But 2007 marked the beginning of the International Polar Year (IPY), a two-year-old activity of science projects that aimed to show how important the poles are to the health of our planet. During the IPY, which lasted until March 2009, thousands of researchers from more than 60 countries conducted more than 200 projects and expeditions to both the top and bottom of the world. In recent years, the polar regions have begun to change severely as a result of global warming. Temperatures there are rising faster than anywhere else on Earth. As a result, the ice and snow in these regions are melting at record-setting rates. One result is that sea levels are rising around the world, putting animals and people at risk. Only by studying the poles, say IPY researchers, can we find ways to protect them and ourselves. Both the Arctic and the Antarctic are cold and remote, but the two regions have important differences. For one thing, the Arctic is an ice-covered ocean surrounded by land. The Antarctic, on the other hand, is a continent of ice-covered land surrounded by water.Most polar studies have focused on the Arctic, and that is where scientists have observed the most remarkable changes in the ice. During a typical year, Arctic ice expands in the winter and shrinks in the summer. But recently, the amount of ice covering the ocean has been steadily dropping in both seasons.24The goal of the International Polar Year is _.Ato provide practical theory to further develop this distant areaBto state that the poles are closely connected with a healthy earthCto appeal to more scientists to do research on the polesDto discover more mysteries unknown to man25What is the main factor that has caused the changes of the poles?AThe increasing number of animals.BThe development of the poles.CThe melting of the poles.DThe rising temperature.26What unusual phenomenon worries the scientists?A. The ice of the Arctic decreases faster in summer.BThe ice of the Arctic increases less than in the past.CThe ice of the Arctic even melts in winter.DThe changes in the Arctic are more serious.27Which of the following might be the best tile of the passage?AEarths Poles Interest Scientists BThe Animals of Earths Poles Are In DangerCThe Temperature of Earths Poles DThe Shocking Discoveries in Earths PolesCProfessor Barry Wellman of the University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way many North Americans interact these days. The term is “networked individualism”. This concept is not easy to understand because the words seem to have opposite meanings. How can we be individuals and be networked at the same time? You need other people for networks. Here is what Professor Wellman means. Before the invention of the Internet and e-mail, our social networks included live interactions with relatives, neighbors, and friends. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time. A recent research study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project showed that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced this person-to- person interaction. However, a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say thats a good thing. Why? In the past, many people were worried that the Internet separated us from reality and caused us to spend too much time in the imaginary world of the computer. But the Pew study discovered that the opposite is true. The Internet connects us with more real people than expected helpful people who can give advice on careers, medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important role in helping them make major life decisions. Thanks to the computer, we are able to be alone and together with other people at the same time!28. The underlined phrase “networked individualism” probably means that by using computers people _. A. work individually on the InternetB. can both remain independent and connect with peopleC. have their own ideas, interests and characteristicsD. Show differences from other people in their working way29. Before the invention of the Internet, how did many people interact socially?A. Surf the Internet. B. Communicate face to face.C. Communicate in real time. D. Consult experts.30. It can be inferred from the Pew study that _. A. people have been separated from each other by using computers B. the Internet makes people addicted to the virtual reality and feel very lonely C. there is no person-to-person communication at all D. the Internet has become truly helpful in their real life31. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. Were Alone Together on the Internet. B. Were Communicating on the Internet. C.Were Alone on the Internet. D. Were in the Imaginary World of the Internet.DA funny thing happened between Chinas first female Nobel Prize winner, Tu Youyou, giving her acceptance speech in Sweden and that speech reaching her home country: Two entirely different versions appeared, and the fake one became a hit. Guess which version is genuine? The one that is matter-of-fact tells about the discovery of artemisinin(青蒿素), or the one with extreme literary style, complete with her father explaining the origin of her given name and poetic lines such as, “I like tranquility(宁静), tranquil as the leaves of sweet wormwood(蒿草).”Most readers were so touched by the literary version that they were left in tears. However, they just forgot that Tu is not a woman of letters, but one of science. It was totally made up by someone who obviously has great literary talent, but could not fathom the inner life of a scientist. I dont know who made up the Tu speech, or for what purpose. It does not strike me as funny. Fortunately, no mainstream media seemed to have been fooled. Yet the fake one has probably been shared more than the real one because it played to the Chinese stereotype(固定形式) of what such a speech should be.Chinas cyberspace(信息空间) is full of educational and uplifting quotes, and quite a lot of them are made up. There is a joke that says the United States spying network collected and examined all the Internet data in China and found that the Chinese are addicted to such chicken soup, including that from untrustworthy sources.32. The reason why many readers were moved to tears by the fake speech is that _. A. it was based on Tus real life B. the readers knew about the background of Tus given name C. her scientific achievement appeals to most readers D. it was literally beautiful33. What does the underlined word “letters” mean in the fourth paragraph? A. Mails or written messages addressed to a person or organization. B. Characters in an alphabet that represent speech sounds. C. Professional knowledge, ability, or learning about literature D. Certificate or license.34. Why has the fake speech been more popular than the real one? A. Because it was the Chinese stereotype. B. Because many mainstream media were fooled. C. Because it was amusing. D. Because the writer understood the inner life of a scientist.35. The purpose of the article is to _ . A. prove that Chinese are absorbed in fake news B. tell us a common phenomenon that there are a lot of fake news on the Internet C. prove that Chinese scientists only show interest in science. D. find out the author of the fake speech第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。When the musical sound rings out,_36_.
