But a 15-year-old British gi rl didn’t let these worry her. On April 15 Alicia Hempleman Adams became the youngest person to walk tothe North Pole.She completed the adventure with her PE teacher and two other companions. Eachof them carried 40 kilograms of supplies. At times temperatures fell to -45 degreescentigrade during the 320-kilometre trip across Baffin Island in northern Canada. But it took them only ten days, two days less than planned. “It is a really good feeling, more of an achievement,”　said Alicia after coming to the end of her Arctic adventure. “The wind was like a beast coming from behind us. The trip seemed endless and therewas nothing: no buildings, no people, no animals. Sometimes we h ad to walk across lakescovered with thin ice, which is really horrible.”The girl also beat her famous father, David Hempleman Adams’ time for the same walk. David is a top British explorer, who reached both the South and North poles onfoot. He also set a series of hot air-balloon records and climbed the highest mountain on every continent. “It’s a double-edged sword,”　he said. “I’m very proud of what she has achieved but a bit miffed that she has beaten my time.” Asked if there would be any future joint adventures, the dad joked: “I think I would be struggling to keep up with her n ow.”Alicia flew back to Britain last week where she faces the more normal task ofreturning to school. And she said her achievement would not necessarily mark the start of a career in exploration. “Try other things is my priority,” she said.74.During the adventure, what made Alicia frightened?75.A. Strong icy winds and endless white snow.76.B. The absence of buildings and animals.77.C. Her young age and the heavy supplies.78.D. The move on the thin ice covering lakes.79.Which of the following can best describe Alicia?80.A. Young and selfish. B. Adventurous and determined.81.C. Strong and beautiful. D. Considerate and positive.82.What does the underlined word “miffed” in paragraph 3 probably mean?83.A. annoyed B. satisfied84.C. humorous D. horrible85.We can infer that after this trip to the North Pole, what is Alicia going to do?86.A. Challenge more of her father’s records.87.B. Participate in a joint adventure with her dad.88.C. Start more explorations by herself.89.D. Experience some different activities.CYo u won’t have any excuse to skip class anymore. French Startup Open Classroomsis offering the first State-recognized bachelor degree in France that uses only MOOCs (massive open online courses). The company partnered with IESA Multimédia to create this program.There are three learning paths in engineering, design and marketing. Students will have to complete all the courses and required projects in order to get their degree.It’s the exact same degree that you would get at IESA, except that you won’t see any teachers. IESA is already working on 40 different MOOCs for this program.On average, it will take a year of hard work in order to complete all the classes.As always, it’s hard to keep going when you sign up for a MOOC –that’s why every week, you will get to video chat with a teacher.This kind of degree has many key advantages. For IESA, it gives the school morestudents. IESA is a private school, and its end goal is to make a s much m oney a s possible. So, with these new MOOC students, IESA will be able to get more money per teacher on average.For Open Classrooms, the company will certainly get a benefit as a technologyprovider. It already offers a course for ?20 per month, but you need to pay ?300per month for the Premium Plus offering to use the state-recognized program. It’s unclear how much O pen C lassrooms will keep, but it should be more than ?20 per month.For students, it’s a cheaper way to get a degree. Maybe y ou can’t afford to study for three years at IESA and pay ?6,950 per year. Open Class rooms lets you work and study at the same time and pay a lot less. Sure, it’s probably a less enjoyable experience than going to your school and spending time with other students and teachers, but it makes sense for some students.It’s an interesting new direction for Open Classrooms, and I can’t wait to see whether other schools will start working with the company to provide online courses.It will be interesting to see whether the first students are satisfied with this kindof degree as well.90.If you complete the degree program offered by Open Classrooms, ______.91.A. you can skip classes that you are not interested in92.B. you can get a degree in about two years93.C. you need to meet a teacher once every month94.D. you can get a state-recognized degree in France95.How can students benefit from the degree program, according to the article?96.A. They pay much less money to get a degree.97.B. They study their courses in a more enjoyable way.98.C. They don’t have to spend time with other students and teachers.99.D. They are free to choose the courses and projects they take in order to get thedegree.100.What is the author’s attitude toward the OpenClassrooms degree program?101. A. Upset. B. Positive.102. C. Negative. D. Critical.103.What is the main theme of the article?104. A. The benefits of an Open Classrooms program.105. B. The reasons behind the popularity of MOOCs.106. C. Some tips on how to choose an Open Classrooms program.107. D. The difficulties of keeping up with online courses.DBritish parents encourage their children to play musical instruments as part ofa family tradition and not to raise their social status as Americans do, research says.Dr. Aaron Reeves of the University of Oxford found that UK parents did not seemusical achievement by their children as character building or useful in gettinguniversity places or jobs. Instead, it was usually only those parents who playedinstruments that encouraged their children to follow suit.This contrasted with research carried out by other academics in America, he said. “Middl e-class parents in the US appear to associate cultural practice with otherbenefits, such as developing specific characteristics and paving the way for educational success. Middle-class families are often marked by a pattern of ‘concerted cultivation’, whe re parents organize music-centered activities for their children, often in addition to school-based musical practice.”Researchers had owed this to parental anxiety over the declining fortunesofeducated Americans. These parents have become increasingly worried about providingtheir children with skills and abilities enabling them to stand out from their competitors in the job market.By contrast, for British respondents, no such connection was made between whatis considered as an overbearing parenting style and future educational or careerpossibilities. The parents interviewed here did not connect music with usefulness but rather they focused on the value of music as a family tradition and, to a lesser extent, as something valuable in its own right.One S cottish parent, a chemist by profession, said during the interviews, “We’ve got two learning musical instruments. If we think it’s worthwhile, we try and encourage them, but we wouldn’t force them.” A housewife said, “My son’s just turned five and I want h im to do the guitar because his uncle does it, but it’s up to him.”In some UK f amilies, said Dr. Reeves, “music was even believed to be an obstacle to educational success, or at least secondary to it.”108.What do British parents think of music learning?109. A. Useful for job application. B. Helpful for character building.110. C. Beneficial to further education. D. Worthwhile as a family tradition.111.What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to?112. A. Cultural practice. B. Educational success.113. C. Concerted cultivation. D. School-based musical practice.114.What can be inferred from the text?115. A. The future of American kids is not promising.116. B. American parents hardly link music with success.117. C. Music learning is a personal choice for British kids.118. D. British parents show little concern about education.119.What is the text mainly about?120. A. Reasons for British music preference.121. B. British and American parenting styles in music education.122. C. Americans’ attitude towards music learning.123. D. Differences between British and American parents.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。
