"It walked about 200 meters before crossing the river to reach the mountains on the other side," said Yang Guoxiang, a 65-year-old farmer who was the first to see the panda while planting potatoes.

（10分） People often think of the North Pole (北极) and the South Pole as similar frozen (冰冻的) wastelands. They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. However, the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine.
The North Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures seldom go above 32°F. Most of the time, it stays below zero. In winter temperatures are usually as low as -30°F.
Although conditions were very poor, people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole. About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Mathew Henson, were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on March 8th, 1909. It was really a hard trip for them.
There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic (北极圈) on foot. People who stay there may face many problems: very cold temperatures, sudden storms, and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited. Few people can live in such a difficult place.
People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year, the ice would be thick and hard. However, this is not true in the Arctic. The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water (水道) called "leads". Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes.
(1) This passage is probably from _____.
A．a book review B．a science book
C．a school report D．a computer magazine
(2) According to the passage, what happened about 100 years ago
A．Two men succeeded in getting to the North Pole.
B．Temperatures in the North Pole went above 32°F.
C．The environment in the North Pole suddenly became worse.
D．The North Pole changed into thick ice because of the temperatures.
(3) What problems may the people staying in the Arctic face
A．Wild animals. B．Sudden storms.
C．Earthquake. D．Heavy rain.
(4) The reason for the ice to break into two opening lanes of water is _____.
A．that the temperature suddenly drops
B．that the water under the ice is frozen
C．that the ocean water under the ice moves
D．that the surface is covered with lots of ice
(5) What does this passage mainly talk about
A．The people staying in the Arctic.
B．A difficult trip to the North Pole.
C．The real situation in the North Pole.
D．The differences between the North Pole and the South Pole.
（10分）阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的选项中，选择最佳选项。
Most climbers to Qomolangma used to start their climbing in Nepal, on the mountain's south side. But in the last few years, the route (路线) from China has become more popular. It then brings a lot of environmental problems to the north side. In June, 2017, Chinese government said it would close Qomolangma from climbing from the north side for the coming autumn season as it took time to clear out the rubbish on the mountain and make better protection of it.
However, the number of climbers has still been rising since it was opened again. Qomolangma, one of the most popular and dangerous challenges for mountain climbers, is now in a terrible mess. Among all the 100 million visitors, around 60,000 climbers visit the Chinese side of the mountain each year. Qomolangma has become the world's highest rubbish dump (垃圾场) thanks to their visits.
To protect the mountain, the Chinese government told the whole world that China would limit the number of visitors to Qomolangma. A clean-up began from February 5th, 2018 and the number of visitors to the north side should not be more than 300 every year from that day on.
There are still more places that are "hurt" by human activities like Qomolangma. What humans should think about may not be what Earth can do for us, but what we can do for our mother planet. Can you imagine what our blue planet will be like in 100 or even 1,000 years if things do not change

（10分） Lighting is one of the most beautiful natural phenomena (现象). It is also one of the most deadly phenomena. A bolt of lightning is six times hotter than the surface (表面) of the Sun and gives out 30,000 amps of electricity (电). It can travel at 100,000 kilometres per hour and has the ability to hit a target up to 40 kilometre away. About 1,000 people around the world are killed by lightning every day.
Only about ten percent of people struck by lightening will actually die, but the others are actually very badly injured, with burns, broken bones, blindness, deafness, paralysis, or memory loss. However, when the electricity passes through their brain, it can occasionally have unusual and even positive effects. Some blind people have got their sight back after being struck by lightning. One woman said a psychological test showed her intelligence (智力) had greatly improved, and one man said he could no longer feel cold at all and could go out in temperature below freezing in just a T-shirt!
So what should you do to stay safe in a thunderstorm The most important rule is to stay inside, but do not go near phones, electrical appliances, plumbing, or water. If you are stuck outside, do not take shelter under a tree. Instead, roll yourself up into a ball on the ground as small as possible. And do not think it has to be raining in order for lightning to strike.
Strangely, lightning seems to prefer some people to others. If you are a man, you are six times more likely to be struck by lightning than a woman!
(1) What does the phrase "positive effects" in Paragraph Two possibly mean
A．something good B．something bad
C．something useful D．something useless
(2) In order to stay safe in a thunderstorm, you should do the following EXCEPT (除了) _____.
A．stay inside B．roll up into a ball
C．take shelter under a tree D．stay away from water
(3) Which of the following is TRUE according to the article
A．Lightning is a beautiful but dangerous phenomenon.
B．Most people struck by lightning will actually die.
C．Lightning can travel at 10,000 kilometres per hour.
D．A woman is more likely to be struck by lightning than a man.
(4) The writer uses the examples of a man and a woman in Paragraph Two to _____.
A．show lightning is very dangerous to human beings
B．make the readers want to know more about lightning
C．help people know lightning will surely improve their intelligence
D．prove something surprising, interesting may happen because of lightning
