Antarctica (南极洲) is a great, icy land, surrunded by the huge Suthern Ocean. The ice in Antarctica desn’t just cver the land. There’s als a large area f sea ice, which flats (漂浮) n the cean’s surface.
Scientists have been measuring the area f the sea ice in Antarctica since 1979. Fr mst f this time, Antarctica has seemed t be almst nt influenced by the changing weather cnditins experienced in ther parts f the planet. In fact, until recent years, Antartica’s sea ice area mainly set recrds fr grwing.
That began t change arund 2016. Nw, fr several years, the area f Antartica’s sea ice has been getting smaller. This year, the US Natinal Snw and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) reprted that Antartica’s sea ice reached its maximum (最大值) n September 10—almst tw weeks earlier than nrmal. And the sea ice was at a new recrd lw—nt just by a little bit, but by a lt.
The last time Antartica’s lw sea ice set a recrd at the end f winter was in 1986. And this year, there’s abut 1.03 millin square kilmeters less sea ice than in 1986. It’s hard t picture such a large area, but it’s arund 1.6 times the size f France.
Scientists are still trying t understand what is driving the change in Antarctica. Ted Scambs, a research scientist at the University f Clrad, says, “Antarctica’s ice levels have always changed sme, but the situatin this year is pinting twards warmer cean cnditins arund the area.”
The new lw recrd has wrried scientists. The sea ice is imprtant because it helps cl the planet. When it’s frzen, sea ice reflects sunlight back ut int space. But when the sea ice melts (融化), the water left behind is darker, and takes in and keeps mre heat.
42. What did NSIDC find abut the sea ice in Antarctica this year?
A. It prtected the wildlife in the cean.B. It grew and cvered a wider area.
C. It turned ut t be difficult t bserve.D. It reached a new recrd lw level.
43. Why des the writer mentin France in paragraph 4?
A. T present hw small the cuntry is.
B. T intrduce a new tpic fr discussin.
C. T shw Antarctica’s sea ice is getting smaller.
D. T explain the psitin f the wnderful land.
44. What causes the change in Antarctica accrding t Ted Scambs?
A. Lw rainfall.B. Shrt summer mnths.C. Cld weather.D. Rising temperatures.
45. What can we knw abut Antarctica’s sea ice?
A. It’s key t the earth’s cling system.B. It’s just a shrt-term prblem.
C. It reminds us t find water resurces.D. It ffers humans a bright future.
【答案】42. D 43. C 44. D 45. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了今年南极洲的海冰面积创下历史新低，引发科学家担忧。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Nw, fr several years, the area f Antartica’s sea ice has been by a lt.”可知，NSIDC今年对南极洲海冰的检测，发现南极洲的海冰面积达到了历史新低。故选D。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The last time Antartica’s lw scaice set a recrd at the end f winter was in 1986. And this year, there’s abut 1.03 millin square kilmeters less sea ice than in 1986. It’s hard t picture such a large area, but it’s arund 1.6 times the size f France.”可知，30多年的时间，南极洲海冰消失的面积相当于法国国土面积1.6倍，这是很大的面积，提到法国是为了显示南极洲海冰的急剧减少，故选C。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Ted Scambs, a research scientist at the University f Clrad, says, ‘Antarctica’s ice levels have always changed sme, but the situatin this year is pinting twards warmer cean cnditins arund the area.’ ”可知，Ted Scambs认为今年的情况表明该地区的海洋温度将升高，所以他认为气温上升导致了南极洲的变化，故选D。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The new lw recrd has wrried scientists. The sea ice in and keeps mre heat.”可知，海冰有助于冷却地球。当海冰结冰时，它会将阳光反射回太空。但当海冰融化时，留下的水会变黑，吸收并保持更多的热量。说明南极洲的海冰是地球冷却系统的关键，故选A。

70. (c)atch
【解析】
【导语】本文节选自《汤姆索亚历险记》，主要讲述了聪明的汤姆是如何让别的孩子帮助他粉刷篱笆的故事。
【61题详解】
句意：他想到了这一天他已经计划好的乐趣。根据“He lked at the fence, sighing and feeling bad. He thught f the fun he the day.”及首字母p可知，刷篱笆之前他早已有了计划。plan“计划”，本句时态为过去完成时，所以动词用过去分词形式。故填(p)lanned。
【62题详解】
句意：他甚至感觉更糟糕了。根据“ bad”和“And sn the free bys wuld make fun f him fr having t wrk.”可知，汤姆本来感觉不好，想到还有别的孩子会取笑他，感觉更差了。结合even修饰比较级，所以设空处填写bad的比较级形式。故填(w)rse。
【63题详解】
句意：汤姆没注意他，继续粉刷。根据“Tm paid n attentin t him”可知，汤姆继续自己的工作。cntinue“继续”，本句时态为一般过去时，所以动词用过去式形式。故填(c)ntinued。
【64题详解】
句意：他停下来，像个艺术家一样看他的作品。根据“lked at his wrk”和首字母a可知，汤姆像个艺术家一样。artist“艺术家”，不定冠词an后用可数名词单数。故填(a)rtist。
【65题详解】
句意：你称什么是工作？本句汤姆反问本，将什么称之为工作，what“什么”，位于句首字母w大写。故填(W)hat。
【66题详解】
句意：你真的喜欢它吗？根据“All I knw is, I like nt? Des a by get a chance t paint a fence every day?”及首字母r可知，本此时问汤姆是否真正地喜欢这个工作。really“真正地”，副词修饰动词。故填(r)eally。
【67题详解】
句意：本注视着一举一动，越来越感兴趣。根据“Hey, Tm, let me paint a little.”可知，本对汤姆的工作感兴趣了，interested“感兴趣的”，形容词修饰人。故填(i)nterested。
【68题详解】
句意：我会小心的。根据“Aunt Plly wants this fence painted carefully”可知，此处本表示自己会小心粉刷。careful“小心的”，形容词作表语。故填(c)areful。
【69题详解】
句意：汤姆把刷子递给本，脸上满是不情愿，心里却充满了快乐。根据前文内容可知，汤姆故意说这份工作不好做，是为了引起本的兴趣，让他帮自己干，所以当本主动要尝试时，汤姆心里充满了喜悦。happiness“幸福；快乐”，不可数名词。故填(h)appiness。
【70题详解】
句意：当本在阳光下小心翼翼地工作时，汤姆坐在树荫下吃着苹果，想着如何抓住更多的男孩。根据“While Ben wrked carefully in the sun, Tm sat in the shade eating the apple and thinking hw bys.”可知，此时树荫下享受的汤姆在想如何能抓住更多的男孩帮他干活。catch“抓住”，不定式符号t后用动词原形。故填(c)atch。

72. 除非你控制好情绪，否则我们不会开展这项计划。
_________________________________________________

_________________________________________________

75. 对于我们来说，学会如何与别人相处是必要的。
_________________________________________________
【答案】It is necessary fr us t learn hw t get n with thers.

Antarctica (南极洲) is a great, icy land, surrunded by the huge Suthern Ocean. The ice in Antarctica desn’t just cver the land. There’s als a large area f sea ice, which flats (漂浮) n the cean’s surface.
Scientists have been measuring the area f the sea ice in Antarctica since 1979. Fr mst f this time, Antarctica has seemed t be almst nt influenced by the changing weather cnditins experienced in ther parts f the planet. In fact, until recent years, Antartica’s sea ice area mainly set recrds fr grwing.
That began t change arund 2016. Nw, fr several years, the area f Antartica’s sea ice has been getting smaller. This year, the US Natinal Snw and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) reprted that Antartica’s sea ice reached its maximum (最大值) n September 10—almst tw weeks earlier than nrmal. And the sea ice was at a new recrd lw—nt just by a little bit, but by a lt.
The last time Antartica’s lw sea ice set a recrd at the end f winter was in 1986. And this year, there’s abut 1.03 millin square kilmeters less sea ice than in 1986. It’s hard t picture such a large area, but it’s arund 1.6 times the size f France.
Scientists are still trying t understand what is driving the change in Antarctica. Ted Scambs, a research scientist at the University f Clrad, says, “Antarctica’s ice levels have always changed sme, but the situatin this year is pinting twards warmer cean cnditins arund the area.”
The new lw recrd has wrried scientists. The sea ice is imprtant because it helps cl the planet. When it’s frzen, sea ice reflects sunlight back ut int space. But when the sea ice melts (融化), the water left behind is darker, and takes in and keeps mre heat.
42. What did NSIDC find abut the sea ice in Antarctica this year?
A. It prtected the wildlife in the cean.B. It grew and cvered a wider area.
C. It turned ut t be difficult t bserve.D. It reached a new recrd lw level.
43. Why des the writer mentin France in paragraph 4?
A. T present hw small the cuntry is.
B. T intrduce a new tpic fr discussin.
C. T shw Antarctica’s sea ice is getting smaller.
D. T explain the psitin f the wnderful land.
44. What causes the change in Antarctica accrding t Ted Scambs?
A. Lw rainfall.B. Shrt summer mnths.C. Cld weather.D. Rising temperatures.
45. What can we knw abut Antarctica’s sea ice?
A. It’s key t the earth’s cling system.B. It’s just a shrt-term prblem.
C. It reminds us t find water resurces.D. It ffers humans a bright future.

It’s hard t picture such a large area, but it’s arund 1.6 times the size f France.”可知，30多年的时间，南极洲海冰消失的面积相当于法国国土面积1.6倍，这是很大的面积，提到法国是为了显示南极洲海冰的急剧减少，故选C。
【44题详解】

【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The new lw recrd has wrried scientists. The sea ice in and keeps mre heat.”可知，海冰有助于冷却地球。当海冰结冰时，它会将阳光反射回太空。但当海冰融化时，留下的水会变黑，吸收并保持更多的热量。说明南极洲的海冰是地球冷却系统的关键，故选A。

【解析】
【导语】本文节选自《汤姆索亚历险记》，主要讲述了聪明的汤姆是如何让别的孩子帮助他粉刷篱笆的故事。
【61题详解】
句意：他想到了这一天他已经计划好的乐趣。根据“He lked at the fence, sighing and feeling bad. He thught f the fun he the day.”及首字母p可知，刷篱笆之前他早已有了计划。plan“计划”，本句时态为过去完成时，所以动词用过去分词形式。故填(p)lanned。
【62题详解】
句意：他甚至感觉更糟糕了。根据“ bad”和“And sn the free bys wuld make fun f him fr having t wrk.”可知，汤姆本来感觉不好，想到还有别的孩子会取笑他，感觉更差了。结合even修饰比较级，所以设空处填写bad的比较级形式。故填(w)rse。
【63题详解】
句意：汤姆没注意他，继续粉刷。根据“Tm paid n attentin t him”可知，汤姆继续自己的工作。cntinue“继续”，本句时态为一般过去时，所以动词用过去式形式。故填(c)ntinued。
【64题详解】
句意：他停下来，像个艺术家一样看他的作品。根据“lked at his wrk”和首字母a可知，汤姆像个艺术家一样。artist“艺术家”，不定冠词an后用可数名词单数。故填(a)rtist。
【65题详解】
句意：你称什么是工作？本句汤姆反问本，将什么称之为工作，what“什么”，位于句首字母w大写。故填(W)hat。
【66题详解】
句意：你真的喜欢它吗？根据“All I knw is, I like nt? Des a by get a chance t paint a fence every day?”及首字母r可知，本此时问汤姆是否真正地喜欢这个工作。really“真正地”，副词修饰动词。故填(r)eally。
【67题详解】
句意：本注视着一举一动，越来越感兴趣。根据“Hey, Tm, let me paint a little.”可知，本对汤姆的工作感兴趣了，interested“感兴趣的”，形容词修饰人。故填(i)nterested。
【68题详解】
句意：我会小心的。根据“Aunt Plly wants this fence painted carefully”可知，此处本表示自己会小心粉刷。careful“小心的”，形容词作表语。故填(c)areful。
【69题详解】
句意：汤姆把刷子递给本，脸上满是不情愿，心里却充满了快乐。根据前文内容可知，汤姆故意说这份工作不好做，是为了引起本的兴趣，让他帮自己干，所以当本主动要尝试时，汤姆心里充满了喜悦。happiness“幸福；快乐”，不可数名词。故填(h)appiness。
【70题详解】
句意：当本在阳光下小心翼翼地工作时，汤姆坐在树荫下吃着苹果，想着如何抓住更多的男孩。根据“While Ben wrked carefully in the sun, Tm sat in the shade eating the apple and thinking hw bys.”可知，此时树荫下享受的汤姆在想如何能抓住更多的男孩帮他干活。catch“抓住”，不定式符号t后用动词原形。故填(c)atch。

71. 他们还未决定何时给获胜者们颁发奖牌
_________________________________________________

72. 除非你控制好情绪，否则我们不会开展这项计划。
_________________________________________________

_________________________________________________
