阅读理解。     There have been many great inventions  that changed the way we live.  The first great invention was
one that is still very important today - the wheel. This invention made it easier to carry heavy things and
to travel long distances.
     In the early 1800s the world started to change.  There was little unknown land in the world. People
began to work to make life better.
     In the 19th century, many great inventions were made. Among them were the cameras and the light
bulbs. There were more great inventions  in the early  20th  century,   such as  the  helicopters in 1907,
movies with sound in 1910 and jet planes in the 1930s. This was also a time when a new material was
first made. Nylon came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear.
     By this time most people have had a very good life. Man has a desire to explore more.  The world
was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made
the first step. Since then other countries, including the United States and China,  have made their steps
into space.
     In 1969 man took his biggest step. An American first walked on the moon.  This  is certainly just a
beginning. New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never dreamed of. 1. This passage mainly talks about ________. A. why cars were very important

     Chinese team first lands on Antarctic icecap peak (南极冰盖最高点)
     A 12-man Chinese team landed on the Antarctic icecap peak on January 18. They are the first people to reach
the peak of Dome A (海穹A). It is 4,039 meters above sea level (海拔).
     The team built a station there to study the changes of the weather, get ice samples (标本) from 150 meters to
200 meters below, and do other studies. So far, the team has got nearly 100-meter long ice samples from a place
about 300 meters under the icecap peak.
     It is the first time that people have been able to get samples from the icecap peak in Antarctica and it is very
important for people to study the weather changes and environmental changes in this area(地区).
     The Chinese scientists have also built a weather study system (系统) at the peak. The system can send out
information about temperature, how strong the wind is, and many other things about the weather.
     The Antarctic icecap makes up (组成) 70% of the earth"s freshwater (淡水). By studying Dome A, scientists
can get the lowest temperature of the earth and other information about the world"s weather changes. We can"t
get this information from other places on the earth because Dome A is the best place for this kind of studies. So
it is very important to land on the peak of Dome A.
1. How many Chinese first landed on the Antarctic icecap peak?
A. 18
B. 12
C. 150
D. 200
2. The team has got about 100-meter long ice samples __________.
A. from 150 meters to 200 meters below
B. from a place about 300 meters below
C. from 200 meters to 250 meters below
D. from a place about 150 meters below
3. They built a weather study system to get __________.
A. the earth"s freshwater

4. From this passage, we can infer (推断): After the Chinese team landed on the Antarctic icecap peak, __________
A. we can go there for holidays.
B. the world"s weather must be better and better.
C. the peak will be the best place for people to live in.
D. our country will do better in the world"s weather research.
