North Pole Apart from one experienced female guide the other women were all ordinary people who had never done anything like this in their lives before They managed to survive in an environment which had defeated several very experienced men during the same time period The women set off as soon as they were ready Once on the ice each woman had to ski along while dragging a sledge 雪橇 weighing over 50 kilos This would not have been too bad on a smooth surface but for long distances the Arctic ice is pushed up into huge piles two or three metres high and the sledges had to be pulled up one side and carefully let down the other so that they didn t become damaged The temperature was always below the freezing point and sometimes strong winds made walking while pulling so much weight almost impossible It was also very difficult for them to put up their tents when they stopped each night In such conditions the women were making good progress if they covered fourteen or fifteen kilometres a day But there was another problem Part of the journey was across a frozen sea with moving water underneath the ice and at some points the team would drift 漂流 back more than five kilometres during the night That meant that after walking in these very severe conditions for ten hours on one day they had to spend part of the next day covering the same ground again Furthermore each day it took three hours from waking up to setting off and another three hours every evening to set up the camp and prepare the evening meal So how did they manage to succeed They realized that they were part of a team If any one of them didn t pull her sledge or get her job done she would endanger the success of the whole expedition 探险 Any form of selfishness could result in the efforts of everyone else being completely wasted so personal feelings had to be put to one side At the end of their journey the women agreed that it was mental effort far more than physical fitness that got them to the North Pole 63 What was so extraordinary about the expedition A There was no one to lead it B The women did not have any men with them 5 8 C It was a new experience for most of the women D The women had not met one another before 64 It was difficult for the women to cover 15 kilometres a day because A they got too tired B the ice was moving C they kept getting lost D the temperatures were too low 65 What is the main message of the text A Motivation and teamwork achieve goals B Women can do anything they want C It is sometimes good to experience difficult conditions D Arctic conditions are very severe 66

sale of foods from cloned animals First however the publlc wiIl have ninety days to comment on three proposed documents On December 28 th the F D A released a long report called a draft risk assessment along with two policy documents The agency says it must receive comments by April second The F D A seemed ready to act several years ago but an advisory committee called for more research

most food from cloning is expected to come not from clones themselves but from their sexually reproduced offspring It says clones are expected to be used mostly as breeding animals to spread good qualities Public opinion studies show most Amerlcans do not 11ke the idea of food from cloned animals But this research also shows the public knows little about cloning Cloning differs from genetic engineering A cell tak from a so called donor animal is grown into an embryo 胚胎 in the laboratory Next the embryo is placed into the uterus 子宫 of a female animal If the process is successful the pregnancy reaches full term and a genetic copy of the donor animal is born 67 From the passage we can conclude A cloned adult animals are sate to eat B foods from cloned animals are popular in America
