The team has just finished a second year of work on the 1,020-mile highway. "The road is the greatest single footprint of activity we"ve seen in the Antarctic (南极洲)," said Alan Hemmings, an Australian environmentalist.
The highway will provide a new way for supplies to be trekked (拉, 搬) across the earth on tractor-pulled sleds (雪橇). This method will use a lot less fuel than an aircraft, the current (当前的) way that scientists and supplies reach the Amundsen-Scott Base, a U.S. research station in the South Pole. The highway will also allow for equipment that is too big for planes to carry to be brought to Antarctica．Even with these benefits, there is one disadvantage—a round trip on the road will be 30 days, compared to a few hours by plane.
Making this 20-foot-wide road isn"t easy, and it takes a lot of time. The crew (工作队) has been working on the road for two summers, when it"s warmer and easier to work with the ice. It probably won"t be completed until 2006.
Crevasses (裂缝), or cracks, in the land often make the construction difficult. Crevasses are kind of like pot holes that form when surface ice is stretched．This can be very dangerous, especially when the crevasses are hidden under a layer (层) of snow and can"t be seen.
"Last year it took us three months to go three miles across a crevasse field, full of dangerous, hidden crevasses," said the project"s manager, John Wright. Each year, more crevasses appear and they have to be filled with snow and ice so the road is safe for travel. The road will also be lined with green flags so travelers know where the safe surface is.
小题1: It will probably take ______ years to complete the ice highway.
| A．2 | B．4 | C．6 | D．8 |
| A．giving supplies to the research station in the South Pole |
| B．taking scientists to the South Pole |
| C．taking travelers to a tour of Antarctic |
| D．bringing huge equipment to Antarctic |
Pole?
| A．30. | B．34. | C．68. | D．88. |
| A．Other crevasses won’t appear if a crevasse has been filled. |
| B．Many new crevasses will form after a crevasse has been filled. |
| C．Travelers can drive their sleds on the ice highway freely. |
| D．There will be less danger if the crevasses are covered by snow. |
答案
小题1:B
小题2:C
小题3:C
小题4:B
解析
小题1:数字计算题。从文章中的The crew has been working on the road for two summers,… It probably won"t be completed until 2006. 计算得出。
小题2:细节归纳题。文中提到的此条“冰上高速公路”主要用途是…provide a new way for supplies; allow for equipment … to be brought to Antarctica，所以C项不包括在“用途”之内。
小题3:数字计算题。解这道计算题要抓住文中的两个数据the 1,020-mile highway ；a round trip on the road will be 30 days，尤其关键的是a round trip指“来回”，单程当然为15天，理解了这些数据，计算就容易了。
小题4:细节推断题。从文章的最后两段可以推断。

Today, more and more schools are reaching out to involve parents, community members and businesses（工商企业）to help shape a child"s future.
Parents need to be involved in their children"s education in many ways. Helping children with homework and studying, going on a field trip, teaching a craft（手工艺）or coaching a child"s sports team are all great ways to be involved with your child"s education. And don"t forget to communicate with teachers ---- they need and respect your input. Studies show that children learn more and schools function better when parents and schools work together. It"s important to stay in touch with your child"s education all through his or her school career.
Communities can help children create and achieve new goals. Help with homework, read to a child, coach a children"s team, or provide emotional（情感上的）support. Help solve problems and build self-esteem（自尊心）. Kids need role models and advisers can be role models by sharing their experiences and wisdom.
Businesses can also help shape our children"s future. Invite a class from your local school to visit your workplace. You may be providing a glimpse that opens a new world of possibilities. Show students what goes on during a typical day. Give a mini course for students: how to use a computer; how products are made; how machinery works. You may have a developing electrician, teacher, nurse, or even a newspaper reporter on your hands.
It really does take an entire village to raise a child．So share the responsibility（职责）-- and the joy -- of bringing a child to his or her full potential（潜能）.
小题1:The implied advice in the proverb "It takes an entire village to raise a child." is that ______.
| A．All the people in a village should give food to a child. |
| B．Schools, parents, and other organizations should share the responsibility of shaping a child"s future. |
| C．Children should be brought up in the village where they were born. |
| D．Schools should be set up in the village where a child was raised. |
| A．parents and members in organizations |
| B．teachers and students |
| C．newspaper reporters and developing electricians |
| D．education experts and government officials |
| A．parental involvement | B．community activities |
| C．business training | D．school teaching |
| A．Parents play an important part in children’s education. |
| B．Communities have not a bit effect on the way to new and high ideal. |
| C．Educating a child well demands of the work not only from school but from other organizations. |
| D．Businesses may arrange some training courses for students. |
But something is happening to the children. Up until the age of two they develop normally. Their proud parents watch and smile as they take their first steps and speak their first words. But then everything seems to go backwards. The children become locked into their own small world, unable to communicate at all.
They call it the “curse of Silicon Valley,” but the medical name for the condition is autism（孤独症）. It used to be thought that autism was a mental illness. Now doctors are sure that it is a disease transmitted genetically (遗传). It seems that the people leading the communications revolution are having children who cannot communicate at all.
But even the parents have trouble communicating. Asperger’s Syndrome (综合症) is connected with autism. People who have it are highly intelligent and often brilliant with numbers or systems but have no social skills, which makes Asperger’s sufferers into excellent computer professionals. Unfortunately, many of the children of two Asperger’s parents in Silicon Valley seem to be developing serious autism.
There is little anyone can do. And there is no cure in sight. Some argue that no cure should be found．“It may be that autistics are essentially (本质上) different from normal people, but that these differences make them valuable for the evolution (进化) of the human race,” says Dr Kirk Wilhelm of the University of California．“To remove the genes (基因) for autism could be terrible.
It seems that the children of Silicon Valley are paying the price of genius.
小题1:A person who has autism usually _____.
| A．has difficulty in speaking | B．loses communication skills |
| C．has difficulty in working | D．hates people around |
| A．The children are brought up in Silicon Valley. |
| B．Autism is just a result of working in Silicon Valley. |
| C．The children suffer from autism due to their parents in Silicon Valley. |
| D．Autism makes the children in Silicon Valley unable to communicate. |
| A．autism cannot be cured | B．autism isn’t a disease |
| C．harm will be done to the children | D．autism is necessary in some way |
| A．It’s a pity that they cannot have a normal life. |
| B．They are the pride of the human race. |
| C．They are sure to have a bright future. |
| D．It’s likely that they will have a normal life. |
When you first learned to read, you would say the word out loud and sound it out．Then you might whisper the word because people can become annoyed when you read aloud．The stage you are now at is saying the word in your head．Most people tend to read this way．Saying the word in your head will cut your reading speed tremendously (极大的)．
How do you calculate your reading speed? The speed is measured by how many words per minute you can read．Get some reading material, preferably a book．Find out how many words are on the page．Time yourself one minute．Start your timer and start reading．When the timer sounds, stop at once．If you counted 500 words on the page and you read half of the page, then you are probably reading at 250 words per minute．
The first thing about speed-reading is looking at the word and recognizing it．Don"t say the word in your mind, just look at it and recognize its appearance．Later you will recognize groups of four words or more to increase your speed．This is the first and most important step in speed-reading．
The next step is technique．As with any other skill, speed-reading requires technique．You should first be sitting up straight with your book on a horizontal (水平的) surface, such as a table or desk．Next, should be able to see the entire page．This is necessary if you want to recognize clumps of words．Lastly, you should be focused．It"s hard to read a lot of noise．Find a quiet place to read．This will help your understand of the text．You need something to guide your eyes while reading．Then right, you should use your hand, Remember when you were little, you would read using your finger．That is a great technique, only now you"re using your hand to underline each line．Move your finger smoothly across page．No need to go rush , start our slow．Keep your eyes focused on words as you recognize them while using your hand as a guide．This will increase you speed．
The third step is practice．Practice makes perfect．Set time intervals(间歇)．Read using different techniques, but make sure you understand what you"re reading．
小题1:Which of the following statements is true according to the text?
| A．Now there is limited information than ever before． |
| B．Now conditions ask people to use less time to know more information． |
| C．Now people can read what they like． |
| D．The less you read, the more time you will spend． |
| A．What speed-reading is． |
| B．Why we need speed-reading． |
| C．Now it is much information time． |
| D．People should practice speed-reading in different kinds of ways． |
a．Ask for some techniques．
b．Look at many words and recognize them．
c．Practice more．
| A．c,a,b | B．c,b,a | C．b,a,c | D．a,c,b |
| A．a person should devote his attention to it while reading |
| B．your feelings will be hurt while reading |
| C．a person should smooth away difficulties while he reads |

Getting away for a short time always seems like a great idea — until you have to pack. But packing won’t be a problem if you keep in mind one simple rule. Whether you’ll be sleeping overnight at a friend’s house, or visiting a relative for a week, the rule is: pack light. Here are some tips to help you pack.
Many years ago my student asked me the question, "Mrs. Kindred, why do you teach?" Without taking time to reflect, I answered, "Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone"s life." Even though I was sincere, that wasn"t a very good answer and my student didn"t let it slide.
"Let me get this straight," he said, "You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?" He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused. I"m one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty, or swift.
Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder. On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach:
It"s in my blood. My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990. She instilled(逐渐灌输) in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors.
Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore. You can"t have ripples without a "stone." Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and that"s what I strive to do.
I genuinely love teenagers. I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes on the road of life, I want to do so. If they"ll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too.
Teaching isn"t for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice.
小题1:Why did the student continue to ask the question about the writer’s being a teacher?
| A．Because he thought her answer was unbelievable. |
| B．Because the writer was insincere. |
| C．Because the student was naughty. |
| D．Because the answer was difficult to understand. |
| A．Stupid. | B．Honest. | C．Conservative. | D．Polite. |
| A．The writer’s mother has the greatest influence on her. |
| B．The writer’s answer made the student confused. |
| C．In the writer’s opinion, some people in the world are unfit to teach. |
| D．The writer annoyed the student who asked the question. |
| A．the writer was also a good teacher in school |
| B．the writer often plays with her students beside a pond |
| C．the writer devotes herself to teaching and her students |
| D．the writer often accompanies the students on their way home |
| A．A student’s silly question. | B．A good teacher who likes students. |
| C．A confused student. | D．The reason why I teach. |
