The north Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures ____24____ go above 32 F, at which water turns into ice. Most of the time, it stays below zero.

People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year, the ice would be ___29___ and hard. However, this is not true in the arctic.

三、阅读单选
（一）
Octopuses are kind of like aliens. They are amazing in many ways. They have three hearts. They can walk, they can swim, and they can drive themselves forward at high speeds. They can change color and copy what other animals do and they even know how to open screw-top jars (带螺筑盖的罐子) and how to use tools!
Octopuses are mollusks (软体动物). But unlike many other mollusks, they don’t have a shell. This allows them to pass through tiny spaces. Although octopuses mainly eat small fish, they are able to attack and kill small sharks.
One thing that makes octopuses seem like aliens is their blue blood. It is much better at giving oxygen (氧气) in cold and low-oxygen conditions than our red blood. Octopuses lose energy easily. This may help explain their outstanding intelligence: They can’t run after their prey (猎物) for a long time. They must use clever tricks.
As a hunter (捕猎者), an octopus brings its prey under control through the use of a powerful poison (毒素). The smaller the octopus, the stronger the poison. The ten-centimeter-long blue-ringed octopus is so poisonous that it can easily kill a grown man. Octopuses themselves can be delicious prey to many different animals in the ocean, but many of the times they are clever enough to know how to keep themselves safe. With their color-changing skin, octopuses can easily “hide” themselves or flash alarming colors to frighten their enemies away. If that doesn’t work, the octopus will send out a cloud of dark ink and quickly run away.
▲ . They can turn in any direction. The arms are too complex (复杂的) to be controlled from a central brain. Instead, they work almost independently. An octopus gives instructions and believes that they will be carried out. This means that the animal doesn’t have a very good idea of where its arms are. They can’t work out the shape of something by feeling it, like we can.
31．Why can Octopuses pass through tiny spaces
A．Because they can use tools. B．Because they have no shell.
C．Because they eat small fish. D．Because they are clever.
32．What make the octopuses be better at giving oxygen in the ocean
A．They have three hearts. B．They can use clever tricks.
C．They can kill small sharks. D．They have blue blood.
33．How does an octopus frighten its enemies away
A．By flashing alarming colors. B．By color-changing skin.
C．By driving at a high speed. D．By running after the prey.
34．Which of the following can be put into the blank ▲ in the last paragraph
A．Octopuses don’t have a good feeling of the shapes.
B．Octopuses’ arms can get instructions and work well.
C．Instructions from octopuses’ brains can go well.
D．The most amazing part of an octopus is its arms.
35．What’s the best title for the passage
A．Dangerous Octopuses B．Hunters in the Ocean
C．Amazing Octopuses D．Aliens on the Earth
（二）
Are you shy If you are, you are not alone. In fact, close to 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives. These days, shyness is becoming more and more common. Now, scientists are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.
Is it possible to be born shy Many scientists say yes. They say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result, scientists think that some shyness is genetic.
Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Scientists at Harvard（哈佛）University studied shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had older brothers and sisters. The scientists said that these children were often bullied（欺负）by their older brothers and sisters. As a result, they became shy. At the same time, children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well. Growing up alone, they often play by themselves. They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from big families.
You may also be shy because of where you were born. When scientists studied shyness in different countries, they found surprising differences. In Japan, most people said they were shy. But in Isral, only one of three people say so. What explains the difference One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions（观点）about failure（失败）. In Japan, when people do not succeed, they feel bad about themselves. They blame（责备）themselves for their failure. In Israel, the opposite is true. Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons, such as family, teachers, friends or bad luck. In Israel, freedom of opinion and risk taking are strongly supported. This may by why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy.
For shy people, it can be difficult to make friends, speak in class, and even get a good job. But scientists say you can get over your shyness. They suggest trying new things and practicing conversations. And don’t forget—if you are shy, you are not the only one.
36．How many people are shy
A．None. B．All people.
C．About 50 percent of people. D．About 80 percent of people.
37．What is the passage mainly about
A．Happiness. B．Shyness C．Kindness. D．Loneliness.
38．What does the underlined word “genetic” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Passed down from parents. B．Learned from friends.
C．Taught by teachers. D．Made up by brothers.
39．What can be learned from the passage
A．Most little babies are born shy and quiet.
B．If you are shy now, you will be shy forever.
C．Many shy children have older brothers and sisters.
D．Most Israeli people are shy of expressing opinions.
40．We can learn from the passage that ________ may cause shyness.
A．genetics, grownups and birthplace B．genetics, family size and birthplace
C．family size, grownups and failure D．genetics, family size and freedom
四、语法填空
阅读下面短文，在空格处填入一个适当的词，或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。
Do you love eating spicy foods They seem to come from countries with a tropical climate. Two scientists, Jennifer Billing and Dr Paul Sherman, wondered why. They thought that good eating habits probably helped people live much ____41____ (well). But why could eating hot foods in tropical climates bring such benefits
____42____ (hundred) of years ago, people didn’t know how some spices could help keep foods. Since then, scientists ____43____ (discover) that spice plants have some important chemicals. These chemicals can kill bacteria (细菌) which spoil food. “75% to 100% of the bacteria in food can ____44____ (kill) by common spices.” explains one of ____45____ scientists. The bacteria grow ____46____ (easy) and spoil food more quickly at higher temperatures. For this reason, it is more difficult to keep food ____47____ going bad in hot weather.
Do you like your food spicy ____48____ you do, your answer probably tells something about where you come from. ____49____ is possible that in ancient times, when there were no fridges, people in your areas started using spices ____50____ (keep) the food from bacteria. So the traditional spicy dishes helped those people live longer.

Are you shy If you are, you are not alone. In fact, close to 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives. These days, shyness is becoming more and more common. Now, scientists are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.
Is it possible to be born shy Many scientists say yes. They say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result, scientists think that some shyness is genetic.
Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Scientists at Harvard（哈佛）University studied shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had older brothers and sisters. The scientists said that these children were often bullied（欺负）by their older brothers and sisters. As a result, they became shy. At the same time, children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well. Growing up alone, they often play by themselves. They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from big families.
You may also be shy because of where you were born. When scientists studied shyness in different countries, they found surprising differences. In Japan, most people said they were shy. But in Isral, only one of three people say so. What explains the difference One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions（观点）about failure（失败）. In Japan, when people do not succeed, they feel bad about themselves. They blame（责备）themselves for their failure. In Israel, the opposite is true. Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons, such as family, teachers, friends or bad luck. In Israel, freedom of opinion and risk taking are strongly supported. This may by why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy.
