三、阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）

A

   There are seven continents (洲) in the world. Among them, Antarctica (南极洲) is the most special one. It is a world of snow and ice all year round. China has sent many scientists there. They try to find resources (资源) under the icy land and study the climate change and sea biology.

    Scientists don't have many choices on what they eat. About 60% of their food is frozen food. It is easy to heat (加热). Meat is common on the menu, but vegetables are not usual. Fresh vegetables are hard to grow in the cold weather. Therefore, people often eat dried and canned vegetables.

    In Antarctica, summer lasts from November to March. During this time, Antarctica faces the sun and gets sunlight all day. In order to get some sleep, scientists cover the window with black cloth to make "night".

    People can wear warm clothes to be against the cold weather, but they can do little with the strong wind. Sometimes, the wind is even stronger than a typhoon. It can easily blow people away. So there are ropes (绳索) that connect some research stations. People can hold these ropes to keep balance in strong winds.

    There are no cables or Internet on the frozen continent. So mobiles and computers don't work there. Scientists usually use two-way radios to communicate at work. If they want to say hello to their family and friends, they can use the satellite phones.

1. What do scientists do in Antarctica?
A. They mostly study on the animals and plants there.
B. They mostly find resources and study climate change and sea biology.
C. They mostly find different kinds of lives under the ice and study them.
D. They mostly study on the ice and geography.

3. What do they do when the day lasts for all day?
A. They work all day long.
B. They find a way to make "night".
C. They stop working on those days.
D. They go down the ice to work.
4. How do the scientists work on the terrible windy days?
A. They use ropes to help themselves.
B. They just stay in the houses.
C. They use cars and ships to help themselves.
D. They don't think the wind brings trouble.
5. If a scientist wants to say I love you to his or her daughter, what can he or she use?
A. Mobile phones.
B. One-way radios.
C. Satellite phones.
D. Computers.

B

    Most students in America like popular music. Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class, after class and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play music loudly as they drive on the road.

    Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to news about sports, the weather and the life of American people. Most of the radio programs are about music.

    Popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in many places. Once a popular singer is heard all over the country, young people will buy his or her CDs or tapes. Some of the money from them goes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, most of the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national star.

    There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk music which tells stories about the common life of Americans. Another is called western or country music. It was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows which they were watching. Today, any music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music.

四、任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

   The story of Robinson Crusoe has been popular around the world for nearly three hundred years. People used to think the story was not true. However, researchers (研究者) have found that Alexander Selkirk had the same experience. He went to a small island in 1704 and stayed there for more than four years.

   Researchers discovered a house and some tools on the island. They believed that these belonged to Alexander Selkirk. They also found some holes. It was certain that Selkirk used them to watch coming ships or look out for dangerous animals.

   It is said that Selkirk came to stay on the island after he quarreled with his captain (船长). He decided to stay there to repair an old ship. He didn't know that he would stay there for nearly five years before he was picked up by a visiting English ship.

   His story was written down in 1709. He told people that he had to kill goats with his gun. He ate the meat and used the skin (毛皮) for clothes.

   We are not sure whether Daniel Defoe had ever met Selkirk. Yet, it is certain that he had heard of the story of Selkirk's adventures before he wrote the novel.
