    D

    A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.

    Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism---if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海滩), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.

    The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.

    As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey, completed as be lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.

    1.What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?

    A. They were made last week

    B. They showed undersea sceneries

    C. They were found by a cameraman

    D. They recorded a disastrous adventure

    2.Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?

    A. Frank Hurley B. Ernest Shackleton

    C. Robert Falcon Scott D. Caroline Alexander

    3.What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?

    A. Artistic creation

    B. Scientific research

    C. Money making

    D. Treasure hunting

    Whether we’re 2 years old or 62, our reasons for lying are mostly the same: to get out of trouble, for personal gain and to make ourselves look better in the eyes of others. But a growing body of research is raising questions about how a child’s lie is different from an adult’s lie, and how the way we deceive changes as we grow.

    “Parents and teachers who catch their children lying should not be alarmed. Their children are not going to turn out to be abnormal liars,” says Dr. Lee, a director of the Institute of Child Study. The fact that children tell lies is a sign that they have reached a new developmental stage. Dr. Lee conducted a series of studies in which they bring children into a lab with hidden cameras. Children and young adults aged 2 to 17 are likely to lie while being told not to look at a toy, which is put behind the child’s back.

    For young kids, the desire to cheat is big and 90% take a secret look in these experiments. When the test-giver returns to the room, the child is asked if he or she looked secretly. At age 2, about a quarter of children will lie and say they didn’t. By 3, half of kids will lie, and by 4, that figure is 90%, studies show.

    Researchers have found that it’s kids with better understanding abilities who lie more. That’s because to lie you also have to keep the truth in mind, which includes many brain processes, such as combining several sources of information and faking that information. The ability to lie — and lie successfully — is thought to be related to development of brain regions that allow so called “executive functioning”, or higher order thinking and reasoning abilities. Kids who perform better on tests that involve executive functioning also lie more.

    1. What’s the purpose of children telling lies?

    A. To help their friends out.

    B. To get rid of trouble.

    C. To get attention from others.

    D. To create a popular image.

    2. From the second paragraph we can know that ____________.

    A. which factors can reduce lying

    B. why some lie more than others

    C. it is normal for kids to tell lies

    D. how lying changes as kids grow

    3.It can be inferred from the passage that ________________.

    A. children’s lies are the same as adults’

    B. the better kids are, the more they lie

    C. the older kids are, the more they lie

    D. kids always keep the truth in their mind

    4.What is NOT included in the passage?

    A. The reasons why kids tell lies.

    B. Which kind of kids tells more lies.

    C. Experiments about lying of young kids.

    D. What to do with lying children.

    My soccer coach retired in last week. I wanted to do anything special for him at his retirement party. My mum makes the better biscuits in the world, so I decide to ask her for help. Mum taught me some basic step of baking. I insisted on doing most of the baking myself. I thought the biscuits were really well. My only mistake was that I dropped some on the floor after I was packing them up.

    At a party, my coach, with a biscuit in his mouth, asked surprisingly who made them and joked, “I might have to retire again next year just get some more of these biscuits.”

    My favorite picture at the party is of my coach and me enjoy the biscuits with happy laughter!

    阅读下列短文 ，从每题所给的四个选项 （A 、B 、C 和 D ）中 ，选出最佳选项。

    Last year my summer holiday was ruined by my bringing along a modern convenience that was too convenient for my own good: the iPad. Instead of looking at nature, I checked my e-mail. Instead of paddling a small boat, I followed my Twitter feed（推特简讯）. Instead of reading great novels, I stuck to reading four newspapers each morning. I was behaving as if I were still in the office. My body was on vacation, but my head wasn’t.

    So this year I made up my mind to try something different: avoiding the Internet. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, since I’m bad at self-control. But I was determined. I started by giving the iPad to my wife.

    The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past, making my attempts at cheating an experience in defeat. I was trapped, forced to go through with my plan. Largely breaking away from e-mail, Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites, I had few ways to connect to the world except for the radio—and how much radio can one listen to, really? I had to do what I had planned to do all along: read books.

    This experience has had a happy ending. With determination and the strong support of my wife, I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet, realizing finally that it was I, not the iPad, that was the problem. I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi. “I don’t need it,” I said.

    However, as we return to post-vacation life, a harder test begins: Can I continue when I’m back at work?

    There are times when the need to know what’s being said right now is great. I have nointention of giving up my convenience completely. But I hope to resist the temptation to check my e-mail every five minutes, which leads to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two.

    I think a vacation is supposed to help you rest your brain to become more productive. Here I hope this one worked.

    B. His iPad ruined his plan of finishing a great novel.

    D. He felt satisfied that he had stuck to his usual timetable.

    2.What did the author do to keep away from the Internet this year?

    A. He cut off his cellphone signal.

    B. He handed his iPad to his wife.

    C. He refused to cheat in his house.

    D. He listened to the radio most of the time.

    3.When back at work, the author will probably choose to ________.

    A. keep control of when and how to use the Internet

    B. continue to read more and more books

    C. stay away from the Internet for ever

    D. stop checking what is being said right now completely

    4.What is the author’s opinion of a great vacation in the passage?

    A. A vacation is having nothing to do but read all day.

    B. A vacation proves that a life of pleasure is overvalued.

    C. A vacation is a period of time to do whatever one wishes to.

    D. A vacation means a change of pace to make one more creative
