Geology rocks!
It’s not easy keeping track of Sam Mukasa, a University of Michigan geologist.
Sam could be anywhere in the world looking at rocks or poking around volcanoes! He has been on
expedition to Antarctica nine times. We caught Sam’s recent lecture at the University of Michigan’s Exhibit
Museum of Natural History in the US.
Born in Kenya, Africa, of Ugandan parents, Sam told us his own fascinating story.
“How did someone born at the equator end up working in Antarctica ” he said, chuckling. “When I was
about 8, a very adventurous uncle took me up a very small mountain and I was hooked for life. Some seven years
later, I found myself on top of Mt. Kilimanjaro and some eight years later, I found myself doing work on a
doctorate in the Andes.”
But Peru became dangerous because of political reasons. So Sam left and made his way first to Chile, then
to Tierra del Fuego at the tip of Argentina.
“Then I worked my way to South Georgia Island, and by this time I could actually start smelling Antarctica.
So it was only a matter of time before I started working in Antarctica.”
Sam’s knowledge of Antarctica is immense. His lecture was packed with surprises. How many people
know that 146 freshwater lakes lurk beneath the frozen continent Or that one, Lake Vostok, is about the same
length as Lake Ontario
“If it were at the surface, it would be recognized as the seventh largest lake in the world,” said Sam.

And get this: A volcano also lurks beneath Antarctica!
“We didn’t even know about it until a couple of years ago,” said Sam. “It erupted 2,000 years ago,
spreading ash over a very large area. In the future, there could be another eruption that could have a devastating
effect on the ice.”
Antarctica was only part of Sam’s studies. We will follow Sam’s work on other fields in the future. Stay
tuned for more interesting stories.
1．Sam has explored Antarctica ________ times.
A．seven B．eight C．nine D．ten
2．Sam was born in ________.

We sometimes say the lion is "the king of the forest" because it is stronger and more dangerous than the
other animals. It can run faster than most other animals and it can hunt other beasts. It is said that the lion is the
highest animal in the land food chain（食物链）. In the sea, people say the shark is at the top of the food chain. I
can swim faster than most of the other sea animals. It can also use its big teeth to catch other sea animals and eat
them.
What is at the top of the world’s food chain Human beings!We are not the biggest or fastest but we are the
cleverest. We could not run faster than most animals, so we invented（发明）cars. We could not fight better than a
lion, so we invented guns. Now we can hunt the beasts.
People’s inventions are clever, but they can be dangerous, too. For example, people used guns to kill a lot
of wild wolves. The wild wolves usually eat sheep.
试卷第 1 页，共 3 页
But in recent（近来）years, the number of wild rabbits is becoming larger and larger because the number
of wild wolves is getting smaller and smaller. The wild rabbits competed（竞争）for the grass with the sheep and
the cows. Much of the grassland became desert because the grass was eaten by the rabbits.
Remember that we are a part of the food chain, so we are in danger, too! If we love animals, we are loving
ourselves.

I’d planned to spend my weekend in the sun, planting flowers outdoors. But that was before the pair of crows
(乌鸦). Out of nowhere, they had set up their base camp in our garden. We first discovered the crows on Friday
morning. It was early, and the sound the birds made traveled through our neighborhood. I thought they’d go away
soon. But, no. They were getting louder and probably made my neighbors angry nearly as much as us with the
noise. I felt a little disappointed.
Then, on Sunday afternoon, I looked out of the kitchen window to see our dog Quatchi watching something on
the ground. I found a small coal-black bird in the grass. Its eyes were milky, and it stayed perfectly still as my dog
walked towards it. When Quatchi touched his nose to its head, it walked away. I grabbed the dog, locked him
inside and came back with my camera.
I never thought that the young would be hanging out on the ground, growing and gaining strength as its parents
guarded it from above. The second I saw this little bird I forgave (原谅) the crows.
试卷第 1 页，共 3 页
To be honest, I’ve never been much of a bird person. I also have a healthy respect for birds. They’re basically
living dinosaurs (恐龙).
I wish they’d chosen another garden. There are only so many sunny days in Seattle, and I still can’t do any
gardening out there. But I’m also thankful that I got to see this little bit of nature. It’s pretty amazing.
The experience has also strengthened my wish to create a beautiful garden that attracts lots of bees, butterflies,
and yes, birds. They are welcome here.
1．The arrival of the two crows __________.
A．made the writer’s neighbors thankful B．made the writer’s dog mad
C．was harmful to the writer’s garden D．broke the order of the writer’s life
2．The underlined word “grabbed” in paragraph three probably means __________.
A．hit B．caught C．raised D．protected
3．The writer changed her thoughts on the crows when __________.
A．she planted flowers in her garden B．she locked her dog inside
C．she saw the little bird in her garden D．she thought of living dinosaurs
4．After seeing the little crow, the writer __________.
A．was interested to know its growing progress B．fell in love with the pair of crows
C．could plant flowers outdoors D．decided to help look after it
5．The passage is mainly to __________.
A．show an unpleasant situation B．share a personal experience
C．advise readers to protect birds D．ask advice on dealing with crows

从句中的主语，考虑 that，故填 that。
2．句意：奶牛确实有最好的朋友，当它们分开时，它们会感到紧张。根据“Cows do have best friends and feel …
(stress) when they are separated (分开的).”可知 feel 为系动词，后面需要接一个形容词作表语，stressed“紧张
的、有压力的”，形容词，符合题意，故填 stressed。

male penguin will offer a small stone to a female penguin … a gift.”结合语境，可知这里指的是作为礼物，as“当

引导的条件状语从句，从句用一般现在时，主句用一般将来时，故填 will become。
7．句意：当雌企鹅下蛋时，她和她的伴侣可能会小心翼翼地把蛋放在脚上，因为有些企鹅不筑巢。根据“she
and her partner may carry it on their feet … (careful),”可知设空处修饰前面的动词 carry，因此需要填入一个副
词形式，carefully“小心地、仔细地”，副词，符合题意，故填 carefully。
8．句意：大象用植物来治疗疼痛或其他疾病。根据“Elephants use plants … (treat) pain or other illnesses.”大
象用植物来治疗疼痛或其他疾病。可知此处应用动词不定式形式表目的，意为“来”，故填 to treat。

once found a pregnant (怀孕的) elephant in Africa who ate a kind of plant which was not part of … (she) normal
food.”可知设空处后面有名词 food，因此应用形容词性物主代词，故填 her。
10．句意：当地的孕妇也用过同样的植物。根据“And the same plant … (use) by the local pregnant women as
well.”可知 plant 和 use 之间是被动形式，再由前文可知时态为一般过去时，故应用一般过去时的被动语态，

Geology rocks!
It’s not easy keeping track of Sam Mukasa, a University of Michigan geologist.
Sam could be anywhere in the world looking at rocks or poking around volcanoes! He has been on
expedition to Antarctica nine times. We caught Sam’s recent lecture at the University of Michigan’s Exhibit
Museum of Natural History in the US.
Born in Kenya, Africa, of Ugandan parents, Sam told us his own fascinating story.
“How did someone born at the equator end up working in Antarctica ” he said, chuckling. “When I was
about 8, a very adventurous uncle took me up a very small mountain and I was hooked for life. Some seven years
later, I found myself on top of Mt. Kilimanjaro and some eight years later, I found myself doing work on a
doctorate in the Andes.”
But Peru became dangerous because of political reasons. So Sam left and made his way first to Chile, then
to Tierra del Fuego at the tip of Argentina.
“Then I worked my way to South Georgia Island, and by this time I could actually start smelling Antarctica.
So it was only a matter of time before I started working in Antarctica.”
Sam’s knowledge of Antarctica is immense. His lecture was packed with surprises. How many people
know that 146 freshwater lakes lurk beneath the frozen continent Or that one, Lake Vostok, is about the same
length as Lake Ontario
“If it were at the surface, it would be recognized as the seventh largest lake in the world,” said Sam.
And get this: A volcano also lurks beneath Antarctica!
“We didn’t even know about it until a couple of years ago,” said Sam. “It erupted 2,000 years ago,
spreading ash over a very large area. In the future, there could be another eruption that could have a devastating
effect on the ice.”
Antarctica was only part of Sam’s studies. We will follow Sam’s work on other fields in the future. Stay
tuned for more interesting stories.

We sometimes say the lion is "the king of the forest" because it is stronger and more dangerous than the
other animals. It can run faster than most other animals and it can hunt other beasts. It is said that the lion is the
highest animal in the land food chain（食物链）. In the sea, people say the shark is at the top of the food chain. I
can swim faster than most of the other sea animals. It can also use its big teeth to catch other sea animals and eat
them.
What is at the top of the world’s food chain Human beings!We are not the biggest or fastest but we are the
cleverest. We could not run faster than most animals, so we invented（发明）cars. We could not fight better than a
lion, so we invented guns. Now we can hunt the beasts.
People’s inventions are clever, but they can be dangerous, too. For example, people used guns to kill a lot
of wild wolves. The wild wolves usually eat sheep.
But in recent（近来）years, the number of wild rabbits is becoming larger and larger because the number

of wild wolves is getting smaller and smaller. The wild rabbits competed（竞争）for the grass with the sheep and
the cows. Much of the grassland became desert because the grass was eaten by the rabbits.

ourselves.

I’d planned to spend my weekend in the sun, planting flowers outdoors. But that was before the pair of crows
(乌鸦). Out of nowhere, they had set up their base camp in our garden. We first discovered the crows on Friday
试卷第 1 页，共 3 页
morning. It was early, and the sound the birds made traveled through our neighborhood. I thought they’d go away
soon. But, no. They were getting louder and probably made my neighbors angry nearly as much as us with the
noise. I felt a little disappointed.
Then, on Sunday afternoon, I looked out of the kitchen window to see our dog Quatchi watching something on
the ground. I found a small coal-black bird in the grass. Its eyes were milky, and it stayed perfectly still as my dog
walked towards it. When Quatchi touched his nose to its head, it walked away. I grabbed the dog, locked him
inside and came back with my camera.
I never thought that the young would be hanging out on the ground, growing and gaining strength as its parents
guarded it from above. The second I saw this little bird I forgave (原谅) the crows.
To be honest, I’ve never been much of a bird person. I also have a healthy respect for birds. They’re basically
living dinosaurs (恐龙).
I wish they’d chosen another garden. There are only so many sunny days in Seattle, and I still can’t do any
gardening out there. But I’m also thankful that I got to see this little bit of nature. It’s pretty amazing.
The experience has also strengthened my wish to create a beautiful garden that attracts lots of bees, butterflies,
and yes, birds. They are welcome here.
