Sir Edmund Hillary is best known for being the first, along with climbing partner Tenzing Norgay, to reach the top of Mount Everest(珠穆朗玛峰). However, he also made many visits to Antarctica(南极洲). In 1957, he led the first trip over ice to the South Pole. Hillary also helped his home country, New Zealand, build a research center on Antarctica, called Scott Base. He visited it in January 2007, when he was 87 years old.

In the 1900s, many people like Hillary saw Antarctica as an exciting place. Scientists are interested in how glaciers(冰川) flow and melt. They also worry that global(全球的) warming is making glaciers melt faster. It has caused a 75 percent increase in ice loss in the last 10 years, according to a new study. Scientists say ice loss could cause water levels around the world to rise faster than expected. Ice is melting faster than expected because of global warming.

Researchers in Antarctica are studying many other subjects too. Some use the cold weather and clear air as a way to study things that affect other parts of the globe. Antarctica has the cleanest air in the world. That allows scientists to compare the air there to the air in polluted places. Antarctica is the darkest place on earth, so it is a great place to study the stars. Some scientists are even studying penguin droppings(企鹅粪). They have developed a new test to learn more about penguins’ diets.

1.What is Sir Edmund Hillary best known for?

A. He was the first to reach the top of Mount Everest.

B. He went to Antarctica many times.

C. He led the first trip to the South Pole.

D. He helped build a research center on Antarctica.

2.The final result of global warming is that ________.

A. there would be no ice

B. water levels could rise faster

C. the climate would become warm

D. the ocean would be polluted

3.Who of the following would NOT be interested in Antarctica?

A. People who are interested in what penguins eat.

B. Researchers who like watching stars.

C. Adventurers who decide to climb Mount Everest.

D. Scientists who are studying the world’s air.

4.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

Robert Ballard was born in 1942. From an early age, he loved the sea. Ballard grew up in Southern California. He spent his free time at the beach near his home. He enjoyed fishing and swimming. He even learned to dive. When Ballard wasn’t at the ocean, he loved reading about it. At age 10, he read 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, a book which describes the undersea adventures of Captain Nemo. Ballard decided he wanted to be like Captain Nemo when he grew up. His parents helped him follow his dream.

Ballard was a hard-working student. He spent many years learning all he could about the ocean. By the age of 28, he was an expert. In 1970, he took a job as a scientist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in Massachusetts. There he studied underwater mountains of the Atlantic Ocean. He came up with ways to predict(预知) volcanoes under the oceans. Working with other scientists, Ballard also found previously (以前) unknown sea animals. These animals lived far below the ocean’s surface, where scientists had believed no animals could live.

By the 1980s, Ballard’s interests changed. He developed unmanned(无人的)vehicles to explore the ocean bottom. His first find, the well-known ship Titanic, made Ballard famous. He was not happy with just one big find, however. He looked for and found other well-known ships. One was the German battleship Bismarck. Another was the U.S.S. Yorktown, an aircraft carrier (航空母舰) that sank during World War II.

Today Robert Ballard is still an underwater explorer. He also heads an organization that encourages students to learn about science. Ballard hopes that some of the students will follow in his footsteps. After all, the world’s huge oceans are mostly unknown. Who knows what remains to be discovered under the sea?

1.What was Ballard’s dream when he was young?

B.thought of ideas to predict underwater volcanoes

C.found some unknown sea animals alone

D.set up an organization to teach students science

3.Which is the correct order of the events mentioned in the text about Ballard?

a. He found the German battleship Bismarck.

b. He read a book about Captain Nemo.

c. He found the famous ship Titanic.

d. He became an expert in science.

A.b-c-d-a B.d-b-c-a

C.b-d-c-a D.d-c-a-b

4.What can we learn from the text?

A. Ballard was greatly influenced by 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

I know what you’re thinking: pizza? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the morning if you want to.

I know lots of women who don’t have breakfast, and they have many different excuses for doing it. Some say they don’t have time, others think they’re “saving” calories(卡路里), still others just don’t like breakfast food.

But eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all.

Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers found that those who don’t have breakfast have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.

So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers-it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow,”I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it…you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.

1.The word “leftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means __________.

A. pizza topped with fruit

B. things left undone

C. food remaining after a meal

D. meals made of vegetables

2.According to the last paragraph, it is important to __________.

A. be careful about what you eat

B. eat something for breakfast

C. heat up food before eating it

D. eat calorie-controlled food

3.What can we infer from the text?

A. Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.

B. Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.

C. There are some easy ways of cooking a meal.

D.Eating vegetables helps save energy.

4.The text is written mainly for those__________.

A. who go to work early B. who go to bed late

C. who eat before sleep D. who want to lose weight

5.What does the author advise the readers to do?

A. Better eat up all the food at dinner in the night.

B. Better eat less in the night.

C. Better eat leftovers in the morning.

D. Better get up late and eat nothing in the morning in order to burn more calories.

It was Monday. Mrs. Smith's dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.

Considering that there was no better way, Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it: “Give my dog half a pound of meat.” Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently: “Take this to the butcher(屠夫). And he's going to give you your lunch today.”

Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher's. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady's handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once.

At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.

The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers.

But, the dog came again at four o'clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher's more surprise, it came for the third time at six o'clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He said to himself, “This is a small dog. Why does Mrs. Smith give it so much meat to eat today?”

A. before he felt sure that the words were really written by Mrs. Smith

B. when he found that the words on the paper were not clear
