In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海难), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarcticas Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four panions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly mercial effort. Scotts last journey, pleted as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the worlds imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.25. What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley？A. They were made last weekB. They showed undersea sceneriesC. They were found by a cameramanD. They recorded a disastrous adventure26. Who reached the South Pole first according to the text？A. Frank Hurley B. Ernest ShackletonC. Robert Falcon Scott D. Caroline Alexander27. What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage？A. Artistic creation B. Scientific researchC. Money making D. Treasure huntingCPhiladelphia,Pennsylvania is Americas fifth largest city. Once a major American colonial city, it is the home of Americas first library, its first hospital, and its first zoo. Now it is also the first US city to be named a World Heritage City. On November 6, xx, Philadelphia joined more than 260 other cities that have been recognized for their influence on the world. These cities include Paris, France, Florence, Italy and Cairo Egypt.“Today marks the start of a new and exciting chapter in the history of Philadelphia ” remarked Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter when the announcement was made. “As a World Heritage City, Philadelphia is being officially recognized on the global stage for its wealth of contributions to the world.”To be named a World Heritage City, a city must be home to a UNESCO World Heritage site. UNESCO World Heritage sites are selected for their universal value and significance. For Philadelphia, the site is Independence Hall.Independence Hall is where two of the most important documents in US historythe Declaration of Independence and the US Constitutionwere adopted. The Declaration of Independence, approved on July 4 1776, united the 13 former British colonies and declared them independent from British rule. The US Constitution, signed in 1787, established the Americandemocratic system of government. Democracy is a system of government in which the people elect their leaders. The Constitution later spelled out the basic freedoms American citizens have.Philadelphia Deputy Mayor Alan Greenberger says the citys selection as a World Heritage City also reflects its educational, cultural, and economic achievements. The city is home to dozens of colleges and universities, and many museums, such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art. “Philadelphia has rightfully earned its place as one of the greatest cities in the world.” Greenberger says.28. We can learn from Paragraph 1 that Philadelphia _.A. is known for many Americas firsts B. has been famous as a World Heritage CityC. has the best American hospital D. has contributed a lot to the global economy29.

Philadelphia Wins Global RespectDIn the depths of the French Guianese rainforest, there still remain unusual groups of indigenous(土著的) people. Surprisingly, these people live largely by their own laws and their own social customs. And yet, people in this area are in fact French citizens because it has been a colony of the French Republic since 1946. In theory, they should live by the French law. However, their remote locations mean that the French law is often ignored or unknown, thus making them into an interesting area of “lawlessness” in the world.The lives of these people have finally been recorded thanks to the effects of a Frenchman form Paris called Gin. Gin spent five months in early xx exploring the most remote corners of this area, which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest, with half its population of only 250,000 living in its capital, Cayenne.“I have a special love for the French Guianese people. I have worked there on and off for almost ten years,” says Gin. “Ive been able to keep firm friendships with them. Thus I have been allowed to gain access to their living environment. I dont see it as a lawless land. But rather I see it as an area of freedom.”“I wanted to show the audience a photographic record touching upon the uncivilized life,” continues Gin. “I prefer to work in black and white, which allows me to show different specific worlds more clearly.”His black-and-white pictures present a world almost lost in time. These pictures show people seemingly pushed into a world that they were unprepared for. These local citizens now have to balance their traditional self-supporting hunting lifestyle with the lifestyle offered by the modern French Republic, which brings withitnot only necessary state welfare, but also alcoholism, betrayal and even suicide.32.Why does the author feel surprised about the indigenous people in French Guiana?A. They seldom follow the French law.B. They often ignore the Guianese law.C. They are separated from the modern world.D. They are both Guianese and French citizens.33.Gin introduced the special world of the indigenous Guianese as _.A. a tour guideB. a geographerC. a film directorD. a photographer34.What is Gins attitude towards the lives of the indigenous Guianese?A. Cautious.B. Doubtful.C. Uninterested.D. Appreciative.35.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A. The modern French lifestyle.B. The self-supporting hunting.C. The uncivilized world.D. The French Republic.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5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。How to Have a Successful Teenage LifeEveryone wants to succeed in their life, dont they?
