The medical rescue took place in the dark. Regular flights to the South Pole are usually considered too risky between the months of February and October.The Amundsen-Scott station is run by the National Science Foundation. The plane arrived there after a difficult 2,400-kilometer, nine-hour trip from a British base on the Antarctic Peninsula.The National Science Foundation spokesman Peter West said the rescue operation went according to plan. “It was a very challenging operation for the pilots, for everyone who is around to support the pilots, everyone from weather forecasters, to flight followers, all those people. So it was extremely challenging and they have performed extraordinarily well in the face of those challenges.”The National Science Foundation did not release the workers names, nationalities, or medical conditions. The National Science Foundation decided last week to send away at least one person from the station. The station has a doctor and a physicians assistant. They make contact with doctors in the U.S. as needed. But, the worker needed medical care that the stations doctor could not provide. They decided to send away a second worker who was also sick.West said the rescue operation was considered risky because right now Antarctica is always dark and extremely cold. “It is dark there now, because we are into the Antarctic night. It is very cold at the South Pole. The average temperature is minus 60 Celsius, though it can be colder and can be warmer. There is weather to contend with, which is not the same as temperature. Blowing and drifting snow and all of those things.”8. What was the task of this special flight?A. To observe climate in Antarctica. B. To send doctors to Antarctica.C. To save people from Antarctica. D. To deliver equipment to Antarctica.9. What was Peter Wests attitude towards the people involved in this action?A. Neutral.B. Praiseful.C. Optimistic.D. Agreeable10. What do you know about the two workers?A. Their names.B. Their nationalities. C. Their working place.D.Their medical conditions.11. Why were the two workers sent away?A. They couldnt work any longer. B. They were not used to the extreme cold.C. There was no medical care in the station. D . The station doctor couldnt treat their illness.DDid you ever wonder why you have no memory of when you were a baby or very young child? The question of why adults do not remember how they learned to walk or talk has long been a mystery. Researchers in the United States are investigating this question.You know you learned how to walk and talk, but the funny thing is that you dont remember when and how you learned this.The study involved puter-based tests. The tests were designed to work like games. They were given to 32 four-year-olds, 32 six-year-olds and 50 young adults.The tests measured the memory process that helps people recognize differences between experiences. For example: A walk with your dog when you saw a friend, and a different walk without your dog or when you did not see your friend.The second test involved showing the test subjects a number of photographs. The children and young adults taking the test were asked to pare the first group of photos with a second set of pictures.Sometimes, the two sets of photos were the same. But other times, they were different. Remembering differences in objects, such as pictures, is known as pattern separation.The two tests suggest that memory skills are more advanced for six-year-olds than 4-year-olds. That might help explain why adults do not remember when they learned to walk or talk.Memory research is important as doctors try to develop a cure for Alzheimers disease. Persons with the disease suffer memory loss. But memory loss research is not limited to helping Alzheimers patients. It could help with law enforcement officers trying to get more detailed descriptions from witnesses to crimes. It could also help find ways to get better and more reliable information from young victims of crime, such as child abuse by family members or care givers.12. How did the researchers carry out their search?A. By analyzing.B. By paring. C. By discussing. D. By observing.13. Why do adults not remember their early life according to the tests?A. Their memory skills havent developed well enough. B. They dont have the ability of recognizing pictures.C. They dont have any memory at that stage of life. D. Their minds are disturbed by their surroundings.14. What do you know from the last paragraph?A. The cause of memory loss. B. The cure of a serious disease.C. The practical value of memory research. D. The reliable information from young victim.15. What may be the best title for the text?A. When Can We Remember Our Life of Early Years?B. The Most Unforgettable Experiences We Remember.C. The Older We Are, the Better Memory Skills We Have.D. Why Cant We Remember Our First Few Years of Life?第二书（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。Cycling is a good form of sports, here are some tips on how to do it safely and fortably._16_.
