But it has the clearest and cleanest air. Amazingly, in this place, the sun sometimes hangs even in the midnight sky. This place is Antarctica (南极洲): the coldest, windiest and harshest (恶劣的) place on the Earth.As the worlds least-known place, Antarctica is of great interest to scientists around the world. In 1983, China joined the Antarctic Treaty (南极条约). The treaty made Antarctica a peaceful place for member countries to do scientific research. During 30 years, China has sent many scientists to Antarctica. They mostly look at the resources under the icy land and do research about climate change and marine (海洋的) biology.Antarctica is a place with fantastic views. However, life there is very hard. Food is one of the biggest problems. Frozen (速冻) food which can be heated easily is peoples daily food. Fresh vegetables are hard to grow in the cold weather. Therefore, scientists often eat dried or canned vegetables.Sleep is also troublesome. In Antarctica, summer lasts from November to March. During this period, Antarctica points to the sun and receives sunlight 24 hours a day. In order to get some sleep, scientists cover the windows with black plastic cloth to create “night”.Working in Antarctica is dangerous, especially when meeting gale-force (七级以上的) winds. Sometimes the wind is even stronger than a typhoon. It can easily blow people away. So there are ropes that connect buildings of some research stations. People can hold these ropes to keep their balance in forceful winds.Whats more, communicating with others is difficult. Without cables and Internet in some research stations, two-way radios are the only tools to communicate. If people want to say hello to friends and relatives, they can use satellite phones.Although it is challenging to work in Antarctica, scientists passion to learn about this mysterious land will never end. It is hopeful that one day they will step every corner of this icy land.（1）From Paragraph 1, we learn that the Antarctica _.A . is covered with snow and iceB . rains heavily from time to timeC . has little wind most of the timeD . has sunshine during every night（2）Scientists from China go to Antarctica to _.A . find out ways to control water pollutionB . research climate change and marine biologyC . grow plants and vegetables in special conditionD . stop the hunters from killing the marine biology（3）In order to sleep well in Antarctica, the scientists have to _.A . wear more clothes to keep warmB . cover the windows with black clothC . connect research stations with ropesD . eat more fried and canned vegetables（4）We can replace (替换) the underlined word passion in the last paragraph with .A . strong loveB . full preparationC . pleasant introductionD . amazing imagination（5）The passage is mainly about .A . view of the AntarcticaB . exploring the AntarcticaC . how to survive in the AntarcticaD . climate changes of the Antarctica3. （6分） “Its 8:15 on a Sunday morning,” said the officer, Tidwell, “and this sort of thing seems an unlikely adventure(冒险) at such a time.

Then, one by one, the teacher called our names.As each paper was given back to the correct student, the front of the answer paper would always be turned to face the ground and the paper itself would be slightly folded (折叠) to prevent anyone from seeing.In fact, folding each test paper is a way to make sure that each student sees only his or her own scores. The scores are seen as private information not to be announced or shown to others. As a way to keep the students score records secret, each student is given an online account (帐号) with which to check his or her grades posted on the official school website.Protecting students private information always comes first in US schools that want to free students from unnecessary pressure. Academic (学业上的) reports are guarded closely to prevent poor academic grades from damaging a students dignity and reputation (有损学生的尊严和声誉), which are for himself or herself only.However, some insist that although students feelings and self-dignity are easily hurt, they cannot be forever protected. They say that school also teach their students to make themselves stronger in mind, and the classroom should show the reality of competition in society. Scores that everyone can see might better encourage students to work harder to be better than others.Protecting of students privacy (隐私) in US schoolsThe writers _After the bell rang, its _of students to sit and wait for theirscores for a test in Biology.The teacher called students names and handed out the papers.He received test papers facing down and folded several times.Other way takenEach student is even _with an online account with which to check his or her grades on the official school website.Reasons behindSchools want to free students from unnecessary pressure.Schools are trying to prevent poor academic from damaging a students _dignity and reputation among his or her classmates.Different ideasSome think students are overprotected.Schools should teach their students to be stronger in mind and try to make greater _than others.The classroom should show the reality of competition in society.四、 语法填空 (共1题；共1分)7. （1分）There _ (be) few students playing in the playground because o
