.Thursday, February 7—Meeting the scientistsI woke up to find HMS Endurance sailing Ryder Bay, next to the UK’s Rothera Research Station.I’ve a lot to complete today, as several science teams have just returned to Rothera. I want to catch them for interviews before they move on.Tuesday, February 12 – The deep SouthWe’ve spent three days at the sea, heading further south. Satellite images show a huge block of sea ice. The captain has decided that it would take a lot of time to try to reach Turston Island because of it.Though we met with some difficulties, we were happy to know more about the animals and the geographical situation there, which are good for further study.66. The author joined in the adventure experience to______.A. do research on climate change for his programs.B. learn more about the animals in Antarctica.C. satisfy his curiosity about Antarctica.D. realize his dream to work with scientists.67. Why did the captain say they might not reach Thurston Island easily?A. The sea ice might prevent them.B. Few people got there before.C. It was too dark.D. The temperature was changeable.68. What does the author think of the adventure experience?A. TiringB. RelaxingC. ExpensiveD. Worthwhile69. What can we learn from the text?A. Ryder Bay is the most dangerous place in Antarctica.B. The scientists there are pessimistic sometimes.C. Internet service can be available in Antarctica.D. Some technology has to be tested in cold weather.BIs it a car? Is it a plane? Actually it’s both. The first flying automobile is scheduled to take to the air next month.If it survives its first flight test, the Terrafugia Transition, which can transform itself from a two- seated c ar into a plane in 15 seconds, is expected to land in showrooms in about 18 months’ time.Its manufacturer says it is easy to keep and run since it uses normal unleaded (无铅的)fuel and fits into a garage.Carl Dietrich, who runs the Massachusetts-based Terrafugia, said, “This is the first really integrated(完整统一的) design where the wings fold up automatically and all the parts are in one vehicle.”The Transition, developed by former Nasa engineers, is powered by the same 100bhp engine on the ground and in the air.Terrafugia claims it will be able to fly up to 500 miles on a single tank of petrol at a cruising speed(平稳行使的速度) of 115mph. Up to now, however, it has been tested only on roads at up to 90mph.Dietrich said he had already received 40 orders, in spite of an expected retail price of ＄200,000(￡32,000)“For an airplane that’s very acceptable, but for a car that’s too much ,” he admitted.There are still two disadvantages. Getting insurance and finding places to take off may be a little difficult. The only place in the US in which it is legal to take off from a road is Alaska.Dietrich is optimistic. He said, “ In the long term, we have the potential to make air travel practical for individuals at a price that would meet or beat driving, with huge time saved.”70. Which of the following is True about the flying car?A. It can change into a plane in a short time.B. It is too heavy to move fast.C. It is driven by two different engines.D. It runs at the same speed as it flies in the air.71. One of the disadvantages of the flying car is that_____.A. it consumes too much oilB. it uses a special kind of fuelC. it takes much space to take offD. it is only allowed to take off in a single place72. Dietrich believes that _____.A. the flying car’s cruising speed will build upB. the flying car will become affordable in futureC. the flying car will become the most important form of transportationD. the problem connected with the flying car will be solved very soon73. What would be the best title for the text?A. Is it a car or a plane?B. How to drive a flying car?C. The first flying car meets challengesD. World’s first flying car prepares to take offC“I’m just going to get a little work done.” This is how my mom introduced the idea of getting cosmetic surgery{美容手术}. “what do you think ?”My mom wanted to know , and my reply came out before I really had time to think about , “Do wha t makes you happy ,Mom. If that’s what you want to do, then go for it.”Now that reality has set in and my mom is recovering from her surgery, I’ve had time to think about my mother’s choice to go under the knife. Apart from anxiety about what my mother will actually look like when I see her, I have some mixed feelings on the decision. When I looked at the pictures of my mother in her younger days, I always thought she looked beautiful. And even now, in her mid-60s she has beautiful skin with very few lines. Why would she choose cosmetic surgery to give her the skin she had in her 30s?More important than that question, though, is this: Does choosing to have cosmetic surgery mean you give up your choice to grow old gracefully(优雅地)?As I thought about this question over the past week I was reminded of a quote from a famous actress Cher, “If I want to make myself look different, that’s my business.”I’ve thought of this quote while accounting for my mom’s surgery. My mother is a strong,independent and educated woman. What she decides to do with her body is her business..As I realize that her decisions are her alone, I realize something important. It is that independent-woman attitude that means you can grow old gracefully. My mom is writing the rules she wants and does n’t mind what others may think-a lesson she taught me long ago and still models today..74. How did the author react to his mother’s decision on cosmetic surgery at first?A .He disagreed to the decision. B. He was excited at his mother’s idea.C. He respected his mother’s decision.D. He told his mother to think it over75. We can infer from paragraph 2 that .A. the author thought the cosmetic surgery was very difficultB. the author’s mother had already had cosmetic surgery beforeC. the author was unwilling to see his mother after the cosmetic surgeryD the author didn’t understand why his mother wanted to have cosmetic surgery76. The author quoted Cher’s words in order to _____A. give an example of women having surgeryB. offer an explanation for his mother’s surgeryC .show that he liked the famous actress CherD show that women should be independent77. What would be the best title for the text?A. A lesson Learned from MotherB. A Son’s Deep Love for His MotherC. The Rules of Independent WomenD. A Matter of How to Grow Old HealthilyDAlthough hours of studying burn mental energy, both your body and mind need physical exercise to function well. But with high school gym class being a thing of the past, and no parents around to remind you to get moving, how do you stay healthy in college?The importance of exercise is nothing new. Thomas Jefferson once wrote that to be successfully in academic studies , a person should exercise every day, for health must not be sacrificed (牺牲) for learning.A strong body makes the mind strong.A study by the researchers at Tufts University found that students who said they exercised at least 3 days a week were more likely to report a better state of physical health and greater happiness than those who didn’t exercise. This suggests that the real benefits of exercise may not come right after casual physical exercise but from a long period of regular activity.Most experts today do not demand 2 hours of daily exercise. The U.S Department of Health and Human Service suggests that people get at least 60 minutes of physical activities most days of the week.Brisk walking, jogging and swimming are easy ways to improve your heart rate and cardiovascular(心血管的) health. Exercise can also help lower blood pressure and deal with stress. For women, exercise that makes bodies and bones bear weight-like walking or running---may reduce the risk of osteoporosis(骨质疏松) later in life.You’ll likely discover another benefit of exercise as well: greater self-confidence. This may make it easier for you to take part in class and help you perform well in academic and social situations.78. The text is mainly intended for ___.A. doctorsB. studentsC. parentsD. teachers79 According to the second paragraph, Thomas Jefferson used to ____.A. point out the way to successB. stress the importance of the healthC. deny the importance of learningD. stress the importance of a strong mind80. Which of the following ideas does the author NOT agree with?A. Self-confidence is important in social situations.B. Exercise can benefit people both mentally and physically.C. Students can build up self-confidence by doing exercise.D. Most experts fail to realize the benefits of daily exercise.第二节（共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
