making programs for BBC World Service about one of the hottest topics of our age climate change in Antarctica 南极洲 Monday February 4 Penguins 企鹅 It s a cloudy morning as HMS Endurance sails slowly among the islands towards Port Lockroy one of the most visited places in Antarctica The first things I notice on arrival are penguins hundreds of them Wednesday February 6 Hello London It s time to test some of the technology we have brought with us The key equipment is a small satellite receiver that looks like a large notebook computer I find it amazing that with such light equipment I can get an Internet connection on a moving ship crossing the Antarctic Circle Thursday February 7 Meeting the scientists I woke up to find HMS Endurance sailing Ryder Bay next to the UK s Rothera Research Station I ve a lot to complete today as several science teams have just returned to Rothera I want to catch them for interviews before they move on Tuesday February 12 The deep South We ve spent three days at the sea heading further south Satellite images show a huge block of sea ice The captain has decided that it would take a lot of time to try to reach Turston Island because of it Though we met with some difficulties we were happy to know more about the animals and the geographical situation there which are good for further study 66 The author joined in the adventure experience to A do research on climate change for his programs B learn more about the animals in Antarctica C satisfy his curiosity about Antarctica D realize his dream to work with scientists 67 Why did the captain say

adventure experience A Tiring B Relaxing C Expensive D Worthwhile 69 What can we learn from the text A Ryder Bay is the most dangerous place in Antarctica B The scientists there are pessimistic sometimes C Internet service can be available in Antarctica D Some technology has to be tested in cold weather B Is it a car Is it a plane Actually it s both The first flying automobile is scheduled to take to the air next month If it survives its first flight test the Terrafugia Transition which can transform itself from a two seated car into a plane in 15 seconds is expected to land in showrooms in about 18 months time Its manufacturer says it is easy to keep and run since it uses normal unleaded 无铅的 fuel and fits into a garage Carl Dietrich who runs the Massachusetts based Terrafugia said This is the first really integrated 完 整统一的 design where the wings fold up automatically and all the parts are in one vehicle The Transition developed by former Nasa engineers is powered by the same 100bhp engine on the ground and in the air Terrafugia claims it will be able to fly up to 500 miles on a single tank of petrol at a cruising speed 平 稳行使的速度 of 115mph Up to now however it has been tested only on roads at up to 90mph Dietrich said he had already received 40 orders in spite of an expected retail price of 200 000 32 000 For an airplane that s very acceptable but for a car that s too much he admitted There are still two disadvantages Getting insurance and finding places to take off may be a little difficult The only place in the US in which it is legal to take off from a road is Alaska Dietrich is optimistic He said In the long term we have the potential to make air travel practical for individuals at a price that would meet or beat driving with huge time saved 70 Which of the following is True about the flying car A It can change into a plane in a short time B It is too heavy to move fast C It is driven by two different engines D It runs at the same speed as it flies in the air 71 One of the disadvantages of the flying car is that A it consumes too much oil B it uses a special kind of fuel C it takes much space to take off D it is only allowed to take off in a single place 72 Dietrich believes that A the flying car s cruising speed will build up B the flying car will become affordable in future C the flying car will become the most

C The first flying car meets challenges D World s first flying car prepares to take off C I m just going to get a little work done This is how my mom introduced the idea of getting cosmetic surgery 美容手术 what do you think My mom wanted to know and my reply came out before I really had time to think about Do what makes you happy Mom If that s what you want to do then go for it Now that reality has set in and my mom is recovering from her surgery I ve had time to think about my mother s choice to go under the knife Apart from anxiety about what my mother will actually look like when I see her I have some mixed feelings on the decision When I looked at the pictures of my mother in her younger days I always thought she looked beautiful And even now in her mid 60s she has beautiful skin with very few lines Why would she choose cosmetic surgery to give her the skin she had in her 30s More important than that question though is this Does choosing to have cosmetic surgery mean you 4 give up your choice to grow old gracefully 优雅地 As I thought about this question over the past week I was reminded of a quote from a famous actress Cher If I want to make myself look different that s my business I ve thought of this quote while accounting for my mom s surgery My mother is a strong independent and educated woman What she decides to do with her body is her business As I realize that her decisions are her alone I realize something important It is that independent woman attitude that means you can grow old gracefully My mom is writing the rules she wants and doesn t mind what others may think a lesson she taught me long ago and still models today 74 How did the author react to his mother s decision on cosmetic surgery at first A He disagreed to the decision B He was excited at his mother s idea C He respected his mother s decision D He told his mother to think it over 75 We can infer from paragraph 2 that A the author thought the cosmetic surgery was very difficult B the author s mother had already had cosmetic surgery before C the author was unwilling to see his mother after the cosmetic surgery D the author didn t understand why his mother wanted to have cosmetic surgery 76 The author quoted Cher s words in order to A give an example of women having surgery B offer an explanation for his mother s surgery C show that he liked the famous actress Cher D show that women should be independent 77 What would be the best title for the text A A lesson Learned from Mother B A Son s Deep Love for His Mother C The Rules of Independent Women D A Matter of How to Grow Old Healthily D Although hours of studying burn mental energy both your body and mind need physical exercise to function well But with high school gym class being a thing of the past and no parents around to remind you to get moving how do you stay healthy in college The importance of exercise is nothing new Thomas Jefferson once wrote that to be successfully in academic studies a person should exercise every day for health must not be sacrificed 牺牲 for learning A strong body makes the mind strong A study by the researchers at Tufts University found that students who said they exercised at least 3 days a week were more likely to report a better state of physical health and greater happiness than those who didn t exercise This suggests that the real benefits of exercise may not come right after casual physical exercise but from a long period of regular activity Most experts today do not demand 2 hours of daily exercise The U S Department of Health and Human Service suggests that people get at least 60 minutes of physical activities most days of the week Brisk walking jogging and swimming are easy ways to improve your heart rate and cardiovascular 心 血管的 health Exercise can also help lower blood pressure and deal with stress For women exercise that makes bodies and bones bear weight like walking or running may reduce the risk of osteoporosis 骨质疏 松 later in life You ll likely discover another benefit of exercise as well greater self confidence This may make it easier for you to take part in class and help you perform well in academic and social situations 78 The text is mainly intended for A doctors B students C parents D teachers 79 According to the second paragraph Thomas Jefferson used to A point out the way to success B stress the importance of the health C deny the importance of learning D stress the importance of a strong mind 80 Which of the following ideas does the author NOT agree with A Self confidence is important in social situations B Exercise can benefit people both mentally and physically C Students can build up self confidence by doing exercise D Most experts fail to realize the benefits of daily exercise 第二节
