A
Do you want to see the effects of global warming? Then head north. Will Steger is going to take all of us there.
Steger, 64, the first person to make a dogsled trip to the North Pole, is a very famous and admired polar explorer. He’s at home in frozen parts of the world where
few humans ever step on. Steger is also a devoted environmentalist who was early to ring the alarm bell on global warming. He saw its effects firsthand in frequent polar expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctica.
Now Steger is about to lead a team of six young adventurers on a 1,400-mile, 60-day-long dogsled trip across Ellesmere Island, in the Canadian Arctic. The sea ice in that region should still be frozen. “We want to take our audience to the front lines of global warming,” says Steger. The team will be uploading videos, stories and photos to the website as they march along, allowing armchair adventurers and kids in classrooms to follow their progress day to day. “We can actually bring the audience up there,” Steger says.
Steger’s team will include some already-famous young explorers. Sam Branson, the 22-year-old son of British airline tycoon (大亨) Richard Branson, is an experienced Arctic traveler. Also on the journey will be 27-year-old Norwegian Sigrid Ekran. Last year, Ekran became only the second woman in history to win Rookie (新秀) of the Year for the Iditarod Sled Dog Race.
What t hey will see may be very surprising. Even Steger doesn’t know exactly what to expect. Climate change has already reshaped the geography of the Arctic. “Within a decade or less, it’s going to be impossible to reach the North Pole by dog team without flotation (漂浮),” says Steger.
Climate change is happening, but people can change too. Their willingness to change will determine the shape of the Earth’s future.
51. Why is Steger about to organize the adventure to the Arctic?
A. To collect evidence for his scientific research.
B. To develop the young people’s adventurous spirit.
C. To let more people enjoy its natural beauty.
D. To let people realize the bad effects of global warming.
52. How can people learn about the progress of Steger’s journey?
A. Through radio programs.
B. By watching TV.
C. On the Internet.
D. By reading his journals.
53. According to Steger, people can save the earth by _____.
A. changing their harmful way of life
B. learning more about the environment
C. willingly giving up their comfortable life
D. getting used to the present changes of the earth
54. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Arctic is in danger
B. Sledding through the Arctic
C. Discoveries of the Arctic
D. Consequences of global warming
B
On Sunday a few of us decided to take advantage of the first sunny day we’d have for ages to take a trip down to the coast to visit the penguins again. Last time I went down there was a couple of months ago and it was a dull cold day. Sunday could n’t have been more different —clear skies and sunshine made it feel like summer, although it was still -25°C.
Six of us drove to the coast. It was the first time we’d been off the base on our own without our field assistant, so it had a slightly different feeling — more like a few friends going to the seaside than an Antarctic field trip! When we reached Windy Creek, we luckily caught sight of quite a few small flying seabirds, which are seldom seen there.
Once on the sea ice we found that some of the more curious penguins had wandered over from the main group to come and check us out. We’d been told that then they were nursing their chicks (刚孵出的幼雏) and they would be more careful and nervous than last time, but that didn’t seem to be the case. We walked across to the main group which were stretched for a couple of miles along the coast. We sat down for some sandwiches and soon found ourselves surrounded by many curious observers. Without any attackers on land, they were very brave and came within a meter of us to pose (摆姿势) for photos.
Before heading back, we spent a few hours on the sea ice watching the penguins and their chicks, which had grown dramatically (明显地) since our last visit.
It was such a nice day.
55. When did the trip most probably happen?
A. On a dull Sunday.
B. On a warm Sunday.
C. On a summer Sunday.
D. On a winter Sunday.
56. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that the six people _____.
A. felt a little nervous
B. felt a little excited
C. were left all by themselves on their Antarctic base
D. got bored with staying with their field assistant
57. What does the writer mean by saying “but that didn’t seem to be the case”?
A. They were told a lie.
B. A wrong decision was made.
C. The truth was the opposite.
D. They didn’t believe what they were told.
58. The six people did the following during the trip EXCEPT _____.
A. feed the penguins
B. take pictures of the penguins
C. enjoy watching flying seabirds
D. watch the young penguins
C

When I was 13, my bedroom walls were covered with posters of the Monkees and Beatles. I wrote fan letters and daydreamed about meeting the objects of my affections. I begged my parents to attend every rock concert and watch every TV show featuring my favorite celebrities; my friends and I discussed for hours all the things we would say and do when we met our favourite movie stars and pop singers.
I drove my mother crazy ! But after a few years, my obsession（着迷）stars faded as I matured and gained the confidence to socialize with “real” boys.
In the 35 years since I was a teenager, celebrity worship has increased among teens due to the explosion of television celebrity gossip shows, and instant access to celebrity news on the Internet. It’s no wonder that many teens are obsessed with stars when news programs are often filled with entertainment stories and the lives of celebrities.
Celebrity worship syndrome (综合征) is now considered a personality disorder. While it is normal for teenagers to follow the lives of their favorite stars, parents should try to monitor everything their child finds interesting. Parents should take action if they suspect a teen is too obsessed with celebrities and showing little interest in school or withdrawing from the family. When teens talk a lot about celebrities and view them as just means of entertainment, this is considered normal celebrity worship. However, when a teenager is obsessed with a star and often expresses a desire to have a close personal relationship with a celebrity or feels they have a special connection to a star, this may be the time for concern. Recent studies have shown that teens who develop an unhealthy obsession with celebrities often suffer from low self confidence and depression. Teens who are overly obsessed with
stars often have damaged relationships with their parents.
63. The first paragraph is intended to tell us________.
A. parents needn’t worry about c elebrity worship
B. celebrity worship can cause serious problems
C. it’s normal for a teen to have celebrity worship
D. celebrity worship only exists among teens
64. We can learn from the second paragraph that________.
A. celebrities expose their lives too much.
B. the author is surprised at celebrity worship.
C. teens today are not so obsessed with celebrities.
D. the media greatly contributes to celebrity worship today.
65. The last paragraph implies that________.
A. parents should not care too much about a child’s celebrity worship
B. celebrity worship syndrome can be a serious problem if left overlooked
C. children can normally get out of celebrity worship when they are older
D. children with celebrity worship usually have high opinion of themselves
66. What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the passage?
A. The harm of celebrity worship syndrome.
B. More signs of celebrity worship syndrome.
C. Who will suffer most from celebrity worship syndrome.
D. What to do with children’s celebrity worship syndrome.

In a message beginning "Dear President Obama”，the 86-year-old queen Elizabeth said：“I have been deeply shocked and saddened to learn of the dreadful loss of life today in Newtown. Connecticut；particularly the news that so many of the dead are children. ”
The gunman, named as Adam Lanza, 20, killed 20 small children and six teachers in the Friday shooting, after walking into a school in an idyllic Connecticut town. He had earlier killed his mother, who was a teacher at the school.
Former school bus driver Marsha Moskowitz is in disbelief. She once drove at least two of the victims to school，and remembers driving the gunman when he was in middle school. “I recall him to be quiet, reserved and v ery shy. Pretty much stayed to himself on the bus. ”
Connecticut State Police spokesman Paul Vance says Lanza forced his way into the building. “We have established the point of entry. He was not voluntarily let into the school at all, but he forced his way into the school. But that's as far as we can go on that. ”
As the nation struggles to understand how the tragedy could have occurred,
Lawrence Palinkas, Professor of Social Work at the University of Southern California, notes the reason why so many young Americans have become targets in mass killings is unknown. “Largely because we still don't have enough data —surprisingly, given the increasing number of events. But generally when helpless populations are victimized like that，it's usually to send a message, and it's unfortunately a message of intense anger. ” As of now, no one knows the reason why Adam Ianza did what he did, and many residents of Newtown fear they never will.
The queen, who never gives interviews and normally restricts her public comment to events in Commonwealth nations，added：“Prince Philip joins me in extending our heartfelt sympathy to you and the American people at this difficult time. The thoughts and prayers of everyone in the United Kingdom and throughout the Commonwealth are with the families and friends of those killed and with all those who have been affected by today’s events. ”
67. What happened to the queen Elizabeth?
A.She was shocked at the crime scene.
B.She could bear the sorrow and hardship.
C. She was determined to fight with crime.
D. wrote to Obama to show her sympathy.
68. According to the whole text, the gunman _____
A.was a teacher in a primary school
B.was invited to attend a school lecture
C. appeared more gentle than cruel in the residents' mind.
D.once drove two of the victims to school
69. We can learn from the passage that _____；•
A. each American has possessed a gun
B. reason can account for Adam’s killing
C. Adam is always kind to his neighbours
D. such killings seldom happen in the USA
70. What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
A. More harmless people will be killed during their daily life. .
B. The queen will attend the victims' funeral ceremony.
C. Maybe it will be illegal for ordinary people to possess guns.
D. the queen shows much concern and sympathy to the American people.
