Their leader was Navy commander Robert E.
9、 Peary. He photographed the other men as they held up flags. One of them was Matthew Henson, the only African American explorer of the Arctic at that time. The other four were Inuit hunters.Many explorers had tried to reach the pole but Peary surpassed (超越) them through clever planning. He had made
10、four expeditions (远征) into the Arctic. Each time, he learned how to plan better for the next trip. He also gave credit to Henson, who had joined him on three other Arctic expeditions. The team needed the skills and knowledge of the Inuit, and Henson was fluent in their language. Also, “He is probabl
11、y a better dog-driver than any other man except the best Inuit hunters,” Peary said.The travel was hard. Biting winds blew, and temperatures dropped to minus 60 degrees Fahrenheit. “Freezing of the whole front part of the face is an ordinary occurrence,” Henson said, “The skin keeps peeling off and
12、freezing until the face is like raw beef.” They could lose fingers or toes. In fact, Peary walked with a “slide-like stride” because he had lost nine toes on an earlier trip.They had only 50 to 55 days to complete the last leg of the journey before spring would melt the ice. On April 2, the team das
13、hed for the North Pole, driving 18 to 20 hours a day. “Forced marches all the time,” Henson recalled, “But it was the only way to make it.” Exhausted, Peary rode a sledge instead of driving one. Henson set such a fast pace that Peary warned him not to work the men and dogs to death. “I know, Command
14、er,” Henson replied. “But we got to make it.” They did make it. They reached safety in 16 days and secured their place in history.21Whats the passage mainly about?AAn ambitious commander.BA successful expedition.CA challenging plan.DA painful experience.22What advantages did Peary have over other ex
15、plorers?AHe had confidence in taking expeditions.BHe had similar experience when in the Navy.CHe had well-arranged plans and skillful teammates.DHe had good luck to go through the extreme weather.23What message does Pearys story convey?AEverything comes with a price.BHe who laughs last laughs best.C
16、Its rewarding to take adventures.DWhere there is a will there is a way.We all have them in our livesMs. Late and Mr. Early. They live among us just to try our patience. They cant seem to get out of their own way and arrive on time. Its a problem, and they know it, but thats how they roll.Ive ever be
17、en in the room with my bestie Tinkerbell and said, “Its time to go.” She agreed. Then, she turned around and ordered a T-shirt she had seen online, checked her email, folded her laundry and searched for her purse while I was waiting by the door.But as exasperating as it is to have Ms. Late in your l
18、ife, its equally painful to have Mr. Early.My husband Hubby is in this category. He will time things to the minute. “The movie is at four. We have five stops to make before that, so estimating 15 to 20 minutes per stop, not counting traffic or unforeseen circumstances like a flat tire, we should lea
19、ve after breakfast.”Being too early or too late is a suffering, but it never seems to bother the person himself. It only affects the poor ones in their company who just do their best to show up when theyre supposed to.Id like to know how early in life this behaviour came into being. How does our int
20、ernal clock leave one person unconcerned about time passing, and the other constantly aware of it? Look at my kids. My son is very laid back, and he didnt arrive until nine days after his due date. My daughter, a spitfire (烈性子), arrived before her Christmas Day due date, so maybe its nature from the
21、 very beginning.The one thing that does happen is that this behaviour has become part of the charm of the person you love. You cant imagine Mr. Early ever being late or Ms. Late ever showing up early. As long as they show up.24Why does the author mention Tinkerbell and Hubby?ATo make comparisons.BTo
22、 provide examples.CTo explain a concept.DTo introduce the topic.25What can we infer about the author from this text?AShe hates Mr. Early and Ms. Late.BShe desires to change Mr. Early and Ms. Late.CShe shows understanding to Mr. Early and Ms. Late.DShe speaks highly of Hubbys ability to time things a
23、ccurately.26What does the underlined word “exasperating” mean?AAnnoying.BBoring.CConfusing.DWorrying.27Whats the authors purpose in writing this text?ATo explain the importance of being on time.BTo teach people how to stick to the schedule.CTo share her views on Mr. Early and Ms. Late.DTo discuss th
24、e origin of Mr. Early and Ms. Late.An island spider decides which of its three kinds of webs to make depending on the location. Spiders usually make only one kind of web, but the Wendilgarda galapagensis species-found only on Cocos Island, off the western coast of Central Americacan make three diffe
25、rent webs.High above ground it makes “aerial” webs attached to nearby stems and leaves. Nearer to the ground it makes “land” webs with long horizontal strands (缕) secured to branches and with vertical strands fixed to the ground. Finally, over pools it makes “water” webs that are a bit like the land
26、 webs, but with the vertical strands attached to the water surface itself.Darko Cotoras at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco wondered whether this flexibility indicates that the spider is undergoing speciation (物种形成), branching into three species, each with unique behaviours and ex
27、ploiting a different food source. So with his colleagues he ran genetic analyses on 142 of the spiders.To their surprise, the results suggested they all belonged to the same species. This means they havent genetically diversified since they arrived at the volcanic island up to 2 million years ago.Th
28、e researchers then marked the 2-millimetre-long spiders and moved them to different locations on the island to track their behaviour. For example, they took water-web-making spiders away from water sources and placed them in high bushes nearby. Again, the researchers were surprised to see that the s
29、piders often built a new web with the architecture suited to the new location.“They show an unusually wide variety in habitat choice, web design, and construction behavior.” Cotoras says, “This flexibility probably helps these animals live on such a small, remote island.”28What can we learn from the
30、 text?ACocos Island spiders can only live on remote islands.BCocos Island spiders came into being two million years ago.CCocos Island spiders have branched into three different species.DCocos Island spiders make diverse webs according to the environment.29Which of the following is the best title for
31、 the text?AA Master of Different WebsBA Secret to webs DesigningCThe Mystery of Genetic SpeciationDThe Survival Skills of Cocos Island spiders30Where is the text most probably from?AA biology textbook.BA survival guidebook.CAn academic paper.DA science magazine.五、七选五On February 1, 2003, the Space Sh

Accident investigators found fault with a Powerpoint slide presented by NASA engineers. _31_ The NASA engineers failed to make their message stand out. In fact, it is a challenge many presenters face, but there are ways to overcom
33、e it.You need to tell your audience why they should listen as quickly as possible. A hook can help you do this. _32_ Jamie Oliver, for example, started his TED Talk in 2010 with this fact: “Sadly, in the next 18 minutes, while we chat, four Americans will be dead from the food they eat.”_33_ Most pe
34、ople structure presentations by building up to their strongest point instead of leading with it. But an audiences attention is limited and with this approach, you will have lost them before you get to your key point.In order to keep your audience attentive, use the power of one simple word “you” thr
35、oughout your presentation. _34_ Instead, try “ We have 45 offices worldwide, which you can access for your business needs. We intend to give you a key contact in each country if you choose to do business with us.”Make your data feel real by telling stories that back it up, rather than just presentin
36、g figures and concepts. People relate easily and emotionally to stories, and stories make facts more digestible. _35_ The best speakers reach into their bag of stories and bring their presentations to life.AAs a speaker, you should appear more audience-friendly.BThe hook can be a question, a shockin
37、g statement, or a video.COnce you have your audience hooked, you must keep them engaged.DStop saying, “We have 45 offices worldwide with 10,000 staff members.”EThe key information was buried so deep in the presentation that it was considered useless.FThe success of the presentation is determined by
38、your ability to put information in a logical way.GBecause of this, the audience can understand and also remember the points contained in them more easily.六、完形填空It was the harvest season.
