2.(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,at which water turns into ice.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 stayed there may face many problems:very cold temperatures,sudden storms,and even hunger.Most of the area isuninhabited.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.

A.that the temperature suddenly drops
B.that the water under the ice is frozen

He had to work with people all over the world. They shared information about computers. It was hard to manage all the information. He answered the same questions again and again. It took a lot of time. It was even difficult for computers in the same office in Switzerland to share information, Tim also forgot things easily. Could a computer work like a brain? Could it "talk" to other computers?
There was an Internet already but it was difficult to use. In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web (WWW) all by himself. This had a special language that helped computers talk to each other on the Internet. When people wanted to share information with others, they used the World Wide Web. The Internet grew quickly after that.
Tim Berners-Lee doesn't think he did anything special. He says that all of the ideas about the Internet were already there. All he did was to put them together. He says that many other people worked together to make the Internet what it is today.

4.(10分)People can't see you when you're speaking on the phone, but they can hear you. So, the way you speak is especially important. In fact, researchers have calculated that 80% of communication over the phone is through your tone of voice; and only 20% is from the words you use. Here are our top tips on how to speak over the phone.
1.Facial Expressions
Your facial expression can influence your voice. For example, if you smile, your voice will sound warm and friendly, just the opposite, if you have an angry look on your face, it can make you sound unpleasant.
2.Volume
If you speak too loudly, you could sound angry. And if you speak too softly,it'll be difficult to hear you. So,speak loudly enough to be heard clearly,but not so loud that you're shouting.
3.Pace
The pace of your voice is how quickly you speak. And this can show how you feel. For example, an angry person might speak faster than normal. Or a downhearted person might speak very slowly. Try speaking a little more slowly than normal. This will make you sound confident, and it'll make it easier for the other person to understand you.
4.Gestures
Gesturing can influence the tone of your voice. When you gesture, you bring more air into the lungs, which can make your voice sound warmer. Gestures are also useful to help you stress the right words or even find the words you need. The best thing about gesturing during a phone call is that no one can see what you're doing, so you can gesture as wildly as you like!
5.Movement
If you're feeling nervous, stand up and move around. It will reduce the nervousness in your body and help your voice to sound more confident.
6.Pauses (停顿)
Using pauses every now and then can help you to slow down. This will make you sound more confident and in control. Also, if you pause after giving some new information,it'll give the other person time to understand it. At the same time, listen to how the other person uses pauses. They could tell you something about the speaker's feeling. For example, when a speaker is really angry, he might use pauses and says,I…am…so…angry…"
