Module 1 Deep South Section Ⅰ Introduction & Reading-Pre-reading
Ship tourism to Antarctica is on the rise:More than 35,000 tourists are expected to visit Antarctica this summer. In 1992－1993, 6,750 tourists visited Antarctica,according to the Antarctica Treaty. All of this tourism, however, is putting both tourists and the environment ingreat danger.
Among the tourist ships that visit the continent, the Explorer, a Canadian ship, was one of the first.Put to use in 1969, it was built to carry tourists to Antarctica. Last week, however, it became the first commercial (商业) passenger ship to sink beneath the waters. Fortunately, all of the passengers and crew members were rescued from the ship. However, the sunken ship endangered the Antarctic's fragile (脆弱的) environment. The ship was estimated to be holding 48,000 gallons of fuel.
As a natural frontier, Antarctica is in a messy legal situation. There are no obvious answers as towho is responsible for dealing with the threat that tourist may cause to human life and the environment.
There is no coast guard for Antarctica. Do we want it to become Disneyland, or do we need some controls?

Antarctica①：the Last Continent
Antarctica is the coldest place on Earth. It's also the driest. With annual②rainfall③ close to④ zero⑤， Antarctica is technically a desert. Covering about 14 million square kilometres around the South Pole⑥， it is the fifth largest⑦ continent in the world. A high mountain range, the Trans-Antarctic range⑧， runs from east to west, cutting the continent in two⑨. There are volcanoes too, but they are not very active. Antarctica holds⑩ 90% of the world's ice, and most of its fresh water (70%) is in a frozen state?， of course. 98% of the surface is? covered permanently? in the ice cap. On average? it is two kilometres thick, but in some places it reaches adepth? of five kilometres. Strong winds?driven by gravity? blow from the pole to the coastline, while other winds blow round the coast. It is difficult to imagine a more inhospitable? place.

南极洲：最后(一块被发现)的大洲
[第1段译文]
南极洲是地球上最冷的地方，同时也是最干燥的地方。南极洲年降水量几乎为零，严格来说该地区就是一片荒漠。南极洲覆盖了南极圈周围约1 400万平方千米的面积，是世界第五大洲。一条横贯南极洲的高大山脉，从东到西将南极洲分为两半。南极洲也有火山，但并不十分活跃。南极洲拥有世界90%的冰，当然其大部分淡水(70%)都处于一种冰冻状态。南极洲98%的地表永久地被冰盖覆盖。冰层平均厚度为2 000米，但某些地方厚度可以达到5 000米。受地球重力影响，会有暴风从极地吹向海岸，同时也有其他方向吹来的风。很难想象比南极洲条件更为恶劣的地方了。
Yet Antarctica is full of wildlife, which has adapted to?its extreme?conditions. There are different types of penguins, flying birds, seals, and whales. But the long Antarctic winter night, which lasts for 182 days (the longest period of continuous darkness on earth), as well as the extreme cold and lack of rainfall, means that few types of plants can survive there. Only two types of flowering plants are found, while there are no trees on the large continent. The rest of the plants are made up of mosses， algae and lichen. Some forms of algae have adapted to grow on ice.

但南极洲仍然栖息着许多野生生物，它们已经适应了那里极其恶劣的条件。这里有不同种类的企鹅、飞禽、海豹以及鲸。但是南极洲冬天的夜晚长达182天?地球上持续时间最长的黑暗时期?，而且气候极度寒冷，降水量极少，这意味着很少有植物能够在这里生存。仅发现了两种开花类植物，而这片大陆上没有树木生长。其他的植物也就是一些苔藓、海藻以及地衣。有些藻类已经适应了在冰上生长。
Most of the ice has been there for thousands of years. As a result， it has become a window on the past, and can give researchers lots of useful information. Gases and minerals, in the form of volcanic dust trapped in the ice， can tell us a lot about what the world's climate was like in past ages. Antarctic rocks are also very important for research. Most of them are meteorites from outer space. One rock, known as the “Alien” rock， may contain evidence of extraterrestrial life. Since most Antarctic rocks are dark in colour， they stand out against the white background and are easy to identify and collect.

南极洲大部分的冰已经有成千上万年的历史了。因此，它已经变成了人们了解过去的窗口，可以给研究者提供大量有用的信息。这些以火山灰的形式封冻进冰层里的气体和矿物质可以告诉我们很多关于远古时期全球气候的状况。南极洲的岩石对于研究来说也很重要。它们大部分是来自太空的陨石。其中有一块叫做“外星”的岩石，或许含有地球以外生命存在的证据。南极洲的大多数岩石是深色的，它们在白色冰雪的背景下格外显眼，也就易于识别和搜集。
Antarctica was the last continent to be discovered. But more than two thousand years ago Greek geographers believed that there was a large land mass in the south which balanced the land in the north. They called it Anti-Arktikos, or Antarctica：the opposite of Arctic. When Europeans discovered the continent of America in the 15th century， the great age of exploration began. However, progress to the South Pole was slow. Not until the late 18th century did the British explorer James Cook cross the Antarctic Circle, but he never saw land. Then in 1895, a Norwegian called Carstens Borchgrevink became the first man to set foot on the Antarctic mainland. The race to the pole had begun.

[第4段译文]
南极洲是最后一块被发现的大洲。但在两千多年以前，希腊的地理学家就相信地球南边会存在一大块陆地与北边的陆地保持平衡。他们称之为Anti-Arktikos或者Antarctica，意为“与北极相反的”。在15世纪欧洲人发现了美洲以后，一个伟大的探险的时代也随之开始了。然而，到达南极洲的步伐却非常慢。直到18世纪末，英国探险家詹姆斯·库克才穿越了南极圈，但他却从未发现任何陆地。后来到了1895年，一个叫卡斯腾·博克格雷温克的挪威人成为第一个踏上南极大陆的人。奔赴南极的竞赛开始了。最终一名挪威人罗尔德·阿蒙森于1911年12月11日到达南极。
Today scientists from many countries travel to Antarctica to study its resources. A spirit of international friendship has replaced the rivalrythat existed between many of the earlier explorers. In 1961, a treatysigned by 12 countries， including Britain, France, and the USA, made Antarctica the world's biggest nature reserve. The aim of the treaty is to prevent the commercial and military use of the continent. In particular， it aims to keep Antarctica free fromnucleartests and radioactive waste; to promote international scientific projects; and to end arguments about who owns the land. Today countries representing 80% of the world's population have signed the treaty. Antarctica has become perhaps the most successful symbol of man's efforts to work together for progress and peace.

[第5段译文]
当今，来自许多国家的科学家到南极洲去研究其资源。一种国际友谊已经代替了存在于许多早期探险家之间的相互竞争。1961年，由包括英国、法国和美国在内的12个国家签署的一份条约，使南极洲变成了世界上最大的自然保护区。条约的目的在于防止将南极洲用于商业以及军事方面。该条约尤其致力于保护南极洲不受核试验以及放射性废物的污染，推进国际科研项目，并且终止那些关于这片土地所有权的争论。今天代表世界人口80%的国家已经签署了这份条约。南极洲或许已经成为人类为了进步与和平而共同努力的最成功的标志。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
We've colonised most of the world, but one vast stretch of the planet remains beyond our grasp: Antarctica. This frozen continent at the end of the earth has never been permanently occupied by man. Even if you're traveling there on a cruise ship, as most people do, the solitude (孤独) and the emptiness will envelop you.
Not that solitude is the first thing that comes to mind when you're standing in the middle of a penguin colony on an Antarctic shoreline. When I visited in early February, there were thousands of birds packed tightly on every rock, both shy gentoo penguins and the bolder adélie penguins. They seemed happy to see us wandering among them; our cameras clicked crazily at the grey fluff-ball chicks who are tapping their parents' beaks (鸟嘴) to be fed.
But penguins are by no means the only stars of the show here. I found it equally exciting to see a wandering albatross (信天翁) circling above our ship, dipping its great wings into the rolling waters of the Drake Passage. Or fat elephant seals rest on the beach in a soup of algae (海藻), shouting at each other like elderly members of a gentlemen's club.
Most exciting of all, though, were the whales. As the call went up from the bridge of our ship —“Humpbacks！”— we spotted three of them leaping from the water, their magnificent tails emerging and dipping as if in slow motion, so close that we could see their great heads, their eyes and blowholes.
Just as vast and attractive are the icebergs. The glassy world of the Weddell Sea is a fantastic picture of icy skyscrapers stretching to the horizon. Some are whipped by wind and water into fantastical shapes — oriental (东方的) palaces, ruined fortresses, an Art Deco cinema.
All of the above is exactly what makes a voyage here so extraordinary. A journey to Antarctica is a travel experience as special as you can have.
语篇解读：作者描述了自己到南极去的一次旅行经历，在作者的笔下一切都充满了生机和活力。
1．We can infer from Paragraph 2 that penguins ________.
A．are mostly shy
B．are not afraid of humans
C．dislike the presence of humans
D．hide their chicks from humans
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第二段第三句中“They seemed happy to see us wandering among them”可知，企鹅似乎对人类在周围徘徊感到高兴，说明它们一点也不惧怕人类。
2．What is the most exciting in Antarctica according to the author?
A．Penguins. B．The whales.
C．The icebergs. D．Elephant seals.
解析：选B 细节理解题。从文章第四段第一句“Most exciting of all, though, were the whales.”可知，作者认为最令人激动的是见到鲸。
3．Which of the following is TRUE about the icebergs?
A．They lack attraction.
B．They look cold and lifeless.
C．They are huge and frightening.
D．They are beautiful and in different shapes.
解析：选D 细节理解题。从文章第五段可知，冰山形态各异、闪闪发光，它们在作者的笔下也显得生动而美丽。
4．Where does the passage probably come from?
A．An ad. B．A news story.
C．A travel journal. D．A research paper.
解析：选C 文章出处题。综合全文，特别是文章最后一段“A journey to Antarctica is a travel experience as special as you can have.”可知，本文节选自游记。
B
Antarctic seabirds are breeding (繁殖) later, because thinner sea ice is causing their food supplies to decline, a new study says.The birds, which nest in East Antarctica, have delayed their spring arrival by an average of nine days and egg-laying by an
average of two days over the past 50 years, according to polar researchers from the French National Center for Scientific Research in Villiers en Bois, France. Study authors Christophe Barbrand and Henri Weimerskirch attribute this later breeding activity to decrease in sea ice caused by climate change.
The researchers say the disappearing sea ice, combined with a longer sea-ice season, has interfered with the birds' breeding cycle by reducing the amount of krill (磷虾) and other prey (猎物) available in early spring in Antarctica.Because Antarctica's seasons are opposite those in the Northern Hemisphere, spring on the icy continent begins in October.
The study is based on data collected at seabird colonies between 1950 and 2004 in Adélie Land, on the eastern edge of the frozen continent.
The findings were published in the journal ProceedingsoftheNationalAcademyofSciences.
Of the nine species studied, some arrived up to 30 days later than they had in previous years.
Despite much later arrivals, the birds are laying their eggs at pretty much the same time as they had in the past.In the most extreme cases, birds were laying their eggs an average of 3.7 days later in the season than they were 50 years ago.
5. What is the passage mainly about?
A．Seabirds are breeding later in East Antarctica.
B．The amount of krill in the ocean has decreased.
C．The weather in Antarctica has changed.
D．The spring in Antarctica is beginning later.
解析：选A 主旨大意题。纵观全文，文章主要介绍的是现在生活在南极洲东部的海鸟的繁殖期由于气候变化而延后。
6．In which of the following months is it autumn in Antarctica?
A．October. B．September.
C．November. D．June.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据文章第二段第二句可推知南极6月应是秋天。
7．How many kinds of seabirds were studied by the researchers?
A．Two. B．Five.
C．Nine. D．Thirty.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据文章第五段可推知研究了九种鸟。
8．What does the underlined word “attribute”in Para.1 mean?
A．Contribute. B．Cause.
C．Owe. D．Devote.
解析：选C 词义猜测题。研究者认为这种推迟的生育行为是由于气候变化海冰减少而引起的。attribute ... to ...“认为……由……引起或产生”，C项与之相符。

When Luca first heard of the Island of Inventions, he was still very young. But its wonders sounded so incredible that they were forever burned in his memory. From that moment, he never stopped searching for clues which might lead him to the island. He read hundreds of adventure books, histories, volumes of physics and chemistry, even music.
Over time, he pieced together his idea of what the Island of Inventions was like. It was a secret place, where all the great wise men in the world would meet to learn and invent together. Access to the island was totally restricted. To join, you had to have created some great inventions for humanity. Only then could you receive the special invitation — which came with directions to the island.
So Luca spent his youth studying and inventing. He made every new idea he got into to invention, and if there were something he didn't understand, he'd seek others to help him. Soon he met other young inventors and he told them about the Island of Inventions. They also dreamed of receiving an invitation letter one day.
As years passed, the disappointment of not receiving their invitations made Luca and his friends work harder. They would meet in Luca's house, share their ideas and build new machines. Their inventions became known throughout the world, and improved the lives of millions.
But still, no invitation came.
They didn't lose heart. They continued learning and inventing every day, trying to come up with more and better ideas. Fresh young talents joined their group, as more inventors dreamed of getting to the island.
One day many years later, Luca, already very old, was speaking with a brilliant young man named Roberts, whom a letter had been written to, asking him to join the group. Luca started telling the man the wonderful Island of Inventions, and how he was sure that some day they would receive an invitation. Surprised, the young inventor interrupted：
“You mean this place isn't the Island of Inventions? Isn't the letter you sent me the real invitation？”
It was only then that Luca realized that his dream had become true in his very own house. No island could exist which would be better than where he was now. No place of invention would be better than what he and his friends had created. Luca felt happy to know that he had always been on the island, and that his life of invention and study had been a truly happy one.
语篇解读：Luca很小的时候就听说了发明岛，且一直铭记于心。因此，他一直努力寻找去该岛的线索，且一直盼望着收到来自发明岛的邀请。与此同时，他和其他年轻的发明家们共同努力，一同寻梦，他们的发明闻名世界。突然有一天，一位年轻的发明家一语道破天机。
9．Luca's picture of the Island of Inventions was mainly based on ________.
A．scientific research B．his imagination
C．reports of others D．history books
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句“Over time, he pieced together his idea of what the Island of Inventions was like.”可知他主要根据自己的想象画出了发明岛的图画，故选B。
10．Why did Luca and his friends probably never receive an invitation to the island?
A．Their ideas were not considered worthy enough.
B．They were too concerned with acquiring fame.
C．The organization had already broken up.
D．The island was not a real place.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“You mean this place isn't the Island of Inventions？”及最后一段的第二句“No island could exist which would be better than where he was now.”可推知那个岛根本就不存在，故选D。
11．What was Roberts' reaction to Luca's story of the island?
A．He thought he had already arrived at the island.
B．He was disappointed to discover it didn't exist.
C．He was excited about receiving an invitation.
D．He expressed surprise that Luca believed in such fairy tales.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“You mean this place isn't the Island of Inventions? Isn't the letter you sent me the real invitation？”可知他认为他来到了真正的发明岛，故选A。
12．Which of the following best describes Luca?
A．Aggressive. B．Trusting.
C．Creative. D．Easy-going.
解析：选C 细节理解题。aggressive“好斗的”；trusting“轻信的”；creative“创造性的”；easy-going“随和的”。根据短文的内容可知Luca根据自己的想象画出了发明岛的图画，并且创造了许多发明，故选C。

二、勤练高考题型，多练自能生巧
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Studies show that lottery winners, heirs (继承人), and the 100 richest Americans are only slightly more satisfied than normal people. Then why doesn't increased wealth greatly improve our mental health?
The ability to imagine — to try to predict our future state of mind — is what sets us apart from other species. It's also the very thing that negatively affects our true happiness. We assume that a sportier car, a bigger house, a better-paid job, or that dress will bring us joy. Not really. They may make us happy for a short time, but we can easily forget the feeling of happiness brought by material things.
In so many areas, we know when enough is enough. When we're healthy, we don't strive for extreme health. After a good meal, we're satisfied — we don't order another dish. Yet our “pause” button shorts out when it comes to money. The brief pick-me-up that accompanies a raise or windfall (横财) drives us to want more. We get a raise, spend it, adapt to our improved circumstances, and seek more money. But somehow the Happy-O-Meter stays in the same place, or even slows down. Consider that the average American are less satisfied with life today than we were in the 1950s, yet we earn twice as much.
How much is enough? Of course, the amount is relative, but consider what it represents to the average American: It's enough to cover the bills and have some fun money left over. After that, each incremental (递增的) move up the pay scale has less long-term emotional impact. A 20% raise won't make you 20% happier. In fact, chasing that extra 10 grand might just make you miserable. So the guy in the corner office may actually be more bummed_out than those of us in the cheap seats.
1．The first reason given by the author is that ________.
A．we don't know what brings true happiness
B．we like predicting our future state of mind
C．sadness hits us when our desires aren't satisfied
D．happiness brought by material things doesn't last long
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第二段的“They may make us happy for a short time, but we can easily forget the feeling of happiness brought by material things.”可知，第一个理由是金钱带来的快乐持续时间不长。
2．What does the author want to show by mentioning how much Americans made in the 1950s?
A．People back then weren't really happy.
B．Americans' lives have greatly changed.
C．Americans care more about money today.
D．Higher incomes don't mean a happier life.
解析：选D 作者意图题。根据第三段的“Consider that the average ... than we were in the 1950s, yet we earn twice as much.”可知，作者是想表明高收入并不意味着更快乐的生活。
3．What does the underlined part “bummed out” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Bored. B．Satisfied.
C．Disappointed. D．Excited.
解析：选C 词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的“In fact, chasing that extra 10 grand might just make you miserable.”可知，这里是指坐在单独办公室里的人或许比坐在便宜座椅里的人更加失望。
4．What is the text mainly about?
A．What money can't do for us.
B．Why people want more money.
C．What can benefit our mental health.
D．Why rich people aren't really happier.
解析：选D 主旨大意题。全文主要是讲为什么富裕的人并不比普通人更快乐，故选D项。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
While encouraging children to do something with rewards of money, toys or even a special activity can be very effective, some experts believe this prevents youngsters from developing their own sense of responsibility. Alfie Kohn, author of Punished by Rewards, believes that giving rewards — even nonmaterial ones — only serves to control youngsters.
But not all experts agree. According to Dr Virginia Shiller, a psychologist and instructor at the Yale Child Study Center and coauthor of the book Rewards for Kids, rewards can help parents teach their children new habits. Shiller says the key is in how the rewards are given. “I was inspired to write this book by my own parenting experience, and I'm happy to say my sons — now in their late 20s — are very responsible people，” says Shiller.
Whether or not to offer rewards is a personal decision. Here are some tips to help your family.
Make rewards fairly immediate. Younger kids may need more immediate goals, while older kids can understand working toward longer-term rewards. Rewards can be small, and they don't need to be money or a toy. Even a trip to the library or park can be a treat.
Set realistic, specific goals. Don't try to convert too many things at once. If you try to work on getting to school on time, being nice to siblings (兄弟姐妹) and cleaning up toys all at once, that's too much. It's better to target just one or two actions in a particular time.
Make sure there's not a hidden problem. For example, if your child refuses to go to school, you may want to look into whether there is an unknown problem, such as bullying (欺凌) or a learning problem.
Rethink your requests. Are the tasks you're asking of your child age-appropriate (合适的) and beneficial? If they are, spend time explaining the value of those actions.
1．Which of the following statements would Dr Virginia Shiller agree to?
A．She failed to raise her sons to be responsible men.
B．Children should be given only nonmaterial rewards.
C．Children can benefit if they are properly rewarded.
D．Rewards prevent children from becoming responsible.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第二段的“... rewards can help parents teach their children new habits. Shiller says the key is in how the rewards are given”可知应选C项。
2．When trying to encourage younger kids to do something, parents should avoid ________.
A．promising a small reward
B．promising a long-term reward
C．promising a nonmaterial reward
D．making rewards fairly immediate
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Make rewards fairly immediate. Younger kids may need more immediate goals, while older kids can understand working toward longer-term rewards.”可知应该避免给年纪小的小孩允诺长远的奖励。
3．What does the underlined word “convert” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A．Replace. B．Discover.
C．Exchange. D．Change.
解析：选D 词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“If you try to work on getting to school on time, being nice to siblings (兄弟姐妹) and cleaning up toys all at once, that's too much.”并结合选项可知这里是指不要试图一次“改变”很多事情。
4．Which of the following tips is NOT given in the passage?
A．Thinking about hidden problems.
B．Helping children reach their goals.
C．Being realistic when making goals.
D．Thinking if the requests make sense.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据文章内容，可知A、C、D项的内容都有提到，但并没有说要帮助小孩完成目标。

When I was small, I felt very enviously to see children riding bicycles because I thought they were pretty cool. Getting older, I can hardly wait to learn how to ride a bicycle myself. I still remember a day when I could ride it. Today, the bicycle is still your favorite transportation. On the first hand, I can keep fit by going to school by bikes. On the other hand, ride a bicycle can protect our environment. Bicycles work out with the help of our legs instead gas, which burns and pollutes the environment. So cycling is not only good for our health or for the environment. I will continue keeping riding it.
答案：第一句：enviously→envious
第二句：can→could
第三句：a→the
第四句：your→my
第五句：first→one; bikes→bike
第六句：ride→riding
第七句：去掉out; instead后加of
第八句：or→but

课时跟踪练(一) Introduction & Reading — Pre reading
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
We've colonised most of the world, but one vast stretch of the planet remains beyond our grasp: Antarctica. This frozen continent at the end of the earth has never been permanently occupied by man. Even if you're traveling there on a cruise ship, as most people do, the solitude (孤独) and the emptiness will envelop you.
Not that solitude is the first thing that comes to mind when you're standing in the middle of a penguin colony on an Antarctic shoreline. When I visited in early February, there were thousands of birds packed tightly on every rock, both shy gentoo penguins and the bolder adélie penguins. They seemed happy to see us wandering among them; our cameras clicked crazily at the grey fluff-ball chicks who are tapping their parents' beaks (鸟嘴) to be fed.
But penguins are by no means the only stars of the show here. I found it equally exciting to see a wandering albatross (信天翁) circling above our ship, dipping its great wings into the rolling waters of the Drake Passage. Or fat elephant seals rest on the beach in a soup of algae (海藻), shouting at each other like elderly members of a gentlemen's club.
Most exciting of all, though, were the whales. As the call went up from the bridge of our ship —“Humpbacks！”— we spotted three of them leaping from the water, their magnificent tails emerging and dipping as if in slow motion, so close that we could see their great heads, their eyes and blowholes.
Just as vast and attractive are the icebergs. The glassy world of the Weddell Sea is a fantastic picture of icy skyscrapers stretching to the horizon. Some are whipped by wind and water into fantastical shapes — oriental (东方的) palaces, ruined fortresses, an Art Deco cinema.
All of the above is exactly what makes a voyage here so extraordinary. A journey to Antarctica is a travel experience as special as you can have.
语篇解读：作者描述了自己到南极去的一次旅行经历，在作者的笔下一切都充满了生机和活力。
1．We can infer from Paragraph 2 that penguins ________.
A．are mostly shy
B．are not afraid of humans
C．dislike the presence of humans
D．hide their chicks from humans
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第二段第三句中“They seemed happy to see us wandering among them”可知，企鹅似乎对人类在周围徘徊感到高兴，说明它们一点也不惧怕人类。
2．What is the most exciting in Antarctica according to the author?
A．Penguins. B．The whales.
C．The icebergs. D．Elephant seals.
解析：选B 细节理解题。从文章第四段第一句“Most exciting of all, though, were the whales.”可知，作者认为最令人激动的是见到鲸。
3．Which of the following is TRUE about the icebergs?
A．They lack attraction.
B．They look cold and lifeless.
C．They are huge and frightening.
D．They are beautiful and in different shapes.
解析：选D 细节理解题。从文章第五段可知，冰山形态各异、闪闪发光，它们在作者的笔下也显得生动而美丽。
4．Where does the passage probably come from?
A．An ad. B．A news story.
C．A travel journal. D．A research paper.
解析：选C 文章出处题。综合全文，特别是文章最后一段“A journey to Antarctica is a travel experience as special as you can have.”可知，本文节选自游记。
B
Antarctic seabirds are breeding (繁殖) later, because thinner sea ice is causing their food supplies to decline, a new study says.The birds, which nest in East Antarctica, have delayed their spring arrival by an average of nine days and egg-laying by an
average of two days over the past 50 years, according to polar researchers from the French National Center for Scientific Research in Villiers en Bois, France. Study authors Christophe Barbrand and Henri Weimerskirch attribute this later breeding activity to decrease in sea ice caused by climate change.
The researchers say the disappearing sea ice, combined with a longer sea-ice season, has interfered with the birds' breeding cycle by reducing the amount of krill (磷虾) and other prey (猎物) available in early spring in Antarctica.Because Antarctica's seasons are opposite those in the Northern Hemisphere, spring on the icy continent begins in October.
The study is based on data collected at seabird colonies between 1950 and 2004 in Adélie Land, on the eastern edge of the frozen continent.
The findings were published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Of the nine species studied, some arrived up to 30 days later than they had in previous years.
Despite much later arrivals, the birds are laying their eggs at pretty much the same time as they had in the past.In the most extreme cases, birds were laying their eggs an average of 3.7 days later in the season than they were 50 years ago.
5. What is the passage mainly about?
A．Seabirds are breeding later in East Antarctica.
B．The amount of krill in the ocean has decreased.
C．The weather in Antarctica has changed.
D．The spring in Antarctica is beginning later.
解析：选A 主旨大意题。纵观全文，文章主要介绍的是现在生活在南极洲东部的海鸟的繁殖期由于气候变化而延后。
6．In which of the following months is it autumn in Antarctica?
A．October. B．September.
C．November. D．June.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据文章第二段第二句可推知南极6月应是秋天。
7．How many kinds of seabirds were studied by the researchers?
A．Two. B．Five.
C．Nine. D．Thirty.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据文章第五段可推知研究了九种鸟。
8．What does the underlined word “attribute”in Para.1 mean?
A．Contribute. B．Cause.
C．Owe. D．Devote.
解析：选C 词义猜测题。研究者认为这种推迟的生育行为是由于气候变化海冰减少而引起的。attribute ... to ...“认为……由……引起或产生”，C项与之相符。
C
When Luca first heard of the Island of Inventions, he was still very young. But its wonders sounded so incredible that they were forever burned in his memory. From that moment, he never stopped searching for clues which might lead him to the island. He read hundreds of adventure books, histories, volumes of physics and chemistry, even music.
Over time, he pieced together his idea of what the Island of Inventions was like. It was a secret place, where all the great wise men in the world would meet to learn and invent together. Access to the island was totally restricted. To join, you had to have created some great inventions for humanity. Only then could you receive the special invitation — which came with directions to the island.
So Luca spent his youth studying and inventing. He made every new idea he got into to invention, and if there were something he didn't understand, he'd seek others to help him. Soon he met other young inventors and he told them about the Island of Inventions. They also dreamed of receiving an invitation letter one day.
As years passed, the disappointment of not receiving their invitations made Luca and his friends work harder. They would meet in Luca's house, share their ideas and build new machines. Their inventions became known throughout the world, and improved the lives of millions.
But still, no invitation came.
They didn't lose heart. They continued learning and inventing every day, trying to come up with more and better ideas. Fresh young talents joined their group, as more inventors dreamed of getting to the island.
One day many years later, Luca, already very old, was speaking with a brilliant young man named Roberts, whom a letter had been written to, asking him to join the group. Luca started telling the man the wonderful Island of Inventions, and how he was sure that some day they would receive an invitation. Surprised, the young inventor interrupted：
“You mean this place isn't the Island of Inventions? Isn't the letter you sent me the real invitation？”
It was only then that Luca realized that his dream had become true in his very own house. No island could exist which would be better than where he was now. No place of invention would be better than what he and his friends had created. Luca felt happy to know that he had always been on the island, and that his life of invention and study had been a truly happy one.
语篇解读：Luca很小的时候就听说了发明岛，且一直铭记于心。因此，他一直努力寻找去该岛的线索，且一直盼望着收到来自发明岛的邀请。与此同时，他和其他年轻的发明家们共同努力，一同寻梦，他们的发明闻名世界。突然有一天，一位年轻的发明家一语道破天机。
9．Luca's picture of the Island of Inventions was mainly based on ________.
A．scientific research B．his imagination
C．reports of others D．history books
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句“Over time, he pieced together his idea of what the Island of Inventions was like.”可知他主要根据自己的想象画出了发明岛的图画，故选B。
10．Why did Luca and his friends probably never receive an invitation to the island?
A．Their ideas were not considered worthy enough.
B．They were too concerned with acquiring fame.
C．The organization had already broken up.
D．The island was not a real place.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“You mean this place isn't the Island of Inventions？”及最后一段的第二句“No island could exist which would be better than where he was now.”可推知那个岛根本就不存在，故选D。
11．What was Roberts' reaction to Luca's story of the island?
A．He thought he had already arrived at the island.
B．He was disappointed to discover it didn't exist.
C．He was excited about receiving an invitation.
D．He expressed surprise that Luca believed in such fairy tales.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“You mean this place isn't the Island of Inventions? Isn't the letter you sent me the real invitation？”可知他认为他来到了真正的发明岛，故选A。
12．Which of the following best describes Luca?
A．Aggressive. B．Trusting.
C．Creative. D．Easy-going.
解析：选C 细节理解题。aggressive“好斗的”；trusting“轻信的”；creative“创造性的”；easy-going“随和的”。根据短文的内容可知Luca根据自己的想象画出了发明岛的图画，并且创造了许多发明，故选C。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Studies show that lottery winners, heirs (继承人), and the 100 richest Americans are only slightly more satisfied than normal people. Then why doesn't increased wealth greatly improve our mental health?
The ability to imagine — to try to predict our future state of mind — is what sets us apart from other species. It's also the very thing that negatively affects our true happiness. We assume that a sportier car, a bigger house, a better-paid job, or that dress will bring us joy. Not really. They may make us happy for a short time, but we can easily forget the feeling of happiness brought by material things.
In so many areas, we know when enough is enough. When we're healthy, we don't strive for extreme health. After a good meal, we're satisfied — we don't order another dish. Yet our “pause” button shorts out when it comes to money. The brief pick-me-up that accompanies a raise or windfall (横财) drives us to want more. We get a raise, spend it, adapt to our improved circumstances, and seek more money. But somehow the Happy-O-Meter stays in the same place, or even slows down. Consider that the average American are less satisfied with life today than we were in the 1950s, yet we earn twice as much.
How much is enough? Of course, the amount is relative, but consider what it represents to the average American: It's enough to cover the bills and have some fun money left over. After that, each incremental (递增的) move up the pay scale has less long-term emotional impact. A 20% raise won't make you 20% happier. In fact, chasing that extra 10 grand might just make you miserable. So the guy in the corner office may actually be more bummed_out than those of us in the cheap seats.
1．The first reason given by the author is that ________.
A．we don't know what brings true happiness
B．we like predicting our future state of mind
C．sadness hits us when our desires aren't satisfied
D．happiness brought by material things doesn't last long
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第二段的“They may make us happy for a short time, but we can easily forget the feeling of happiness brought by material things.”可知，第一个理由是金钱带来的快乐持续时间不长。
2．What does the author want to show by mentioning how much Americans made in the 1950s?
A．People back then weren't really happy.
B．Americans' lives have greatly changed.
C．Americans care more about money today.
D．Higher incomes don't mean a happier life.
解析：选D 作者意图题。根据第三段的“Consider that the average ... than we were in the 1950s, yet we earn twice as much.”可知，作者是想表明高收入并不意味着更快乐的生活。
3．What does the underlined part “bummed out” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Bored. B．Satisfied.
C．Disappointed. D．Excited.
解析：选C 词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的“In fact, chasing that extra 10 grand might just make you miserable.”可知，这里是指坐在单独办公室里的人或许比坐在便宜座椅里的人更加失望。
4．What is the text mainly about?
A．What money can't do for us.
B．Why people want more money.
C．What can benefit our mental health.
D．Why rich people aren't really happier.
解析：选D 主旨大意题。全文主要是讲为什么富裕的人并不比普通人更快乐，故选D项。
