Like Antarctica，the Arctic is a land of ice and snow.Antarctica holds the record for a low temperature reading 125 degrees Fahrenheit below zero.Reading of 85 degrees below zero are common in both the Arctic and Antarctica.Winter temperatures average 30 degrees below zero in the Arctic.At the South Pole the winter average is about 73 degrees below zero.One thing alone makes it almost impossible for men to live in Antarctica and in parts of the Arctic.This one thing is the low temperaturethe killing chill of the far North and the polar South. To survive，men must wear the warmest possible clothing.They must build windproof shelters.They must keep heaters going at all times.Not even for a moment can they be unprotected against the belowzero temperatures. Men have a way of providing for themselves.Polar explorers wrap themselves in warm coats and furs.The cold makes life difficult，but the explorers can stay alive. What about animals？Can they survive？Do we find plants？Do we find life in the Arctic and in Antarctica？Yes，we do.There is life in the oceans.There is life on land.Antarctica，as we have seen，is a cold place indeed.But this has not always been the case.Expedition scientists have discovered that Antarctica has not always been a frozen continent.At one time the weather in Antarctica may have been much like our own.Explorers have discovered coal in Antarctica.This leads them to believe that Antarctica at one time was a land of swamps and forests.Heat and moisture must have kept the trees in the forests alive. 1What does the underlined word“chill”probably mean?

considered spelling unimportant as a basic skill.There are，however，quite different ideas about how to teach it，or how much priority it must be given over general language development and writing ability.The problem is，how to encourage a child to express himself freely in writing without holding him back with spelling.If spelling becomes the only point of his teachers interest，clearly a bright child will be likely to “play_safe”He will write only words within his spelling range.Thats why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience：“This work is terrible！There are far too many spelling mistakes.” It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupils technical abilities in writing，but it was also a sad thing for the teacher who had omitted(略过) to read the composition，which contained some beautiful expressions of the childs deep feelings.The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the mistakes，but if his priority had concentrated on the childs ideas，an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more hope to seek improvement.36Teachers differ in their opinions about_.Athe difficulties in teaching spellingBthe role of spelling in general language developmentCthe importance of the basic writing skillsDthe necessity of teaching spelling37The underlined expression “play safe” in Paragraph 2 probably means_.Awrite carefullyBdo as teachers sayCuse dictionaries frequentlyDavoid using words one is not sure of38Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that_.Astudents will be able to express their ideas more freelyBteachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakesCstudents will have more trust in writingDstudents will learn to spell words correctly39The writer seems to think that the teachers judgment on that sensitive piece of writing is_.Areasonable BunfairCfoolish Dcareless40The major point discussed in the passage is_.Athe importance of developing writing skillsBthe importance of spellingCthe correct way of marking compositionDthe relationship between spelling and the content of a composition36B本文是议论文，but，however，yet等连接词前面往往为他人或一般的观点和看法，连接词后才是作者的观点和看法。本题可从第一段however后面的内容得知。37D从此句的下句可知。38A从第一段最后一句及第二段可知。39B从最后一段中的关键词shocked及信息词but 可知作者的态度。40D由第一段最后一句可知D项正确。【广东省2012届高三考前冲刺卷(二)】DMy life suffered a lot in summer five years ago.My father died in a car accident，leaving my mother，my two younger brothers and I alone.At that time，I was a senior high school student.After my fathers funeral，I had no choice but to drop out of school and work in a factory.I really wanted to return to school and wanted to go to college，but I couldnt.I only hoped to bring up my two young brothers.Life was not easy for me，for I cant afford their tuition even if I worked from day to night without stopping.Without my fathers protection，I thought I was a slave to the fate.Later on，something changed my life.I still remember that it was a rainy day.I put myself in the rain and walked slowly in the street.Suddenly the rain stopped！I raised my head and

yearsrunning，I did well and my family condition turned better little by little.Later I returned to school and succeeded in my entrance to university.Life is like this.When you are in rainy days in
